Buffers Greenback convention made a
characteristic bid for the soldier vote OF Mas
sachusetts at Its recent meeting Among It's
resolutions was one setting forth that the sol
diers ought to be paid the difference between
the value or greenbacks now and their value
ct the time they were paid out to the rank and
file during the war. Every veteran will now
be induced, or the effort will be made to
induce him, to believe that vote for Butler
is vote to put several several hundred dol
lars in his own pocket. It Is a shrewd cleo
pioneering dodge, and some gullible people
will probably be caught by it, The argu-
ment to be used before the people was made

capitalists had realized handsome profit on

A GRAND FINANCIAL SCHEME.

Henceforth let John Law and all great
financiers OF his day hide their diminished
heads. Their glorIes must pale before the
blaze OF the genius which devised the plan
yesterday presented to the Mayor and Coun-
Gil for the payment Of the city's debts. To
90 the enterprsing Scotchman justice the
main idea Of this plan originated with him.
II Is In the application and development Of
this main idea that the superior skill and
comprehensiveness of our financiers Is 80
conspicuously displayed
This idea, first propounded BY Law ii Hol-
land, the result Of years Of study of banking,
Is the transfer by the State and the cities of
all their resources and assets to a bank with
authority to issue paper money and discount
notes, ad HbHam. The stolld Dutch gave the
cold shoulder to Laws scheme. He carried
it to various German cities, which were rude
enough to expel him from their limits for
merely proposing such scheme.
At last he found his way to Paris, arriving
at very favorable time. when spirit OF
gambling and speculation were rife In that

The Jewish question In Roumania Is one or
Importance In more senses than one The
allied powers at the Berlin conference insist
ed upon the emancipation of the Jews in re-
turn for the Independence of the principality,
This Roumania agreed to at the time, but she
has since repudiated the agreement, and bro
poses In Its stead a scheme Of gradual eman-
cipation. The question affects more than the
Jews. 1t Is fight between the boyars, the
aristocratic land owners OF Roumania, and
the working and mechanic classes. The Jews
now have possession Of almost all the trades
of Bucharest. OF tailors there are $50 Jews
to T6 Roumanians; of thinkers, 100 Jews to 81
Roumanians, or, In all, 1881 Roumanians to
$3.50 Jewish mechanics. The latter constitute
the working classes Of Roumania. They per
form almost all its labor. The contest Is, In
reality, one between an effete nobility, over
head and ears Ia debt, and the real working
classes Of the country. II the Jews are en-
franchised they will be able to hold property
which they are forbidden at present-and as
soon as they can do this the Roumanian
mobiles know full well their power and lands
are gone 1t is not to be wondered at, there
Tore, that they make an earnest fight against
thls proposed emancipation Of the Jews.

The prospects for an early completion Of q
Southern Pacific Railroad are such that
the road may now be regarded as fact
It Is understood that Col. Thos. Scott, In his
recent trip to Europe, secured all the financial
aid desired and that the work will be pressed
onward to the Rio Grande with all expedition.
When Col Scott reaches that river he will
probably find the Huntington road coming
east from California there before him. The
interests are rival. but probably after meet
ing OF the two lines it will be found advisable
TO consolidate them. However that may be,
an all-rail connection with the Pacific coast
through Texas, New Mexico and Arizona will

A few days ago, Harry Palmer, of the
theatrical firm of Jarret & Palmer, of New
York, died in London. This man Palmer had
the very questionable honor of introducing
the e Black Crook the White Fawn," and
other vulgar and indecent plays, to the Ameri-
can public. They corrupted thousands of
minds, and he no doubt was the means, d.
rectly or indirectly, of running many young
people through the icentious performances
introduced by him. He made his thousands
by this MEANS aud his money gave him :" re-
spectablity in some quarters. His funeral
took place in New York one day last week, at
which the Episcopal burial service was read
and Rock of Ages and other hymns which
express deep religious feeling and trust, were
sung. This was gross parody on the mans
life. 1t is disgraceful that almost any man
who gathers money by bis sinful course, can
get buried with all the rites Of the church,
and have his character nicely whitewashed in
song and in sermon. But it might as we'll be
understood that such whitewasling does not
uubar the gates of heaven. A pure life here
after can hardly be attained by pandering to
impurity in this life. Let no man deceive him.

"BULLD0zING."

The word at the head Of this article is al
offence to the ears of Northern Democrats
They claim that the stories Of buldozing are
concoctions of Republicans for campaign pur-
poses and that the negroes political rights are
not intcrfercd with in the South But the
confessions of the New Orleans Times (good
Democratic authority that the cause of the
negro exodus is the bad treatment of the ne
gro as citizen aud freedman, somewhat stag
gers these defenders of the Southern system
Yelling 8. Eliza Pinkston =" won't answer AZ
against the assertions of the Times.
But curses come home to roost." They
have in Mississippi. Lately, an independent
candidate was announ ced against the regular
Democratic candidate for some Office in Yazoo
county. The Democracy, who, like their Lou
isiana brethren, were well practiced hands al
buldozing, Immediately warned F" this in
dependent candidate to withdraw or suffer
the consequences. The warned candidate, al
though possessing many friends of the high
est standing, was intimidated and withdrew.
Does any one after this wonder that the color
cd people dare not vote, when man of repu.
tation, with influential friends and not a Re-
publican, is compelled to surrender to the ty-
ranny of the Democracy of that county?
However, the Yicksburg Herald, sheet
possessing some Independence and decency,
took up the case of this white independent
and denounced the outrage. In late Issue
that paper says If the Democratic party
OF Mississippi attempts to carry bulldozing,
it will be crushed under the weight. The dan.
ger in this State does not come from tho ig-
norant negroes it comes from the Bourbons,
who seem determined to rush pell-mell to de-
struction, regardless of the efforts of the con-
servatve law abiding people"
To which the Phila. Record Democratic in
tendency says: +" THE value of the Heralds
plain language used. Heretofore the difficulty
in the South has been that rhetoric has taken
the place of common sense"
Truly so but the Record has all along told
It's readers that there was no bulldozng in
the South, and that the Republicans of the
South have not been intimidated, but ont-vo-
ted.
To show that the spirit of intimidation is
not local but general, we quote from the Her
aid again: There are already signs that
the Yazoo madness will spread to other coun-
ties If the issue is not met in the proper way
the Democratic party of Mississippi will sink

Possibly SMALLER Gas BILLs.--A propos-
al has been laid before the Trustees of the Gas
Works, Of Phia by a company to furnish gas
at so cents thousand cubic feet. The officers
of the new company say the gas to be furnish
cd will be of standard candle power and OF
uniform composition, consisting chiefly of n.y.
drogen and not carbonic oxide. 1t will be a
permanent gas and not a condensible vapor.
No deposits Of lampblack win be formed in
the mains or service pipes, and no tar in the
retorts or elsewhere. No offensive odor will
be emitted during the process of manufacture,
and no lime or other purifier will be required.
The process under which this can be accom-
plised is known as the 'Gill process" 1t Is
claimed that 900 cubic feet of gas can til us
be made with four gallons of naptha and twen-
ty-five pounds of coal, costing for these ma
terials nearly nineteen cents. The process lies
in the production of a nearly pure hydrogen
by the action of superheated steam on incan-
descent coal. The hydrogen is to be used in
a wide range Of metallurgical operations. By
the addition Of a small amount of carbon in
gas or vapor it is held that the cheapest aud
best Illuminating gas can be produced, and of
greater uniformity, brilliancy and heating
power than ordinary coal gas.

States to have forever put this matter at rest
Instead of doing this, however, they have de-
liberately taken up the war issues, which, on
ly a short time ago they asserted were dead,
and have put them in the front as representa-
tive principles. Mr.. Curtis points out that
the debate in Congress on the theory of State
sovereignty, the repeated attempts to repeal
National laws governing elections, and similar
questions brought forward by the party in
power, have in them all the elements of sec
tionalsm, and have had for their object the
firing of the Southern heart, and the CONSOLE
dation of opposition in the Southern States
against the North. He asserts that the only
check upon moro outspoken sectionalism
was the necessity Of moderation, in view of
the approaching election, but that the spirit
of the party, as exhibited by its driving
wheels.s Messrs Thurman, Beck, Blackburn
and Randall is such that it will cause patriot
ic Americans. in spite of their disgust with
individual Republicans, to dread a renewal of
