VIGOROUSLY, large majority of the Green
back votes were cast by Democrats Bat
If half of them had been cast by Republicans,
beside all the increase of the Prohibtory vote,
it would appear that the Republicans still have
only 10 call ont their full vote to succeed.
Moreover, Democratic calculations are based

The Republican party of Massachusetts, having
achieved an existence OF a quarter of century,
dating from the Worcester Convention Of the 10th
of July. 1851, proposes to celebrate the anniyer-
sary. An address giving the history of tho anti
slavery opinion of the State, which would be
mainly that of the Nation, ought TO form feature
of the occasional exercises and Charles Francis
Adams would have been the man TO prepare
and deliver it. Now he will hardly be
invited to do so, and would hardly accept
the invitation Of it were proffered. Next to him,
Mr. Frank Bird would be fit orator but he too
such are the many chances and changes of politics
is also Ineligible Others who foremost in
the organization of the party dead but of the
living Mr.. julius Rockwell who was its first can
didate for Governor, aud who was badly beaten, is
as competent TO write its history as any
person living. No account of it will be suf-
fcient which does not do justice to its predeces-
sors, the Free SOIL and Liberty parties of which
it was the legitimate offspring. Nor should the
strong anti slavery sentiment which peryaded the
old Whig and Democratic parties of Massachusetts,
IN earlier days be forgotten. There were dubious
and even disreputabe coalitions in the State before
the Anti-Slavery men were strong enough 20 go
alone; temporary arrsn gements with the Democrats
aud Know-Nothings were set afoot; but for these
the Republ party proper is not responsible It's
history will DO valuable rs showing that great
party can be started and maintained by an appeal
to the popular conscience; for that was all which
the Republicans in tho beginning had TO rely upon
II may do no harm to remind those who now COM
pose it OF the remarkable historical fact.

II is much to be hoped that the growing
opportunity for securing an agreement of the
leading commercial nations on the use of
silver as a part of the currency of the world
shall not be lost through the Tnwise preten-
sions of our silver extremists 1t would not
be difficult to raise again such a clamor
as we had last year, and to lose
thereby our chance. Dir. Thurlow Weed,
from whom we print long and inter
esting letter this morning, has never been one
of the impracticablcs, although we have been
impelled to sharp dissent from some OF his
views. Mr.. Weed quotes this morning, with
much respect the views of Mr.. Williamson,
the great Liverpool grain merchant. He
Will be interested, therefore, in know
ing that Dir. Williamson, quite recently,
in conversation with the Editor of The TRIB-
UNE, expressed the opinion that nothing was
so injurious to the chance for silver remOne-
tization in Great Britain as the belief that the
silver party in the United States would force
free coinage; and that nothing would
80 belp silver in Great Britain as
a Temporary suspension of all silver coinage
in the United States. We print, also. let
ter from Mr. Williamson, this morning, which
is noticeable not only for its estimates OF
American opinion, but also for its positive
declaration for the old ratio between the two
metals. To make that ratio permanent, the
one thing essential is that the agreement TO it
among the great commercial nations should be
general. From this we hardly think that
Mr.. Williamson would dissent. From our
Doint of view, at any rate, nothing seems
clearer THAI that the nation which undertakes
to stand alone in overvaluing silver must
prepare to lose its gold, and take its place
fhenceforth with the silver nations of South
America and Asia. In union in this matter,
and in union only, is there strength.

Now let the small bosses and petty official
thieves have a care Governor Robinson has signed
the bill which permits twenty-five freeholders in
any town or incorporated village in this State, who
believe that their taxes not being honestly ex-
pended, to demand Of the Supreme Court Justice
for that district summary investigation into tho
financial affairs OF their local government. The JUS
tice has the power to appoint expert OF experts
to make the investigation. and can all the au-
shortly of his office to enforce his orders. One Of
the best features of the law is the way in which tho
cost OF these inquiries is to DO met. If the aecu-
sations are sustained the delinquent officials pay
the expenses, but If the freeholders have brought
charges which cannot be made good, then their
pockets must stand the consequences. This prso-
t,oally the law which has done such execution In
NewJersey during tho last year, and the people Of
this state owe its transfer TO our statute-book tn

We publish this morning the first of a series
of papers written by Mr. Oliver Johnson, their
subject being "The Fall of Slavery" They
will contain the "reminiscences Of one who
bore a conspicuous part in the agitation which
ended only with emancipation. 1t was hoped at
one time that Mr.. Garrison might be per-
suaded to undertake a somewhat elaborate his
tory of this great moral agitation; and after
him. no one can be better fitted for the work
than Mr. johnson. The recent death OF the
eminent leader of the original AbolitiOnistS
has revived the memory of their first strug-
giles and sufferings; and the narrative of Dir.
Johnson will show how little they were dis
mayed by persecution. and with what manly,
and it must be added womanly, persistence they
devoted themselves to the cause of humanity.
Nobody could be better informed than the
writer, and he may be trusted to tell the
whole truth, as it presents itself from his own
points of view. Current events have warned
us that the contest is not entirely completed,
and that work remains even for the present
generation. Even now a history Of the fall OF
slavery will be wholesome reading.

General Thomas Ewing declares elsewhere
that finance will be the principal issue of the
Ohio campaign. 1t is needless to add that
the finance will be of Nj. Ewing's kind, and
that the decent hard-mOney Democrat will
probably undergo the hardest strain his con-
science has ever known.

1t is quite appropriate that the Spofford in
vestigation should taper OFF with an lnefec-
tive specimen of the red-headed liar. None
of the Louisiana shades help Mr. Spof1ord's
cninnleXion much.

The report of the British Parliamentary
Committee that the electric light may be used
economically for public but not for domestic
purposes, is sufficiently favorable to encourage
further experiments with the view of adapt
ing it to general uses. The opinion OF this
committee will doubtless have great weight
since it is based on the evidence OF the first
scientists in England.

The President was certainly justified when
he rebuked Congress for introducing general
legislation into appropriation bills, and 1t IS
difficult to see why he would not be JUSTIFIED
in condemninS the passage OF appropriation
bills which are almost unintelligible, and can
only be amended by the exercise OF great
sagacity and after careful investigation.
This is what Congress has practically
just done in passing a Legislative Appro-
priation bill which is simply bnet
reGnactment of last years bill, with
a large number of explanatory clauses and
amendments added. The result is such jun
Die of provisions that Nj. Beck, who had
charge of the measure. admitted that it was
"hard to say what any one clause appro-
"priated;" and when Mr.. Blame tried to
amend the bill in a certain particular, no one
could discover where the amendment ought
to 90. Perhaps the country would prefer that
the Treasury should 90 to work, with pencil
and slate, rather than that there should be a
veto and still more OF Congress; but this
must nevertheless be considered to be loose
and dangerous method of legislation
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1879-06-14


The Washington dispatches leave no doubt
Of the Presidents purpose TO veto the Judicial
Appropriation bill. There seems to be as
little question, in the minds of persons very
well informed, that it Congress adjOurns
without passing proper Judicial bill, the
President will call another extra session at
once. 1t would be well for the members who
are already beginning to sizzle in the Wash
ipeton heat to reflect upon this, and to be
wise in time.
The appearance of the Coincide Franeaise in
London is the great dramatic sensation of the
year ia that capital-indeed, Of many years;
for as our London letter shows, the inSular
prejudice which some years ago condemned
this famous company. on former
visit, to play to half-empty bouses
has now given way to intense interest
and admiration on the part Of the British

public. Our correspondent finds so much to
say of this change in sentiment and OF the
extraordinary demand for the privilege OF
witnessing this series of representations, that
no space is left for an account OF the
actual reception of the players and their
playing. This will be had hereafter. Mean
while it is instructive to observe the increased
cathoicity of sentiment in England upon
dramatic questions denoted by this reception
of the great French company.
1t must be admitted that the prospect of
discovering the murderers of Mrs. Hull Is not
a bright one, at present. This is the fourth
day since the deed was committed, ana the
police are rs far as ever from obtaining any
clew to the guilty persons. 1t does not fol-
low, however, that the Hull murder Is
to pass into local history with other
crimes whose authors have never been
revealed. That prediction was freely made,
it must be remembered, of the Manhattan
Bank robbery, and yet when the public had
fairly forgotten that crime the police, who
had been working diligently but quietly for
months, suddenly emerged into the light OF
day with "a whole brood of burglars In their
grasp. 1t is to be hoped that the Mayor
will carry out his reported purpose OF
Offering a reward. This shocking crime
ought not TO 90 unpublished, for the sake or
general tranquility, and every proper means
should be used to stimulate exposure, ana
perhaps betrayal of the dreadful secret.
