tive Of this movement, which is not revealed
on its face. Why was the BLAND bill dis
placed, in order to give an ineffective and
merely dcclaratory resolution precedence
The same and perhaps even larger ma
jOrity. could have been commanded Tor
bill to rcmonctizc silver; and yet that ma
jority preferred to vote Il sentiment rather
than TO vote practical measure.
A strong belief Is entertained at washing
ton that this scheme was devised by STAN
LEY MATTHEWS. with the knowledge and
consent of HAYES as n method ~ preparing
the way for the signature Of silver bill. IL
will be easy for him to say, II so disposed
that Congress, 10y an extraordinary vote
first gave utierancc to its opinion, and then,
by solemn legislation. affirmed II in meas
urc which he is called upon TO sign, or to
veto against great majority of each
IUu-c. composed of both parties.
That wuuid D." likc li,Nts. though In the
end he may take different course. No in
ference as to his final action can be drawn
from any language he may use to those who
confer with him on this or any other sub
jcct. In repeated eases he has held out the
strongest hope Of appointments being made
when other nominations were already pre-
pared in the Secretary room. and about to
be sent to the Senate. Those who leave him
believe their views and their wishes are To
bc at once adopted. When members OF the
Syndicate called at the White House last
week. they went away assured that HAYES
was entirely Of their way Of thinking on
finance. If Mr.. BLAND had followed them.
hc would have received n similar impress
sion. And when both had gone, If STANLEY
MATTHEWS had stepped in. they would have
chucklcd over the gullibility of the human
family. Nothing that HAYES has spoken or
written will bind him. II he believes per-
sonal point il to I've made by signing silver
bill. he Will certainly sign it. And ~ in re-
gard to veto. No principle or conviction
will for a moment disturb the Fraudulent
President in either ease.

who resigned his Office because hc could not
keep sober enough 10 perform it, duties is
one which Mr. HAYES cannot study too care
fully. We are not aware that the occupant
Of the White House ever gets drunk. al

his guests in the shape OF brandy punch
fraudulcntly concealed in orange skins. The
Lesson taught him 10y the Mayor Of Dcs
Moincs is Of broader application.
Here il man. legally elected to oflicc, who
quits it Of his own accord because his con
science tells him to go. The duties Of his
Office were no doubt easy and pleasant, and
the cmolumcnts considerable. He might
perhaps have stayed till his term was over ;
at all events till he was removed by i'm
parchment His friends could have made
out strong ease for him. They could have
manufactured public opinion in his
favor. BY procuring the services of
adroit and long winded lawyers 70
fight over every technical point, he
might have intrenched himself SO strongly
that it would bc difficult, if not impossible
20 DUST him. But nothing Of the kind was
attempted 10y the Mayor Of Drs Moncs
Having satisfied himself that he had no
moral right TO remain at the head Of the
affairs Of a prosperous city, he put his resig
nation in the hands Of one OF the Aldermen
and stepped down and out.

A queer ii not celebrated case has just
been put upon the army records On the 10Th
Of October last. Capt CAMPBELL. Of the Sixth
Cavalry, was arragned and tried before n gem
eral court martial on five charges and n large
number Of specifications. The part of the
charges and specifications on which he was
found guilty embraced misappropriatons of
public property at Fort Lyon, Colorado. and
Camps Apache and Verde, Arizona, extending
over the years 1875. 1876. and 1877.
For example We find that on Sept. 30 1875,
Capt. CAMPBELL, according To the finding Of the
court, did appropriate and unlawfully apply TO
his own use one forage cap, value S0.7G: less
than month later four pairs drawers value
f2.Gi three weeks after, a great coat and i've
pairs gloves; next, one pair trousers and four
more pairs OF drawers 80 on with ponchos.
sorgeants stripes. stable frocks, blankets. and
brass screwed boots.
Presently, we find Capt. CAMPBELL guilty. ae-
cording to the court, of having msappropriated
to his own use and benefit $27.s2. which he had
received from Lieutenant in payment for
company clothing, belonging to the United
States. Next. he Is found guilty OF knowingly
making a false report Of company clothing on
hand, in that one old pattern blouse, nine
campaign hints, seventeen pairs drawers
&c., were not on hand. HIS reported, but had

ton between gold and silver. THE general adop-
ton Of the double standard, with the proper
ton Of fifteen and half (silvcr) to one goldl,"
