The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Gazette says: r. II. Dana has written
to bis friends in Washington. that he does not
think it is at all necessary that he should come
to Washington to vindicate his character be-
fore the foreign relations committee after the
Senate has confirmed E. G. Billings as Judge
Darslls.saecessor. Mr.. Dana's friends do not
tbink be needs the endorsement Of; sgah body
to give him character, or shield him From the
enmity Of one Bsojsmin F. Butisr.* IF the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations is
controlled by Butler, Mr.. Daas's, friends do
not wish favorable report on the nomination
OF Minister to England. Neither do his friends
think i, would add to bis honor to gain. . WIG:
tory of William Beach Lawrence. The time
has come when 90 respectable gentleman in the
Republican party cares to be nominated for an
Office requiring the Senate's consent, and it Is
suggested BY number ofiohueotlal gentlemen
that to save President Grants embarrassment
in sending to the Senate names OF worthy men,
he had better employ Butler as special COUNSEL,
or give him seat in the Cabinet. The foreign
relations committee are anxious to have Mr..
Dana appear, but he does not intend to CRAFTY
them. He has no ambition to succeed the most
extraordinary poker player.

the exposure of raseaity ih high places,

are the natural product of a healthy reac-

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.-When the
noble ship drops anchor in a port Of salty a
feeling of gratitude fills the hearts of all on
board. The staunch vessel and skillful
seamanship that have brought them safely
through danger fills the mind, and that Di-
vine hand that has kept a faithful watch
over both, is recognized. To say that the
good ship has breasted the storm and out
rode the gale, has finished its work and
should be dismantled in the harbor it has
reached, would call forth aprotest OF earn
est indignation. a1- 2 atfi - 3
The same figure may beused in regard to
the Republican party. 1t has brought its
precious freight, the liberties of people
and the life of nation, safely through the
the storms and tempests of a protracted
voyage. A thousand tongues have spoken
its praise. A whole nation has united in
uttering thanks to Providence that guided
it through the fiery trials of thepast fifteen
years. Base, indeed, must be that citizen
who, in the face of dangers overcome, and
the triumphs won for justice and humanity
can say that its work is finished, and that
the nation saved through its fidelity needs
its services no longer.

silver Change.

The work of getting the silver coins into
circulation in plaee. of the fractional cur
rency was begun on Thursday of last week,
and the kindIiness with which the people
take to it was illustrated in Chicago BY a
demand upon the sub Treasurer largely in
excess of his silver resources. There was
stock Of $85, 900 on hand, and it was en-
tirely exhausted, with demand for more.
1t is probable that the demand in other
cities was Just as large. There will be no
difficulty in substituting the silver coin for
shinplastes, and it can be done as rapidly
as the Government can issue it. But it is
likely that there viii be q, serious difficulty
in keeping the silver in circulation. 1t is
safe to say that, while $40, O00. 900 in ffae-
tional currency was found to;be ample for
! the necessities Of the country in small
change, it viii require at least 800, 900, 900
in silver coins to take IFS place; and if Com
gress shall restrict the Secretary Of the
Treasury in the issue Of silver to the
amount Of outstanding fractionals,. there
will probably be serious and embarrassing
