THE ANDERSON TRIAL.
lie is Found Guilty and Recon-
mended to Mercy.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 7.---At 900
P. d. Judge Whitaker finished the read
ing Of his charge to the jury and they
retired. The court room was cleared,
and even the attorneys for the defense
had left, nobody expecting verdict
and almost everybody believing that
the result would be a mistrial. At
10:10P. NJ. a loud knock came from the
jury room, which was promptly an
swered by deputy sheriff, who went
at once to the jury room and returning
quickly, startled the Judge who with
some gentlemen and the reporters was
in his private office, with the news that
the jury had agreed upon p verdict.
The counsel were sent for, and Judge
Cullom of the defence having arrived,
the court was opened again at lO:4O,
and the jury was brought down and,
called. About forty persons were pres
ent. Judge Whitaker asked the fore
man the usual questions when the YER
dict was given to the clerk. General
Anderson was deathly pale, and sat
nervously twisting the head ofhis cane
between his fingers. Then the YER
dict was read as follows:
"NEw ORLEANS, February 8.
eve find Thomas G.. Anderson gull
ty, and recommend him to the mercy
of the Court.
[Signed "W. P. CONVERSE,
"Foreman Of the Jury"
The defence asked for the polling of
the jury and each juror, after his
name being called, was asked: as
this your verdict guilty and recon-
mendei to the mercy of the COURT"
They all answered in the affirmative.
The jury was then discharged and the
prisoner remanded to await the SEN
tence of the law. A few of Anderson's
friends at once surrounded him and
saw him off to jail.

Greenbaoks and Absolute Money.

The existing greenback, it may be
claimed, is worth as much as a National
Bank note of corresponding denomina-
ton, but it is to be answered that the
greenback, as it exists, does not pre-
tend to be "absolute money" 1t is a
promise of the United States to pay
money, and there is no sane financial
man who does not know that it is n
promise to pay coin, or something that
directly represents coin. A greenback
is good, and only good, because the
country accepts it as a pledge of gold
or silver. The precious metals have
been accepted, the world over, as the
basis of currency, and when men talk
about money they invariably talk about
that which has its basis in coined met
ais A paper dollar always represents
a gold or "a silver dollar. Throughout
the long period during which specie
payments have been suspended in the
United States, the value of bank-notes
and of greenbacks has been sustained
by the faith that ultimately-sooner or
later-every dollar would be redeemed
or redeemable in coin. There was
time when it took two dollars in paper
to buy one in gold, and the gap between
that period and this has gradually been
closed, as the certainty has increased
that the promise upon the face of the
paper dollar would be redeemed If
the greenback were to be changed to-
day, so that it would bear no such
pledge. it would become very cheap
money indeed. 1t would hardly be
worth the paper it is printed on.
There is no power on earth that can
legislate value into paper. If paper
does not represent value, it is good for
nothing, and no Government can make
it good for anything. The question of
cheap money, for the benefit of the Ia
borer, FOR instance, is "as broad as it
is long" If money is good for any
thing, it will have to be paid for in la
Dor. The markets of the world settle
the values of merchandise. We may
legislate that every bushel of wheat
shall be worth five dollars, but our
legislation will have not the slightest
effect upon the price. Wheat is wheat
the world over, and the price is regu-
lated by the great law of demand and
supply. Money is money the world
over, and money is gold and silver the
world over, and every article that a
man possesses and has for sale will be
regulated in its price by the relation
which it bears to some gold unit in the
markets of the world. Money cannot
be so made that man can get some
thing for nothing. 1t cannot be Sc
made that he can get it for less than
the market price in labor. The idea
that it can be so made is Il delusion and
snare of the devil, or demagogue,
who is his most obedient servant.-J.
g. Holland, Scribner for NOUember.

ing and translating these evidences of
Democratic rascality. - Troy Times.
Bay We do not wonder that the Trib-
u''e chuckles over the "yellers of
fraud" who do not appear to have heard
of its publication and translation of the
cipher kilograms. There is ground for
a suspicion that such papers only hate
fraud when their own party suffers by
it. EUery EUening does not fight fraud
from any such standpoint as this, and
hence it. does not shut its eyes to the
serious significance of the cipher tele-
grams now presented, with the inter-
probation of them, in the New York
Tribune. We have examined and tested
the key given by the paper as that dis
covered for it by experts engaged to
make out the meaning of these tele-
grams, and we are satisfied that, what
ever defense is to be made against the
apparently damning revelations of the
Tribune publications must rest in some-
thing better than an attack upon the
correctness of the translation. 1t fits
the kilograms too closely, and the tele-
grams Interpreted by it tally too per-
fectly with known events to permit any
doubt that the explanation of the cipher
is correct. Wilmington EUery EUening

Confession Of Virtuous Sam.

AFTER ten days of solemn meditation,
Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden rises and says:
" Not guilty" These two words ex-
column in length, comes to. 1t is not
denial of the genuineness of the ci-
pher dispatches, two or three hundred
in number, which has been, recently
stripped of their cabalistic garments.
1t is not denial of the accuracy of
their translation out of the original
cryptograms. 1t is not denial of any
thing contained in them. 1t is not an
allegation of any fact or circumstance
tending in the slightest degree to inn
peach or yitiate the evidence of those
dispatches. 1t is simply Mr.. Sam Til
den's denial of any personal knowledge
in the premises. 1t is personal plea
of not guilty, conjoined to a personal
protest of innocence and extraordinary
virtue. The words of the pleader are:
No offer TO give the certificates of any
Returning Board or State Canvassers
of any State to the Democratic electors
in consideration of promises of office or
money or property; no negotiation of
that nature in behalf of any member of
!
no attempt to influence the action of
any such member, or to influence the
action of any Elector of President and
Vice President by such motives. was
ever entertained, considered, or toler-
ated by me, or by anybody within my
influence, by my consent, or with my
knowledge or acquiescence. To these
words of denial there is added the as
sertion that ono such contemplated
| transaction could at any time have
come within the range of my power
without that power being instantly ex-
erted to crush it out" But this is only
a gratuitous assertion of what Mr.. Til
den would have done if a certain con-
tingency had arisen which he vows and
| declares did not arise. His denial that
the contingency arose releases every
body from any obligation To accept his
assertion of what he would have done
if it had arisen.
Mr.. Tilden's plea of not guilty is moi
rested on any allegation of fact, but
wholly on an assertion of ignorance OF
the facts shown. The genuineness Of
the cipher dispatches, the correctness
of their translation, and the verify o.
everything contained in them, al
these, so Tar as Mr.. Tilden's case goes
are admitted. They do not impUcatC
him because, at that time, he had M
personal knowledge of what was goins
on. His familiars, his closest persona
friends, his most trusted counselor
and confidants by whom he was con
tinually surrounded, and with whom
he was holding daily and hourly inter
] course, may have been engaged in ne
gotiating on his behalf a purchase o
Presidential votes, may have receives
and sent all these two or three hundre'

Something New in Labels.

An old newspaper man from Ohio
has started drug store in the city of
Detroit, and local paper commenting
on his innovations, remarks that he
will either be millionaire during the
next three years or "bust" in less than
six months. His store is very cheerful.
Skulls, crutches, forceps, chromos,
bones, false teeth, almanacs, parrots,
and sticks of liquorice are scattered
around in delightful profusion, and
there isn't drawer or bottle without
an original label. On one drawer he
has: "Glue-She sticks right by you,
no matter what the weather." On
another: "Copperas-eat slowly and
chew fine" On another: "Paris-green
Sure in its operation-lasting in its
effects" The label on one of the bot
ties reads: "Buy some of me and stop
that blamed cough" On another;
"Pm sal. petre-who are yOup On
another: "Prussic acid-Don't fool
around with a revolver" Hanging
against the wall is a beautiful sign,
which reads, If you don't want to ask
for a fine comb, point your finger al
metz At the back end of the store is a
still larger sign, and it bears the ten
der sentiment; "There is no flock with.
out its missing lamb. Sometimes you
find him in the bedstead. / keeI

the uprising in Bulgaria is, unquestionably,
to realize the idea of Bulgaria reaching the
Hgean Sea, in accordance with the treaty of
San Stefano. 1t therefore, has more than
local significance, and touches questions of
undoubtedly European character.
Minister Layard has received information
that Russian troops continue to arrive at
Adrianople.
The Porte has addressed circular to the
signatory powers IN regard to the rebellion
south Of the Balkans. The condition of the
Mussulmans in Bulgaria is described as irtol-
cradle, and the declaration is made that a
foreign power is cooperating with the Sav-
onic committees at Sofia and aiming at the
establishment of new independent State.
In another note addressed to Prince Labanoff,
Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, the
Porte charges Russia with cohnivance at tle
plans of the rebels and demands her aid n
suppressing the rebellion begun under tie
eyes of the Russian troops.

Two National Pictures.

In January, 1861, so low had the
credit of the Government fallen that the
Secretary of the Treasury suggested to
Congress, as financial resource, that
the several States be asked as security
for the repayment of any money the
Government might find it necessary to
borrow, to pledge the deposits received
by them from the Government under
the act for the distribution of the sur
plus revenues in 1886, the Secretary
believing that loan contracted on such
a basis of security, superadding to the
plighted faith of the United States that
of the individual States, could hardly
fail TO be acceptable to capitalists.
That unhappy epoch has happily
passed away; and not only has that
era of high rates of interest and of
ruinous discounts necessary in borrow
ing money to insure our very existence
as a nation become thing of the past,
but the same National Government
which was then about to borrow the
credit of the several States TO bolster
up her own failing credit has since paid
the war debts of those States and has
vastly reduced the debt of which those
smaller debts made no slight amount
of the sum total: has called in the loans
made at high rates of interest, has
practically resumed payments upon
specie basis. and finds it difficult to
furnish bonds at a ridiculously small
rate of interest TO supply her creditors,
who are pouring in their securities
bearing the higher rate for the purpose
of replacing them with the new lower
rate issue.
And yet, looking upon this picture
and on that, there are those who ques-
ton the policy of the Republican party,
which has produced these grand results,
and who would replace it at the helm
of State by Democratic rule, which in
augurated the system of borrowing
money at exorbitant rates of interest to
carry on the Government whose f.
nances it had debauched, whose credit
it had ruined, and whose fair and glow
ing future it seeks again to reduce to
the financial level of unhappy Turkey,
that byword among the nations, with
her irredeemable paper currency.
Verify, the times are out of joint, in
deed.-NetO Republic.
