We learn that a number of Republicans in
WnshiDgton, wbo Bre prominent! connected
with tbe financial institutions of tbe country,
have been consulting together about our na
tional finances, and have agreed upou a pro
position to relieve the Government and country
of existing and future troubles. It is said also
that these financial philosophers are about to
lay their plan before Mr. MoCulloch. Surely
the people should be thankful for the wisdom,
benevolenco, and disinterested conduct of such
patriots of the Republican faith. Seeing it has
been the Republican party, led by Salmon P.
Chase, MoCulloch, and the rest of the
Treasury ring, which has crushed us down
with burdens and involved us in almost inex
tricable financial troubles, it is certainly some
relief to learn that an enlightened few of that
party have found the panacea for the evila we
endure.
By the Republicans "prominent in financial
institutions of the country," we suppose the
correspondent means national bankers, large
bondholders, and the Wall street gold and
stock operators connected with the Chase
McCullooh Treasury ring, though he was too
modest to say so. Well, what do these finan
cial patriots propose to do ? Simply to return
to specie payments about eight months from
this time that is to say, on the 30th of June
next. And this is to be done by redeeming in
gold the bonds these patriots hold. That is,
the Government shall pay for the bonds about
thirty per cent, more than they are now worth
In the market. The Government can now enter
the market, just the same as Mr. Smith, Jones,
or Brown can, and buy these bonds at little
Aver seventy in gold. Yet it must not do so,
according to these philosophers; it must give
a hundred in gold, though all the rest of the
world can buy at seventy, or it must not buy
at all till the market price is forced up to par.
This would be a nice little arrangement for
the bondholders, if practicable. But we are
not told where the gold is to come from to pay
for two thousand millions of bonds. Mr.
MoCulloch has got a hundred millions
in the Treasury, but that is only a twentieth
part of the amount needed. Should he part
with his hundred millions in buying bonds at
, par, where would he find gold to take up the
other nineteen hundred millions 1 Nearly all
the specie coming into the Treasury Is required
for current demands, and he would be left
With but little of the precious metal. How,
then, could specie payments be brought about
fcy this plan f Nineteen-twentieths of the
bonds would remain unredeemed, and Mr.
MoCulloch would be left without gold in his
chest. Would not gold go up again, and,
perhaps, higher than it is now, under such a
state of things ? The truth is, there is no way
of reaching specie payments, without a fearful
revulsion and a bankrupt Treasury, but by
letting things take their natural course and by
ceasing to tamper with the currency. The
country would grow up in the course of a few
years to that point when the present volume
of currency would be not at all too much for
its necessities, aud Uien w tlioul rouuU
.Specie payments.
This conference of financial patriots at
Washington holds out a sop to the people,
however, for the purpose ot having their
bonds increased in value over thirty per cent.
They will consent to have the outstanding
bonds taxed or the debt funded at a less rate
of interest. This is sirni'ly a dodge to get the
specie-paying plan forced upon the country.
If we had a Secretary of the Treasury who
understood the subject of national finance aud
would take advantage of his opportunities to
reduce the debt, he would use all his resources
in buying up and cancelling the debt as fast
as possible and at the lowest rate, lie would
be in no hurry to return to specie payments
till a large portion of the debt were liquidated,
and the weight removed from the people. We
should come to specie payments much sooner
by constantly reducing the debt than by in
creasing its burden through forcing it to par
value. But we must wait till some abler man
' is put at the head of the Treasury before we
can hope for any improvement in the present
ruinous financial policy of the Government.
Italy and Rome.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
Garibaldi, the Government of Italy, and the
Court of Rome entertain hopes widely different
on the issue of the present revolution, and the
despatches emanatingfrom the three different
parties of the Italian people accordingly vary.
. There is the usual discrepancy with regard to
many facts. On the whole, however, we are
better informed on the actual condition of
affairs in Italy than we are on most of the
other great complications in Europe. One
.great fact towers above all the disorepant
Statements of details, and is more or less ad
. niitted by all parties: the insufficiency of the
Papacy to save the temporal power without
foreign aid. The Italian Government expresses
no less than Garibaldi the ardent desire to
consummate the national unity by the annexa
tion of Rome; the representatives of the peo
ple, in Parliament assemble!, have for many
years been almost a unit on this question; the
Papal forces, compared with the army and the
militia of Italy, are insignificantly small; and
the result, therefore, of a conflict between the
Italian and the Papal Governments could not
for a day be doubtful.
The temporal power to-day still exists only
because it receives the support of France. Is'p
Other Government of Europe could be of equal
service, should the suppor of Prance be with
drawn. The Issue of the Roman question,
therefore, depends in the first place on the
attitude of Prance, and in the second on the
continuing deference of the Italian Govern
ment to the behests of France.
We have had during the past few days seve
ral cable despatches on the intentions of Louis
Napoleon. It was first stated that the rela
tions between Italy and Franoe were of an un
friendly character, that Italy had appealed to
the great powers of Europe against the Sep-
tember Convention, and that this appeal would
have the support of Prussia. A later despatch
Informed us that the conferences of the
Italian Ambassador with the Emperor at
Biarritz had led to important concessions on
the part of France, that Italy would be allowed
to tak'e possession of the Papal provinc.es, and
that the city of Rome should remain under
the temporal rule of the Pope only until
the death of Pius IX, when the temporal
power was to cease altogether. Too little
is thus far known of the negotiations bntweeu
Italy and Prance to allow ua to f-jrm a
definite opinion of the accuracy of these state
ments. It to, however, probable, from the
well-known ''VYlllb
leon that he will not be found inflexible a
Sard-the union with Italy of the country
di'tHoU Of the Papal States, but that on the
other hand, he will interpose an absolute veto
to the annexation of the city of Rome. The
Emperor ! on more than on one occasion,
admitted the maladministration of the Papal
tuatfs, aNd expressed his own wish for the
reculailzation of the Roman Government. But
he has been equally emphatic in expressing
his desire that the Pope shall not beoome the
subject of the King of Italy, and that his
entire independence shall be guaranteed by all
the Roman Catholio Governments. In the
Napoleonio theory of government, the Church
holds an important place as one of the most
powerful agencies which the chief of a State
can use for the consolidation of Ids power,
and it must therefore be expected that Louis
Napoleon will cling with great tenacity to the
maintenance of some kind of independent
domain for the Pope. We, therefore, doubt
that he has consented to the abolishment of
the temporal power on the death of Pius IX.
The Italian Government, notwithstanding
it3 despicable servility, chafes against the con
tinuance of its bondage. It is sure to make
the utmost exertions to extort from Napoleon
some concessions. But it will hardly go
further. Nothing in its conduct encourages
the hope that it will dare to make a manly
and open stand for the rights of the Italian
nation. We doubt the news announced in a
cable despatch published yesterday, that Victor
Emanuel will soon pass the Roman frontier,
and proclaim Rome as a part of the kingdom,
lie may, with the permission of France, annex
the country districts, but he will stop, we
believe, before the gates of Rome.
In the meanwhile the immense excitement
which has again seized the Italian nation can
not fail to promote the political education of
the people. Even journals which are not
friendly to the cause of Garibaldi admit that
the enthusiasm for him spreads like wildfire,
and is irrepressible. General Cialdini is said
to have reported to the Government that sen
timents of the most radical nature are finding
the widest circulation in the army. This pro
motion of liberal sentiments, we are sure, will
be found to be one of the lasting results of the
present revolution.
Tbe Rfiult of the Late Elections Ita
Cauiea and Consequences.
from the N. Y. Timet.
The result of the late elections is not due to
any increase of Democratic strength, but
simply to a falling off in the Republican vote
Practically, so far as carrying States and elect
ing candidates are concerned, it comes to the
same thing; but in speculating upon the causes
of the result, and the inferences which it war
rants, a very clear distinction must be made.
The success of the Democrats is not due to
any increased popular support won for their
principles or party. It" does not show that
any greater number of the voters of the coun
try approve of their principles or desire to put
them in power. It only shows that a good
many Republicans have, for some reason or
other, become dissatisfied with the conduct of
the Republican party, and have not voted at
all. There is nothing to indicate that they
have voted with the Democrats, save in excep
tional cases; they have simply staid at home.
There is evidently enough of them to hold the
balance of power, and if they should finally
decide to go over to the Democrats, they would
give j.ty b filv uUmm w r9RUtulag wu-
trol of our national politics. But they have
as yet given no indications of such a purpose.
What is it which has thus, for the moment,
alienated them from the Republican party ?
Nothing, certainly, in the principles and policy
of that party, as laid down in its platforms and
resolutions. Nothing which it did during the
war for the salvation of the Union. Nothing
which it did after the war for the restoration
of the Union, upon the principles which the
war had established, and for the equal civil
rights and immunities of all classes of our
people. Not one in ten of the Republicans
who have not voted at this election, desires
or would consent to abrogate any of the
measures by which these results have been
brought about. No one would dream of set
ting aside the Emancipation Proclamation,
the Constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery, or the guarantee of equal civil rights
to the negroes of the South. Nor do we
think it by any means clear that they would
favor the exclusion of the enfranchised slaves
from the ballot-box. They have, it is true,
in Ohio refused to admit negroes to the suf
frage on equal terms with the whites; but there
are practical reasons for allowing negroes to
vote in the South, which do not prevail in the
North and in spite of the loud demands
made in the name of universal freedom and
equal justice by the apostles of "progress,"
practical considerations have and always will
have much more weight than abstract princi
ples in deciding the result of an election. The
negroes in the South are too numerous to be
subjected to the arbitrary control of the
whites. Their rights of person and of pro
perty demand protection, and in this oountry
we recognize no mode of protection by Gov
ernment, except by participation ' in it. No
community could long exist in peace where
half the people, more or less, depended wholly
on the other half for the enjoyment of their
rights. Political considerations, moreover,
will reinforce this argument. Republicans
everywhere feel anxious to retain the ascend
ancy of the party, and they know that the
South cannot now be made or kept Republican
except by negro votes. In Ohio and other
No tjiern States none of these motives have
any considerable weight.
We think it is universally recognized by all
Republicans, therefore, a3 a necessity, that the
right of suffrage should extend to the negroes
in the South. It is not because the party has
taken this ground that it has been defeated,
nor would the party be strengthened by aban
doning it. It is too late in the day for any
party to maintain that this is exclusively "a
white man's Government." And, under ordi
nary .circumstances, and apart from other
influences, we do not doubt that iu Ohio, as
in every other Northern State, a majority
of the people would vote in favor of negro
suffrage.
But we do not think that the great body of
the people, or of the Republican party, are
satisfied with the manner in which this ques
tion has been treated. They are not satisfied
that we have the right to force universal
negro suffrage upon -the people of the South
ern States at the point of the bayonet, and to
exclude those States from the Union until
they accept it; nor that it would be good
policy to exercise the right if we had it.
Still less are they satisfied that it is either
Just or expedient, while thus admitting the
negroes to the ballot-box, without qualifica
tions of any kind, to exclude the great body
or the whites thus handing over the Gov
ment of those States to the absolute con
trol of the negroes within them. The prac
tical result of such a policy shocks the
public Bense of justice. Every man, no mat
ter how strong his party feeling may be,
shrinks from A policy so entirely at war with
fair dealing.
And while these acta of the Republican party I
have excited discontent, the speeches, me
naces, and loose talk of many of its most In
fiuontial members have done still more in the
snme direction. The threat constantly held,
over the South that, if it does not take this it
shall be forced to take something worse: the
menaces of confiscation; the bullying iuso
lence which such men as Wade, Chandler,
Nye, Ashley, and men of theirstamp, mistake
for statesmanship, and the coarse, vulgar,
and offensive tone they habitually adopt
towards all who differ from them In opinion;
the evident purpose of leading political mana
gers to perpetuate their own power by exclud
ing the South from all share in the Presiden
tial election; the fulsome laudation and ser
vile sycophancy displayed, on every occasion
and in every relation, towards the negro, and
the open, undisguised contempt with which
the pretensioiis of white men, even to an
equality of faculties, privileges, and rights,
are treated by some of the fanatics who claim
to be Republican leaders these are among
the things which have helped to disgust thou
sands of the calmer and more considerate
members of the party, and to hold thein
aloof from the political contests of the day.
These are faults that ought never to have
been committed. If the party had not been so
strong in numbers and in position, its leaders
never would have ventured upon such experi
ments. It has been betrayed by overconfi
dence into arrogance and injustice. Its temper
has been harsh, overbearing, and cruel, in
stead of generous, liberal, and magnanimous;
and, as always happens in such cases, it has
been quite as timid and subservient in regard
to its self-assumed leaders, as it has been
remorseless towards those who were in its
power. The party in the French Revolution
which was most ferocious in its dealings with
the helpless victims of its fury, trembled and
cowered beneath the lash of Marat, Danton,
and Robespierre. Political human nature is
not changed by lapse of space or time.
What is wanted, therefore, to give the Re
publican party its old strength, is not any
change in its fundamental principles or aims,
but a better temper and a calmer mind less
intolerance and greater moderation. It is the
party, and the only party, which represents
the advancing sentiment of the age which
aids the cause of political progress and re
sponds to the higher aspirations and nobler
aims of each successive political generation.
This is its strength, and if wisely used, this
will give it a permanent hold on the confidence
and support of the people. The Democratio
party has made no progress in either. It is
the party of reaction of reaction not only
acainst the mistakes and heedless imprudences
of the Republicans, but against the principles
and ideas which have become an essential
part of the very framework and substance of
the nation. JNothinR can Rive such a party
even a temporary triumph but the blunders
ard wrongs into which too great success may
bttray its opponents. All that is needed now
is that these be promptly and thoroughly re
deemed.
The October Elections.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
Judge Sharswood (Dem.) is elected to the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania by about 1000
majority over Judge Williams (Republican)
The very last official return is not yet re
ceived,, but the result is ascertained within a
very few votes.
Judge Sharswood is in -no respect a better
jurist tli.n JuJ8. Wllllaiu., txx Ua la far more
generally knowD, and, living in Philadelphia,
where he has long been on the bench, he was
certain to poll more votes on personal grounds
than Judge Williams, who lives at Pittsburg.
No Democrat, so far as we know, supported
Williams; while David 1'aul Brown, a veteran
Republican lawyer of Philadelphia, issued a
pamphlet urging llepubucaus to ignore party
and vote for hharswood.
We lost Philadelphia by having a county
ticket on which no soldier was placed, while
the Democrats had three officers of the line on
theirs, and so won the votes not only of Re
publican soldiers, but of many who love and
honor all who fought for the country against
the Rebellion. Had our ticket been made up
as wisely as its antagonist, the Republicans
would have carried the btate by thousands.
The New York Times says that the Repub
licans complain of the secret circular of the
Democratic' State Committee, whereby a great
vote was drawn out for their candidates. We
have seen no such complaint. It was the
business of that Committee to get out as large
a vote as possible, and they did it well. If
we were disposed to complain at all, it would
be that the Republican Committee did not do
likewise, liut, while we know that this Com
mittee were tar less efficient than the Demo
cratic, we should have to know that they had
ample means before assuming to censure. It
is manifest that the Democratio Committee
controlled and spent an extraordinary amount
of money. Look again at the language of
their secret circular, addressed to a conliden
tial Democratio manager in each county, as
iouows:
"Dear Sir: The necessity for close attention
to Uetulls in this contest is most apparent. It
Is comparatively noiseless, but it suuuld be
muue mil 01 activity.
"The great end to be accomplished is:
"To poll every Democratio vote.
"The first thing to be done is to learu the

Yet with this extraordinary effort and
manifestly lavish expenditure of money to an
extent which the Republicans could not begin
to equal, Sharswood has about 1000 majority,
while the Republicans have both branches of
the Efgirilature In ppite of the defection in
Philadelphia.- And the Democratio vote is
not so large by several thousands as it was
last year, when the Republicans gave Gover
nor Geary over 17,000 majority.
Compare these facts with tbn rnort nvnr

Let us turn to Ohio, where General Hayes is
chosen Governor and the whole Republican
State ticket carried by some 3000 majority.
True, we lose the Legislature, which is un
lucky; but the political majority therein will
represent a minority of the people. Look at
the ''special despatches" from this State to
the World of Thursday:
Cor.UMiirjs). Ohio. Oct. 0. We have undoubt

We are confident that Ohio, too, will prove
to have cast a Democratio vote many thou
sands below that by which the State has been
twice carried by the Republicans, and will te
carried again. They have brought out their
last vote, while the itenubiieans nave iauen
far short of theirs, as they did in 18G2. We
lost the Btate that year by 5000; we carried it
the next year by 100,000. Does any one doubt
that we shall carry It next year r
As to Indiana, though the election was for
local officers only, and the vote generally iu,nt,
its average aspect is good, especially where the
vote is heaviest. Thus at. josepn s county
(the home of Schuyler Colfax) elects the whole
Republican ticket by the unprecedented
malority of 900, of which South Bend (the
Sneaker's towni gives jja. mere was
special election in one ward of that town a few
weeks ago, and the vote being light a Demo
crat was elected, and a great ado made over
it by the World jj Co. Now that ward casts a
full vote, and goes largely Republican. Here
are a few returns which we find telegraphed
to the Cincinnati Commercial:
Allen county, 1300 to 1000 Democratic majority;
last vear. 2068.
Delaware, 1000 Republican malority; last year,

Ohio, 68 to 212 do.; last year, 137.
Jituh, 200 do.; last year, 195.
St. Joseph, 900 do.; last year, 811.
The Republican majority in the State last
year was li'Zvz.
Iowa has gone Republican on every ticket
by at least 25,000 majority; our despatch says
30,000; last year on a light vote, 35,330. The
Republicans of that gallant state early planted
themselves openly on the equal rights ot man,
and there they abide. They were damaged

Honor to Ohio" Defeat or Ntirro
Mufl'rage.
From the JV. Y. World.
The Tribune publishes an editorial pane
gyric on the Republicans of Ohio, instead of
raving at and berating them, as it would seem
more natural for that journal to do under the
circumstances. The substance of its eulogy
is, that whereas the Ohio Republicans had
reason to suppose they would lose many
votes, and ran great risk of losing the elec
tion by presenting the negro suffrage issue,
they were too magnanimous to hesitate be
tween expediency and duty. Says the Tri
bune: "That amendment was properly submitted to
the people to be ratified or rejected at the late
election.
"Of course, it was understood that we were to
lose by it how much could only be determined
by the result. But the lower half of the State,
and especially the southeastern counties, were
originally ai.d largely settled from Vlrglulf
and Kentucky; and it was notorious that many
of their Kepubilcaus would resist negro suf
frage, while every Democrat would do his
utmost to defeat it. The Kepubilcaus. therefore,
with everything at stake, including Mr. Wado's
seat in the Senate, accepted In fact, challenged
an issue which they might have postponed,
and thus transformed intoa hazard what before
was a certainly. They did what was right, and
Just when they could not fall to lose by it, when
trimming and a low expediency would have
insured them against all danger. Thejr have
faults that might have harmed them, but did
not; they buttered because they nobly dared to
do right a little sooner than all who have
hitherto acted with them were ready to do it.
They have lost the Legislature they oamo very
near losing their Btate ticket because they
were In advanceof their time."
This is as canting a piece of moral cox
combry as we remember to have seen. Did
any Republican leader or journal in Ohio
nay, did the Tribune itself entertain the
slightest doubt, when the Ohio Legislature
decided to submit the negro suffrage amend
ment, last winter, that it would bo ratified;by
a large majority ? It is necessary to bear in
mind that the great reaction had not then set
in, and there were no signs of its approach.
California and Maine had not spoken; Con
necticut had not been redeemed; Congress, in
the fullness of its influence, was concocting
the Reconstruction scheme; the elections of the
preceding autumn had all been carried by the
Republicans, and carried in Ohio by a majority
of 43,000, which was a large gain on their
majority the preceding year. In view of
these circumstances, it is paltry and pitiful
for the Tribune to say, as it does, that
"they deliberately chose to be right rather
than safe." They had the fullest confidence
that they were Bafe; a confidence that seemed,
at that time, to have a solid basis. After tho
negro suffrage amendment had passed the
Legislature, the party had no further control
over it. They could not have withdrawn it as
an itsue in this election, if they had been ever
so much inclined. What could be more ab
surd and pharisaio than to assume the credit
of a voluntary sacrifice to principle iu present
ing an issue which the Republican State Con
vention had no power to avoid? It was the Con
stitution of Ohio, not the Republican party,
that n quired a vote to be taken on the suf
frage amendment in this election, after it had
passed the preceding Legislature. And yet .
the 1'ribune cries it up as an act of sublime
self sacrifice almost akin to voluntary martyr

country have ignored and denied to exist up

symptoms of the reaction existed last winter,
clear enough to convince the Ohio Legislature
eight months in advance of the facts, while all
other Republicans yield with difficulty to the
evidence of the tacts themselves. But this
wonderful foresight is implied in the Tribune's
claim of self-sacrificing political virtue; for if
they saw no danger, they of course ran no
voluntary risk.
In good truth, bo far from its being any
merit in the Republican party to have sub
mitted the negro suffrage question oywhere,
it is an indelible disgrace to them that they
did not submit it everywhere. Negro suffrage
is the hinge of the whole Republican policy; it
is what they most value in the Reconstruction
laws; it is the vital breath of the party. It is
a gross absurdity and a monstrous injustice to
force this measure upon the South where
negroes are numerous, and refuse it at home
where they are few, and its adoption would be
comparatively harmless. . If my family insists
that, for my neighbor's good, to disinfect his
house and purify the air of the neighborhood,
they will explode a ton of gunpowder in his
dwelling, it does not become them to run
screaming about the room when it is proposed
to explode a few thimblefuls to perfume their
own home. The rejection of negro suffrage in
the North is a virtual renunciation of the
principle, and exposes the attempt to forc9 it
on the South as apiece of hypocritical tyranny.
The Tribune finds satisfaction in the fact
that so large a portion of its party voted for
negro suffrage in Ohio. Will it give us some
good reason why it should not be satisfied with
a hope of the future adoption of negro suffrage
at some distant day in the South, aa well as
with a distant iiope in tne INortn r
