No MONEY CONFERENCE. = Lord
Salisbury last night sent to Ambassa.
dor Hay the reply of the British gov
eminent to the proposals of the Amer
lean bimetallic special commission,
headed by Senator Wolcott. 1t is q
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS note. His lord.
ship says that the government of Great
Britain is not able to reopen the India

and an enlarged use of silver: In
these circumstances, continues Lord

not see Che desirability of an interna-

IT Is to be hoped that the movement
in favor of the publication of correct
school history of the United States may
succeed, so that the children Of the
South may read and learn the true
story of their country. No intelligent
man has an idea that such history
will be used in the North, but Southern
children should not be allowed to grow
I'D with the belief that their grand.
fathers were rebels and traitors, who
should not have taken up arms to de-
fend their fresides, and who are not
entitled to the glory that is accorded
them everywhere else except in the
Northern half of their own country.
Northern histories teach that General
Lee was an "insurreciionist" and John
Brown a "hero and a martyr" that
Burnside's army was checked at
Fredericksburg, that at Bull Run the
"rebels were driven from the field, but
that stray shell bursting among some
teamsters started panic that nothing
could STOP" that never mention Gen
Forest, and speak slightingly of Stone
wall Jackson. Such books, instead Of
being used in Southern schools, should
when brought South, be burned in the
court house squares.

THURSDAY EVENING. OCT. 21, 1857

The Washington Star, that pretends
10 be independent" and the Balti
more Sun, that says it is democratic,
are both doing all they can to defeat
the democratic party in New York,
Kentucky and Maryland, and to elect
the ticket of the party that supports
trusts, combines and high tariffs, which
raise the price of the products of labor
but not of labor itself; that fulhlls its
promises to some of those who SUBJ
scribed to it's election fund by allowing
them to buy a government railroad Tor
twenty millions less than others would
paw for it, that keeps hundreds OF thou
sands of fraudulent names on the pen
sion list, and that favors negro DONNA
ton in the South by appointing ne
groes to Office in this section. Every
man in the country has the privilege
of expressing his own political opinions,
a I'D exchanging them, and if the papers
referred to would throw off their masks
and boldly declare that they believe in
the principles and policies ofthe repub-
licsn party, and are republicans, most
right thinking people would have a
better opinion of them than they now
have. The New York Sun has boldly
gone over to the republicans, and says
so. and even those who regret its de
sertion of the peoples party, admire
the bold and unequiyocal stand it has
taken.

THE G.. A. r. estopped President
Mckinley from fulfilling his promise to
appoint Colonel Mosby to federal pc.
sition, and now it appears that they
have also prevented him from fulfilling
his promise to make General Long

The G. A. R. don't want any "ex.reb-
els" in theirs, and they don't hesitate
to say SO, and their influence with Mr..
Mckinley, who is one Of them, is po-
tential. The appointment of negroes

of ex, Confederates by the present re-
