THE CONFEDERATE DEA'
STRUGGLE.


The political views of a resident OF the
South are stated at length in letter re-
Gently received here, from which we are
permitted to make the following extract:
Il have lived in the South twelve years I;
have Travelled all over the country. and
1 have formed my views from actual OBJ
serva,iOn. / am forced to conclude that
the only hope for our country lies in the
continued success Of the Republican
party. The Southern political leaders
are still supreme in their power, al
though the progress of new ideas is
gradually undermining that power. This
has been accomplished solely by Repub-
licaG triumphs. The rank and file of
the Confederate army will repudiate
their fossil chieftains when they become
thoroughly satisfied that the last ray Of
hope for future success has departed.
The election of Hayes and Wheeler will
enforce conviction on this point on the
mind Of the most skeptical. This Is
doubtless u very truthful statement OF
the situation in Dixie. Our respected
Confederate friends admit that this is
their death struggle Col. Stone, late
of John MoIgaD's staff, prociaims the
fact: Col Ellis and Col. Blennerhasset.
Major White, Major Foote and Major
Stonehill and all the rest of the Colonies
and Majors Of the recent Confederate
Convention at Virginia City give silent
assent to the assertion. Let their de-
lusive hopes be crushed once and finally,
md the Lost Cause will remain lost and
no longer be struggled for

Alexander II. Rice has been renom
mated for Governor of Massachusetts
by the Republicans of that State. The
platform makes the following refer
ence to the st. Louis nominations:
Zone of them is an inflationist and the
other guilty of compromising his con-
victions to conciliate a class whose
heresies he knows would lead to iinan-
cial chaos, and is also the disciple of
that ultra school which, before the war,
admitted the right of State to secede.
and since the war denies the power of
the nation to protect the lives and
rights of its citiZens.'

THE POLITICAL ARCADIANS.

Our amnastied friends are disposed to
be exceedingly amisble. Ellis. though
covered with the glory Of Missouri
Copfed., is one of the modestest warriors
ever nominated by a grateful constis-
ueucv. The Duke of Wellington in the
mellowest days of his retirement was not
more epamored of the arts of peace than
he. His laurels rest lightly upon lis
heroic brow. Blepnerhasset no longer
provokes the imper,iaent query, who
Is Blennerhasse.?" He no more yields
the brand of war. He shines forth In "A
communication TO the Virginia Chron-
icle. His sword is beaten into most
docile and lamb-iike stylus-if a stylus
can be lamb like,-and We doubt not Ii
can. lii fact he has become SO aound-
antly peace-loying and peace-iiving'
that even his geography no longer
asserts itself. Not only does he know
no South or North, but he is quite
graciously ignorant OF any East or any
West. Al! that Is sectional has departed
out of the Colonel's vision, and he
dwells in the heart of a political Arcadia
attuning his his martial heart to the gen
tie airs of Reform. Truly Vslian!igham
died too soon. He should have lived 70
witness the soothing effects of his New
Departure, aud the bosom of amnesty.
The generous manner with which
BIeunerhasset a,ludes TO the gentlemen
Who are .too honorable to remember
his imperfect memory not only OF
geography bu, of his duties IS patriot,
is only eauslled by his gratitude to those
Who have taken him by the hand and
called him their long lost brother. When
We think of him as ho nobly portrays
himself, reclining, more or less grace
fully, and at full length or otherwise,
upOn the bosom of "a common mother
land" We only regret our inability to
reproduce in an adequate chromo-litho-
graph that touching spectacle. As the
matter now stands. the amnestied can
dida,e for elec.or surpasses in sublimity
of attitude the amnestied candidate for
Congress. Also he is in advance of him
in the matter of epis,olary eloquence and
q mild, inuocuous ignorance of the sharp
edges and sectional asperiiies of physical
and political geography.

him to address the citizens of Carson

silver Shipments to China.

Under The head of The Settlement q
Oriental Balances. the San Francisco
Bulletin of Sept says:
It is noticeable that the shipments OF
silver to China from this port have been
largely on the increase. The explain
ton probably is that silver Is so low III
price that every economy possible IN the
handling of it has become a necessity.
The English merchant is always IL debt
to the Chinese merchants. Our mer-
chants are always in debt to the English
merchant The metals with which the
English merchant settles up his ac-
counts in China is silver. That silver
was usually sent to him from this city
by rail to New York: thence by steamer
to Liverpool; thence by rail TO London !;
thence by overland mail to Hongkons.
This silver traversed hree-quarters OF
the globe before it reached It's destlna-
ton. Two months and more were con
sumed in the trip.
But all business OF this nature can be
more easily settled up by the shipment
of the silver from this port directly 10
China. The English merchant can
square his account with China by di-
recting his debtor here to ship silver
there. There is money saved III the
transportation; also by the reduction IN
the time consumed in the operation. Il
has long been the dream of San Fran
cisco that she is destined to superce de
London as the point FOR the settlement
of Oriental balances. Certainly the
facts have always been in her favor
p,, olj cboppa,S IF truGe are not easll,
changed. Some great Revision is
always needed to alter them. Perhaps
the fall in silver and the necessity OF
economising in every way III the hand
ling are bringing about ihe condition OF
exchanges which we claim to be the
true one.
So long as the old relations of the
metals were kept upit would naturally
flow along the Old channel, though that
involved circuit Of three-quarters OF
the circumference of the gtobe when
one quarter would have sufticed. Com
merce does not always on the instant
conservative to the last degIee, and
makes no ventures unit. it is perfectly
sure ii its footing. Even then there rs
needed al impulse to start 1t 10 IT'S he"
direction. 1t is not unlikely that the
fall in the price of silver, or the rise In
the price of gold, may have the effect OF
forcing the true lines of exchange with
reference to the settlement OF European
balances with the Orient, and that IN
the increased exportation OF silver to
China we have the beginning of the
movement

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY is delightfully."-
illustrated wherever it gets thorough
app,ication. The San Francisco Post
has found how it operates on the Mint
in that city. 1t says:
We get a glimpse of the true inward
ness of Democratic retreDchment and
reform. as practiced by the "COnfed
crate House," in the way in which the
San Francisco Mint is affected by the
wholesale cutting down of appropria-
tiou-, Just at the moment when All
unprecedented demand is made upon
it's capacity, it is seriously crippled 10y
the necessity of reducing the working
force and of cutting down the wages Of
skilled workmen below living figures.
ConcurrentIv with the passage of n
bill 10 utilize $40, 100000 of the silver
nrodlct OF the coast. tOngreSs de!iber-
aeiv embaraSse> the difficult opera
ton Of carrying the measure into ei-
fec: by voting Il wages appropriation
nearly twenty-five per cent under
what the mint authorities declare l.
absolutely necessary. 1t Is We'll
known that the rate OF compensation
paid to the skilled labor employed at
our minis has hitherto been consider
ably less than equitable. If now it is
to undergo a reduction OF fifteen per
cent, the probability is that much OF
the labor will be driven to seek more
reinunerative fields, and the difficulty
of replacing it will be great. This l.
the contingency which the mint an-
thorites especially apprehend. Jt
through the laundering stupidity and
false economy OF the Concentrate
House the mints shall be unable to
carry out the provisions Of the $50, 900
600 bill, the people of the Pacific
Coast, whose interests are 50 much
concerned in the success OF the meas
ure, will not be likely to forget T.
whom they are indebted for the fall
ure. Ifthe Director of the MINIS shat
see fit to take upon himself. however,
to create a deficiency in order tn per
form the requisite coinage, we think
he will he fully sustained by the Re
publican Congress that VIII IN al
