The Presidents Charges Against Bris.
New YORK, July lathe KhrahFs Wash
ington special says the President is profound
ly convinced that he was the victim of cons
siderable treachery in his Cabinet. He is
persuaded that Bristow, while procuring the
conviction of the Western whisky thieves, in
which it is asserted he had always the coun>
tcnance of his chief, used every opportunity
to cast dangerous and unjust suspicious upon
the motives and course of the President
that while one eye of Bristow was fixed upon
the public service, the other was fixed upon
the President. The charges against Bristow
are that he filled the offices with his devoted
personal followers, and advanced his person
al fortune at Grants expense. Grants friends
claim that BristOw's reputation with the pub
lie is undeserved; that he is a person of no
ability; that he is ignorant of public affairs;
that he is merely good detective officer,
and is man of inscriptions personal ambi .
ton, which he attempted to crafty by basely
allowing his followers to attack and under
mine the character and fair fame Of his chief,
who raised him out of obscurity, and whom
he ought to have sheltered against attacks.
Decline In silver,
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Linderman, direc-
tor of the mint, speaking of the rapid de-
cline in silver, says 1t has now reached
point where France, Belgium, Switzerland
and Italy must either shoulder the German
surplus OF silver or prepare to abandon the
double standard and adopt q purely gold cur.
rency. The reason is that silver is more val
liable in those countries where it is used as
currency than where it has been dcmOne
tized, and it will irrcsistibly flow to those
countries where it commands the highest
price. Should the United States at this time
return to the double Standard. it would be
placed in the same embarrassing position
which France now holds. If the nations
which still maintain the double standard
continue to adhere to it, the gold they now
have in circulation will disappear and be
thrown in large quantities upon the English
and other markets, including the United
States. This would tcnd strongly to restore
equitability between the two metals through
out Europe. If the United States adhercs to
the present policy, the great decrease In the
value OF silver may, by causing On accumu.
lation of gold in England and this country,
make it easier than it otherwise would have
been for the United States to resume specie
payments On the LIST of January, 1879, or ut
some subsequent date not far in the future.
Belief that tho Military Authorities
Underrate their work.
CHICAGO, July 15-'rhe Times Bismarck
special says the impression prevails here that
the military authorities do not realize the
work they have to do. The Indians in the
hostile camps are believed to number 10000,
while there are many women and children.
nearly all of whom are effective in campaign.
There are certainly from five to seven thOus
and Indians who can and will fight until sub
dued, and the fate of Custer should be a
warning that they intend to make thorough
work, and have confidence in their ability to
do it. There is little uneasincss among cit
liens east of the Missouri river, though they,
Us well as most of the military posts, arc
without sufficient protection. should the In
dams determine to raid that locality. The
so-called- forts on the upper Missouri are
mere posts or collection of cheap frame
buildings, in every instance destitute of earth
