IF the financial madness which has taken
possession of portion of our people shall
finally lead their representatives in Congress
70 prevent the resumption of specie pay
nents, the national credit will receive a
wound which half century of repentance
cannot heal. For every dollar which such a
policy will save to us our children will lose
a hundred. The price of our shame will be
to them an intolerahle burden.-Mr Gar

THE Baldwin locomotive works at Philadelphia
have recently received an order from the Russian
government for forty frst-class freight engines,
to be completed during I bruary aud March, 1878
The war has absorbed all the engines IN the en-
pre for military purposes and the hard usage to
which they are exposed rapidly destroys them
Meanwhile the heaviest wheat crop ever known
in Southern Russia and Bulgaria is rottlng in the
bins for lack of means for transportation to the
Baltic ports and about three hundred new engines
will be required ut once. Most Of these will be
built in Europe and the forty To be built in Phil
adelphia will cost $500, 900 aud give employment

TnE killing Of DR., j. W, McWhorter by his own

putting parties which passed through his heart,
producing instant death. Several years ago still

EUROPEAN JEALoUsy-It would appear
from the curt response of Germany to the
overture of England for interference in the
war, that Bismarck would like Russia to ex-
haust herself still further of men and money
so that there shall be no near danger OF that
dreaded French-Ru1san alliance. Either
this, or il is expected that Russia will be so
grateful to Germany { r forbearance while
Turkey is beaten 10 DEATH that the Car will
be the best friend of the German Emperor.
At any rate it is only cool political game
regardless of the suffering inflicted upon the
poor peasants.

How IT WoRKs.--Reports are beginning
% come in now of the way silver works
Large employers out West, where the silver
is raging among the ignorant, are buying
silver in large quantities at from ninety-fve
to ninety-seven cents on the dollar in green
backs. Then they pay their help in coin "
and make Il neat turn by it, while the silver
is just what the help are demanding. The
stores are loading mp with the stuff and
can't get rid of it except at a loss. Shortly
the traders will have to refuse silver or
charge up the discount by increasing the
price of goods. Then there will be little
more in the question.

After all, the bargain between Hamburg
Butler and Senator Patterson, by which the
latter, in return for securing the admission
VI Butler to the Senate, was to be let off
from criminal prosecution, is not likely to be
consummated. Those who arranged the bar
gain reckoned i'll in leaving Wade Hampton
out of consideration. Exception Patterson's
desertion to the democratic party, the prob
able result of the Butler-Corbin contest
would have been the decision that neither Of
the claimants was legally elected, thus leav-
ing vacancy which would probably have
been filed by the election of Wade Hamp-
ton. Now when the attempt is made by
Buffers friends to have the prosecution
against Patterson dropped, it is discovered
that Wade Hampton is decidedly opposed
to any such compromising of felony. An eff
fort was made in the South Carolina legisla-
ture to table the resolution to have the evil
dence against Patterson sent to the United
States Senate. For time this seemed
likely to succeed, but the Hampton influence
10 wv oNibhbf hhN INV ~ - NNho'''''N W.
tain that the resolution will pass. Moreover,
these South Carolina democrats who have
used Patterson must entertain sincere con-
tempt for him, and will willingly be per-
suaded that it is impossible to carry out
their part of the contract What the result
will be can hardly be doubted. The evil
dence that Patterson secured his seat by
wholesale bribery is said to be overwhelm-
ingly strong. His conviction before any
court in the state will almost inevitably fol-
low his trial, and when the evidence is pre-
sented to the United States Senate it must
receive attention. And. the sympathy and
regret felt for poor Robert Smalls, the ex-
slave, will not be extended to man of Pat
terson's birth, education and opportunities.

VERY little is known of Mr., Farley, whom
the democrats of California have elected TO
the Senate, and that little does not indicate
that his acquisition will be of much value
to the state or nation. lie is a resident of
San Francisco, and his reputation il that of
apolitical leader of the demagogical sort
But California has not been in the habit of
adding very much to the brains or stateman-
ship of the Senate.

THE SENATE OF 1860,


A body Of men embracing many who were prom
inent in the late unpeasantness on both sides
interesting for this reason, rs well as from the
fact that upon their deliberations as the Senate Of
the United States great questions deyolved and by
them were virtually decided. The central figure
in the group is John & Breckenridge then Vice
President of the United States, and afterwards
maior-general in the confederate army. lie has
a cean-shayen face, quite youthful in look and
apparently trimming over with good-nature
Near his shines the handsome, Jolly looking face
of solomon Foote the prince of pariamentarians
and the perfect gentleman. Another good-na-
tured face is that Of Judah L. Benjamin, after
wards member Of the confederate cabinet
Contiguous to his, aud in striking contrast with
his CHEEKY countenance is the stern, almost for
bidding yisage Of Jefferson Davis Then there
