Mr.. SHERMAN is having talks with
the leading bankers about formulating
q plan for the resumption Of coin pay
menis. W. do not see the necessity OF
this great Government, backed as 1t is,
by inCalculAble resources, consulting
bankers about resumption. The only
thing, 10 our opinion, that the Secre'
lary lacks is q little nerve iu addition
10 bic ninety milliOns in gold. Gold
is less than one per cent. better than
greenbacks now, and II Mr.. Sherman
will try II be will find that the silver
bill, the coin be has, and The confidence
Of The people will bridge over this very
small difference. All be has to do is
10 announce that after certain date
all greenbacks presented will be paid
In coin, and that greenbacks will be re.
ceived for any debt due the Govern.
= ment. This will be equivalent 10
throwing the ninety millions in gold
on the market, and 1t Is such q big
pile the New York men will refuse to
try TO carry it, by keeping National
money at a discount. But TO make as
sursnce double sure, Congress should
make 1t compulsory on the Secretary
to reissue the greenbacks, and If by
any scheme more greenbacks should
be presented than there ls coin in the
Treasury compel him to redeem them
In bonds.
Since writing the above, the tele
graph reports that the Secretary Of tht
Treasury has completed negotiation
for placing S5O,0OOOOO of4]6 per cent
bonds, lor resumption purposes. TIL,
contract was made with the last Syndi
cate, and this body Of bankers will
make q great deal of money out of th
transaction which should have beer
saved to the Government and people.

Governor Hampton did at Newberry
on Tuesday LAST, and challenge the COM

What they are, you ell can see. Peace
reigns supreme; the laws are respected
aud enforced everywhere. There are no
disturbances and no scenes Of bl00dshed.
We are on the high road OF prosperity.
We have every hing In the future 10 en-
courage US; and all this has been accom-
pllshed-why! Because your representa-
tlVes, the Governor and the Legislature,
have atOOd squareIy and honestly on the
platform, and have fulfilled the pledges
made In the last campaign"
Aud when . man can make such 9
declaration truthfully II 10 good that he
should be answered as Wade Hampton
was at Helena, where q colored woman
strobe out of The crowd aud exclaimed {:
"You stay, Governor; we's had bet
ter time since you was made Governor
than we's had since the war;" The
sentiment IN which this virago gave

missioned 10 welcome the Governor or

terance In the rich bouquets of flowers

will win an easy victory, aud willing

The Eject OF 0oTtschakohPs Circular
Not Favorable to Peace.

LONDON, Ap;ll l0-The ultimate ef-
fec, Of Prince GortscbakoG's circular
is not re-assuring. 1t is pointed out
here that the Government cannot &C..
cept his invitation to formulate a coun.
ter proposal In consequence OF the view
that the question must be settled by
the Powers jointly. In Vienna, where
only telegraphic summary has been
received, the most serious deduction Is
that the hope heretofore held out from
ST. Petersburg OF o renewal of confer
enCe negotiations Is not confirmed by
Prince GortschakotI's circular, which
says no hing about accepting EDgland's
condition for going into a Congress.
WithOu. some such concession on the
part of Russia, no step can be taken
towards a peaceful settlement The
suddenness with which the circular
was telegraphed to London during the
debate on the address to the Queen, ex.
cites remark. A special edition of the
Times containing It was issued about
eight o'clock Tuesday night, and Sil
William Vernon Harc0urt, and Mr.
Leonard Henry Courtney, Liberals
distributed the papers in the House o
Commons. The inference is that thI
circular was specially framed with
view of influencing public opinion
here, and hurried into the hands of tht
members OF Parliament In the hope o
affecting the vote on the address.
