If the columns of domestic advertisements III
TIE TRIBUNE afford us clear insight into
orr family and social life, there are others
which give, more forcby than any laborcd
patriotic Grafton. an idea of the magnitude
and power of this country and It's business re-
lations to other parts of the world. The brief
announcements of the sailing of ocean steam
crs and their ports III every habitablc part
of the globe, and the timetables of rail
ways netting in the whole continent, would
serve as measuriDg-rods to any intel
Egent observer, by which he could accu
ratey survey the extent of our commerce
and internal trade There is hardly point
on this continent, we believe, to which the
traveller cannot buy "A through ticket at some
of the Offices advertised in our pages taking
as Il rule if he chooses his chamber, drawing
room, and restaurant along with him; willie
there is nothing which hints with more sig
nifcancc at the power ard energy of New
York than the dirty board signs over tn" piers,
with their curt announcement, To London, To
BroziI. 70 Sierra Leone, 70 Sweden, when we
remember that it has required less than CEN
tury to enable her thus to stretch out her
hands with 50 strong grip 10 the tarthcSt
ends Of the earth.
II might help lis to a better understanding
of our position if we turned "A leaf backward
and read New-York through the advertise
mcnt- of paper published hundred years
since. Here we have The NNr- York chronicle
of oct. <, 1775. which on this morning a cen
tury ago was issued "by John Holt at his
Printing office near the Coffee House" As

turn to the advertising columns to find the
account of foreign and home travel to
collate with that of to-day, and dis

1t is interesting to know that Mr.. Columbus
DeanO, who short time ago was complaining
of being worn ont in the service of his c0un-
try, has taken the stump for the Republican
ticket. More interesting and much more sug-
geStive is the intelligence, which comes to us
in our Ohio correspondence, that the Rcpub-

announce that he appears d" on his own hook

is great satisfaction in the thought that the
Republican managers in the State have learned

it really looks as though they know more

CLEUS, CHgEVER &. CO.. B1NRERS.


II does not seem at all likely that Mr.. B. II.
Cheevcr will part with his interesting knowl-
edge respecting the affairs of Mr. Henry
Clews until he is subjected to closer pressure
than it is probably in the power of the Regis
ter in Bankruptcy to apply. The facts OF the
case so far rs they are known to the public
are very curious. A few years ago the hScal
agency of several departments of the
United States Government was suddenly taken
away from the distinguished house of the Bar
ings, who had held it with great satisfaction
to the Government for a long time, and
given to Mr.. Henry Clcws. The change ex-
cited a great deal of comment. The reputation
of the Barngs is worldwide. The reputation
of Mr. Clews was certainly not extensive at
that time, and he had done nothing to justify
the confidence so strangely shown him. We
all know how il turned ont. Mr.. Clcws soon
suffered double collapse, and the history OF
his short career is one which no American
fnanccr can review without shame. How he
got the Government business has always been
a tantalizing mystery. Mr.. Cheeycr tells just
enough about it to provoke curiosity for
more. He submits memorandum of
agreement by which it appears that the
profits of the agency were to be divided
equally between Clews. Habicht, Cheeyer, and
one James Van Buren, and according to his
own testimony the consideration for which he
was to receive his quarter was his influence
with Congressman and officials at Washington
in obtaining the agency. He says he talked
10 Senators, COngresSmcn, Secretaries ana
other persons for about two years. and
he il understood to claim the en-
tire or at least the principal crcdit
for finally bringing about what Mr..
Clews 80 much desired. But it appears
from letter produced at the examination on
Wednesday that there were other "per1ohs
"associatcd with" Cheever in this enterprise.
and when he was asked for their names h
mentioned only one-Judge Louis Dent the
Presidents brothcr-n-law. There is some
thing queer about Judge Dents connection
with the case. He does not seem to have rem
dered any ostensible service to the firm, but
ne was to receive onc-cighth of the profits,
and. strange 70 say, 1t ~ not clear
from whose share that portion was to
come. AT one time according to the
witness. it was the understanding that
Dent was to have a half of Chceyer's quarter,
bur he gives the impression that this arrange
ment was afterwards modified; "Clews came
" to Washington and met Dent, and what ar
rangcments they made then don't know"
And Van Buren, Well, this is another mys-
tery. Nobody seems to know anything about
him. Chceyer does not know where he lives,
and cannot tell how his name came to be
inserted in the partnership agreement. No
one has been discovered who ever saw him,
or ever heard of him. Mr. Cews offers no
explanation and the public is settling down to
the conviction that he is myth. Now that
the Presidents brothcr-in-law is discovered
bargaining for a commission of twelve and a
half per cent on the profits of Government
appointment, it becomes important to know
who stands behind the name of james Van
Buren,
New-York tribune., 1875-10-08

their sagacity in using for currency "he AZ
most non -erportable silrer." This explanation
appears to us open to two objections FIRST
the metal silver is exportable in high de-
gree. 1t is a thousand times more so than pig
iron, and pig-iron has always been regarded by
Mr. Carey. in common with THE TRIBUNE,
as excessively exportable. - ton ol
pir-iron il worth from $50 To go,
but ton of silver is worth more tliah
$25, ,OOO Secondly, granting that silver Is
too bulky TO he exported the fact remains
that the principal metal in the coinage OF
France is not silver but gold. In the sixteen
years from 1855 to 1870, inclusive, the gold
coined at the French mints aggregated 5,29''-
s5O,7lO francs, while the silver coined
amounted to only 556.O20,242 francs, or
about one-tenth the value OF the gold lhese
statistics we find in The London Economist for
August 81, 1872. The total amount of com
in France Is estimated at over l,OOO OOO,ooo,
mostly of exportable gold. This excessive
amount is required on account OF the preNa-
lence of passion for boarding and the little
progress which the habit of keeping bank ac-
counts has made among the provincial popu-
laion.
The payment of the indemnity being COM
uletcd. neither the French Government nor the
Bank was willing 10 prolong for moment
tI,e existence of an inflated and inconyertible
papcr circulation, though for the time being
and the reasons stated, the depreciation was
not serious. They have, as we showed the
other day. contracted the note circulation
S142 OOO, 900 since Oct. 81, 1878, and added
SlS3 600, 900 to the specie reserve. which, on
Sept %, had reached the unparalleled amount
of 1,62J,316,92l francs or T32j,OO0,0OO, the
greatest mass of gold and silver ever under
the control of single bank or government.
The combined total of the notes Withdrawn
and specie accumulated since October, 1873.
is also $500 900. Bearing iii mind that
gold and silver, like iron and cotton, are sent
where there il a Use and "A demand for them,
we should look for Il considerable excess OF
imports over exports of specie i'll the French
trade returns of the last two years. nOtwlth-
standing that the Germans have Transformed
France into a debtor nation" The fact We
find to he precisely what we should have
looked for on scientific grounds. The follow
ing table shows the French imports and eX-
ports of specie from Oct. /, 1873, to Sept !,

he still further impaired by the decree just
issued, stating that the interest and principal
of her public debt, falling due during the next
five years, will be paid half in cash and half
in FIVE per cent bonds. This act of partial re-

In the trial at Clcarfcld, Penn, OF Sncy
and Parks for melting the riots during the
miners strike, very unequal result has
been rcached-Sincy being acquitted, while
Parks is punished with one years imprlson-
meDt at hard labor and a fine which carries
costs estimated at 81 800. These disturbances
in PENNSYLVANIA were really as subvCrsivc to
public peace as any of the riots OF recent
years in the Southern States; and it would
seem as if there should he little difficulty about
ndicting and furnishing the Tingleaders. But the
trial turned less on the connection Of Sincy
and Parks with the riots, than with their vlo-
lation Of Pennsylvania law which forblds
combination to increase or deprcSs the value
of any vendible commodity; labor as well ~
merchandise coming under this designation
Laws against conspiracy, applied to the case of
strike, seem so much like abrdSing the
rights of an American citizen, that they arc not
apt to meet with popular favor either in or out
of a jury box hence it is not surprising that
Siney was acquitted.

Public opinion has gained another signal
triumph in England, the obnoxious Admiralty

civilized nations.

The total of coin and bank notes taken in

appears that the French outside of the Bank

less of circulating medium" than they had
two years ago. But then it is to be conSld-
cred that two years ago they were IN the en-
ioyment of 500, 10000 more than they had
in the month Of June, 1870. What is partic-
ularly encouraging is that in spite of 9 the con-
"tracton of the currency heretofore made by
" that soulIcsS monopoly, the Bank OF France,
"and the further contraction proposed by IT.,
with view to the forced resumption of spe-
I" Gle payments" lin 1879, general bank
ruptcy is not regarded as impending. Our re-
searches into the financial experiments OF ma
tons have convinced us that the more rags

Free education grows in favor at the South
The general tenor of the report OF Superih-
tendent Sears to the Trustees of the Peabody
Fund is most encouraging. Nothing shows
the hold that the cause of public instruction
is gaining upon the hearts of the people more
than the liberal contributions for the past year
1t is significant that the States which make
the best exhibit in this respect are those
which first threw of the yoke of carpet-bag
governments. Virginia heads the list with
Tennessee closely following; in nearly ALL
however. the friends of popular education may
find reason for encouragement.

relations between the races as the only OASIS

kinds of grain, ll5 acres, and bound it in ten
days and half. Had no trouble whatever.
nor no delays of any kind We worked it in

worked equally as we'll in one as the other. We
commenced work in the morning early when
the dew was on, and worked right through the
day. think the binders box Is an excellent
feature of the machine, as it saves all the scat
tering and shelled grain, besides being easier
to bind ON than any of the other Harvesters.
My binders, as we'll as myself, had previously
had experience in binding on the Marsh, and
we all much prefer binding ON the Edward.

and most durable OF any Harvester now in the
