v1cE-PRRsIDENT WILSON'S LATEST COM
PLANT.

Vice. Presid ent Wilson has again been
interviewed, by an Opposition newspaper,
Of course, and has thereby been enabled
to make public q long list of complaints
against President Grant and his Admins
trstion. He is reported as Saying that
when he was elected Vice. President he
went to Gen. Grant and told him he ought
to remove the obscure men who filled his
Cabinet and fll their places, as Lincoln had
had done, with the greatest men In the
land. But the President replied "Yes,
"but Lincoln's Cabiaet was always fighting,
land my Cabinet officers do not fall out"
We have no hesitation In declaring, most
positively, that President Grant never made
any such rejoInder. II does not sound like
him, and II bears upon its face the evidence
Of being manufactured under inspirations of
desire to belittle his character, o. we'll as
10 besmirch thst Of his Cabinet advisers.
For courtesy's sake let US believe that the
interviewer unsupported Mr.. Wilson, al.
though we are free TO admit that abundant
circumstantial evidence exists to prove the
correctness Of the report. But, 1t seems
that Mr.. Wilson did not stop here. He
continued his advice to the President by
urging that the ablest man in the country
be made Secretary Of the Treasury. even II
he had to be taken from the Democratic
ranks. cater that talk, says Mr.. Wilson,
"Gen. Grant put in Richardson, q man
"whom l refused to acknowledge as one of
"the public men of Massachusetts,. He
"never had any influence there, and we
"lost the key of the position by such a
"choice as that" We have no doubt that
Mr.. Wilson did not only say this, and
exactly this, but more than this, about
Mr.. Richardson. We have the manu-
script of an interview with him in
our possession, prepared for publicaj
which, at his request, we have withheld
from the public, in which we find similar
allusion to that gentleman. Nevertheless,
it is capable of proof that Mr.. Wilson has
repeatedly acknowledged him to be
zone of the public men of Massa.
chusetts," and that after Mr.. Richardson's
acceptance of the office of Secretary of the
Treasury, he (Mr. Wilson, was heard to
remark, that the appointment was good
one." However much, he or others, in
cluding the President himself may have
had occasion to change their original epin-
ions about Mr.. Richardson, this fact shows
that he certainly had hopes when the sp-
pointmeut was first made, that 1t would
prove to be an acceptable one.

THE Philadelphis Times speaks Of the
Hon. Matt. Carpenter, of Wisconsin. as
<'the Michigan ex-senator" Evidently
Phil. Daly's editor is either more ignorant
than he is generally reputed to be. or his
frequent visits to Phil. headquarters for
the purpose of getting inspiration may
have had muddIing effect upon his mem
ory. This blunder is fair sample Of his
general accuracy, however, and is about as
near correct, no doubt, as his statement
that Mr.. Carpenter was persuaded from at
tending the Detroit rag-baby convention
by the entreaties of Senators Sherman and
Morton.

In another column we print letter
frUm Mr.. Wendell Phillips on paper cur
rency. 1t is production worthy OF one SO
purely visionary and theoretical as Mr..
Phillips in his views and reasoning. The
chief points in the letter are SO fully
answered by an editorial article on the
Repeal Of the Resumption of Specie
Payments" which we also print to-day,
that it is not worth while to go into detail
here in reply. His chief error, however,
is in assuming that the Government Is now
contracting the currency. This is not the
case, but the contrary. One hundred mill
lions are now issued for each eighty mil
lions retired. Again, he says the basis of
our currency is Government credit. Just
so. But the weakness of our currency
consists in its being composed Of due-bills
instead of time notes, that are negoti
able and drawing interest. Our notes
are worth some eighteen per cent. more
than our due bills. The next error Of Mr..
Phillips, in regard to the necessary volume
of the currency, is one of sophistry or igno-
rance. The necessary volume is deter
mined by that public confidence, or the
lack Of il, which controls the activity of
circulation. With daily and weekly pay
ments of labor, instead of monthly and
quarterly payments, which now obtain
with all large corporations, as well as with
the Government, SO as to make q cash trade
all over the country, practicable, less than
one half the present volume of cur
rency would be employed. Like the
waters of the Merrimac, which can
be used over and over again, utilizing
its power at every fall, one hundred dollars
in currency may, by active passage from
hand to hand, be made to liquidate debts to
the amount of thousands in single day.
But generous public confidence is neces-
sary to promote this active movement.

THE hard-money and States Rights Dem
ocrats in Ohio have certainly had hard
time of it. When they swallowed Greeley
as their candidate in 1872, they were COM
forted by the fact that the financial plank
in their national platform was, 10 say the
least, respectable. 1t read:
Resolved, That "a speedy return to specie
payment is demanded alike by the highest
Considerations of commercial morality and
honest government"
And they are not any better off now. The
States Rights question is not an issue to
furnish them consolation in the present
campaign, and they are compelled to accept
imitation, repudiation, and everything else
that is hateful to them.

THE prosperity Of the colored citizens Of
Georgia Is simply amazing, In view Of the
disadvantages under which they have
labored; but TO thoughtful people 1t will
indicate something of tine quantity and
quality of success they could have realized
under more favorable circumstances. As
it is, by sheer force of will and industry
some of them have been enabled to make
progress, while the masses of them have
been kept in a condition next thing to
slavery, and they have all been practically
disfranchised. Yet we are told by the
Gushers that the Southern Democrats re-
cognize the equality of every man before
the law.

The New York HsraIds Georgia cor
respondent has discovered that the colored
"fnsurgents" in that State began their in
surrection for the purpose Of establishing a
|'black mans Republic" something Of the
style of the Paris Commune. While we
place no faith in this discovery, it may
serve the purpose of attracting general at
tention to the fact that the white citizens
OF that State have already established
white mans government, from any par
ticipation in which colored citizens are rig
idly excluded. The so-called insurrection
was cooked up" by the white men for the
purpose of giving them an opportunity to
ftighten their colored fellow citizens from
attempting such participation in the future.
The latter are very nearly practically dis.
franchised now, and the white Democrats
are intent upon making their disfranchise-
ment complete. This is all there's about it.

SR-I drop you few lines to give you some
idea Of the state Of feeling here. The Demo
Gratis are the bitterest they have been since
1868. At the convention held here In July
one of their speakers denounced the United
States flag as ''dirty blood-stained rag"
After the election the Republicans hoisted the
United States flag, accompanied by banner.
The flag and banner was cut down on the Gath
inst, and on the 9th inst: the United States
flag was shot at publicly In the presence Of
five hundred people, in our streets, and ball
boles shot through 1t: some declaring that
they had fought against It once and was ready
to do so again. These are facts and you may
use them as you see fit.

VICE PRECEDENT WILSON is called q
"leader of his party" by such men as Mr.
Samuel BoWles, of the Springfield RepubH
can, Oiberal organ,) simply for the pur-
pose of using him in certain contemplated
political manouvers. The plan is to make
him President of the Massachusetts, State
Republican Convention, and have his sd-
dress to that body telegraphed broadcast
throughout the land as Liberal RepubH-
can Gushing campaign document. Mr..
Bowles and his fellow schemers believe
that the address will serve this purpose.
They know that Mr.. Wilson is inclined to
utter opinions from which the inference
can be made that the work Of reconstruc-
ton by the Republican party is either CON-
pleted or failure. They also know that

WHEN the Southern Democratic press
tells its tales Of negro instructions, we are
generally informed that the defenseless
whites were compelled to bring out their
cold shot guns" to protect their families i;
but it is strange that while none of these
whites are killed, number Of negroes are
found dead with bullets. which only fit the

Some of the Southern agents of the Asso.
ciated Press may have discovered that their
repeated tales Of negro instructions, In
which the whites escape assassination and
the blacks invariably suffer to the extent Of
the murder Of o greater or less number, are
getting to be threadbare. At any rate, Il
seems that they do not telegraph oil the
news regarding those occurrences as they
transpire, and the Northern press is conse.
quently compelled 10 rely upon the slower
means Of receiving intelligence furnished
by the malls. For example, we have heard,
a. yet no particulars from tho Florida "ln.
surreetion," and now we learn by mall that
one has occurred In Mississippi. The Nor.
cury, printed at Meridian, In that State, pub
lishes the following letters regarding them,
which need uemore comment than to suggest
that the drum beating and marching about
alluded to is privilege In the exercise Of

passed through town, bringing with them about
fifty prisoners.
Hundreds of negroes assembled in the Fox

several negroes were killed and dozen or
more wounded. Negroes commenced the
