GENERAL CRAM AT THE NATIONAL

date Of November 10, which says: IL have
this moment left General GRANT, aud he
tells me that lie expects to be in Washing

something happens to change his plans

WHO Is GUILTY?

No rational man, be ho democrat or re-
rublican, can believe for one moment
longer, even fhe has been made to believe so
before, that such a person as HENRY l..
MoREY ever existed in Lynn, Mass, even il
such a person ever had any existence at all.
All the material proofs connected with the
PHILP examination are conclusive as to
this point. Then, there being no HEsRY
J.. MoREY to whom TO write the imputed
letter, the conclusion is irresistible that 10
such letter was ever written TO him by
General GARFIELD, and further, that the
letter purporting to have been so written
is forgery which involves crime that
deserves the most condign punishment.
The question TO be settled next is, who has
committed and uttered this forgery to the
country? Is it PnILP-or has he been made
an instrument in the hands of other and
greater rascals, and has been caught, while
they hope to escape? That the MoREY
letter was a base forgery and crime is sub
santially admitted in the confessions of
LINDSEY aud SAMUEL S. MoREY, who had
been suborned to establish the existence OF
HENRY L. MoREY, and stand confessed in
that relation. That the real criminal.
should be revealed is the next question OF
Importance. IfPnLP did not commit the
forgery, who did? The men who on
deavored 10 use this crime under a failur,
to reveal tho real rascal for he is known L
them, should be and will be held response
bic, in public opinion, for its commission
Having attempted 10 use the letter rs gen
uine, 10 the great damage of General GAR
FIELD, aud it having been exposed to the
minds Of all candid men as forgery, il
now remains for Messrs. BARNU1G and
HEWITT and their coparccners in the mat
ter either o produce the forger or endure
the odium of the crime MS their own. There
is no escape for them, though the guilty
one may escape. These men stand to-day
pilloried before the American people as &C
complies, if not the real perpetrators o
this crime, and they never can escape from
that position until they have SURRENDERED
the real criminal for public reprobaiion.

II requires higher ingenuity and skill
now for the democrats to ind good and

WHY NOT SILVER?

We are informed that Comptroller KNOX
will present in his forthcoming report tables
showing the extent TO which the circulat-
ing medium Of the country has decreased
within year That it should have de.
creased at all, notwithstanding the large
influx Of gold from abroad and the products
of the mines in tho west, is an interesting
and singular fact. Hitherto the volume of
currency has been susceptible Of measure
ment with considerable accuracy, the most
of it making its appearance ut the banks
and money centres with something like
periodicity, but now it appears that two or
three hundred millions have mystcriously
gotten away from the financial calculators,
somewhat to the annoyance of the New
York banks, which have been making ex-
ccssive loans, and which find the amount
of available currency incOnyeuiently small.
There is but one theory which will account
for the disappearance noted: The people
are boarding TO a greater extent than at
any period since the war. They have paid
their debts and have surplus OF earnings
which they do not put in banks, the ex-
perience of the late panic having given con-
tidence in savings banks great shock
Months ago we pointed out til tendency
to hoard, especially in the south and west
and urged the secretary of the treasury to
put his silver dollars into those sections
instead of boarding them in the treasury
while sending out the one and two-dollai
notes, so much more useful rs circulating
medium. The silver dollars are particu-
larly attractive to the class OF people who
hoard money in good times. Rust will not
corrupt its brightness, rats will not gnaw
it, fire will not destroy its value. If the
secretary had as earnestly sought to place
his silver where it would do the most good
as lie did apparently TO discredit it as q
standard, we verify believe that there
would not to-day be dollar Of it in tho
vaults. The secretary should have KEEP
the option of payment himself instead o
giving il 10 the creditor; he should have
paid the army at least fourth in silver
he should have paid the postmasters, con,
tractors, etc, all over the south and west
the same proportion of silver. Some of il
would doubtless have returned to the
treasury from time to time, but persist
ence in the course indicated would have
by this time placed the bulk of it within
reach of those who hoard silver and gold
AMI there would be no crying for new
vaults to pile up standard dollars in as use
less for currency purposes. The forthcom
ing report of the comptroller Of the cur
rcncy in that case would simply state th
amount Of silver in the hands of the people
but cry against bi-metallic currenc,
would then have been silenced which, per
haps, accounts for the milk in the cocoanut

BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW. A Novel. BY AL
BERT w. TouRGEE, IL. D., late Judge Of the
superior court Of North Carolina. and author of
"A Fools Errand," etc New York. Fords, How
ard lIuburt.
Among the rare contributions to the popu-
lar literature Of the period is A FOOLS Err
rand" by this author, which has had u
phenomenal run of favor. That creation of
fact aud fancy has been supplemented by this
volume, which relates to the condition of the
freedman immediately after his enfra nchiso-
ment, which is vividly portrayed by the facle
pom of Judge Touigec. TIE vicissitudes of
the black man in his struggles to utilize his
right of suffrage arc presented in strong co.. ors,
and impart thrilling interest to the narrative
The negro vernacular is abundant, and pecu-
liarly interesting 10 those who have n taste
for such dialcctc features. 1t is claimed. by
those c0nversant with so uthern lifa that this
work presents fair feature of real negro life.
1t is enliycned by negro wit and humor that
are exceedingly entertaining. The ostracism
of the race is clearly delineated in the incl
dents of the romance and new Wow of the
difficulties that stand in the way of negro
citizenship and advancement in the race of
life is portrayed in so strong light that
they cannot bo misunderstood. This work is
prom ed a popularity equal to that of "A
Fools Errand."

there is a rich field of uncxplored thought

however, which this author leads into is not
