Miss Bothchild's Proposed Mar.
rfags--Jewish Convention 90
Recognize Our Saviour.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19th.-In rsla-
tlon to the marriage Of Miss Han
nah de Rothehild with the Earl of
Rosebsrry, the Jewish Times, of
this city, says: The subject of in
termarriages has always been q
sore one with the Jews, but We
think with little reason. The mar
riages of Jews with Christians are
extremely rare, and there Is not
much reason to fear their increase.
Judaism, which, as we believe, has
been preserved so long by the Will
of God, Is not likely to be impcr-
Tiled now by the marriage of a few
individuals with members of other
churches.
David Rosenberg, Of Columbus,
Ohio, has issued a call for a Ma
tional Convention of all Israelites
who are willing to accept Jesus
Christ as the promised Messiah OF
the world. He wants to unite the
converted Jews in America and aid
in restoring Palestine to the Jews.
The sun on decentralization.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19th.-The San,
which is pre-eminently the work
ingmen's paper here, calls atten-
ton to what is characterized as the
significant feature Of the silver
controversy, viz: that the party in
favor of the silver dollar coincid es
very nearly with the party which
opposes the resumption Of specie
payments. They clamor for the
coinage of silver, but large pro-
portion of them do not intend that
that metal shall be the currency
after it is coined. All they want
is to lower the standard according
to which paper money circulates
and thus still further depreoiate 1t.
Knowing that the effect of the first
greenback issue was to raise prices,
they are sure that further issue
would raise them again, and seeing
that the approach to specie pay
ment has been accompanied by a
fall in prices, they conclude that
the only way to arrest that fall Is
not to pay in specie. They have
neither eyes nor ears for any inter-
ests but those of the people who
have bought property with bor-
rowed money. The man who holds
land or merchandise which does
not belong to him is q suffering
angel; but the laborer, widows and
orphans who have lent him their
savings are entitled to no consider
alton whatever. The editor thinks
the silver bill will pass the
Senate, be vetoed and then
fail to receive the two thirds vote
necessary to make it law. If, how
ever, the result should be other.
wise, we may look to see Voorhee;
and his friends come to the from!
with their initiation schemes. The
question will then arise, whether
the silver bill shall be executed OF
shall be suffered to become dead
letter.
The Gazette, the Baltimore Dem
ocratic organ, designates the
Bland bill project as the real enc
my of the laboring men. 1t pro
poses to pay the ploughman and
mechanic ninety cents instead of q
dollar for labor. The currency Is
now within two cents of par. I
the schemes of the silver mer
were abandoned it would come n
once to par and resumption would
accomplish itself in three months
10 postpone resumption by inf1a
ton for the purpose of making
money cheap would be little shorl
of a downright swindle.
The President ana Chinese I'm
migration.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-There il
no authority for the published
statements that President Hayes is
opposed to legislative snactments
for the restriction of Chinese i'm.
migration and that he believes the
only proper way to prevent whole.
sale Mongolian immigration is by
means Of treaty. The President
fully recognizes the power Of Con.
gress to legislate on this subject.
In a conflict with the treaty
provision and in case Congress
manifests willingness to take the
short and certain road for the at
tainment of relief and protection,
the President is not at all inclined
to interpose any obstacle to the
exercise Of this power. He would,
nevertheless, for obvious reasons,
prefer that restrictive action should
be taken by the Chinese govern
ment, if possible, or that China
shonld formally acquiesce in such
action on our part. In accordance
with this view he is disposed to
think it would be wise and proper
to Immediately invite the attention
of the Chinese government to the
subject through diplomatic
channel, without thereby waving
the right to resort respectively to
other methods, if Congress consid-
erS III necessary OF ADVISABLE.

Ohio Approves the Bland BiiI.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 19th.-The SEN
ate has passed q resolution favor
ing the Bland bill without the
amendment restricting free coin
age, and censuring the President
and Secretary Sherman for their
financial views. The vote was
strictly partizan, the Democrats
voting aye.
