THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1867. For Sheriff or Anything Else-Mr. l'etcr Lyle. Mb. Pktfr Lylk, after twenty years of servioe Jn tlie rankB of the ward politicians, and after laving been a oandidate for all tue otnoea Under the corporation, from precinct Judge, Xip r down, now conies once more before the people of our city as the Democratic nominee or the office of Sheriff. The persistency with hich this gentleman lias sought for office leads us to believe that he baa adopted the Scriptural advice given to the priests of Baal, and, considering the people as a god, gos on the principle that it is necessary to ''cry aloud ior he may be hunting, or peradventure he fileepeth" never once admitting that the ears of the voters will be deaf to the continued Supplications of one whose prayer has been coming up to them for aC least two decades. Ui3 eagerness for anything he can get reminds ' ns of a story of General Jackson. The Gene ' ral was waited npon by a strangor, who de manded rather persistently the ministership to the Court of St. James. He was refused. ."Then let me have the Consulship to Liverpool." "My dear sir, it is ' Impossible." "Then, Mr. President, can you give me a pair of old boots?" Mr. Lyle wanted the Registership last year, and what not the juany years before, but now he seizes on the thance of being Sheriff with as much ardorjas though all his life he had been aiming for that position, and that alone. His views as to what public offioe he would take, coincide with Mr. Toots, who neatly expressed his senti jnenta with the assurance that "it is of no consequence." However, letting the dead past bury its dead, we will look at the claims of Mr. Lyle to the office which while we write he is aiming at. If we understand his claims properly, he laaes them on his military services, and de clares all those not inclined to yield to his de mand aa "radical rascals." Now, other things being equal, the fact that a man was a soldier tranld lead us to support him for a civil Office; but a military record is not ' the Only requisite for a ' po3t of trust. We had unreliable officers in the army as trell as at home, and although we do not place Mr. Lyle among them, yet we cite the Instance to show that the bare fact of having been ft soldier is not a peremptory olaini to support. - So far as the servioe rendered the Government in the war was concerned, there were many men who were compelled to stay at home who did far more to aid the suooess of the cause than those who lent their strength in the field. If, however, a soldier and a civilian were presented for a nomination, and were each sur rounded by equally unobjectionable elements, we would give the preference to the soldier. TJut if the success of the soldier would mean &ot a success of the war doctrine, but exactly the reverse; if the election of a soldier would Hot place in power the principles for which that Soldier should have fought; if by giving him Victory the soldier would get one office and a dozen soldiers give place to a dozen ene mies of the Republio, then we say that the Republican who would vote for that soldier is as false to his principles as the soldier is to the great cause for which be fought. Yet this is just what Mr. Lyle is doing. He is claiming Republican votes on Lis soldier reoord, yet we know that if we elect him for the one place he would fill, all the soldiers in the employ of the offioe of Sheriff would give place to ' semi-Rebels, who Lissed at the name of "volunteer," and who Use Mr. Lyle but a3 a tool to gain their objeot. Shall twenty loyal men be turned out, and twenty semi-Rebels be put in, and all in order that one soldier' may get office? We do not think that our Republican readers can vote for Mr. Lyle if they think of the result.' . Again, Mr. Lyle has demonstrated his unfit ness for the post in the present disordered condition of our country, by the violent temper be has exhibited, and the brutal manner in which he has attacked all who are his oppo nents. For a Sheriff to call half our citizens 'radical rascals" is both insulting and dan gerous. We do not know what we are doing if we place this man in power. Suppose that the madman at the White House should proceed to carry out some of Us wild . suppose the promised coup " l"v DUUUia rn out to be a and not a myth-then we would see reality, a soene oi wiia aiBordr i all the cities of the - u land. The public Bana i , Would be the result. Qod forbid that our fears may be rea W, hut it is not impossible. Then would it be the duty of the fch9riff to preserve peace, and all good citizens would be Jjound to follow him when called upon Ti, If Mr. Lyle were ' Sheriff, our city would be tion would be placed iu the light of illegal epponenis, ana we oe out, oi omoe and opposed to the lawful authority. Think, Re publicans, what you are exposing our city to wlien you vote for Mr. Lyle, and then ruu the jisk, if you can reconcile a support of him With your duty to your country. We have written calmly, and have not ut lered one word againt Mr. Lyle'a personal character, or infringed one jot or one tittle on f.ny but public grounds. Yet we thihk w TgEDAILY EVENING TELEGRAHI PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, have said enough to cause our people to pause ere they vote against our nominee and in favor of a fiery-tempered and imperious man, who might dons great danger in case of a difficulty, and who certainly would give all the patronage of his office to the "slimy things" whom we spurned from beneath our feet for the past six years of war. . Our National Honor. Tub recent utterances of certain of our publio men in regard to their views en the subject of the national filiations are calculated to cause both regret and surprise. Speaking as indi viduals, and not as party leaders, they have proclaimed doctrines which, if uttered by any business man, would not only weaken, but absolutely ruin his credit. It would be grossly unjust to bold either of the great parties of the country responsible for the sentiments de clared by members not authorized to speak in their behalf; yet, even when not binding a party, it is greatly injurious to the national credit, and to the personal honor of the speakers, to hold such views as those ex pressed by either Mr. Pendleton or General Butler. Let ns look for a moment at the doc trine taught by each. Mr. Pendleton proposes the payment of the outstanding loans by issuing greenbacks to the extent of $2,200,000,000; thus relieving the nat'on from the payment of interest on the bonds, and flooding the country with promises to pay, which it would be impossible to redeem. In such an event we would renew the days of Continental cur rency, when a breakfast cost $500 in shin plasters. So long have the people been accus tomed to paper money, that party leaders seek to impre33 them with the idea that specie is merely an article of merchandise, valuable when needed for pay ment of importations, and useless as a domestic medium of exchange. Credit must be based npon some sound foundation. One will not lend his neighbor a large sum of money with out a security bond upon that neighbor's pro perty, such as land or houses, ships, produoe, or cattle, raw material or manufactured goods. And even upon these, with the exception of land, there is a perishable risk that must be covered by insurance. The LTnited States. Government, in order to preserve its existence, borrowed large sums of money, no matter from whom, whether from its own citizens or from foreign capitalists. It gave in return its own bonds secured by the resources of the nation, public lands, revenue imports, and, above all, by the honor of the American people, to redeem these bonds at certain periods. It Issued promises to pay oa demand in .the shape of greenbacks, and pledged its reputation for their payment. As such payments cannot be made in kind, specie is the only mediuji used in civi lized nations. High rates may have been paid for these loans. The merchant frequently is obliged to pay one-and-a-half per cent, per month for money, while legal interest is only half per cent, a month but What of that f It relieves lilm rrom present embarrassment, and enables him to fulfil his obligations, and to reaoh a prosperous posi tion in his business. So this nation was in great danger from intestine enemies. It could not perform the obligation of preserving its existence without money to buy arms and am munition and food and raiment for its brave soldiers. The value of the American Union is priceless. No sum could be too great to expend in its defense. No mathema tician could calculate its worth. And now that the war is over, who, for the sake of avoiding the payment of the debt, would be willing to place . us in the condition we must have been had the Rebels succeeded ? Our very blood boils at the thought. Could terms of condemnation be found sufficiently strong, if a patient whose life had been saved by the skill of his physician refused to pay the compensation due for suoh service, although fully competent to do so f Shall we, after the victory is gained the triumph achieved and the proud position before the world we have obtained degrade our manhood by re pudiating in any form the obligations we have incurred in reaching this apex t So muoh for the proposition from the Democratic leaders. General Butler advises the consolidation o1 the national bonds into one conglomerate, and obliging the holders to reoeive the interest in greenbacks. This is but a shade less dark than Mr. Pendleton's plan of repudiation. As before stated, the obligation to pay theprin cipal in specie, or its equivalent, is binding, and if so, certainly the interest must be paid in the same. Although no admirer of English statesmanship generally, We must say that the British system of consolidation, adopted after the wars with Napoleon, would be muoh more honorable and praeticable. That is, offer the holders at maturity of the bonds the option of taking back the principal in coin or of aooepting in lieu a new bond of the United States, payable at a distant period, with a lower rate of interest say four per cent. both payable in specie. x It may be asserted that we have not the means with which to pay those who might refuse the new loan and demand specie pay ment. Such an emergency would not occur, as nearly all the foreign holders would gladly accept the proposal for they could not obtain as high a rate on a long loan in Europe and the status of America's credit would be so strengthened that fresh capital from abroad and at home would seek the new issue, and fill the uu VICMU IKfl I IIKJ IUU1UUUII WJ those who had itv. 4i,.,,- i In the meantime, let us maintain our char acter among tuUou8 by paying the semi-annual coupons in gold, and, far a8 iU ftnnu. ally reduce he aggregate . of the debt. We .--. .wwai win not hold our people in such low estimation. Rfj to imagine that popularity oan be reached by favoring repu diation. The ex-Rebels and their Northern allies may applaud such efforts, but the friends of the Union and of liberty will never bo far for get theirduty te their fellow-men and the sacred injunction to pay what they owe. "The Wind Taken Out of their Sails." Tub New York Tribune to-day contains a few statistics, which we .commend to our Demo cratic neighbor in Chesnut street. As figures cannot lie, we see what cause there is for the jubilant outbursts of joy which are being con tinually sent up by the Democracy. Without further comment, we let the figures teach the truth: For robust and uublushing falsification tbo Democratic Journal hear the palm.

Mr. Johnson's Speech at Antictam. Well, Mr. President, the consummation so devoutly wished for is within your reach. This mortal coil could be shuffled off.
