When DR.. Junkins brought up that
lamp chimney from Bellaire and drove a
nail in our window sill whit, and also
pitched It up 10 the ceiling and let 1t fall
on the floor without injury. We had
nothing more to say about Wendell Phil
lips declaration in his lecture on the
"Lost Arts" that the ancients knew how
TO make elastic glass, that is glass that
would rebound when thrown on the floor
and not break. It may be that NJ. de Ia
Bastie has discovered part OF the old
process, and will yet complete the bal
ance, and that we shall ere long

GOV. IeWell,s Recenfion.

HARTFORD, July 1.-THE reception
to Governor Jewell tonight was grand.
A Committee Of the citizens Of both DO
litical parties met him In New Haven,
and after the reception there, came to
Hartford by special train, stopping at
the Meriden Hotel where there was a
welcome address by Hon. D. A. Plat and
"a response by Gov. Jewell. - m

sembled at the depot. f1.s7'

fired and the arrival Of the train was
hailed with music, rockets and ,colored
fires. Mr., Jewell was welcomed by Mayor
sprague pemocrat who said the people
ielt that there was no blot on his eB-
cutCheon, and that the determination Of
the people to resent an apparent injustice
his added to this assembiage many Of bis
political opponents.
GOV. Jewell expressed his qualification
at the cordial welcome Of his friends and
heighbofs whom be was glad To meet
again, and he accepted the demonstration
as an evidence that his friends approved
his public course. He was glad TO be
promoted 10 the highest possible rank,
that Of an American private citizen.
A procession, consisting OF seven com.
panies Of the First Regiment State Mil
tia, the Governors Guard and the Cam.
bridge Guards, colored, then escorted the
Governor TO his residence, fireworks be-
ing sent of on the route and the resi-
dences OF citizens being generally illumi-
mated and the streets thropged with
people, Z % y 4, ASA, 'ig...
At his residence Hon. Eenty @. Robin.
son made an address welcoming him
again to Hartford. He said his friends
had applauded his promise TO conduct
his department at Washington on bust
ness principles, and his resistance Of the
entreaties and threats Of bad men and his
efforts in the cause ofpolitical reform, to
which the sound heart Of the nation 10
sensitive. All do not forget
THERE is IN TRUE MANHOOD
such stuff as circumstances Of elevation
to Office cannot create, nor removals from
office destroy.
Gov. Jewell responded, and after
speaking Of his qualification for this cor
dial reception 10 his home, said that
when he took his. position in the
Cabinet he did announce that he would
run his department rs any business must
be run, Tor the benefit Of the owners,
which are the people; that lie would
punish fraud wherever found, and dis
charge all ignorant or drunken employees,
and make honesty and fidelity the basis Of
to Office How far he bad
done SO the records of the department
and the verdict Of the public must judge.
The verdict to have been an honest Off.
cial was better than TO be an official.
Mayor Lewis, Of New Haven, made a
speech, in. which he said the reason why
Mr.. Jewell, who was in Washington ten
days ago, was now here as q private citi-
zen, was because he was honest.
The demonstration was without dis
tinction OF party.

cruts a. any others; hence there was an


end to all talk about retrenchment.
Mr.. Thurman said that il was true,
but as the bill had broken down all
party lines, it broke through everything.
He did not think the Government could
afford to appropriate more than s, ,0OO,.
900 this year for rivers and harbors, and
il was great fallacy TO advocate extrav-
agance, on the ground that the resources
OF this country were bound to lose.
The debate was continued by Messrs,
Logan, Caperton and Wallace.
Mr.. Morton said the debate had been to
the effect that the country was on The
verge Of bankruptcy, Tilden, who was
nominated by the Democratic party for
President, in recent speech when he was
serenaded said 'the wolf was at the door
Of every house in the country" He
(Morton) thought il was that kind Of talk
which was to enter SO largely into this
campaign, and which was so largely false.
There was some distress in the country,
but it was nothing like what it had been
said to be. The statement that the coun.
try was on the verge Of bankruptcy was
false, and put out for political effect. II
the appropriations should be made ac-
cording 10 the House bills there would
be a large surplus to apply TO the pay.
ment Of the national debt, but the people
would have us much taxes 10 pay as ever.
/, Mr.. Herman said the people would be
relieved by having surplus revenue,
Let there be such surplus, and then tax.
alton could be reduced. Congress must
cease making such large appropriations
il il ever intends TO reduce taxation. The
people shonld be relieved from every
dollar OF taxation that was possible.
There were people all over the country
out OF work, and II Mr.. Tilden was wrong
in his assertion and the Senator from In
diana (Morton) was right, the whole
country would know it. He hoped that
persons would not be Influenced by the
OF the Senator that the state Of
the country and the national treasury
was such that large appropriations might
be made.
Mr.. Ferry said that it seemed his State
had been the target against which all the
weapons had been aimed. He repeated
his argument that Michigan had Is per
cent OF the coast OF the whole country,
and he would not, be true TO his State
II he did not leave the chair
OF the presiding officer and take some
little part in her defense. He defended
his course in the morning to accept the
House bill and said that the bill gave
Michigan $4,000 less than the, bill as
now before the Senate. He denied that
this was political bill and argued that
it was for the interest Of commerce
the country. When other
gave good reasons for improve
ments in their respective localities, he
had voted for them as he did for those in
his own state, because he supposed that
the Senators knew best what. their re-
spective states wanted.
Pending the discussion, Senate went
into executive session and soon al journ.

TYl,Ien ar,d Hendricks.

A Nov. York dispatch this morning
givesds TO understand that the difficulty
in the way Of an understanding between
Tilden and Hendricks is believed to be
insuperable. Hard money and soft money
oil and water-cannot mix. This New
York dispatch agrees so well with spec.
ial in yesterdays Cincinnati Ga:ette that
we arc inclined to attach. good deal oi
importanceto II. It is as follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July l6.-Govern'
or Hendricks arrived home this morning
from Saratoga, but absolutely declined
10 be interviewed concerning his visit
there, and his conference with Tilden
He said that his visit had no particular
Significance, and that the only thing that
transpired was the official notification o.
his nomination by the subcommittee. In
reply to the QueBtion, "When will your
letter be submlitcdP he answered:
"Ju,t as soon as can give 1t a little attention,
10 any event, certainly not before Mr. Tilden ha
made known his sentiments 10 the committee; thA
will bO In eightOe len days. Mr. Tllden told mi
that he hid some other matters 10 dSpoSa betOEt
communicating his Intention. When he doe,
So and Il bccomtI proper for me 10 spak, shal u.
From his manner ofspeaking Of the In
terviCw between himself and Tilden, the
reporter could not help being impressed
with the fact that the mention OF il did
not call up the pleasantest memories IN
the mind Of our noble peace. Governor,
and that II was on account OF this sour
recollection that he refused to talk.
By comparing our New York dis
patch with the above, it will be seen
that the two compare very closely. There
isnO doubt thata vide, II not an irrecOn'
eilable discrepancy exists between Tilden
and Hendricks on the currency question
Tildcn feels the necessity for outbiddlng
Hayes letter OF acceptance for the sup
port Of the East, while Hendricks knows
that what will make tho ticket strong In
New York will kill II In Indiana. The
two nominees are therefore between fire
and water to know whatto do. Neither
can go with the other, The St. Louis

Estimated.
OF the total Of Sl75,7sO,OOO of specie
held by tho three banks in 1864, not over
80 per cent was gold, as it is we'll known
that not more than one.third OF the
amount held by the Bank OF France was
gold, while it is believed that scarcely any
Of that held by the Bank Of Germany was
gold. But at present it is also well
known, from recent official statements oi
the President OF the Bank Of France,
that at least so per cent OF the total
$39G,OOO,OOO Of specie held by the
three banks is gold. Here, then, is
an accumulation OF a hoard Of nearly
$5OO,OO0,OOO Of gold that has been With
drawn from the channels OF circulation
and boarded. II should not, however, be
assumed that il has taken nearly twelve
years to accumulate this hoard. France
took the frststeps in that direction about
1865. By this, Germany was ina meas,
ure forced into it in 1871, and England
has been forced to tollew their example
because she saw that in their contest ,fol
the financial supremacy OF Europe they
were practically making n corner on th'
gold market Of the world. France hal
