The market value of gold has been de-
Ginning lately, and yesterday 1t went down
below 143. A month ago 1t was l54.
There has been in the interim great deal
of fiucfuation-up one day and down an
other-but the general tendency to de-
cline. The incidental fluctuations have
been caused mainly by the gold gamblers,
but the general result springs from
general causes Business men and the
people at large begin to see that there is
no good cause for high premium on
gold; that the resources of the country and
Government, and the large stock of specie,
both in the vaults OF the Treasury, and in
the hands of the community, afford suf-
ficient guarantee of our ability to return to
specie payments as soon as it may be safe
and praC ticable to do so.
But certain class of spectators are en-
deayoring to create apprehensions offinan-
cial and commercial difficulties to favor
their operations, from the fact that gold
has declined so much within n short time.
Now, there is not the least cause for ap-
prehension provided the Secretary of the
Treasury should not tamper with the cur
rency and attempt to carry out his ridicu-
lous theory of forcing specie payments.
Gold is simply and only an article of mer-
chandise the s,>>e as corn or cotton. Cur
rency is the money Of the country, and as
long as that remains undisturbed nobody
will suffer but the unsuccessful gold specu-
lators. There may be failures from over
trading or from having enormous stocks Of
goods on hand for which there'is no mark
ct These occur at al times, in specie
paying times as well as when paper is the
currency; but this has nothing to do with
the general question. While there is a
sufficiency of money for our domestic
use--of money which can not be drawn
away from us to Europe, that is, of our
national currency--a general revulsion is
impossible. Nor is there any ground for
the alarm which the specie jobbers endeav-
or to create on account of the decline in
gold. We are not going to rush to specie
payments all at once, and thus reduce
the means of the community. 1t took
England ten years TO return to specie pay
ments under similar circumstances to our
own; after the prolonged and exhausting
wars with the first Napoleon. Gold will
necessarily continue to go down, though
subject to feverish fluctuations, but not at
the rate of ten per cent a month. We
shall gradually approximate specie stand
ard by the natural growth of the country
and trade; and in the course of a few years
we may reach that point. In the mean
time there need not be any alarm about
gold falling; there is no necessity of forcing
it down faster than the natural laws oftrade
and our growth viii carry it.

Pork Crop.

The continued stringency of the money
market, and especially in this and other
western States, where the wheat crop was
almost total failure, is exciting serious
apprehensions. Our correspondent, wri-
ting from Cincinnati, intimates that several
heavy failures are on the taps there, which
will doubtless be followed by others. As
it is in the Queen City, so it is in many
other of the cities of the West, and we fear
that season of commercial prostration is
most emminent. The only hope that we
have for a speedy easing up of the money
market. and for more liberal circulation
around the country of Uncles Sans curren-
is the coming crop of hogs, the pork they
will make and the money they will bring
From all we can gather from our ex-
changes, we are inclined TO think that the
hog crop this year will be somewhat in ex-
cess of last season. The reason is evident.
the early frosts during the fall months seri-
ously damaged the corn in many localities,
and made it unfit for the market. To save
it all they can, the farmers have generally
fed il out TO their hogs as matter of econ
omy. Hence it is almost certain that the
number of hogs brought to market this
year will be largely in excess ofthat slaugh-
tered last year But good judges estimate
that, though the number of hogs will be
so largely increased, hogs will not fatten
near so well on damaged corn as on the hear
ty solid ear. Hence it is feared that the qual-
ity of pork willnoi be so good, and that to-
gether with the stringency of the money
market will cause lower prices to rule than
during the last season.
Good hogs, weighing heavy and produ-
cling good pork however, can not be much
lower. The still impoverished condition
Of the southern States renders large de-
mand from that section inevitable We
think that it may be safe to calculate on a
large yield of pork, and fair prices there
for. With the commencement of the pork
season we may look for increased activity
in branches of trade, and especially may
we expect to see our industrious farming
population enabled to secure that which
the unprecedented failure of the wheat
crop for two years has denied them-a fair
remunor ltion for their honest toil.-ladi-

Interview Between General
Grant and the PreSf6 eat.

1t appears that the interview Of General
Grant with the President, which occurred
week Before last in regard to the question
of amnesty and suffrage, was of a very
earnest and significant character. II is un-
derstood that the General took strong
grounds against the scheme. as an utterly
unsafe one on which to restore the rebels
to power: and further urged Mr.. johnson
to accept and recommend the Constitution.
al Amendment as fair and just plan of re-
construction. He took the ground that the
people had declared for it in unmistakable
terms in the elections, and il would be ex-
ceedingly unwise to disregard their wishes
as thus expressed. To all this it is said the
President listened without indicating his
own views, but leaving decided impress
sion upon the mind of the Gen. that his adj
vice had not produced the least effect. 1t is
known that General Grant is fthe opinion
that enough of the Southern States would
Immediately raiify the Amendment TO make
it part Of the Constitution. provided Mr..
Johnson should give it his support.

The delegated Convention ofiemperance
men of Indiana, which met in Roberts
Chapel, on Wednesday, did not succeed
in adjusting its plans and policy for the
future in the harmonious manner that was
anticipated. The old State Centeral Temp
erance Committee had, as is well known,
adopted for its platform the principle that
there should be no license to sell intOXica-
ing liquors, except upon Inc petition of a
majority of the community where said
liquors were to be sold. II seems that the
leading members of the Order of Good
Tempiars were not satisfied with this plat
form, hut demand ID 's;raightout prohibit
tory law, such as was enacted in 1855.
To this S. NJ. Stewart, DIR. Holiday, Chap
lain Lozier and other leading members of
the Host" together with E. j. Morris,
Dr. L. Albeit, and others, offered serious
and weighty objections. The Templars
and the prohibition" Sons, who were
present soon saw, however, that they had
the majority, so took up the prohibitory
law resolutions and passed them
II is understood that the Hosts Of Tenn
perance, as an organization, take their
stand on the platform of the old Central
Committee and it is believed that the
Sons of Temperance will generally do
likewise. Both sides claim to be in favor
CT stopping the liquor traffic, but they
differ as to the method Of doing 1t very
materially.
The following State Central Committee
was appointed. consisting of five from In
dianapolis, and one from each Congress
ional District:
From the City of Indianapolis Colonel
James Blake, F. G. Holiday, ID. D., Chas.

The Committee organized by electing j.
B. Albeit, Chairman, and Charles w.
Stagg, secretary The Good T1npiar and
temperance Journal was heartily endorsed
and adopted as the organ of the Committee,
and Charles w. Stagg was selected TO rep
resent the Committee In the columns of
that paper. Arrangements were made for
the circulation of petitions for a prohibit
tory law, and vigorous prosecution OF
the temperance cause in all its depart
ments, was resolved upon.
Despite the difference of opinion alluded
to above, SINCE the Convention has declaed
for prohibition, the temperance men are
prepared to stand up to that platform,
although it may be that the Legislature will
be petifioned for both a prohibitory law
and Shuey Bill--fnd. Jour.

Equal Rights and Exact Justice
to All Wel,

| 1t therefore advocates IMPARTIAL Suffrage
irrespective of color or birthplace. Right
wrongs no man, and no MINIS rights are
abridged or endangered by giving to every
law-abiding citizen oil his rights And no
scheme OF reconstruction VIII prove salts
factory or enduring that denies equal civil
and political rights and privileges 10 any
class of loyal citizens. No Democrat can
oppose impartial suffrage anil equal rights
without shameful moons envy and stultif-
cation. And the South can iever be truly
free, prosperous or happy Until all its
citizens are recognized as eqtal before the
law, and equal in making til, laws. which
they must obey, regardless o. coo. or posi-
lion.
The Chicago tribune sincerely believes
in the Declaration of Independence, and i
therefore RADICAL in its aims, impulses and
endeayors, and is confident OF witnessing
at an early day, the acceptance and
adoption of the beneficicnt doctrines OF
Republicauism in every section and sub
division of our common country.
The readers Of The TRIBUNE will bear
testimony that the policies it has opposed
have generally been discarded; the meas
ures 1t has supported have nearly all been
adopted, and that its predictions have been
singularly verified. The secret of its in
tiuence on public AFFAIRS is, that 1t espouses
what is RIGHT. earnestly, and combats
what is WRONG boldly; and the glass with
