THE NATIONAL TREASURY now holds
oyer $12, 900, 600 Of silver coin. The pres
ent market value of silver as to gold is
not higher than the value Of greenbacks.
Why, then, should not the fractional
currency be redeemed by silver coin, it.
self being tractionali The Secretary Of
the Treasury has been understood as
saying that the time of redemption
would be kept secret. Wherefore, who
can tell? Also that he has intimated
some doubt about the law Of redeeming
the fractional currency in coin, for the
reason that each fractional note declares
that 1t is Interchangeable for U. 5.
notesn when presented in sums of not
less than So. 1t is true that the frac-
tional currency does not contain an abb
solute promise to pay" the fractional
parts OF dollar; though it declares
these fractional notes to be exchange
able for U. S. notes, when presented in
sums not less than So, and receivable
for all dues to the Government of less
than So, except for customs. But surely
this ought not to be alleged as reason
for refusing redemption Of this currency

silver remain on hand unused.

IT WILL be remembered that Mr.. Gree
ley went up into the Northwest to make
agricultural speeches just before the
meeting of the National Convention that
nominated him for President. Now, Mr..
Hendricks is gone into the Southwest on
the same mission, just before the meet
ing of the Convention which he hopes
will nominate him for the same position.
But, beyond that, MIR. Hendricks is prob.
ubly not anxious that his fate shall be
the parallel of poor Greeley's. To be
safe, better keep off the track.

THAT portion of the public press which
tried and convicted Babcock as soon as
the indictment was found, without wait
ing for testimony, and without consult
ing Court or jury, are not happy. They
still hold him convicted and denounce
him accordingly. This is all wrong. All
that Babcock can be convicted OF was
for being found in bad company, al
though he might not have known it. But
those editors who have sent him to the
pententiiary for that, have probably
somewhat exceeded the limits of theil
Jurisdiction.

CHICAGO has been circulating story
TO the effect that the Cincinnati Hotel
proprietors intend to charge $S3 per day,
and board and lodging extra, during the
Convention season, in order to get the
National Executive Committee to
change the place Of holding the Conven-
tion from Cincinnati to Chicago. There

THE Prince Of Wales doesn't like re-
porters around when he goes out hunt

hunt was arranged. Reporters were
excluded by semi-royal order. One of
the "Bohemians," however, succeeded
in eluding the guards, and the whole af-
fair was telegraphed the London press.
lie managed to be present by shaving
his head, biackening his face and body,
putting silver ring through his nose
and jute string around his loins. Thus
clad III the robe of Indian innocency he
became member of the Princes escort,
and witnessed the whole hunt. He
hasn't got the India ink off of his coun-
tenance and corporation yet.

IT Is now reported that Babcock will
"stick," and not Resign his position of
