Htrphcn A. Douglas.
It is wonderful how soon in this country
we forget our great men. Five years ago no
man in the nation commanded a wider
influence or stood out more prominently
as a representative man than Stepiikx A
Dora las. Saddenly cut down in the midst
or his career, he has already passed as com
pletely out of the public mind as though he
belonged to another age and generation.
Amidst the stupendous events which have
occurred since his death the momentous
changes, the vast prepress in ideas both his
name and his career have faded iuto compara
tive obscurity.
The proposed laying of the coraer-stone of
a monument to be erected to Mr. Douglas
memory in Chicago has been made the occa
sion of a somewhat prolonged tour by the
President, and will probably recall for the
moment men's minds to the illustrious Indivi
dual in whose behalf these proceedings are
ostensibly made.
It is the fashion of the times to deal in
extravagant laudation of the distinguished
dead. The maxim, "Be mortuLs nil nisi
bonum" is almost literally followed out.
Men who were fiercely denounced all their
lives are as indiscriminately praised after
they are dead, the denunciation and the
praise often coming from the same parties.
This is signally illustrated in the case ot Mra
Douolab. No man was more fiercely de
nounced while living none has been more
highly commended since death.
'1 his style of dealing with public men is
demoralizing in many ways. It tends to
break down that distinction between good
men and bad men, between good actions and
bad actions, which it is the highest interest of
virtu to have maintained. Moreover, it
tends to remove from the minds of public men
that sense of responsibility to the judgment
of the future, which in most cases is a restrain
ing and elevating influence. The man who
feels that he is amenable not only to the
opinions of his fellows, but also to the calmer
and more discriminating: voice of those who
shall come after him, has in that very fact an
Impulse towards the right and a restraint
from the wrong. But how can this Influence
be maintained, if after death no discrimination
as to the acta and characters of public men is to
be made, and all are to be alike the subjects
of commendation 1
The closing acts in the drama of Mr.
Douglas' eventful life were so errand, so
unselfish, so full of all the best elements of
heroism and patriotism, that it would be an
ungrateful task now to review his earlier and
less worthy political career. The pen of the
Impartial histoiian, h jwever, will not tail to
point out his Instrumentality ay, his leader
shipin the overthrow of the Missouri Com
promise and the passage of the Kansas
Nebraska act, as one of the chief proximate
causes of that fearful agitation which finally
culminated in our recent terrible war. Nor
can the true lover of liberty ever forget that
utter Indifference to the moral character of
slavery which formed the key-note of his
actions through life. These, however, are
the more discriminating views which history
will take of the man, when the events of our
times shall have fallen into their proper order
and rank. For the present, we may be allowed
to dwell upon that magnificent burst of patri
otic feeling and action with which the illus
trious Illlnoislan illumined the close of his
public career, throwing into comparative
-shade and f'orgetfulness all that he done and
said before.
Hungary and Francis Joseph.
Simultaneously with the telegram from
Prague announcing that peace Is regarded as
a certainty (which has, however, since been
consummated), another telegram from Pesth,
the capital of Uuneary, brings us the Informa
tion that, after the conclusion of that peace,
the Emperor Francis Joskpii of Austria
intends to appoint a Hungarian responsible
ministry, and that the Hungarian Diet is to
be formally reopened in Pesth some time
during the month of September. If this in
tention Is carried out,IIungary will be restored
to her lull rights under a constitution, of a
thousand years' standing. There is a pecu
liar significance in this double announce
ment. To the thouehtt'ul it reveals at once
the Becret of Austria's vulnerability, and
points unmistakably 10 an easy solution of
the problem how a flrst-rate power like her
could collapse within such a short period of
lime. !
The seriea of defeats on the battle-field
suffered by Austria, were owing as much to
the disintegrating tlnents at work within
her own limits as to the superior military
ability of her enemy.
At the outbreak of the war she presented
the anomaly of a natlou without a nationality.
Uer provinces differed widely In race, lan
guage, historical tradition, and political aspl
rations. The Germanic, Italian, Hungarian,
and Sclavonic tendencies ware represented by
these provinces respectively, and at times
several nationalities were struggling In one
and the same province. Since the formation
4)t that Empire, "Divide et imperd" had been
the ruling maxim of the Hapsburj dy
nasty to sedulously foment dimensions
amongst those different nationalities the
chief study of her statesmen. They were
used as a check upon each other, and in cases
of internal danger, artfully turned towards
the oppression of the less submissive portions,
of that country. A policy of doubtful honesty
in Itself, it became the source of Irremediable
weaknes whenever Austria was called upon
to cope openly with aa enemy strong in the
enthusiasm produced by a common tongue, a
common history, however brief, and unity of
interests. In the course of her disastrous
policy.sbe succeeded in estranging every one of
the provinces from the dynasty at her head.
Yenetla longed for the embrace of a sister
people beyond the Quadrilateral; Galicla
sighed for a united Poland; Panslavia
ttc tendencies gained ground more and
more amongst the Sclavonic races; Hungary
stood ftrmiy and unflinchingly upon the time
honored Constitution which secured to her
people nationality and independence. Op
posed to each other, these provinces had at
the same time their distinct prievances to lay
at the door of the ill-fated dynasty. Bismabic
was not slow to perceive th's state of affairs.
He sounded the tocin of war, and success
rewarded his efforts. Bui the successful ter
mination of the thirty days' drama was owing
quite as much to minor dramas that were
being acted quietly and without ostentation
within the heart of Austria itself., It is in
this sense that we call attention to-day to the
radical reform, or rather, restoration in Hun
gory which gives that people all they con
tended tor during the revolution of 1843-9.
Feisdlnand abdicated in favor of Fbancis
JosKPn, to evade the oath given In support
of their Constitution. After a lapse of eighteen
years, Fbahcis Josepu, in the day of his
humiliation, by an act of tardy justice, con
fesses himself a usurper, and his rule in Hun
gary an illegal one. The peace of Prague is
a cup ot bitterness, prepared for him by the
hands of hi3 right royal brothers ; but the
Diet of Pesth is a cup of humiliation which
the wickedness ot the House of Hapsburg has
filled for iteelt by centuries of byetemaUc
misrule. j
The National Credit.
We have no tears that the. Government or
people of the United States will ever be
tempted to repudiate their financial obliga
tions. The high premium which our bond
command In the market is a suuicientsocurity
against such a contingency, setting aside the
question of our national resources as com
paied with our liabilities. The world has
realized the fact that tnere is no better or
more desirable class of securities in which the
poor and the rich alike can invest their means ;
let it likewise be understood that the nation
will never break faith with those who1 have
reposed in its bincerity such unlimited con
fidence, i
Notwithstanding these commonplace truths,
which are upon the lips of every one, there is
and has been a persistent effort on the part of
a certain class of men to lose no possible op
portunity for decrying our national credit,
and thereby Involving us even more inextri
cably in the quagmire ct financial distress.
For example, the steamer Java, which sailed
from New York a few days since, carried to
Europe copies of a circul ir over the signa
ture of a well-known firm of brokers, in
which we find the following remarkable pas
sage :
"These proceedings of Congress and the sub
sequent action of 'Je Treasury can only be in
terpreted as eonU .plating the payment in a
greatly depreciated currency ot ttie 5-20 bouis
of 1802. tailing due next May, which 6w exist ma
laws are not payable in gold, nsr ewn in legal-
lender tmenoacka, out omy in notes oj me national
banks.'" I
This statement bears on its face the evi
dence of its utter and absolute falsity. At
the time the bonds in question were issued the
ational Banking system was not in exist
ence. These bonds, as is the case , with
nearly all of our other securities, are, by
express legislation, made payable in gold.
The only question now in, Shall the Secre
tary of the Treasury purchase coin at a high
premium, to redeem the bonds as they fall
due on the first option ; or shall he wait until
we have reached specie payments, as he is
permitted to do, and then pay off our obliga
tions without a ruinous loss to the Govern
ment? The New York Iribune of, this
morning has the following sensible comments
on this subject : j
"For atiy American banker to say to Eurooean
bankers that it Is intended to redeem the issue
of 1BC2 1u May next, with currency, is to assert
an untrue sad mischievous statement, which
will seriously injure our national credit if un
contradicted. We now boo tUat if ConsrresB had
pupfc'd the proper legislation, and not re-iricte1
the Treasury to the amount of reduction of cur
rency, we should have been back to spoclo py
nieut'' on the 1st of April next, ind after May we
should at any time have bad the riuhttopay
the $614,000,000 Five-twenties ot lMb'J iu com.
and bave pold tbe funded loan to furnish the
coin to do it with. I
"Our duty is to wait, and not exercise the
option ot l aying the issue of 1SC2, until ws can
do it without being compelled to pay a large
premium for gold, until, in fibo.t, we leacb.
specie payments. Above all things, our bankers
slio' lu not go abroad with danders upon the
national credit, and especially with bints of
national repudiation. The American securities
now bid fa'r to rule foreiim markets. Every
dispatch tells us of the largely-increasing de
mand lor lorclpn securities. The Five-twenty
s ihe favorite investment in Hamburg, and
Paris, and London. We should be proud of
this recognition, and think tbe men who have
kept our credit so eteady and unavailable."

Quotations of Gold 10 A. M., 148; 11 A. M.,
1494; MM.. 149; 1 P. M.. 148 J.
The New York lribune this morning says:
"Money on call is abundant at 4(W)5 per cent,
but the borrower is in many cases expected to
take National bank notes, which are plenty on
the street, and cannot bo had readily, under i
C or cent, discount. In paper little doing. Many
u.yers are disposed lor the moment to keep
funds idle, and wait the cll'ect ot moving the
crops, expecting better rates. The payments
from the Treasury are large to-day, and there is
a general desire not to take the National cur
rency by bunks in the Clearing House, where it
is loi settlements unavailable.
"The payment of the temporary loan, except
Clearing Iloune certltica'.es, wnich are redeem
able In legal-tender, places the Treasury in a
stronger position tnau it has held for a long
tunc, but it may uot leave, permanently the
money market to the public. Having nothing
oi temporary debt to pay for some t me, there is
every reason to esoect that the Treasury
will, liom its excess of receipts over ex
peises, accumulate cunrncy in its vaults, and
iu that, way bave a conservative effect upon
speculators. Gold and currency promise to
accumulate to an extent to be lelt bv borrowers,
and the Secretary will be tn a position to take
acive though indirect t-teps in funding the cur
rency. He will be atle lo holl the funded debt
at a price when conversions of currency debts
into it will be constant, anil in nuc!i amounts a-"
to make it certain that all the 7'30 ;ll lake
that oirecUonsspeedil. The Secretary has now
power to dabble in Government Mucks, and
bteadily net short into long debt, and can make
at wul an easy or tieat money market by his
manipulation ot the debt. While he is work
ing back to specie, as be silently is, borrowers
oi rnonev win ne upon tiusae ground."
