facilities the colony can supply. Among the
hidden mysteries of our Northern coast is tho
question as to the last resting-place of the
survivors of Sir John Franklin. This question
has been revived by report brought last Fall
by the mate of bark which was cast away
in the previous Summer on the shore of Hud-
sons Bay. The report consisted chiefly OF the
story of some Esqulmaux, describing minutely
the sufferings and death of party OF white
men who had reached their settlement near
Cape Inglefeld, many years ago. The story
was fortified by the production OF some UNI
doubted relics Of the Franklin expedition. Tho
Esquimaux stated that there is still remaining
a cairn containing the books aud records OF
the white men. 1t may form part of the work
of the HOwgate expedition to ascertain how
much there is of truth or falsehOOd in this
story. The relics of the Franklin expedition
were probably scattered widely among the Es-
quimaux long ago. That race have peculiar
talent for constructing stories which shall ac-
cord with the hopes or fears of their question
ers. Before putting implicit faith III their last
tale, it may be well to recall the baseless story
told by the Esquimaux in 1850 to some OF the
officers under Sir John Ross. 1t specified that
the ships of the Franklin expedition, after
being broken by the ice were burned by
a fierce tribe of natives, who after
ward killed the white men with darts
and arrows. The story created painful
sensation at the time, but thorough
research was made at the locality Indicated
Wostenhom Sound-and the whole affair was
shown to be a Pigment of Esquimaux imagl-
nation. As to the story told to Mate Barry,
the least that can be said for it is that it pro-
yokes more than an idle curiosity, and it may
Justify new researches north and west OF the
upper part of HudsOn's Bay. There is, there
fore, fair likelihood that the whole northern
coast of Asia and a large part Of the north
coast of our own continent will be more or less
visited and explored by the Arctic expeditions
that start next year.

JOHN HOPPER BOGGS, ESQ.

Another great man, i'll his way, has come to
grief-John Hopper Boggs, esq, of no where
in particular, but cOmmorant or Canada, the
authorities of which have been requested by
the President to send him the body of the
SAID Boggs. We do not know that we blame
John Hopper Boggs. esq, for adopting an alias,
but he is deserving of censure for enterprises
forging, embezzlmg, stealing-which rendered
convenient quite variety of names, such as
plain John Miller military Major John Thomas,
and civil Charles Chapman.
Mr.. Hopper Boggs has been doing things
which he ought not to have done, for some
time Since he left his native Maryland he has
swindled upon a scale of great magnificence
from Maine to Georgia. and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast Two insurance companies
did he blk out of 100000. Bigamy aid lie
commit A respectable bishop did he re-
lieve of $4,000. Forged notes did he
manufacture and utter by the sheaf
And then, for he could well afford
to do it, he lived in great splendOr with an
improper female companion, at the Revere
House, an inn of the first rate, i'll Boston. He
was accomplished polite, agreeable, and he in
spired the bosom of Boston with confidence,
especially as he had plenty of money. and
spent it in watery way. At that semi
religious seaside resort, AIartha's Vineyard,
last season there was nobody like Boggs. Dia-
mOnds were stolen; the losers think now that
Boggs stole them and there might be wilder
conjecture concerning their painful disappear
ance.
But while BOggs was in all his glory, and
fascinating everybody at the Vineyard, there
arrived an Augusta man who knew him.
Proceedings were begun, of which Boggs got
wind, and fled nOrthward And now he is
wanted, and probably there Will be no difficulty
in getting him. There is an end of John-Hop-
per-Thomas-NIiler-C harles-Chapman Boggs
When he comes out of the prison
which is gaping for him, he Will
have lost his fine Roman manner,
his elasticity, his elegance, his fascinating de
meanor, fitted to trepan the hearts of ladies.
and may be obliged to take to the picking of
pockets after a very ignoble style. It's all up
with John Hopper Boggs the man of ford
COMPLEXION, handsome mOustache, frank, intel
ligent and attractive maner-the man who
moved chow gracefully we need not say "in
"tbe most refined and arist0cratic circles OF
"Boston." Exit Boggs III company with the
constable!
Boggs is rather disagreeable person to
introduce, at this festive season, to the atten
tion of the public; but while each honest man
is thankful for his blessings, let him be specially
thankful that he is not such a fool as John
Hopper Boggs!

better reason to be pleased. or course, thcre
is no way of obtaining the removal oil Messrs'
Arthur and Cornell except by an alliance pe-
tween the President and the Democratic Sen
ators against n large majority OF the KepuD-
leans, and the Democracy can have no possioie
motive for entering into such combination
except to detach Mr.. Hayes from ms true
friends and supporters, and leave HIM utterly
helpless when the crisis of the contest comes
between the enemies and the defenders oil the
National honor, prosperity, and peace.
Mr.. HAYES has been deceived before now by
the calculated courtesies of party when
Gatters him for what it hopes to get, but IS
all the while plotting his ruin. Democrats
have tempted him with promises OF WING re-
vivals, and political reorganizations, and the
decay of Bourbonism and the disappearance
of the White League and the placement OF
the color line. They have led HIM to believe
that he could carry on a Republican admins
tration without the help of the Republican
party, and separate himself from those VINO
elected him without playing into the hands OF
his adversares. What has been the result OF
this political cOquetry2 The Solid South
ravenOus for plumber, is marching swift steady,
and compact. upon the National Capital, max
ing civil speeches to the President but treat
ing his policy with a cool and insoent uncon-
Germ, and regarding him as nice though
rather notional gentleman, with whose vagaiies
it is not worth while TO quarrel. 1t is said that
the truth is not often told to Presidents. Mr.
Hayes certainly need not expect to hear 1t
from Democratic advisers whose hopes of for
tune are built upon his destruction.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-12-27
HILL YOU Yak INTO MY P1RLOR,


Nothing can exceed the cOrdiality with which
the Democrats at Washington invite President
HAYES to renew his disagreement with the ma
jority of the Senate. They have watched the
course Of the Administration with the pro-
foundest interest. They do not believe in
Civil Service Reform themselves they do not
pretend to believe in it but they have lively
concern i'll the peculiar experiments of the
President, ana they hope that he will con-
tinue them till the end of his term. They arc
Disguised at the bare mention of parley or ac-
c0mmOdatl0n. They say that the man who
butts at a stone wall and gets discouraged at the
first trial, is a mean spirited creature. Mr.
Hayes ought to fight the Republican Senators
without intermissiOn, till a Democratic Presi-
dent can get in, settle everything to the salts
faction of his party, and put an end to the
disturbance. Such politeness in the support Of
a political adversary is most beautiful to be-
hold.
We are now informed that "a prominent
democratic Senator expresses the opinion that
"Messrs Roosevelt and Prince can be confirmed
" if the President will return their names to the
"Scnate" There is not the least doubt that all
the prominent Democratic Senators would be
glad to have the President test the correctness
of this genteman's opinion. If the cOniirma-
tons failed the consequences could not but
be satisfactory to the opposition and if they
were carried, the Democrats would have still

From some things in a letter of two and q
half columns in Ihe Express, dated "Wnyah
Park" addressed to AttOrney-General Fair
child and signed Richard Lathers, we infer
that Lathers is in disconnected frame; that
he doesn't quite like the behavior of the At
tOney-General with reference TO his (Lathers's)
claim to an election as Senator from the IXth
District. Ii isn't ensy to make ont from the
letter precisely what Lathers is driving at, as
Lathers has rather dscursive style, and one
has to do a good deal of untangling of his
sentences to get his drift. The document is
IN the nature of a review of the Attorney
Generals legal opinion, which Lathers says
Influenced the State Board Of Canyassers to
deprive him of his certificate of election to
the Senate. As has been intimated, the man
ner of it Is considerably involved, but we are
quite certain from some passages in it that
Lathers is dissatisfied with the opinion, and

The German Exchange Bank, at No. 2i5 Bowery,

circle of the banks patrons. 1t is State
bank. with capital of 100000. Michael
J. Adrian, who is in the cigar business,
is the president aud Adam FANS the cashier.
There has been much criticism of late in regard
10 the action of the Excise Commissioners in
Keeping the money received from liquor-dealers on
deposit in bank instead of with tho
City Chamberlain. Inquiry has been made in regard
to the disposition of the interest on these funds.
The Excise Commissioners have been eX-
ceedngly reticent concerning the management of
the finances and have asserted that If the
Mayor. to whom they were responsible, and the
Grand Jury, before whom they appeared recently,
were satisfied concerning their accounts the
public had no right to know more. The
whole question of taking money, for re-
ceipts from saloon keepers has caused much dis
cussion of late, as is we'll known, and the system
has been condemned by judicial officers and proml-
nent citizens

MI w ccU larry TOOK away lne DTtaun OF
the silver shnekers by frankly Withdrawing
the charge that silver had been "surreptl-
"tiouSly" demOnetizcd; we doubt whether the
statement in our Washington dispatches this
morning will leave those vOciferous persons
any lungs at all. For it deprives them
of the only war-cry they had left-that this
was 1.-THE Dollar Of tie Fathers" On the con-
trary, the Fathers, it seems, would have as
little to do with it rs the sens. The discovery
of certain old documents in the philadelphia
Mint proves that President jefferson, gen
orally supposed to be one of the
Fathers, himself directed the suspen-
sion of the coinage of the silver dollar; that
this suspension was continued for thirty years !;
that, at the end of that time, the policy which
had been voluntarily pursued when the law
permitted the circulation of the silver dollar,
was incorporated into an act of Congress; that
the act of 1878, therefore, so far from be-
ing an innovation upon a fixed system,
or a trick by which debtors were de-
pryed of half their power of paying
their debts, as the silver lunatics have it, was
in accord with the policy which had prevailed
for nearly seventy years. This statement COM
pletely reverses the conditions Of the cOntrO-
versy The burden of proof is on the initiation
lists, who must now tell us why we should
defy the teachings Of experience as wei
as of common sense, and why the
policy of the Fathers, for whom they
have professed such reverence, should be dis
honored by the sons. If it were not that
these people propose to keep on yelling for
silver as long as there is any chance of rcpu-
dating eight or ten per cent Of their debts
with its aid, this disclosure would end the
whole pother at once.
