of deserved national reputation. Nor is this
all we know about him. lie 1ms lioen nomi
nated ly the Democrats of Ohio to lie their
Governor, and it is more than prolmble that
lie will lie elected. Furthermore, this same
George II. Pendleton was a nieuilier of the
Thirty-fifth, Tliiity-sixlh, Thirty-seventh
mid Thirty-eighth Congresses, and in Jan
nary of the yenr of our liord 1 s c I nppimed
With marked ahilily and perfect steadfastness,
from its first introduction to its final passage,
the utterly uneonstitutional Treasury-note
bill, or Legal-tender act, with which Kadical
legislators cursed the country, prolonged the
war, and now perpetuate and multiply tho
people's Kutl'erings.
Mr. l'endleton denounced tho bill for the
unprecedented, unconstitutional, and out
rageous usurpation that it was and is. for the
blundering and contract-destroying thing that
it was and is. and has been proved to lie. lie
showed that such a law had neverbeen passed,
never voted on, never proposed, never in
troduced, never recommended by any depart
ment of tho Government, never seriously
entertained in debate iu either branch of
Congress.
lie forecast and port rayed tho eonfusioifthat
the Legal-tender act would bring upon' the
business of the country, impairing tho obliga
tion of contracts, unsettling values, and pro
longing tho war; and so keen was his sense
of all these cidaniities, which are now of our
Listory or of our present experience, that he
used such languago in his speech of January
2!t as this:
"I believe that this (iovernment lias reached a
crisis In Its history. l!y wisdom it tnav overcome!
the evils of secession; by Its jrreat powers and re
sources it may be able to ilefeml itself asalust those
in arms ngaiiiHt It ; but 1 lirmly believe It cannot
maintain Itself against the shock of the accumulated
and manifold dangers which follow inevitably
closely in the wake of an illegal, unsound, and de
preciated Government paper currency."
Mr. Pendleton recited the history of tho
paper money of the Confederation and the
calamities it wrought the history of the Con
stitutional Convention and the debate therein,
which resulted in the deuial to Congress of
the power to make paper money a legal
tender. He repeated the emphatic language
of Webster and indorsed it, saying:
"Congress can alone coin money. Congress can
alone tlx the value of loreign coin. No stale can
coin money. No State can tlx the value
of foreign coin. No State, not even Congress
itself, can make anythinga tender but gold
and silver, In payment of debts. Gold and silver, at
rates fixed by Congress, constitute the legal stan
dard of value in this country ; neither Congress nor
any State has authority ta establish any other stan
dard or to displace this."
He repeated and endorsed the emphatic
language of Calhoun to tho same effect. Nor
was this all. He then showed that, as the
price of bonds in the money markets then
was, the legal-tenders would operate n practi
cal confiscation:
"What are these bonds worth to-day ? The quo
tations of last week were never higher than ninety
cents. Y'et you propose to send out these notes as a
legal tender, stamped as they are here to-day, at a
value of ninety cents in the dollar. You compel
every man to whom IHmOare due to take in satlslac
tion of his claim that which Is only worth f '.mil. You
conllscate, wickedly and unnecessarily, one-tenth
even at the present rate of all the indebtedness of
the country. Sir, it is a monstrous proposition,
which I hope will not be tolerated by this House."
The decision of the Supreme Court has
ameliorated some of the evils here portayed
as to debts incurred before the passage of the
bill, but the sentence shows that their in
evitable depreciation and their essentially
vicious character were equally clear to his
mind.
Mr. Pendleton went further. Ho denied
the power of the Government to emit the
currency notes, whether they were nude
legal-tender or not. He cited the clause of tho
Constitution expressly withholdfug from Con
gress the power to '"emit bills of credit." He
cited the decision of Chief-Justice Marshall
defining "bills of credit" as a "paper medium
intended to circulate between individuals,
and between Government and individuals, for
the ordinary purposes of society" distin
guished, of course, from mere notes issued
as evidence of indebtedness.
Having disposed thus of the lawlessness of
the Legal-tender act, Mr. Pendleton went on
to portray its consummate folly as a measure
of finance or political economy. Said he:
"There is no time when the faith of the Govern
ment is pledged to their payment. The wit of man
has never discovered a means by which paper cur
rency can be kept at par value, except by its speedy,
cheap, certain convertibility into gold and silver.
Unless convertible, they have ulwuys depreciated,
they always will depreciate ; they ought to depreciate,
because they are only valuable as the representa
tives of gold and silver. You send these notes
out into the world stamped with Irredeem
ability. You put on them the mark of
Cain, and, like ( uin, they will go forth to
be vagabonds ami lugitlv'es upon the earth.
What, then, will be the consequence? The
currency will be expanded ; prices will be Inflated;
fixed values will depreciate; incomes will bo dimin
ished; the savings of the poor will vanish, the hoard
ings of the widow will melt away; bonds, mort
gages, and notes, everything of tlxed value, will lose
' their value; everythiug of changeable vaiue will be
appreciated ; the necessaries of life will rise in value ;
the (iovernment will pay t wo-lold certainly largely
moiethau it ought lor everything that It gous into
the market to buy; gold mid silver will be driven
out of the country. Wnat then? The day of reck
oning must come Contraction will follow. I'rlvate
ruin uud public bankruptcy, either with or without
repudiation, will inevitably follow."
And then, as if his own eloquence upon the
matter was not enough, he read to the ears
that refused to hear tho weighty words of
Webster in that noble ami well-known passage
where he denounces what wo are experiencing
a disordered currency as one of the great
est of political evils:
"Of all contrivances for cheating the laboring
classes of mankind, none has been more eilectual
Hum that which deluded them with paper money.
ordinary tyranny, oppression, excessive taxation
iiiev iieur ilirhtlv on the happiness of the mass of the
ciiiniiniiiitv compared Willi fraudulent currencies
and the robberies committed by depreciated paper.
Mr. l'endleton closed his speech with this
passage:
"No nation had a belter currency than the United
States. There was no nation which had guarded its
currency with more care, lor the framcrs of the
Constitution and those who had enacted the early
tiitnti'H on the subject were hard-money men. Let
gentlemen heed this lesson ol wisdom."
Moreover, at a later period in this debate,
Mr. l'endleton endeavored to protect our
Holdiers and sailors from the general curse,
l.w nfVerinrr an amendment itrovielinsr that
ihov lie naid in tho letral coin of the country,
Of course, it was defeated by tho Republican
maioritv.
If, therefore, there is one Democrat more
itinif another wno, as a statesman auu
political economist, is pledged, as his party
L TilniVrod. to restore "specie payments,' and
to make a himl-nioney currency tho solo legal
tender, into whieli all tonus oi paper cur

man; ami wo full to bee wliftt hia ojnuiou ou

'111F.SPANISH MONARCHY IN PROSPECT
From, the .V. r. Herahi.
The Cortes of Spain w ill take up shortly the
question of n monarchy for the country and
who is to be chosen king. There has been a
great deal of speculation, and. to use a Cali
fornia mining term, a great deal of prospect
ing round tor n suitable man to wear the
Spanish crown. There has been, too, no
little difficulty among the different political
factions in settling upon the form of govern
ment and the candidature of (he aspirants to
the throne. The Duke of Moiitpemier, tho
King of Portugal, the Prince of Asturias, a
number of the Italian d nasty, and others
have been named: and now, as the time ap
proaches for a decision, the name of Prince
Napoleon has been suddenly mentioned. Alto
gether it is a very complicated mntter, and.
from present appearance, v ill not be easily
settled.
Considering the dillieulHos of the question,
find bringing Prince Napoleon forward as a
candidate at the eleventh hour, it seems not
improbable that the I'.mperor Louis Napoleon
and the rest of the lionaparte family may be
at work to secure the prize of Spanish royally.
General Prim's prolonged visit to Paris may
be connected with such a movement. We
know that the Lmperor Napoleon works in
such a silent and apparently undemonstrative
manner whenever he has a great object to
accomplish. We are aware also, that under
cover of seeming indifference and noninter
vention, ho is deeply interested iu the result
of the revolution in Spain. And in view of
the relations of Spain with Franco, their con
tiguity, and the vast power of Napoleon iu the
n it' airs of the nations of Southern Europe, it is
not likely that the Spanish Regency would take
such an important step as the choice of n
monarch without consulting tho wishes of thu
Emperor. Of course he would rather see his
cousin King of Spain than any other man. Ho
has the same ambition as his uncle, Napoleon
the First, and copies him as closely as pos
sible under the circumstances of the times in
Lis policy. Then, a Ponaparte on the throne
of Spain would tend to strengthen his own
dynasty in France, and considering ho is at
times in precarious health, and may not live
long, it is of the utmost importance to fortify
the position of his successor, the Prince Im
perial, by all the means iu his power. Tho
Empress Eugenie, too, who is a Spaniard, and
very popular, would use her influence, no
doubt, to have Prince Napoleon chosen King
of Spain. Resides, Prince Napoleon is known
to bo an able man. and as having those liberal
or democratic tendencies which would suit the
Spanish people. He has studied Spain
thoroughly nud is one of the best Spanish
scholars in Europe. Then, he is the son-in-law
of the King of Italy, which would bring
to his support the influence of the Italian
kingdom. By Prince Napoleon's election to
the throne of Spain the Emperor Napoleon's
views of consolidating or uniting the
Latin race and extending its power would
be promoted, and to bring that about, we
know, is a cherished object of his Imperial
Majesty. Looking at this matter, then, in
all its features, we think it not improbable
that Prince Napoleon may be the future King
of Spain.
As far as we are concerned it may make
little difference who is to be King of Spain, if
a monarchy be inevitable, except as regards
the question of Cuba. On that, however, it
may be of some importance. Prince Napo
leon, it is believed, has broad nnd liberal
views, and is friendly to the United States. He
might, therefore, see the difficulty of holding
Cuba as a Spanish colony, and gracefully
yield to the demand for Cuban independence
or annexation to this country. He might be
governed by as liberal ideas as his uncle
Napoleon was when he sold Louisiana to the
United States. Rut we think that whatever
his ideas might be, he would not consent at the
very commencement of his reign to the dis
memberment of the empire of Spain. It would
be too hazardous, and subject him at the be
ginning to violent attacks. Nor do we imagine
his cousin, the Emperor of the French, under
whose influence he would necessarily be, has
any such good feeling towards this country or
republican uoveinment as to consent to the
Independence or annexation ot (Juba. Indeed,
it is doubtful whether any other man, if elected
Kino ol Spam would venture to part witli
Cuba unless compelled by the inexorable fiat
of war. Whatever eff orts this country may
make in behalf of the Cubans or for the acqui
sition of the island should be made, therefore,
during the government of tho regency.
Serious complications might arise alter the
monarchy is established. Nowis the time to act.
U he regency, w hich is about to expire, can
afford to dispose ot the Cuban question on
broad and liberal principles and according to
the wishes of the United States, without fear
of anv political consequences to its members.
Wc tell our Government, consequently, that
now is the time to settle tho ouestiou of
Cuba, either by negotiation with Spain or by
recognizing the independence of the Cubans,
for it it should not act thus, dangerous com
plications may arise under the future Spanish
monarchy, and this great republic maybe hu
miliated in the eyes of the world, or plunged
into war.
WHAT WILL NOT CHEAPEN COAL.
From the -V. 1', Sun.
Certain interested parties are busily at work
trying to produce the impression on the pub
lic mind that the cause of the present high
price of anthracite is the duty of 1,L'" per
ton, in gold, laid upon imported coal. Only
take the duty off, they say, and the price will
come down at least per ton. Remove the
barrier created by the tariff, and coal will
come rushing in from abroad, in such quan
tities as to tlood the market, and make a glut
where there is now u scarcity. More arrant
falsehood and nonsense were never uttered.
The only available source of a supply of
foreign coal is Nova Scotia. England and
Wales are so far off that were there no duty
their coals could not be sold here by the
cargo at less than fourteen dollars per ton, and
importations from other parts of Europe are
practically inipos-iblc. Nova Scotia being
comparatively near, coal can be and is now
brought from there and sold here, at a profit
over duty aud all expenses, at 7'2"i per ton
by the cargo.
UjWliy not. then, repeal the duty, and let in
Nova Scotia coal free? Simply because it
would deprive the revenue of half a million
of dollars a year, without reducing tho price
of American coal a single cent. Tho total
amount of coal mined annually in this coun
try is !'.. (Mio.ooii tous, while the total produc
tion of Nova Scotia has never much exceeded
; 10,000 tons, and is now less than lioo.oon
tons. How absurd to suppose that this little
drop in the ocean is going to appreciably
affect tho level of prices !
Rut, more than this, thefsova fccotia coal,
although it is indeed capable of being used as
fuel, is not so used, and does not therefore
come into any real competition with the
American article. Tar nud oil can le used
as fuel also; but does anybody suppose that
an increase in the supply of those substances
would affect the coal market? Nova Scotia
coal is nothing more nor less than a raw
material lor the manutacture ot gas. Hie gis
companies are the chief consumers of it, and
they and the Nova Scotia miners and a lew
iron makers in New England are tho only
ones who would profit by the remission of the
dutv.
Of course, the miners and dealers in Nova
Scotia coal insist that their coal is the best in
the world for everv purpose to which coal can
he applied. In refutation of their assertions.
it is only necessary to remark that the lale
Sir Edward Cunard, although agent for sev eral
Neva Scotia coal mines would never furnish
the steamers of the Cunard lino with
them, buying American coal from the
Cumberland region in preference. Cumber
land coal. too. is at this moment sent all the
vnvfrom Maryland to Montreal, because it
can be used for genera' ing steam to so much
better advantage than that from Nova
Scotia. As to domestic consumption, no
housekeeper who has otieo burned a bushel
of Nova Scotia coal ever wants to burn
another. What is conclusive evidence on
this point is the fact that, in spite of the
scarcity, coal from Nova Scotia still sells here
for only 7'J. per ton, while anthracite
briiH's s-7.".
The truth is that Pennsylvania has a natural
monopoly of anthracite, and her miners ami
ilroad managers are profiting by it. We
see no way oi tnwaruug mem out oy reiusing
to buy of them at the exorbitant prices they
ire now getting: but so long as we limit our
selves to the threat to let in Nwvn Scotia coal
duty free, they will only laugh at us.
NATIONAL HERTS A CONTRAST.
i'rom (lie A. 1'. Tiwfx.
England begins to doubt the divine wisdom
of permanent indebtedness. There, if any
where, the axiomatic saying, "a national debt
is a national blessing," has been received
with unquestioning credulity. Rut it is or
thodox no longer. Even Chancellors of tho
Exchequer deem it their duty to talk of debt
reduction as a desirable thing; and to point
complacently to what has already been done
in regard to it. And plain business men
whom reform measures have introduced into
Parliament actually complain that tho work
does not move fast "enough, contrasting its
tedious slowness with the rapid progress of a
similar work in t lie I tilted Stales.
It must be confessed that the contrast is
striking. For ten years successive English
Ministers hnve taken credit for diminishing
the debt, and the aggregate result was the
other dav communicated to the House of Com
mons by Mr. Lowe. Iu tho ten years from
March, l'-OS. to March, 1H!S. he declares that
the extent of the reduction has been "no loss
a sum than .:,,. r.i.ooo. say ?ls;.,(H:i,
gold an average of lo.TSi'.O'M), or !sis,:!0t,-
a year. Mr. Lowe pronounces this "pro
gress m the right direction, and such it
undoubtedly is. Rut it is progression at
snail's pace.
Look now at the I mted States. Tho maxi
mum of tho debt, after the close of the war,
on the :) 1st of August. 1S(I.". stood at """,-
i .".71. On the ;!lst of July, lsii'.i, or one
month less than four years, a reduction had
been effected amounting to l!i,02!i,4:5S an
average of Mil'. :.'." 7. H.V.i per year, or consider
ably more than thrice the rate of reduction
achieved by England. And tho process goes
on in a greatly increased ratio. Since tho Ith
of March last, a little more than live months,
the reduction has been I". S'.bi, .Vj.'i, or nearly
one-fourth of the total reduction effected by
England in ten years !
The relative circumstances of the two coun
tries at the periods to which these reductions
respectively refer, add in other respects to
the force of the comparison. England com
menced the work with many advantages on
its side. Prolonged peace had imparted
smoothness to tho working of its finances.
Its tiscal system had been rendered more pro
ductive and at the same time less burden
some. There have undoubtedly been dis
turbing elements during tho term to which
Mr. Lowe's statement refers, but tho
average aspect of the time has not been un
favorable. On the other hand, this country
had just emerged from a gigantic and ex
haustive war. Its choicest territory had been
rendered unpr .active. Its industrial system
was disorganized. Its finances wero chaotic
and unsatisfactory. Its taxation was clumsy
and oppressive. Its business suffered all tho
penalties of rashness and uncertainty, engen
dered by an inthtted and inconvertible cur
rency. Tho large reduction to which we point
has, therefore, been accomplished under no
ordinary difficulties. Its rapidity and amount
justify not a little national exultation.
ALASKA.
From the Chirajo Punt.
The more the American people shall learn
about Alaska the more they will love it. They
already knew that the variety of that country,
the versatility of Alaskan talents, so to say,
was uncommonly line. It is within the fresh
recollection of all our intelligent people with
what sensations of pleasure they heard of tho
various remarkable facts in relation to this
remarkable country how it produced not
oiilygreat quantities of icebergs, and furs, and
cold snaps, tho lurs being made on purpose
lor the cold Mums, and the cold snaps on pur
pose for the furs, but that the spriug of tho
year and the summer were delight ul in
Alaska, producing strawberries and cream,
sweet potatoes, fillets of beef with mushrooms,
ready-made omelets, and ten thousand other
delicacies, besides furred seals in tho greatest
abundance and the greatest variety. Every
body saw that the purchase ot Alaska (Robert
J. Walker and some other fellows inclusive)
was dirt cheap at 7, '-'00, 000, gold coin; that
we had chiseled, not to say cornered, the C.ar
ot all the litissias in the handsomest manner.
We are very much afraid "old Pap Thomas"
is going to ruin all this lino Alaskan picture !
The latest batch of intelligence thence indi
cates no less. General Thomas does not think
the large military force in Alaska is of much
account, lb- says it "produces little or no
result except chronic rheumatism, which
spoils, in a single year, two-thirds of the
troops unfortunate enough to bo stationed in
that land of fogs and chills." This will never
do ! Old Pap Thomas must bo recalled from
the Pacific slope. Failing in that, the Govern
ment must send the Arkansas Hot Springs
right off' to Alaska! Alaska producing, after
all, nothing but chronic rheumatism! We
fear there has been some lying done on this
subject by somebody or other.
