THE New York Herald few months
ago set all the little small-fry no-party
paper editors to yelping at Congress to
continue the demonetization of silver and
make gold the single standard of Value
Now the Herald turns complete sum
mersault in its opinions and applies the
term of s'fetichism to the single gold
standard idea. 1t says -" The discus
sions of the conference have gone very far
towards demolishing the fetichism, which
would make gold the only material of
money" 1t will be remembered by our
readers that the Gazette was one of the
very first journals that denounced the de-
monetization of silver and the retention of
the law that made gold the only standard.
We labored for many long months in fav-
or of the reconciliation of silver while
our members of Congress, misled by
these no-paty people, were either silent
on the subject or opposed to it and favor
able to single gold standard. The extern
sive vocabulary of vulgar epithets of the
gutter-scavengers of the Il. +. aud
Commercial and its ciigues and managers
and admirers was exhausted to find words
sufficiently denunciatory, vituperative and
detractive with which to assail the GA
ZETTE and its editor. And this was sole
ly because we would not be led, paid or
driven, to favor policy SO fraught with
mischief that the n. Y. Herald now
likens it to ''tetichism'-th heather idol
worship of the negroes. This is ter
rible blow at the single gold standard adj
vocates. And the honorable gentlemen
whom Il. T.. md Commercial called
:" fools and knaves," and the Senators
whom il termed conslmmate FOOLS"
will feel happy to find that the Herald
has had its eyes opened at last but as
for Crosdale, Bates, et a., the editors of
the +. +. and Com, of course they set
them down as asses that bray just as they
are bid and for what they are told.

A BILL has passed the House of Rep
resentatives which provides that any per-
son who may have claim of which the
Court of Claims has not now jurisdiction,
but which is founded on equity and
justice, and not barred by any statute of
limitation, may file his bill in a Court
of Claims, setting out the ground of
claims and relief desired. The Court,
after trying the case, shall report its find
ing to Congress, which body shall not
consider or allow or authorize the pay
ment of any private claim not payable
under existing law until the same has
been heard and reported to Congress by
a Court of Claims. The bill also pro-
vides that all claims against the United
States provided for in this act not pros
ecuted within six years after its passage,
shall be barred by Limitation. 1t ia
that this bill, while it viii secure
a hearing for persons interested, viii stop
the Radical clamor about "rebel claims. !"
1t takes the subject out of politics.

The time for sending in bids for the loca-
ton of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College expires on Saturday next. Cities
and towns competing for the prize must
have sealed proposals, in the hands of the
Governor on or before the 22d inst, after
which time the Board of Trustees will meet
at Meridian, open bids, and proceed to ex-
anime the proposed sites tor the location of
the College.-Chickasaw Messenger.
By some means the impression went
abroad that the Governor, ex-oficio
President, had called a meeting of the
Board of Trustees to meet at Meridian on
the I'D to determine the location of
the College and transact other business
appertaining to the enterprise. No such
meeting has yet been called.

Ex-Goy. FENToN, of New York, Mr..
Grosbeck, of Ohio, and Gen. Walker of
Connecticut, were appointed by the Pres
ident Commissioners to the interna tional
monetary conference, which is called to
re-adjust the relative values of gold and
silver. The first and last named of these
commissioners are opposed to silver re-
monetization, and as they constitute .
majority, it is inferred that the President
prefers that the commissioners would rep
resent the sentiments of the bondholding
ring on that subject rather than the viii
of the people, which he tried in vain to
defeat in Vetoing the silver bill.

comes up to the full measure of an intellec-

1t was ri ghteous vote of the Senate
rejecting the appropriation of $4,000 to
compensate the visiting statesmen (viz:
Messrs. Harlan, McNeigh, Lawrence and
Brown who went to New Orleans to en-
gineer the Administration policy. All
that was necessary was the issuance of
an order removing the army, or forbid
ding it to interfere with the local affairs
of Louisiana. These men were commits
stoned to perform extra official partisan
service, and to build up a Hayes party
in Louisiana. The bill rendered by the
Treasury clerk detailed to wait on the
commission is marvel to the taxpayers.
A contemporary who has inspected it,
says that each of the patriots costs about
800 a day, and, including railroad fares
and il .identals, about 5000 day, and
that the whole cost of the Returning
Board rascalities having been charged to
the taxpayers. 1t was audacious for the
fraudulent Administration to add this
additional item to the long list of extor-
ton and plumber.

THE House Committee on Naval AT
fairs, before the adjournment of Con-
gress, submitted the following resolutions
for the adoption of that body:
ResolVed, That the acts and conduct OF
the late Secretary of the Navy, George NJ.
Robson; OF the late Chiefs of the Bureaus
of Steam Engineering, Construction and
Repair. and Provision and Clothing, in the
sale and disposition of public property, in
their method of contracts and In involving
the government in Indebtedness over and
beyond the appropriations made by Con
gresS for the support of the navy, deserve
and should receive he seyertst censure and
condemnation, and that in addition thereto
said parties, as well as all Others aiding and
abettihg therein, should be punished to the
extent of the law.
Resolved further, That it shall be the duty
of the Clerk of the House of Representatives
to deliver certified copies of the testimony
taken before the Committees on Naval AT
fairs and Naval Expenditures of the House
to the President OF the United States and the
Attorney General, with the recommends
tion that the parties shown by this testimony
to have violated the law, and especially in
regard TO the unlawful sale and disposition
of public property and money, may be tried
and punished as prescribed by law.
The Committee found that since the
close of the war four hundred millions of
dollars have been expended on account
of the naval service, and that many mil
lions of that sum have been diverted to
the private Golfers of Secretaries and their
co-partners in crime who have Haunted
their ill-gOtten gains defantly before the
public gaze.

Senator HEiII's ssInner History Of
aIAe Conspiracy.

We have published a curious bit of
what Hon. Ben Hill calls "the inner his
tory of the Presidential count" as related
by himself, on our first page. There has
been so much said and written of that
crooked transaction that the average
mind becomes bewildered in the endeav-
or to keep up with its numerous phases.
Senator Hill affir that it was not the
Wornlly Hotel conference between GER
tain Democrats and the Hayes managers
that secured the consummation of the cleo
toral conspiracy, but caucus of Demo
cratic members of the House who agreed
that the count to put in Hayes must go
whether he was elected or not, whether
the Electoral Commission law was car
ried out honestly or not-that did the
business. We do not know what took
place in the caucus aforesaid, but we do
know what is printed in the Congression
al Record, and it is that 116 Democrats
voted for the resolution of Mr. Knott, of
Kentucky, declaring that the House
would decline further action in the count
until the requirements Of the violated
law were complied with, and but thirty
eight Democrats (uniting with the whole

Congress as a power to prevent the~sA-
pansion and repel the encroachments OF the
army seems to be a failure. The military
influence which possesses Washington cap
lures Congress every year. and so lar as
the army is concerned. utilities the repre-
sentative principle in our form OF govern
ment. That military power Is composed
in part OF one general, nine brigadier- gener-
ais. seventeen colonies, eleven lieutenant
colonies, twenty-ei ght majors, twenty cap
tains. twenty three lieutenants, ten acting
assistant surgeons. Most of these officers
are married. With their wives and rela-
tives they constitute large portion of the
best society in the national capital. Against
its seductions aud entreaties the average
Congressman is utterly poWerless. lie
turns his back on his duty, surrenders his
reason, stultiiies him self by his votes, He
won't vote 10 cut down the pay of the army.
Indeed, to vote for the army i fashionable,
politically and socially. And, then, this
average Congressman may be hurt as a
politician, and damaged m ember OF So
ciety, by voting against the army, while he
may not be hurt among his constituents by
voting for it. SO he votes against the peo-
pie.
Taxpayers of the United States, you have
got to supplement this mans weaknesses.
You must emancipate him from the con-
trolling influence of Washington society.
You must surround this representative,
voting on military appropriation bills, with
the bracing atmosphere of his constituents.
Make him vote before he goes to Washing
ton. Pledge him before he leaves home.
Pledge him before you elect him. Pledge
him before you nominate him. Make the
reduction of the army to 10000 men a con
spicuous issue in your Congressional nom
nations and elections Beat the men who
won't take this pledge.
