DESTROYING THE BONDS.

How many people in these United States
are in favor of an act which is at once Tepu-
diation of sacred debt, robbery of hard
working and thrifty men and women, and a
punishment Of those who saved the Union
from rebellion 7 Yet such an act precisely the
Greenback party demands, not by inference,
but formally officially, and III It's most anthem
tic and widely circulated documents. In one
of these, "Meat for Men," page 8, we find it
said, 4" In behalf of labor, this is our demand f"
the demand of the National Grcenbacl
party, by which that document is issued from
its headquarters, and bearing the imprint of
it's National Committee. What Is the demand 2
These words follow:
Burn every United States bond. as they who hold
the bonds obtained them by taxing In and burning the
greenbacks or they It, retire them. Lot Con-
gress as soon we. the people. De heard in that
heretofore UNANIMOUSLY corrupt body OF plunderers de-
clare that iu order save tho American Republic the
bonds must be and destroyed slavery
destroyed.
This is not demand for the payment of
the bonds according to the contract, IN coin
"Of the United States" If it were though
the bondholder could not legally object, it
would be UNANIMOUSLY cruel and oppressive to

it's definitions and derivations and in these parcu-
lars we do not hesitate 10 cay that Webster sur
passes all other English dictionaries. He is fuller
and more thorough. In the former respect there
could be no better judge than the courts of law,
where justice often hangs on the mere shade OF
meaning of word, and both Lord Chief-Justice
Cockburn, of England, and Cbief-Justice Waite. OF
our own Supreme Court, have acknowledged Web
ster as the standard authority where they have had
occasion to refer to the definition of words In
etymoogy, equally important to the scholar, but
less SO to the public generally, the authority OF
Webster is also unqnestioned. DR.. BaAn, Of Ger
many one Of the foremost philOlogists living
gave i've years of devoted labor to this part of
the present work, and no one who has at all ex-
amined it can have failed to be struck with its
completeness. Nothing has yet been done else
where that can compare with 1t.
We hope we have thus explained, to the satisfac-
ton of whomsOeyer it may concern, our position
with reference to the dictionary question; and if it
shall appear that we consider Webster 7" the best"
Our meaning will have been correctly understood
Quoting Tho London Quarterly, one Of the safest
of English periodicals, we may say " As it stands
tits certainly the best practical English Dictionary
extant."

force the people TO get together by taxation
the eighteen hundred millions of coin required
to pay the bonds according to contract. what
is proposed is to burn tho bonds without pay
ing for them anything but eighteen hundred
millions of paper dollars. Does the Green
back party care whether such an issue of paper
would be constitutional Not in the least ;
the Supreme Court has already virtually decided
that further issue of legal-tcnders in time OF
peace would be unconstitutional and void, but
the Greenback party is looking for a short
road 70 the reputation of all obligations.
Does it care for the contract There was
once in existence a class Of bonds which
Stevens, Butler, and others contended were
payable in currency, but all those bonds hare
been retired. Not bond is now outstanding,
among all the Issues pledging payment OF
! 81, 500. 100000 in gold, concerning which
there is any doubt or dispute that the con-
tract requires payment in coin.
The purpose is plain. The leaders or the
Greenback party know that any additional
issue of $1,000, 100000 Of paper notes, OF
even a quarter of that amount, would render
! the whole worthless. Nobody would take
such paper for food. shelter, clothing or labor.
! TO force the bondholdcr to take such paper,
is exactly the same as to force him to take
wrapping-papcr or cabbage-leaves for his
bonds. 1t would be naked robbery of the in
dustrious workmen who have saved little
from their earnings to invest in bonds; OF the
wives and widows whose whole means of sup
port are so invested of the millions who have
| trusted their money to savings-banks in order
that United States bonds and other safe Sc
curities might be held for their account. The
rich few would forosce the storm, and get rid
of their bonds by prompt sales. The awful
robbery of millions of citizens who have
trusted the honor of the United States would
come with crushing force only to the INDUS
trous and the helpless. But it is natural
that those who have no honor should show no
pity nor manhood.

There is nothing more painful in the dis
closures of corruption in South Carolina and
Florida than the ruin they have wrought 10
regulations that were once thought far and
the disgrace with which they have covered
men who move in a society where dishonor is
regarded as the worst of misfortunes The
detection of John f. Coyle and Smith NJ. Weed
in the act of bribery caused no great surprise
to the public, and perhaps no great anguish to
the cuIprts themselves. But when the offence
is fastened upon Manton Marble, who has
been accustomed TO associate with gentlemen.
and upon some inmate of the household of
the candidate who for five years has
Wanted his labors in political reform
az his chief claim to the first mag
istracy Of the Nation, we find ourselves
wondering whether public virtue is extinct in
this unfortunate country, and truth and sim
cerity are lost virtues. Such an unvciling of
meanness, false-pretepce and swindling il q
bitter encouragement to those who are irving
to improve our political methods, and could
not fail to have a bad effect upon the morality
of the average office-seeking class were not

The Republican Conference Committee has
agreed upon a ticket for local officers,
which is composed of representatives of
both the Republicans and Anti-Tammany
Democrats, and which will be sub
mitted to the Conference Committee Of
the later organizations to-day. The ticket
names Edward Cooper for Mayor, proposes
the denomination of the present efficient Dis
trict-Attorney. Mr.. Phelps, names exAlder-
man Rufus b. COwing for City Judge, and
divides the Aldermen-at-Large and COrOners
between the two parties. Mr. Coop
er's name is one which will command
universal respect, and he would undoubtedly
make a strong candidate; but inasmuch as it
is not yet definitely assured that there will
be a union of the two divisions of the OppO-
sitiOn to Tammany upon the ticket of
which he has been made the head, it
is not necessary, at present to discuss it
at length. 1t is obvious, however, that it
shows, in several respects, greater political
skill than Mr.. Kelly displayed in making up
his ticket. and deeper sense, as well, of the
requirements of taxpayers.

Mr. Henry Hayemeyer makes statement
with regard to the cipher kilograms WHICH
unlike the various statements made by other
persons concerned in the scandal-scems 10 be
frank and satisfactory. He says that the tele-
grams were sent to his address originally with
out his consent-a fact which we had heard
before. He adds that he knew nothing Of
their contents that he could not read them
if he would that they were intended for
"other persons" and were taken away by q
messenger; and that none of the cipher dis
patches which bear his initials were sent by
him or by his authority. All this agrees
entirely with the information which has reached
US from other sources. Mr.. Havcmeyer Omits
to mention who the persons were that fetched
away the avalanche of kilograms, but prob
ably the public can supply the information
for themselves.

The institution which has already done such
good work as a seaside sanitarium at Far
Rockaway is about to continue its usefulness
by becoming a Winter home for convalescents
from the hospitals of this city. Tho good
such q home can do scarcely needs de-
scription. The hospitals are often compelled
to keep patients longer than is absolutely
necessary because, while they are sufficiently
recovered to be discharged from medical care,
they have not yet the strength to endure the
privation which they would doubtless cncoun-
ter when once turned into the streets again.
On the other hand, it may easily be that pa
tents are sometimes discharged too soon.
1t is proposed to receive these convalescents
at Far ROckaway, and to give them an oppor-
tunity to recruit their strength in the bracing
air of the seaside before beginning life anew.
To do this there must be money, for which Mr.
Henry King makes his appeal elsewhere

many thus deprives its party of one of its
Rblest representatives
The great fair which opens this evening in
the new Catholic Cathedral will evidently be
one of the most imposing ever held in this
city, and will attract many thousands of
people who are eager to see the interior of the
magnificent edifce which has been so many
years in process of erection 1t IS hoped that
q large amount of money will be raised.
The grades in the Legion of Honor con-
ferred on Americans yesterday in Paris, form
a gratifying addition to the long list of awards
which our industries received there. In
placing Mr.. Edison among the chevaliers, the
French President has in particular evinced
progressive spirit, as well as a sense Of en-
lghtened discrimination.
1t seems that Lord Beaconsfeld is not as
London letter shows, the nch peer be has
been said to be, and the subscription to the
Princess Alice fund with which he was cred
tied in the newspapers would have taken, If
he had made it, no mean part of his income
And that income he was not above increasing
by drawing two salaries until, for political
reasons, he resigned one of them.
We do not perceive any burning anxiety in
the public mind TO hear from Smith NJ. Weed.
That he will deny that be ever heard of any
corrupt proposition is regarded as certain
man who can make or receive such proposals
is not likely to be much a5ashed at having to
tell a few falsehoods. Shll. by way of sup
porting Mr.. Tilden, denial from Mr. Weed
would be in order Only he had better make
it little more stiff than the declarations Of
Marble, COyle and WOOlley.
What is said to be the oldest house in
America, standing in Suffolk County, is to be
torn down, it seems, by purchaser who wants
the ground on which to build a residence.
There is little hope that so interesting relic
will be preserved When it cost an effort to
save the Old South Church, In Boston, not
even the exertiODs of antiquaries would be
