TIE MYSTERY OF YERKES.

Are Cameron, Geary, Hartranft & Co. also
fools was the question everywhere asked
yesterday Were they so blind as not to see
that any exculpatory statement made by Yerkes
after he was let out of prison by the persons
whom he had previously inculpated, would be
regarded as the bride paid for his pardon, and
would be discredted
Whoever takes them for fools is himself
green. Well did they know the pardon would
damage them with the people. They had to
pardon him. They trembled at the alternative
Yerkes, kept in prison, would hurt them moro
than Yerkes out of prison-and they yerked
him out in day.
They knew his statements-made on the
heels of his pardon-would not be believed.
They had no idea that they would. But they
knew Just as well that his statements in prison
,couM be believed, and those must be sup
pressed. The pardon suppressed them. They
paid high price-a pardon, with loss of
10000 votes-for that suppression. 1t appeared
to them the least of the evils threatening
them. Yerkes's disclosures-if kept in prison
would cost them more than 10000 votes, and
would get them in, to keep Yerkes company.
They paid the price. Think you they are fools

cuffs from the wrists of fclon.
Men Of Pennsyyania the outrage of last
week puts an added duty upon you. II Is no
longer enough merely TO defeat Hartranft.
His defeat must be exemplary. Every vote
cast for him now is stain on the fame Of
the Commonwealth.

Gov. John NJ. Palmer has 6aken the stump
in Indiana, and the brief summary OF his
speech at indianapolis, printed herewith, shows
how effectively. The stOut-hearted and loyal
Republican Governor has the highest right to
speak authoritatively of the rights, privileges,
and duties of Republicanism he is of the
original stamp, and rejoices to defend his
position in national politics to-day. As one
who has resisted the encroachments Of Execu-
tive power in bis own State, he can wisely
counsel those who see with alarm the unprece-
dented growth of that power His speech is
o bugle blast, worth a ream of MortOn's
specious sophishies.

Letters from friends in Columbus express
the fear that some of the Liberal Republicans
are tempted to support the Grant State ticket
in October. We appeal to our friends there, and
in the three October States, not to give aid and
comfort in this way at the most critical moment
to the enemy they are anxious to defeat. One vote
for the Grant State ticket il October is worth
five votes for Grant in November. Every vote
which you cast against the Liberal ticket now,
whether in Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Indiana,
will do us more harm than you can do good
in November if you secured five for Greeley
in its stead. In each of the States the Liberal
ticket is thoroughly unexceptionable. In Penn
sylvania and Indiana, where a Governor is to
be elected, the candidate lifts the canvass tar
above the plane of ordinary politics to the
noblest conception of pure Reform. We i'm
plore every Liberal Republican to give it his
aid in the most effective way, and thus pour
in his shot upon the enemy's wagering line at
the critical spot.

We have word for the gang Of thousand
repeaters organized under their leader, James
,OBrien, for work in Philadelphia on the 9Th.
These men expect TO leave on the evenings OF
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
While on their way let them consider the
PENNSYLVANIA statute which provides the
punishment of three years and six months
solitary confinement in the States prison for
the oflense they purpose committing. We
have only to give them further notice that
they arc amply watched by the entire police
and detective force, and that they will not be
cheated out of single month or week or
day Of the imprisonment promised.

to sundry European Governments, as if they
had their settlement in charge.

For an accurate measure of the mingled dis
gust and horror which the action of the Grant
Republicans of Pennsylvania in pressing their
PeniteAtiary into the service has inspired the
men least disposed to oppose the Grant side,
see the manly indignation with which the
Stats Zeitung denounces the Grant conspiracy,
and declares that, if the people of Pennsylva-
MIA do not repudiate the Cameron Hartranft
ring, il should despair of the American people,
and that if Grant can be found to hare per
sonally mixed in the matter at all, the people
will throw Grant and Hartranft overheard
together.

More light is shed on the infamous Yerkes-
Hartranft business in the speeches of ex-GOv.
Curtin and the Hon. Alex. Mcclure, portions
of which we print to-day. Nothing can be
clearer than the circumstantial narrative of
the guilt of the Hartranft Ring, which is
traced by Mr.. Mcclure. New facts combined
with others already notorious place the ne
farious crimes of these great rascals in bold
relief. We reiterate that no candid and intel
rgent man can scan the leading features of
this shameful affair and not conclude that the
members of the Ring who are comprising the
election of Hartranft are guilty of the most
stupendous crimes. This vast structure of
fraud and vilainy is partly exposed by the
data already collected what remains concealed
has been temporarily covered by hurTying
Yerkes out of Jail before he had chance to
tell all he knew. Read the story of Pennsyl-
vanias shame, fellOw-cOuntrymen; let it be
scanned in connection with the shameful his
tory of Southern misrule, as again told by
Gov. Curtin and then decide if this rotten
fabric is to be longer allowed to cumber the
earth.

Mr.. OHendorfer says that if Grant had any
thing to do with the pardon of Yerkes, the
people will throw Grant and Hartranft over
board together. The Ecening Post thinks it
understands the Germans of New-York City
better than Mr.. Ottendorfer, and says that
nearly all Of them are going for Grant.

A most wonderful pathological controversy To-
Gently occurred in Wales. Between Mr.. Rosser and
Mr.. Morgan Evans arose discussion as TO the true
way of spelling the name of the village Of
Llyyggfwwdvaur Mr. Morgan Evans for
rendering the eleventh letter 3D. while Mr.. Res
ser contended that it should be "v." so that tho
word would be properly spelled Llyygg1wwvvaur!
As Mr. Rosser could MT bring Mr.. Evans to his way
of thinking by fair words the peppery gentleman
procured some hot lime from an adjoining building
and rubbed it into Mr. Morgan Eyanss eyes-by
way of opening them we suppose. Whether when
no RECEIVERS the use of his ocular organs.

"Llyyggfwwvyaur" remains to be seen but at

After the release Of the Philadelphia convict
from the Pennsylvania Penitentiary, that he
might write campaign document for Hart
ranft, the next most amazing thing IN the
campaign is the fact that The Nelo- York Times
does not defend it. When deed has been
done SO shameful and audacious that even

indeed.

We believe Secretary Delano is still on the
stump somewhere in the West. Wont his
audiences ask him about that whisky trans
action, the details of which were pub
lisbed in The TRIBUNE of Saturday. If
there were particle of shame among the cor

The unwelcome report that Senator Sum-
ner's health would forbid his acceptance of
the Massachusetts, nomination for Governor
has ripened into certainty. His formal de-
claration to that effect, coupled with warm
expressions of devotion to the Liberal cause,
has been received by the Joint Committees.
If any further explanation were needed
of the physical and mental condition
which has made the Senator's step
imperative, it will be found in the
letter of our correspondent in London, who
gives forcible picture of the case as seen
from a newer point of view. But, whatever
NAV be the result of Mr.. Summers declining
the nomination, the moral victory already
secured cannot be lost. 1t was a
great thing that in his nomination
men of all political parties amicably
fused for the sake of Reconciliation and Re-
form The Democrats of Massachusetts,, who
are probably among the most unforgettng OF
the Boubons, were glad and ready to unite
with Old-line Republicans in the support of
Mr.. Sumner. If any caviler wants any stronger
proof than this of the sincerity with which the
Democracy Of the country have taken their gen.
uine new departure, we do not know where he
cal, End il. Though he may not consent to be
Governor Of Massachusetts,, Charles Sumner
has had the unanimous and enthusiastic SUI
fragcs Of the Democrats Of his native state LII

A famous criminal case, that of Mrs. Fair,
has Just come to an end in San Francisco, the
prisoner being acquitted. There was never
any attempt to deny that Mrs. Fair killed
Col. Crittenden the deed was committed in
broad daylight, while the murdered man was
sitting by the side of his wife and daughter.
But it was set up in extenuatlon OF the otfense
that the woman was well-nigh maddened by
the determination Of Crittenden to cast her
off. and live thereafter with his wife. The
"advanced women" also espOused the cause
of Mrs. Fair, as she claimed that Crittenden
was her true affinity" and therefore more
legitimately her spouse than of the lady who
was recognized as his wife by the laws of the
State. This was the second trial of the woman,
and a Jury was, of course, procured with
much difficulty; the reporter at San Fran
cisco says the jurymen were necessarily unin-
telligent, which, under the circumstances, may
be fair inference. Finally, the law under
which Mrs Fair was tried provided the death
penalty in case of conviction. 1t has been
said that Californians are too gallant to hang
a woman. Evidently they would not begin
with Mrs. Fair.

tendant facts, the folly of resumption Of
specie payments, which is nothing better
than making a superior instrument of ex-
change slavishly dependent upon its infe-
rior, becomes painfully conspicuous. The
day such policy, antagonized by multi
tudinous experience shall be reinaugurated,
will prove the beginning of financial com
plications and dangers unnumbered In
stead of attempting to return to curren-
cy system which has passed its meridian in
all highly civilized communities, and is
suited only TO the condition Of those emery
ing from state of semi barbarism, every
effort should be bent to the task Of bring
ing nearer to perfection the currency sys-
TEN we now possess.
For ten years in the United States, gold
and silver coins have been demonetiZed in
all their relations TO the circulating note
Unfortunately. they have been money with
in separate and independent sphere of
operations-in the collection ofcustoms du-
ties, and in the payment of accrued interest
upon the public debt To this exceptional
monetary function Of specie in our system
Ut internal exchanges, may be traced some
of the malign influences which have been
felt by our paper currency. But, in pro-
vlding for the financial eXigencies SO sud
denly Precipitated upon the country by the
war Of secession, it was hardly to be ex-
pected that the government should Origi-
nate scheme free from defects That now
in vogue WAS not deliberately planned from
the hrst as n comprehensive whole, but has
been the outgrowth of temporary circum-
stances and needr, arising in no expected
order. Our system of currencies is the re-
suit Of series Of expedients. 1t would
not been made conformable to gold basis
1t would have been better had the National
Banks not been required to resume specie
payments whenever the government did.
1t would have been better had banking
capital not been 50 inequltably distributed.
1t would have been better had the volume
of the circulating medium not been limited
to an invariable quantity, 50 that it is for
hidden 10y the very Law Of its existence to
accommodate itself to the changing proper
tiOns of commerce 1t would have been
better had there not been any enforced
contraction of the currency under Secreta-
ry Mccullough. So we might go on to
enumerate many more errors, both Of com
mission and omission. Some of those
stated can yet be cured by judicious legis-
lation others are beyond recall or remedy.
But most assuredly no improvement can be
expected from compulsorily yoking the
readily transferable circulating note to the
slow-moving metals-by making the supe-
rior instrument of exchange the vassal of
the inferior one-in short, by going back to
specie payment.
