WELSH A jsLAVE HOLDER.

New York journals assert that John
Welsh, appointed Minister to England
by President Hayes. is member of
the firm OF s! IL w. Welsh. of Phila-
delphia. who own a sugar plantation
and 49, slaves in Cuba. The state
ment is based upon list of the planta.
uon and slave. owners of Cuba, pub
hshsdsia recent number of the official
Journal of the Spanish Government in
cuba. 1t is very likely that the Senate
will investigate the, matter thoroughly
before confirming the. nomination OF
MIR. Welsh. 1t would seem like an in
sxcusahle blunder on the part of the
Administration to select slave holder
to Que of. the highest positions in its
gift, and as representative of the
United States at a Court known to be
opposed to African slavery. The
salary OF the Minister to Great Britain
II $l7, $50 u year, and as the duties are
merely nominal aud could be attende
to by any person of ordinary intelli.
Rence, it would have been more credit
able to the President to. have selected a
poor. but deserving man for the place
instead .-of< u millionaire sugar. mer-
chant of Philadelphia. enriched by the
enforced labor of slaves in Cuba.

CAPITALISTS AND. TIE SILVER
BILL.

1t appears from torday's dispatches
that capitalists are circulating petitions
in Boston and other Eastern cities to
the President to veto the Bland or any
other bill that may be passed by Con-
gress for the reconciliation of silver.
Every money lender and bondholder in
the country will. of course, sign such a
petition. European bondhelders will
contribute literally to defray the ex.
penses of the. movement, and money
will undoubtedly be placed whereit 10
expected to do most good in, defeating
the passage of the bill by the Senate.
The bondholders can afford to spend
millions'to defeat d bill to remonetize
silver. Their capital has been doubled,
and in some Instances trebied, b. the
rise IN currency; besides they have
been paid in interest in the last ten
years twice the amount originally in
vested. They are untaAed for State
county or municipal purposes, and are
pot compelled to pay one cent toward
the support of the Government. The
merchant, the farmer and the working
man are obliged to not only maintain
the Government which protects the
bondholder, but must also pay
increased taxation, that they may
be paid their interest in gold.
They object to being paid accord.
tug to the terms OF their contract
with the Govern ment. and assert that
II will ruin the credit of the nation to
remonefize silver. A year ago in the
Presidential campaign the people were
cold that the passage of the bill demon
stizlng silver and making oil the obi
cations of the Government payable in
gold was the result of a mistake; now
the action of the bond holders proves
that Ii was not, but that the bill was
pushed through both Houses in their
interest. and that it will not be repealed

Senator Mitchell will tomorrow in.
hroduce a bill amendatory of the Act
by which lands were granted to aid in
the construction of railroad. and tele-
graph line from Portland to ASTORIA
and ,McMinnville. His bill proposes to
allow the Oregon Central. Railroad
Company three years additional time
for the completion of its road from
Portland to Astoria, on the following
conditions: Construction to be com
menced at the junction with McMinn-
willie, near Forest Grove, within one
year, and,to be completed to Astoria
within three years from the enactment
of the bill. and at least so miles must
be finished and. accepted during the
first year. Failure, to comply with
these requirements, will, by the terms
of the bill, entitle any other company
to prooeedto build the road and enjoy
its land grant by commencing either at
Astoria or Forest Grove within three
months aftersuch failure.

The GREAT EvIL.--In Scotland intern
religion. A recent report to the established
presbytery of Edinburg shows that drunk
enness has increased in the past five years
thirty per cent. among men and thirty-three
per cent. among women. This increase is
chiefly among the poorer classes, upon which
nearly all the energies of temperance reform
have been concentrated. In the higher classes
there has doubtless been a great improve
ment, and it is noticed as good sign that
there is less drinking now than formerly
among the small employers and among
skilled women, and it is hoped that the NOR
atty of the lower classes will be improved
by the example of those above them. The
skilled workman has discovered that sobri.
ETY. is the best policy. In order that the
lower class may discover this, change is
necessary in their homes these must be
made more attractive than the taverns. So
that it would seem that the reform is to be-
gin with the women. Preaching appears
not to affect them, for, if they would hear it,
they have had the most earnest exhortation
from the Scotch pulpits, and the result is
that, in five years, drunkenness of women
has increased thirty-three per cent. So long
as the woman cannot make her home so at,
tractive as the gaudy grog-shop there is lit
tie likelihood that her husband will prefer
it, and when he spends his time and money
at the tavern, what more natural than that
the woman should grow more and more Stat
ternly and fall into drunkenness and al
sorts of vice.

PRopHEcY FULFILLED,-The Jews are
again crowding back to Palestine So we
learn from a letter in Murat Halstead's Gin
cinnati Gazette. Their return to it was fore
told in ancient times or, at least, this is the
meaning given to certain utterances of the
ancient Hebrew prophets by their profes-
sonal interpreters, and every now and then,
during our whole lifetime, we have been told
that they were about to return. The Gin,
cinnati journal asserts that the present jew
ish migration TO Palestine is remarkable
and that the signs of it are observable in
many closed Jewish houses in London. A
traveller just returned from Palestine de
clares Z" that he found the whole region from
Dan to Beersheba crowded with immigrant

THE ALABAMA CLAIMs.-The Alabama
claims commission has now completed its
task aud has rendered all its awards, the to-
tai amount given to claimants being about
nine million and five hundred Thousand dol.
lars. As the amount received from England
was fifteen million and five hundred thou
sand dollars, there is left a large surplus,
over the disposal of which there is consider
able discussion. 1t is held by some that it
should be returned to England, others desire
that it be given to the insurance companies,
while still others hold that it should be used
in some way to build up our merchant ma
rine, which was nearly ruined by the rebel
cruisers Whatever may be thought OF
either of these plans, there can scarcely be
any question as to the justice of the claims
of those to whom awards have been made
for six per cent. interest from the time when
their property was destroyed. The interest
now allowed them is only four per cent
The government has had the money invested
so that it has yielded about six per cent.
and if this income belongs to anybody, it is
to the claimants.

Coon REsULT.-The report of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue shows that
the work of Secretary Bristow, in lighting
the whiskey ring, has resulted in gain of
several millions to the treasury. During
the past fiscal year the government collected
the sum of fifty-one million three hundred and
ninety-four thousand four hundred aud ninety
dollars upon distilled spirits, showing a net
increase of four million three hundred and
forty-four thousand three hundred seventy
four dollars over last year,whle sxty-two dis
tileries, rectifying houses, and other property
of the value of one million five hundred and
thirty thousand seven hundred and forty-four
dollars were seized, assessments were made
against various distillers TO the amount of one
million six hundred aud twenty-five thousand
seven hundred and seventy-two dollars
and suits instituted upon distillery and other
bonds, and for the recovery of taxes to the
amount of three million two hundred and
sixty-eight thousand four hundred and four
teen dollars. The commissioner expresses the
belief that the fraudulent combinations OF
whskey thieves are effectually broken up.
