PAYING CoNGRESSMEy IN SILVER.

Secretary Sherman is little too lenient
Members of Congress do not seem to be aware
that he is exercising toward them a consider
able degree of favoIitism. Other creditors of
the Government, it is true, have some reason
TO complain if the Secretary of the Treasury
forces them to accept silver dollars in place
of other forms of currency which the Gov
ernment has placed in circulation, but the
Congress of the United States, by which the
coinage of silver dollars was required
surely cannot complain il the Govern
mont, unable to dispose OF the dollars
IT has coin d in any other way, insists
upon the payment of them to Congress and
It's employees for their salaries. 1t is true the
Secretary would he doing Il great wrong if he
should force upon holders of United States
bonds, for example, silver dollars, though they
had, under the original contract, every right
TO expect gold dollars or their equivalent.
But whatever claims the present Congress has
against the Government of the United States
they are subject to and both legally and
morally modified by the enactment of Congress
requiring that silver dollars should be coined,
and should be the legal tender in the payment
of debts.
Secretary Sherman, however, so far from
seeking TO press this right of the Government
To choose in what form it will discharge the sala
res of Members of Congress, has just issued an
order under which the Sergeant-at-A Arms is per-
mitted to draw silver certificates Ill place of
silver dollars, for that portion of the indebted
ness of the Government to Congress which
the Treasury is obliged to pay in silver. This
is an act of especial favor. To many of the
employees OF the Government, who are per-
sons of limited MEANS or who live at distant
points where banks are not prepared to nego-
tate silver certificates readily. this mode
of escaping the inconvenience of carry
ing silver coins would be impracti-
cable. Evidently the Secretary desires to
make the act of Congress as little
incODvenient as possible to members of Con-
gress and in this he shows kindly DISPOSE
ton. 1t is 10 be feared, however, that men,
bers of the majority do not as yet fully ap-
preciate the generous and forbearing spirit in
which they are Gated by the Secretary.
There is some reason TO doubt whether, in
the pubic interest, it might not be better to
bring home to members of Congress, in as
distinct and impressive q manner as possible,
the peculiar Inconvenience arising from the
coinage of silver. Let us suppose. for exam
pie. that the Secretary should declare, in in
struetions TO the officers of his department,
that silver dollars should not be paid ont
10 creditors Of the Government who may man
ifest preference for other forms of currency,
excepting that the salaries of Congress and its
employs should be paid exclusively in silver.
For this course he would have warrant In the
fact that Congress has formally and officially
declared Its Willingness to receive this sort OF

ITOUEN rs MILES.

Heretofore the public has found consolation
for womcn's walkiDg-matches III the disas-
trous failure which usually attended those
enterprises II it was in a certain sense hu-
initiating to know that such exhibitions were
possible among civilized people where women
are the objects of q peculiar loyalty and cour-
tesy. there was swift compensation in the
chilling absence of spectators and in the bank
ruptcy of the box-oIlicc. The poor creature
whom necessity forced INTO such an ignoble
business were shown, with the pIaInness which
is kindness, that the publi'Syas not disposed
to make it proftable and the brutal spccula-
tors who employed them lost their money and
could only enjoy the poor satisfaction oil cursing
an unappreciative community. But now 1t
becomes necessary to record the heightened
modification of "A successful womeD's walk

business secrets of the Spectator who organ

it may be that we are Oyercstlmatng his
profits; but when more than LOCO persons
gathered at midnight on a Sunday night to see
the start, and more than 5000 persons were
present six days later to see the flush, it is
fair to conclude that the venture has proved
successful. The fact that the manager
pald out several thousand dollars in
honest money as prizes is another point
in evidence Managers have been known
to run away from similar responsibilities
when that was the easiest method OF dis
posing of them. 1t is a curious fact that
good proportion of the large crowd present
on Saturday night were women and children.
As 10 the degrading and brutalizing tenden-
cies of suclra show, il ought not TO be neces-
sary TO multiply words. The mystery Is its
attractiyeucgs. If the mass of spectators
come to see female beauty, they are rcasOna-

favorable conditions. Six days and nights of
walking will age a man ten years in looks, as

The reporters agree that the spectacle afforded

LIE WINE CONSPIRACY.

The indignation of Democratic journals
casts curious light upon the infamous act of
Democrats in Maine. The : fcic- York World,
in a prominent editorial speaks of " the COM
"bnation between the Cipher-Alley Demo-
"crats and the Readjustng Greenbackcrs
(which bore fruit in Maine the other day."
quotes the resolutions shaped by the Demo-
Gratis who oppose Mr.. Bayard /" as indicating
"what the Greeuback Readjusters demand
"and Cipher Alley is ready to cOncedc," and
insists that " the Gramercy Greenbackers
"advocate what they confess to be an
unconstitutional currency Evidently The
World means to attribute the swinde in
Maine to the contrivance and influence of
Mr.. Tilden and his associates. That suspicion
should turn in that direction is very natural,
because the men who tried to steal the eec-
toral vote OF Oregon and to buy the electoral
vote of Florida would not stop at any infamy
that might promise success. But the emphatic
assertions of a leading Democratic paper, in
respect to the last Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, can hardly have been based
on suspicion only. 1t must be presumed that
The World has some especial reason to believe
that Cipher Alley prompted the fraud i'll
Maine.
Apparently. also, the object of the arrange
ment between "the readjusting Greenbackers"
and "the Cipher. Alley Democrats is to make
sure of certain Presidential electors. 1t is not
TO be expected that persons who are desperate
enough TO count out Representatives really
elected by one-fifth of the voters of Maine will
suffer the voters themselves to choose the elect
ors. There would be entirely too much uncer-
tainty for them in the result of the next popular
election. 1t is more probable that the con-
spirators contemplate direct appointment of
electors by the bogus Legislature just manu-
factured. .In that case, electors can be
chosen in advance of a National Demo-
cratic Convention who will refuse to
vote for any Democrat except the man of
Cipher Alley. 1t is easy to see that such a Sc
lection would go far TO coerce the Convention.
If the delegates should be informed that the
electors from Maine would vote for Mr.. Til
den, or, if he should not be nominated. for
some Greenback candidate, it Is possible
that the Convention would hesitate to throw
away the seven electoral votes already secured
from Northern State. Perhaps some pre-
montion of this coercive scheme may move
The World to denounce very Indignantly the
dishonest performance in Maine. 1t is even
possible that those Democrats who do not wish
to bo allied with the Readjusting Greenbackers
OF the Cipher-Alley party may be disposed to
resist the scheme stubbornly, either in the
bogus Legislature OF Maine OF in Congress.
The friends Of other Democratic candidates,
and especially those friends of Mr.. Bayard
who are trying in earnest to place the Demo-
cratic party on hard-money platform. will
be apt to ask how far the new alliance ex-
tends. Is it proposed, for example. to gather

The negro exodus is forcing its way again
into the public view, in spite of the deniais OF
Southern Senators that there is any discon-
tent among the blacks. Four hundred
negroes, all of whom were able to pay
their way. have passed through st. Louis
during the past week, and 100 more
ind themselves In that city without
means to go on. Word comes that several
thousand are about to leave Mississippi, and
the movement has now taken hold upon the
Arkansas negroes also. In both of these States
calpet-bag governments have not existed for n
good number of years and the colorcd peo-
pie have had time to grow contentcd accord
ing to Senator Hills rule recently promul-
gated at Washington. That these negroes
have not grown contented is, probably,
merely one of the exceptions which prove
the rule. Oar readers will find in
the Washington dispatches still another
excention-the statement of an intelligent,
hard-working North Carolina mulatto OF the
reasons for the flight of his people from that
State, which has already begun and threatens
to increase rapidly. Mr.. Hill probably
knows how many years North Carolina
has been in Democratic hands, and whether
it ever had what could be called a carpet
bag government. This man tells a straight
forward story, and one that seems to
contain the evidence of its own truth.
lie says, among other things that the
negroes are oppressed by the laws and
cheated by their employers. and are growing
desperate. 1t brings us to realizing sense of
the wickedness Of those carpet-baggers to find
that this state of things exists only because
they have not been away long enough.
