operate in the most important financial ne-
gotiatious, whether the payment OF the

Uuited statsa debt. In ls47, Just before
tho flood Of now gold from California aud
Australin, 1Iollnnd adopted the single silver
standard. After the demonotization Of all
yer by Germany, in 1871, Holland stopped the
coinage OF that metal into money, and
adopted tho single gold atandard, while re-
tanning large amount Of silver In circula-
ton. This latter step is to DO regarded as a
defensive measure, liko tho Limitation by tho
Latin Union Of tho coinage Of silver by It's
mombers. The public opinion Of Holland is
IN favor Of the ro-establishment in
general uso Of tho doublo standard OF silver
aud gold. Holland IL rich enough to be ablo
to buy for herself tho gold standard, much

front each other In very frantic and furious

blunderbuses, aud cannon, and ample dis
position to do violence, with tho Govorn-
ment holding each party at arm's length by
tho coatcollar. THIS Is the ludicrous sido Of
the situation, but thero is pitiful sido rs
woll. Why ia It that part Of the existing
State Government has 80 suddenly crun-
b1od away without blow being struck or
any resistance being oGorod? It has yielded

THE DESIGNS OF TIRE SOUTH.

It WAS freely charged by the Republicans
during tho recent Presidential campaign that
QUO Of tho chief causcs for the united action
Of tho native whitos Of The Southern States
Was the hope that Democratic rule would
open tho doors Of tho Ireasury to Bouthern
claimants for losacs during the Wan Tho
chargo went homo and mado no deep an i'm
precision TINT unusually vigoroua efforts we're
adopted to counternct It, md evon Mr. TIL
DEN was persuaded to break over tho usual
silence Of o candidntc for President and
write lotter to tho public pledging himself
to tliscountonance all attempts to rcimbnrso
10 veto every measure which Congress might
pnss for such purpose. After the assem-.
bling Of Congress It was thought to bo wise
step, pending tho dispute as TO tho result OF
tho election, 10 still further allay public
apprehension an 10 tho designs Of tho ex-
Confedcratcs, md resolution WAS intro
duced into tho IIouse Of Representatives In
structfng the Judiciary Committee to report
within twenty days m amendment to tho
Constitution providing TINT the Government
shall novor pay any claim to dialoyal mon for
property used, damaged, or destroyed by tho
United States troops during the Rebellion.
It WAS noticeable that all tho votea negativ-
ing this proposition except two were by tho
Southern Democratic members, and that fact
was cited at tho time in confirmation Of tho
Justice Of tho Charge made during the CAM
paign.
There Ia now moro striking illustration
Of the fact TINT the resolution, like Mr.,
Tnpxs's letter On tho sauo subject. was
merely designed to deceive the peoplc Of the
North, for the twonty days in which tho
Committee woro to hayo reported have
elapsed nud not word hns boen heard from

it is m exceptional occurrence tl,at a Com
mittco tlagrantly disroRnras a mandato of tho

tho mover Of tho resolution, asked tho House
last Monday to compel the Committee to
report tho amendment within two days, hut
tho request WAS tlofeated On vote, Thus
