DEATH OF Ex-GovERSoRR ITNER.-The
Washington Chronicle of the els, inst
comments as follows:
The death of ex Governor Ritner, of
Pennsylvania, revives the recollection of
the great uprising, more than thirty
years ago, known as the Buckshot War,
preceded by the tremendous anti Masonic
agitation. Longer than the Know
Nothing phrenzy of 1854, which, during
its brief existence, revolutionized parties
and changed majoriIies, how utterly
dead are the acerbi;ies of these once
irresistible excitements. Like The fierce
conflicts between the Wings and the
Democra's-between the friends of Polk
and Cisy-they a-e fast passing out of
the realm of history into the mists of
tradition. Many Of the opposing leaders
are gone, and those who survive have
long since forgotten or forgiven their
prtjudices and hates. In another gen
Grafton the passions born of the reoel-
lion and of the end of the war will also
have passed away; and those who live
10 contrast the oblivion that will hide
and fo-get them with the aniInosities of
the contiic, itself, will wonder that men
of the same race could have ever been
sucn bitter foes. Let US take this phi
losophy To heart as we agonize over the
difficulties of the present and doubt the
signs of the future.

The relative value of gold 10 silver, IN the

half: which latter ratio. with but slight varra-
ton. II has maintained u the present day Narr-
Gus speculations have recently been made respect
ing the effect of the large relative increase IN the
production of gold over silver, and the subject Is
one Of great interest and Importance. The theo-
ries of the writers who have expressed opinions
on the subject are widely different, 81 far as the
effects of the increase upon the precious metals
are concerned. All agree, however, upon the
wide spread benefits that have resulted from the
large increase of the production of gold during
the past ten years.
SILvER.-Half Il century ago the annual pro-
duction of silver, 50 much as comes to use OF At
lantic nations, was estimated ut $50, 800, 900;
with no material deviation in the average I'm the
meantime. the annual yield is now S4t 900 ,OGO.
Silver is flowing To the East with great rapidity-
NJ. Chevalier, in his recent work, states the FOL
lowing facts: From the books of an English
navigation company it appears that i'll 1856 this
company carried direct from England to Asia
100000, 900, and in 1857 SS4 900 900 in silver.
In 1851 the quantity shipped through the same
channel was only $500 900. There was sent to
the East from the Mediterranean ports in 1886
SO. 200, 900 of silver, and in 1857 SIC, OOO, 900.
1t goes eastward through many other channels,
but the two items given above for 1857 amount
to more than double the annual supply comes to
our part of the world. The Chinese and all the
barbarous nations of Asia demand silver. In
the British Empire of India silver alone is the
legal tender; and a new market is now opened
for the same metal in Japan. How extensive a
market this last will prove to be cannot yet be
known; but the japanese will aid in draining
silver from Europe TO the extent of whatever gold
they now possess. 1t would seem as if the two
great sections of the globe-thc Atlantic nations
on the one part, and the Asiatics on the other
had agreed to divide the precious metals between
them, the Asiatics choosing to have the silver,
the Atlantic nations being content to retain the
gold; and the actual division is rapidly going on.
