No APoLoeY is needed for devotin.

No APoLoeY is needed for deyoting
so much of the space in our columns
this week to the account of the great
Liberal Republican Mass Meeting held
at Cooper Institute, in New York, to
the exclusion of our usual variety.
The near approacho of the Cincinnati
Convention, which takes place on the
1st of May, renders these proceedings
of interest to all. This. meeting gives
evidence that the Liberal movement
has more strength both as to numbers,
ability, and influence that has gener-
ally been conceded to il. Among
those who participated in it are some
of the ablest and most influential men
of the Empire City; men who have
been recognized for years as standing
in the front ranks of the Republican
organization, but who are now SO hear
tiiy disgusted with 'corruptions that
they are determined 10 sever their con-
nection with it. The speech of Sena-
tor Trurnbull is a bold and manly ut
terance against the, corrupt practices
of the present administration aud the
ceutralizing tendency of the military
despets who now rule the country,
and the wholesome truths he utters
viii find ready and hearty response
from every liberal-minded man
throughout the land. We commend
The speech to the CAREFUL and candid
attention of our readers of all parties.

pledged for their redemption of cur
rent greenbacks, and buying up these
certificates Of deposit (bonds) by the
payment of Ito and 115 greenbacks
deposited and this after having paid
gold interest for five to seven years.
The Times, speaking for the Ad-
ministration, says this policy had been
adopted to establish. the national cred
it.
Suppose the law had been faithfully
carried out, no gold sold by the treas
ury or the banks,we should now have
had on hand dollar of gold tor dollar
of currency. Would not that fact es-
tablish confidence in the currency, in
the ability of the Government TO re-
deem? And our Government, adopt
ing the wise policy of England under
Pitt, by holding this gold should COM
pei the foreigner to purchase our COM
modities. 1t would in the most effect
ual manner possible stimulate our
productive industry, and the foreign
demand for all of our product.-N.Y.

Great Confiagration at Tiffin.
SIXTY BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
Loss Estimated at 800. 900.

Loss Estimated at $1OOs0OO.
AT ABOUT 2 :45 on the afternoon of
Saturday last a fire broke out in the
store of Mr.. A. Mcneil, in the western
part of the city of Tifin, and the
building which was large two-stofy
frame was soon In flames. A heavy
gale blowing from the southwest gave
rise to serious apprehensions for the
safety of the entire city. The wind
carried the burning brands to great
distance, and within thirty minutes,
houses at least half a mile away from
where the fire .originated were in
flames. The progress of the fire was
so rapid that it was difficult to remove
furniture or other effects from its
path, and within two hours the devas-
tation was complete. Over sixty
buildings were totally destroyed. in
Guiding houses, barns, stores, saloons,
a staye factory, and q, portion of the
railroad depot buildings. The main
portion of the city was untouched,
thanks to the energy of the fire de-
partment in preventing the flames
from crossing the railway. The loss
is very large, but as yet it is impossi-
BILE to ascertain the amount. Nc lives
were lost.

What Was Proved.

The organs of the Administration
are insisting that, in the late inyesti-
CATION of the Congressional Commit
tee of the charges preferred by Mr..
Dana, of the New York San, against
Secretary Robson, of the Navy De-
partment, Mr.. Dana las utterly failed
to substantiate his charges, and that
the Secretary enlerges from the inves-
tigation completely vindicated. When
committees are chosen from those who.
are known to be utterly opposed to-
investigations, no one expects any 9TH
er than whitewashing report. But
does the proof before the committee
exculpate Robeson from the charges.
As to what was proved the Sun sayss
"He has proved that Secretary
Robeson made, in the most fragrant
violation of a perfectly plain statute of
the United States, the following pay
ments: 92 Sat. -.
some of over Ninety Thousand Dol

"One of Twenty-three Thousand
Dollars. g ltsse ai .Et stsH ~
s&"Mr. Dana has also proved that
Secretary Robeson made large con-
tracts for iron, privately, without adj
vertising, when there was no haste or
emergency to justify OF. excuse him,at
extravagaiit and excessive rates, pay
ing for il a much larger sum than he
might have g0t it for. ~ e. ~ -
''These are only = part of the un-
lawful acts and irregVarities W hieh

ry Robeson.' #1

been whitewashed. 80

Francis Adams, of Massachusetts,, for
President, and Senator Lyman Trum-

They are both what may be called
first-class men, of great popularity

What are Government Bonds,
and on What Terms Were
They Issued.

The Federal Government, fearing
evil effects from the augmenting vol
ume of greenbacks in circulation, made
this proposition to the holders:
Whoever would make deposit of
their greenbacks with the Govern
ment until after the expiration of a
specified time, the government would
pay on all amounts thus deposited six
per cent. per annum. in gold, until
Government should refund the depOs-
it. For this deposit certificate would
be given stating the time of return of
deposit, and that meantime gold in
terest on its par would be paid. These
certificates of deposit, made transiera-
Bile, are the famous bonds, and is all
therei is of them, which now are the
chief objects of favor with the Admin
istration. 4H.i
The express purpose and the condi-
ton of their issue was that in consid-
Grafton of gold interest of six per
cent, equal at that time to twelve per
cent, in greenbacks, the holders of
these certificates engaged to waive, in
favor of tho current grcenbacks, all
claim for redemption until after the
expiration of many years or at option
of Government in order that the COM
munity might know that the current
greenbacks had exclusive claim upon
the current resources of the Govern
ment for redemption during the whole
period of these postponed deposits, and
until the out standing greenbacks
should have been redeemed.
The foregoing is frank and truth

can the Administration justify itself
for selling the geld thus solemnly
