The scheme of the English chancellor of
the exchequer to issue 81 notes has fallen

of il. What will our free silverites do

have persisted in spreading report that
these new notes were to be based on sill

presidency.
What action Congress will take cannot,
OF course, be foretold. What action it
ought to take cannot very definitely be
judged from the abstract of the Chilean
correspondence furnished to the press to-
day.-Telegram.
Something seems to have happened in
the telegram Office. There is evidence
of an attack of modesty, but it won't be
severe or lasting.
The tide which has of late years been
carrying independent voters and even Re
publicans into the ranks of the Democrat
fc party may not have definitely turned at
last as the Springfield Union contends
with some force. but it has certainly tenn
porarily stopped running in the Demo
cratic direction. Whether it will resume
its former::course or turn back TO the Re-
publican party or divert itself to some
altogether new direction depends on what
inducements to intelligent men the Demo
Gratis and Republicans respectively offer

To publish such general attack upon
n large body of men is very unjust.
Some conductors are possibly careless
and Indifferent, most certainly are not;
and these should not be implicated in a
general assault. All complaints should
definitely state the time of the occur

eral accusations are grossly unjust and
undeserved.
