ALBANY. Juiy 81.
GENTLEMEN: When had the honor
to receive II personal delivery of your
letter on behalf of the Democratic
National Convention, held on the 2Sth
of Juue at st. Louis, advising HE Of
INV nomination as the candidate of the
constituency represented by that body
for the once of President of the United
States, | answered that at my earliest
convenience, and in conformity with
usage, | would prepare and transmit to
you formal acceptance. l now avail
myself of the first interval in unavOid-
able occupations to fulfill that engage
ment. The Convention, before max
ing its nomination, adopted declar-
ation of principles which, as whole,
seems to NE wise exposition of the
necessities of our country, and of the
reforms needed TO bring back the Gov
ernInent to its true functions, to restore
to the the purity of the Administration,
and 10 renew the prosperity of the peo-
Die: but some of these refOrmers are
so urgent that they claim more than a
passing approval The necessity of a
reform in the scale of public expense.
Federal, State, and municipal, and the
modes of Federal taxation justifies all
the prominence given to il in the dec
laration of the st. Louis Convention.
The present depression in all business
and industries of the people, which Is
depriving labor of its employment and
carrying want into so many homes has
its principal cause in the excessive Gov
ernmental consumption. Under the
illusions of specious prosperity en-
geDdered by false policies of the Fed
eral Government, q waste of capital
has been going on ever since the peace
of 1865 which could only end in uni

The action of the majority Of the

a whit less infamous. In justice i; must
he said that a portion Of the Democrats
proved By their votes. that justice and
honor were higher Consultations with

them on the committee that investigated
the case, voted with their Republican
associates in favor Of giving the seat to
Mr.. Plltt to which he was clearly enti-
tied; but the Recommendation of a ma
orltv were ignored on the final vote
These are the patriots who fill the count

patriotic grOans at its mdone condition
because of radical misrule and partizan-
ship.
y feeling OF hoplessneSs relative to the
Appropriation bills has taken the place of
the bright anticipations of an immedi-
ate compromise adjournment. No pro-
greSs has been made during the week
past; and at the lust report of a disagree
ment upon the consular and diplomatic
bill, III the Senate it was suggested that
no further effort he made A new COM
mittee was, however appointed after a
warm discussion. The Senate Commit
tee proposed to acquiesce in the reduced
salaries if the House would rccede from
It's proposed new legislation; but these
Confederate gentlemen declined.
Amid all the discussion that has been
provoked upon the proposition to restore
the legal tender feature of the silver, it
has been make apparent that large ma
lorty Of people, usually well informed,
knew nothing about the act of 1873 an
nulling the legal tender feature of silver.
Should an opportunity occur to bringup

it would pass both House and Senate,

been quite a revolution in the minds
Of those in as well as those out of
Congress. 1t has at last been decided in
Democratic caucus to instruct the Com
mittcc on Banking and Currency 10 re-
port a bill repeating the clause of the
Resumption act which fixes the date for
resumption. But much doubt is CX-
pressed whether even this will move this
Obdurate committee to action. Senator
Logan has made repeated attempts to
call up the equalization bounty bill,with-
out success; but his well known perse-
verence may accomplish it before adj
journment is reached. The river and
harbor bill has been sent. t.back to the COM
mittee by the Senate with instructions
to cut down the appropriations to sum
not to exceed $5O00O0O. 1t is generally
conceded that it will be vetoed, should it
reach the President. Democrats are
waiting with hated breath to hear from
the conference between Tilden and Hen
dricks; and they do not attempt to dis
guiSe the fact that Tilden's failure to in
augurate an aggressive campaign" as
promised, has depressed and demOraliz-
ed the whole party. MAXWELL

THE SILVER QUESTION.

The Dayton Journal has the follow
ing very sensible remarks Ou the silver
question. We notice that Thurlow
Weed holds about the same opinion:
1.-The silver question has already de-
veloped its own peculiar literature, and
as might have been expected, there is
vast deal Of nonsense uttered OH both
sides. II it be urged that we are to
have silver and paw debss in il simply
because it is cheap, then the gold men
are right in denouneing the scheme as
silly and dishonest. The real, the
honest reason why We should have the
old silver dollar IS, that 1Cds tie can
tract. 1t was not the contract that
greenbacks were to be a permanent
currency, or gold an exclusive one !;
the Constitution did recognize silver
from the first and did not recognize
paper But incidentally il may be
shown that the use of both metals
tends to steadiness and prevents vio-
lent fluctuations in either 1t further
appears that through all recorded time
the value of the two metals, though
constantly changing, has changed so
slowly that it made no practical differ
ences in contracts whiah had but twen
ty or thirty years TO run. Thus, while
the two together do not constitute an
absolutely perfect standard of values,
(there is no such Standard, yet they
come so near it that practically little
or no loss results.
But to this general rule history
shows two or three important excep-
tions. Three time within 4, ,0O0 years
has one or the other of the precious
metals increased so suddenly as to
lower its value relative to the other.
In the year 1851 gold was so cheap
ened that an ounce of it was only equal
to two ounces OF silver About the
time Carthage was destroyed gold was
considerably cheapened, standing only
one to nine of silver. But for the past
three hundred years the ratio has rare
ly risen above or fallen below fourteen
or fifteen of silver to one of gold; and
there j. every reason to believe that
the present decline in silver is unnatu
rally great, and that it will soon ad-
vance, not indeed 10 the ratio of four
sixteen to one. This Is decline from
natural an Ultimate causes. rs mnch
80 as II decline in pork or wheat, and
either party to Il contract has the moral
right To take advantage of it.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. Sd, 1876.
What with the silver legal-tender ex-
element, the Bluford Wilson sensation,
the Robson investigation business, the
hot blood generated by the hopeless con-
dition Of appropriation bills, and the
Platte-Goode contested election case

come to the front and clear up what has
become matter of absorbing public in

situations that have from time to time
been thrown out by him and his friends
Should he still refuse to enlighten the pub
notwithstanding the Presidents letter
releasing him from all obligations of Sc
cresy, the. verdict will be against him,
Judging fran the temper displayed here;
and if Mr.. Wilson thought to establish
his character as "reformer," having Il
supcrabmdance of gratitude towards
the patron who lifted him from obscurity
TO some prominence us n Government
official, he has signa!ly failed, judging
from the same point of observation
The impression has been running for
some time that the President has been
designedly and rersistently misrepre-
scnted and wounded without a cause,
and there is disposition manifested by
leading Republicans to continue investi-
cations until every one f>Hcened shall
have been made to occu, their posi-
ton.
Our Democratic rcformers are Just a
little restless and uneasy lest their ma
iignantly partizan course towards Secre-
tary Robson should react upon their
own party. The action of the majority
of the Naval Committee, during the sew
en- months of investigation has been
pretty thoroughly ventilated within the
past week in the House, and the vile in
strnments by which they sought to drag
down faithful and efficient public Off

HORACE MANN On DRAWING.



What was called Il love of knowl-
edge, was, in my time, necessarily
cramped into a love of books, because
there was no such thing rs oral in
structiou. Books designed for chill
dren were few, and their contents mea-
gre and miserable. by teachers were
very good people but they were very
poor teachers. Looking back to the
school-boy days of my mates and my
self, cannot adopt the line of Virgil.

TO say that yOu We're instructed by

Z. Was it given TO you by these
eminent counsel!
A Mr.. Tilden, I kno,c. told me
that he regarded it as compliance

Mr. Cornelius s. Bushnell. another
OF the principal Credit Mobilier mana
gers, gave testimony page SCI of the
lawyers who had been consulted by
the Credit Mobilier Company, and
names Sam. j. Tilden.
The same witness, at pages 555 and
$50, is fecorded as testifying:
q. | will ask you question which
l asked Mr.. Alley. Do YOU know of
any legal advice having been taken by
the gentlemen engaged in this transac-
ton in reference to the question
whether these contracts and the taking
o. the stock under them, was a sub
stantial compliance with the provisions
of the law requiring the capital TO be
paid in cash?
A. | can answer that we were in
formed by the best legal talent, as we
supposed, that we could do so, and that
we were complying with the terms of
the law

safe course for us to adopt. l will

man who is now a judge of the Court
of Appeals in New York, William f.
Allen, advised us also to that effect.

From perusal of this testimony, it
must be confessed that Mr.. Tilden has

FORM" as he..modestly said to "a COM
mittee of gentlemen, a few days ago,
in New York. He ''re-formed' the
Union Pacific railrod company into the
most colossal piece of rascality known
to this century, and if he could once
get the government into his hands,
there is no telling what he might con-
vert it into. His inventive genius
would receive such stimulus that
''credit mobiliers" might be multiplied
all over the country, Ii will not do to
trust him TO reform" the government.
