RESUMPTION.

Jie,cs of Ttro Prominent Bankers of Nesc
York--Onc stu Tails Tery OiIily, and
the other admits that the Banks IRE, in
Interest, the Enemies of the People.
New York Special to Chicago Tribune
prominent banker in Wall street, in con-
versatlon this morning, gave his views in re-
gard to the rumor that a movement was on foot
among the banks to hoard gold and thus hinder
resumption. The banker said he did not think
any such movement was in progress. The rise
in the gold premium was simply owing to a
stock gambling operation, intended to de-
press stocks. 1t would only take
small amount of money to lock up a million
of gold. If, by doing this, stocks could be de-
pressed about five points, a large profit would
accrue to brokers. The action of the clearing
house, the banker thought, would soon be re-
versed. Many banks i'll the late meeting are
already regretting their course. The Clearing
House association has no ill-fee.ing toward the
people, and, if they found the best interests of
the country demanded it, they would reverse
their action. The banker thought resumption
any difficulty. Although, perhaps, detrimental
to himself personally, he free to admit that
resumption was best for the country. He had
heard, from what he thought a trust
worthy and official source that upon the reas-
sembling of Congress- bill would be intro
duced making ieSal-tenderS at once redeem
able in gold or silver. This, if passed, would
bring about resumption Immediately.
Another equally well-known fnancier thinks
the action OF the Clearing House association
more deliberate than many suppose. They
were nothing but a set of spectators having
in view only their own interests. They pre-
tended they want to sustain the government.
If this was their intention, they should have
acted in the opposite manner. They should
rather have turned cold shoulder upon
gold coin. The United States has de-
clared that the silver dollar of 1925
grains shall be the equal of the gold
dollar. If not yet. it would be the duty of
banks as true representatives of the people
and the trade of the country, to do all in their
power to make silver worth as much as the
gold dollar. By enhancing the premium on
gold the people are made to suffer, encourage
ment is given to sJock-gamb bling. and the re-
yival of business prosperity is seriously inter
ferred with. Instead of aiding the governm Mt,
the banks are weakening it. If they want to
be patriotic they will recede from their false
damaging position, and make clean breast of
| it by declaring themselves ready to assist the
government.

PATTERSON, OF
5se TnterricH Win the Senator Without q
Country or Constituency
Chicago Tribune


Chicago Tribune.
On the question of politics the Senator is, of
course, thoroughly at home. The starting
point Of all political principles Is 1.-THE man on
horseback" Grant is the coming man, ac-
cordlng to him, a he is confident that he will
be nominated by exclamation by the conven-
ton in 1850. Grant, be said was the only man
whom the Republican party could rely on, and
OF whom the Democrats. especially in the
South, were afraid. When questioned in re-
gard to Hayes Southern policy, the honorable
Senator warmed up to the subject. He said
that the President had lost South Carolina by
refusing to back Patterson and Chamberlain
in their struggle for the supremacy in that
State. Hampton, he confessed, was not bad
sort of q fellow" but he was surrounded by
very dangerous crowd of adherents. He claim
ed that il the negroes were permitted to vote,
and supported in the act by federal bayonets,
South Carolina would give Republican ma
iorily Of 10000. To Southern people, he said,
it appeared that the of troops in the dis
turbed districts there was just as legitimate
and justihable as their use in the Northern
States in 1877 for SURPRISING the July riots
In regard to the indictments now pending
against him for fraud, perjury, and other petty
crimes. he stated that they were merely par
tisan. and inspired by political malice at the
same time he has not felt at liberty to Ieturn
10 his nome tor nearly two years on account Of
these very indictments. The only issue in the
next Presidential campaign. the Senator thinks,
Will he the Southern question. The money
question will be dropped out of sight, in his
opinion, as by that time resumption will be
settled fact. Why" he said, the only cam
paign document in use in 1880 will be the
bloody shirt" The Senator is as is well known,
very warm against the President, and longs for
return to Grant. L have Travelled during the
summer from Washington to San Francisco"
he stated, and have to find single promi-
nent man who does not favor his nomination.
We have Solid South to face, and Gen. Grant
IS the only man who unite the North to
such degree az to secure the success of the
Republican party in 1850. Many of the Demo
Gratis will vote for him. and all of the Repuoli-
cans will do the same In regard to the re-
ports of outrages at the South, he said that the
half had not been told. Even the newspaper
correspondents were afraid to tell all they knew,
and yet enough was known, he thought, to
Justify immediate interference on the part of
the general government
The Senator is accompanied by his wife and
daughter, and will remain in the city until to-
morrow morning, when he leaves for Washing
ton.

Iss. Paul correspondence of Chicago Tri5,

ISt. Paul correspondence of Chicago Tribune.
1t is related that when the Eastern dele
gates were riding home last summer from
the second district Democratic convention
which nominated Henry Poehier for Con-
gress, some of them who had desired to have
1gnatiu Donnelly nominated were loud in
threats to bring out DonnelIy as the national
candidate. This alarmed the others. They
had planned the 'stiil-hunt'' campaign. in
which they have been successful, and still
hunt was impossible with the noisy Donnelly
in the field. Besides, their candidate needed
the 1000 Granger and soft-money votes which
Donnelly could carry off. The next morning
there appeared in the Democratic organ, the
GLOBE, of this city, a paragraph proposing
Donnelly for the Democratic nomination in
this (the Third) district. The bait was
greedily swallowed. Donneily was willing,
and his Second district friends were satisfied
The German Democrats of St. Paul united
with the soft-money Democrats to give Don
nelly the nomination in this district, and we
had ali the noise and CHATTER there was in the
campaign in this State, while Poehler and
his friends in the Second district were q1ietly
enlisting the Greenbackers and privately in
viting every Democratic voter to come out
election day and see man.

Yuma and the SMALLPOX.

A gentleman who has just re-
turned from Yuma gave us Gu
rious account of the insouciance of
the inhabitants of that burg with
regard to the spread of the small
pox, disease which has been prev.
alent there for some months. He
fist happened upon an old &C
quaintance, who had been residing
on the Colorado for some time.
After cordial shake of the hand,
the AngelefIo asked after his
friends health. He was pretty
well but his family was sick.
" What's the matter?' said our
townsman. ooh, they have the
smallpox" was the reply. Horri-
fed Angelef1o, "And I suppose you
have just come from Them" The
soft impeachment was admitted,
and our townsman removed him.
self from the scene of the conta-
gion, and from further converse
with his old-time friend, with an
expedition which spoke of deoi-
dedly diminished cordiality.
AS the result of his observations,
he would judge that they seem to
think as little of smallpox out in
Yuma as they do of chicken-pox
elsewhere. Sanitary regulations
were adopted by the authorities,
but no attention seems to be paid
to them. Patients just out of bed,
with the smallpox scabs still stick
ing OH them, would enter the
stores, and other public places, quite
in matter of course manner.
The fact is that the disease in
Yuma is Of an excessively mild de-
scriptiou. Hence the comparative
indifference which exists as to its
spread. The arrangements for pre-
venting its reaching Los Angeles
and other points are fortunately
far better than for restricting its
spread in Yuma itself.

Three Necessities.

EDITOR HERALD: There are
three necessities which our city
must supply before it can claim to
be what it ought to be; these are
good side walks, theatre and a
Court House. The first named are
gradually being supplied. The Sec
ond depends upon the enterprise
and public spirit of our citizens, and
should be provided without delay.
In this day and stage Of civiliza-
ton, u city without a theatre, or a
we'll appointed building for public
amusements, is justly classed
among back-woods settlements, is
stunned by travellers, and gains a
reputation as "one-horsen town,
void Of enterprise, and lacking the
commonest modern advantages.
The last named, O new County
Court House, we must have, no
matter what else we try to get
along without. For this we must
look to our Supervisors and law
makers. AS one of your contem-
poraries observes, the present affair
used as q Court House, wouldn't
pass muster as a stable in some
places; and to think OF putting up
with it much longer, is out of the
question. In appearance, it is a
blot upon the town, and in incon-
venience, want of room, unsafeness
as a depository of public records,
and total unfltness for the pur-
poses for which it is used, it chal.
lenges comparison with anything
In the shape Of County Court
House in the United States. We
must have q new Court House.

The Fire Near Riverside.

We take the following addition
al particulars of the burning of Mr..
Walters's house, near Riverside,
San Bernardino county, from the
Express of yesterday:
A gentleman living near the
scene of the late disastrous fire be-
low Riverside, gave us, this. morn
ing, some additional particulars of
the sad affair. The stricken family
consisted of Mr.. d. Walters and
wife, with boy nine years old,
and their daughter, Mrs. Van Pat
ten, who, with her husband and
infant, lived in the same premises.
The men were both away from
home when the fire occurred. The
baby was saved by being thrown
into a trough of water near the
house, and the others extinguished
the flames in their clothing by pre-
cipitating themselves into pond
of water near at hand. The two
women and the infant, although
their clothes were almost burned
off and they received severe inju-
ries, are recovering. The boy died
the day after the dreadful occur
renee. He was so badly burned
that the muscles Of his arms and
legs contracted, drawing his hands
and feet out of shape; on many
parts CT his body the flesh was
ready to part from the bones at the
least touch. The family We're
taken i'll and cared for by u SYM
pathetic neighbor, and subscrip-
ton WAS taken up among others,
which resulted in the collection of a
considerable purse, and some cloth
ing and bedding for their use. Our
informant was Mr.. ]. Richardson,
Jr., who, himself, was one of the
most active movers In behalf of
the sadie afflicted people.
