THE OPPONENTS OF PEACE.

The settlement of the Southern question
upon an assured and permanent basis will
crafty good citizens of all parties. There has
been from the beginning but one way out of
the difficulties with which the subject has
been environed, and that was the plain and
simple way President Hayes has now
adopted to cease interference by the
Federal Government and let the States
of the South govern themselves Ike
all other members of the Federal Union.
No one, not even the caipet-baggers Oh the
Spencer and Patterson sort, or the rhetorical
slapc-whangers like Wendell Phillips, has ever
disputed the fact that in the end 1t must come
TO this: that any other plan as permanence
would be contrary to the spirit of our instltu-
tions and the letter of our laws. When we
have turned over the reins OF government
in the disturbed States to the people OF
those States and frankly left them to their
own devices, we have settled the whole
business. We do not require the afidavits
of interested parties, or guarantees for
public order, or bonds for good behavior from
the ruling classes. All these things will in due
time adjust themselves by natural laws and
from natural causes. There is 10 reason to
doubt that in a very little time South Caro-
lima and Louisiana will settle down into peace
and quiet, and the reign of law and order sue
coed the condition of confusion and anarchy
from which both States have been sufferers
Ana this state of affairs we say will be re-
garded with great sense OF satisfaction and
relief by all well disposed persons of both
parties. 1t is what has been long and ear
nestly desired by good citizens at the North no
| less than at the South. But it is well to bear
in mind that such an adjustment is contrary
to the interests of a considerable number of
persons who are increasingly active in polit-
! zeal management, and not without influence
in parties. Their opposition to what they
call very questionable experiment may as
well be expected. They view the whole scheme
with great jealousy: as why should they not,
since its success and the restoration of all the
States to actual equality in the Union take
away from many of these gentlemen their &C.

Il will be great thing gained il Secretary
Sherman is able to accomplish the results that
are desired without exciting needless alarm or
prejudice.
We have already urged the Secretary to con-
slider well the proprlety of gradually withdraw
ing the smaller notes from circulation. This
change he can make without alarming any
body, and with greater or less rapidity as cir
cumstances prompt, and it's effect in preparing
the country for resumption cannot be over
estimated If the paper circulation were all OF
one denomination it is difficult to see how the
contraction necessary to provide for the
free circulation of specie could possibly
be effected without great and prolonged
distress. But it is not difficult, by
withdrawing first the smaller notes, to Gre
ate a vacuum into which coin will flow, and
thus to bring coin into use gradually side by
side with the notes of other denominations yet
unretired. For this important step the Secre-
tary has unlimited power already, and 1t IS
one in which, we trust, he will be fully sus-
tanned, In what manner and to what extent
the volume of currency outstanding may be
changed, under powers conferred already, may
be considered hereafter. But it is of the first
Importance, we believe, to realize that the
smaller notes which crowd coins out of use
must be got out of the way before practical
resumption can be effected.

The prospects of the Charter Commissions
amendments to the Constitution have been
much enhanced by various recent develop
ments at Albany. They have been favorably
reported in the Assembly, and made special
order i'll the Senate; and tho Republican
Assemblymen in caucus last night resolved to
vote down all Democratic motions for
adjournment until the most important
measures of the session, including these
amendments, have been disposed Of
This is a most commendable resolution
and ought to secure, if it is steadily adhered
to. the passage of the amendments. At the
same time, it might he unfortunate in view
of the necessity for their approval by another
Legislature and the people, If any ac-
ton by the Republicans made Their
adoption party question. When one party
has taken ground, a party, in favor
any measure, however cOmmendable, the rival
marty almost invariably feels justified in tax
ing ground against it. We feel confident, how
ever. that there will be no sharp political
division OH this issue. While a large proper
ton of the vote which the amendments will
receive will probably be Republican, yet
there must be many Democrats whose sup
mort can be relied on. Among the statements
printed yesterday of prominent Senators, that
of Mr.. Morrissey was the only one which seemed
10 breathe forth hostility. And as between
Norrissey and the amendments, we shall be
glad to see the issue made up.

All New-York has an affectonate regard for Mr..
Peter Cooper and whatever may be thought
of his financial heresies, everybody knows
that he is in dead earnest about them,
since he sent $25 lin greenbacks, of counsel
TO the Editor of The Indianapolis Sun, as an acknow
edgment of the zeal with which that newspaper
advocates "the peoples cause in the matter OF
national currency" We all believe in Mr.. CoOpers
perfect goodness of heart, as well as in the sim
cerity of his expressed opinions; but we must take
the liberty of cautionng him seriously against per-
hitting his zeal to get the better Of his discretion
Ii. in his anxiety for an initiation of the currency
he shall think it necessary to present S2o TO every
convert to his fiscal ideas, he will soon perceive
what may seem to him wonderful enlightenment
of the popular mind. There are in this city alone
large number of waiting spirits who are ready TO
believe anything for go, or even for $l2 90; to
ayow their convictions in the most courageous man
ner and to vote for any designated person, and so
TO vote early and often, provided some other person
shall not make a handsomer offer! But If Mr..
Cooper were not one Of the most unsophistcatcd
and trusting of mankind, he would know that pur-
chased newspapers, as well purchased voters. are
extremely uncertain property nor can even he,
with his handsome fortune afford to measure purses
with the universe We wish him all manner OF hap
piness. and therefore we wish HIM also little less
simplicity.

The agreement for ending the rail-
road war is not a treaty; it is sur
render. New-YOrk Central abandons the
contest and humbly agrees that hence
forth Baltimore may have its frcights from
the West three cents hundred cheaper than
New-YOrk, and Philadelphia two cents
cheaper. Mr.. Garrett has won his VIC
tory this time far more easily than a
year ago, and even more completely. And
now the New-YOrk merchants who have been
talking about the support Of New-YOrk Cen
trail as a public duty may consider at
their leisure what Central does to support New
York. We do not suppose this arrange
ment can last. 1t may serve some pur-
pose in the stock market or tide some of the
warning roads over difficulties about their
loans, but it is not in the nature OF
things that New-York should long submit to
the adverse discrimination, or even that the
Central should find itself able to endure it.
Was it for this that money was borrowed to
build the four tracksf

portunity to get even with the people who
cheat it. Mr.. Hcsing of Chicago, who was
pardoned out of prison to act as witness Tor

repudiated his part of the bargain and refused
to remember anything which the Government
wanted him to remember. That was under
the old Administration; under the new,
the prosecution of whisky thieves is
to be made serious business. and. BY a
happy coincidence, Mr.. Hesing is defendant In
one of batch of civil suits which it has been
decided to press. Probably the fact had moth
ing to do with this determination, but if MIR.
Hesing is forgiven a second time, we shall be
forced to conclude that Administrations have
indeed no souls, being as incapable OF Just
resentment as they usually are OF proper graft

A Charleston letter on another page, review
ing the social condition of the negroes in South
Carolina, makes a statement in which there is
food for rejection. Though the jurics are
often black and the judges owe their places to
the votes of black men, yet more than 400 of
the $50 cOnvicts in the State Prison are blacks
This tells the whole story of the helpleSsness
and degradation of the race.

Utter mystery yet surrounds the Burling- slip
explosion. Nobody knows where the hand
grenade or shell came from, nor whether IL
was accidentally or purposely exploded. There
is considerable evidence to the effect that no
quarrel was going on between the members OF the
firm, but the fact that deadly weapons were
strewed about the floor and one barrel of pistol
had been fred, renders such evidence doubtful.
The death of two of the parties to this dread
full scene and the great shock suffered by the
survivor have as yet precluded attempts at
clearing up the mystery. Few tenable explana-
tons can be offered The members OF the firm
were not in the habit of carrying firearms. one
of them, who has since died OF his injuries,
was to have received considerable sum OF
money yesterday, and to withdraw from the
firm. 1t has been suggested that he was tenn
porarily afflicted with insanity, and that he
brought to the fatal meeting all the weapons
and the hand grenade.

There was a pleasant passage-at-arms in the
Assembly yesterday-one of those interesting occa-
sions when there is feast of blackguardism and
(subsequent) flow Of apology. Mr.. Gere of Iioga
insnuated that Mr.. Alyord acting as a railroad
attorney, and that his special client was the New
York Central Railroad This was hardly consistent
with the spirit of the rules though it does not follow
that the implied statement was wholly untrue be-
cause it was almost supplementary; but Mr.. Al
word quietly responded with the suggestion, made.
of course in an indirect and strictly Enlightened"
manner, that Mr.. Gere was "a foulmouthed liar"
There having been two insults, two apologies were
next in order, as usual Strange to say, the worst
aggrieved man apoogized first. Mr.. Gere said he
had not of course, the slightest intention, &c, &c.
and Mr.. Alvord declared that, Of course, he never
had entertained, &c. &c. The whole proceeding,
from Insult No to Apology No. 2, was conducted
in conformity with the strictest etiquette OF these
courtly episodes On the whole. however, Mr.. AL
word got the best of it, He called the biggest name
and made the bravest apology. and now stands at
the head of the art of strictly parliamentary abuse
as it is understood and practiced at Albany.

That was an interesting bit of legislative
bathos when one of the Brooklyn Assembly
men declared yesterday that he didn't want
the Departments of his City Government to be
thrust into 1.-the dirty pool of politics" There
is a prevalent impression that our City Gov
eruments are down pretty deep i'll the "pOol
"of politics." and about the complexion of the
pool we never heard two opinions.
