dissensions that disturb the party seems
to. be exceedingly simple and direct. 1t
is to unceremoniously kick out all who
presume to reject his leadership or en-
tertain opinions OF their own on po.
litical affairs. In the prosecution of this
vigorous policy he is removing colored
citizens who have held small govern
ment offices, and who at the late conven-
ton declared themselves in favor OF
maintaining, tho party organization.
These persons are active, shrewd lead
ers oftheir race, and deprivation OF Of

contrary, will probably be done hence
forth in the interest OF the democrats.

ed to $14, ,675, 1874, or about 1S per cent.
less than for the same time ia, 1880. AT
this rate the London Times will find it.
self astray in Its estimate tliat the ex-
port to America this season will be only
one-third to one-half that OF last season.
The Statist of the Sd inst. said that New
York might yet call for $50. .0O0. .0O9
from Europe before the end OF the year.
The Economist of the same date said:
''The United States were able to, .attract
Els, 900. 900 of gold from Europe in
1879, and ETA. 900. 900 in 1880. They
will be lua position to draw q very con-
siderable amount this, year too: and
though there are reasons for thinking it
may not be SO large sum as last year
or the year before, as they will doubt
less to q large extent prefer mouey's
worth to money,ye what demand there
is will tall on q considerably smaller
stock on this side" It is clearly the
Opinion Of the best aEuropeaf, Judges
that the American demand will have to
be- watched closely and checked prompt

have embarrassed the situation, and
