The FALL ELECTIONS AND THE CURRENCY
QUESTION There are seventeen State conven-
tons announced to meet between June 10 and
August rs, and the Chicago Tribune, referring
to this fact, declares that the financial ques-
ton must be considered by each one. 1t ar
CUES that, Congress having failed to settle the
question, ''the conventions must take cogni-
zAnce of it. 1t is the question on which the
elections in the fall should be made to turn.
Candidates should pledge themselves TO one
side or the other on this all-important prob
lem. The candidate for election or re-elec-
ton TO Congress who is non-committal on the
Currency bill and the Presidents veto, or on
the course he will advocate himself whether as
Senator or Representative, when the question
comes up again, should be branded as cow
ord. triekster and pettifogger.'

WHILE THE COMMISSIONERS OF ACCOUNTS ara
engaged in an investigation of the Department
of Charities and Correction it will be we'll for
them to inquire into the manner in which the
census is kept. How many persons are
entered twice as part of the population How
long are names kept on the books after those
who bear them have left the institution? How
many prisoners, paupers invalids and children
are at the present moment in the institution
under charge Of the Commissioners? These
points are important and should be thor
oughly investigated.

HE BRITISH PARLIAMENT are talking and
thinking more about religion than they have
done for years. Not that they are practising
its precepts far from it. That would be q
dangerous experiment to try, and would prob
ably produce q revolution in twenty-four
hours. There is no harm, however, in talk
ing about the kind of religion which other
people ought to enjoy. The Archbishop of
Canterbury has fairly sat down on the
ritualists, and is anxious to get majority of
the officials to do the same in which case they
will be- fattened out as effectually as though
one of the pillars Of St Pauls had fallen ON
them. The Duke of Richmond is very
anxious about the Church OF Scotland. He
cannot be happy until its disestablishment is
complete He talks about it continually, and
even condescends to do bit Of lobbying in
that direction now and then. The Arch
bishop OF York is troubled about the scandal
connected with livings, and we'll he may be.
He hopes the time will come when parishes
will be able to choose their own ministers
but there is a large moneyed interest to fight.
and money is worth as much in England as it
is anywhere else. On the whole it is a great
relief to hear the members Of Parliament
talking about other peoples religious affairs.

A GOLDEN RULE The editor of the Journal
of Bucyrus, Ohio, lays down a golden rule
to the editorial profession when he SAYS,
editors should rise above asking any priv

why any editor should condescend to accept
it." Editors are like other men in this battle

Coon News FROM THE SoUTH.-We have
better news from the South as to the crops.
1t now seems to be conceded that the disasters
to sugar, rice and cotton will be less serious
than was at first anticipated. We learn that
in many of the large cotton districts tina
water has subsidized so as to permit the work
of replanting to commence and, as the Rich
mond Enquirer informs us, if the new plant
can be got in by June Is the prospect for =
good crop will be encouraging, as "the rich
alluvial deposit will strengthen and hasten
the growth of the cane and cotton plant"
'Rice," we are further told, twill not be
greatly injured If the large volume of water
is speedily removed from it. Precisely such
condition Of things prevailed in 1858 and
1859, and the cotton crop of those years
was without precedent in extent Of yield and
frmness of texture"

WHAT Is THE MATTER IN KANSAS ?-Senator
Pomeroy, Of Kansas. has gone home to stand

consented, and even urged, that the case be
not proceeded with" about one.third of
the State Senator's and four hundred promi-

Judge, we are told. has taken the letters and
petitions into consideration and will SOON
decide. This is an extraordinary story. II
Senator Pomeroy is guilty let him suffer-
What right has the Judge to listen to appeals
and entreaties from "the prominent men, in
the State2 The truth, We suspect to be, is
that the men who have been assailing Pomeroy
are as bad as he is said to be, and that they
fear his anger if he is pressed too hard. But
it shows a low tone in Kansas to find Judge
open TO the influences now surrounding Judge
Morton.

WE PRINT elsewhere full translation of
the speech of M. Rochefort at the Academy of
Music last evening. This will be on appro-
pirate pendant to the now celebrated mani
festo addressed to the HERALD few days
since, and which has attracted SO much atten-
ton. The lecture sustains NJ. Rochefort's
reputation as literary man Of re-
markable merit Its whole tone, however,
is repugnant to republcanism, as we under
stand it, and nothing could be more disas-
trous to France than the triumph Of its
author and his friends. M. Rochefort is still
young man, who has made a noted name
and has done great deal of harm. Our best
wish for him is that he may learn modera-
ton, wisdom and patience, and especially the
truth that France is large enough for all
Frenchmen, and not simply for those who
wear the bonnet rouge.

The PRESIDENT has taken the somewhat ex-
traordinary step Of communicating his views
to the country on financial questions in the
shape of memorandum addressed to Senator
Jones, of Nevada. The constitution provides
that all expressions Of opinion of this charac-
ter on the part of the Executive shall be
communicated to Congress in the form of o
message We presume there will be some
temper shown by the inAatonists in ref
erence to what may be regarded as an
infringement of the rights Of Congress.
The country, however, will not be over
critical, especially as the President has
as much right to express his views as
any other citizen, and the country may take
them for what they are worth. It has been q
subject of complaint, too, that the admins
tration has never had policy on financial
questions, and that Congress has been COM
PEELED to legislate in the dark. So, on
the whole, this is a wise, frank, manly
step on the part of the President. His views
are, in the main, sound, and, if adopted, will
serve the best interests of the country. They
form striking contrast to the wild decisions
of his predecessor on the same subject, and
should be read with attention and profit by
the Rocky Mountain statesmen and others
who believe that the way to resume specie
payments is to buy few printing presses and
issue reams of new currency"
