An ADMIRABLE SPEECH,

Senator Ben Hill, OF Georgia, has
done and said many things that we do
not admire, but we frankly confess that
he has, once at least, challenged our
admiration for his manincss and co1r-
age in standing up for an honest cur
rency against the views of an over
whelming majority of his Southern con-
stituency. Mr.. Hill, standing in his
place in the Senate, advocating a public
measure, fortified by the popular scnti-
ment of his State, however able his
argument or conclusive his reasoning,
would be entitled to no especial credit
by virtue of the act The contrary,
however, is the case, when, as in the
present instance, he has shown himself
possessed of the moral courage to utter
his convictions regardless of the local
opposition they may excite.
His recent speech, in opposition to
the Bland silver hcresy, infused new
life into the debate and gave fresh en-
enlargement to the friends of sound
currency. 1t is pithy, pointed, and
effective attack on the sophstries of the
silver maniacs. His striking and cpl
grammatic prediction, that the Bland
bill will take its place in history Isl
"t the pick-poeket bill of America3 leg
" islation," is one Of those Happy and
concise expressions of truth that effects
more in single sentence than columns
of labored argument Coming from
him, reply to the argument that the
bloated bondholders," who bought
our national securities during the war
only paid sixty cents on the dollar for
them, has especial force and meaning
He was doing all in his power. during

GIDEON WELLES.

The death of Gideon Welles is an
event which will recall many interest
ing recollections of the most heroic
period of our history. 1t was his sim
gular fate to be the least understood
and appreciated of Lincoln's first Cab-
net, and the country had no realizing
sense Of his ability, or of the part he
played in the conduct of the war, until
the old gentleman began to give his
"reminiscences in the Galaxy" Yet
he was one of the most useful mem
bers of the Cabinet. He was not am
bilious of personal distinction, he had
no individual hobbies or ambitions, and
he was emphatically "a Lincoln man, :"
all through the war-patient faithful
laborious, sagacious and patriotic.
The literary ability he displayed in
his later years astonished those who
knew little or nothing of his early ex-
perence as an editor over fifty wears
ago. His Galaxy articles are among
the most valuable and best written con-
tributons to the inside history of the
war. They show keen insight into
character, great faculty for exposing
humbugs and shams, and a logical
power not often exhibited By them
he will be longest remembered, aud
they will be regarded as among the
best tributes ever paid to Lincoln.

his clothes. He tainted the pacific
champion Of Tilden's interest with bar
tering away his party elimination
and recrlmination followed, while liar"
and trader became the current cpl
thets of the hour The Congressional
cockpit was stirred to its depths, and
that relic of barbarsm, the duello, sug-
gested as the only relief for its bis
Ting brawlers. No blood was spilled
however, for it was froth alone that
toamed from their wordy weapons.
Upon these disgraceful scenes, enacted
by its accredited Representatives, a
great nation looks calmly but reproach-
fully. The pressing business demands
Of country embarrassed in every
branch of its commerce trade, and in
dustries are sunk as unmportant in
comparison with the personal ends and
aims of paltry politicians. Great ma
tioual interests wait the pleasure Of
these men, and tremble in anxious eX-
pectation Of the tinkering touch Of Con-
gressional folly. while, from the multi
form industries Of the land, hourly as
cends to heaven one common PRAYER,

Again. Mr.. Belmont gives Mr. Hen
bricks home thrust: As Gov Hen
bricks so well said in his speech of Sep
TENDER, 1874, which quoted with pride
and confidence in several speeches dur
ing the last Presidential canvass, when
he was assailed as an inhationist and
repudiator: A lower standard cannot
be set up for the Government than that
which measures the rights and liabli-
ties of individuals His comparison is
most happy, and fits the present case
exactly If farmer has contracted a
mortgage on his farm, which he can
paw the interest OF either in wheat or
barley, and has not only paid it in
wheat for years, but also has given
notice to the mortgagee that he has
abandoned the option Of paying in bar
ley, can he afterwards, when upon the
strength Of that public notice the mort
gage has been sold and is in the hands
of third parties who have given full
value for it, based upon the price of
wheat, then repeal his engagement, re-
pudiate his notice, and pay in barley
which had fallen off in its market price,
and so cause a serious loss to the inno-
cent holder?"
Mr. Belmont's expose of the fallacious
financial doctrines, now taught by Mr..
Hendricks and his silver associates is
both timely and complete. The great
shutfler never seemed more thoroughly
himself than now so perfectly pictured
by his own party associate. The CON
trast between him and either Mr. Bay
yard or Ben Hill is both striking and

HENDRICKS HANDLED WITHOUT
GLOVES.

1t is seldom indeed, in the history Of
politics that party leader has received
such a thorough and complete thrash
ing, at the hands of one of his own
political family, as Mr. Hendricks. the
late Democratic candidate for the Vice.
Presidency, has had inflicted upon him
by the former Chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, Mr.. August
Belmont. Not only is Mr. Hendricks con-
victed of the grossest Inconsistencies in
his expressed opinions and speeches upon
national finances, but stripped of his
DISCUSSES by the sharp pen of Mr. Bel
mont, he stands out in all his naked
deformity as an inveterate demagogue
and trimmer By his own speeches,
delivered in 1869 and again in 1873.
Mr. Hendricks is reminded bv Mr.. Bel
mont that the former had distinctly as
serted that the government bonds should
be paid in gold, exclusively in gold"
and not as now claimed by him, "paya-
Bile in coin," not referring especially to
gold, but in any deprecated coinage
that Congress may authorize.
To another of Mr. Hendricks state
ments, "that it is not the right of the
public or private creditor either to say
to Congress you shall not exercise the
constitutional power of coming money
and regulating the value thereof, be-
cause, by changing the standard, YOU
may change the value of investments.
We have not recognized such rule
Mr.. Belmont SAYS: a Sultan or
Gar could wish no more al-sweeping
power over property OF his subjects
than that which this distinguished
Democrat puts forth from his Western
home as rule for the Federal authori-
ties at Washington. The assumptions
of the Paris Commune were clumsier
attacks on the rights of property.
: | can only say that if Governor
Hendricks arguments are good enough
to prove the Coinage act of 1873 re-
pealable by the Silver bill declaring
4l2.5 grains Of legal-tender for every
debt now payable only in 25.s grains of
gold, then they are good enough to
prove the Lcgal-tcnder act consttu-
tional, to justify imitation till our green

surrender by England of dignity and
international influence. That she will
go to war rather than do this is the
inevitable conclusion 1t would belle

every principle of right and justice, so

OUTwITTED, outgeneralled, played
with and treated almost with contempt,
the British cabinet still goes on max
ing blunder after blunder, and every
day finding itself still deeper in the
mlre, and its position still more diff
cult and embarrassing than ever before
Literally, the government of Great
Britain seems at every step to have
done those things which they ought
not to" have done, and to have cleft
undone those things which they ought
to- have done. To have sent por-
ton of the fleet to Constantinople
months ago, at the opportune moment,
by and with the consent of Turkey,
was an easy thing 10 do, and could
have been done without endangering
the peace of England with Russia or
any other power, while it would have
eifectually barred the entrance of Rus
sian troops into Constantinople, even if
it did not prevent their advance south
of the Balkans. To wait until Russia
was practically master of the OAR
danelles, and then order the fleet to go
to Constantinople, was simply to justify
and necessitate the entry of the Rus
sian forces into Constantinople To
expect Russia to have done otherwise
was to expect she would waive all the
first fruits Of her victories and accept
the subordinate role Of second-rate
European power obeying the dictation
of England. The merest tyro in dipIo-
macy certainly might have foreseen all
this, and it becomes, therefore, ques-
ton of more than passing wonder, how
such an astute politician as Lord Bea-
consfield could have gone on so per-
sistently in the practice of such con-
tinuous blunders There is no longer
any possibility of a continuance of this
policy of vacillation without an utter
