The present price of silver in England

THE NEWS.

We have the usual amount of East.
ern d. patches this morning, contain
Ing I'll OF the latest important occur.
rences In that direction. The Louisi-
xna Returning Board denies the right
Of the Con 'ressionai Committee to In.
vestigats their work. This board must
be a law unto itself; it recognizes mono
other, il we are to judge from its de-
liant capers Of the last few weeks.
In South Carolina matters appear to
be tending in the direction Of Wade
Hampton's government. The Cham.
berlain crowd are wholly with
out funds, the Supreme Court
having restrained the State Treas
nrsr from the payment OF any
moneys ordered by this latter body.
Tho Court holds that Chamberlain
government is bogus and generally lille.
gal, while on the other hand the
Hampton Legislature has only tn
draw for any amount Of money re-
quired. This circumstance has a ten
dcncy to deniorsliza the other crew.
They will not remain long where there
Is no show of getting their per diem !.
In fact, desertious to tho Democratic
Legislature have already transpired.
and we shall not he surprised to zee
che whole batch 60 owe at an early day.
The question of money settles the whole
business. Wade Hampton will be in
auguratsd in 3 few days, when Cham
beriain will probably pack his carpet.
bag and leave.
Bland's Silver bill is attracting .
great deal Of attention in the East, and
most of the leading Journals seem de
terinined to oppose ii. Taking II for
granted that it will pass the House.
they assert that either tho Senate or
the President will give it its quietus.
We never expected much of that Sem
ate on the silver question anyhow.
The members, many OF them, are too
closely identified with the bondholders
and national banks. We can easily
imagine how II Is that Senator Jones

The Ti1den Dictation.

New York State is Mr.. Tilden's politi-
cal body guard His presidential aspi-
rations are especially chanpioned by the
New York Democracy. This State die
tated terms to the two last Democratic
Presidential nominating conventions and
the party lost the field Again this time
this same eastern wing of the party is to
push the claims of another pet chieftain
to the exclusion of other men whose in
huence and popularity are unquestiona-
bly, great. let Mr.. TiIden and his earn
est supporters know that locality is des
tined to play an important part in the ma.
ton convention of the Democratic party
He we'll knows that his views on the cur
Tency question are not accepted by West
ern Democrats. There is too much oi
the Wall street contraction selfshness il
his political makeup to make him popu
lar with the producing classes of the
South and West. There seems to be a
fatality attending the nominations made
by the Democracy of the Empire State.
Mcclellan in 1864, S ymour in 1868, and
Greeley in 1872 were all put forward by
New York and defeat came.
Let now this State cease taking such a
leading hand in Democratic nominations
For twelve years she dictated to our
overthrow and it may be that if she at
tempts another ruling we may share the
same fate. Mr.. Tilden May receive the
nomination Of the party at St Louis, but
that is far different from being elected.
His election in the event of being nomi-
mated depends upon conciliating the
West. There is much feverish unrest
and disquitude amongst the populations
of the great middle and west towards the
nntagonizing monopoly tendencies of the
east. The seeptre of party nomination
is no longer in the hands Of New York.
She may still claim this prerogative but
events of late years are contrary to the
assumption. We are satisfied of this,
that if the voters of the producing re-
gI0n of the country are not well repre-
scented on the ticket selected at St. Louis,
we fear it will inset the doom of the last
two Democratic nominations. The East
may have more financial capital than the
West bat it has no more moral force and
itellectual Etness. In the Mississippi
and Ohio valleys the strength of a giant
slumbers.
