ENeLIsg IS A saYLoeK.

The Cincinnati Commercial has been in.
vestigating the record of English, and las
amassed evidence showing that he has for
many years been dealing in usury, fleeing
his neighbors by buying tax, titles, lend
ing money on mortgage and then foreclos-
ing on the first opportunity, suing people
for compound interest, and displaying a
greed of gain, rapacity, and cold
blooded inhumanisy, eminently calculated
to render him odious. As the Commercial
publishes the proofs Of his many business
transactions of this kind from the public
archives, there Is, OF course, no room for
controversy as to the truth of the main
allegations. To bear out its statistics, how
ever. it prints interviews with half a dozen
men whom English ruined by his peculiar
methods. 1t is not pleasant reading. 1t
shows that English is smart man, but
without single trait of generosity, CON-
Function, or honor His practice is to dc.
mlnd whatever IS in the bond, and not
only that, but to take advantage of every
legal technicality to fleece and crush his
numerous victims. As candidate for the
suffrages of great people it would be diff
calt to imagine a more unfit man. No
doubt he has a weighty barrel, but judg
ing from his habits in money matters it
would be very difficult for the Democratic
managers to get their fingers intoit.

MORE FIAT MONEY TALK.

Our evening contemporary, as IN duty
bound, takes up the cudgels for the Placer
county fiat-money Democrats, and attempts
to show that their proposition to pay out
all the money in the Treasury in the dis
charge Of bonds falling due next year is
sane one. 1t says; "There are idle and
useless in the Treasury over $500, 600, coo
" in coin, most of which might, perhaps,
=" be used in payment OF this debt, and if
50 this were so the whole of it could be
paid in six or seven years without any
" increased taxation" What does our
contemporary mean, or what does it think
1t means, in referring to the coin reserve in
the Treasury as idle and useless = The
fact is that this coin reserve is performing
work of the very highest Importance. It
is maintaining all the currency of the
country at gold par, and it cannot be dis.
pensed with for that purpose 1t is the
basis of the whole currency system. Tie
stability of the currency depends upon its
being where it is. Were it paid out, as
the fiat-money people propose, the ef-
feet would be to destroy confidence in
the entire paper circulation. The green
backs would instantly depreciate. Having
no longer any potentiality of redemption

THE SULTAN AND mR. cosoHEN.

The Sultan is said TO have expressed
Tears to Mr. Goshen lest the Mohammedan
inhabitants of the territory claimed by
Greece should be ill-treated in case the
Porte surrendered the territory, and Mr.
Goschen is said to have assured the Sultan
that there was no possibility OF any such
ill-.reatment, and that the Powers would
guarantee the safety of the Mohammedans.
We are afraid that if Mr. Goschen offered
the Sultan this guarantee he undertook a
task beyond his capacity. The fact is that
there is very strong reason for appreheud-
ing i'll treatment Of the Mohammedans by
the Greeks. if the former are delivered INTO
their hands. It is not sufficiently appreci
ated that all the races Of European Turkey
have been living for centuries in mutual
detestation, and that they are all and
always yearning to cut each others
threats. The Greeks are no more to be
trusted than the BulgariaDs, and all the
world knows how the latter used the Turks
when they found themselves uppermost.
1t is therefore highly probable that if Mo.
hammedans are surrendered with the ter
ritory, the Powers will find themselves uu.
able to prevent barbarous raid upon the
unfortunate Moslem. Their best course
would be to quit the territory before
change OF government is effected.

THE SOU fHERN CENSUS.

The New York Herald. which is hy.
bnd Democratic paper, pretends to see
nothing in the alleged census frauds at the
South. This is quite natural in the Her.
aid, for it began by approving the nomina.
ton of Hancock, and has been straddling
the political fence ever since. The facts
and figures which have been brought for.
ward in this connection, however, have
evidently SO far convinced the Superintend-
ent of the Census that he proposes to
have new enumeration made in the most
suspicious cases. OF course il the present
doubts are confirmed by this test, it viii
be necessary to take the census afresh
through the greater part of the South, and
we may be certain that the Democrats in
Congress will offer desperate opposition
to any proposition of the kind. They can
not do this, however, without exposing
their own hand, as they did in the case of
the election laws at the last session.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE.

When the Executive Committee of the
Republican State Central Committee met
in San Francisco after the late Convention,
it was speedily discovered that lack of
harmony existed among its members, fatal
to the efficiency of their action. The ap-
pointments in several cases were unfortu-
nate, and between outside criticism and in.
ternal disssnsions, it was evident that the
situation was not tolerable. 1t was there
fore decided to issue call for a meeting of
the State Central Committee for the pur-
pose of recognizing the Executive Com
mittee, and the meeting will probably be
called for next Thursday or thereabouts.
In view of these facts we desire to urge
upon every member of the State Central
Committee the expediency of attending
the Forthcoming meeting in person, instead
of by proxy. The reasons for this course
ought to be obvious. In recognizing
the Executive Committee it is desira-
bic that the greatest scope of opinion
should be brought to bear upon
the new appointments, to the end that they
may be wise and sound. 1t is specially
desirable that the action of all cliques
should if possible be escaped, and that the
new Executive Committee should repre-
sent the deliberate and unbiased choice of
the individual members of the State Com
mittee. The free use OF proxies at such
meetings may facilitate the dispatch of
business, but it is apt to create doubts as
to the commences of the action taken, and
at such a juncture as the present it is par
ticularly necessary that no such doubts
should be allowed to exist. Let the men,
bers of the State Committee remember that
the Republican party is largely dependent
upon them at this moment for the character
of its standing in the campaign, and let
them make even some sacrifice of personal
interests rather than absent themselves
from this meeting.

1t is no longer possible to delude our
selves with the hope that the South seeks
no more than share of the offices, or that
it is content TO stand upon the platform
which General Hancock has made for him
self. 1t does not, it never will, accept the
constitutional amendments As matter
of fact it has nullited them persistently
from the first. The doctrine OF the civil
rights of the colored citizen is repudiated
throughout the South. Wherever the ne
gro has attempted to assert these rights
he has encountered the most determined
resistance The resolution of the South.
ern whites not to submit to these results
of the war has led them to disgrace
themselves with the most hideous bru.
talities. The vile faint of Slavery, which
degraded every slave-owner, robbed him
OF his humanity, and trained him to re-
gard black man as beast of the field,
has survived emancipation, and shows itself
anew in the barbarities of the Kuklux
and kindred organizations. And this
odious spirit is as rife as ever to-day
1t dominates Southern politics, and it
is at the bottom of that refusal to accept
the results of the var, Of which President
Hayes speaks. The South, in fact, has
never ceased to work for reversal of tie
issues of the war. Its people believe that
Ii the Democracy is victorious it will be
possible to disfranchise and degrade the
negro, and to bring the North under vas
salage. The undoing OF the results of the
war, however, is the main incentive to
political action throughout that region.
Southerners do not look upon the amended
Constitution as tinality, whatever the
North may do. They continue to hope for
reversal of the judgment Of the sword.
and to that end they are now bending all
their energies. The principles for which
Lee and Jackson fought are not obscure.
There can be no doubt as to what they are.
And it is to the Democracy that
the South looks for the triumph of
these principles. It is scarcely necessary
to comment on this state of affairs. It is
perfectly apparent that the success of the
Democratic party at this time would be
the success of the principles referred to by
Wade Hampton, and that means, if it
means anything, the victory of all that the
war was fought to hinder and put down.
The issue has been made squarely, and the
North cannot avoid it. 1t is the old con.
test, scarcely at all disguised, and as such
it must be met and fought out to the end

TO sustain them they would sink in value
every day. The Greenbacker proposition
looks to the breaking down of specie. pay
ments, In fact. That is what our contem-
porary aims at, and that is the only result
its wild ideas could possibly produce. 1t
is not practicable to pay out all the money
in the Treasury without producing panic
which would in twenty four hours sweep
away more property than the whole ma
tional debt amounts to- Our contemporary
wishes to pay off portion of the debt by
bankrupting the country. 1t IS an IN
genious notion and entirely worthy of the
Greenbacker intelligence whichAconceived

and assuredly the American people have no
desire to try any such experiment While
we are discussing this question it may be

after prolonged debate in Congress; after

was three years in contemplation, and it
was finally adopted as being in the interest
of the people, and as in strict consonance
with the soundest views. 1t was thor

men, and one quite unique when you con-
slider the path by which he has attained it,
and the very unusual difficulties which he
has had to surmount in order that he might
attain it. The late Professor Clifford, it is
related, once climbed the vane of church
steeple, and hung on the cross-bar by his
toes. If Mr.. Fawcett, without sight to help
him, had done the same, we doubt whether
he would have achieved anything more in
trinslcally surprising than what he has
actually achieved, in reaching nearly the
highest office below the Cabinet, without
the help of wealth or anything approach
ing to wealth, without the help of genius,
unless the power of giving close attention
to a subject be rightly described as genius,
without the help of any remarkable gift
OF eloquence or persuasion, and with the
enormous and, to ordinary men, almost in
conceivable impeachment of blindness in his
way. 1t might, indeed, be said that to
certain temperaments blindness would aid
instead OF hindering the gymnast's stead-
ness of head In dizzy situations But no
one could maintain that in dealing with the
world of political and literary controversy,
by which Mr.. Fawcett has won his arduous
way to eminence, blindness can ever be re.
garded as anything but one of the most
daunting and most weighty of all the dis
qualifications for success. 1.-THE Spectator.
