A Speedt Resumption of Specie Payments
finds no favor with Western Congressmen,
who, as fast as they arrive in Washington, are
reported to pronounce against any and every
Bchenae for premature resumption, with re
markable unanimity. It is also said that the
President has become convinced of the im
practicability of immediate resumption. With
the President and the Secretary of the Trea
sury and the united Western delegation in
Congress on the right track, there is little or
no cause to fear mischievous legislation at
the approaching session of Congross. Many
business interests have already been disas
trously allectod by the unauthorized and un
founded resumption rumors. The stagnation
existing in some directions, the fears of a
crash in others, and the genoral feeling of
doubt and distrust in regard to the future,
may all be traced to this source. The sooner
these doubts are dissipated the better will it
be for all concerned. There is no serious
cause for apprehension, and the only possible
basis for alarm consists in tho fact thut a few
leading men desire to hasten resumption.
They do not, however, wield a controlling in
fluence on this subject, and despite thuir
most vigorous efforts, the period that must
necessarily elapse before specie payments can
be prudently resumed is to be counted by
years rather than by months.
Anotheb bewildering legal warfare, involv
ing the control of the Erie Railway, n being
prosecuted in the Now York city and State
courts. There is even more than the usual
medley of suits and counter-suits, ordors and
counter orders, injunctions and counter
Injunctions, and the real meaning of the
whole struggle is as mysterious as ever.
Whatever be the issue, there is little doubt
that honest stockholders will still be swindled,
and that some of the New York jndges will
be as ready as ever to shield unscrupulous
and swindling speculators.
Following a Bad Example. The example
set by the Rebel members of the Georgia
Legislature has become contagious, and the
radical members of the Alabama Legislature
have set about the task of rooting out their
so-called Democratic colleagues. It is the old
story over again of the chicken and the curse
that came home to roost.
ONB HUNDRED AND TEN APOSTLES OF MOB-
MONism have just been let loose upon the
country by Brigham, Young, and soon the
whole horde will be at their proselyting task.
It is about time that this Mormon iniquity
had received the serious attention of the
country. Congress cannot better employ its
odd moments during the approaching session
than in making an effort to put a quietus on
the polygamous saints.
An instructive lesson in railway manage
ment is afforded by the developments in the
suit now pending in Ohio between the Erie
and Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com
panies. The indebtedness of the latter com
pany is shown to be $SH,37;i,207, only
$30,000,000 of which is credited to the stool;
amount, while it is contended that tha roid
would not sell for $15,000,000, if put into the
market.
NAPOLEON'S DESIRE FOR LlllERTY.
A cable despatch this morning, with that
delightful vagueness for which cable de
spatches are noted, states that it is reported
that the Emperor Napoleon, in giving com
. mands for the preparation of his speech for
the opening of the Chambers, said: "I de
Sire the widest and most absolute affirmation
of liberty." It is very probable that Napo
leon said this or something resembling it, for
it sounds like him. He has never hesitated
to affirm the most liberal principles ever
Since the coup d'etat by which he obtained
possession of the throne, but unfortunately
bis principles and his practices have
generally been directly opposed to
each other. It is evident, however,
that the situation of affairs is such at the pre
sent time that he sees the absolute necessity
for yielding something, or at least for ap
pearing to yield to the liberal ideas of the
age. He is still stronger than his opponents,
but with the example of some of his prede
cessors before him, he is probably shrewd
enough to see that the time has come when it
is necessary to relax a little the despotism of
Lis system if he expects to retain his hold of
power for the balance of his life, or to give
L'fl sou even a reasonable chance
to suoceed him. The French people are
not io be relied upon, especially by a man
who has piajed the tyrant, and any untoward
accident may precipitate a collision betweon
the people and the Government, and unite
all the now disorganized factions of the oppo
sition for the overthrow of the empire. A
mere affirmation of the widest and most ab
solute liberty, however, will not be enough
of itself, and the recent performances of the
Emperor, such as the postponement of the
constitutional day of assemblage of the Corps
Legislatif, are not calculated to inspire much
confidence in his professions.
TIIE COAL QUESTION.
At the last monthly trade sales of coal by the
Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Rail
road Company, whioh occurred on the 21th
Last., there was a decline in prices, as com
pared with the sales of October 27, which
averaged more than one dollar a ton on the
various qualities, ajyKprioopaid for the
We
TUB DAIIiV" liVHNINO llXl'XnU'lI-I'JllbAOm-iUA, BATUKDA-g,
see no good reason why Philadelphia pur
chasers should not enjoy the benefits of a
similar decline. It appears by the reports of
the Reading Railroad that it brought to mar
ket, np to the 2.rth Inst., more than 600,000
tons in exooss of the amount transported
during the same period last year; and al
though the Schuylkill Canal transported
300,000 tons less in 1803 than in 1808, there
is still an aggregate increase from the Schuyl
kill region of more than 300,000 tons. The
operators and retail dealers can best explain
why higher prices should be demanded here
than in New York, but it seems evident that
extortionate rates can only be maintained
here, if at all, by artificial and oppressive
combinations.
Bradwell and Brioiiam. "Judge" Brad
well, who hails from Chicago, and whose
sole claim to notice appears to be founded on
the fact that he is the wife we Bhould, per
haps, have said the husband of Mrs. Brad
well, has been so completely befogged by the
old lodios that he has gone over to the enemy.
In a speech delivered at the Female Suffrage
Convention now in session at Cleveland, ho
said that "he felt like taking to his arms
everybody who had fought under this ban
ner" that is to Bay, the woman's banner
and Mrs. Bradwell, who does not permit the
"Judge" to go out of her sight, sat by without
rebuking the utterance of such polygamous
Bentiments. There are a few of the female
oracles which we would advise the "Judge" to
keep at a distance, Lucy Stone and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, and some others who are
already wedded and contrive to keep their
husbands in leading strings. Since they
manage one husband so readily, the chances
are that they would be equally successful in
manipulating a brace of Buch trivial append
ages. But with Susan B. Anthony and Anna
Elizabeth Diokinson and some others whom
we might mention if we had the ' time, the
case is vastly different. Tho "Judge" is at
liberty to take the whole crowd "to his arms,"
and if he is satisfied with his bargain, ho will
doubtless find thorn even more than content
with the arrangement.
Horace Okeki.kv, although srrcut as n philosopher,
Is not much as a penman. In sliort, he writes about
the most execrable lmnil that was ever written by
mortal man, not even excepting the late Ruftis
Choate, whose writing neither himself nor tho Evil
One could decipher. Two or three good anecdotes
concerning the philosopher's chlronrrnphy, which we
have not seen in print, arc told by Tribune men. On
one occasion the great editorial genius wrote tho
words, "Save your money and buy land," and when
the compositor, whs had been familiar with the
peculiar scratches of the philosopher from early
youth, had puzzled himself over It for a half-hour or
so, he made It out to be "Save your money, Benjamin
Wood," and, to Greeley's indignation, thus Bet It up.
On another occasion the philosopher indulged In the
familiar Shakespearian quotation, "Tis true, 'tis
pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true." I'.ut, as Horace seldom
quotes poetry, and seldom writes an article without
dabbling more or less In figures, the anxious type
setter interpreted the quotation in this wise, " 'Tis
two, 'tis fifty; 'tis two, 'tis tlfty-two!" The philo
sopher, on this occasion, indulged in a little pro
fanlty when he received his proof.
