National banks that such loss does not to tho

TO reduce its circulation, amount of legal-tender
notes equal TO the proposed reduction is deposited
in the United States Treasury, and remains there

construction, warming and ventilation OF our
school-houses, in school desks and seats, and
in many of the newer textbooks, we deserve
the credit we have gained here. But nothing
can be more bare of all incentives or helps to
learning than American schoOl-hOuses COM
pared to those of Germany, Russia or Sweden,
with their innumerable pictures. casts, models
and real objects and in the principles, the
great motives and the systems of teaching we
have IN many of our schools (and those,
too. which rank hlgh) much to learn.
A hopeful sign of progress is the willing
ness evinced by so maug'Of our teachers to
change their theory and practice for better
ones. Their own experience shows them that
pupil has learned his most useful lesson
when he begins to understand how much he
has yet to learn.

"Fiat money" which was issued under the
most favorable conditions in Turkey, is prov
ing to be a worthless expedient When in
1876 Sntan Murad set up his printing press,
he resolved to issue only $13,50O, 600 in
paper currency, although there were cOnstitu-
tional restraints in the way, nor was any part
of the Empire at liberty, like California, to null
lily his financial DEGREES The Sultan's purpose
met with little respect. War being at hand,
his successor set the presses gong again,
and according to trustworthy estimates, he had
issued, by the end of November, 1877, more
than S1OO,O0O,000 in absolute money"
While hOstlitIes lasted the Ottoman Govern
ment managed to exist on this basis, taking
care when foreign debts for war NUM-
tons were to be paid, to have gold
at hand for that purpose. But the
Old-fashiOned laws of trade have now
made themselves heard. Finding themselves
oppressed with taxes, and compelled to take
deprecated currency, the bakers simply re-
solved to suspend business. This has brought
Abdul Hamid to his senses. Fearing bread
riots. he has RENTED the grain tax, and
appointed a commission to adjust the cur
rency. The commissioners have already pro-
per cent bonds, the interest on which is to
be paid by direct taxes, raised under the SUI
pervision of a bankers syndicate This is, of
course, a feeble remedy. The interest will
probably never be paid the bonds are never
likely to be redeemed in anything but paper.
The national wealth land materially
Turkey is by no means pOor-ls the com
mon basis for each, but that does
not prevent the currency from utter
depreciation, nor the bonds from being alb
solutely unstable. The Massachusetts Green
hackers propose to Danish forever from
america the idiotlc propositions of making
commodities of shifting values and articles OF
merchandise, like gold and silver, a basls for
"money." If this "idiotic" proposal is ever
carried ont, the Turkish merchants will no
doubt be glad to accept our discarded basis"

At least the Massachusetts, Greenback party has
some idea of consistency and some senstiveness to
rdiculc The proposal to invoke the divine bless
ing" on the proceedings at Boston was received
with jeers and laughter, and "motiOn to dispense
with religious exercises was agreed to-" 1t would
be rather too much of an absurdity to begin an at
tack upon civilization with prayer. These Butler
men see, and are not ashamed to acknowledge, that
the society which they aim to establish is utterly
inconsistent with the principles of Christianity, and
with that respect for individual rights and for per-
sona freedom which the divine master taught to an
astonished world. They seeking to take us back
into the darkness of Pagan barbarism, to destroy
the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free;
and they do well to dispense with religious exer-
cises."

Nothing can be more terrible than the
scenes in Memphis which are described in our
Washington dispatches. DIR. Pease, who has
returned with several associates from that
valley of death, has battled four times
with yellow fever, once in Bombay,
again In Key West and twice in New-Orleans,
but finds the present plague worse than
anything he had experienced or imag-
med. The city is a vast charnel-house,
and the stencil of the fever fills the
air. The streets are empty, save when
death-cart passes. The stores are closed !;
neither medicines nor provisions are TO be
had; the poor sufferers, many of them starv-
ing, crawl into their tenements or lie down
under the fences of the parks to die unat-
tended. Such CHASTITY scenes as these make
the blood run cold. The cry that comes to us
from the Southwest grows mere piteOus each
day. The North must do mOre--far more than
it has.

Like political Heller, no pulls up his sleeves, he

nothing concealed there is positively no apparatus

And yet. If we did not know that Mr. Tilden stood
so fast in the very focus Of the rays of truth, we
might be disposed to suspect that there were things

grams that ought to be explained What could his
confidential friend in Columbia have meant by tele-
graphing, during the progress of the Canvassing
Boards operations:

What was it that he could absolutely procure

The Yellowstone mOccasin is on the other
leg. Instead of being entrapped and butch
cred in cold blood by treacherOus Bannacks,
General Miles and his detachment have sur
prised hostile band, killing thirteen war
riOrs and taking thirty-iOUr prisoners. The
General is TOO wide-aWake campaigner to

ladies in the party to be protected.
Senator Blaine is not disheartened by the
ambiguous results of the Name election. He
is even more earnest than before in advOeat-
ing the principles of honest money, sound
finance and National honor. In the course of
bis speech at 0gdensburg he declared that if
the financial question were not settled Alright,
and political currency were voted up and
down by Congress, it would be as dire in
effect as the pestileDce now devastating the
South. The language was none too strong.

The platform prepared in advance for the
New Hampshire Democratic Convention was
dreary and inane series of platitudes. The
stradde on the currency question was very
clumsy, and the fraud claptraD very tame.
Something shOwy-something above the level
of Bourbon cOmmOnplace-was needed. Up
rose an uneasy delegate from Rochester to
plead the cause of the Oyertaxed and labor
"ing classes" and to recommend the passage
of little platform of his own manufacture.
These resolutions, it is needless to say, advO-
Gated the taxation of Government securities,
the repeal of the National Bank Act, the
payment of bonds Sin the moneys OF the
Government" the elision of the words "gold
land silver" in the contract to pay, and
the repeal of the UBIQUITOUS, deceiving
"and claDtrap Resumption act" This
spirited policy had charms for the rural dele
gates, and the two platforms were securely
cOupled-the private dirt-car close behind the
directors coach. The member from Rochester
not having a candidate of his own with adj
yanced ideas, Frank A. Mexican was noml-
mated without dissent. With their own uncOm-
promising platform and popular candidate the
Republicans can carry the State if they make
a determined effort. If the text of the ''fraud"
resolution In the Democratic platform needs
any commentary, Matt Head, the victim of the
dsreputabe Senate steal of 1875, can GER
tainly supply it on the stump.

If the latest story about the latest discovered of
the innumerable heirs of A. T. Stewart is true, a
new danger is added to the long catalogue of mis-
cries entaed upon rich mans legatees. Enter
prising lawyers can begin suit against the estate
without the knowledge of the persons who figure
rs plaintiffs, or drag inofensiye and unambi-
tious old persons out of rural obscurity push them
into court before they know what has happened,
aud make them swear to ahidavits that they cannot
read and to complaints that they do not under
stand. We presume that if Mr.. Kneeland is such an
ornament to the bar as this sensational narrative by
Mr. Ira Sbafer represents him, the courts will lose
no time i'm presenting him with q testimonial
that will last him lifetime. and facilitate his
trance into some other sphere of industry. But the
average layman, unfamiliar with the necessities of
courts aud codes has long been persuaded that the
statutes give too much opportunity for vexatiOus
and blackmaling SUITS and that the ease with
which a great estate can be attacked-and almost
always is attacked-by claimants who have no case,
and no object except TO be bought oil, is one of the
great scandals Of the law.
