MISREPRESENTATION.

When Secretary Sherman was before q
committee OF the House, a few days ago
explaining his scheme OF resumption, Gen
Ewing asked him:
In case of a dram of gold from the Treasury,
what measures would You resort TO in order
10 check it" mean after resumption:
To this the Secretary replied:
The Treasury ought to be so strong that the
thing would check itself. You can scarcely
imagine in the probabilities of business, tina,
with no outstanding liabilities that are moi
covered by actual cash on hand, except the
sSDO,oOO,0G0 of legal tender notes, the drain
upon the Government would be so great as to
exhaust the reserve of sla0,oO0,oOo. Tha prop.
osition is all based, not upon the fact that
sl2O, 10000 would pay $500 GOO Oo0-we all know
that is not so-but upon the fact that ii is i'm.
possible TO gather together United States
notes and TO present them in such mass and
In such a continuous stream, and that the
very effort 10 do so would raise the value OF
United states notes. Their convenience is SO
great and the necessity for them SO apparent
that such an effort would at once bring them
up 10 par in gold. L think that drain OF
five, ten, fifteen, or twenty millions would a,
once tend TO bring up the value of greenbacks
until they were at par in gold, and then there
would be no object at all in drawing them out

Prince Gortschakoff Replies to Lord
SaIisbury's Letter.
He Writes in Conci!iatory Manner
and Says that Russia De-
sires Peace.


LONDON, April g. The Times" issued n
special edition tonight containing the full
text OF Prince Gortschakaff-s reply to Lord
Saiisoury's circular. A dispatch stated that
Prince Gortschakof contests Lord Salisbu-
rvs assertions, point by point, but the cvn-
eral tone OF his-reply appears TO he concili-
atory. He denies that the treaty. of San
Stefero creates strong slave state under
the control of Russia, and declares th:s he
arrangements relati to Bulgaria an only
a development Of the principle established
b. the COnsiantinOple conference. II con-
tinucs: lord Salisbury admits that a re-
turn to the programme OF that conference
in pure a2i simple il rendered impossible
by the war. The fact that the San Stetfano
treaty Is preliminary. indicates that R,.ssia
has not prejulgcd dctnitive results, and
has left room for an Interior understanding
Bulgaria Will he under russian control no
more than Roumania. which also owes It's
ex stence 10 Russia and Is quite ready TO
ahridge the term ot occupation OF Bulgaria
as much rs f"Ssib, The limits
~ Bulgaria have only been indicated
in general terms in accordance with the na-
tioE%lity OF the population. The details
will be left TO mixed commission. The
object in assigning ports 10 Bulgaria is TO
assist her commercial development, by
which England and the Mediterranean
powers, whose eommercial power has al
ways been a powerful lever for their po-
litical influence, are likely to profit far
mere than Russia. Prince Gortschakoff
expresses surprise at the suggestions with
regard to the stipulaticns of the treaty rel
alive TO Thessaly and Epirus by the
modest reforms stipulated for it, if intended
to avoid the appearance OF either establish
ing Russian supremacy on the one hand, or
utterly neglecting the Greeks on the other.
Russia did not forbid the Porte to consult
European powers, as wen as Russia, on re-
forms Tor the Greek provinces. There is no
longer any pretext for debarring Rus
STA from the possession OF Bessarabia
a. the freedom of the Danube is
secured by International commission.
Prince Gortschakoh's tone in regard to Ar
menia is much more energetic. He says
BAHAMA is far from being equivalent to the
pecuniary indemnity which it represents.
The Russian acquisitions in Armenia have
only defensive value Russia wishes "
hold them 80 as not To have to besiege
them at the beginning OF each war. These
territorial cessions are natural in cDGse-
quence OF the war

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

The Salina Herald endorses the remarks
OF THE TINES in regard to the great mis-
take made by many western States IN
changing their congressman too often, and
thinks that when State has a good delega-
ton, as Kansas has now, it is good policy
TO keep it. The Hadidsays:
Wereproiuce, in another part of this paper
a short and timely article from the Leayen-
worth TIMES, depreciating the propensity
among western States for making frequent
changes in delegations in Congress. The
TINES makes some very sensible and timely
suggestions that Kansas should think over
during the next few months. Kansas has
now, in Congress, as sound, as faith
full, and as able a delegation
as any OF the states in the great
and rapidly growing West. our Senators and
Representatives, although most of them new
in Congress-serying their first term-have
gwen abundant evidence of ability, and OF
devotion 10 the interests of their constituents,
and we cannot afford TO dispense with their
services. They are growing men and the
longer We keep them there, the greater will
be their influence, and their consequent abil-
ity TO do us good. We have nothing to gain,
and may lose much, by making a change. Ii
occurs TO us that we cannot do better than TO
re-elect all of them.

The Prophecy Of . Turkish states
man Eul0lleAs
New York Tribune, S. ]

When Fuad, the great Turkish statesman
who opposed the Russian pretensions which
led to the Crimean War, was approaching
his end, he called for writing material and
traced, with trembling hands, political
testament Tor his master "When this wri-
ting is placed before the eyes of your Maj
esty," he wrote, q shall not be in the world.
You can, therefore, listen to me without
distrust, and you should Undue yourself
with the great and grevious truth that the
Empire Cf the Osmanlis is in danger. An
intestine dissension in Europe and Lis
marck in Russia, and the face of the world
will be changed" "The intestine dissen-
sion in Europe" broke out in the
next wear, when Germany was placed
under overwhelming obligations to Rus
sian diplomacy, while France was prostra-
ted and renewal of the alliance between
the Western Powers was rendered imposi-
bic. The Hohenzollern who telegraphed to
tho Gar from Versailles on the day the
peace was signed, Prussia will never for
get that it owes to you that the war has not
taken extreme dimensions" has shown his

THE SENATE AND THE PRESa.
DENT.

The Boston Advertiser, thoroughgoing
Republican journal, has this to say in re-
gard 70 the attitude assumed by certain
Republican Senators toward the President
'-The-president has every reason to be calm
and serene. Nobody pretends that he is in
fallible, or even that he has not made mis-
takes But thus far he has kept strictly with
In the line Of his duty. The errors he has
made are not of nature to justify congress,
or even Republican senators and representa-
tives in calling him to account. The senate
is within its rights when ii rejects his nomi-
nations, but it is impertinent when 1t criti-
cises him for making them. The laws give
him his constitutional advisers, and when
gentlemen chosen solely to make the laws
interfere with their gratuitous advice. it is
he who has the right to complain, and not
they because their advice is unheeded.''

THEY ALL DO 1T.

The Governors letter to the Troy CHE
is severely criticized by everybody. Not
only is it condemned by those journals that
have no particular admiration for His Ex.
cellency, but even those that are his bes,
friends find it impossible to discover any
thing in the document, or in the motives
that prompted it, which they can endorse
or defend. Take the following, for in
stance, from the Pleasan.on OJserrer of the
9th:
1t seems TO us that the Governor has gone a

CAN THEY ne COMPELLED TO
PAY.

The debate in the United States Senate
on the bill to compel the Pacific railroads
to provide a sinking fund for the payment
Of their Indebtedness, has brought forth the
very astonishing proposition that Congress
has no authority to compel these institutions
to pay their debts. Senator Matthews, OF
Ohio, who is good lawyer, asserts that
Congress has no authority to force the roads
to provide sinking-fund, and that it is
better for the Government to lose all il has
loaned them than give its assent to a bill
which in effect upsets the decisions of the
Supreme Court, and Senator Hill of Geor-
gia declares that there is no legislative
power to compel a railroad to pay its debts:
these roads were not incorporated TO pay
their debts, but TO carry freights and pas
sengers; the courts are the proper authori-
ties to compel the payment OF debts" Com
menting upon this, the ST. Louis Republican
of the Sth says:
Ifthis strange doctrine Is true il is impor-
tant that the public shall know it, and there
ought to be q final determination of IL by the
highest tribunal of the land as soon as il can
be obtained. II ii be true that the charter OF
the roads Cannot be altered without their
consent, then they are not bound TO pay their
debt to the Government at all. Ifthey pay,
it will be an act Of sovereign grace; if they
refuse TO pay, there is no power 10 compel
them, and the whole debt-sl60,O0 prin-
cipal and interest-will fall on the people. The
congresses of 1862 and 1861 created monopolies
which are beyond the reach of the creator;
they alienaied powers and rights OF the peo-
pie which subsequent congresses are incom.
petent to recall, and they gave TO these mo-
noplies authority over the public, for which
there is no remedy or redress. II seems in
credible that this can be law. Still, senators
and Others who have the reputation of able
jurists, say ii is law; and the question ought
TO be promptly settled. II the people of the
United States, through their supreme lesis-
lature, have no control over the Union and
Central Pacific railroads, let ms know il.

and assert that war Will now be Russia's
fault. if arms are resorted TO. England,
they saw, Is the champion OF international
rights. and in that role should be sustained
by other powers. Ii is also declared that
the carrying out of Russia's proposal TO
restore 10 Turkey certain territory, or to
annul the indemnity clause OF the treaty,
Will be TO vitiate the contract. The St. Pc
tersburg Jounol says that the English cir
cular is lacking in conciliatory views or
proposals, and resentfully repels the charge,
made by Salisbury, that Russia is actuated
by ambitious motives. The London Times
