ry 10 the South or the West. Mr.. Hill
wants silver, but he wants the coinage
limited, and be wants its legal tender
power limited. II looks 10 us very
much like the gentleman, having dis.
covered that the gold bugs are defeat.
cd, wants to tighten their defeat as
much as possible. BANDS Sill.
yer Bill provides that the old silver
dtllsr shall be a legal tender,
and that it shall be coined at the minis
on The same terms hat g0ld is coined.
And that Is all there is Of it. Mr.. Hill
objects to placing the coinage Of silver
on an equality with that Of gold be.
cause gold is more valuable than sill
YER. To use his language, it costs no
more to coin a 800 gold piece than II
does to coin a silver dollar. This fact
proves nothing that should weigh the
least against the Bland Bill. 1t costs no
more for the Government to print
a 800 ~greenback, than II does
for it TO print a one dollar greehback
yet the Government printed both &C.
cording to the demand for them. So
learned a Constitutions lawyer as Mr..
Hill, should know that It is the bust,
ness of the Government 10 coin money,
and there can be no reason why the
Government should make a distinction
against oliver and in favor of gold,
unless it wishes TO favor the
rich at the expense Of the poor.
lie favored an amendment that would
limit the coinage. Why? Is money
SO plentiful that people who need 1t
can get It too easily? By no means.
Then why does Mr.. Hill favor a limit.
oil coinageI As he didn't give any
reason, we suppose it was to better en-
able the negroes of Georgia, for whom
he expressed great sympathy, to get
silver to hoard. 1t seems to strike the
Senator that the harder it is for tie me-
groe9 to get II, the more Of 1t they will
be able to save.
lie wants ii limited in its legal ten
der capacity 10 amounts OF one hun
dred dollars. That Is to say, he is will
ing TO see it made good enough TO pay
the debts amongst poor people, but he
doesn't want rich people to be forced
to take it for large amounts. That will
do, Mr.. Hill, if you really and earnest
~ desire the restoration Of the silver
dollar to the currency of the country,
as you claimed In the first part of your
speech, you had beat vote for the Bland
bill.

OyE Of the lodges Of the enemies Of

Of aid by the Govern nent would be all

that no true friend Of Southern inter-

England's Rival Political Lead.


A correspondent OF the Figaro has
been at work on Lord Beaconsfeld and
Mr.. Gladstone. OF the former, this au-
thority writes: "His wrinkled yellow
visage has not a shadow of distinction
about II, the frightful little tufl Of
beard at the end OF his chin giving him
quite the air OF one OF those Jew old
clothes-men, who walk the streets Of
London with hat in each hand" He
has no country tastes, but likes to
promenade the beautiful domain Of
Hughenden, feigning IN interest In the
growth Of wheat and the condition of

us stern of face and somewhat prig.
gish, like Guizot. Pious, moral and
awkwardly stiff, he looks on Disraeli

In view Of the prospect of the Bland
Silver Bill becoming a law, Secretary
Sherman becomes f%acetious, and 1t is
said, threatens to pay in silver coin the
quarterly salaries of the members of
Congress. To do this would require
an aggregate OF nearly $1,000 pounds
Of silver, and each member would re.
ceive about 100 pounds. This, OF
course, is nonsense, az there would be
no more necessity to make large pay
ments of silver in bulk than there was
to pay in gold by the hundred weight
when II was tho legal tender. Moreo'
yer, to carry out Sherman's absurdity
II weuld be necessary to give employ
ment, with wheelbarrows and carts, to
many poor men at the capital, and 10
erect suitable store-rooms for the pur-
pose, giving work to q large force oil
mechanics; and as 1t is quite contrary
to Mr.. Shermsn's principles TO give any
poor man a chance of making q dime
Il It can possibly be avoided, we are
sure that, II he made this silly threat
he will not put il into execution.

Captured by Brigands.

Mr.. John Rose, the Englishman who was
recectly captured by Italian brigands, has
been released. During the earlier days Of
his capture he Jared very well, but later he
had nothing to eat but coarse bread and
the commonest cheese. He has stated that
more than once troops we're within a few
yards of the cavern where he and the brig
ands were hidden. 1t has since trnnspired
that Mr.. Roses release was only effected by
the payment of a ransom of five thousand
pounds. According to details which nave
been published in tho Sicilian newspapers,
Mr.. Rose had to ride for sixteen hours after
he was seized. His horse being at last ex-
hausted it had to be abandoned. The brig
ands, after arriving at the cave, remained
there seven days, being aoundantly supplied
with provisions. On the eighth night the
bfigands, knowing that they were pursued
by a armed force, abandoned the cave, and
remained on the march all night, the same
thing occurring every subsequent night un-
til the captives were released. From morn
ing until midday they remained stationary
in a wood, supporting themselves on poor
fare, consisting of bread, cheese and wine.
In the afternoon the brigsnds, knowing that
the troops were reposing, made exploring
excursions. Mr.. Rose never undressed from
the time of his capture until he was released.
He was set at liberty near the 6ciarra Rail-
way station, and the brigands gave him .
mantle and a cap, with q third-class ticket.
Mr.. Rose has stated that more than once
troops were within q few yards Of the cav
ern where he and the brigands were hidden.
