The Needs Of the Times
Editor of the Sentinel:

To the Editor Of the Sentinel:
SIR-It is said that when we were the most
prosperous, about 1872 and 1873, that there
was only about from three to five per cent.
of money TO from % to 81 per cent. credit
that entered into and did the business. IL
this is true is it anything wonderful that
business should be stagnated with all that
great amount Of credit that was used as a
medium of exchange, now almost entirely
withdrawn. with the entire volume of money
currency in circulation then, now locked in
vaults of the banker. What is left for the
we desire prosperity, with these facts before
u.s. are we not displaying very small
amount of business sagacity in demanding
specie resumption? If it were possible,
(which deem questionable, to revive bust
ness to day, this, or next year, what
amount of money would enter the business
channels? Certainly not more than did in
our former prosperous times. Then, if not,
we would again have to resort to that I'M
stable, business destroying credit currency.
All men demand that credit in business shall
cease, and yet a. large proportion of the same
class demand specie resumption. What do
men think of? and when do they intend to
stop this wild financial hobby? Let the pub
lie think more of their business and less OF
bonds and gold, which they now come in
contact with, and demand of their servants
proper legislation in the interest of business
and production, and we will hear no more OF
hard times, panics, and skilled mechanics
and laborers will be known no more as dis
honest tramps. III. G. S.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN AGAIN.
An Interview With Lieutenant Schwaf-
ks. Bound for the Polar Regions.

"Yes, hope in June TO start in search of
the remains of Sir John Franklin" said
Lieutenant Schwatka, L. S. A 20 a Post re-
porter last evening at the Ebbltt house.
Last summer, you may remember, a whal-

and other relics OF Sir John Franklin, which
had been given them by the Eskimo in King
Williams land AT the same time they
spoke of cabin which had been built by
the great captain" as they called Franklin.
from which these things had been obtained,
and where they said were e number of
bodies. The Eskimo said that portion of
the country was occupied by the Nachillas.
a fierce, war like tribe, Of whom they
were afraid. This intelligence was dis
cussed by the New York geographical
society at one of their meetings and excited
a great deal OF interest. Judge DAILY and
other prominent New Workers took hold of
the matter. Morrison Il Brown, the same
firm which fitted out the Polaris, offered the
use or sailing vessel, the Eothen. already
equipped. Myself. with four or five other
persons will constitute the exploring party.

Government Thief Making.
BROOKLYN Eagle.l


Mr.. Evarts is all wrong in his theory of
diplomacy and its needful or salutary ex-
penses. What this country needs at home
and abroad are officials who will set the ex-
ample OF living within their income, no mat
ter what social denials or abatement Of dis
play it involves. Mr.. Evarts pays out his
whole salary for rent and lets IL be known
that he does. His legal right to Go 20 is as
unquestioned as the elegance Of the hospi-
tallty which he maintains by his fortune.
Yet the best repast he spreads before his
guests is made up of his wit his cordial
ity and his learning, and while they
earn him more than his salary
six times multiplied outside of his
Office, the salary annexed TO his
desirable luxuries'even of his station. His
influence, ii he sturdily toned down instead
of colored up display at the capital, would
be twice as excellent even il ii were less
than hall as extensive, as II now is. Mr..
Fishs.rate of living was the fact which
operated enviously on the characters Of the
Belknaps and OF Robson, 10 make them
p,underers. As to the English, French and
other missions. James Buchanan and George
Mifiiin Dallas in England, and Charles J.
Faulkner and William l.. Dayton in France,
lived within their salaries on princi pie, and
they were the ablest as well as the best and
the most influential plenipOtentiaries
we have had abroad in mod
ern times. The whole theory that
our ENJOYS must spend fortune to
be on a parity of influence with other en-
voys is q theory of shOddy and our recent
appointments have bsen made in pursuance
Of that theory. Statesmen or scholars who
maintain themselves with simplicity and
within their pay abroad will have twice the
reality of influence of those whose poverty
of character or intellect has to he eclipsed
under blaze of expenditure and display.
The great force in thief making in our sys-
tenn In late years has been the idea that our
officials must somehow or other keep up as
much splendor as those who are made by
governments quite differently modelled from
ours are paid TO do. Mr.. Evarts' theory is
un-American and demoraliziDg, and while
his practice is his own business, that is I'M
American, too.

The RAIDS and Their Administration.
New York Tribunel

There is disposition to quarrel with the
administration. Men say that they will
either openly assail it in state convention or
ignore il. The platforms of state conven-
tions do not seem to us to have crest weight,
but there are voters who do not understand
the philosophy of platform manufacture. If
republicans see fit to ignore their own adj
ministration in their state platforms,
that is a matter chiefly interesting
to them, and we do not know why it should
be interesting to anybody else. As for
assailing the administration, that is differ
ent matter. Republican members Of con-
gress and managing politicians may as well
understand that they can not get rid of
responsibility for this administration.
Whether they like it or not it wss elected
by their votes; it shapes its action in accord
ance with the formal pledges of the party
and II stands, and evidently means to stand,
as a republican administration to the end
To get rid OF it is not easy. People think
that those who elected an administration are
fairly responsible for it, whether it pleases
them or not.

RESUMPTION JANUARY l. 1879.

The action of the senate finance committee
in regard to resumption is attracting deserv-
ed attention. A majority of the committee,
it Is reported, will oppose the repeal of the
resumption law. The senators on the COM
mittee who oppose the repeal are Messrs.
Morrill,, Ferry, Allison, Bayard, Dawes and
Herman. While opposing the repeal of the
law it is stated that an amendment will be in
troduced TO the house bill making legal tender
notes receivable for all purposes after Janu-
airy l, and, in addition to this, providing
against any further contraction OF the cur.
rency. No further relief to the country can
now be hoped for from congress, and the
probabilities are that John Sherman's plans
will be carried out. 1t is well understood
that Hayes would veto the bill repeating the
resumption law should il pass, and it Is
quite as certain that he will veto the bill
as the senate proposes to amend it, and
business men may as well make up their
minds hrst as last to face the situation. The
country is thoroughly advised with regard to
the PROSTATE condition of business. There is
positively no such thing as exaggerating the
situation. Bondholders and money sharks
are the only persons that are bene-
flied by the widespread ruin that
confronts observing men on all sides.
Failures follow each other in rap
id succession; bankrupts multiply in every
direction. The curse Of shrinkage is still
operating upon all descriptions of property,
and those things combining with debt, tax
alton and interest make the immediate
outlook more gloomy than ever. 1t is be-
lieved by honest men of all parties that
vicious legislation has set in operation the
forces that have been productive Of business
disasters, and it is believed that wise
legislation would contribute Immensely TO
the restoration of business prosperity.
The democratic party, in and out of con-
gress, has labored to bring about benefcent
results. and the people will be likely to
make a note of the facts. Unfortunately
the radical senate deprived the silver bill OF
some of its most important features, making
il less powerful for good than democrats de-
signed il should be, and now that it is under
.derstood that the Ubiquitous re-

New York SUM-


Some of our contemporaries seem to sup
pose that Anderson, of New Orleans, can not
be tried again for publishing as true and
using in the official compilation and canvass
of the votes OF Louisiana. the forged CONSOLE
dated statement OF the parish of Vernon
This is not SO. On appeal TO the superior
court, his trial was held to be nullity,
because il was not charged in the Indictment
that the acts of Anderson were done in an
official capacity. Now such a mistrial as
this was held to be is, in the contemplation
of the constitution, no trial. Ii is no bar to
a fresh trial. The law on this subject is
stated by two high authorities as follows
aft the Indictment was so far defective thai
no valid Judgment could be rendered upon it
" the accused may again be put upon
trial upon the same facts before charged
aga INST him, and the proceedings had will con-
stitute no protection. COOLEY, constitution

"Where judgment has been arrested or
reversed for any defect in the indictment,
new one may be referred correcting the error,
and the forlSer can not be pleaded in bar
"WHARToN on criminal law l. sec. SOL.
Anderson is liable also for conspiracy to
make false count of the votes, which in
itself is criminal offense by the laws of
Louisiana.
By all means let Anderson be tried for
one or both of these offenses. In the single
matter of the Vernon parish forgery he is
now liable to two indictments. The indict-
ments he would be liable to for other frauds
in respect to the votes of other precincts
and parishes are countless.
Then there is +. Madison Wells. president
of the returning board Littlefield, the clerk
who committed the Vernon forgery, swore
before Mr. Morrison's committee, and also
before Mr.. DAVID Dudley Fields committee,
that he made the alteration by the express
order of Wells. This testimony, corrobor-
ated by the admissions of Anderson and
Wells before the same committee, and by
many facts established by independent
testimony, shows that Wells was the real
forger.
We may expect justice to be baffled for a
while when the whole power and influence
of the federal government are exercised for
that object. but truth will at length prevail.
Attorney General Ogden has shown yigor
and ability, and if he persists in the same
spirit he must at last completely succeed in
indicating the rights of the people of Lou

The time was when the lobby was
stranger to the United States senate, but to-
day it is the favorite field of the jobber who
can ccme with the resources of a Hunting
ton or Gould. The recent protest of Ed
munds and Thurman against the encroach-
meats of the lobby in the senate, and the
startling disclosures they made on the floor,
have disabled the lobby somewhat, but it
was strong enough yesterday to carry
an adjournment over Thurman on
the railroad funding bill. The house,
with all its many sins, has thus
far escaped the contamination of the
lobby, aud it is admitted that Thurman's
funding bill. requiring the Pacific railroad
plunderers to pay the government what they
owe it, will pass the popular branch if the
senate will send it there. Gould and Hunt
