The Democratic Layout.


Washington, Nov. 22.-The southern
and western democrats who have ar.
rived here, generally favor the platform
for the democratic party for 1880,
having the following as its prominent
planks:
First, Retirement of national bank
notes and the substitution therefor Of
United States treasury notes.
Second, Full reconciliation and free
coinage Of silver dollars.
Third, The payment of bonds in
strict accordance with the letter of the
law under which they were authorized
to be issued. a- 81
1t is believed by soft and silver money
men that these propositions will secure
the united support of all who are op-
posed to the continued ascendancy of
the republican party. There is but one
sentiment among the few democrats
who have arrived here in reference to
the first on redeemable currency, and
that is one of unqualified opposition to
this feature in the platform Of the ma
tional party. Silver men assert that
they are for double standard, but il a
single standard is insisted upon, that
standard must be the silver dollar.
The opinion of silver men is that the
silver and United States treasury notes
will furnish better currency for the peo-
pie than gold, government paper and
bank notes.

Washington, Nov. Secretary
Sherman has caused to be prepared for
his Forthcoming report very full state
ment of the workings of the reciprocity
treaty with the Sandwich Islands.
When the treaty was discussed in exec
utive session he madea speech against
its ratification on the ground that we
cannot afford the loss to our revenues
which the proposed reciprocity would
cause. He now finds upon investiga-
ting the subject that he was right in
predicting that, in a pecuniary sense.
the United States would lose heavily by
the treaty. The Secretary has collected
all the details of our commerce with the
Sandwich Islands, and will present
them at length. In summing up he
finds for the first year of the treaty that
the duties remitted by the United States
are in round numbers Sl65, 900 greater
than the invoice price Of all free goods

sell wines, liquors and tobacco without
paying the special tax established by
the internal revenue laws, promising
that he would protect him. The COL
lector warned Seignuer three times that
he must comply with the law, but the
man, at the instigation of Buell., re-
fused. At length warrant was sworn
out against Seignuer and placed in the
hands of a deputy marshal. When the
deputy went to the post to make the
arrest he was ordered out by Buell.
Nevertheless the officer arrested Seign-
eur, and brought him over. The grand
jury found two indictments against
him. Subsequently the officer went to
the post again with the same prisoner
again in custody. Buell. put the dep

Indians, at the same time permitting

of the war department to their lawless
officer.

have the eighty millions of Russians

though England could soon vanquish
the half-equipped and worse drilled

that Anglo Russian complications will
arise before that end, which will require
all of England's energy nearer home.
