problems useful in navigation. The expense of learn

EX-SECRETARY McCULLocH has been
talking to the bank men, and saying many
good things. He believes that resumption on
the day fixed by law is easy and can be
brought about without embarrassment to
trade or general distress. His plan is to de-
prive the greenbacks of their legal quality
after January 1879, offering for them a per
cent. gold bond and compelling the banks to
retain the gold interest paid them on their
own bonds. With just pride he recalls his
Fort Wayne speech of October 1865, when he
predicted hollow prosperity followed BY dis
aster if the currency was not contrac ed to
its normal limits, and advocated the retire.
ment of the greenbacks because he did not con-
slider it the proper business of Congress TO
furnish the people with currency. Mr..
M MCuloch had also.something to say on silver,
arguing against the double standard, which,
he claims, works well nowhere. The depre.
citation OF silver he attributes to the demone-
tization Of that metal by Germany, and

The modern Greeks, uation of bIigands
on whom much sentiment has been wasted,
purpose to benefit themselves by taking adj
vantage of the difficulties of Turkey. They
ask for the island of Crete and for a rectifca-

a diplomatic term for robbery. As their
army only numbers twelve thousand men
they can do nothing for themselves, but rely
upon family influence, the Car beiog the

GEN. CHARLES w. TnDEN of Castine will
be candidate for assistant Secretary of the
Senate of Maine next winter The high rep
utation both military and civil, of Gen. Til
den, his exemplary character aud practical
efficiency justify warm and cordial support
of him on the part of all Republicans. He
will make a good assistant and, in process of
time, a good Secretary. He is preeminently
one of those men to whom ii is duty as we'll

The Democrats are doing lively son-in-
law business this campaign. Every few days
Democratic paper comes out with the an
nouncement that somebody's son.in-law is
going to vote for Tilden. Parke Goodwin,
who is something Of himself, and Nicholas
Smith, who is only something by marriage,
are most frequently quoted.

In Indiana a Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer,
Attorney General, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, four Judges, Clerk and Reporter
of the Supreme Court, Legislature and Coun-
ty officers, and thirteen members of Congress
are to be chosen. The Republican Guberna-
torial Candidate is Benjamin Harrison, the
Democratic James D. Williams. Until with
in few days the greenbackers have been
running State ticket headed by Anson Wal
colt. But he has now withdrawn in favor of
the Republican candidate, declaring that the
Democratic party has used the greenback
movement for its own purposes, keeping its
own ranks solid while seeking to effect d.
version of strength from the Republicans.
Some members of the Greenback State Com
mittee have nominated Judge Harrington in
his place; but it is claimed by others that the
action is unauthorized. The contest in the
State has been bitter one, and the chances
have been considered in favor of the Demo-
Gratis. The greenback split however has
changed the situation, and the claim is made
that Walcott's withdrawal will give the Re-
publicans 10000 additional votes. As Re-
publican and Democratic platforms both op-
pose the resumption act the greenback men
may be governed in their action by their
views On the other questions in the canvass.
But as the Democrats have carried the Octo-
Der election ever since 1868 their success this
year is probable. The Republicans will not
give up the State in November should to-
morrow's election go against them by
slender majority, for in 1872, Hendricks was
elected governor and the State cast its
electoral vote for Grant. The congressional
delegation now stands eight Democrats aud
five Republicans. The following are the
votes for past years:

PROTECTION REVIEWED.

Professor Sumner spoke on protection before tho
Free Trade Alliance yesterday at No. 43 Washington
square He said:-Thc argument for protection to
provide against the contingency OF has great popu
lar weight The policy and history Of tho United
States since 1916, however, afford striking common
tary on it. We have always kept our army down a
lttlo below the point of efficiency. We have grudged
the education OF few officers We have re-
duccd navy low that We hardly do
our share In the police of the ocean. We
pay little heed 10 fort dcations Yet we volunta
rily expose ourselves to loss greater than the
cost any armament out OF obedience this notion
OF providing for possible by Industrial restraints
Our popular orators formerly made much capital by
comparing expenditures for army, navy and for-
cations with those OF the old countries but they said
nothing Of this industrial loss incurred to the
end
The case OF the South during tho late is
most striking proof OF the fallacy OF the "indepen
dcpce doctrine. The South had less OF this artificial
independence than any country In the world. II

force, and what happcneds First people found that
when they had put their last stake war; they could
do without thousands OF things which had seemed cs

shifts take the place of real csscnals third they
found that 20 long as they had commodities TO cx-
change which the rest OF the world wanted, no power
could prevent the exchange from going on.

Lloyd King, who is inmate Of the Auburn
Asylum for the Insane, TO which place she was
mtted in tho fall OF 1s5a The letter. which is dated
December, 1875, evidently smuggicd out OF the
asylum. In it she says-ssl am charged with homi-
