Justify the conduct of the House of Rep
resentatives, in attempting to remove
man from an important office without
giving him hearing. and upon an emas-
culated statement or the facts. The
meth0dof removingby joint resolution
is merely q substitute for impeachment,
and in either case the Legislature acts
in judicial capacity, and according to
all precedent, both in England and in
the United States, the accused party has
the right to be present, to confront his
accusers face to face, and to offer evi
dence in his own behalf. Any other
course of practice would overturn the
fundamental principles of our Govern
ment. It would be monstrous and
shocking to our sensesof justice, il q
State officer could be turned out of his
Office by the malice Of his enemies, with
out ashearing, or without q trial, by q
joint resolution of an irresponsible Leg
islature. The House of Representatives,
by its indecent haste and disregard of
all forms of law, in the passage of this
resolution, Invested its action of all le..
gal or moral weight, and the conduct of
the movers Of the resolution in abandon
ing it, when they found the Senate had
determined to be governed by the law
of the land, shows that it wa conceived
in malice, and was not founded on truth
or justice.
We had occasion, some time since, to
review the evidence taken against Mr..
Meredith, and think we then showed very
conclusively that it was wholly untrust-
worthy and that it entirely failed to
show that our @sfellow-townsman was
guilty of the charges brought against
him. There have been no new facts
elected, and we have had no reason to
change our opinion in the matter.
Mr.. Meredith has lived in our midst
a long time, has taken prominent part
in our public affairs, and has ever main
tanned q high character for integrity in
our community. We regard the attempt
to remove him as a malicious prosecution,
which has not only failed to deprive him
Of his Office, but has wholly failed to tar
nish his good name, or lessen the conf
dence of our community in him.-[Wa-

readers to need any description, suffice
1t to say that the inhabitants of that

ings which will be an ornament to the
city for years to come. The Odd Eel
lows Building, Grace Church and the
Public. School Building all of which
we're erected in 1868, are structures
worthy the notice, and should be seen
by all who visit Richmond. The
state Of religious feeling in Richmond
seems 70 be on the ascendant, revivals
having taken place in nearly all the
churches, including the Orthodox
Friends, thing almost unknown in the
history of the Quakers. The whole
moral tone Of the city seems to have un-
dergone . change; whisky dealers are
getting discouraged and are giving up
the business. Temperance is thriving,
and IN the place Of eaths and vulgar
jests which used to greet the ear Of .
still evening, we now hear hymns of
praise raising from All paris OF the pop
uious city, through the still air of an
April evening. The change is indeed
noticeable. Visiting Grace Church on
the evening Of the 26th of April and
80 evenings since the commencement of
the revival, / was astonished to see
among the two hundred converts, which
number was told had been added to

The SCARCITY OF hLeNEY.-There is
and must be general scarcity Of cur
rency throughout the country, because
that article is so superabundant. This
statement is doubtless o paradox to the
unrefecting nevertheless nothing is
more certain. The history Of this coun-
try for the last fifty years shows that
money has always been most scarce, and
the rates of interest. most advanced,
when there was the largest absolute
amount in circulation. The reason for
this is obvious. AS currency is ex>
banded, speculation is excited, prices
are greatly raised, and it takes a much
larger amount of money 10 transfer an
equal amount Of merchandise, while the
operations of those who are engaged in
influencing and controlling the immense
amount of transferable property of all
kinds held for speculative purposes abb
sorb all the surplus, and leave the mon
ey market in stringent condition.
Money, we must recollect, is scarce
not in proportion to its actual quantity,
but to the relative demand for it. When,
therefore, in addition to the natural
wants of trade, the speculative interest
comes into market, the extraordinary
demand is certain to create pressure
so that, practically, it has always been
true, as it ia now true, that an expanded
currency will be most scarce when it is
most abundant; that collections will be
most unsatisfactory when the circulation
is largest; and that the rates of inter
est will be highest when the loans of the
banks are most extended. ssz
This important lesson the people must
learn !; and if they would have money
plenty and cheap, they must insist that
the amount shall be reduced to its nat
ural limit-to that point where it is at
par with specie. They cannot have an
easy and reliable money market until
that which is called money is truly SO
and we incur no risk in predicting that
q satisfactory state of trade will not ar
rive until the currency Of the nation is
equivalent in value to the currency. of
commerce.
In looking forward for the remainder
of the current year, we do not anticipate
a general panic or breaking down of the
national industry, because the currency
is now fixed quantity, and cannot be.
las in the case Of mixed currency it
must beg suddenly Withdrawn from cir
culation whenever there is a pressure on
the banks for the redemption of their
notes; but we do expect that trade,
manufacturing, and business generally
will be depressed, that profits will be
small, expenses large, rents and rates of
interest high, and losses from delinquent
debtors heavy; while in the large cen
tres of trade, especially in the largest,
the spasms' of the money market will
be frequent and acknowledgements

A Personal Matter.

The Legislature has adjourned with
out taking formal action in Mr.. Mere
dith's case A resolution passed the
House to remove him from his position
IS Prison Director, and many Of our
readers may suppose that he has been re-
moved. This is mistake, as the reso
luton could have no effect until acted
on by the Senate. It is due to Mr.. Mer-
edith that this matter should be explain
ed to his friends. wv
During the regular session of the Leg
islature, Q select committee of five mem>
bers investigated certain charges bro't
by Col. Merriwether, late Warden Of the
Southern Prison, against Meredith and
Chez, two of the Directors. This COM
mittee made . report to both Houses
which was never acted upon, but the ev-
idence taken was ordered to be printed.
The printing of the evidence was done
under the supervision Of the Committee,
and some Of the material portions Of the
evidence for the defence was suppressed.
Upon this partial version of the evi.
dence being printed, resolution was
introduced in the House to remove Mr..
Meredith, Mr.. Chez having vacated his
position by accepting another Office. Il +.
No notice was given to Mr.. Meredith,
nor was any opportunity afforded him
to be heard in his defense, either in per.
son or by counsel, but in the House took
up the resolution in his absence, and
passed 1t under the pressure Of the pres
vious question, which cut of debate and
prevented the friends Of Mr.. Meredith,
on the floor Of the House, from speaking
in his behalf, or exposing the conduct
Of the committee.
When the resolution went to the Sen.
ate, several Senators arose in their
places, Condemned the action Of the
House, and demanded that Mr.. Mere
dith should have notice and fair trial
by the Senate, and an opportunity to be
heard in his defence. This seeming to
be the feeling Of the Senate, the parties
interested IN prosecuting Mr.. Meredith
abandoned the matter and it was heard
Of no more.
We presume no ono will attempt to

Emigrants.

Count Bismarck and Protection 70 Gcrman
Emigrants.
1t appears that the convention recently
made between Prussia and the United
States, and having for its object the
better protection of German emigrants on
shipbOard, has so far been failure. So, at
least, Count Bismarck stated in the Prussian
Diet on Wednesday. The principal difficulty,
it seems, has been In establishing an inter-
national tribunal for the adjudication OF the
cases OF complaint arising under the treaty.
According to the original plan such cases we're
to be submitted to a body of four commission
ers, two of whom were to be appointed by the
United States and two by Prussia. What steps
have been taken to carry out the original plan
we know not. It does not seem to US that
there should be any insuperable difficulty In
coming to mutual understanding as to the
character and composition of tribunal whose
Judgment should be final. Considering the
swelling tide of immigration which is rolling to-
wards these shores from North Germany it is
manifestly the duty of both governments to give
the matter their serious consideration. Such
tribunal is rendered all the more necessity
by the atrocities recently perpetrated in emf
grant vessels on the high seas. In these days
the injured emigrant should know where to
seek redress, and should be able to obtain it
promptly.

animals mania is taking a curious turn.
Day before yesterday pigeon shooting

There is limit beyond which the weak

them to exercise the peculiar bent of their

simply innocent amusement At the present
pace they will soon prevent the killing OF

GOVERNMENT SALES OF GoLD.-Secretary
Boutwell, yesterday took what may be termed
the first step in his career as fiduciary agent
Of the government. He sold million dollars
Of gold and ran the price up about three
quarters Of one per cent. True, it might have
gone higher had he not sold, but we have the
absolute fact nevertheless that it did go up.
1t is rather bad beginning for his admins
tration. He begins to sell gold just as the
May interest, some twenty millions, is coming
out ofthe Treasury. He ought to have sold
it long ago, when the importing merchants
were at the mercy of the gold "bulls" and
had to pay interest at the rate of quarter
per cent per day. He sells only million
now and is represented to be anxious not to
disturb the money market by selling larger
amount, which would withdraw so much cur
rency. Instead of experimenting in this way
he should at once put in operation the pro-
visions of the Sinking Fund law or lend the
surplus gold to the merchants In either case
he would effect clear saving to the country
of six millions per annum.

EDMoYDs ON MrMLEE.-Judge Edmonds is
clearly an expert in regard to spirits, and his
testimony, so far as it goes, is good evidence
against Mumler. He says that he can see
spirits. His eyes are educated TO it. He
saw the spirit Of Judge Talmadge, and even
saw through 1t, though this seeing through
judges is no easy matter. Now, his was the
only evidence in regard TO spirits that was
clearly Affirmative on this trial, and il proves
that the spirits did not appear for Numbers
pictures, and therefore that they were not
taken by spiritual aid Judge Edmonds posi-
lively swore that he can see spirits that he
did not see any when in Numbers gallery to
have his picture taken, and yet when the
pictures we're produced there were the pictures
of the spirits, az Mumler makes them. Num-
ler's counsel will no doubt move to exclude
his testimony as that Of man who has illu-
sions.

Dome morslization Of tho Republican Press.
Something positive is before the public in
regard to corruption in the newspaper press,
and the public will no doubt note particularly
the quarter in which the corruption IL seen to
exist. For thirty years the HERALD has
been pointed at as the great sinner, and the
HERALD establishment as the centre OF all
corruption that could be covered by the word
blackmail. Professional moralists, guilty of
every crime denounced in the decalogue,
covered their doings for while by the very
uncton of their onset against us, making us
the target of diatribes that assumed the pro-
portions of a moral war. The point of tho
animus was always the same. Rogues po-
ltical rogucs social rogues clerical, rogues
musical and theatrical, rogues financial,
rogucs, in short, of every possible stripe and
style, finding they could not use us, finding
that we always bore testimony to the public,
against their schemes, sought to invalidate
that testimony by abusing us. They did asi
the lawyers do when the testimony of a witness
is particularly inconvenient. They try to-
prove that he is not worthy of credit. Thi6l
was the point Of clarnor against the HERALp.
