The silver Question.

NEW YORK, April 30th.-The Times
says it is clear that a blunder has been
made in getting silver money into cir
culation. There is danger of trouble
unless something is done at once to
clear the channel for silver to flow in.
The constantly increasing amount of
silver change is boarded and frac-
tional currency is also boarded, to OBJ
tain silver by means of it. The scare
ity of small change in this city in
creases every twenly-four hours. Sill
yer change and fractional currency
are at a premium, because they are
scarce, and as the Treasury has the
power to make either more plentiful
1t should use that power at once.
More Corruption.
New YORK, April 29.-The Worlds

office Of the Treasury Department
which show Senator Morton In all un-

THESE Medicines, which are becoming so
] popular In the Southern portion of this
State, are simply beating down all prejudice
and opposition as regards their efficacy here,
as they have been doing In San Francisco and
other places. BY their virtues, their irrefrag-

the most incredulous are at once shorn of
their doubts. Those who have dreaded and

PrOfc ssCr Huxley On the Political
Future of the United States.

In his speech at the opening of the
Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore,
September 12th. Professor Huxley. after
| referring 10 the material resources of the
United States, said:
To what purpose will you put this
great material wealth and this vast
amount OF human intelligence and ca
pacity which is among you to deal with?
The question is one which seems to ME.
| no man has chance of answering with
the remotest probability at the present
moment. You are undertaking the
greatest political experiment that has
ever been performed by any people
whatever. You are at this present CEN
tenary nation of forty million of peo-
pie. At your next centenary rational
and probable expectation may look to
see you two hundred millions, and you
have before you the problem whether
two hundred millions of Eng!ish-speak
ing, s;ropg willed people will be able to
hold together under the form of Repub-
lican institutions and under the real
despotis,n of universal sutferage "a
burst of laughter;) whether State rights
will hold their own against the necessary
Capitalization of great nation if it is to
act as a whole, or whether cant,aliza-
ton will gain the day without breaking
down Republican institutions. The
territory You cover is as large as Europe,
as diverse i'll climate as England and
Spain, as France and Russia, and You
have to see whether with the diversity
of interests, mercantile and others
which arise under these circumstances,
national ties will be stronger than the
tendency to separation; and as you grow,
more people and the presence of pop
ulation makes Itself manifest, the spec
tor Of pauperisM viii STALK among YOU,
and you will be very unlike Europe if

great yoHr shame and :our misery if

strong conviction that the key to success
the essential condition TO success, is ona
and one only; that II rests entirely upon
the intellectual clearnesS and upon the

Education cannot give intelle ctual clear

Murder isa = Church.

Louisville. Oct. 1.-THE Evening
| News has special from Mount Wash
ington, Kentucky, which gives the fol-
lowing account of murder in church
during last Sun lay evening: sam. Bur
kett, colored. entered an African church
under the influence Of liquor. William
Barnes. on elder. asked him to leave
when Burkett answered, "You and your
church can 90 to hell Barnes asked
for repetition of the remark, and, re-
ceiving such. shot Burkett through the
heart and then escaped.
We are left quite in the dark as to
whether the weapon used in this case be-
lopeed to the regular church armory or
was Elder Barnes own. There is some
lack Of organization of church machin-
cry in Kentucky, aud it is not impossible
that the elder was obliged to furnish his
own pistol. The probability is, also.
that the Derringers and revolvers worn
by the rest Of the congregation. even the
choir and Sabbath school children, were
private property. 1t is usual in such
cases, however, for the church author
tiles. the vestry or the board of elders,
or tue synod. as the case may be, to fur
nish the pulpit with shotgun and
keep it in such a place ard condition as
that it may be within easy reach of the
pastor. This is q custom from which no
properly constituted Kentucky church
ever deviates. The prompt and effective
retaliation visited upon this profane
and insulting colored man illustrates
the advantage of having the elders
effectively equipped ard of tltis being
aiive to the duties of their office jus.
Why Mr.. Barnes should deem it ncces-
sary to escape we are at loss to Under
stand. VIVA, does the church expect its
elders to DO with their pistols if they do
not use them? And is a man to be &c
barred from killing drunken black
man simply because lie is in church:
Shat other recourse had Mr.. Barnes
han to xiii this intruder? Was be 20
shi,k lis duties and leayc the killing OF
Burke,t to the preacher or the presiding
elder? Il is fallacy 20 plead that Barnes
is himself colofed man-if, indeed. he
is: for there can he no good reason why
the coiored people should not Kill one

main fight. the fight which involved the
so called moral effect" OF an October
election; but we have greatly reduced
the Democratic msiority OF 1874 and
gained four Congressman. The defeat
of Holman. the longtime Democratic
Congressman from the Fifth District is
sery signal victory. So far as the
~ciual. substantial spells are concerned,
the Republicans are far ahead of their
antagonists. We take large majority
