WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. 1873.


action in refusing to discriminate in
favor of gold after the resumption of
specie payment at the beginning of the
year, the recommendation Of the Clear
ing House Committee sent to confer with
Secretary Sherman, looking to the prac-
tical notification of the reconciliation
legislation of the last session. is very
severely criticized. It can only provoke
retaliation on the part of Congress, and
ignore anything the President might re-
commend or the Secretary of Treasury
do to avert anticipated evils that they
deem only themselves competant to deal
with. 1t is an assumption that few will
quietly acquiesce in. The large major
ity of the voters of this country who
were behind Members of Congress urg-
ing them last winter to vote for the re-
monetization of silver. will resent it as
another of the encroachments Of wealth
concentrated IN the hands Of few men
acting In corporate capacity that have
become altogether too frequent. Public
sediment has been running counter to
corporations of all description for the
past few years, as the source Of greatest
danger to our institutions and is inher-
emily antagonistic to the real interests
of labor, and that feeling can but re-
ceive decided impetus from this move
ment of the banks to make themselves
superior to Congress. 1t can but oper-
ate to check the return of confidence
which must underlie any general bust
ness revival and return of prosperity.
And it offers precisely the pretext de-
sired by Congressional demagogues and
the financial experimenters to resump-
tion of the financial tinkering of the
last two sessions, at the coming one. Not
a few 60 so far as to predict that it will
have the effect to revitallze the rag
baby which has been counted dead since
the elections of the 9Th inst. On the
whole it is regarded here as a movement
calculated to react injuriously upon
about all of our great interests, politi-
cally and otherwise. 1t is hoped that
the banks may be moved by the storm
already aroused, to relinquish all idea
of a conflict in which, if provoked, they
must ultimately 60 to the wall.

bury's reply TO Secretary Evart's note,
protesting against the position virtually
taken by the British Foreign Office that
it is competent for mob Of Newfound-
lers to pass upon and settle international
disputes, has been published. 1t must
be regarded as very diplomatic inasmuch
as it takes several columns for the noble
Lord to express what the average edu-
Gated business man could express quite
as well. much more clearly, indeed, in
one-fourth the space consumed. AS Mr..

ed from the offensive position to which
Lord Salisbury committed her, and as
we have made arrangements to pay the
award on or before the day stipulated
it is presumed that our Secretary
of State CONSTITUTES Salisbury's reply as {
concession of the point in dispute. Bu
very few having any business of thei
own to attend to will undertake to wad,
through the mass of verbiage and tn,
labyrinths of circumlocution of tn,

tains. They will prefer to take tn,
Secretary's word for it. hoping that hi
ingenuity can suggest some way b,
which we may be partially compensate,
for the payment of an award that hat
no equitable foundation, but which We

respect. However the matter promise
a tedious correspondence in order t.
