THE J) YE ON SCANDAL.
Habriy.t Bkecheb Stowe's attack on the
memory of Lord Byron continues to be a
fruitful theme for newspaper comment. It
is the great literary sensation of the clay, and
shows that indecency and BUatnelessless can
be made as profitable to magazine and book
publishers as to stage-managers. The true
friends of the authoress of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" deploro the prostitution of her talent
to so foul a purpose; but this sacrifice of hor
fair fame adds to the excitement of the hour,
on the principle that a Ristori, as the heroine
of a nude drama, would draw even laryar
audiences than a Menken.
The excuses which Mrs. Stowe gives for hot
shocking disclosures are so transparent, and
her statements are so loose or absolutely false,
i hat it would be an insult to her intelligence
to suppose that she really had any higher ob
ject thau that of the razor strop man to
make an article that would sell. In this aim
she has succeeded beyond her most sanguine
expectations, but only by a loss in solid repu
tation, and in the esteem of all whose good
opinion is worth having, for which unenviable
notoriety is but a paltry compensation.
Mrs. Stowe does not even pretend that sho
was authorized or requested by Lady Byron
to publish the shameful story to the world.
She was only consulted in regard to the pro
priety of its publication, for the purpose of
counteracting the effects of a cheap edition
of Lord Byron's works; and according to her
own showing she advised Lady Byron to
'ieave the truth to be disclosed after her
death," recommending that "all the facts
necessary should be put in the hands of some
person to be so published." Lady Byron, on
second thoughts, and acting under wiser coun
sels, decided not to inflict this posthuiuuous
stab on the memory of her husband, and if
Harriet Beecher Stowe was a woman of proper
feeling, or uncontaminated by an ineffably
disgraceful itching for notoriety at any cost,
she would never have kicked the dead lion.
Feeling that she must find an excuse for
her article, she gives it in the allegation that
it is necessary or desirable to refute the "slan
ders of the Countess Guiccioli's book;" that
is to say, because the Countess calls Byron's
wife a cold and correct woman, as all the
world has called her for the last half century,
shemeanwhileconsideringthischaracterization
as a compliment rather than an imputation.
Mrs. Stowe must now rush into print, with a
revolting charge against the dead poet, which
she received under the seal of confidence,
and which she herself said should not be pub
lished unless by proper authority, and unless
it was fully substantiated by all the necessary
facts.
The late publication is not only condemned
by Mrs. Stowe's own theories, but with almost
unbroken unanimity by the American press.
She has not only done a bad thing, but she
has executed her infamous task in a lun"iin"
manner, and managed to crowd into her state
ment so many inaccuracies and fulse deduc
tions that she throws discredit upon her entire
story.
The accusation rests exclusively on the alle
gation that Lady Byron believed her husband
to have been guilty of incest. It is part of
the same story that at or about the same
time Lady Byron believed him to be mad.
Events proved her to be mistaken in the lat
ter charge, and if she was capable of an error
on this point, why not on the other 't It is
unsafe to give full credence to any statement
of either of the parties to a matrimonial sepa
ration or a divorce suit, especially when the
"green-eyed monster" construes "trifles light
ns air" into "confirmation strong as proofs of
holy writ," and lords and ladies are
as prone to error on such subjects as the
plainest of plebeians. Byron himself has told us
that his wife tried to prove him to be "mad,"
but failing in this, sought justification for
her desertion in the belief that he was "bad."
To give the keenest possible edge to this
charge, it was necessary to make hiiw very
Wd; but it has remained for Mrs. Stowe to
dish up, in an ostentatious and offensive man
ner, the worst count in the indictment framed
by the runaway wife.
That Mrs. Stowe has been at no puius to in
vestigate the charge is evident from the ob
vious errors in her article. She has shown
none of the impartiality of the judge, and sh
ims not even displayed the care of a judicious
district attorney, who seeks to know at least
enough of the history of the criminals ho
arraigns to be satisfied that there is a sub
stantial ground lor a prosecution. Of the real
facts of their married litV Khe is deplorably
ignorant, and while the force of her accusation
is broken, if not totally destroyed, by the
misstatements with which it is interwoven, it
is rebutted by the strongest evidence for the
de fense that could well bo presented against
a charge of this nature, viz.:
1. Accordiug to tho staUuvnts of all par
ties concerned, Lady Myron left Lord Myron's
residence at his own request. Mrs. Stowe
herself makes this poiut in a defense of lnr
heroine. If Lady Byron was then fully satis
fied that he was the monster he is now repre
sented to be, acd if that guilt was a full jus
tification for her separation (as Mrs. Stowe
now apparently contends), Lady Byron should
have abandoned her husband voluntarily after
the discovery of his crime.
'1. The daughter of Lord and Lady Byron
was in part named after the offending sister,
Auqusta. Would the wife have consented to
tJiis prpot nation of r fearful reuiombra.aco if
THE DAllif iiiVJSNINO TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY,
she wan fully satisfied of the truthfulness of
her charge ?
8. Lady Byron, after leaving Lord Byr.m,
addressed him long and affectionate letters.
She acknowledges the existence of this cor
respondence, and explains that, in deference
to the advice of the physicians whom she
desired to pronounce him mad, sho avoiled
"all but light and soothing topics." But is
this a sufficient justification, in view of the
new theory which, in her name, is now palmed
upon the world, for her affectionate letter
commencing "Pear duck?" Does she not
show, by the weakness, folly, and inconsis
tency of her own conduct, that her statements
are as unreliable ns those of her American
champion ?
4. Queen Victoria, the very pattern of pro
priety, gave apartments for years, in one of
her palaces, to the vilified sister, and this
would have been almost impossible if Mrs.
Stowe's story was true, although it is recon
cilable with the supposition that the Queen
had heard of the scandid, and being satisfied,
after investigation, of its falsity, that she
gave a home to Byron's sister partly for the
purpose of branding it forever in the eyes of
the British public as the weak invention of
Lady Byron's disordered imagination.
A RESTORATION OF SILVER CUR.
REXCY.
Mrt. William E. Du Bois, Assistant Assayer
of the United States Mint, has published an
essay on the subjects of a revised system of
weights and measures and a restoration of
silver currency. Mr. Du Bois writes with a
thorough knowledge of his subject, and his
views are entitled to a candid consideration.
An international system of weights and mea
sures and an international coinage are be
coming more important every day, and earnest
efforts are being made to bring them
about. Great reforms like these can
not be made in haste, however, and
the very magnitude of the changes in
volved, and the interests that would be af
fected, require that any legislation with regard
to them should be made with deliberation and
caution. The great difficulty in fixing upon
a uniform system of weights and measures is
to persuade each nation to give up the system
to which it is accustomed. No system can be
devised that will not bo open to some objec
tions probably very good objections; but
the only way for an accommodation to be
reached is for each party to be willing to
yield something. The Trench metric system
is the one that has thus far found most favor,
and it has already been adopted by sever.il
nations and very generally by scientific men.
Mr. Du Bois. like most American and English
writers, objects to it strongly, and thinks
that a modification of our own system would
be better. Our standard is an arbitrary one,
and although the French metre professes to
have a scientific value, it is well known to be
quite as arbitrary as our own. The ad
vantages of the French system are many:
it gives us a series of decimal subdivisions,
the most important of which are near enough
to those we have now in use not to cause any
great difficulty; it is uniform for weights and
measures of all kinds, and, what is specially
important in recommending it is, that it has
already come into general use, and that those
who have adopted it would not be likely to
throw it overboard to try something else. The
objections to it are the inconvenience its in
troduction would cause at first and its clumsy
nomenclature. The first of these evils
would of course have to be submitted to, and
the last is one that is not irremediable. We
are confident that if any change is made in
the present English and American systems, it
will be in the adoption of the French; and
the mere fact that it is French will not be as
serious an objection with the people who are
called upon to use it as it appears to bo with
most of the British and American writers on
the subject.
The greater portion of Mr. Du Bois' pam
phlet, however, is devoted to the discussion
of the restoration of silver currency, and his
arguments in favor of the plan which he pro
poses, if not conclusive, are suggestive and
worthy .of investigation. He says:
"What is the proper use and function of silver In
the currency '.'
"Formerly it held the chief place. It was used
not only for making change, but for heavy payment,,
foreign as well as (Ioiiicmuo. In France, the very
word for tuolfcy waa (and is) aryenti and the world
over, Britain excepted, silver was far more em
ployed in currency than gold.
"But as the nations have increased in wealth, ami
as the gold mines have been developed, there is a
growing tendency to make gold the principal en -rency,
and to uho silver only as suosldary, and
chlerly for home transactions, uud at the same time
to give up the attempt to llx a relation between the
two by law. These two facU afford a basis for the
proposition which follows.
"Owing to causes which need not be recited, our
present currency Is entirely in paper bills of credit,
down to the note of ten cents. But the value of that
paper ih ascertained by its market relation to gold
and silver; and the precious metals are thus acknow
ledged to be in fact, as thev tun declared to ho by
law, the lixed and real money. I ndcr favorable
aiibp'ces, gold and legiili.ed paper will draw closer
together, until they hlnill entirely coincide in are
sumption of specie pavmcnts; ultlioiiyli the greater
convenience of paper inuiu-y, and I lie restricted
cpuintity of gold, ill always gne a vastly larger
currency to the former.
"But whatever may lie the present necessity, or
the ever-present, advantag.;, ol using papT money
in largo sums, or even down to one doilar.ihere is no
longer anv reason whv wo should be detuned from
the benelit of silver money for small change. While
all other uatiolis, however poor, or loaded Willi
public debt, enjoy fins heuclit, the I lilted States
of America, with such wealth and territory,
such mines of gold and silver, are using little tuts
of gossamer-paper, soiled, rumpled, ami torn, for
urt y twenty-live, and ten ceuis. Such money Is
unilt. for tlie rough usage of markc.ling, shopping,
and hourly business, stiver, of standard liueuess, is
the very sutMian.-e adapted to nil this place, is in
trinsic, value is au important leatuiv, making u
resneolablo; but tills Is not the chief recommenda
tion It lias all the desirable natural properties;
clean, solid, beautiful, durable, sonorous, neither
hard nor son, easy i win, mr.m.... ........... .......
'The near prospect of the return ol silver coin
would cause public rejoicing. The people would not
inonlre if the piece wero of full intrinsic value.
Thev would have the good sense to know th it, wink
silver la at a premium against pa,ier, the coin iiumi
be reduced ill weight to keep it in circulation. 1 Ho,
would wish It to be reallv standard, that is, li Uie
lenthB Une But if the law makes ihe piece a limited
legal-tender, and at the same time innlis the Issue,
everybody would be satlstiod. And those aro lue
two main principles iI the present plan."
The trouble is that the people would inquire
if the silver coins were of full value. They might
be glad to have the token currency in prefer
ence to paper, but they would never be looked
upon as anything but makeshifts, and when
the paper money was entirely superseded the
difference in value between the gold and sil
ver ciaus would be as great a uumuoo s the
difference between gold and paper money is
now.
So long as the tokens are limited to the
very smallest coins, such as three and five
cent pieces, the evil is not appreciable, and it is
counterbalanced by their utility and conve
nience; but when it coms to the issue of
large pieces we will find ourselves not very
far from where we are now. The experiment
which Mr. Du Bois advocates with consider
able ability, is not novel; it has been
tried many times by nations in pretty
much the same predicament as we are,
and never yet with suocess. The value of
gold and silver is strictly commercial, and
it cannot be regulated by law, and if we
except the very smallest coins, suoh as the
cent, three-cent, and perhaps five-cent piooos,
it is a matter of the first importance,
that no special legislation can overcome,
that the coin of a country should have
a standard and interchangeable value,
otherwise the debased currency becomes
an annoyance and constant source of difficulty
in all mercantile transactions. Mr. Du Bois
states that his plan is not a scheme for de
basing the standard of value, but only to re
store silver upon such a basis, under legal
sanctions, as will enable it to keep its subsi
diary place, whether the chief currency be
paper or gold. To accomplish this ho pro
poses to decrease the value of silver coins
about thirty per cent., and then to regulate
their issue from time to time by legislation,
so that the public will be supplied with just
so much currency ns it needs and no more.
Under those circumstances, it will be impos
sible when gold comes into use again to ex
change four silver quarters for a gold dollar,
just as it is impossible now to do thi
same thing with paper money; and this
difficulty will extend itself through all
the transactions of mercantile and
commercial life. The legal value of those de
preciated coins will be purely fictitious, and,
except in the pleasure that most people feel
in handling what they believe to be silver, we
do not see why the proposed coinage might
not as well be nickel or bronze, with no ap
preciable value at all. There is one substan
tial argument in favor of a depreciation of tho
silver currency, and that is to reduce its value
so much that it will be no object to send it
out of the country or to hoard it. It is
essential that the small silver should be kept
in circulation, and a reasonable depreciation
of value to accomplish this would be opon to
no material objection. Bitt we believe that,
if the plan proposed by Mr, Du Bois were
tried, while it might afford some tempo
porary advantages in the present state of af
fairs, it would, ere many years, be abandoned
in compliance with universal complaint.
In adopting any scheme like this,
which proposes to remedy the difficulties of a
dirty and ragged paper currency, it is neces
sary to consider not merely our present wants
but also those of the future. It is a very
important matter that there should be as little
tampering as possible with the coinage of the
country, and any question of depreciating its
value ought particularly to be carefully con
sidered from all points of view before it is
adopted.
Mr. Du Bois appears to have given tho sub
ject thoughtful attention, but he also seems
to have become strongly biased in favor of a
pet theory, so that he can scarcely look at it
except from one point of view, and we can
not conceive that such a plan as he suggests
will ever meet with favor except perhaps as
an expedient to obviate a greater evil. He
states that he has reason to believe, however,
that his views are acceptable to the officers of
the Mint, and we may 'therefore, wo suppose,
esteem his pamphlet as an official pronuncia
mento from that institution. To illustrate
the proposed plan, the Director of the Mint
has authorized the striking of specimen pieces,
of various devices, which will be ready shortly
for the inspection of those who are curious on
this subject.
The Cuban Question. A Washington des
patch to one of our morning contemporaries
claims to solve the mysteries of American
diplomacy at Madrid. But it is anything save
satisfactory. The propositions said to have
been submitted to the Spanish Government,
in the first instance by Mr. Paul S. Forbes,
and subsequently by General Sickles, were
practically rejected by the substitution of
counter propositions, the character of which
the correspondent has been unable to loam.
They proved unsatisfactory to the Cuban re
presentatives in this country, and another
effort is to bo made to bring the Spanish
Government to tho acceptance of the basis
for the settlement of the Cuban question as
originally proposed. The four points of the
basis are thus set forth, "exactly correct,"
according to the claim of tho correspon
dent: First. Spain to grant independence to Cuba with
out condition.
Second. For Spanish property left in Cuba, Cuba
will Rive indemnity. A mixed commission, com
prising an equal number of Spaniard and Cubans,
and an umpire of their selection, shall determine the
amount of the Indemnity, but under no circum
stances shall tho aggregate amount exceed
;iiiii,iino,oeo.
Third The slaves in Cuba must be emancipated.
Fourth. As soon as these;proposltlons are accepted
hostilities between spuiu and Cuba shall cease, and
the I nlted Stales will guarantee the fulillineut of
thecoutiact by beta parties.
A woman defends female preaching in the
X at ion on a very novel ground. Sho ac
counts for tho preponderance of women in
the membership of the Protestant churches by
(he fact that the preaching is monopolized by
mm, whoso influence with the opposite sex is
greater than with their own. Hence, she
argues that if women were givon a fair show
in the pulpit, they would succeed in attracting
their male admirers into tho fold. This is
basing the claim of woman to a hearing in
the pulpit ou tho true and only substantial
basis. If our churches aro turned into show
houses, with yellow hair and other female ex
crescences as the attractions, the women who
have hitherto predominated in the audience
will be crowded out into the vestibules, and
perchance into the streets, to make room for
the crowds of gaping men who will rush to
boo Liigliali buikoquo di.uiucd iu ioliyiuu.
A Traixr Warning. The World quotes
approvingly some extracts from the Keening
1'ont upon the present status and prospects of
the Republican party in the State of New
York. The Pont alleges that the Republicans
have sustained defeat for two years past in
New York on account of "the nomination of
vicious, weak, and unworthy men to the
Legislature from districts strongly Republi
can," a conrso which has tendod to "degrade
and weaken the party." If defeat overtakes
the Republican party in this city in October
next, it will be mainly in consequence of just
such blunders. Stokes, Davis, Bunn, Adaire,
Cloud, and Hong are just the sort of "vicious,
weak, and unworthy men" through whose
agency the Republicans of New York have
been worsted.
Theodokb Tilton has been turned topsy
turvy by the woman's rights agitation. In a
recent speech he declared that before he died
he wanted to give one arm to Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and the other to Susan B. Anthony,
and in this mutilated condition accompany
them to the polls. As Theodore has but two
arms, the small fry among the female ngitntors
must content themselves with loss desirable
pieces chipped from his mortal coil. George
Francis Train may secure a leg and Miss Anna
E. Dickinson an ear.

Gentlemen: In the year 1856 1 unfortunately was
In business In the Artisan Building, which was de
stroyed by Are on the loth of April. I had then in
use what I supposed was a Fire-Proof Safe, but upoa
opening it I found everything destroyed, and Are
burning therein.
Yon will recollect, gentlemen, there was several
of your Safes in tlmt lire, also several In the lire at
Sixth and Commerce streets, the next May, five
weeks afterwards, all of which upon being opened
proved they were fire-proof Indeed, for I witnessed
the opening of the most of them, and In every case
the contents were preserved, while Safes of other
mukers were partially or entirely destroyed. I at
cuce concluded to have something that I could de
pend upon, and purchased one or your Safes.
The safe I purchased of you at that time was sub
jected to a while heat (which wus witnessed by sev
eral gentlemen that reside in the neighborhood) at
tlie destruction of ray Marble Paper factory, 9i!l
Wallace street, on the afternoon aud evening of the
24th Inst, After digging the safe from the ruins,
and opening it this morning, I was much pleased to
find everything, consisting of liooks, papers, money
ani silverware, all right. I shall waut another of
your safes as soon as I can get a place to continue
niv business in. I could not rest contented with any
other make of safes.
