Tho speeches in the British House OF
Commons last Tuesday on the silver
question were not all Of them encoura-

b.rnetallism were heard from elsewhere.
Monsieur Meline, the protectionist lead
er In the Chamber of Deputies OF France,
presented a motion that the government
open negotiations for the bringing about
OF an international monetary agreement.
An international agreement Is the one
thing that is needed. 1t is England that

news. on the same day on which Eng

the subject the Belgian Premier, replying

fails in his duty to his section, which
has been deeply blackened by pathetic
stories of apocryphal atrocities.
Under the original act of Republican
Congress providing for this valuable and
interesting publication, under the APP
pointment of a Republican Secretary OF
War. a northern man, a Republican par
fisan. a Union soldier throughout the

sonvllle prisoner. was chosen TO
compile this record relating TO
prlsoners of war. SO there can
be no pretence that the record is likely
10 be perverted to the side of the South.
All that the South asks is that the plain,
unyarnished facts may be given TO the
world. The South is willing tc accept
and stand upon the record as made up
under these circumstances. And for the
reasons given 1t ought to protest to the
last against its suppression by any par
tisan trick under the guise of plea for
economy.
The compilation of the remaining series
IS completed, and several Of the volumes
are stereotyped and indexed, and all the
others are ready for publication. 1t has

thorlty. 100000 to collect and select Tho
matter for these volumes. How mucf
economy is there in stopping the work
