THE New York Herald gives the fol-
lowing as President Grants views on
imitation:
The President does not fear the triumph
ofinfation at the fall elections, nor does he
anticipate that even the success Of that doe
trine could affect the legislation Of Congress
for two years to come. He will veto any
act for the repeal Of the law providing for
resumption in 1879, and thinks that two
thirds vote against the veto can not be Sc
cured in either the Senate or House.

JEFF. DAVIS has seen fit to express
himself on the currency question, and
he is now no doubt being looked to
as leader on that issue by many of
his admirers, and we will not be sur
prised at seeing him take the stump
for reputation. By that means he
hopes to succeed in doing what he
signally failed to do by force of arms.
The people learned to appreciate his
kind Of paper money several years
ago. The JEFF, Davis Government
only wanted paper, ink, plates, type
and printing presses to make money
plenty. They did make it plentiful.
But it took n nat crown full of five,
ten, twenty or fifty dollar bills to buy
a breakfast. Jeff's people entered
into large speculations with this
rotten rag money" They bought
up Confederate bonds, and many of
them have them boarded away now,
waiting for the good time coming"
when they will be all right again.
Brother Charlton is not required to
take the SAY so of any one man" on
these points, but will see by waiting.
He is frank and candid man, and
when he discovers the frauds and out
RACES which his party has in store,
should they come into power, we shall
expect to see him drop il like a hot
potato" and come over on the side of
honesty and progress. He is at heart
a Republican, but his associations are
not the besr, hence his mistake comes.

The Ring Convention in Pennsylvania

Gov. Hartranft of Pennsylvania has
striven very hard to administer creditably
the great office to which Charles r. Buck
alew was really elected in 1872. But he
had made his connections with the ring
when auditor general, and had taken the
benefit of the enormous crime by which
the ring had seized the state. He was, of
course, its bond-slave forever, and how
ever bitterly he may now feel the igno-
miny of his position, escape is impossible.
Bill Mann, Bob Mackey, Simon Cameron,
and Bill Kemble own him, and exhibit
| their pride of property on every convenient
occasion. They made him oppose the new
constitution. They made him appoint a
Democratic member of the house judge,
| in order to hush up one of the numerous
treasury scandals. They compelled him
to 90 to Philadelphia last fall and make an
exhibition of himself at one of Bill Mann S
disgraceful meetings. They put their
hands on his collar and drag him hither
and thither. He is their man, and they
intend to use him.
Under his administration the rings have
hourished in perfect security, and they
cannot afford to dispense with him. The
fact that he has personally demeaned him
self more honorably in the office of COVER
nor than he had done in the office of audi
tor general, makes him all the more valu,
able to his masters. The Lancaster con-
vention will renominate him without di.
vision.
| Among the delegates from Philadelphia
we observe the savory names of Bill Mann
Bill Leeds, Bob Mackey, and Blaine's
friend, bright little Harry Bingham
} They intend to run this convention in the
, old style, and no candidates will be turned
out without the indelible brand of the
ring. We give them joy of their power
! in the party. 1t must be an intense salts
l faction to the half dozen leaders of thi
, disrepusable combination to select candi
( dates and make platforms for the Repub
ican citizens of Pennsylvania to vote 70
$ and die by.
y One thing, however, is very certain. /

J. duty according to popular expectation, thi

ened.

Sioux CRY, Iowa, May 19.-Everything
is quiet to-day at the Winnehago agency.
The Indians say they have postponed for
10 days any attempt to remove their girls
from the school, and if by that time Clark.
the superintendent of the schools not re-
moved, they propose to take the girls out
by force. In doing this, they have no in
tention of injuring persons or property.
The postponment is in order to give time
to communicate with Superintendent Bar
clay White, who is now in the Indian Ter
ritory. Alex Payer, the interpreter, says
the Indians are determined to have JUS
tice, which, in their view, means either the
removal of Clark or the surrender of the
girls. Clark says that what he did is, as
he believes, for the best; and the agent,
Taylor Bradley, is disposed to maintain
his brother-in-la law, Clark, at all hazards
until higher authority decides upon the
case. 1t is now claimed by Clark that ''the
examination he made of his female pupils
persons was not with the idea of determin
ling the virginity of the girls, but for the
purpose of ascertaining whether they haC
at that particular time, been guilty of yield
ing to the solicitations of the Indian boys
and becoming wives with all that thu
name implies" Unless their demands arr
complied with, the Indians propose to TAX
the girls out of school, peaceably if the!
can, torcibly if they must. On the othe
hand, the agent is determined that n
: steps looking to breaking up the school, o
disregard of his authority, shall for mo
; ment be tolerated. 1t is thought tn
troops now there will be withdrawn With
day or so, as there seems to be no res
, cause for their presence at the agency.

III virtuOus Utterances mean anything, the

make an honest effort TO re Ieem that state
from the abuses arising from the misconduct
OF ignorant and corrupt officials. In his
message sent To the legislature yesterday he
Is emphatic In urging that no appropriations
be made in excess of the revenues of the
state, and makes other recommendations
with a view tO the more economical admin
istratiOn of the state government He re-
ports the adjustment of the state debt as
progressing rapidly, and says that up TO date

seven hundred thousand dollars of old state
bonds and stocks into one million three hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars of cOnsolida-
tion bonds and stocks; and that when the
funding is completed the total debt will be
less than six millions. II Governor Cham

Spawned as the eastern half of the Amari-
can continent is with railroads which form
connections between almost all important
points, the business OF railroad building
seems TO be falling of. According to the
Railroad Gazette there were 1875 miles of
track laid last year, against S.SSj miles in
1873. The number Of miles laid in 1874 is in
fact less than the extent OF track laid in anv
year since 1865, when but 1,Il2 miles were
constructed. The total railroad mileage in
the United States at the close OF ISIS is given
at To,65i. The year ISIS, consequently, be-
gins with - so miles. The increase of mile
age last year is said TO correspond very nearly
with the increase of population, being about
* per cent The section of country showing
the greatest increase last year is the north
western states, Illinois, Wisconsin. Mime
Sofa, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska,
where i67 Of the SO miles were constructed.
The greatest decrease was in Arkansas, Ten
sessee, Kentucky and West Virginia, in
which states but 10 miles were laid.

IL is a significant fact that although we
frequently hear Of the landing Of heavy re-
Inducements for the Spanish army in Cuba
we never hear Of any troops returning to the
mother country. Cuba is not inaptIy called
a graveyard for Spanish soldiers, thousands
Of whom die yearly before becoming accli-
mated. Isn't it about time for Spain to pause
and count the cost i'm men and treasure of
suppTeSSing the rebellion? That a mere
handful Of hybrids, poorly armed and clothed,
and in half-Starved condition, should have
Kept large Spanish army at bay for six
years is far from creditable to the Wanted
prowess of Spain. The accession of Alfonso
10 the throne has created but little enthu-
siasm among the loyal Cubans, and will
probably have no perceptible effect on the
rebellion.
