The united action of the bankers
of Ny. and other Eastern cities, last
week, promises to raise a new and
interesting question in political sci
ence. The report of the committee
adverse to the silver legislation was
unanimously adopted; our readers
are familiar with some of the reasons
in the presentation of which the COM
mittee has been anticipated by the
press. But the body did not stop
with the appointment of committee
to memorialize Congress against the
proposed legislation. 1t was also
authorized to enter into correspond
ence with all the financial institutions
of the country, and to prepare meas
ures TO be submitted to them to Sc
cure, as soon as possible, a gold re-
sumption. One of the measures
in contemplation is indicated by the
resolution already taken by some of
them: not to advance money except
on a gold basis. If this resolution is
universally, or even generally, adopt
ed and vigorously carried out, it is
difficult to see what is to prevent re-
sumption on that basis from being at
once an accomplished fact. since the
great staples of the country cannot be
moved without such advances from
the banks. If there should be con-
test between Congress and capital
we may perhaps look for a demon.
stration, which to even the brain OF
the average silver legislator, there
may appear a limit to the power Of
Congress which cannot we'll be pass

By the death of Victor Emmanuel,
bis son, Humbert Renier Charles EN-
manuel Jean Marie Ferdinand Eu-
gene, becomes King of Italy. He
was born on the 4th of March, 1874
While only boy he was the close
companion of his father in some of
the exciting political and military
events of the earlier part of his
reign. During the war of 1865 he
commanded division, and fought
bravsly but without success to save
the day at Custozza- In April, 1868,
he married his cousin, Marguerite
Marie Therese, daughter of his
fathers brother, Ferdinand, Duke of
Savoy. He has been described as of
a sedate and almost saturnine tenn
per, very much unlike his father in
character and conduct; but he is ex-
ceedingly popular, nevertheless, with
the Italian people.

The Senator from Florida who wreaked
his financial opinions upon his colleague;
the other day, seems to have for one Of

the gold and not the paper that has been

wants gold demonetizsd because it is SC
unstable. If Mr.. Jones would exchang'
his seat in the Senate for one on a see-saw,
for which he is apparently better fitted be

then understand how it was that gold was

The defense made by Mr.. S. ].
TiIden to the suit brought against
him to recover arrears of unpaid in
come tax is a purely technical one.
In regard to the claim for the year
1861, the judge sustained the de
murrer to the right of the Govern
ment to enforce payment. In regard
to the claims of other years, which
rest on the law of 1862 and on The
action of the Assessors appointed
under that law, argument is to be
resumed on Saturday of the present
week. Mr.. Tilden's counsel contend
that the act of the Assessors in fix
ing or accepting the amount of tax
able income partook of the complet
ed character of a Judicial decision
which was binding on the Govern
ment, and Is not subject to review
This theory would, of course, bal
the Government from attempting
to recover any arrears of income ta1
which were found, on evidence sub
sequently obtained, to have been il.
legally diverted from the Treasury.
The attorneys for the Government
maintain that the act of the Asses
sore was of a purely ministerial char
acter, and as the Statute of Limita-
tions cannot be pleaded against a
claim of the Government of the
United States, that the errors made
by the Assessors are open to review

The death of Mr.. Denton, of Del
aware County, Iowa-says the N. Y.
Tribune recalls a story which he
used to tell. In the early days of
the Illinois Central Railway, the line
was not fenced, and one day two
COWS belonging to Methodist cler-
gyman were killed. Being sued for
damages the company resolved to
make a test case of it. The presi-
dent of the road directed Mr.. Len
ton to take $500 in gold and go to
Springfield and retain Abraham Lin
coin, whom he knew well, for the
company. Mr. Lincoln replied to
his request, 81 am sorry you didn't
come yesterday, Nick, for l have
been retained by the preacher and
his friends" Denton explained full
ly the Importance of the case to the
company, and then, pulling two
buckshin bags filed with gold out
of his pockets, he put them down on
the table before the lawyer, with a
startling chink, saying, "Mr. Lincoln,
the president of the company author
izes me to hand you this retainer of
$500 to take our case" Mr.. Lincoln
jumped to his feet, flushed with an
ger. ''Nick Denton" he said, 81
have given my promise to that
preacher and his friends, and the
Illinois Central hasn't money enough
to buy me away from his side. l
don't know that l shall ever get
dollar from him-but I'll do nv best
to make your company pay for those
cows" Denton said he never felt
so mean and small in his life as he
did at that moment. And in 1860,
though a Democrat, he used to say,
during the Presidential campaign,
that Lincoln was the noblest man in
America.
