PHILOSOPHY TO SUIT THE TIMES.

We know of no remedy for frOst-bitten plants
broken eggs, and burst bubbles. Mr.. Henry
Carey Baird thinks be does, and we publish
his specific in another column, trusting our
readers to form their own opinions of its
merits.
In truth, as things cannot well be worse,
they must, in due course of Nature,
grow to be better. Machiavelli begins
the fifth book of his History of Flor
ence with the following passage: Govern
ments, in the variations which most
commonly happen to them, do proceed from
"Order to Confusion, and that Confusion af-
''terwards turns to Order again. For Nature,
"having fixed no sublunary things, as
." soon as they arrive at their acme and per-
Election, being capable of no further ascent,
&" of necessity they decline. So, on the other
"s side, when they are reduced to the lowest
"pitch of disorder, having no further to de-
" scend, they recoil again to their former per-
" fection-good Laws degenerating into bad
"Customs, and bad Customs engendering good
"Laws. For, Virtue begets Peace, Peace begets
"Idleness, Idleness Mutiny, and Mutiny De-
6 struction and then, uice rersd, that Ruin be-
"gets Laws; those Laws, Virtue; and Virtue
"begets Honor and Good Success"
Somewhat in the same vein the "bullonist
Lord OverstOne describes the fluctuations of
commercial credit: "The history of what we
"are in the habit of calling the state of
"strade' is an instructive lesson. We find it
"subject to various conditions which are
"periodcally returning. 1t revOlves appa-
"rently in an established cycle. First we
" find it in state of Quiescence, next Improve
"ment, growing Confidence, Prosperity, Ex-
"citement, Oyertrading COnvulsiOn, Pressure,
"Stagnation, Distress, ending again in Qui-
"escencen Now we 80 far agree with Lord
Overstones great antagonist, Mr.. TOOke, as to
believe that these ups and downs of trade
are more dependent upon the state of credit.
or temper of the business community, than
upon the volume of the currency. An increase
of the currency, as we have just had expert
mental proof, cannot convert StagnatiOn and
Distress into Prosperity and Excitement
although it may and does permit speculation,
when started, to go further than it should.
Things must now take their natural course and
we may comfort ourselves with the reflection
that the curative process has already com
menced. The smart of the caustic .must not
be mistaken for the cravings Of the disease.
The advantage Of putting our currency upon
q sound footing is by no means that we
may thereby obtain new stimulant, but that
we may prevent the recurrence of future dis
orders like those which have already produced
such lamentable consequences. "The OBJ

THE PRECISE POINT.

Administration papers and politicians have
lost their squeamishness on the Third Term
question. They no longer have time to rail at
The TRIBUNE for insisting that it be cOnsid-
cred; they are all so busy considering it them
selves. But they still do not touch the precise
point.
Mr. Perrepoint thinks it time to quit his
side-splitting jokes and speak seriously. He
is not in favor of Third Term upon his
honor he is not. But, good Judge, that is not
what we want to know of you. You would
violate the policy of your whole life
if you should be in favor of it,
after the late elections. But suppose Gen.
Grant should force conventions of subservi-
ent Office holders to renOminate him-and you
know how absolute is his mastery of the party
machinery-suppOs the nomination made.
What will you do about it1 viii you con-
tinue to support the regular ticket, or will
you bolt 7 On that question, Judge PierrepOint,
you can have the floor; what say yOuf
The Syracuse Standard, The Utica Herald,
and even The Albany Evening Journal, have
found out that they are opposed to Third
Term. 1t is wise conclusion they have
reached, and not sudden. or rash. But,
MeSSrS. EultOIbJ suppOso thO pO"SAo eboo NC
should not listen to your tardy utterance. VIII
you then protest in private at what you sup
port in public, as you have done so often be-
forel Will you stand Gen. Grants third
nomination, or will you bOltq The voters
don't care now for your abstract views about
the Third Term; but there's point on which
they would listen to you with real interest.
Will you hesitate to tell them about it
Gov Dix's serenade speech still hangs fire.
When he does deliver it, we trust he may set
the timid politicians and editors, who are let
ting 81 dare not" wait upon " would" an
example worthy of his eminent services, and of
the short, sharp decision of the order that has
given him his most brilliant fame. Let the
General hold up the effort to get Third Term,
or even the cOnnivance at such an effort, to
the execratiOn it deserves; and declare that
under no circumstances would he support such
nomination. Even that may not now reverse
the current that is setting so strongly against
HIM, but anything short OF that would DC
worse than saying nothing
New-York tribune., 1874-10-22

MR. CHAMBERLAIN or SOUTH CAROLINA.
We publish to-day a reply from Mr.. ID. II.
Chamberlain-nOw running for Governor OF
South Carolina on the regular Republican
ticket-tO the structures of letter from
Philadelphia, signed 49," published in THE
TRIBUNE of the Goth ult. The letter charged Mr.
Chamberlain with connivance in the issue and
fraudulent sale of large amount of State bonds
when he was Attorney General of South Carolina
and member of the Financial Board. We
gladly give him a hearing, and note the
specific denials of his reply but there are
certain facts of nOtoriety which seem to us to
impair it's force.
Mr.. Chamberlain has generally had the credit
in South Carolina. of drawing the acts by which
the State debt was so largely increased and Its
Golfers so little benefited. This belief extended
to Judges, members of the Legislature, and
men prominent in business circles. Against
this must now be put merely his denial OF
having drawn the acts or being consulted
about their form or phraseOlogy. They left
the door open for fraud by failing to specify
the price at which the bonds should be sold,
and put the transaction almost wholly in the
hands of an agent, a Mr.. KimptOn, a personal
friend of Mr.. Chamberlain. The State Treas
ury did not receive the proceeds of Mr.. kimp-
toms sales; it does not appear that he or his
bondsmen were prosecuted for default. Neither
there nor anywhere in all this business do we
hear Of any protest from Mr.. Chamberlain.
The finances of the State were managed-Or
rather mismanaged-by board of three or four
persons, Mr.. Chamberlain being one. So far
from disavOwing the acts of the Others which
bo yo brou cuoh 1Osaas and 1iSprpdit upOn the
State, he has publicly avOwed his belief in
their honesty. These are the facts with which
Mr.. Chamberlain has to deal, and they seem
to us to be of more Importance than the crit
lcisms which constitute his reply.

Litigation to satisfy all contracts or en-
" gagements expressed in terms of money
"by the payment of specific quantities
"Of gold and silver coin of certain
" fineness, is the cardinal principle of all
"sound monetary legislation" is the language
of Mr.. Tooke, and the same author makes the
following weighty observation, which should
be taken for the cornerstone of all currency
reform: "There is indeed no conclusion more
"fully established by the concurrence of uni
"versal experience, and sanctioned by the
"practice of mankind. from the dawn of
civilization to the present time, than that
gold and silver form the best instrument of
exchange, and the best standard or principle
"Of limitation that can be deUised for every form
"of credH.' 1t is precisely because our credit
system for the six years from the end OF 1858
to the end OF 1872 had not the benefit OF that
natural regulator of credit, that such an ex-
cessive amount of debt was incurred by indi-
vlduals and corporations. When the war
closed, the indebtedness of individuals and
corporations was not difficult to deal with (;
but in the times that followed, it has grown
to be the monstrOus evil we now see. Had
we been subject to what Mr.. TOOke calls the
principle of limitation" OF money having
a stable value. the extraordinary facilities for
incurring debt could not, probably, have sub
sisted for 80 long a time as six years, and
such fluctuations in the value of given num-
Der of legal tender dollars as we have wit
messed would have been absolutely impossible.
We have improved upon the bloody expe-
dients of the Florentine Republic. Assassina-
ton and duplicity are no longer the most
efficient allies of the statesman, yet many OF
the observations of Machiavelli remain richly
ornamented with the imperishable gold of
wisdom. Why should we, having Outgrown at
least highway robbery and murder as instru-
ments Of state-craft, resort to the barbarous
usages and exploded fallacies of the Middle
Ages in the regulation of our money! Are we
in this art and science to fall back upon the
delusions of John Law and the rascalities OF
Louis XIV7 Give us honest money, for with
out it there can be no fair dealing between
debtor and creditor.
