ALL the local elections have exhibited great Democratic
gains sufficient TO insure the State for tho Democracy

delegates to the Convention declared that thOre

Comments by the Tribune.
We have given The Worlds bulletin rerbdtim,
in order that our readers may see how bad the
case really is. OhiO-which has gone heavily
Republican at every Presidential and every
Governors Election since there was a Repub-
lican party, and which, even last Fall, elected
her Republican Governor by 1888 majority--is
put down rs sure for Seymour and Blair"
Why not Vermont also7
Missouri gave Lincoln 1876 votes to 81, G2G
for Mcclellan, and at her last election 1SG6) gave
62,1S7 Republican to 4O,95S Democrat. We are
quite aware that Prices army has returned TO
the State. and is solid for Seymour and Blair;
but not man of it can lawfully vote, and the
Republicans hold the Registries. Missouri may
not give Grant quite so large a majority as
Massachusetts, will; but she can hardly fail to
give him 10000.
Kansas never yet failed to 90 largely Repub-
lican since the Missouri Border Ruflians stop
ped voting the Cincinnati Directory at her
polls; and at her last Governors election 1880
thus proclaimed her conviction:
Crawford, Rep 1880 Mcdowell, Dem. s15l.
Republican majority. ,2l9
Her vote for Congress was just about the
same. She will this Fall poll $4,000 votes,
whereof Grant and Colfax will have more than
10000 majority. We do not guess this we in
fer it from her whole past history.
Wisconsin never yet gave an anti-Republican
majority since the Republican party was formed
never chose an antRepublcan Governor, dele
cation to Congress or Legislature, and never
meant to choose an anti-Republican U. S. Sen
atOr, though she was badly sold in the re-

morally upwise. not dishonest; but 1t Is re-
markoble circumstance that the person VINO
has nroGted by this singular way Oh dolhg
business is his particular personal friend
Another matter connected with these vessels
is now attracting good deal "a "''0ii'ion'
They were to be sold by Swift a. 20, as we
have already said to the Peruvian Govern
ment. and Peru is nominally or actually al war
with Spain. To allow our citizens 10 FURNISH
vessels or munitions of war TO elther OF the
belligerents would be gross lniractlon OIL our
international OblgatiOns-would DC the very
sop,o offense which we make the basis OF our
claims AGAINST Great Britain on account OF the
AIobam, depredations. The Committee OF the
House of Representatives to whom the circuin-
stances of the sale were referred for investl-
gationI urge, therefore, that the Executive shall
take stringent measures to prevent the deliv-
cry of the vessels to Peru, either on the hgh
seas or i'm our own ports. We learn that a
number of petitions have been presented 10
Congress PRAYING that there may DO no inter
ference, on the ground that hostilities between
the two countries have been for some time
suspended, and that the war is virtually over,
though there has been no formal treaty OF
peace But we trust the Government Will DO
its duty strictly In this matter OF neutrality
it cannot afford to go the least bit astray' we
purpose exacting from Great Britain strict
accountability to international law in our own
case, and we can hardly be too scrupulous IN
our behavior to others. Spain and Peru are
still belligerents in the eye of the law, and at
any moment their hoStilities may be resumed
i'm fact We arc the last people on earth WHO
ought TO help either the one or the other

EMr. Sherman's Funding bill consumed most
of the time of the Senate yesterday A debate
took place on the question of the payment OF
the bonds in gold or greenbacks. Messrs. Fes-
sender, Cattell, Howard, Cameron, and Conness
took the position that they were payable IN the
former, and Messrs. Henderson, Morton, and
Sherman in the latter. Without coming to q
vote on the bill the Senate adjourned. The
House passed the bill disseminating the Freed
mems Bureau after January I, 1862 Nathaniel
Boyden and Oliver S. DOckerey were sworn In
as members from North Carolina. Mr. Ashley
of Nevada, at the instance of Mr.. Butler, made
an effort 70 introduce bill to tax the United
States bonds but he was defeated. The new
Tariff bill was taken up and debated to the
hour of adjournment.

SPECIE CURRENCY IN CALIFORNIA.

The letter of our correspondent relative to
the industrial condition of California, elsewhere
published, shows that in that State, which boasts
a specie currency only the characteristic effects
of an exclusive specie currency prevail, viz {:
long credits, with their attendant uncertainty
stagnation, high profits, and advantages to the
rich and disadvantages to the poor. Long credits
are substitutes for the voluntary manufacture by
the people of paper currency or medium of ex-
change of their own, consisting of notes and
bank accounts, caused by the absence of any
paper currency universally acceptable with
which they can more rapidly discharge their
obligations.
A specie currency Requires the investment in
the mere medium of exchange, or implement of
transferring property, of an amount of capital
and labor in the form of gold coin equal in
value to the property transferred. To buy a
dollars worth of corn, the purchaser must
have a dollars worth of gold to pay for it,
which has cost as much to obtain as the corn
cost to produce. Under a paper currency, the
same corn is sold or exchanged for CLOTH or
coal or whatever the farmer may need, by the
temporary use of an implement which has not
cost one per cent. of the value exchanged. The
economy of the paper currency over the gold,
as an implement of exchange, is 90 per cent. In
other words, by the use of the paper currency,
90 per cent of the capital which would other
wise have to be invested in money, /. e., in the
implement for buying and selling, is saved to
be invested in other means of production. IF,
for instance, the business of California requires
a currency of Sl0,OOO,OOO or about $50 per
capita, to enable all her exchanges to DO made

THE PROSPECT.

Too great cOnfdon c in the success of GRANT
and COLFAx we especially deprecate That
they will be elected we do most heartily be-
lieve; that they must be elected, whether the
proper effort be made or not, we do not be-
leve, and we would warn every friend of our
cause and its representatives against the delu-
sion. If we should generally conclude that we
cannot be beaten, and thereupOn cOniine our
exertons to shouting over our anticipated VIC
tory, we shall awake, when too late, TO find
o..u1olvas hndlJ, hnafnn
What we do believe is this: II ia at least
twice as easy to elect Grant and Colfax as it
would be to elect Seymour and Blair. If the
efforts put forth on either hand shall be equal,
we believe the Chicago nominees will receive
fully twO-third5 of the Electoral Votes cast.
And such il the result that we confidently eX-
pect to work for and secure.
Tie World attempts to show a good front
for its candidates as follows:
STATES FOR SEYMOUR AND BLAIR.
In canvassing the question with the Delegates TO the
Convention since the nomination made, the fol-
lowing States are put down sure for Seymour and

election of James r. DOolittle, now Chairman
of the Democratic Congress Committee Last
Fall, when every whittier went against us, she
reelected her Republican Governor (Fairchlld)
by 4,7Gi majority, and went Republican on
every ticket this Spring she chose Republican
Judges on light vote by some 6,OOo majority
The highest vote she ever cast was III looo'
when Lincoln had 2O,202 majority III an aggre-
gate of 152,0lS. We believe she will this fall
poll about 100000 votes, and that Grant and
Cofax will have over 10000 majority. II Doc
little were on the other ticket, Wisconsin
would give over $4,000 majority against HIM
We will not further pursue this analysis but
simply state summarly our own convictions: .
The only States that we consider morally
certain to vote for Seymour and Blair are Ken
lucky Maryland and Delaware; and even
Delaware night be carried for Grant II his
friends were as active and jealous as they
should be. Kentucky will give the Republican
ticket over Sixty Thousand votes; but, as her
Rebels all vote, while every colorcd man-in-
Guiding even those who fought to put down
the Rebellon-s DISTINGUISHED, we do not ex-
pect to carry her. Were either the Rebels dis
franchised or the Blacks cnfranchsed, she
WOulU NOIt IOI UIdHJJ anu oO WIN
We shall not carry all the remaining States;
but we shall zealously contest them oil, and
hope to carry at least three-fourths OF their
Electoral Votes. A good many of them are
beyond doubt. Vermont will give Grant about
three to one for Seymour; Massachusetts, at
least two to one; Tennessee at least as much {;
and we shall be disappointed if Maine ONO
Illinois, Missouri Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, and
Michigan, do not each give Grant more than
10000 majority. We hope to give good major
tiles for Grant in many other States; but
enough.
Finaly-thOugh bets prove nothing but the
confidence of the parties-we happen to know
that Republican from another State, who
was here when Seymour was nominated, Lett
$4,000 at the st. Nicholas to be invested on
the election of Grant and Colfax. if any Sey-
mourite should have equal faith in the success
of his ticket. We have not yet heard OF any
one going for that money.

The friends of Grant and Colfax, and of our
Republican State Ticket, in Brooklyn, hold
their Ratification meeting this evening. We
trust that those who are for Grant in earnest
will be on hand There are many who will
float with the current when its set is unmls-
taxable who remain needless and Indifferent
till then; and we shall have thousands shouting
for Grant next Fall who say nothing and care
nothing at present. Only the men who are
right and earnest all the time are expected to
attend this meeting; but they will be numbered
by thousands. Let us have an mixing OF what
Brooklyn means, and how intently she means
it, in the meeting tonight

One of the rumors of the Capital yesterday
was to the effect that party of politicians,
dissatisfied with the New-York nominations,
had called upon Chief Justice Chase, and asked
him to be candidate for the Presidency, on
the platform of principles contained IN his
letter to Mr.. Cisco, and THAI the Chief Justice
said he was in the hands of his friends. A
promise was held out that HOratiO Seymour
would decline in his favor.
