< with long continued victory,

Where the list of delegates to the
greenback convention was made up 10 this
city by the paid agents of the republican
party; and when these selected delegate
met and nominated Mr.. Wilson Of Rural,
who never was anything but a republican;
and when they attempted TO solicit demo-
cratic votes because Mr.. Wilson's father at
one time in his life was democrat, they
the managers of the machine-made a
mistake. Had the greenbackers (the
leaders, been actuated by desire to beat
the republican ring candidates instead OF
helping them. as they are doubtless paid
to do, they would have induced one of sew
eral good men, whom we can all name, on
whom the opposition to the republican
party could have united, to come out indie
dent. Not so. however, they were paid to
help the republican candidates The mis-
take they have made is in nominating two
republicans. What the democrats should
now do is to nominate someone on whom
all the opposition to the republican party
can unite. Such a man can be elected.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-ln the Supreme
Court to-day the following case was disposed
of: Jennison. executor, plaintiff in error,

of California. The question presented by
this case is whether the 9th section of the

water rights, the right of way for bitches to
be used for mining purposes over the public
lands of the United States occupied at the
time by another, with no other title than that

WASHINGTON, April 26.--The National
Republican of to-day seriously proposes as q
solution for the Chinese problem, that the
citizens of the Southern States who regard
their rights and freedom as something worth
contending for, should migrate to the Pacific
and take the places now filled with Chinese,
whose services it thinks will shortly be in
demand by the Southern States if the present
negro exodus continues. The Chinaman, it
argues, will become popular at the South, for
the reason that he loves to labor and will
work cheaply, but has no taste for politics.
1t thinks several millions of them would be
rare acquisition to the population of the
Southern States. 1t continues: ''Then the
whites could have it all their own way SO long
as they did not interfere with John China
mans pig-tail."

Treasury Circular.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The Treasury
Department is advised that the instructions in
the circular of April 18. reserving refunding
certificates for sale in sums not to exceed
800 are being evaded for speculative pur-
poses, and announces that where such eva
sion is manifest, or where any one person
claims more than 500 either for himself or
others, the certificates will be refused and the
authority of any designated depository who
fails to enforce the regulations will be with
drawn, and commissions will not be allowed
on sales made by him. Owing to the great
pressure upon the department in the issue of
four per cent. bonds already subscribed for
and the redemption Of the called $50 and
10-40 bonds, the converson of refunding GER
tificates into bonds will necessarily be post
poned until on or after July 1st.

Suicide OF the Assistant Treasurer of San
Franci>cO.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 28.-W. F. Cassidy,
first assistant city treasurer, committed sui
eide this afternoon by shooting himself
through the head. He left note addressed
to the Coroner stating that he had been led
into stock speculation by Alex. Austin, late
city tax collector, who also committed suicide
and was defaulter to large amount; that
he had lost $685. 900 in speculations and had
used $50, 900 of the citys money to cover the
margins, and being unable to make it good
he saw no resort but to follow Austin's ex-
ample; that he had always borne good
name and could not bear the disgrace of pub
lie exposure and prosecution. Experts have
been recently examining the city Treasurer's
accounts, but have not yet reported. The
deceased was native of Germany, aged 80
wears.

tances, these leading to further apprehensions
on the most frivolous grounds. Eighty three
furnished lodging keepers are in prison for
not reporting within "a hours the latest az
rivals. Jakovleff, government official, liv
ing in winter at the palace, and his son, an
officer in the guards, are among the persons
in custody. Baron Bristrom. deputy COM
mandant of the St. Petersburg garrison, and
General Gldenstaub. commandant of the
Moscow garrison, have been superseded for
of things. There are few pedestrians or car
riages in the streets, but an endless line of
porters are seated on stools at every door with
stout sticks. Covered prison vans frequently
pass, with a police officer mounted beside
the driver, and General Gourko drives around
in an open drosky, escorted by Cossacks,
cracking their whips. The inhabitants are
not accomplces OF the Nibi!ists, but apathetc

The New Coinage Rtll

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The House Com.
mittee on Coinage, Weights and Measures
held four hours session today on the bill
recently introduced in the House by Warner.
of Ohio, amendatory of the revised statutes
relating to coinage and the deposit of coin
and bullion in the treasury for certificates.
Warner was authorized to report the measure
to the house with favorable recommendation.
The salient points of the bill as it now stands
are as follows 1t repeals so much of the
revised statutes which made the gold dollar
the unit of value, and re-establishes the BIZ
metallic or double standard of gold and silver,
making the standard weight rs $40 grains of
gold the gold standard of value, and 4124
grains of silver the silver standard of value
1t authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to
receive deposits of gold or silver coin and
gold or silver bullion at the treasury or at
any assay Office of the United States, in sums
of not less $40, and to issue certificates there
for in denominations of not less than IS
each, the same to correspond with the denom-
nations of United States notes, and the certi-
6cates representing coin in the treasury used
in payment of interest of the pubic debt 1t
also permits the owner of silver bullion to
deposit the same at any United States mint to
be formed into bar or coined into the stand
ard silver dollar of 412t grains troy for his
benefit, and provides that no deposit of silver
for other coinage shall be received. 1t makes
trade dollars exchangeable for the legal
standard dollar when presented at any United
States assay Office in sums of not less than
$780, The last section of the bill requests the
President to invite an international conven-
ton for the purpose of fixing the relative
value between gold and silver.

Reasons Of the President's Veto.

Reasons OIL the tfcSIOeDt'S VctO.
NEW YORK, April 29.-The Tribune's cor
,espondent at Washington telegraphs the
.ubstance of the message of the President
yetoipg the Army bill. The President takes
the ground that the political legislation in the
bill is entirely uncalled for. He also holds
that no law can be enforced without friction,
and that it would be as we'll to repeal the
election law outright as to take away from
allowing the law itself to stand. The Presi-
dent objects strongly to the provision forbid
ding the civil authority to keep peace at the
pos. He also discusses the practice of at
,aching general legislation to appropriation
bills and condemns it strongly.
New YORK, April 29.-The Times says
the veto message will make about three-quar-
ters of column. The President is reported
to he indignant at the haste manifested, the
messenger having arrived at the White House
with the bill between and o'clock in the
evening, as though the President contem-
plated running away. In the message the
President takes the ground that the attempted
enactment of political amendment or rider
to the Army bill Is direct infringementupon
the prerogative of the Executive and an en-
croachment upon the rights clearly guaran-
teed in the national constitution. The mes
sage declares further, that the manner in
which this unconstitutional legislation is
sought to be enacted-in other words, its ad-
dtion to bill for the support of the govern
ment, is an unworthy and unfair effort to
coerce the action of the executive that such
coercion was never thought of during the
first forty, and in many respects the best,
years of our national existence, and that dur
ing the past sixty years, or since the form of
legislation described has been in vogue, the
best men of all parties and all political fac
tions have from time to time protested
against. For these reasons the message ap-
peals to Congress now at once and forever to
put an end to the vicious custom of tacking
irrevelant legislation to appropriation bills.
As further argument against the style OF
legislation described, the message draws at
tention to the fact that in twenty-five States
of the Union it is prohibited by constitu-
tional enactments of most direct and binding
character. The President does not object to
any law prohibiting troops at the polls, and
it is reported that if the word "civil' is
stricken out of the Objectionable bill he will
sign it,
