Opening GT4he international
S2Gnctary Conference.

PARIS, April 10 -I'hc international
monetray conference waa opened
here at 2 o'clock this afternoon BY
N. Barthelemy ST. Hilaire, minister
Of foreign oflilsj who welcomed the
foreign delegates and said; The
object Of the conference was to en-
deavor to establish q normal none
tary standard instead of the shatter-
ed equilibrium of the past, and to
consider the best means for prevent
ing the recurrence Of a disaetrcua
crisis He excused himself from
entering further on so complex and
difficult a question, upon which abler
minds than his had adopted most
opposite opinions. lie concluded
by declaring that if the conference
did not achieve immediate success it
would at least have raised contro~
yoYsios which ara Indispensable to
truth and established a principle
which will bear fruit in tho future.
On motion Of Mr, Eyarts, delegate
from the United States, III. Magnin,
French minister Of finances, was
elected president of the conference
NJ. Magnin, in his opening speech,
mentioned the fact that Fifteen States
were represented. They are Ger
many, Austria, Belgium, Denmark

erland. The English and italian
delegates have not yet arrived. MIR.
Magnin reviewed, tho lif'erent phases
of the question, and showed the in-
conveniences which the gy2lem eae
tablished in 1867, Of gshl standard
with silver as q transitory compan~
ion, had brought about in Germany.
He dwelt on the recommendation
in favor of bimetalism by tho com
mittee of the United States Congress
in 1876. He explained The causes
Of the uon>success Of the monetary
conference in 1915. AS regarded
the objects Of the present conference,
it was Indispensable, in order that
silver shall regain its former value,
that it should again be freely coined
side by side with gold. He said he
hoped the deliberations would show
Chat international biinetalism was
the only system capable Of restoring
monetary regularity in all parts Of
the world. II was not a question Of
discussing treaty, by which some
would gain and others lose. 1t was
simply a question of forming, in good
faith and with a knowledge Of the
subject, decisions equally favorable
to all parties
He concluded as follows; "We
in nowise claim to impose our opin-
ions on others All systems can be
put forward and will be freely dis,
cussed."
The conference then proceeded
with the formal business of organi-
zation, and appointed committee,
who will present ropors at the next
sitting of the conference, which viii
take place next Saturday.

WAsHINGroR, April 20-In CONVEX
sation tonight Democratic senators,
especially those from the South, ex-
press surprise at the reckless i'm
providence with which the Garfield
administration has been squandering
its funds of good feeling on the
Democratic side, which they have
been ready to tender upon the sup
position that tho Southern States
were to be treated precisely like all
other States in the Union. Their
support of Galfelds nomination
would have made the administration
impregnable against the assaults oI
Conkling or any other ambitious
leader in the Republican party. But
Garfield and Blaine have given open
encouragement to the efforts of Re-
publican senators to carry out the
bargin with Malone, the purpose of
which is no longer conGelled, and
now comes Frye, OF Maine, the
bosom friend of Blaine, and sup-
posed to be the mouthpiece of the
administration, and delivers a two
hours speech arraigning State after
State in the South with bitternes s
and invective and intensity of hos
tility that has seldom been exceeded
in the Senate. Democratic senator's
say they feel that it is time to pause
and learn exactly what tho adminie-
tration does mean before they sup-
port it as against Conkling or any
other Republican. One Democrat
remarked to your correspondent chat
he knew five Democrats who told
him they had made up their minds
to-day, after hearing Frye, to vote
with Conkling in his fight against
nominations Objectionable to the
New York senators. Another Dem>
ocrat said he knew four who would
pursue the same course as the most
iudicious anethod of preventing the
President from forcing obnoxious
appointments in their own States

II. L. LIVINGSTON, of Rosedale, Beli-
var county, Mississippi, who was ap-
pointed one of the Watchmen at the
Capitol building, in Washington, in
July, 1879, through the influence OF
General Chalmers, was on the 9th inst.
by unanimous vote of the Board of Po-
lice, promoted to the rank of Policeman.
This promotion is all the more crafty
ing from tho fact that it was neither
sought nor applied for, but awarded on
the score of merit alone.

gent and well-informed colored men that
Mississippi can boast, and is a great

We do not pretend to hold the

The Southern Sta tcs and Theix
Debts.

ave have always believed.in show
ing the largest charity towards the
Southern people in the matter oi
repudiated debts. We have never
forgotten the terrible burden impos-
ed on the Southern States by the
war, and it would not surprise us,
nor should it any business people, il
for long time after the war those
Commonwealths failed in meeting
their obligations. Not many years
have passed since France was in what
seemed to be a hopeless sea of bank
ruptcy. There are men still living
who can recall England's embarrass>
ments at the close of the French war.
1t was the other day when our own
unexceptionable securities were
hawked about by German and Dutch
brokers at forty cents on the dollar.
In time, as they grew strong and
rich, England, France and America
paid their obligations, so we believe
the South will do the same. ."-Wesc

That is very nice paragraph in :
deed, considering the sourct; but the
New York Herald is SO terribly un-
certain in its tone that it "never does
to tie too" One day it is full Of
nice charitable things for Southern
digestion, and the next day its edi-
tolial table is spread with a class Of
viands calculated to tempt the appe~
tite and appease the hunger of the
bitterest hater Of our people.
Like the razor-strop man, it makes
its wares ''to sell, and every man will
find in its columns, at least once a
week, something to accept and in
dorse, but it is left to the people of
the South alone to find more occa-
sion for the use of "cuss words, than
words of commendat on.

WASHINGTON, April 70
Dawes alluding to statement
made by him some days ago, as to
the persecution Of u Massachusetts
man in Mississippi, said that the
story Of that gentleman was to>day
printed in the Massachusetts papers.
That story corroborated his state
ment in every particular, except as
to the locality. The incident had
hap pened in the parish of Caldwell,
in Louisiana and not in Mississippi,
as he had stated. The gentleman S
name was Chas. Heath. He Dawes
asked that the gentleman's state
ment as published in the papers
should be printed in the Record.
Jonas demanded the reading Of
the article and it was read by the
clerk. It relates to prosecutions to
which Heath states he was subjected
in Louisiana because lie was a YAM
kee and gave accounts Of various
murders committed there, to show
the condition of society in that
state
Jonas said that the senator from
Massachusetts, had transferred the
scene Of his cock and bull story from
Mississippi to Louisiana, when it
would probable be translated to
Texas or Georgia. He heard of
these alleged prosecutions now for
the first time. There was nothing
in the article which showed that
Heath had been prosecuted ca ac>
count Of his political opinion. He
called attention to the fact that the
outrages alluded to han been com
mitted nine years ago.

The Mississippi Democrats are deep

will go into the canvass determined
