Tweed be set free. This. however, was
only the beginning Of the movement

The question Of Tweed's release has
again come up and the ex- B oss seems at
last to have some chance of escape from
the jail In which he has been i'm
prisoned half dozen years. Last week
the question came up before the Board
OF Aldermen OF New York. on resoIu-
ton offered by Mr.. Twomey. This res
olution recited that whereas all the
other members Of the Tweed ring had
been released from imprisonment upon
offering to testify In behalf Of the city,
and as Tweed was the most important OF
all the city witnesses, he be released
upon turning over to the city all the
property held by him and agreeing to
testify In all the cases In which the city
might need his testimony.
Some OF the members OF the board
made a serious fight against this and
held that Tweed ought to be kept locked
up as an example to others of the fate
that awaits embezzlement. In these
days Of absconding cashiers. default
ing bank presidents, and embezzle-
ments Of all kinds, said they, good
scare-crow like Tweed could not be
spared. It was true the city could
squeeze no more out OF him, nor secure
any advantage by keeping him locked
up, but the moral effect was good. IF
he was needed as witness, he could
give his testimony just as we'll from the
prison as on the outside,
After long debate the board came to
the conclusion that keeping Tweed in
Jail would not render bankrupt and
scuttled banks any safer, or prevent

The death of Victor Emmanuel, first
king Of Italy, comes at very inoppor-
tune moment. The political affairs in
Europe, already sufficiently complica-
ted, must become rnore 30 by the taking
Off Of man extremely popular with the
italian people, who possessed great
influence over them, from the fact that
it was to hina that united Italy owed It's
birth. The complications that this event
may bring about are many. Italy occu-
pied neutral position In the Eastern
question, and stood also mutual friend
between Germany and France. Victor
Emmanuel was indebted to France for
Lombardy Parma, and indeed the
greater part OF his dominions, and to
Germany for Venice and Rome. The
advantage Of having mediatory power
like this between two powers. that must
always be hostile, can we'll be under
stood.
In the Eastern war question also
Italy occupied neutral position,
pledged to neither party. and might
udV6 u6lp5u 1OLA0V hne w CCbkAO thC AAA-
ficulties that are likely to be developed
by the war.
The death Of Victor Emmanuel, while
1t may not altogether change this
neutral position Of Italy. yet tends to
somewhat unsettle Its relations with
other powers. The King himself was
extremely friendly both to France and
to the Pope. He had fought side by
side with MacMahon at Magenta, and
naturally inclined to a union with that
country. @.m
/ King Humbert does not enjoy these
recollections or associations. The fact
that France has robbed Italy Of Nice,
as most Italians are wont to assert, and
the conflict between the Italian govern
ment and the Ultramontanists will
naturally incline Italy to lean more
towards Germany than to France.
What effect the accession Of Humbert
to the throne will have on the Eastern
question and the election to fill the
papacy in the event of the Pope's death,

The selection OF Pendleton dis Senator
from Ohio by the Democratic cadcus, to
succeed Stanley Matthews, whose term
expires In 1879. shows that the people Of
Ohio are firm supporters Of the sill
yer bill and opponents OF the resump-
ton act. Stanley Matthews, elected
by the Republicans, Is one Of the strong
est adherents Of the silver bill In the
Senate, and now the Democrat elected
to succeed him Ia as equally earnest In
Its favor, showing that both the Dem
ocrats and Republicans Of Ohio enter
tain the same financial views.
Pendleton Is an even more pro-
nounced opponent of the bondhold-
ing interests of the East than Mat
thews. He has never concealed his
opinions on financial questions, and
only last week, while his case was be-
fore the Legislature OF Ohio, laid
down his platform as the repeal OF the
resumption act, the reconciliation OF
silver, with free coinage and unlimited
legal tender; the payment OF customs
dues either in silver or greenbacks
40 contraction Of greenbacks; the
issue Of all circulating medium by the
government, making all silver, gold
Ind greenbacks equally legal tender,
and making the paper and coin inter-
convertible at par. Such, he declares,
Is the platform on which he has been
standing ever since 1868, and which he
will endeavor to carry out when he
takes hisAseat in the Senate.

The flag question in Kentucky has
raised no little excitement In that State,
and from the hot and fiery arguments
developed In its Legislature on this oc-
casion, IL would appear as IL Kentucky
was suspected Of meditating secession
from the Union. ~ a.
In the Senate Of Kentucky, one OF the
members called attention to the fact
that the State House had no star span
gled banner floating over 1t as is usual
In other States when the Legislature 10
in session. He proposed. therefore,
that the sergeant-at-arm should be
authorized at once to hoist the flag of
our fathers. Opposition being made
thereto, 1t was discovered that the State
OF Kentucky possessed no flag. The
flag" man then offered are solution
setting aside a sufficient fund from the
State treasury to procure flag with
which to adorn the State House.
On this point the storm arose. The
proposition was opposed, and although
the flag men denounced their opponents
Us rebels, enemies and haters of the
aag. and OF the Union, the resolution
was voted down. This, of course, has
given the Radical papers an opportuni-
ty OF sneering at Kentucky. 1t Is said
that certain Ohio Republicans have
even gone 80 far as TO donate flag to
Kentucky in order to see whether the
legislators OF that State will refuse to
allow 1t to be hoisted over the State
House.
The whole difficulty arises from q
misunderstanding almost identical with
Tat which occurred on the occasion OF
the last Atlanta Fourth Of July pro-
cession. t.
The Northern Radical press howled |
over this procession because no Ameri- |
can flags had been carried In it. To |
this the Georgians promptly replied |
that the procession was Of the State |
militia, and that these naturally carried |
the State flag of Georgia just as the |
Federal troops carried the Federal flag. |
Similarly in Kentucky the Legisla-
ture held that the State. House was es-
sentially State building; that while
the Legislature was In session the Stats |
flag might, with reason, adorn the
building, but there was little sense or
In running out a star spangled
banner on that occasion. #fa
Altogether the reasohiAy on both
sides seems rather stretched. It Is 80
evident, however. thlat no Insult to the
flag was intended, that the bitterest
Radical papers have failed to arouse
that dormant ire over the fight.
That might have been expected under
the circumstances. Indeed, the At
lanta affair has convinced them OF their
inability to show that the people OF the
South do not cherish as much venera-
ton for the banner, first raised In the
South, as those Of Vermont or Ohio.

IT is noteworthy that the fall in
the premium Of gold has taken
place in spite of the expected pas
sage of legislation such as is out
lined in the Stanley Matthews
silver resolution. II we were to
credit the New York newspapers,
which are run entirely in the inter-
est of the bondholding and capital
let classes, the wreck of matter
and the crash of worlds would be
expected to follow any such legis-
lation. The fact is that, with sill
yer remonetized, and with the in.
terest on the National debt paid, at
the option Of the Government, in
silver, investment in United States
bonds. with their comparatively
high rate of interest, is very en-
ticing thing to inhabitants of 8
country positively glutted with
money. AS compared with Turkish
Peruvian and the score of othel
bonds which have been largely
dealt in by British capitalists, they
are positively nonpareil.

THE Associated banks Of New
York are beginning to seriously
contemplate the establishment Of
a day on and after which all their
transactions will be on a gold basis.
The margin between paper money
and specie is becoming so small
that such action hardly appears to
be premature. What effect the
imminent reconciliation of silver
will have on such a programme at
this day is fruitful scheme for
speculation. 1t seems to US that
there are, for the coming six
month or a year, elements of I'M
usual fiuctuation in the business
affairs of the United States. If,
silver bill anu all, the jump
should be made, and we should
prove to have landed gently and
and without any perceptible jar, all
the elements of an unusually vigor-
Gus business revival would exist in
the United States.
