THE CAMPAIGN IN AraHANIsrAN.

The situation of the British forces in
Afghanistan is evidently becoming more
serious continually. The withdrawal of
the troops from Cabul is already seen to
have been very grave error of judgment.
4 movement against the new Amer has
been developed, and it is safe to predict
that his capital will before long be made
too hot for him. The English force at
Quettah, on the frontier, is hindered from
advancing by the turbulence OF the hill
tribes in the neighborhood. General Phayre
makes 20 progress, and General Roberts,
having had to cut loose from his communi-
cations, is exposed to greater peril the
farther he proceeds toward Candahar.
Meantime the siege of that city by Ayoob
Khan appears to berpushed vigorously. The
strength of the investing force may be
measured by the heavy losses which
the besieged sustained during Etheir re-
cent sortie. Even should General Rob
erts succeed in relieving Candahar, the
work viii not be ended. The combined
forces viii then have to fight their way
out of the country under the most serious
embarrassments, compelled to depend for
supplies upon their foragers as they pro-
ceed, and liable at any time to be reduced
to desperate straits should the enemy lay
waste the country through which they are
to march, and upon which alone they must
depend for subsistence. The abandon
ment of Cabul was an advertisement of the
intention of the British Government to
leave the country, and therefore it has
naturally emboldened every intriguing
chief, and precipitated the conspiracy
against Abdurrabman which was sure to
be developed at the first opportunity. It
is quite probable that this biunder may
render it necessary to reeonquer the whole
province, as the only alternative with a
loss of prestige which might ultimately
inperil the Indian Empire.

present day furnishes SO many and such
striking illustrations of this truth that
nothing but moral strabismus, or
what the Catholic theologians call
invincible ignorance, can explain
the refusal of the fat-money luna
ties to apprehend the fact The idea that
it is possible by statutory enactments to
regulate the market value CT gold and
silver is SO contrary to every practical ex-
perience within the reach of mankind
that it is really astonishing TO find people
who are not incapable of transacting
ordinary business unable to perceive its
fallacy. The premium on gold stood for
years silent but emphatic demonstration
of the folly OF all attempts to bolster
up paper currency by verbiage.
It disappeared only when the neces-
sary coin reserve was supplied.
This has been the case whenever similar
attempts have been made, and this will
always continue to be the case. The one
great lesson of all our currency troubles
has in fact been, that il country wants
to make paper equal IN value to gold II
must make it exchangeable for gold, and
must have the gold at hand TO make the
exchange whenever 1t is required. All
other theories are moonshlne, and fit only
for lunasic asylpms.

TIE SILVER INCUBUS.

In his very thoughtful address on the
silver question before the Bankers Con-
vention the other day, Mr.. George S. Coe,
of New York, pointed out that the differ
ence between the actual and nominal value
of the silver already coined and in the
Treasury vaults amounts to S, 600, 600.
That fact may be probably considered.
These IS. 100000 represent the amount
which Congress- proposes to destroy in the
hands Of the people il it can get the silver
into general circulation. The money in
circulation now is worth par because it is
convertible into gold at par. The silver
has only the legal tender value which IS
given it 10y law. 1t cannot stand on its
own merits, because it is really worth no
more than So cents to the dollar. Already
the silver coin stands for IS, 600, 900 less
than 1t processes to stand for. Who is to
bear that loss We answer, the people f;
and especially and first, the wage-earning
classes. 1t viii be the duty of the Repub-
lican party to demand and insist upon the
cessation Of silver coinage, and the relega-
ton OF the Bland dollars to the harmless
position of subsidiary coins. As legal
tender it must be demonetized, and the
sooner this Is done the better It will be for
the country.

s1NANc1AL FLopPERs.

While Resumption WIS yet unachieved
the people who now call themselves Green
hackers opposed the measure bitterly.
They then argued that it was all nonsense
to talk about resuuiag specie payments,
because, they said, it would be necessary
to provide coin reserve equal to the en-
tire paper currency outstanding. They
also claimed that even speh reserve would
not be sufficient, and chat in fact it would
require more gold than there was in
the whole world The fallaey of these
arguments and objections we exposed at
the time, and resumption in due course be-
came an accomplished fact, And now our
financial harlequins h.ye turned fip-hap,
and 10 and behold, they gravely assert that
resumption can be maintained without any
coin reserve at all. Before it was done
they said it would take all the gold in the
world. Now that It is done they say that
it does not need any gold at all The only
parallel to this reasoning that We can recall
occurs in the logic OF the Irishman who,
seeing his master fire at a bird high in the
air, and bring 1t down, exclaimed, "Arrah
yer honor, We needn't have fired sure
the fall would have killed it p Our
Greenbacker friends can make the applioa-
ton of this story at their leisure.

significantly indicative of the gravity of
the change which public opinion has under
gone on cognate topics. For instance
he explains the anti Bradlaugh movement
by observing that The rank and file of
his opponents are not so much the
sincere believers as the worshipers of a
hollow and hide bound respectability,
the people who dare PROSTATE themselves
Sin abject generation before the shall
lowest cant of the day, and their lead
'ers are men whose genuine belief in God
sis about on par with MIR. Bradlaughs,
''but who see an admirable chance
g for putting in a spoke in the wheels
''of a Liberal Government. No coarseness,
"or brutality, or irreverence for the gen.
@ eral objects of belief is half so shocking
81 TO my mind as q simple alliance between
"aolemn humbugs, honest bigots and cyni-
zeal and INSCRIPTIONS partisans. This is
very severe, yet Mr.. Stephen undertakes
to predict that his ceusure will not be chal-
lenged, and goes SO far as to say that these
who are most deeply concerned dare not
STIR the matter further. Certainly the cant
of religion is worse than the honest rejec-
ton of it, but the pretense of defending it,
made for political effect by those who really
repudiate it, is, to use Mr.. Stephens own
words, simply disgusting"

THE ATTACKS UPON GARFIELD.


The Democratic attacks upon Garfield
have already been worn threadbare. They
were without substance at the outset, but
it has become almost amusing to see the
Democratic papers monotonously ringing
the changes on the Credit Mobilier and
De Golyer stories, and pretending all the
while to a holy horror that man capable
of such enormities should be nominated
FOR President. For even if the Credit
Mobilier and De Golyer charges were as
valid as in fact they are invalid, they would
not constitute any impeachment of Gar
fields character from a genuine Democratic
standpoint The party which is so
shocked because of these alleged ofenses,
be it remembered, is the party that never
could see any wrong in Tilden's cipher
dispatch corruption, or in Grover of Ore
CONS frauds, or in Garoelon's attempt to
steal the State of Maine, or in Boss
Tweed's little peculiarities. It's the party
from which the advocates of national re-
pudiation and national swindling have
sprung. It's greatest financial lights have
been such men as PendIeton. In the
South it has reduced reputation to sci
ence. In politics it has practiced fraud as
fundamental principle. In allits policies
it has exhibited a contempt for sincerity,
candor, honesty, morality, truth and 10y
atty, very remarkable in party SO ex-
trenely sensitive to the fictitious lacaes
of the present Republican candidate for
the Presidency.

Marshall, and, Endorsed in the fullest
measure where such Endorsement was
possible, it constitutes what must
ever be the most authentic account
of the discovery of gold. In Marshall's
narrative there is no mention of any
boiling of nugget by any Mrs. VIM
mer.'' We presume that this is a
misprint for Mrs. Wemer, who actually
was at the mill at Coloma. There is,
however, no doubt whatever that the
finding of the gold was done by Marshall
himself, and it is equally certain that he
himself, and not Mrs. Wemer, aseer-
tanned the true nature of the discovery.
Marshall himself was satisfied that the
metal he had found was gold, but as there
was no means of testing the matter
chemically at the mill, he was obliged to
wait four days, until he could 90 down to
Suffers Fort, where he took some three
ounces of dust in a phial. 1t was then
tested in the presence of Sutter, first by
weighing and then by nitric acid. 1t has
been said that when Marshall first found the
gold he concealed the fact from his men.
This again is mistake. lie showed them
what he had found Immediately, and
though they were skeptical at first,
several of them began searching for them
selves, and soon found other specimens.
We do not know what kind of 'sold
pioneers Mr.. Del Mar has talked with,
but if none of them could give
him any better information about the
discovery than that which he publishes
in the Californian, the memories OF the
poor old fellows must have failed sadly
One of the versions he gives is to the effect
that the discovery was made by MARSHALL S
g little daughter" As Marshall had no
little daughter this story will have to be
ruled out. But the simple truth is that
no real mystery overhangs the circum-
stances of the discovery, as can readily be
ascertained by whoever chooses to refer to
| the little narrative referred to, and Wnlch
is entitled :" Life and Adventures of James
"W. Marshall, the Discoverer of Gold in
California. We have thought fit to de-
vote SO much space to this matter because
it is really important that misrepresenta-
lions of the discovery OF gold should be
brought to an end, and because it is time
attention was called to the actual facts.
The circumstance that the discovery is in
correctly related even in the American
Cyclopedia shows that there is not a little
warrant for apprehension as to the growth
of a regular mythology about an event
which ought to be as clear as day, aud
which future generations should be enabled
to read about without any nisgivings as to
the accuracy of the narrative.

and help in the spcoess of that party. No
journal was mere hopeiessly wrong than
the Times, but none of the leading papers
came st all near the real situation. This
state of things is being discussed by the
English press now, and though the views
OF the metropolitan and provincial journals
are somewhat warped by jealousy. it is
clear that the provincial press is nearer to
the people than that OF London. Whether
that immense city is destined to become
as much separated from England as Paris
was from France lew years ago remains
to be seen, but it is already obvious that
the metropolitan press VIII have to adopt
an entirely new system of informing itself
regarding provincial opinion, or it will
speedily.lose all hold upon the nation out
side London, and tAus become itself pro-
vineial in new way.

THE DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN CALI
FORFIA.

1t is less remarkable that many different
accounts of the discovery Of gold in Cali
fornia should have been spread abroad
than that those who have at various times
undertaken to write the history of the
State should have taken SO little pains to
ascertain the facts, as their radical diver
gence on central points illustrates. Even
so careful writer as Mr. Hittell has in
his history of San Francisco made several
mistakes in regard to this event, and be-
side his account most other quasi his
torians are the veriest romancers. The
latest Misrepresentation of the facts occurs
in the September issue Of the Californian,
in an article on General Suffer by Mr.. Del
Mar. As this gentleman has had a severe
training in the study Of statistics it might
have been thought that be would have
evinced more caution than usual in re-
counting an historical incident of SO much
interest and importance but we are dis
agreeably surprised to find that he has only
followed the common tendency, which is
to surround the event with legendary inven-
tions. Mr. Del Mar begins by taking it
for granted that the sources of information
in regard to the discovery OF gold are
doubtful and difficult Of access, and that
in fact it is not possible to get at the preise
facts. he says: 81 have talked with a
dozen old pioneers, some of whom were
with Marshall or Suffer at the time
"tMarshan was at Coloma, and Suffer at
New Helvetia), and have endeavored to
learn the true secret of the Find, but
without success. Some say that Mar
shall found the first piece OF gold others
that his little daughter found it; others,
chat Mrs. WINNER, who provided meals
'' for the workmen at the mill, found it
'and Others again, that Mrs. Winners
"son found it. General Suffer himself
once told me that Marshall was the
g finder, and although Suffer was not on
the spot at the time, am inclined to
believe this the true story for, while
"fresh, it must have been related to SUIT
"ter with great ninuteness. 1t is, how
lever, agreed on all hands that if Mrs.
"Wimmer did not find the gold, she was
"the first to determine its character.
Woman like, she put the doubtful mug
get into soup pot and boiled it." Where
did Mr.. Del Mar obtain this wonderful
legend about "Mrs. WINNER" and the
boiling of nugget And how is it that
he could not discover the true story of the
find For that story has been written and
printed, and was accessible ten years ago
Taken down from the lips OF James W.
