On Thursday morning, at TO-

their views on this subject in tho

While the Chairman was calling
tho Convention to order, . vonsra-

Here the unselfsh patriot from

him. He turned red, hesitatsd,
and hung his head sheepishly.

promised : Consulship TO the man

MuEEUsuY CHANGES,

The action of the German Federal Coun-
Gil ia placing before the Reichstag bill
amending the coinage law of July 8, 1873,
relating to the one thaler coinages. is at
tracing general attention among the finaH-
ciers and mine owners Of California and
Nevada as having a direct bearing upon
cheapening the price of silver in this coun-
try. By the amendment referred to the
Federal Council is authorized TO determine
that the one thaler pieces, as also the con-
vention thalcrs coined IN Austria up TO the
close OF the year 1867, are to pass current
until their withdrawal only in place of
Imperial silver money at the rate of three
marks per thaler; such regulation to be
published in the Imperial book Of laws,
and only to come into force, at the soonest,
three months after publication. The effect
of this amendment in Germany will be that,
by putting the thaler on an equal footing
with the new Imperial coins, the acceptance
Of thaler pieces becomes limited to twenty
marks, and the entire withdrawal of two
thaler pieces may very soon be expected to
take place. At the same time the gold stand
ard, which Germany has endeavOred to carry
into effect, but thus far unsuccessfully, be-
comes an established fast in that Empire.
In the meantime the French Govern
ment is being strongly urged to adopt the
single gold standard, and Russia in the re-
sumption of specie payments has in view
the adoption Of the same standard. The
result of these changes will be to place
upon the market an immense supply of
silver bullion, which will greatly cheaper
IFS price. For some time pas! silver has
held its own at the rate of 563 pence per
ounce, fine, British standard. Within the
past two weeks it has declined to 56f pence,
and was quoted in New York yesterday at
S1.22 per ounce, fine. The relation be
tween silver and gold is now 16 0 to 1, with
a prospect at an early day of still further
change in the relative value of the two
metals. The question of substituting sill
yer coin for the fractional currency derives
additional importance from the fact that
the Government will soon have an oppor-
tunity 10 purchase silver at even more
favorable rates than heretofore paid for
that metal.
National Republican., 1876-01-05
THE pEMoCRACY AND STATE Rights.

Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, intends,
it is said, to introduce some resolutions IN
the United States Senate, declaratory of
the character Of the Federal Union, and
explanatory of the relation between the
States and the General Government
These resolutions have been published,
and the first four are a mere rehash of the
old Democratic ideas of State rights. This
was to be expected, as Senator Mcdonald
Eeiongs to the fossil school of politicians,
and il would have been as wise TO have ex-
pected anything like a liberal or pro-
gressive construction of the Constitution
from him as it would be to expect vitality
to revisit, flesh to clotbe and motion to re-
turn TO the skeleton of one of the probos-
cidIan pachyderms, whose bones have
been 0Xhumed from the wreck of another
world. But the fact that q Presidential
election is near by has caused glimmer
of common sense 10 penetrate even into the
dsrkened recesses of a thoroughly Demo
cratic brain, and the result was the fifth
resolution offered by Senator Mcdonald,
that reads as follows:
" "Resoired, That it being the design to make
the Government formed under the Federal
Constitution perpetual, the right of any State
or any number of States to secede from the
Union was not reserved, So far as the right
has been claimed TO exist, it should be deemed
forever settled against it by the results of the
late civil war"
We doubt whether this was the result of
the Senator's unaided efforts, and rather
incline to the opinion that it was incubated
ct o joint meeting OF the Democratic Sena-
tors, and from its nature might properly be
ciassed among those things which are des-
ignated as clubs to catch whales in other
Words, it is bait thrown out by the Dem

derful degree. The young mans father
threatens TO disinberit him if he does not
leave the church, and, as the Sun expresses
it, ''return to the service Of the devil"
But the most unaccountable part of it is
the fact that the Sun, the leading organ on

inexperienced and incompetent men to
Congress, and is one which the public will
soon learn to regret
