Gold does not sympathlze materially with the
chronic rumOrs of the Gold Gamblers that Mr..
Boutwell, is still some way, some how, some
time, to be frightened out of his policy. The
million sold yesterday by the Govern
ment brought a premium of only 80, and
the price is not likely to be adj
vanced hereafter by the semi-official official
adyices from Washington. this morning, to the
effect that all rumors of disposition to aban-
don or modify the plan of selling gold and
buying Government bonds for sinking fund
are utterly and Indignantly without founda-
ton.

The murder of u. S. Sub-Treasurer at
Santa FG, and the robbery of the Sub-Treas-
ury of from 100000 to $4,000 are crimes
likely to be repeated if the boarding of money
by the Government be not wholly abandoned
Whenever it is known that large sum of
money is thus boarded, every burglar every

enforcement of the true policy-Use the money

Charles Lamb once laughingly asserted of n
friend that he did not know how to SPELL and
that he wrote n blind hand TO cover the de-
iciency. Ii is lamentably certain that orthogra-
ply is an accomplishment which many worthy
people besides Charles Yelowplush and Arte-
mus Ward fail to acquire. Mr.. Forster re-
marked, few weeks since, in the House of
Commons, that great many men in the Com
pettiye Examinations were rejected for defec-
tive spelling; and Dr. Gull says that nearly
half of the medical students fail in this respect
The London Spectator recently observed that
it has an occasional contributor, "a man whose
education had been of II singularly perfect
"kind, a true scholar in his way, who never
sends in n contribution without half dozen
chronological errors; and there are double
"frsts who would rather trust themselves in
Greek than English without n pocket die
"tionary." The Spectator compliments printers
upon the careful distrust with which they
regard everybOdy's Ms.
One reason, We suppose, for this, is that all
spelling is purely artificial, and has no proper
relation to pronunciation whatever, but, more
properly, to etymol0gies. Pronunciation is
matter of failure. and continually changing.
A well-bred man who to-day should pronounce
according to Sheridan or Walker, would be
simply laughed at. 1t seems to us that rem
edy for the evil of which The Spectator COM
plains would be found-1. In impressing upon
the mind of the pupil, making him thoroughly
comprehend that word ia not necessarily
spelled as ii is pronounced 2. In the young,
as an exercise of the writing and spelling les

advanced, some elementary knowledge of ETY.

would be great advantage if lexicoG raphers
could agree in their spelling. The phonogSph-
ers say, "Spell as we do" Thank you, geC-
tlemen we had rather not.

Claiborne Hardy is the name of the gentleman
who made the stupid speech against the Irish

that the bill should be opposed because it was a

do it. But we certainly would concede nothing

Resnonse bu The Tribune.


The art of journalism being yet, apparently
in a rrdimental stage in North Carolina, we
feel obliged to explain to our Raleigh cotem-
porary that the The TRIBUNE has made no ut
tack on North Carolina, nor even on her Leg
islature; though our judgment decidedly is
that for any State to incur debts to build OF
extend Railroads when her bonds sell so low
ms do those of North Carolina, is unwise and
improvdent She should first TeGstablish her
dishonored credit before mourning any new
obligations. If the best ZEN of North Car
DINA think otherwise, they must allow us to
L.:ci.1 our own opinion.
Mr.. Helper wrote his exhaustive expose OF
the resources and attractions of North Carolina
at our suggestion. We did not ask him to set
forth what zoe thought of the matter but
what he thought; aud we printed his letter as
his, as his signature plainly authenticated
Whoever read that letter gave to those
opinions precisely such weight as they consid-
cred his opinions entitled to-neither less nor
more. They neither sought nor obtained our
Endorsement We are very often interested IN
knowing what is thought by persons
who differ widely from our conceptions
interested in them because they are
projected from standpoint opposite to
ours We were quite aware that Mr..
Helper was at odds with the State Admin
istration of North Carolina-as he more point
edly is with ouselves-with regard to Equal
Rights for All Men and we made due allow
ance for that circumstance in reading his letter.
We presume others capable of exercising equal
discrimination. If, now, the Republican rulers
of North Carolina cannot stand such criticism
as Mr. Helpers, but must have it suppressed,
we are sorry for them. But we know that
they can, and thrive upon it. SO let every one
say his say, and let those who are displeased
reply, as The Standard does above. We only
add that we are happy to hear that the legis-
lators of North Carolina set an example which
those of New-York might well follow. That
is moderate, safe praise, which we consider
quite within the truth.

NORTH CAROLINA.

The Raleigh Standard protests against GER
tain imputatiOns on the recent legislation OF
that State conveyed in full exhibit in our
columns of the resources and attractions of
North Carolina by Mr.. H. X. Helper, saying:
THAT THE TRIBUNE should publish such article has
been matter Of great surprise TO many We suppose
Helper in this state has been deceived by his exagge
rated accounts OF his Importance and bis professed
Republication IL may DC OF service 10 IHE IRIBUAE
dence respect Of the Republican party OF this
state: they having done all In their power to
Carolina, It deserves such epithets applied TO
1t by Mr. Helper and his description Is simply false He
says our Legislature unfortunately composed In
great part OF ignorant and yena negroes on the one
hand, and of ierate ard mercenary White men on the
other The number Of cOlOred men in the Legislature Is
eighteen, OF which number three arc in the Senate ana
fifteen in the House Of Representatives. The whole mum
Der OF members is hundred and seventy That the
coored members are Ignorant ana Yehal, we most Gun
phaticay deny. IN point OF Legislative honesty ney are
unimpeachable, and set example which the New.1Ok
Legislature hight follow to tine great benefit OF that state
That they all ignorant - also untrue, although Oh
course some wholly unettered. But there are men
among them who are far superior In learning ana Iaent
to Mr. Helper himself and who could beat him IN argu-
and sound logic with an ease that might somewhat
astonlsh him. That the Whites are erate ana mel
cenary is also untrue There are gentlemen ID the NOr
Carolina Legislature who would do honor 20 any legls
tive body m the land and whose regulations are as unsu
lied snow. That the action OF the body mas Deeh
marked by glaring ncompeency and corruption Is aso
false. The General Assembly has had TO contend WIN
many and great difficulties. wholly unknown TO any pre-
ceding Legislature and its course has been marked by
wisdom and moderation. The extensive ara VOteu dor

Helper evncing glaring incompetence and c9ITup-
On Yet the best Of the state have slglned their
approval OF these measures and their conviction that the
State will be greatly benefited by them. We would ad-
wise THE TRIBUNE TO- in the future accept with many
allowances such OF Mr Helpers statements as bear upon
political subjects for he has never been friendly 10 the
present State Administration, tho Republicans or
North Carolina friendly to him We hope THE TRIBUNE
will correct It's statements. that 10 MISREPRESENTATION OF

No MAN OR SET or MEN ever really ad.
yanced an interest or elevated a cause In the
estimation Of a thinking community by an
indulgence in unnecessary abusive and vitu-
perativo language; and If the organization
which has taken to itself the name of "Orig-
inal Grant Men" desires the respect and
confidence of this community, 1t must pur-
sue a course the opposite Of that selected on
Friday evening last. As faithful chronicles
of passing events, We gave report of the
meeting referred to, but we must rcpudlate
the language used on the occasion. The
public mayjudgc of the manner In which it
was conducted, when we say that we struck
out the most offensive portions.
The assaults upon Mayor Bowen, Mr.. Cook,
Mr.. Boswell, and others, by resolution and
by speech, were utterly uucalled for and I'M
Iustidable. The Mayor and those named
with him, did not require the defence of the
gentlemen who resisted the assaults upon
them. Their Republican record is well known
and fully established, and 1t is now too late
in the day to attempt to make capital out of
an assertion thus far disprovcd, that either
Of them were opposed to General Grant, or
that they attempted to prevent his nomlna =
ton. We repeat that the "orlginal Grant
men" are building upon a sandy foundation,
II they think they can accomplish anything
by tn Is course Of proceeding.

upon this subject Of loaning the credit of the
cities, or of furnishing aid by them In this
