baltimore Gazette, Anti Silver.
Washington, January 15.-The
financial speech of Senator Voor-
bees to day was so much of an
event that scarcely any thing else
has been talked of. His reputation
as al orator had attracted an i'm
mense crowd to the galleries. The
floors was well filed with distin
guished visitors, and as the speech
progressed members came over in
fiocks from the House side, leaving
Mr.. Price, OF Iowa, who was also
discussing the silver bill, with scarce
~ a cOrporaIs guard of listeners.
Mr.. VOORHEES, held the audience in
close attention for two hours and a
quarter, during which time he was
frequently interrupted with applause
from the floor and galleries. Sena
tors OF all shades of opinion gave
Mr. Voorhees, respectful attention
as he was known to have devoted
much time to the subject, and was
regarded the ablest exponent of
Western views in the Senate. While
AAS was OAbLCA
and scathing, his manner was always
dignifed, and this APPEARED to dis
appoint some who had looked for
something on the "hurrah'' order of
stump oratory. He read from man
uscript carefully prepared, and new
er deyiated from it into side issues.
Senator Matthews called it a sledge-
hammer effort that would reverbe
rate through the country. Senator
ConkliDg at first made q show of in
difference by letter-writting, but
very soon surrendered, and, wheel
ing his chair around. became first
class listener to the close. In com
menting afterward on the speech it
was generally agreed among critical
hearers that Mr.. Voorhees, had made
a very powerful presentation of the
silver case. 1t was remarked how
he had adroitly quoted the late Sen
ator Morton and the present Secre
tary of the Treasury to sustain his
charge that the original intent was
to make the bonds payable in either
gold or silver, and that any new
proposition was repudiating the con
tract made at the time with the Amer
il an public.

There is a suggestive coincidence
in the return of Stanley to Europe.
after his successful march across
the African continent, and the pur-
chase Of a steam yacht specially
adapted TO arctic voyaging by Mr..
Bennett who first sent Stanley to
search for Livingstone, and has
since enabled him to continue to a
good ending the task of exploring
the mysteries OF Central Africa. IL
is warrantable inference from the
purchase of the arctic steamer, that
Stanley viii be next employed IN 4
voyage to the pole. The English
captain who returnd some timea go
from a two years voyage in the
arctic seas, declared that to reach
the pole is an impossibility. II
Bennett and Stanley make the at
tempt, it will probably appear that
the Englishman did not know what
he was talking BaAAEF.

SCHEDULE.

The efforts of certain men in high
places in the Church to disproye
the existence OF a hell is working
ineaiculable mischief These men
whose profession is to save souls
are damning thousands by their
poisonous teachings. Men are al
ready too apt to grasp any idea
that saves them from eternal pun
ishment, and two-thirds of the inf
deity of the world is directly trace
able to the wish that such a doc
trine may be true. We are prone
10 sin and love it, and when We
commit il, conscience tells US of il
and we commence seeking palia-
tions, and from wishing that sin is
not punishable we gradually come
to thinking so, then preach it and
learn others to follow US. Take
away the lear of hell and men will
rush into all manner of crime, hop
ing to escape earthly law and be-
lieving that there is no punishment
hereafter. These preachers are
making infdels. Even men who
knoD there is God and a hell feel
themselves taken with the theory
and almost wishing it were true,
and many are the weak Christians
who will yield to the opinions OF
these eminent expounders and grad
Hally sink into dIsbelief-and in
the end, teachers, followers, all, will
sink into an endless hell, that Is as
real as it is repugnant, consuming
yet never destroying, insuferable
yet TO be suffered, place of incon-
ceivable anguish. Whether it is a
material place or a real fire, does
not matter. The punishment is as
severe, and unless the Bible is false
and God is myth, hell does exist.
Even if it does not, the idea that it
does exist is a restraint upon mans
passions, and there can be no good
resulting from this agitation, while
II it does exist, these teachings are
damning the men who propagate
them and danning the men who i'm
bibe them-ruinous to society, re-
ligion, law, order, morals, every
thing good in man. THERE IS a

Meeting of Our Bondholders.

A Meeting OF gentlemen represen-
ting about $40, 900, 600 of Tennessee
bonds was held in New York
Wednesday, at which the PROPOSE
ton was discussed, whether the
Legislature of Tennessee having de
clined to fund the debt at sixty cents
on the dollar, the bondholders had
not better demand the full face OF
the bonds. No conclusion was
reached on this subject, but the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed by
the meeting:
Resolved, That efforts made by
any persons who purported to repre-
sent the bondholders of Tennessee
were entirely unauthorized, and that
the declaration alleged to have been
made at Nashville that settlement
could be effected with the bondhold
ers upon a lower basis than that
proposed by the Committee of Ar
biters, Of which Mr.. George Coe is
Chairman, has no foundation in fact
so far as it relates to the great body
of bondholders.
Resolved, That while we deplore
the attitude assumed by the Legis-
lature while assembled at Nashville,
in December, toward the bondhold-
ers, we believe that it resulted from
the influence and unwarrantable in
reference of other parties than real
bondhOlders or their representa-
tives.
Resolved, That we have an abid-
ing belief that the people of the great
State of Tennessee will not, by the
rejection of honest claims which
they are abundantly able to pay.
suffer a stigma long to rest upon
them, the effect Of which will be to
paralyze the prosperity of the State,
subvert its best interests and engen
der that decentralization which must
ultimately result in losses to it's citi
zens even far greater than TO its
creditors.
Resolved, That the people OF
Tennessee be urged to adopt such
Legislation as will uphold the honor
Of the State. and evince proper re
gard for the high integrity which
has hitherto characterized her cit
liens"

In our issue Of the 10th we re-
published from a Shelbyville paper
an article on"Credit," and gave cred
it TO the Gazette. 1t seems that we
made q mistake. The Commercial
should have had the credit. Now
this was a grievous mistake on our
part, for the Gazette is a rival OF
the Commercial, and when 'uncle
Bob" saw his little nephew rival
getting credit for his thunder, it
acted like the sight of water does
upon dog with hydrophobia, and
in fit of madness he penned the
following:
The article at the top of the col
umn on the second page of the PU-
LAsKI CITIZEN of last week is for
gerry. That paUer never uttered
anything of the kind. We are re
sponsible for every word in it, be it
meritorious or otherwise, and don't
like to see our articles sailing under
false colors.
Perhaps uncle Bob does not mean
TO charge US with forgery, and
maybe be does not know that his
language is subject to such con
struction, but if he will ask his dew
il he will find it so. Now we ask
him to make the proper correction,
and not leave his readers to believe
that we would be guilty of as small
a thing as stealing from his paper.

Senator Chafiee, of Colorado, not

bill, says now: II am OF the Opin-
ION that the people Of the country
demand the reconciliation of silver.
and shall vote to restore the silver
dollar to just what it was before the
decentralization act of 1873 was
passed. There is no reason for the
tremendous hue and cry over the
RECOMMENDATION of silver l am op
posed to paying either the interest
or principal of the public debt in
silver, or of any legislation which
would tend to impair the public
credit. We can not coin enough
silver with our present mint capac-
ity in four years to pay one years
interests on the public debt. By
remonetizing silver and putting say
$5O,OOO,O0O or 500 100000 in cir
culation, think no harm would be
