THE Richmond Examiner, which sup
ports "my policy" welcomes Northern
emigrants to the South in the following
style:
''Gentlemcn of the North, We extend
to you cordial welcome, SO you bring
thrift, industry, honesty and-green-
backs. And u you iOiU only LcGve your
consciences behind, nothing will molest
you from tho Potomac TO the Rio
Grande."
The Bread Butter men can visit
the South in safety. They LEFT their
consciences behind when they Joined
the Presidents party. But the Repub-
lichns propose to make itsafe for Union
men to travel in the South carrying
their consciences with them. Until this
can be done, the work of reconstruction
will never be properly accomplished.
It is n cardinal principle of the Repub-
ltcan creetl that every man has right
to carry his conscience into any State,
county or town of the Republic, secure
from molestatiOn or interference from
any quarter.

Proof OF Armor, but only a Coat.

A French journal has a story of tho
invention of an inVulnerable coat, with
which experiments were recently made
in Belgium. The inventor, Charles
Bernard, took position at n distance of
one hundred metres from stand upon
which a cavalry carbine had been
placed. and on taking off his coat,
showed that between his breast and his
cdpOte there was absolutely nothing but
his shirt and his waistcOat. He then
put on his cGpOtc, which is a flowing
garment falling to the ground, and COW
cred his head with II steel casque. The
shot was then fired. The public were
greatly moved when they appeared to
see NJ. Bernard Staggcr and fall. Hap
PLY, he had only made u false step in
STOPPING to pick up the ball, which had
struck him II little above the waist and
to the left side. The ball, deadened
against the stuff had fallen at his foot.
Att short distance he threw the ball to
tho mnrksmnn, crying to them not to
approach. Not yet having taken out n
patent, NJ. Bernard absolutely refused
10 let the garment be examined by
which he obtained so marvellous a re-
suit. The ball was only slightly beaten
out of shape, and bore on its point the
impress of the stuff. The inventor of
fered to renew the experiment; but, in
presence of the result obtained, those
present declared Il new experiment un-
necessary. The coat is said to weigh
very little, SO that there can be no OBJ
lection to it on the score of its burden

THE SUBSIDIZED PREss.-The Presi-
dent in his electioneering tour has had
good deal to say about subsidized
press. Tho National IntcLLiOencer is the
President's recognized organ, and the
Star, also Conservative paper, shows
how 1t has been subsidized. Tho ImteL-
G9cHccr has made q very largo return
OF advertising receipts, the cause OF
which Is thus explained by the ISIur:
We learn, however, that the SUB rosa
explanation made in behalf or the IN
tettigcmccr, as to the why and wherefore
OF this remarkable return, is, that dur
ing that quarter the IntelliGeuccr was
allowed pay by the Government for
some old advertising, inserted without
authority, and for which the Govern
ment had heretofore refused to pay
Some of this dead-horse ADVERTISING
inserted to fill up with, and taking the
chances of getting pay, ran back year
or more, we hear. The IntcLLigenceT's
showing is, therefore, a big sham. It
paradss It's year-old-dead- horse -adver.
tising wind-fall receipts to make it ap-
pear that the bona fdc advertising bust
ness for the quarter had shot up to, and
beyond, that of any of its city cotem-
porartes, when i'll fact it had little more
than one quarter of the advertising
business of tho Star, as shown bV tic
business columns of the two papers.
This shows how and by whom the
subsidizing is done.

From the New York Post.
The C1OIn Market.

We presume that those who feared
Inconvenience to the business of the
community from the policy which we
have recommended to the Treasury, to-
wit: that it should sell mono of its gold,
are by this time convinced of the
groundlessness of their apprehensions.
Their fear was that this policy would
mako gold so scarce in the outside mar
ket rs to put up it's price to mon
strous premium of two hundred or three
hundred per cent. In the last month
gold has probably been more scarce
than at any time siCce the suspension
Ofspecio payments; at all events, we
have heard more complaints than ever
of its scarcity.
To aggrnvate the scarcity, combi-
nation of capitalists is said to have got
possession of eight or ten millions,
which they withheld from sale. This
would cOuntervail by five times all the
arrivals of gold in the market during
tho same period. -"
All this time coin has been going into
the Treasury at the rato of from three
to five hundred thousand dollars per
day, to remain there locked up. Yet
gold has not risen. And this, notwith-
standing that the policy we suggested
is only partially carried out. The coin
OF the Treasury has not been specially
appropriated to the future redemption
lAtion in the Treasury, now, has simply
the effect to strenghthen generally the
credit of the Government, and to give
to all its obligations higher gold
value, OF which effect the legal tender
notes get share. The more gold the
Treasury has in hand, the sooner is it
likely, the people believe, to be able and
ready to meet all its obligations in
specie.
Scarcity of specie In the market, no
matter how great, cannot make gold
rise in price while other causes are op-
Grating to raise the gold value of the
government notes, because the price of
gold is simply its value compared with
legal tender notes, and nothing else.
The value of gold relatively to other
things, to sugar, to wheat or dry goods,
may be increased by reason of its scar
city, but not, under these circumstan- :
ces, its price. That is to say, it may
tRke more sugar or wheat to buy a GER
tain quantity ofgold, but 1t cannot take
more of our legal tender money, when
that legal tender money has been itself
made just as much more valuable rel
atively than gold.
a rise in the gold value of legal ten
dor money and rise in the price of
gold, simultaneous in their occurrence,
is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Tho struggles of the gold market to
adjust the relative value of gold to our
present money may be likened to the
workings of a balance, in one scale of
which is gold, in the other our legal
tender money, each striving against the
weight or value of the other. Every
dollar of coin that goes into the Treasn-
ry goes straight into tho legal tender

FALL OF A GREAT MAN.-Coming
down Chestnut street, st. Louis, one
day last week, writes correspondent,
was struck by the appearance of an
old man past sixty, who wore thread
bare cont, shiny with constant wear,
and whose hat was bruised and seedy.
His head was bent toward the earth,
and his walk was n tottering shuttle, the
effect of whisky and old age. he reel
ed from one side of the pavement to
the other, and at last brought up against
lamp-post on the corner, when a
young looking loafer coming along sa-
luted him with "Hulloa, JfmI Come
and take n drink ?" The old mans
eyes frightened, and, arm-in-arm, he
sauntered along to the nearest groggery
with his companion. Five years ago
that old man was James Green, United
States Senator from Missouri, and in
the days of the Kansas and Lecompton
matters he was next to Stephen. A.
Douglas, theablest debater in Congress.
But the war broke out, Mr.. Green was
sent to the Rebel Congress, soon lost his
property, his position and his charac-
ter, and now he is poor drunkard, and
earns barely pittance of living as a
calaboose shyster.

Is ready at once to abandon the freed
men to their old masters, TO withdraw

The Boonsboro' MIDI Odd FelLop, in
its issue of last week, says
Governor Swami says the Uncondi-
tional Union party is in favor of negro
suffrage and negro equality. This we
deny. We are opposed 10 negro suf-
fraGe, and to rebel suffrage also. We
are in favor Of white men voting only
for white men, while Swami is in favor
Of white men voting for negroes.
he Is in fRvor of one white man in
South Carolina having as much repre-
sentative power as HcO white men in
Maryland. Maryland has double the
white population that South Carolina
has, and yet that State has ytivc repre-
sentatives in Congress, the same as our
State. The Congressional plan of re-
construction proposes to fix the basis OF
representation on the Uoting population;
Johnson's policy, of which Swami is n
supporter, objects to giving up the
power placed in their hands through
the negro: Who, then, is in favor OF n
tChttc mans Government Let the peo-
pie reflect, and decide.
