The Public e b

The New York Tribune sees repudia-
ton ahead. 1t says:
Mr.. Pendleton's plan of paying off the
whole debt by further issues OF green
backs to the extent of two billions rather
stsggeTs some of the weaker brethren,
and thus demurs the Argtsi
HThe proposition OF Mr.. Pendleton
goes further than the substitution of a
government currency for the present
bank circulation. 1t proposes TO issue for
the whole body of the debt, as it falls
due, an equivalent amount of paper
money. The process is to be graduated
in some way; but IN Whdt tedy? The
five-twenties are due In large amounts
8 large amount Of the debt is convertible
in this form. Can we afford to flood the
country With the thousands of millions
of greenbaeks requisite for this process of
debt extinction? We can see how easy
it may be thus to swamp the debt, but
would it not stOdH7p ALL debts and food
all prOpertV9 Would not the deIuUe of
paper sweep dWdy the whole fabric of
credit and Of eristing valuations? We
must learn how this process is to be made
gradual, before we can realize its value
as a measure of craftsmanship"
The argus Is evidently not up to the
western standard of democracy. To
"swsmp all debts,n by making money
so abundant that a creditor will instinct
lively run at the sight of his debtor,
fearing that the latter will insist on pay-
ing him of, is the hoped for millennium
Of the embarrassed and the thriftless.
Most men could easily pay their debts-or
suppose they could-if we only had ten
times the currency we now have so that
$1,000 worth lat present valustion) of
pay $4,000 of debt. Only pass the word
that the PendletOn policy will "swamp
all debts" and its champions will be
rapidly multiplied, especially at the
west.

TIE PnrNn srERLIsG-

The recent decision of Judge Shipman
as to the valve of the pound sterling,
onOe more directs public attention to the
complicated and confusing method OF
reckoning this portion Of our foreign eX-
changes. The custom of reckoning the
pound sterling at 81 A originated in
causes now ended, obsolete, generally
forgotten, and seldom understood. Our
other exchanges are easily computed.
4 hundred centines make a franc, and
when 8 bill in Paris is quoted at 5 20, it is
meant that the dollar here will bring
five francs and twenty confines there,
and so on. When Prussian thalers are
quoted at p, 1t is meant that a thaler in
Prussia will bring y cents here. Other
similar instances might be quoted.
The pound sterling, or sovereign, is
worth s. S., bgt instead of saying so
it is reckOned at ST A, and the dealer in
exchange adds to this a certain premium,
often 1891, making the result tbesamea as
II reckoned simply at the real par value
Of 81 IS. The process is circuitous, and
there is no good reason for it. 1t con-
fuses many people of ordinary under
standing, and even now there are more
places IN the interior than New York
merchants could suppose, where this OBJ
scure mystiicatiOn is quoted as a proof
that +" the balance Of trade" is sadly
against US, and that we need a stiff
tariff to protect us against the foreigners
who are perpetually striving to rob us Of
our specie. Certainly it is a poor argu-
ment, but it answers the purpose for a
time, and is quite as good a bait as many
Older contriYances forming the stock-in-
trade Of the pTOteotioniSts.-A. 7. World.

AnUNCHAUsEE.

The New York Tribune says that
"Louisiana and Texas have been pre-
eminent in disloyalty; outside OF the
large cities, Texas has been the he'll OF
freedmen, aad the paradise of guerillas. y
It is strange that a journal which claims
for itself an extraordinary responsibility,
and pretends tn have a conscience, can
make such interruptions statements,
The New York World says:
The freedmen in Texas enjoy more real
freedom-the freedom TO earn their W
living and to make their own labor
bargsins-thRn the negroes in aug other
southern state, simply because they are
beyond the baleful influence and inter-
ference of the freedmen's bureau. That
national nuisance was partially intro
duced on the sea-board edges of that state,
but as long ago as February eth, we pub
Iished e telegram from Galveston
that the bureau had been virtually
withdrawn from Texas, and from that
date the STRENGTHENING leeches and the
photograph selling school mistresses have
extended their missiOnsry labors to other
sections. The state, too, has been free
from all attempts to manufacture negro
Iaborers into radical voters, and hence
there mas been, as the crops this season
viii show, q gsnlipe cooperation be-
tween the employers and their laborers,
resulting in substantial benefit to all. To
the absence Of the b~usy-bOdy agents Of
the bureau and, above all, TO the absence
of radical political adventures and riot
breeders, may be attributed the absence
of those disturbances and eXcitements
which have occurred in other states, and
TO the same causes are due the general
quiet and comparative prosperity that
obtain to day in Texas.

From the National Baptist, Philadelphia
AN EXPLANATION NEEDED.



The New York Tribune, in the course
of an article upon the plans for a reform
in the n OF voting, now agitsted
in the Constitutional Convention of New
York, and very recently in Parliament,
thus forcibly shows the iniquity of the
present system, under which it is SIM
ply impossible for q representative gov
ernment to endure for any great length
of time:
Suppose the capital Of a railroad, bank,
or mandatory, to be represented by
5000 shares, and its business to be man
aged by a board of nine directors; il is
proposed that each thousand shares shall
be authorized to choose q Of those di-
rectors. Thus, in case of & diversity of
views among the stockholders, whereby
the owners of 5000 shares should stand
opposed to the owners of 1000, Judge
Paige would enable the minority to
choose four of the nine directors; whereas,
under the e-existing simple majority
system, the owners of the 5000 shares
Tor ever 450l) elect the entire board, and
thus exclude the minority from any
voice In the management OF their COM
mon property and interests. Nay: the
directors chosen by the bare majority
may exclude the minority from all prac-
teal knowledge of such management,
and may proceed to vote salaries, allow
ances, and gratuities from the common
funds to themselves and their sons,
brothers, cousins, and nephews, without
allowing the minority, of whose proper.
ty they are thus literally disposing, to
know what is in progress thus preclud-
ing them from seeking TO arrest the
spoilation by process Of law. .
That the absolute, unchecked MAORI
tv rule hitherto in vogue tends to secure
unity, efficiency, and vigor in admins
tration, is freely conceded; but this is
simply the natural advantage of despOt-
ism over liberty. In the last resort, the
majority rules under either system but
may not minority fairly claim a right to
see and to be heard? They can be outvoted;
shall they therefore be ignored and sup
pressed? They can be plundered but is
that a reason for sitting their remon-
stranees and bandaging their eyes?
We trust the day is not distant when
every citizen of q free state shall be
actually represented in its legislature,
and every stakeholder In a corporation
have a director in its board, unless he be
one of 8 fraction too small to form a
seventh or ninth part Of the whole body
Of stockholders. We cannot doubt that
government will be juster, p~artizanshIp
less violent, and legislation and admin
~istration purer under such a system.
We apologize for reminding the people
of Tennessee, whom a negro majority
governs, hat there are countries in
which the questions that are connected
with free and Constitutional Govern
ment are still Of interest. The time may
come, if the reign of the devil is only
temporary, when there will again be a
Constitutional and legitimate Govern
ment in Tennessee.

BGEvET MAJOR-GENERAL sTCKLEs.

BeEVEr MAJOR-GEHERAL sTCKLEs.
At last this officer is dethroned, It
seems. That act of justice to the coun-
try and the Constitution should have
been done long ago. He has been allowed
to play the Demsgogue in power by far
too long. The National InteAigencer
said, a few days before his discrowning
Gen. SickIes declines to permit an exc
cutien for debt issuing in favor of q citi-
zen of another state, against a residentin
Wilmington, N. C., to be enforced; in
terferes with the United States marshal ;
and when instructed by his commander
in-chief not TO be guilty of this folly, still
persists in 1t, and thus stands before the
country in flat characterization to the
president Of the United States, and ia
open contempt Of the authority of the
federal courts. The worst friend he has
IN the world can wish him no worse po-
sitiOn for his future ill-name. His best
friend cannot help deploring his blind
folly and absurd arrogance. But one
course is open to the president, and it
should be promptly followed. The law
making autocrat, this supercilous insub-
ordinate, this CONTENDER Of courts should
be at once relieved from duty, tried by q
military court for contempt Of his supe-
riors, and ~arraigned before the civil tri-
bunals for ~obstructing the process Of the
courts. The case Is clear; the offence is
rank; the punishment should be sum-
mary,
General SIcKLEs is personally Of no
more Importance than thousands of men
not a thousandth part go notorious, and
is amply rewarded for all the service he
ever rendered the country, as Democrat
dOuble-dyed and General laundering at
Gettysburg, with the rank and command
of Colonel in the regular army. He is
chiefly valuable a. a monument, a living
example of the sort of men, who, parad-
ing as the motto of their central organ
the captivating phrase, 1.-THE world is
governed too much" were in favour Of
the largest liberty and most unalloyed
democracy, and yet were ready and
fitted to play the tyrant, when
ever invested with power. SueI
men as he, it was, that mis-
led the South to her ruin. Against such
utu dS lit IL was AlHt LuC GlGdN NDu-
sentative leaders IN the Senate so long
fought in vain, until they despaired OF
the republic. WEBSTER, CLAY, CRIT
TENDEN, MANGUM, PEARCE, BELL, BAY
ARD, EWING, CORwIN, CLAYTON,
BADGER, CoLLAMER, STEPHENS, RIvEs,
M|oREHEAD, and 8 host Of others, in and
out of Congress, were all at last beaten
down by such demagogues as SICKLEs
and JOHN CoCHRANE, and have died
despsiring of the Republic, or left the
field to these and the COvODEs and
GROWS, the AsHLEYs and BOUTwELLs
and SHELLABARGERs and the great
purchaser of votes, SIMON CAMERON.
Will the people ever learn not to trust,
but to despise those who fiatter them and
fawn upon them and not to disturst
those who frankly svow unpopular doc
trines, and endesvour to persuade them
to prefer republicanism and a govern
ment that restraints their passions and
mad caprices, to- tumultuOus and law

A RUPTURE


The following is from the August mum.
Der Of The Land We Lore, and was
brought to memory, says the editor, by
the name Of n ofthe presidents bonds
men
IA northern man married in our
native village a southern lady, and died
soon after the marriage. The widow
discovered, in looking over her husbands
papers, that he was indebted to an sbo-
~iitionist 1T the north in the sum Of $1,000.
She told her administrator that there
must not be q stain upon the memory OF
her husband, and proposed selling her
house and lot to pay the debt. He wrote
tothe creditor, stating the destitute con-
dition Of the widow, and her honorable
intentions. For an answer be received
a letter enclosing the note Of the deceased
husband as q present to the widow. The
name Of this generous creditor was Ger
rift Smith, OF New York. In a private

TRANSPORTATION OF FRESH MEATS.

A carload Of fresh beef and mutton
was to be seen at HObOken yesterday,
having Just arrived from the west.
Nj. Lyman OF this city, after years Of
experimenting and thinking, at last took
out a patent for a car which he claimed
could be used for transporting all kinds
Of fresh meats in warm weather without
their becoming tainted.
The Refrigerating Transportation COM
pany of Newark, n. j., lately manufsc-
tared a car under Mr.. Lyman's directions.
It was put to the first practical test in
bringing from Newark, Ohio, to this city
sixteen steers and twenty-five sheep.
They were dressed and hung up on hooks
in the car, and although four days on the
route, they were fresh and sound on their
arrival. The average temperature OF the
car to have meat kept well is about 45o.
The car resembles 8 common freight
car on the outside. The sides are double
with a space of three inches between the
outer and inner sides. This space is
filled with strips of cork, packed tightly
together. At each end, nea the top Of
h car. is a chamber filled with ice. A
LARGE fan or wind-wheel works in q ciTcu-
lar opening at the top of the car, forcing
a current of air down through the ice.
The cold air then rises up at the bottom
and ~circulates all through among the car
cases. As the ice melts, the water and
the impure air escape through the bot
tom of the ear.
Why cannot some enterprislng Mem
phian bring US fish from the Atlantic
and Lakes, and game, during the sum-
mer, by means Of this invention? Isno
one enterprising enough to undertake it?
