sort of radical to suit those grim,
silent, sincere Republicans who be-
lieved the war a dispensation of
Gods providence to destroy slavery
for that is precisely what Bristow
thinks. There is nothing of the
Andrew johnson about him. He is
temperate in his language, earnest in
his beliefs. We respect HIM as a
gentleman, trust him as a man, and
utterly, totally, thoroughly, absolute
ly disbelicve in HIM as a politician.
His very moderation is a guarantee
to the Republicans, as it is danger
and menace to the Democrats"

The case of Mr.. Blaine and the
$64, 900 bond transaction was invest

of the House, on Monday last. Har.
rison, his original accuser, Tom Scott,
Rollins, Treasurer of the Pacific
Railroad Company, and Jas. F. Will
son, Of this State, were examined,
the bottom facts reached, and these
establish the indubitable flct that
Mr.. Blaine had nothing to do with
the bonds.

The slowness with which silver
change has been got into circulation,
has caused great Inconvenience and
complaint. 1t is only issued in re-
dcmption of fractional currency, or
scrip, and the process is necessarily
slow. In order to relieve the situa-
ton, little over week since, Mr..
Payne, a Democratic member Of the
House, from Ohio, introduced a bill
authorizing the issue of ten millions
of silver change in exchange for
grcenbacks, the latter to be reissued
after an equal amount of fractional
scrip had been destroyed. 1t would
seem that this reasonable proposition,
in view of the actual necessity for
something Of the kind to relieve the
embarrassmcnts of business, should
have been adopted. The vote on it
was, yeas 1873, nays 10, but the ma
jority not being two-thirds, it failed.
Those voting in the minority were
almost exclusively Democrats, and
we find at the head of the list, the
name Of our member, Mr.. Ainsworth.

The Iowa Democratic State Con
vention met at Des Moines on Wed
nesday. There was pretty full at
tendance of delegates, though only
IS of the 80 counties of the State
were represented. After protracted
debate it was finally decided to hold
two State Conventions, and to only
elect delegates to the National Con
vention at this time. The platform,
beside the usual and time worn in
dlctment against the Republican
party, contains a resolution upon the
financial issue, in the following
words:
Resolred, That inasmuch as gold is the
recognized standard of values throughout
the world, and furnishes the basis for gen.
eral trade and commerce, we favor an
carly return to specie payment, because it
will place the business interests of the
country on sure and satisfactory basis
secure us from the uncertainty attending
the existence of two money mediums Of
unequal value. At tile same time we be-
lieve that the forced and sudden resump-
ton of specie payment, such as is contem.
plated by the so called "Sherman Resump.
ton Act of '75," will spread widespread
disaster and ruin to our business interests,
has had and is now having blightlng
effect upon all industry, and being one of
the many blunders of the Republican
party should be repealed.
Which is Q curious mixture of cor
rect theory and buncombe.
The interest of the Convention,
however, was centered in the selcc-
ton of delegates to the st. Louis
Convention. The strife for places
was spirited and eager, and the result
as follows:

One of the events of current inter-
est during the past week, was the
conference of Liberals, held at New
York, on Monday and Tuesday, pur-
suant to an invitation issued some
weeks since by Carl Schurz, William
Cullen Bryant, and other gentlemen
identified with the Greeley movement
of four years ago. The number
present was about three hundred,
among whom we find the names of a
number of men of recognized emin-
ence in the walks of literature, states
manship, divinity, &c. The express
ed object of the gathering was to
confer upon the existing political sit
uation, and to do whatever might be
possible to secure the nomination OF
pure and honest men by the existing
political parties. The result of the
meeting was the issuance of an ad-
dress to the people of the United
States, an imperfect synopsis of which
we find in the telegraphic report Of
the Dubuque papers of Wednesday.
Whatever may be thought Of the
general drift Of this address, or Of
the character of the movement that
prompted it, or of the records, politi-
cal wisdom, consistency, or capacity
for leadership of the authors of it,
we think very few will quarrel with
the sentiments of the following ex-
tract, or fail to see that it embodies
the demand of the hour, a demand
that no party can safely disregard or
repudiate:
No candidate should be held entitled to
the support of patriotic citizens Of whom
the question may fairly be asked, Is he
really the man to conduct thorough 60
| ing reform Of the government? Can he
certainly be depended on to possess the
moral courage and sturdy resolution to
grapple with abuses which have acquired
the strength of established custom, and
to this end firmly to resist the pressure
even of his party friends?" Whenever
there is room for such questions, and
doubts as to the answer, the candidate
should be considered unfit for the emer-
gency This is no time for availability.
We want no passive virtue in high places.
1t encourages the growth Of vice.
The coming President must deserve not
only honest mems confidence, but the
hatred of thieves. His name must be u
watch-word of reform. He must have
capacity and courage for the work as a
matter of record rather than of promise.
His life must have been guaranty of his
fidelity and fitness. At the sound of his
name the most disheartened will take
courage, and all mankind say, "Ameri-
cans are indeed in earnest to restore the
ancient purity of their government"
The address closes with the decla.
ration that those who issue it are not
ambitious to found a new party, but
that they will gladly support reform
through existing parties, but in any
event will insist on it.
The conference refused to express
its choice for President, though
Charles Francis Adams in speech
which was warmly applauded, said
that Mr.. Bristow was his first choice,
and after him Tilden.

BY American Press Association to the STAR.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The Commit.
tee appointed to Investigate the affairs
OF the Government Insane Asylum have
completed their report, and will present
it to Congress at an early day. So far
as the charges Of the maltreatment of
the inmates are concerned the Com nit
tee unanimously exonerate DR.. Nichols,

however, severely condemn the Board
of Police Commissioners, OF which DIR.
Nichols is member, for turning patients
loose in the wilds Of Maryland.
The Testimony of Biuford Wilson
before the Whisky Frauds investigation N
Committee promises to cause an endless
mass, as it Is said that the President
has expressed determination to either
make a written statement or appear
voluntarily before the Committee and
testify. This, it is said, will necessitate
Ex-Secretary Bristow's taking the
stand, and perhaps several other wit
nesses. Bluford Wilson will appear be-
fore the Committee again on Tuesday.
His friends predict that II the cross.ex-
animation is properly conducted more
startling evidence Will be adduced than

1t is understood that the President has
asked for the resignation OF Supervising
