SHERMAN'S STATEMENTS.
What Our Minister of Finance
Has to Say
He is Afraid Of the Bland Silver Bill
He Mentions Those Rejected
Appointments.

New York, Dec. 29.-Secretary
Sherman left here for Washington this
morning, after looking up all depart
ments of the public service coming un.
der the Treasury jurisdiction; including
the management of various details
leading to custom house reforms and
the extinction of long existing abuses,
including those connected with the
weighing, guaging and brokerage sys-
TENS.
He also advised freely with intelli-
gent gentlemen regarding political af-
fairs. 1t is safe to say that neither he
nor the President is disposed to heed
the unwise counsel of those who advise
the denomination Of the recently re-
jected New York appc,ntees, nor is
there evidence on the other hand that
it has been decided to acquiesce in the
retention of Arthur and Cornell. The
present prospect is that no new nomina-
tions will be made for some time to
come. However, the Secretary is
much disappointed by the obstacles to
his refunding policy, and the diminu-
tion of the public debt burdens, which
have been created by fear of BANDS
silver bill. He honestly believes, in
view of solid facts and reasons in his
possession, that except for the pending
of the Bland bill the country would to-
day be SO near to specie resumption
that it could be definitely effected be-
before January, 1879, if not earlier in
the new year, but the fear of unlimited
coinage of the cheap silver dollar and
the threatened legislative assertion of
the right to settle the public debt there.
with, is already bringing from Europe
such quantities of 5-20's for sale that
four per cents are now selling below par
in gold. This has brought funding
operations to dead stand, and renders
further operations toward resumption
temporarily impracticable, because the
gold to, reduce the outstanding green
backs 80, three hundred millions maxi
mum, as required by law, can only be
obtained in exchange for new bonds.
At the same time the Secretary thinks
the fears of final action exaggerated,
and does not anticipate that the pres
ent extreme depression will long con-
tinue, though he doubts if Congress
will dispose of the silver bill within
three months. The evidences accumu-
lated hourly that capitalists are alarmed
and that unlimited resumption of the
cheap silver dollar will inevitably make
dear money for all who have occasion
to borrow, and thus restrict the en-
ployment of labor in enterprises that
thrive only on cheap capital.

CONCERNING PURE LIQUORS.

As has been previously stated in these
columns, the people of the far west, and
particularly of this portion thereof,
refuse to be bnll-dozed into the use of
poor, cheap liquors, and continue to
patronize men who deal in none but the
best goods. Such dealer is found in
the person of the portly and popular
military merchant, Col. Luke Murrin,
who stands to-day at the head of the
| liquor trade of this Rocky mountain
region, and is constantly increasing his
already immense list of patrons by
close personal attention to every detail
of the business and careful selection of
choice goods, both in buying and SELL
ing. 1t is not necessary to give in this
connection a list of the various brands
of liquors and wines kept at Murrin's
mammoth emporium. People who i'm
bibe know what they want, and also
know that by calling upon him they
can get the desired article every time.
He is always sat home," and never too
busy to smile upon his friends, though
it is wonderful to see him transact so
large a volume of business and yet per-
sonally entertain every man who calls
in style seldom equalled and never
excelled.
Therefore, it is with the conscious
ness of having in the past treated every
body with kindness, and the further
consciousness of carrying the heaviest
stock of strictly pure and choice wines,
liquors, cigars, etc., that the gentleman
under notice steps over the threshold
of another year. AS in the past, so in
the future, Col. Murrin deiies would-be
rivals, courts the favors and orders of
dealers and consumers throughout this
section, as well as China and the East
Indies, and promises to sell cheaper,
sell better goods, and give better salts
faction to all than he has ever done
before. So help him Wakantanka.

INFORMATION from Berlin is to the
effect that Bismarck is determined to
break up the French Exposition. To
accomplish this, he will urge Russia to
demand impracticable terms, so as to
necessitate English interference. Ger
many will then send force to aid Rus

able to resist the opportunity to attack
Germany, whereupon he would turn on
France and complete the work begun
in the Franco-Prussian war, and which
did not leave France sufficiently broken

CHANDLER'S CHARGE
Commended and Condemned.


Chicago, Dec. 29.-The comments
of the press in western cities on letters
attacking the President and Cabinet
are generally unfavorable to Chandler
The Tribune attributes it to Chand-
ler's not being recognized by the Presi-
dent, and declares that all the charges
contained in it have already been
abundantly answered, some of them by
Chandler himself, and that if his state
ment of facts is correct, he writes him.
self down as villain. 1t says denials
of his principal statements are already
coming in from various sources.
The Times, in its dispatches and edi-
torially, regards it as a manifesto,
which is put forward by Conkling and
other anti-administrationi as the
first of series, which are expected to
annihilate the President and perhaps
drive him from his seat in the White
House by means of investigations into
the methods by which he obtained it.
1t is simply the old scheme of unfurling
the bloody shirt and organizing hell in
the South; its object being also to make
Conkling President in 1880. 1t con-
siders both objects unattainable and
disreputable.
The Inter Ocean regards the letter
as strong document, and carefully ex-
amines its charges, and sums up by
saying: ''that prima facie the docu-
ment should make the American people
hang their heads in shame. For the
honor and good name of the govern
ment let an opportunity be given be-
fore proper committee of investiga-
tion to explain or disprove this appa-
rent barter of justice and sale of the
sacred rights of the people,"
Tie Cincinnati Gazette is especially
severe on Chandler for apostacy, incon-
sistency and Misrepresentation, and
comes out squarely in support of the
President against such attacks. Its
chief point is that President Grant and
the Chandler regime had left no alter
native for President Hayes than to
withdraw the troops from the South,
and that in SO doing he carried out the
policy which the preceding administra-
tion inaugurated.

SENATOR DAWES has introduced a
bill to carry out Capt. Howgate's plan
of colonizing the polar regions for the
purpose of exploration. 1t authorizes
the President to send out an expedition
to establish colony at or near Lady
Franklin Bay; to detail such officers
from the navy as may be needed, and
to equip a government vessel. The
bill provides for an appropriation Of
S50.000. The committee on Naval
Affairs have it under consideration
and are likely to report it favorably.

GEN. NELSON A. MILES is a bold
man, as well as brave, or he would not
have dared to tell the House Commit

build up an aristocracy in the army,
and should be done away with; that
there should be no permanent staff and
no extra rank or pay, and that officers
should be rotated in staff duty and
fewer appointed.

The Jersey City Journal aftercopying DR..

doris published by the Elizabeth Herald in re-

IL the Hon. Benz. Williamson, ex-Chancel-
Tor, is'tho honorable man he is supposed to
be, he will lose no time in disavowing all re-

port circulated relative to Gov. Newell's act

done SO, and corrected what he knew obe y
vile lie, without waiting for Gov. Newell to
do it for him. If the Elizabeth Herald does
not wish TO be esteemed Infamous, and brand

statement of Gov. Newell in full, and express
itssiegret for the error into which it was led
by somebody. Now let us see how long il
