On December 1s, 1865, tho war having
como to an end and the work Of financial re-
organization having been begun by Mr.. McCul-
loch, the House of Representatives, by the de-
cisive vote of l41 to 6, passed the following
resolution:

This resolution was passed in December,
1865, nine years and six months ago. Slice
that date no one who has contracted debt
has had any right or reason to expect that
the long defauted promises OF the Onited
States would be made of less value by being
increased in quantity. Every debt contracted
since that date has been promise to pay what
the debtor must have known to be thing
which was steadily growing scarcer in proper
ton to the uses for which it was employed.
In the la months which have elapsed since
December, 1865, there have been only five
in which the price of gold has risen above
$50, one of which was September. 1869, when
Fisk g. GOuld's Black Friday gold corner cul-
minated Upon long averages, say OF two years,
the premium on gold in these IA months has
fallen from 40 to 1l5, or, in other words, the
gold value of the Engraved promise OF the
Government to pa gold has risen from
lilo cents to 81 cents. Can the
debtors of tho country, who are In
debt by their own intelligent and voluntary
act. reasonably ask for any slower progress
Is it any worse for them to borrow dollars
when they arc worth 71l2 cents and pay back
when they arc at 81 cents, than it was for the
creditors to lend dollars at par and receive
them back at 40 cents I Let 1t be remem-
bcrcd, too, that the creditor OF 1850 and the
preceding years depended upon the Constitu-
ton, the laws and the sense Of justice OF the
people for the security of his clam. The
debtors from February %, 1862, to this hour
knew, or have only themselves to blame II
they did not know, that they were entering
into n speculation in which they ran the risk
of loss as well as gain. In comparison with
the creditors of fifteen years ago, they nave
been treated not only justly, but generously.
They have no grounds for complaint, and they
have nothing to gain ~ again unsettlng the
value of money and destroying public ana
private credit. That would be repetition of
Injustice but in no respect cure for previous
misfortuncs. 1t would not raise the dead.

be thought to have equally affected botn
teams: but the sncers and grOans were directed
against only the unlucky one. Great allowance
oueht to be made for these circumstances.
The Irish rife team had no control over the
crowd and cannot be blamed for its miscon-
duct. Our congratulations over the victory
should be tempered by regrets for the un-
me,ited misfortunes Of the vanquished.
On the other hand, closer examination OF
the targets at Dollymount, as presented IN
Yesterdays TRIBUNE, reveals an interesting
point. The American shots arc generally
grouped toward the center of the bulls
eye. If circles he drawn within the bulls-
eyes, Just touching the edges OF the
squares, it will be seen that only about five
per cent of the bulls-eye shots were in the
corners of the squares. The proportion of these
corner shots in the targets of the Irish team Is
considerably larger. 1t follows that if both sides
had used targets with circles instead OF
squares. the prepondcrancc of good shots on
the part of tho Americans would bo even
more strongly indicated than it is at present
but Of course the difference of area and of no.
tation in the new method would have made
comparison with previous scores almost lni-
possible.
We commend these facts to those who are
estimating the chances of success of our coun-
tiymcn in other rifle matches in Great Britain

LESSONS From TIE TARGETS.

All accounts of the international rifle match
agree in describing it as scene of wild ex-
ctement among the spectators that must have
been very trying to the rifemen. Few people
are so constituted that the sentiments of a
fierce crowd, of which they are the
center, do not affect them. We may
well suppose that the angry roar of
their countrymen at every miss made by
the Irish team, had dsheartenng effect. 1t
is not IN Irish nature, if in human nature at
ALL to accept such demonstrations with indif-
ference. The mere noise and disorder may

If the damage by the inundations in France
has been very great the measures for relieving
the sufferers have also begun on large scale.
The fact that two hundred thousand dollars
have already been contributed for this purpose
in France, speaks well for the generosity of
that nation.

That increased facilities for the distribu-
ton of our water supply are needed was
pretty clearly demonstrated by the letter of
Chief Engineer Bates to the President OF the
Fire Commission. The subject is further con-
sidered in the statements, drawn from official
sources published to-day in THE TRIBUNE.
Gen. Porter's plan of remedying the defects Of
the present system by the laying of new mains
forthe benefit of the districts needing more water
seems to be judicous, and if this plan Is to be
adopted the present season Is, for many rea-
sons, the best for carrying it into effect.
recent act of the Legislature authorized the
expenditure of 100000 for laying down new
mains and otherwise improving the water sup
pv, and this fund might be properly drawn
upon. But the Common Council III this, as i'll
other respects, stands between the public and
needed legislation. 1t is high time for the
members of this body to be done with par
tisan quarrel which so impcdes all important
business.

The address of Gov. Chamberlain of South
Carolina before the Yale Law School yesterday
is notable for its utteranccs on political
topics of present importance. Gov. Chamber
lain was Union soldier and has lived i'll the
South during the entire period of Recon>truc-
ton. His ability is unQucstioned and while
all his earlier ventures in public life do not
seem to bear the test of severe scrutiny, he
has been an admirable Governor and is now
the leader of the Reform party, composed OF
both Republicans and Conservatives, i'll South
Carolina. When. therefore, he discusses
National powers and State rights and pro-
nounces verdict upon the experiment OF
universal suffrage, he speaks whereof he knows
and his views will command attention. Gov.
Chamberlain also speaks intelligcntly and
wisely on the currency question, Ill regard to
which there seems to be such a disposition III
the South to go astray. A full abstract of this
address may be found on our fourth page this
morning.

At a meeting of the bondhOlders of the
Northern Pacific Railroad in this city ycster-
day, large amount of the securities OF the
Company was represented. Harmony OF feel

all present did not entirely share the high
hopes expressed by Gen. Cass and Others OF
future prosperity for the line they seemed to
think that their prospects would he much
bettercd by the adoption of the plan of reor-

The marked desire to work together for a
common end shown by the bondholders GER
tanly gives vastly more encouragement that
the road may be extricated from its worst
difficulties than if, as is now the case with so
many other embarrassed railroads, there were
half dozen parties, each striving to save some
thing from the general wreck, and to get all
the advantage possible over the rest.

Fresh discoveries of gold i'll the Black HILLS
region. are announced by our correspondent.
A small detachment left the main body Of the
expedition, and has crossed the unexplored
country from the eastern to the western slope
of the mountains. Two of the party are said
to be biologists. The report brought back is
not vet given in detail, but there can be little
doubt as to its main feature-tile discovery of
gold-bearing quartz. Further particulars in
addition to those already furnished by telc-
graph respecting the party of 100 miners found
at work in Clusters Gulch, show that their
enterprise is fairly profitable. The troops at
every halt spend their moments OF leisure i'll
washing for gold, and occasionally scrape to-
ecther few grains of the precious metal {:
whether there is an abundance of it i'll that re-
gion, where ice and snow are found in June,
can only be ascertained by careful survey.
But if the Black Hills, like the KilmanSegg
family, have gold and gold and gold without
end, they can only confer pttance on the
greater part of the throng that is ready to in
wade them.

points are well taken and respectfully pre-

AS the Investigations of the Assembly Com

against the police captains accused of receiving

There is always the difficulty about this class
of offenses that the testimony to prove them
comes from persons leading more or less dis
reputable lives but where the amount OF 1t IS
so considerable, its quantity makes up for lack
of quality. Disgraceful as are these fcvela-
tons. it is only by exposure that such cor
