Mondays Chicago Times tells an amusing
story of how young Silas NJ. Patterson, son of
Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, on re.
Communications of John Sherman j. X. Haw-
ley, Attorney General Devens, d. NJ. Key, &c,
came il a week ago over the keepers of Uncle
Sans scullery in Chicago, otherwise Known
as the government offices. The young man,
after making himself perfectly at home and
fourishing extensively around Potter Palmer's
tavern and the public offices in Chicago, pre-
tended to have been cleaned out at the races,
but Though having no money, he had lately re
turned from Brazil and had many thousand
dollars worth of very pure diamonds with
him, upon which he desired for few days to
obtain small loans. BY dint of infinite cheek
and perseverance he raised in the course of a
few days three or four thousand dollars on his
diamonds and then skipped. 1t turned out
that the diamonds, which are comparatively
worthless, were given him by an accomplish
named Knight, and that after disposng OF
them IN this way to the verdant office holders,
the two divided the spoils. Young Patterson,
who is described as q strabismIcal, red-topped
young gentleman, appears to be a true chip OF
the old block and, like his father, ekes out a
gay and festive living by cheek and cheat.

Canada is reveling in the excitements and
delights of a monster smashup that has fallen
upon the Consolidated Bank OF Canada at To
ronto. The capital stock was $l,00O00O and
the liabilities are $1,741 1884, Thousands who
had competency are made penniless by the
failure, and in proportion to wealth and popu-
lation the disaster is said to be as distressing
to Canada as the failure of the Glasgow Bank
was to Scotland.
LATER.-Yesterday' dispatches announce
another heavy bank failure in Canada This
time it is the Exchange Bank of Montreal.
The total liabilities of the bank arc said to be
about 5000, 900, which it is believed its assets
are abundantly able TO cover. The failure of
the above two banks, however, mas caused a
general panic throughout the dominion" and
general run on all the banks with other
smashups is now the exhlleratng prospect

American politics have never seen anything
more shameful than the energy and hardy as
surance with which John Sherman is pushing
his canvass for the presidency in 1880. Tha,
he dominates the whole administration al
Washington is shown by the plant subserv
iency of every department IN trucking to this
disreputable political game. OF course the
machinery mainly relied upon to propel the
Sherman movement is the appointing power,
and the is welded with comprehensive
unconscieusness never before equalled in our
history. The first assault Is made on the custom
houses, We have already mentioned how near.
ly all the white men have been removed from
the New Orleans custom house, to make room
for negroes, because in Louisiana the republi.
can machine" is in the hands OF the negroes,
and having no hope of getting the vote of that
state, all Sherman cares about is TO get the
delegates TO the republican national conven-
ton, whose appointment the negroes control.
Another notable case il the removal of the COL
lector and other customs officers IN New York
City, who we're friends Of Conkling, and giving
their plares to friends Of Sherman. But this
prescription is not limited 10 New Orleans or
New York, but extends to every custom house
IN the country, and TO all other offices, from
cabine; minister down to the smallest country

NOT ENOUGH GOLD.
contemporary

The great cry of the fiat money philosophers
has all along been that there is not enough
gold and silver in the world to keep the neces
sary amount of paper money to float the com
merce of the world on par with and converti
bic into specie. However that may be with
the rest of the world, it Is evident there can be
no difficulty on that score in the United States
Our National Treasury has found by the cru.
cal test of actual experience that $l3OOOO,OOO
of specie in the treasury has proved abundant
to float at least $1000O0,0O0 of paper money IN
this country at par, and the probability is that
half or even a quarter the amount held IN the
treasury would be sufficient Besides this, the
quantity Of the precious metals in this country
is lust now increasing at an enormous rate
official commercial statistics just issued at
Washington show that the total export of gold
and silver from this country over imports for
the last year was but $39lS,Sl1, while during
the same year our home product was $4,000.
|00O-showlng an increase of over SSl 100000
in single year. At the same time, the New
York Heraid money article says, the Wall
street dealers estimate that this country will
furnish at least j0pe cent of the grain rcquir-
ed for Europe this year, in payment for which
We will probably receive over 100000 600 in
gold At this rate of increase-$1Sl, 100000 a
year-wlth an accumulation during the pre-
vious two years of 5000 00O, 0OO-how long will
it he before the aggregate of gold, silver and
paper money in this country exceeds that pro-
portion of $32 per capita in France that we
have heard so much about?

There has yet been no denial of the charge
that the DIR. Luke p. Blackburn, just elected
governor of Kentucky by the Democrats, Is
the same DIR. Blackburn who attempted to in.
troduoe yellow fever small pox and other con
tagious fevers into the North, through the
means of infected clothing during the rebel
lion is one and the same person.
We meet this Item in about every republican
paper We open. We recollect, however, very
well that the charge referred to was so indig.
nantly reiuted by Mr.. Blackburn in congress
over a year ago that no stalwart black guard
about Washington ever afterwards cared to re-
peat il The whole story Of the infected cloth
ing was characterized as sheer fabrication,
but the DIR. Blackburn named in connection
with it was, if we recollect Alright, an entirely
different parsonage from the Kentucky con-
gressman-now governor.

A BAD RELAPSE.


Our esteemed cotemporary of the ottaw
! Repablicaa, by his last issue fills us with pro
found commlsseraton IN his behalfon accoun
of the evidences it presents OF violent relaps
of that distressing lingual iuX Of which, as w
had occasion 10 remark AT the time, he ha'
such a severe attack Il few weeks ago. In HI
pre,erna,ural tide of words he of course bIinks
smothers, or loses sight of all there is in con
trorersy between us The only points tn
FREE TRADER makes are, |, That the consti
tuition of the United States relegates TO TIN
states the exclusive power to prescribe th'
Qualifications OF voters at all elections of mem
beers of congress and presidential electors anC
1t says the "tmes, places and manner OF hold
ing electsons SHALL BE prescribed by the leg
| islatures Of the states" and that congress can
not interfere with such prescription except, II
the exgency OF the states neglectlng partially
or wholly to obey the constitutional bchcst Il
'alter" the state regulation or take the whole
business INTO its own hands and run the cleo
tions with It's own officers and machinery; and
| 3. That as the Davenport law does not profess
either to 'alter" any state regulation or attempt
to make any new regulation of its own, but does
profess and attempt to provide horde OF ma
tIona officers to execute and enforce state laws it
goes beyond the competency OF congress and
should therefore be repealed. These points
we submit, our esteemed cotcmporary, during
the whole discussion between us, has thus tal
persistently lodged, blinkCd or ignored
Instead of meeting these nts, he HOSTS his
gates and lets out flood Of words in reference
to an incidental statement of the FREE IRA
DER IN its objections to the Davenport law
that it virtually interterred with the exclusive
power Of the states to prescribe who shall be
voters, by authorizing its supervisors to over
see and revise the registration made by the
state officers, and thus virtually to prepare q
separate registration. THIS was VIGOROUSLY
done by Davenport in New York, who is prov.
ed to have boosted that he had prepared q
list of over three thousand registered voters
whom he prevented from voting. But, says
our esteemed cotemporary, these were traudu
ItIll NOltlS. cuppboc lilNN NpIN' L Nv ''"''
laws provided the way to challenge them when
they offered to vote, and If proved to be fraudu
lent, to arrest them Butunder the Davenport
law the marshals stood at the polls with the
Davenport list and when one of the men on ii
offered to vote he was arrested then and there
without the privilege which the state laws
gave him to have the question of his right tc
vote inquired into by the election officers in
stanter And the proof is that not only in
New York, but in St Louis, Philadelphia and
other cities thousands of voters of whose righ
to vote there was not the slightest question
were thus deprived of their votes And in al
his overwhelming wordy swash, this point is
also left wholly unanswered by our esteemed
contemporary.

THE INDIANS,

The latest reports from Gen Miles, who
with his little army OF SIX hundred is cncamp
ed near the British line in northern Montana
show that the artillery fire in his encounter
with the Sioux on the 18th ult sent them sour
rving back across the Canada border in the
widest panic The Sioux, several hundred III
number, and Sitting Bull himself is SAID tc
have been with them, had crossed the line into
Montana In pursuit of buffalo, and in thelrhasty
retreat left tons of meat to rot on the plains
Eight Indians had been killed in the enCOun
er. among whom was the chief Rain-ln-the
Face. Gen. Miles now telegraphs that Maj
Walsh, of the Canadian mounted police, re
ports to him that Sitting Bulls whole camp
of about 5000 people, comprising several hos
tile tribes, have moved to Swan lake, about sc
miles north of the line, where they intended tc
to remain. The Indians, it is added, had de
termined to make permanent settlement or
