The circumstances which gave rise

was then very much undecided as to

airy lst, was the day set by law for
resumption of specie payment though

done until Thursday. Even then the
reports state that no perceptible bust

says:

from quite a number of banks ana insIn-
ancc offices. Everybody spoke ofchvcIing

On the other hand the opponents OF
resumption, while expressing no desire
to see the measure hindered, assert
their belief that it cannot be MAN
tanned. Tho general desire so far
shown for the paper money at par in
dictates however that resumption will
be a grand success and thus matter
for national congratulation.

The intense cold of the week has
been accompanied by high winds. A

| honestly answer that q rule OF the oena'e'
adopted under o Democratic Administrations
and in force for twenty-five years, requires tne
consent of the Vice-President for all changes In
the subordinates of the Secretary and Sergeant
at-Arms that unless this be repealed there Will
be no patronage to distribute; and that to
repeal it at this time would be, for q party
making such loud professions concerning the
public service, simply suicidal. Then' too'
Senators are supposed to act with more
dignity and deliberation than Representatives !;
raised above the reach of the ordinary pas
sions of .partisanship, they are supposed 10
have more elevated and wider views, and 10
be able to decide questions OF policy Win
wiser and clearer judgment. And SO the mat
ter stands. These Democratic Senators are
in a position so far removed from the strain
of partisan motives as to be easily able to
resist any amount of urging to do an i'm
polite thing; they have the calamltous
experience of their party in the House for
warning, and, to crown all, the protec-
ton afforded by the Senate rule above cited.
To commit this folly they must not only dis
regard the warnings of the past, and so far
fo:ge their own dignity and duty as to yield
to the camOr of fOiiice-seekers, but they must ac-
tually break down the barrier which constitutes
their present security from laundering. And yet
with all these considerations operating to re-
strain them from the commission of such folly,
there is little doubt that the instinct of office
greed will overcome everything, and we shall
presently see in the Senate the scenes re-
peated which for the past two Congresses
have disgraced the House. The Democratic
party is so hungry and impatient that even its
Senators cannot feel that dozen or two petty
places are within possible reach without up
setting everything and hazarding future sue
cess in order to get at them.
We have shown how unwise it will be,sand
no reasoning and rejecting person will doubt
it; but the Democratic s, ,natOrs will never
theless take steps very early In the session to
rescind the obnoxious rule and get at the
Senate places. If they do not we shall begin
to think that some of them are growing wise.
New-York tribune., 1879-03-14
THE ROYAL WEDDiNG.


OF the love of all mankind for a royal lover
there can be no question. Even modest
wedding is the spring of endless talk and
wonder, countless good wishes and much
innocent gayety; but when the lovers
are the descendants of illustriOus ances-
tors for centuries back, when they bear
royal titles with royal ease, when their
union Joins great dynasties and spins thread
of svmpathy between natiOns--all the world
woud like to see that wedding! Such mar
riagc is that which was solemnized yesterday
before q brilliant company at Windsor, ana
some description of it will be eagerly read to-
day in almost every civilized country upon
the globe.
The union has not all the political signih-
cance which sometimes attaches to royal al
lianccs, though it adds another to the ties
which connect the courts Of England and Ger
many. Prince Arthur is the third son OF
Queen Victoria and the line of succession Is
already so far prolonged that there is scarcely
a possibility of his accession to the throne.
He must remain minor figure, but IN these
days Princes, like other people, can make repu-
tations for themselves, and no man can, be-
cause he is Prince, excuse himself from
being useful. The Duke of C0nnaught, as he
is now called, will shortly have an oppor-
tunity to prove his capacity as public man,
if the expectations of a considerable part OF
the English people are realized His appoint
ment as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
much discussed of late, is evidently re-
garded by English journals as by
no means improbable, and it need hardly
be suggested how much he would be
aided, in position where tact and discretion
would be peculiarly necessary, by an accom-
pished princess. Not much seems to be known
of the personal qualities of the noble lady who
yesterday became the Duchess of CoDnaugnt,
but the match is said to have the special ap-
proval of the Dukes eldest sister, the Crown
Princess of Prussia; and she is, by repute, not
only one of the best of women, but, like
her lamented sister, Alice, most excellent
politician. Prince Arthur is soldier, and
Princess Louisa is the daughter of so distin-
guished q commander as the " Red Prince
of the Franco German war; the sturdy old
Emperor Is her uncle. The union draws
closer together the two strong dynasties OF
Western Europe.
