In his letter denying that he is in sympathy
with Congressman FELTON, in the latter's revolt
against democracy, Mr.. Alex. II. stephens also
takes occasion to deny Saying to a reporter OF
the Washington STAR" several things about
Gen. Grant and the feeling in the south towards
him. Inasmuch as THE STAR had never put
these expressions in Mr.. stephens mouth it
was scarcely worth while for him to deny them.
If he has been reported as uttering the sentt-
mentS complained of it was In some other Jour-
nal than THE STAR. We copied, about two
weeks ago, an extract from the Augusta (Ga J
Chronicle to the effect that Mr.. stephens spre-
ferred Grant to Tilden." That is the only time
we have published anything purporting to be
Mr. Stephens sentiments on the Grant question,
and then the extract was duly credited to the
paper from which it was taken.

1t has been determined by the friends of Gen.
Fftz John Porter to bring bill for his relief be-
fore Congress among the early days of the COM
Ing session. The report OF the military board
that reviewed the Porter case was submitted to
the Senate, during the extra session, without
Recommendation, and 1t now remains for Con-
greSs to act. A bill will be introduced restoring
Gen. Porter to his rank-major-general-i the
army, and 1t will be pressed for passage. Gen.
forter's friends claim that the question OF his
restoration will not become a partisan one, as
there are many republicans who will vote for 1t.
Inls may be true, but it is equally true that no
democrats will vote against it. 1t Is evident
ihat there will be bitter opposition to the bill.
and 1t Is said that, in order to show that the
board OF review did not do its work thoroughly

Democratic Congressman from the South. and
West have expressed themselves In recent in
terviews upon the coming session of Congress
and its laborS, in favor OF aboliShng the ma
tional banks and substituting greenbacks for
the currency OF those banks. This policy Is in
direct conflict with that but lately promulgated
by the eastern democratic organs. and forbodes
the raising OF financial issue that it was suppoS-
ed the late elections had settled. Congress
man Buckner, chairman Of the House Commit
tee on Banking and Currency, has, since the
fall elections, declared his adherence to the
policy of doing away with the national banks
and their circulation. The democratic papers
OF New York and the East and so far as they
have spoken, the democratic leaders OF the
East, too, insist upon the retirement OF green
backs and the maintenance of the nationa
banks. Here is direct conflict within the party,
and the question Is which side shall yield,
II either does? On questions Of finance the
eastern democracy have ever dominated their
brethren OF the south and west. But Mr..
Buckner says that the republicans of the west
agree with him, and will vote to abolish national
banks and substitute greenbacks for their circu-
lation. II this be correct the coming session
may witness the same sort OF an union, on the
currency question, between the western and
southern members, as was brought about by the
silver question. Then silver league" was
formed, and in behalf OF the dollar
the daddies" republicans and democrats
consulted together and forgot all political diff
ferenceS The indications now are that tinan
cial questions will command conspicuous atten
ton during the coming session, but as to what
shape the legislation, If any be enacted, shall
take, nobody, short OF prophet, could foretell
1t Is very evident, however, that the republi-
cans are more in harmony upon this question
than the democrats, though the Importance of
the presidential election may enforce unity in
both parties.

Mr.. Frederick Hassaurek editor of the Cincin-

Sherman as the next President. He says the
democratic party is too badly beaten and too
much demoralized to make a fight next year
with any hope OF success that Mr.. Sherman is
the only man who can wrest the republican
nomination from Gen. Grant, and to save the
country from the latter he Is for Sherman.

DIR. Fields ~ nm Alch y u,,irt.

DR.. William Fields of this city, who
has gained considerable celebrity for
his invention for turning iron in a mol
ten state into steel, has also pushed his
scientific researches so far that Le has
become very successful in the ce5ul-
pherizing OF silver ore. He has taken
through silver ores by his process at
Richards, Ingram Il Co., met-l reiinrrs,
Eighteenth street and Washington
Avenue, Philadelphia, i poands of sill
yer ore from three lod-s, from Pinos
Altos, Buckeye and McNulty Grant
Co.'S. lodes, New Mexico, in the pres
ence of chemists and experts. The
Doctor had reduced the ore into a fine
state, put it i'll his chemical liquid cold,
and then put it in 4 cruicihle and smell
ted II.
The result of the operation was that
out Of 4, pounds OF ore, lie got one
pound nine ounces and six drachms OF
metal and - ounces of Stag, which in a
ton Of 2240 pounds would make ol9
pounds of metal. The metal will be
separated in few days by the Doctor,
and the matter as it now is can be seen
at the Doctors Office 2l3 West Seventh
street. This is an extraordinary yield
of silver, aud the Doctor says that it is
only by his elTectual mode OF desnlpher.
izing the ore that such large results
can be obtained. Through this mode
he thinks s., coo can he extracted from
ton of ore. BY the same process, gold
pla,ina, lead, iron, and all other kinds
of metals can be desulpherized and thu
quantity Of pure metal to the ton in
creased.

The Pension NIL signed.

President Hayes signed the Pension
Arrearages Bill on Saturday. lie said
at the time that the bill passed that he
looked upos 1t as doing substantial
justice to the soldier, but he regretted
extremely that it appeared upon the
stage at this time, in view of the enor-
nous expenditure it entailed. This
expenditure cannot begin until an APP
preparation has been made, az II has
been officially announced that no pay.
ment will be made under or on account
of the bill until Congress makes a spe.
cifc appropriation for the purpose, 'he
appropriation of s29, 100000 already
made for pensions he;ng devoted to the
payment of claims recognized by pre-
vious legislation. 1t begins to look as
though the work of raising money TO
meet this increase in the war debt
would fall on the first Democratic Con
gress, which meets next December. 1t
is almost certain the present Congress
will make 10 appropr iation.
