McLIN made oath that with an
oath he made Hayes President. Both
of these oaths cannot be true. If the
second is false the first must be q
true oath. If the first is false it still
shows that McLin is perjurer. In
no shape can the two oaths be pair
ed without making him perjurer.
Yet this proof of his perjury has raj
lied the majority in the present Con-
gress around him as the standard
bearer who is to lead them through
revolution

The French Policy not the Greenback
Policy.

10 our review of Mr.. Battles
Greenbaok circular, elsewhere, we
briefly refer to his French idea. The
French financial policy is 80 Otter
cited by the Greenbackers that we
here give brief article to that policy
alone and referring to the four lead
ing features-tbe kind of money, the
quantity, resumption and bonds
we show that the French policy il
the opposite of that proposed by the
Greenbackers.
The paper currency of France is
not like our greenbacks at all. It is
precisely the kind of money the
Greenbackers profess to hate. 1t is
bank paper. 1t is limited in amount
and it's issue is limited 10 one single
corporation-the Bank of France.
Its notes come no nearer being Gov
eminent notes than do the notes of
our National banks, not as near.
The Government is not responsible
for their payment. Every dollar OF
paper money in France is in these
notes. Not only is the paper not the
kind the Greenbackers want but the
policy of it's issue, and its treatme nt.
are also the very opposite to theirs.
When the Government makes its
notes legal tender the issue ia lin.
tied. When it withdraws the limit
it requires resumption. The very
largest circulation of these notes
ever emitted, (the total circulation
of the great commercial nation of
Frsnce1 was 1902, 100000. This was
in 1873. Then the Government
passed law that resumption should
take place January l, 1873, and then
did resume. Our Green hackers do
not want resumption end they do
not want the Government to limit
circulation. Again, the French pol.
ICY is directly 'fornenst' the Green
hackers as to bonds. The debt of
81, 100, 100000 imposed on France
by the Germans was all put into
bonds (not currency on which they
pay FIVE per cent. So, in every
essential particular the French finan-
cisl policy is antipodal to that of
the Gresnbackers Sam Carey and
Brick Pomerey knew that and know
it now when they tell their deluded
followers to cite France. As we
have frequently said, it is such
glorious fun for them to see honest
people harping on delnsions. They
Cite France because France OF all
nations has a policy dramatically
the opposite of that they pretend to
uphold.

his farm for $2,6l3, and when on the

the money and a gold watch. They

Suppose. Hayes had Done Differently

The main ObJectior 8, at least the
ostensible objections, made against
his administration, are on acconns of
his so-called southern policy and his
civil service reform policy. His south
ern policy has simply consisted in
Withdrawing troops from those
states Suppose he had pursued the
opposite policy, and had not only
kept those there which were there.
but added to the force. Does any
republican believe that the condition
OF affairs in the south to-day would
be better3 We will go further, and
ask if any republican believes that
the condition of affairs in the south
would be nearly as good under that
policy as it is under the present. 1t
would be absurd to claim any such
thing indianapolis Journal.
The above shows how little it's
writer knows of mans nature IN
general and of the southern people
in particular. Had Hayes upon his
Inauguration given uLequivocal enun-
citation of bis determination to en-
force his authority in the South, the
announcement would have been the
final and unconditional surrender of
that pcople--their political Appoma>
tox, their last ditch. Wearied and
worn out, they would have thrown
up the sponge and begged for terms.
Nichols himself waited for word of
determination by the President. Had
Hayes said. "You cannot be Gov.
ernor, Mr.. Nichols" he would have
retired without whimper, and. in
stead of the necessity Of adding to
the army force down there, the sol
| diers there could have been taken
away without any fear of Packard
being molested. The Southrons
thus disconftted would have begun
Diplomacy. Nichols would have
been one of the first to hold con-
ference with the President and to
bring about friendly understan ding
between the people of the N orth and
South, an understanding in which
reason, not passion, would rule and
restore to the two sections proper
political, commercial and social re-.
lations. But now the day of recon
ciliation is put of. The CULTS of fire,
before nearly choked, are kindled
anew with dry paper which a
weakllng threw in to smother the
flames. And this state Of things is
largely due to the lack of foresight
and "hindsight" of editors such as
this Indianapolis sucking, and the
giving Of political power to the same
ilk. Who complains of the "condi.
ton of affairs in the South y? Havn't
they everything lovely down there
The south is prosperous. Ihey do
not complain of hard times. They
are not even troubled with tramps.
They have driven every trouble
some thing away to prey upon the
North. We are bearing all their ills.
There are great fields open 10 that
section where our idle could grow
rich il the North were true TO itself.
"The condition Of affairs in the
South" is good. 1t is the North that
suffers.

THE HERALD does not per Sc object
to the investigation of Hayes's title,
and Hayes himself ought not &c OBJ

He should be willing to be done to as
he has done to others. He permitted
Packard TO be ousted. 1t will be
equally Just for him to be ousted.

THE SILVER DOLLAR,

Failure of the Scheme of the Clearing House
Committee and Secretary Sherman to Dis
honor It-Proininens Bankers and Oper-
atives Announce It will be Received the
Same as Other Legal Tenders.
Special Telegram to the Globe. J.,
New YORK, Dec. 22.-The position as
sumed by the self-constituted clearing
house committee which visited Washington,
and, after conference with Secretary Sher-
man, announced that remonetized silver dol
lars would only he received on deposit for
return in kind, seems likely to be overturned
by the banks themselves. While two or
three banks have already announced to de-
positors that silver will only be received upon
that condition, the president OF prominent
bank said, yesterday: owe shall issue no
such notice, ana presidents of other banks
have reached the same conclusion. The
only banks which will issue su h
notice are those identified with the precipi-
tate action of the clearing house, and are
abliged to carry out their plan as matter of
consistency. Their action was simply the
result of prejudice and had no reasonable ba-
sis for it. If ALL the new dollars which have
been coined. or likely to be coined during
Secretary Sherman's administration, were
thrown into New York at once, they would
hardly be sufficient in amount to embarrass
the banks"
prominent Wall street broker said the
clearing house is ashamed of it's action, and
most of the banks will take legal tender sill
yer without regard to their notice to deposi-
tors.

A GRAND SCRAMBLE 1NAuaURATED.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec 22.-There is going to
be a grand scramble for the place of minis
ter to Germany, and nobody here has any
intimation concerning the probable action Of
the President and Mr.. Evarts in the prem
ises. They take the ground that it would be
improper to discuss the question of the new
appointment until after Mr.. Taylor's funeral,
but they, of course, listen to all that politi-
clans have to say on the subject. Many of
the me n who have been in public life and
who are out of G job will try for this place.
which is very attractive one to them. The
first man to announce himself openly as
candidate is
EX-SENATOR ALEXANDER RAMSEY.
of Minnesota, who has had no place for sew
eral years. He is here, and is working for
this one. There will be other candidates
not SO we'll fitted for the place as Mr.. Ram
sey, for as public man he was at least re.
spectacle, and he reads German, and is said
to speak it flnently. What Pennsylvania
politicians will do in the way of securing
the place for Gen. Hartranft cannot be ascer-
tanned to-day, because nearly all the Repub-
lican Congressman from the State have gone
home. If the Pennsylvania Republicans
make strong stand for Hartranft they will
very probably be successful, for Hartranft is
well thought of by Hayes and several mem
bers OF his cabinet, notably by Attorney
General Devens, who knew him in the field.
The one thing that is certain is that Mr.
Hayes has not given word of intimation as
to what he will do about filling the vacancy.
