The Chosen Vessel of Fosters

WASHINGTON, D. c., July S.-Secreta-
~ Sherman Is unfortunate in the news
paper organs he selects to attack Gen.
Ewiug's military record. In the last is
sue the newspaper caliedthe Washing
ton Sentinel devoted several columns 10
denunciation of Gen. Ewing's military
exploits in Missouri, and particularly of
his celebrated Order No. IL. The news
paper aforesaid has bat little influence
except among the German brewers OF the
country, whose editor Is employed here
by the Brewers Association to look after
their interests in any legislation affecting
them pending in Congress. As an or
gan of this reputable class the newspa-
per does good service; but when 1t seeks
to become political mouthpiece for
Secretary Sherman, the effect of what II
has to say ought to be more than neu-
tralized when it is known that its editor.
Louis Schade, was the volunteer counsel
who defended that demon OF the prison
pen, Capt. Wirz, whose inhuman treat
ment has been visited upon many of
Ohio's brave soldiers, who have not and
never will forget the horrors OF Ander-
sonville, which prison the monster Wirz
commanded. 1t ls degrading alike to
Republican and Democratic soldiers 10
have q gallant officer of the army de-
nounced by the person who sought to
stay the hand of justice in melting out
to Wirz that punishment which he SUBJ
sequently received on the gibbet. II
Charles Foster indorses this paper or It's
editor, he places himself in the attitude
of condemning the course OF the Gov.

A Rousing Canvass in Ohio.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Ex- Congress
man Southard of Ohio arrived here this
morning from GAINESVILLE. He says that
both political parties feel hopeful of sue
cess in the State in October. he thinks
that a full vote will be polled, as the peo-
Pile of the State are thoroughly aroused
in the belief that the impending campaign
is only the overture to securing the Pfesi-
dency for an Ohio man.
The Star of this afternoon prints the
following: "a gentleman who says he
knows what he is talking about to-day
told reporter that during Gen. Tom
Young's recent visit to ihis city he was
in cloee consultation with the President
and Secretary Sherman on the political
outlook in Ohio He said that the cam
paign just opened would be one Of the
most closely contested known in the his
tory of politics, and Mr.. Hayes assured
him that the Administration wonld rem
der the Republicans OF Ohio and all other
States holding elections this fall all the
aid in its power. Gen. Young is repor-
ted to have said that the process of clear
ing out Democratic off1ceholders will be-
gin at short date, and that such a
course is indorsed by every member of
the Republican Campaign Committee. "

The Glover Report.

Nevertheless, in the whole course OF
his checkered career, Mr.. Sh erman has
pever encountered a task so difficult as
now awaits him il be harbors the hope
of yindicating himself in the eyes Of
honest, intelligent men. Unfortunately
for his own ambition, he has not bulwark
of previous good character to fall back
upon, even for the purpose of requesting
a suspension of judgment. Wendell
Phillips seourged bim seme years ago as
the man who had entered Congress poor,
and left It a millionaire, and the epigram
has stuck Mr. Sherman did dnot emerge
with clean skirts from the charge hurled
at him some months ago of favoring
certain banks in New York. Whst de-

against the overwhelming evidences of

In all probability he viii throw himself
npon the rabid ''loyslty" of the Repub-
lican party, declaring that the accusa-
tions are oolored by Democratic malice,
and that they are intended to ruin the
party prospects as well as his personal
reputation. This plea may be swallowed
by fanatics, but 1t won'tcount for much
with sober, patriotic men of any party.
Moreove. public sentiment will compel
Congress to prosecute the investigation
further at the next session, and then Mr..
Sherman's last gun will be spiked.

Zulu and Briton.

The news which was telegraphed that
Cetywayo had sued for peace is contra
dicted by recent dispatch stating that
he has only asked for conference. We
are not far from the truth in saying that,
when this conference is held, it will have
the effect of once more dispelling the
notion that the plucky King of the Zulus
intends accepting the English proposals.
Not until the demands Of Lord Becons
fields ministry are essentially moderated
will Cetywayo and his followers be likely
to stop fighting in defense of their native
land. To suppose for moment that he
will consent to an unconditional submis-
sion, as demanded by the British authori-
ties, would be entirely preposter0us.
Why should hep Certainly as yet the
Zulus have not bad the worst of the
fighting. 1t is said that Cetywsyo and
his followers are overawed at the gil
gantic forces arrayed against them; but
these forces are scarcely able 10 move q
step forward, Itwas telegraphed sever
al weeks ago thst Immediately after gain
ing the battle of Isandula, and having,
as it were, the English-African posses
sion at his mercy, the Zulu King was 80
downcast that he had resolved upon sub
mitting to the English. Time has proved
the absurdity of these reports. No
doubt Cetywayo would be willing to ac-
cept moderate and reasonable terms OF
peace, but it is irrational to imagine that
just at the time when be knows that q
large number of English troops are down
with sickness, and of the general confu-
sion augmented by the death of the
French Prince, that the Zulu monarch
will either offer or accept terms involv-
ing unconditional surrender, which, in
all probability, will be followed by bis
own detbronement.

The Excitement Not Yet Over--Ob-
servations of Senator Lamar.
WASHINGTON, July 6 Senator Lamar
left Washington several days before the
end of the session to fill engagements in
Mississippi, and last night he returned
and will remain ten days or two weeks
He gives rather gloomy account of the
labor troubles in Mississippi. He found
the Kansas fever raging among the col
ored people to greater degree than he
had believed. Even those upon his own
place have touch of it, although the
relations between employer and employees
in this case have been exceptionally
good. He says all sorts Of wild stories
obtain credence among the blacks, the
main one being that the Government is
10 furnish them transportation to Kan
sas, a land of milk and honey. He re-
ports that recently white man passed
through his section carrying red flag,
and spreading the report that on GER
tain date free train would pass over
the road to carry oolored people to Kan
ses. Hundreds of negroes collected
along the road and are waiting for the
hee train, which, of course, will not
come, as the whole affair was cruel
hoax. The Senator thinks the exodus
is not over by any means, as The blacks
are excited BY stories of free traaspor-
tstion provided by the Government, and
free farms in Kansas, but that good
number who will come back and dispel
the rosy pictures of Kansas life.

Investigations.

New York has adopted the plan orig

checking corruption in local govern
ment This plan is to permit twenty
FIVE free holders in any township or in
corporated village in the State, who be-
leve that their taxes are not being hon
estly expended, to demand summary in
vestigation One of the beet features Of
the law is the way in which the cost OF
these inquiries is to be met. If the &C
cusations are sustained, the delinquent
officials pay the expenses, but il the free
holders have brought charges which
cannot be made good, then they must
pay the expense of the investigation.

The National Crime.

WASHINGTON, D C, July General
A. j. Warner, OF Ohio, has prepared an
elaborate table compiled from official
treasury statements. He shows that the
volume of currency in 1865, when the
volume was at the maximum, was 1888,
31S,6S5, with population of 25,OOO,-
900, or over $50 per capita. In 1873
the total volume was $3.50, ,062,36 with
q population OF 42,00o,000, or little
less than SIS per capita. In 1878 the
volume actually in circulation was S6SS-
597,275. with a population estimated at
100000, or S14 so per capits. In
1879, an actual circulation OF S6S9, ,424,-
|643. General Warner says: In addi-
ton to the above there was coin in the
Treasury April 80, 1879, according to
the Secretary's report to the Senate,
Sl3S, 100000 but plainly neither this
coin nor other currency which has been
purchased by the sale Of bonds and held
under the Resumption Act as a hoard,
or gathered in the Treasury as the re-
suit of an excess Of revenue over expen-
ditures, ought to be counted as part of
the circulation, for certainly it can have
no effect whatever upon prices. Taking
the present population of the United
States at $4,000 900 the above volume
{ (s6s9, ,424,643) gives Sl4 per capita
No account in the statement for either
of the above periods has been taken of
the gold and gold notes (now about 81
100000 of the latter in circulation on
the Pacific slope has been variously es-
timated from $15,000,00Q to 5,000,-
600; but whatever it may be, it has not
changed enough to change the compar-
ison of the different periods given. y
Accompanying these statements is a
compilation showing the circulation in
England, France and Germany. Eng
land in 1878 had an actual circulation Of
s9l7, ,445 900, with population Of 34,-
600, 900, giving nearly $27 per capita; !;
France had a population of 100000,
and ON actual circulation Of 81, ,642, ,000,-
600, or S44 per capita; Germany an act
ual circulation of SS60,662 900, with a
population of 43 100000, which gives
$23 per capita. General Warner says :
"While these differences in the money
volume Of different countries exist, it
nevertheless is strictly true that prices
depend on the relation OF the money
volume to commodities and transactions ;
and it is matter of the most vital i'm
portance to understand that the volume
of money in any country can never be
materially contracted without breaking
down prices, checking enterprise, sitting
production, and producing idleness, bank,
ruptcy, and the long train of miseries
that follow. There is no other cause Of
the present prolonged stagnation ol
trade and business in this country but
the reduction of the volume Of money
First the reduction Of the paper volume
then the reduction of metallic money
from gold and silver to gold alone.--
This change was nothing less than s
high crime against the whole people"

man to cross the interior of the cont

after measuring the great falls Living
