FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ELECTIONS
The Boston Commercial Bulletin thus COM
ments upon the effects of Democratic ma.
jority on the finances of the country:
1t is hardly to be believed that there will or
can be any serious movement towards violating
the nations pledge as to the payment of the
bonds. There will be some Oud-mouthed but
uninfuential members of the majority who
will favor, it and doubtless in the adminstra-
ton ranks will be found some to act in concert
with them; but all the traditions of the old par
ty to which the former belong teach hard
money doctrines which are not to be departed
from lightly; and certainly the administration
party, as whole, may be counted upon to car
~ out the pledge it has put upon record And
it is not for moment to be supposed that any
thing SO disgraceful to the nation as a violation
of its self-imposed obligation to pay its credi.
tors in coin can be carried with these elements
against it.
In the matter of the currency, it is more diff
fcult to foresee what will be done. True, ira
ditions which point to hard money would seem
to favor an era of currency-contraction, and it
is hoped that during the past year, the people,
as whole, have learned to see in an inflated
currency the cause, of half the ills that
beset us as a nation just now. But
on the other hand there are, un-
fortunately, communities into which the light
of truth has not as yet broken, where the idea
that business can only be revived by the issue
of more greenbacks still prevails and these
will doubtless send representatives who, what
ever their party procliyities may be, will cast
their votes according to the wishes and views
OF their constituents. "a. .-

Among other things it means that the
whole trike of political bummers in the Re-

Is the Neao York Herald about to assail
Minister Washburne? 1t must be so else it
would not be saying: "E. B. Washburne,
now our M mister to Paris, would be splen-
did candidate flor the Presidency He has
made every American feel proud of his coun-
try by his course in France. he has no asso-
citation with the blunders and misfortunes of
the party. He represents the noblest aspira-
tions of Republicanism, and as a candidate of
the party weuld be in every way acceptable to
the nation"
The Boston Advertisers Washington
special says that the Democrats Sin estimat-
ing the actual Democratic majority in the
next house, have counted not only those dis
tricts which are conceded to the party, but
nearly all those where the mdorties of the
Republicans are only few hundred each.
This is done upon the belief that contests
will be made by the Democrats who ran in
these districts, and that their party in the
house will be sure to decide, in nearly all
cases, for the contestants"
In speaking of the restoration of the Chica-
60 Tribune to the hands of Mr.. Medill, the
New York Mil says it was not independent
journalism which led to the change but ma
lignant journalism. 1t concludes that "a
dyspeptic or malignant view of parties or of
men, is not the one that is sustained by the
facts. or that is endurable, in the long run,
by men with sound digestions, clear con-
sciences, and charity toward their fellows.
Nor can journalist attain much elevation, if
he alternates the soaring of the eagle with
the diving Of the mud-hen."

Won Arnim,. Secretary Again.

CINCINNATI, Nov. GA despatch from ST.
Louis to the Commercial this morning in regard
to the arrest of Otto Won Schmidt, Secretary of
Count Won Arnim, states that the order for the
Secretary's return came from Count Won Ar
MIN Wednesday morning, Oct. 18th, and that
ne left for New York that evening, accompan-
led by detective and friend, named Peter
Grau. Saturday, the 3lst, Won Schmidt pro-
ceeded to the Office of German merchant, got
the important papers and started for Europe
that day: Won Schmidt admitted that the pa
pers in the German merchants possession were
portion of the letters of Bismarck to Won Ar
MIN, distracted by the latter from the archives
OF the Paris Legation. Thomas Lanegan, a
detective. after being shown extracts from East
ern papers denying the sccounts of the arrest,
admitted to looking up young German ON ad-
vices from Berlin, and also that the an went
back voluntarily He said there was no arrest
because the offence was of political nature.
He did not deny the particulars stated in this
despatch, nor would he admit them, giving as a
reason that his connection with the affair was
confidential and he would not violate it. He
was very much annoyed that the facts leaked
out before the arrival of Won Schmidt at Berlin.
