The Chicago hog butchers, finding that
the packers we're giving employment to q
few non-union men, organized strike and
demanded that the rats - be turned out
The packers complied, but at the same time
turned the strikers out also. Pork packing,
as a consequence, has been entirely sus-
pended, and will not be resumed this season
unless the employers ore permitted to man
age their business in their own way. The
effect of the strike has been to throw eight
thousand men out Of employment in the
dead of winter, and to materially increase
the price of provisions. Strikes are truly of
great benefit to the working classes!

Himself Out Of Politics.

Ee-d0c. seymour Once More Declares
Himself Out Of Politics.
Syracuse Special to Chicago Times.
The correspondent of the Times paid
visit to ex Gov. Horatio Seymour, at his
home in Deerfeld, near Utica, and found the
veteran statesman in a laxative mood. At
ter brief informal conversation the repor-
ter propounded the Important and at present
absorbing query:
"You cannot but have noticed the growing
disposition of the Democracy in all sections
to make you the Presidential candidate in
1880. If it shonld be thought by the Ma
nomination would be necessary for the party
success would you accept the candidacy %
The governor was hardly prepared for the
question, but his answer was ready, and was
characteristic of this philosopher Statesman.
AS for myself, I do not think there is a
general disposition to nominate me, nor do
l think it would be wise to do 80, for many
'reasons. should not be a strong candi-
date, and what have said in regard to my
self IN answer to numerous invitations to
make addresses upon political or other sub
Jects, would of itself be good reason why 1
should not be elected, even if nominated.
While my name was spoken of, I did not
consider 1t anything more than ono of the
speculations of the day in time of political
uncertainty. In the face of what I have
said, it is absurd to suppose that I shall be
nominated. have no idea that I shall be
named by any convention for the Presiden-
cy, even if I sought the nomination. /
should be guilty of aself-complacency which
Ia !
ty were anxious to make mo a candidate
against my wishes. Even in that improb-
able event, should do my friends q very
great wrong if I should go upon ticket
with knowledge that was not the right
man to be placed in that position.''
AS he concluded the reporter inquired:
"What do you think the prospects are of
union of the various factions of the DEM
ocratic party in New York State?'
Gov. SeYmour-A union is so clearly de-
manded by the interest of all the members
of the party, that it is result no one can
question. just now both parties are disor-
gained. The whole history of the country
shows that the Democratic party has vitality
that no other organization possesses. This is
due to the fact that it has welI-settled prin-
ciples which are right. Other organizations
have grown ont of evils which are transitory,
and have sought to gain power by appeal
ing to the feelings which happen to be ex-
cited at the time -
Chow can the party be united?" asked the
reporter.
sit is not matter OF method said The
governor, 'but of disposition. If there is
an inclination to act the union can be effect
ed. No machinery is needed. All that is
necessary is for the factions te agree to
unite upon the principles of the party. This
must and will be done.''
"Wonld yon consent to act as arbiter to
unite the party?" the reporter inquired.
ttI probably shall not be called uton,'' re-
sponded Governor Seymour.

test,


Washington Special Cincinnati Enuuirerl
There is considerable gossip here yet concerning
the action of the Republican National Executiy,
committee in electing Don C;nneron as the chair
man. The drift Of sentiment continues to he un.
mlstakaby that he was the choice Of the Grant
men There are two very important facts however,
l. Cameron's election was the result of combina-
ton of the Grant and Sherman strength, Cameron
received twenty-five votes, and elected; but the
Democratic.
- 2: Averilswas Blaines candidate, to the extern.
that nearly all OF Blaine's friends voted for him
There were, however, three avowed Blaine men who
voted for Cameron. Of the nineteen votes Averir
received (and he did not himself cast Mtpnesota's
votes Of twelve States which give Republican major
tiles and are pronounced Republican States
Following out the significance of these facts, If
the Republican convention insists tina the delegates
from States which can not give Republican electors
shall take back seat In the convention then Baii
is ahead Of the field The friends OF Sherman here
nominee. His Ohio friends, particularly Colonel
Brown, of Toledo, says that the Ohio deleeation
VII stand solid for him through thick and thin.
Charles Grosvenor, who after the Maine campaign
had weak spot for Blaine, is now very prominent
in Sherman's interest. The trouble seems to be
that nobody outside of Ohio talks of Sherman His
strength is good deal like the Brstow strength in
1876-it is dfuasd, made up Of Struggling votes Ii
many of the States, and for which there no rally
Ing point For this reason, ether than making the
nght interesting, Sherman is good deal like small
boy attacking the tanks of great army with paper
wads. The sher uan mon say the Grant boom
know better and have no fear of auy candidate save
Grant.
Don Cameron, the new chairman, left here this
morning for New York. There is we'll grounded re-
port here that he has set the pins to the Re-
publican convention for the assembling of the
Pennsylvania delegates held in February take advan-
ta1e OF the existing Grant fever have the delegates
instructed to vote for Grant. This is the plan
adopted in 1876 when the delegation instructed
to vote for Hartranft, and through the means OF
which Blaine was defeated. Just now the Sherman
men are active in circulating the report that Grant
is to accept the canal presidency, and they may he
expected henceforward to keep circulating 1t with
vengeance.

Thinks the Small Notes Should Be Retir-

New YORK, Dec. 13.--To the Editor Of
the NeaD York Tribune: Herewith I hand
you copy of letter addressed by me, or
the 9Th inst, to prominent member OF
Congress. The subject to which I directed
his attention is an interesting and important
one, the consideration of which by Congress
ought not to be postponed. 5. g.: "
There is no merit in mere consistency, bui
it will be seen that stand where I stood
years ago, upon the subject of imitation, by
the following extract from my report az
Secretary of the Treasury in 1866:
"There being but one universally recog-
nized measure of value, and that being q
value in itself, costing what it represents lin
the labor required to obtain 1.-THE nation
which adopts, either from choice or temper
ary necessity, an inferior standard violates
the financial law of the world, and inevitably
suffers its violation. An irreedeemable and
consequently deprecated currency drives out
of circulation a currency superior to itself,
and if made by law a legal-tender, while its
real value is not thereby enhanced, it be-
comes false and denora!izidg standard, un-
der the influence of which prices ad.
vance in ratio disapportioned even
to its actual depreciation. Very different
from this is that gradual, healthy and gen
eral advance of prices which is the effect OF
an increase of the precious metals. The
coin obtained in the gold and silver districts
although it at first affects prices with such
misunderstanding the course of trade and
in obedience to its laws --soon finds it's way
to other. countries and becomes a part OF
the common stock of the nations, which, in
craeting in amount by the regular products
of the mines, and in activity by the growing
demands of commerce, advances the prices
of labor and commodities throughout the
commercial world. Thus the productions OF
the American, Australian and Russian mines
tend first to advance prices in their respect
i've localities, but the operation of trade soon
distributes their productions, and enterprise
everywhere feels and responds to the in
crease of the universal measure of value. All
this is healthfnl, because slow, permanent,
and universal. The coin obtained in any
country will be retained there no longer
than it's productions and sales keep the bal
ance of trade in it's favor. As
soon as it becomes cheaper (f this
word can be properly applied to the stand
ard of values) in the country in which it is
obtained than in other accessible countries,
--or rather when it will purchase more in
other countries than in that in which it is
obtained, or when it is required to pay bal
ances due to other countries, 1t flows to
them through law which is as certain as
gravitation. Hence. although the metals are
obtained in considerable quantities in but
few countries, they affect prices in all, etc.,
etc.
I thought this sound financial doctrine
thirteen years ago. I think 80 still. Re
spectfully, HUGH MoCu1LooH.

THE REPUBLICANS AND THE GREEN.
BACKS,

BACKS.
Some of the newspapers of the country
are trying to make it appear that the selec-
ton of the place for holding the Republican
national convention has an important bear
ing upon the choice of the candidate of that
party. We are unable to discover the pre-
else Significance Of the selection other than
that it is all indication that the preferences
of the West will be consulted in the pre-
misses. Nearly all of the Cincinnati papers
speak as if the choice of Chicago settled the
controversy IN favor of Grant, and that it
has finally and forever disposed of Mr.. Sher-
man. This we by no means regard as the
case, for at the West Blaine has quite as
many friends as Grant. and they will insist
upon being herd. The Grant boom had its
birth too soon, has expended its force. and
from this time forth is bound to diminish in
volume, while that of the other candidates
will steadily increase.
There is one significance in the selection
of Chicago that seems to have been lost
sight Of. Aside from the natural ADVANTAGES
Of location and availability which no donbt
influenced many of the members of the COM
mittee, there seems to have been desire to
remove the convention as far as possible
from the influence of Wall street. Had Sara
toga been chosen, the money kings of the
East would have beset the delegates on every
hand, and by means of persuasion and aron-
nents of various kinds endeavored to com
NIT the party to financial policy in harmo-
ny with their views, bat in op position to the
opinions of majority Of the people of the
country. While this influence will no doubt
be great at Chicago, it is questionable if it
will be as potent as it would have been if the
convention had been held in Saratoga.
There seems to be little doubt that the
convention will ultimately be captured BY
those in favor of the decentralization If
greenbacks. ALI of Sherman's influence will,
be thrown in that direction, and there seems
to be but little doubt that the delepations
from New York and several of the Eastern
and Southern States will also endoov,r l.,
have the party assume that attitude, The
edlct of New York is usually potent in the
conventions of the Republican party. and
when we add to this the entire money nowar
of the country, it will readily be seen that
the agencies can hardly be withstood. The
issue may be reduced to one between plat
form embodying the characterization idea or
a candidate who holds to that theory. This

4 Thief's Poor Haul .

One of the cashiers of the French
treasury department in Paris, on being
informed of a serious error in some of
the accounts, rose hastily and quilted
his bureau, leaving an open cash-box
containing, in notes of co. Is, 100 and
1000 francs, the sum of 1865 francs.
He was not way three minutes, and his
two subordinates never left the room in
his absence, yet on his return he found
the cash box empty. 1t is supposed that
an agile thief slipped through the
crowd, and creeping in STOPPING POSI-.
ton behind partition, got within reach
of the cash box, and secured its contents.
II is thought that the only person who
could have committed the theft was a
man of strikingly handsome appearance,
wearing a white waistcoat and an un-
mistakable sir of distinction, who was
seen about the place. The feelings of
this elegant personage on reaching home
and examining mis- plumber might form
a subject for noveiists. All the notes he
had captured were condemned as worn
out and destined 70 be withdrawn from
circulation. Every one was stamped
with the words which cancel French
banknote. He had stolen only bundle
of worthless papers. Here let us draw
the veil, as the story books say.
