The Erench RefornIers.

The constitutional revision league of Paris
has announced its doctrine which is that
reform or durable government is impossi-
blewith two hostile legislative houses" And
because the houses may sometimes antagonze
each other, therefore they would have the
government of but one house. Give them
that, and if it did not agree with them thoy

Sinking OF the AIbemarle.

Daniel G. George having advertised him
self as the man who exploded the torpedoes
which sunk the rebel ram Albemarlo in AL
bemarle sound on the night of Oct. 81, 1864,
the Navy department has, at the request of
Paymaster Francis II. Swan, given out for
publication Comd'r Cushings report of that
daring deed, together with his testimony
given before the district court in the prize
proceedings, Paymaster Swan, who was with
the crew of Comd'r Cushing launch, vouches
for the truth of both these statements, as does
also Charles l.. Steever, the surviving engi-

Secretary EOIuer.

Secretary Folger was not so we'll yesterday.
For several weeks he has been ill one day and
better the next. The immediate cause was
overwork and insufficient nourishment. This
has impoverished the blood and depleted the
system to such an extent as to render him ex-
tremely susceptible to climatic changes and
liable to easily contract local diseases. He
was at first attacked by slight congestion of
the right lung, which lasted only day or
two; then followed biliousness, accompanied
by u daily rigor, succeeded by slight fever.
This lasted u week or more. Then he was
we'll enough to attend at the department for
u few days. change in the weather came
and he contracted sore throat, and that hav-
ing disappeared his cold hasn not settled in and
about the eyes. At no time has he been seri-
ously i'll. He has been well enough to desire
to attend to business, but too i'll to bear the
whole burden of his duties. His physician
has now prescribed absolute rest, and advised
him that it will be unwise to attempt to trans
act any business for several weeks. 1t isprob-
able that within that time he will take sea
trip to Bermuda or elsewhere.

Gold Ccrtihontes.

Mr.. Fl. +. French, acting secretary of
the treasury, has received communication
from the officers of several banks in Chicago
asking that gold certificates issued by the
the assistant United States treasurer in that
city be made to bear some marks of identified
tion; that the gold received therefor be held
to redeem such certificates and no other; that
the assistant treasurer in Chicago be supplied
with reasonable amount of both large and
small certificates; and that the different
denominations be made interchangeable. The
assistant secretary has replied that it is not
deemed expedient TO place distinctive marks
ON the current series of gold certificates for
the purpose of identifying them as an issue of
the Chicago office that such n mark would,
in his opinion, lead to complications and tend
to discredit these certificates in other cities,
where, in the ordinary course of circulation,
they might go. The department, he says,
is not at present prepared to authorize
the issue Of distinctive series for
Chicago alone, since that would involve
the question of n separate and distinct series
for each subtreasury. If, however, the
bankers of Chicago wish to exchange one
denomination of certificates for another and
will so inform him, the department, in view of
existing circumstances, will cause the Chicago
office to be supplied with gold certificates of
the smaller denominations and authorize the
desired exchange

'cnt of the governed is less easily obtained
by the next set of agitators.
The despotisms both of monarchy and Of the
mob have chastoned the people, and made
order the most desired thing in France The
fiction between two legislative houses, com
pclling non-action where both cannot agree,
Is not likely TO be dreaded half so much as
tho wild will of a single body in times of high
political excitement. If government keeps
the peace, protects life and property, and
leaves all free to pursue gain and houors what
more can be desired9
If such a government is responsible TO the
people, who can vote II out of existence when
II fails to promote those objects, he is an in
cendhry who would stir up an excitement
which by any possibility would seek any
other vent than through the ballot box. The
agitators in France appear to be discontcnted
with their own place in the republic rather
than with any failure in its duty toward tho
people.

"The war with BnaIand.,


The only evidence which can be had Of the
correctness of the published statement that
the British government, through Minister
West, has recently intimated to the State de-
partment "that the violent expressions which
certain professcd American citizens have
given utterance to since the dynamite explo-
sion in. London may disturb the utherwsie
amicable relations existing between her maj
esty's government and the United States" is
purely intcrential, and deducible only from
the reluctance or rather the positive refusal,
of the State department officials to say any
thing upon the subject Mr.. Davis, the as
sistant secretary, said to-day az have read
the New York papers, but cannot say any
thing upon the subject. Even If it were as
stated, 1t would not be proper subject to dis
cuss with the public. II is no doubt very an
noying to the English government and peo-
pie to feel that men are harbored In another
country, and to some extent encouraged in
their sympathies with indirect aid to the as
sassin and dynamite plotters who are giving
them so much trouble but this government
can deal only with facts and acts under the
laws as thoy stand upon our statute books.
Much more Importance is attached in the
other country to the sensational reports and
rumors published in our papers than we give
to them here. They do not understand abroad
the liberty of the press as IL exists here"
Secretary Frelinghuysen would say nothing
whatever upon the subject. Minister West
was equally reticent, intimating that IL would
be manifostly improper to say anything in
regard to the particular subject of inquiry,
but "on general principles" he added, "you
can say tho relations between the two coun-
tries We're never more cordial and better
understanding never existed. / do not see
the slightest reason to apprehend that these
relations may be impaired"

OUR morning neighbor, whose party con-
sorted with Maine greenbackers until the
latter would not associate with it, and which
is now living in a state of polygamy with
Michigan greenbackers, Tennessee repudi-
ators, and Virginia Masseyitcs, has spasins of
virtue at times aud volunteers to suffer yica-
rious remorse for the sins of which it con-
fesses the republican party to be guilty.
Merely for tho purpose of illustration we al
luded the other day to the fact that George
II. Pendleton and Brick Pomeroy advocated
the payment of the 5-20's in greenbacks,
whereupon our muchfused neighbor fires OFF
a swapping retort that some republicans were
in the same boat. We had wit enough to
know all about that. What we said and say
is that the same exacting sensitiveness con-
cerning the national honor which then de-
manded tho fulfllment of the supposed spirit
as we'll as the letter of the law under which
the 5-20's were issued ought to be equally
aroused when an attempt is made to cheat
day laborers for the government by pretend
ing to better their condition by reducing
their hours of labor and then make them pay
for the time so giuen them, That was all.

Postmnsters, Salaries.

The Postofiice department has already re-
ceived and filed for examination large num-
ber of claims of postmasters who are entitled
to increased salary under the provisions of
the readiustment act, known as the "Spauld-
ing BILL" passed at the last session of con-
gress. An attorney representing a number of
these postmastcrs is now in Washington, and
has made an informal argument in their be-
half at the Postofiice department, maintaining
that the increase of salaries provided for by
the act may properly be paid out of the regu-
lar appropriation for salaries for the current
fiscal year. The officers of the Postotiice de-
partment, however, assert that the law pro-
viding for the readjustment of postmasters'
salaries cannot be carried into effect without
a specific appropriation, and that to pay the
amount of the increase of salaries out Of the
regular appropriation bill would create alarge
deficiency. 1t is the intention of the depart
ment to begin the work of readjusting sala-
ries under the 2-cent postage law, as provided
for in the Bingham BILL" as soon as pos
gible

whig party politics during tho Taylor and
Fillmore campaign in 1sis. The declaration
that he expected to possess no particular in
fluenco or association" with those who were
"coming into power" was not the language
Of a party leader. Mr.. Webster had warned
his countrymen against the Texas annexation
scheme, and he could not be enthusiastic over
the hero of the war which grew out of IL. 1t
will be remembered that, notwithstanding
this indifference of 1si9, tho Great Expoundor
exhibited signs Of returning activity in 1850
and made his fatal bid for southern support,
