THERE is no small rivalry between the
various Atlantic steamship companies, to
secure the highly important contracts for
The conveyance of the United States
European mails. The present contracts
expire on the last day of the present year.
1t is said that the Postmaster-General has
determined to be governed by three con-
siderations in determining to whom the
contracts shall be given: first. average
speed of vessel; second, reliability and
care; third, frequency of starting. The
department. expects to send mail day
from New York to Europe hereafter, SO
that every line running from New York to
any part Of Europe, and even the line run.
ming from Philadelphia, can have q mail to
carry. But the fact that line runs undel
the American flag, or under American
ownership with the British flag, will no
weigh in her favor as against speed ant
certainty.

The reduction of the Bank of England
rate from eight to six per cent, was occa-
stoned, so says the London Money Mar
ket Review, by the almost complete ces-
sation of the demand for discount at the
bank, at the minimum rate of eight per
cent. But there were other causes which
led to the prompt fall of the high
|er rate. The continued improvement
in the position of the money market, and
the entire absence of any demand either
from America or Germany, not only hur-
ried the fall, but has lead to the ,anticipa-
ton Of an early reduction of the
bank rate to five per cent, if not q
still lower minimum. In the meantime
coin is being largely returned to the bank,
which, as it balances the financial scales,
will lead to the general low minimum
prevailing in European states. Let US
have greenbacks enough, and the high
minimum rates In this country will
soon cease. The chief trouble here
is that what currency we have
il almost entirely monopolized by the
banks and heavy capitalists Of the country
Let the government have greenback
reserve large enough (by the authorization
of more greenbacks) to checkmate any
corner in the currency, as it has heretofor,
done in respect to gold corners. lt g

THE DISTINCT JUpGsHTp.

The special telegram TO The Dispatch
Of this morning says that the contest for
the Judgship for the Eastern District Of
Virginia, is narrowed down to General
Wickham and Colonel Hughes. Other
dispatches would not seem to show this;
but if the fact be as stated by our contem-
porary, there is little danger of an unsatis-
factory or incompetent appointment.
General Wickham is man eminently fit
ted for the position, both by education and
temperament, being discreet and clear
headed, and of character to command
universal respect and confidence. His
appointment would be a popular one, we
think, throughout the state, and one deci-
dedly satisfactory to the Virginia bar.
of Colonel Hughes it is hardly neces-
cessarv for us to speak. His ability is
unquestioned, and his nomination would
be a handsome recognition of the gallant
services he rendered, both during the
presidential and gubernatorial fight. He
would grace the District Court bench, OF
almost any position he might be selected
to fill. The President can hardly 60 astray
in the matter Of this appointment, in Sc.
lecting any one Of the persons prominent
ly mentioned in connection with the Office

FROM present indications, the DISPOSE
ton of the Geneva award promises to be-
come the subject of animated disputation
in Congress, as soon as the House settles
down to business. A number of members
have bills on the question, and it seems
that no two of them can agree as to what
shall be done withthe fifteen millions, which
is regarded much in the nature of lucky
windfall. A certain amount Of '.'eloquence
well expended" over the matter is, we
suppose, unavoidable !; but let us hope it
will be as brief as possible. The fewer
talking matches the better.

GENERAL LOGAN, of Illinois, has in
troduced in the Senate, and Mr.. Farwell,
of the same state, in the House, bill
chartering new airline railroad from New
York to Chicago. The most striking fea-
ture of the bill is that which provides that
the materials which euter into the con-
struction of the road shall. be admitted
free of duty, in consideration of which the
road shall transport government freight at
reduced rates. 1t is said that large lobby
of Western men have gathered at WASH
ington in support of it. The Senate bill
was referred to the judiciary committee on
account of the legal points involved.

s'JUsTIoE and mercy"-it was written
of old-"have kissed each other" Now
let the magnanlmity of the Republicans
in Congress, in passing a general amnesty
bill and repeating the "iron-clad" test
oath, kindle the Democratic membership
of both houses into sentiments of liberality
towards the Republican party, and the
people Of the South into better feeling
towards the federal government. OF this
last wethink we perceive some evidences
beyond the expression Of the thing itself in
numerous Southern journals.

HURRY UP THE CURRENCY CUES

The debate on the increased salary bill
still drags on in the House, to the neglect
of other and vastly more important
matters. The currency question has not
yet been touched, and no one appears of
sufficient intellectual grasp to handle the
subject as the exigencies of the situation
demand. Who will signalize his states
manship by rising to the comprehension
of the country's true needs at this trying
moment? There is a chance for imme-
date and lasting fame, as well as eternal
gratitude from the hearts of the people,
to the man Of adequate mental calibre-
if such phenomenal person is to
be found in Congress-who shall
promptly solve the financial problem. and
work out our monetary salvation at this
time. But it requires speedy movement,
and one made in the right direction. No
false step should be taken, in order to
patch up old and exploded theories of
finance, or make our currency anything
else than an instrument Of exchange for the
benefit of all classes alike. with equal
facilities to all to command it to the extent
Of their means.
We care not how many fine and hair
splitting distinctions may be drawn between
money and other things vendible, like the
loom, the spindle, the plow, the Doe, the
spade, etc. Every day-laborer under
stands its use, and knows that in passing
from hand to hand, ever the same from
year to year, exchanging all products and
all services, and bringing, as to value, all
things vendible into numerical relationship,
it performs as much of function as a
loom or spindle. and indirectly creates
as much value. In fact, of all the labor
saving devices, none comes up to the value
Of money, as an instrument for affecting
the exchange Of products, and CON-
mandng labor. It is essentially an
instrument or tool, and government
that gives monopoly in these to any one
class of its people, commits the most OPP
pressive and unjust of all outrages against
the general public welfare. No monopoly
in money as the greatest labor-saying in.
strument ever devised by man !! Let the
government hold the greenback as near to
the gold standard as possible, and give us
convertible bonds by means Of which oul
people shall have an equal right to con
troll the most valuable of all our tools fol

commerce, and whatever else the ingenuity
of man shall seek to accomplish by it.
