International Coinage.

To The Editor of the ". Y. EUening Post
Your journal of last evening, in speaking of
the report recently made to the Department of
State by the undersigned, as delegate to the
international Monetary Conference" at Paris,
seriously misappTehended its action, in sup
posing that it has sought tn substitute the gold
6Ve-franc piece of France for the gold dollar Of
the United States.
The proposition actually submitted for the
consideration of the nineteen nations repre-
sented, is 10 reduce the weight of the minimum
gold coin of each nation to that of the gold five
franc piece of France, each to be nIne-tenths
fine.
The United States dollar and the French ive-
francs, thus becoming equivalent and equipon-
deranl, will be mutually convertible. Each will
become, in effect, the monetary unit A similar
result would practically ollow from the reduc-
tion of the British sovereign" in weight aud
value to twenty-five francs. The Conference has
not sought or proposed, in any way, to dscon-
tinue or disuse the dollar" or the "sovereign," /"
nor to adopt "French money" exclusively, as
the coin of the world.
Whenever the report with the accompanying
documents, is printed by Congress for public
examina ion, it will be found that each nation
is to retain its own names and emblems for its
coins, which aIe simply to be made uniform in
weight and value, to pass side by side, in per.
feet equality, throughout the world, without
rPcoinage brokerage, or other impeachment;
thereby materially cheapening international
commerce and intercourse.
Nor is the proposed reduction in weight any
novel experiment. The act of Congress OF June,
1884 to facilitate the circulation of the gold
coins of the United States, reduced their weight
in fine gold nearly six per cent. Respectfully
yours, SAAUE Ell b. hUGGLBs'

Irving to Disown Him.

THR New York World has the assurance to
speak of Mr.. Johnson's 8 Administration, in con-
nection with the terrible Generalization of the
revenue service, as a ''Republican Admins
tration ~ We do not wonder that the Demo-
Gratis stagger under the odium which Mr..
Johnson's Administration is heaping upon
itself in the eyes of the people, but it is a
very silly dodge to call it Republican
Administration" Mr.. Johnson turned traitor
to the Republican party long ago, and is to-
day doing everything that he can, to the very
verge of preCipitating the country into revo-
luton, to break it down. The whole power
of his administration is being welded in the
partisan interests of the Democracy. 1t is a
Democratic Administration to all intents and
purposes, and the Democrats must bear the
odium of its misdeeds. Mr.. Johnson is a
heavy load to carry, but the Democrats have
shouldered him, and they must carry him as
best they may.

THR GERNAN REPUBMoANs Of New York
have prepared an address, which we cordially
commend to their brethren Of Philadelphia,
and urge them not to let side issues cause
them to waver in their adherence to the good
cause which has hitherto had the sympathy
and support of large majority of our German
American citizens:--
''The war against the aristocracy Of the South
and their Northern allies Is not yet over. Two
decisive battles are yet to be fought-the coming
fall elections and the Presidential election OF
next year. defeat of the Republican party In
those two battles would endanger the results
so dearly bou1ht, since 1856, by immense
efforts and sacrifices. What the first rebellion,
under Jefferson Davis, has not been able to
carry out, would be achieved by the second re
bellion under Andrew Johnson. No thinking
person can doubt the truth of this assertion; no
patriotic citizen will, at the decisive moment,
abandon The banner of liberty, or right, OF the
regenerated Union. All German radicals,
whose resolution IL is to act and vote in the
coming elections with the Republican party,
are invited TO perfect an organization OF the
German radicals. Combined and energetic
action of the faithful German radicals is the
only means by which both the just claims OF
the COMMUNICATIONS and the great national
cause can be saved
"New York, September 8, 1867"
We can only say to the German Republicans
of our own city-"Go and do likewise"

in favor Of the defendant, then no man could
be sure Of his property. Any tenant might
forge deed Of conveyance, have 1t registered,
and then mortgage the property, and the bona
tide owner would thus be, beyond remedy,
swindled out Of his rights. II would be impossi-
BILE for any discretion to prevent this fraud. The
utmost vigilance could not render property
safe, and real estate would be far more pre-
carious investment than horse-Aesh. On
the other hand, If the decision was
given for the plaintiff, then mortgages
would almost cease. No man could be safe in
advancing money on such an investment. If
a court of record could not be relied upon,
then what can be 1t would be necessary to
see the previous owners of the property in
proprid persona before the deed could be con-
sidered safe, and their presence is often impos-
sible. Whichever way the decision is, some
great inconvenience must result. It seems
unjust to have Mr.. Norris lose his money, as
he acted in good faith, but It would be grossly
unjust to have Mr.. Harper swindled out of his
property. Yet one must lose.

Gold Going UP.

THE price of gold is steadily advancing, and
reached l45s yesterday. This is attributable
solely to one cause, and that is the universal
distrust of the future occasioned by the recent
course of Andrew johnson. Nobody knows
what to expect. He is a violent, headstrong
man, and is surrounded with set of reckless
Copperhead advisers, who are urging him on
to revolution. And SO the vast interests of
thirty millions of people are daily jeopardized
by the weakness and wiokedness of one man.
If Andrew Johnson keeps on in his present
course, we may expect to see gold mounting
still higher, and, at the same time, an increase
in the cost OF all the necessaries of life. Truly
we are paying dearly for this legacy that

An Important Law Case.

~
OuR readers will remember that some weeks
slnce we noticed a very interesting and curious
Hauu whlch had been perpetratei on the title
OF some real estate in Germantown. A forged
deed OF conveyance was made ont by a partv
named johnson, and regularly filed in the
proper court OF record. johnson then visited
Norris Il Son, and, showing his brief of t;.Io
succeeded in raising five thousand dollars -,
a mortgage on this property. After sorOo
months the fraud was detected and the soroor
convicted and sentenced. The case has novv
come up before Justice Thompson, ait
ing in Nisi Prius, for final settle
meut. Mr.. Norris, as soon as he
detected the fraud, foreclosed his mortgage,
and the property was sold by the Sheriff. Mr.
Harper, the bona Jfde owner, now asks for 9
decree from the Court expunging from the
Daed Book of the County of Philadelphia thu
sovged deed and the mortgage, and an orde
d;reotine the Sheriff not to make out th'
naDers Of the property to the purchaser unde
tba sale. The decree has not as yet beel
rendered. but the case is one of unusual in
tsrest to all holders of real estate, and also t.
all our capitalists.

The Case of Fitz John Porter.

ne CdSb O1 FltZ JO0n fOrLeTs
Mr.. FIrz JOHN PORTER has appealed to the
President to reopen the sentence of the Court
Martial passed on him in January, 1868, and
to allow the merits of his conduct to be once
more submitted to the judgment of Military
Commission. In this request he is backed by
a number of eminent Republicans, and is en-
dOrsed by General Banks and Governor Curtin.
Mr.. Porter states that he has new evidence to
lay before a Court, which, in his opinion, will
materially alter the aspect in which his con-
duct appeared when sentence was passed. We
earnestly hope that his request will be granted,
and an opportunity afforded him to clear his
character. The reputation of any man is dear
to him, and especially so when he is so identi-
fed with great events as to have his name
handed down to posterity. To take place in
history, despised for the commission of some
unworthy act, must be a keen torture to any
man, but especially so if he knows himself to
be innocent. 1t is right which should
be accorded to the meanest criminal, to give
him the benefit of a doubt; and there has long
been, to our mind, a very grave doubt whether
justice was meted out to Mr.. Porter.
We are not convinced of his innocence, nor
can we deem the sentence passed by the Court
to be an unjust one, viewing it in the light of
the facts then proved before it, but new facts
have appeared, and already the three leading
historians who have written of the war have,
to a great extent, vindicated the conduct of
Mr.. Porter from much of the blame under
which it had rested. Mr.. Greeley is emphatic
in the opinion that the sentence passed was
unmerited. Mr.. Swinton appears as the advo-
cate of Mr.. Porter, while all writers on the
subject have at least maintained neutral atti-
tude, and refused to condemn the cashiered
general. Under such circumstances, it is only
fair that another chance should be allowed to
Mr.. Porter to clear his character. And for
this chance he now appeals, and we hope that
he may get it. If he fails, then all doubt will
be set at rest; if he succeeds, we will rejoice
with him that one supposed to be guilty has
proved his innocence, and added to our army
an officer who was faithful though unfortunate
in discharging his duty.

The MANNER in which General Sheridan is
received wherever he goes, proves that the
expressions of General Grant, in his letter of
protest, were true, despite the denial of the
Executive. The people receive him with open
arms and should he make tour of the North,
the welcome which would greet him would be
without parallel in the annals of our country.
1t would prove, indeed, that Gin republic
like ours the will of the people is the law of
the land.
