GONE MORE UNFORTUNATE. IF the tele-
graph correctly reports Mr.. Jefferson Davis
he declared himself in Missouri yesterday
against resumption of specie payments. He
asserted that ''specie resumption was i'm
practicable until our exports exceed our
imports declared that Congress had no
authority to declare specie payments should
be resumed at a certain date, and that in the
present condition Of the country more cur
rency is needed" We wonder Mr.. Davis
was not afraid that the ghost of old Tom
Benton would rise up to denounce him
when he uttered such sentiments in Mis-
souri,. 1t is pretty certain that if he had
used such language during Benton's lifetime
he would have heard some unpleasant re-
marks from that democrat.

PROFESSOR MARsH's CATALOGUE OF LIES

Interior Department is curious study. No
officials were ever before so fearfully exposed
Us are Commissioner Smith and Secretary
Delano by the earnest and emphatic Yale

fixed upon, and they are shown to be utterly
unworthy of confidence or respect Profess
sor Marsh is to be commended for his disin-

the Indian frauds, especially as it will be
impossible for the Commission to investigate
his charges to meet them successfully with a

better apply personally to President Grant

diseases. When a sufferer has derived no
benefit from the prescription of his physi-
clan he is tempted TO run after every nos
trum which brazen quacks can get Haunted
in the face of the community by the
arts of puffery. The fortunes made
by impudent quacks betoken the
wide prevalence of chronic maladies
The success of the inaationists, like the sue
cess of quack DOCTORS. depends on the ex-
istence of evils long felt and not cured The
proposed remedy is insane froth and folly,
but the patient is unquestionably right in
thinking that something ails him. Since
the great panic of 1873 the condition of the
patient has been growing worse, and nobody
should be surprised that suffering peo-
pie become the easy dupes of financial
quacks. The imitation theory is the height
of midsummer madness" but the distemper
for which 1t ignorantly prescribes is unfor-
tunately too real, and we must not overlook
the gravity Of the disease in our just scorn Of
the impudence, ignorance and reckless self
ishness Of the quacks. The tendency to run
after quacks is symptom and proof of the

appear if the condition of the patient
should begin to mend. The inhationist
delusion, besides being proof of popular
ignorance, is also a proof of widespread pub
lie suffering. Financial distress is the soil
in which financial delusions take root
and thrive. Financial quacks and medical
quacks would alike find their occupation
gone in the absence of real suffering.
The medical comparison which we have
suggested might be still further pursued.
There are natural laws of health which cam
not be violated with impunity, and wise
physician depends less ON medicines than
on bringing his patient to comply with
sound physiological requirements. After ac-
complishing this he relies principally on the
recuperative forces of nature for a final cure.
In this financial disease under which the
country lies PROSTATE the regular physician
is the federal governments but no intelligent
patient expects his physician to work mira
cles. The public prosperity depends on in
dustry, thrift and economy as really as indi-
vidual health depends upon pure air, tenn
within the control of the patient him
self, and the prescribed medicines are
merely auxiliary. And yet the pre-
scriptions of skilful physician
are invaluable, often making the difference
between life and death. The federal gov
eminent, which is the regular physician,
having done nothing for the relief of the
country, it is not surprising that the patient
lends ready ear to quacks. We could easily
show him that he is mistaken if we could
only get him to listen; but the misfortune is
that quacks have a natural ascendancy over
suffering ignorance The financial question
bids fair to overtop all other political
issues, and the most imperative duty of the
sound part of the public press is to expose
and explode the decisions which have be-
come so formidable and threatening.

ton when it expresses the hope that ''Mr.
Frederick Stewards connection with the
party which his father did so much to found
and labored so strenuously to serve will in
the future be marked by less disastrous cir

late Secretary of State We gladly share the
hope of our republican contemporary that
Mr.. Seward, during his connection with the
party which has nominated him for Secretary
of State, will not be attacked by an assassin

INDIAN AFFAIRS are far better managed in
the Dominion ofCanada than in this country.
According to the last report of the Commits
sioners in charge of the matter across the
frontier, of which an interesting account
is published elsewhere, the savage tribes
have been converted into thrifty viii
layers by q process which combines
common sense with keen knowledge
of human nature The most fertile source
of oil our Indian wars is the cheating and
knavery of white traders and government
agents. The Canadian authorities, by deal
ing honestly with the aborigines, earn their
confidence and esteem and achieve the work
of civilization without the slightest trouble.

rhe charley ROSS Letters.

In the trial of Westervelt at Philadelphia
yesterday for completely with the abduction
of Charley Ross the letters of the abductors
were read in evidence, and these are printed
in our columns this morning A more re-
markable chapter has never appeared in a
newspaper. Terrible as the abduction
was in itself these documents add u
new horror to the crime of Mosher
and Douglass. Anything more brutal than
the language in which their propositions are
couched it is impossible to conceive, and
yet this is surpassed in fiendishness by the
propositions themselves. The threat to
''annihilate" the child if an attempt was
piece of barbarism at which men with
hearts in their bosoms must stand
aghast, and yet there is too much reason
to fear that the bloody threat has been
followed by the bloody deed. The fate of
Charley Ross is a mystery which every effort
of the police of two cities and all the aid of a
sympathetic people has been unable to
clear away, and now that the whole story is
before the public for the first time our
amazement increases at the audacity and
success Of the reckless criminals by
whom the crime was committed. At
every stage of the case the story
is full of CHASTITY wonder. The abduction
was horror which weighed heavily on the
heart of every mother in the land. What
was known at the time of the effort to secure
q ransom for the boys return created wide
spread alarm as well as deep founded indig-
nation. The long and weary waiting without
any tidings of the child or a clew to his cap
tors touched the sensibilities of all. The vio-
lent death of the two burglars added another
terrible chapter to volume of tragic and
appalling interest. Last of all came the trial
of Westcrvelt, the proofs of his completely
with Mosher and Douglass and the revela-
tions of the letters which we print to-day
The latest act of the drama is in keeping
with those which went before, and we can
only hope for that dramatic justice which
will bring JOY to many households-the re-
covery of the child and his restoration to his
parents.

The GU1BoBD CASE, still agitates the peo-
pie of Montreal, and bloodshed may yet
be the consequence. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that the gravity of the situation is
past, and that the counsels of Bishop Bourget
70 avoid disorder will be respected. There
is no real question at issue in this case except
the right of the Roman Catholic Church to
designate who shall be buried in consecrated
ground, and it is mere narrowness and
bigotry or worse, to see disloyalty to the
Crown in any such ecclesiastical action.
