SENATOR CARL SCHURZ seems to be in a
fair way of experiencing the traditional in
gratitude of republics. According to the
best political judgment and the opinions of
leading editors, German and English, in
Missouri and other States, there is very
little prospect that he will be reelected to
the Senate by the Democracy, and he GER
tainly cannot hope for that honor from the
Republicans. Liberal Republicanism is q
tradition in Missouri, and between the two
old organizations he falls to the ground.
This is sad. Mr.. Schurz cannot and does
not expect any favor at the hands of the
Republican party. While he was with it
and of it he was rewarded as no man was
rewarded. 1t made him a general in its
armies, minister in its administration, and,
what is higher and nobler than either, an
editor in its direction and management.
But Mr.. Schurz saw fit to betray it, and to
pun on the livery of the Democracy. 1t is
really painful to think that the organization
TO serve which he abandoned his old friends
and associations should now abandon and
give him the cold shoulder. 1t only goes
TO show that the Democracy, as a party,
hates our naturslized citizens, and espe-
cially those of German descent II Mr..
Schurz had been born in Dublin, instead Of
on the Rhine, the opposition would not
dare to treat him in this cold and cruel
manner.

THE SUMNER AND FALL ELEC-
TTON9

In view of the political, social and other
complications of the year, the summer and
fall elections which will soon be upon us
will be of more than unusual importance
and significance. To a great extent they
will determine the character Of the contest
in 1876, and clear the political skies gen.
orally.
Oregon will open the ball next month.
-Four tickets are in the field, namely, the
Republican, Democratic, Changers and
Temperance. The general record of the
State is Democratic; but Republican vic
tory is more than probable this year.
North Carolina holds an election in Au-
gust. At the present time it has Demo-
cratic Legislature and Republican State
officers. The result largely depends upon
the degree of intimidation which may be
exercised over the colored people.
Kentucky holds an election about the
same time as North Carolina, and will, we
suppose, maintain its traditionary Demo
cratic record.
Vermont and Maine hold elections for
State officers in September.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Nebraska
hold State elections in October. The prin-
cipal stronghold of the Grangers, anything
like prediction upon the result would be
mere speculation.
Pennsylvania, under her new constitu-
ton, holds ar election in November, also
New York. Massachusetts,, Michigan, Min
nesota, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Iowa, &c
The Democrats, as general rule, are
adhering to their own organization, and
the ranks of the Republicans are becoming
stronger and flrmer every day.

are the two statements, to be recon-
ciled except by the lamentable
acknowledgment of general want
of confidence in the ability or dispo-
sition of Congress to deal fairly and sue
cessfully with the currency question: The
uncertainty which hangs over the future
discoursges all extensive business opera
tions. If the country could be assured that
Congress would do nothing-would suffer
the tax, currency and finance laws to re-
main undisturbed during the remaining
three years of the present Administration,
it would just now be worth millions But
if, in lieu Of this, Congress would simply
provide for the accumulation of gold in the
Treasury for the redemption of the green
backs, and authorize the establishment of
national bank of redemption in New York,
which should also act as q clearing house
for the country banks; providing also for
the repeal of the limit to national bank
issues to take effect simultaneously with the
redemption of the legal-tender notes in coin,
1t would do far better.
Such Legislation would Immediately re-
store confidence at the money centres and
cause capital to flow into business channels.
1t would tend to appreciate Government
and individual and corporate credit both at
home and abroad. 1t would revive legiti-
mate business enterprises and check wild
speculations.
The New York banks now hold nearly
fifty-six millions of legal tenders as reserves
and twenty seven millions in specie, making
q total reserve of some eighty-three mil
lions. The Bank of England, with basis
of one hundred millions in gold, redeems
its entire circulation. If inordinate de-
mands are made upon its coin reserve, that
demand and the tendency to overtrade is at
once checked, and coin is made to flow back
into the vaults of the bank by raising the
rates of interest. What the Bank of Eng
land is to Great Britain q national bank of
redemption and clearances in New York
would be to the United States. Is there
not wisdom enough in Congress to give us
a system which shall he stable, effective and

organs Of the party openly advocate the re-
pudiation o: the whole debt, while others

Cured upon account of railroads. General
John T. Morgan has four-column article
in Selma paper taking the latter view, and
almost openly advocating that easy mode of
payment. Having plundered and almost
ruined the State, these patriotic gentlemen
see no other way out Of the difficulties that
bcsst them, except through the path of fur

4 STABLE AND UNIFORM FINAN-
TTAL POLTGY

Out of the experience of the past ten
years the statesmen of the United States
should be able to make an accurate diagnosis
of the financial situation, and prescribe a
fixed policy to remedy the evils from which
the country suffers. Emerging at that
period from an exhaustive and exciting
war in condition of embarrassment, the
reaction induced a state of general debility,
accompanied by intermittent financial fe-
vers, which have kept our agricultural,
mechanical, manufacturing and CONNER
cial industries PROSTATE, with occasional
spasmodic reyivals, to the present time.
After some years of doubt and uncertainty
upon the subject - our national doctors
finally agreed, upon consultation, that the
system should be toned up by placing our
funded Indebtedness upon gold basis and
a sure though gradual approach to a coin
currency. Gen. Grant Immediately upon
the close of the war set the example of re-
trenchment and economy in the reduction
of the army and the cancellation of con-
tracts for munitiors and supplies, followed
by a judicious disposition of the immense
aggregations on hand, in order to relieve the
Treasury. By various economies in the
administration ofthe Government and vigi-
lance in the collection of the revenues, tax
ntion was reduced many hundred millions
on the one hand, and the public debt ID
minished many more on the other.
Through these combined influences and
the prompt payment of the interest upon
the bonds of the nation, its credit appre.
ciated to par with that of the great Euro
pcan Powers. and even its irredeemable
paper promises, issued in time of war to aid
in efecting exchanges, appreciated to q
point that rendered their redemption in
coin q matter of imminent expectation and
probability.
The terrible fright which the patient re-
ceived last September caused relapse of
the intermittent fevers, and quacks having
been called in, are proposing their patent
remedies, the effect of which, if taken, will
pretty certainly be fearful collapse of the
entire system. 1t is now found that the
relapse was only . result Of the fright, that
the system is rapidly recovering from ii,
and that all It now needs to preserve its
equilibrium is an assurance that no recur-
renee of the alarm shall be precipitated.
Perfect freedom from excitement is what
the patient now requires, together with
guaranty that no further disturbance of the
circulation shall occur. That is all.
Now, is there no great financial mind
equal to this occasioni Cannot some bill
he framed, or cannot some bill already
framed be passed, which win insure this

THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO


1t will be seen from our local columns
that convention will be held here to-day
to take action looking to the extension of
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to the Ohio
river. The meeting will be attended by
delegations representing the corporations of
Baltimore, Pittsburg, &C., and by large
delegations from Cumberland and other
cities.
The proposed route is one of the most
feasible that has been devised, and if con-
'structed would do much towards the solu-
tion of the transportation problem in one
of the most important sections of the coun-
try. The Senate Committee on Transpor-
tation has made favorable report on. the
subject, and the project has the great merit
of economy. At least three States are
directly interested in the worl4 but as the
outlet of the canal, the District is more in
terested than all of them. Our citizens
should attend the convention to-day and
show by their presence their entire SYM
pathy in the matter.

THE friends of Senator Ramsey are urging
him TO be a candidate for reelection to the Sen
ate. The St. Paul Press In an article on the
subject refers to him as follows "The Press
has twice supported Alexander Ramsey for the
United States Senate, not simply because its
editor liked the man, but because knowing
him well, his robust practical abilities, his
Saving common sense his sleepless devotion
to the public interests, his broad and sagacious
views Of public affairs, his remarkable efficiency
in the achievement of practical ends, his sturdy
contempt of all the shams and snowy glitter
with which smaller men disguise their general
uselessness-we have believed him to be the
most useful Senator whom Minnesota could
send to Washington to look after and advance
the great material interests Of the State. The
result has justified our expectations. It ls not
too much to say that no Senator in that body
is nearly as successful in securing the passage
of measures for the benefit of his constituents
or of such as emanate from the important CON-
mittee of which he stands at the head as Alex
ander Ramsey. We do not now believe that
Minnesota could put any man In his place 30
capable of effective service to the State and
the country" Those who have watched Mr..
Ramsey's course in Congress will indorse all
that the Press has said Of him. He is one Of
the best and safest men In the Senate, and has
earned the high reputation he enjoys for
honesty and integrity. Minnesota will make
mistake If she fails to re-eiact him.
TIE Ohio State Journal makes good point:
''1t is little singular that the men selected by
the President no sooner leave the public service
than they are discovered to be men of the
highest order of talent, though they have never
good word from any independent journal
30 long as they remain In the public service.
This reflection occurs to us in connection with
q special editorial notice of General Horace
Porter, which we find in Fridays Tribune.
Porter was spoken of as "a dapper West Pointer,
with the slightest possible qualification for any
work of civil character while serving as the
Presidents private secretary. He left that for
more profitable service some time since. Last
Thursday night there was q banquet by the
New York Chamber of Commerce, where some
the most eminent men Of New York addressed
the assemblageon on select topics, in carefully
prepared (and written) speeches. Among
others, Porter spoke. His first speech was
such hit that he received the unique compli-
ment of being called out for second speech,
both delivered off-hand." The New York
Chamber of Commerce is not the first audi
enes that Horace Porter captured in one Of his
