First, who will bo liencGtoil ly this do clino ? We do not moan tlm decline of ono or two per cent, within the Inst few d.iys but the very considerable doolitie ii the price of pold which hM been Bto.vlily going on dining the Inst fonr or five month. To whose ad vantage will it innre ? Chiefly, almost solely, the purchasers au J consumers of imported good. The pricos of our donaestio produc tion", are not meaured by gold, and have not Iteen ainoe gold waa demonetized by the pas sage of the Lgal-tendcr act. Somo gold is purchased an a commodity and used in the arts by Jewellers and others; but, aside from Bnch iwes, our only employment for gold is in the purchase of foreign goods and payment of the duties exacted by the Government on their importation. Unfortunately, the decline 3n gold will be attended by very slight reduc tions in the prices of imported commodities. It is not so mnch the premium on gold as oar exorbitant tariff, that renders foreign goods no bigh; and as the tariff is not reduced, con-nnnif-rs find that the steady fall in gold makes little difference at the retail stores. The ope ration of the tariff in keeping np prices may he clearly illustrated by an example. A piece of cloth which costs one dollar a yard in gold would have reached the consumer burdened with the following enhancements when the price of gold was 130: original cost por yard I1-00 ;Uut; at the C'utttora limine 60 ltemluni on cost and duty o 11-95 Merchant's profit at 80 per cent .. 6S Trice to the consumer $2-53 With gold at 11C the calculation would be as follows: Original cost per yard $1"00 Duty at the Custom House M Gold premium on both 21 11-74 Merchant! pront at 80 per cent 54 Trice to the consumer f 2-iO It appears by this comparison that if the price of gold should remain at 110 until there is time for the exhaustion of present stocks and fresh importations of foreign goods, consumers would be benefited only to the extent of buying for if 225 goods for which they paid $2'f0 when gold was selling at I'M. Jint if the duty were abolished, the same goods would cost the consumer only $r."0. The reduction of the premium on gold does sot justify mnch congratulation so long as a iiigh tariff intercepts and neutralizes the practical benefit that would otherwise result to the consumers of imported goods. The decline in gold reilects no credit on the course and policy of the Government, for it has taken place contrary to the expecta tion of the Government and without its agency. When, a few months ago, Mr. Bout well refused bids for gold which, as now appears, it would have been highly advan tageous to the Government to accept, he had Bo foresight of what was coming. Neither Congress nor the Treasury Department have done anything to bring this redaction. There lias been no change in the Banking law, no withdrawal and cancellation of greenbacks, Ho alteration in the funding system, no modi fication of the tariff; nothing, in short, has 2een done either by the legislative or the executive department to improve the credit of the nation or lower the price of gold. Mr. lloutwell's nanecrvrists will refer us to his gold sales: but those soles merely released a surplus which was accumulating by the ope lation of an absurd tariff. The tariff, by locking up gold in the Treasury, tends to xuake it senroe and enhance its price; and Mr. Bontwell's Bales partially undid this par ticular mischief. But they have had little influence in bringing the price of gold down to its present figure. The most important cause of the reduction Ss one with which the Government has had nothing to do, as it has no control over the "weather and the seasons. The decline ia gold lias resulted from several causes, of which the most important is the abundonoe of the cot ton crop. Our chief use for gold is in the purchase of foreign commodities, and cotton toeing as good for this purpose as gold itself, an abnndunt cotton crop dispenses with an equivalent value of gold for the purpose of foreign commerce. According to the most zecent estimates, the cotton crop of the last year does not fall short of three million bales; and, as the price is double, this crop is equal in value to six million bales previous to the war. We have accordingly, at present, little use for gold except for the payment of du ties at the custom house. The supply is in excess of the demand, and, as a necessary consequence, the price falls. It would be absurd to attribute this result to the policy of the Government. The abundance of tho cotton crop has operated in another manner. It has carried into the South large sums of money of which only a port has been returned. Three mil lion bales of cotton, at present prices, are worth about $'j.'0,niO,Mio. The planters re serve out of their proceeds the money they will need for tillage, wage, and family ex penses until the next crop is brought to market; and the deficiency of banks in that Bection causes much of this money to bo locked np in private safes and dusks, thus withdrawing it from circulation and practi cally diminishing the volume of the currency. The effect is, so far as it goes, to lessen the disparity between the value of gold and the Value of greenbacks. Another cause wAUch is slowly operating to reduce the price ef gold is the steady appre ciation of Government bonds. Our war fronds have always been selling at a great deal lass than their real valn, in consequence of a prodigious glut of the taarket. While the war lasted, and bonds contained to be issued in large quantities, they were bought Juy speculators with a view to future profits, and their holders have ever since been crowd ing them upon the market as fust ax it wonld receive them. The lame of five Tears tunoe the close of the war is perceptibly re lieving the glut, and, as a natural couse qnenoe, the price of Government bonds is slowly but steadily rising a result for which the administration is entitled to no more credit than it Is for ebb and flow of the tides or the changes of the seasons. It is mortifying to think that whilo natural causes are doing so much for us, legislation lias as yet done nothing. THE BOYAL SCANDAL. Fran the K. T. World. The testimony of the heir-apparent to tho British throne in the divorce case of Mor daunt vs. Mordaunt is not of the least im portance intrinsically. But the mere fact that it was given is of a very deep signifi cance, i.ngllhn society, whatever may oe thought of its inward purity, has vory rarely preserved a greater semblance of exterior decency than at proscnt. And certainly the noliph court hns never, under any member of the Tudor, the Stuart, or the Brunswiok line, been of better report than during the reign of her present Majesty. It is impossi ble to calculate the conservative effect this simplicity and sobriety of the court have hnd upon the nation. But it is bcyend question that its effect has been great. If, in addition to the spread of demo cratic opinions among the people, ana tne extraordinary burdens they Lave been called on to bear, they had been actuated by any poiTonnlnnimoRity to the reigning monarch OX the reigning dynasty, us elements wnicu now visibly smoulder might long ago have broken out into a consuming flame. Misgov- ernment never so gross has rarely been re sisted, in European existence, by popular outbreaks, nniess tne sovereign, uesiaes Doing tyrannical, had been profligate. One of the surest means towards the overthrow of the British throne would be an universal popular notion that its occupant disgraced it. Such an impression exists witn regard to the probable successor to it; and the rumors of conjugal infidelity which have been so long floating- in innuendo, have now at last taken such tangible shape as to break through the divinity that is supposed to' hadge his high station, and bring him into the witness box to testify to the character of his relations with the wife of an English eentloraan of rank and fortune. Whatever the truth of his statements in that behalf may be and we by no means dispute the truth of them the fact appears from his own published letters, and from the pressure of publio scandal whioh forced him to testify in a trial between two of his future subjects, that his conduct has been of that degree of impradence which is only a shade less black than actual crimi nality. And it is further to be noted that the sentiment of that class whose sentiments the Prince of Wales may fairly be supposed to reflect, would much more readily condone the offense of a man who should perjure him self than the offense of a man who should tell the truth to the betrayal of a woman. The bench was quite "loyal," as might be expected of fallible judges who know from what quarter their preferment is to come. The judge kindly cautioned the Priaoe before the beginning of his evidence that he was not bound to incriminate himself of adultery. This admonition was proper enough, no donbt, but it was curious that it should have been delivered, nniess the judge had reason to suspect that truthful answers might sub ject his Royal Highness to the predicament against which he warned him. And "the bench," we are told, "expressed indignation against the pnblication in the journals of the letters from the Prince to Lady Mordaunt." That pnblication is, indeed, one of the most significant circumstances of the case. George Fourth's profligacies were much more scandalous than the worst of those charged against his grandnephew. Yet neither during his regency nor his reign did they form the topio of anything like so open animadversion, and they were mostly handed down to a pub lishing posterity by tradition. Even the lam poons upon the trial of Queen Caroline, which became a party question, were circu lated in secret and under a "certain terror of the law." But the far lighter offenses alleged of the Prince of Wales in the same kind are visited with prompt publicity, and the criti cism of them seems hardly to bo mitigated at all by the position of the person alleged to be an offender. In fact, scan. mag. is obsolete as a crime, as well legally as socially. And the increas ing boldness of the British press ought to move the heir to the British Crown that, if he wishes to enjoy peaceable possession of it, it behooves him to walk with extreme cir cumspection. PAPAL FINANCE. From the London Spectator. Papal finance has always been a mystery to outsiders, and the tendency among Protest ants has been to consider it a mystery of in iquity. Very grave writers use very hard lunguage about the wickedness of Popes who raised money by soiling offices, though the sale was in fact only a rough and unsoientifio way of borrowing on life annuities, the offices bringing no advantage except an exemption from taxation. More recently it has been declared that the Papacy would collapse for lack of money, that the Popes had a secret treasure, that property belonging to convents all over the world was in course of transmis sion to Home, and that the Papal debt would be repudiated. The truth all the while seems to have been that the revenue of the Human States, aided by the prooeeds of the lottery, was for many years nearly sufficient for the Vatican and the expenses of its very imperfect civil administration. Ab solutism is always cheap, as we saw in Naples under the Bourbons, a celibate priesthood is satisfied with very small salaries, and amid a very corrupt population fees are sure to be heavy, lhe total expenditure on all purposes seems to have been a little in excess of three millions, of which less than one was, as far as we can understand accounts made imperfect by the use of the word "Pensions," expended on tho Papacy itself, tho vast staff that is maintained in the interest of the Catholic Church rather than of the lloman people. The latter were not very severely taxed except indirectly through the discourage ment of enterprise, though the Month talks ecouomio nonsense when it compares their taxation with that of Englishmen, but suffered great injustice in being required to Eay all the expenses of an establishment opt np in theory for the benefit of the whole world. It is true they reoeived some benefit in return from the multitude of pilgrims and visitors drawn to Borne, but that expenditure was chiefly felt within the city itself, which, nevertheless, did not grow rich. From 1815 to 1800, however, the Papal revenne has been nearly sufficient. Any small deficit occurring was made np by a loan at 0 per cent., the interest on which was regularly paid, and by 1.'.!, aays the Month, a Cdtholio magazine which has recently reported the facts, the revenue and expenditure were fairly balanced. The story of an accumulated treasure was, however, a fiction, as was indeed evident from the raising of the loans, and in lWio, after the enfranchisement of two-thirds of the Itoman A. 1 '1 t'.il a . icrmory, ine aucnn iunun iwoij ltj pecu niary straits. True, with the territory, part ot the debt and of the civil expenditure had disappeared, but the huge central organism was rot maintained for Rome, bat for the world, and could not, on the theory of the in. btitution, be materially reduced. The Pope, moreover, nnder an idea which, after every effort to be as fair to him as to any other sovereign, we atill fail to comprehend, thought it necessary to maintain an army of bis own, which costs 000,000 a year, and would not, if Franoe withdrew her troops, keep off invasion for a week. No persuasions, however, could change the tuind of the Vatican on this matter, and within the last month the Pope has declared that be must, like other kings, have soldiers, and recruits are still Arriving from all quar ters of the world. Another .CHl'O.Oim) is watd by unscient ific methods of collection, A'SlMyxio 4s absorbed in paying interest and pensions, '..r0,000 is allowed for the civil service, police, roads, and so on, and X'lIHH.ooo for tno maintenance of the Pope and the establish ment of the Church. The bitter Mini ia d. cidedly small when it is remembered tint out of it the Holy Father has to mniutain the congregations, which are essential to tho Itoman system, a diplomatic service whioh covers the world though this expense is, we believe, lightened by contributions from some of the courts and a court which good policy invests with a peculiar but real stateliness of ceremonial; but the total reaches nearly CI, ."()(), ooo, and the revenue of the State is only XI.mki.O), leaving a deficit of 4:i,.'j()0,()(il) still to bo sup plied. That, we imagine, would bo nearly the sura the papacy would cost if it were de prived of its remaining territories, or reduced to the city of Borne, as the necessity for a diplomatic service, and for tho maintenance of the Curia in all its branchos, wonld not thereby be removed. Pending an arrange ment with Italy, there is no money to meet this deficit, except a voluntary contribution; the' power of raising loans has departed lenders looking to Italy as the ultimate secu rity, and of course preferring nine per cent, to six and but for Teter's pence tho Vatican would be hopelessly embarrassed. This curious contribution will, however, in all probability save it. The Month gives the income from this source at about 400,000 a year; but there could bo little if any difficulty about tripling it, so little that we do not comprehend the alarm of the Catholio organs. There are 30,000,000 of Catho ho households in the world, every one of which is reached by some priest or other, and 3o,uuu,(Ji)u sniuings wouia more man cover the necessities of the Pope. If the Catholic Church, with its wonderful organization, tho only one in the world that really readies down to the very bottom of society, cannot raise a shilling a year from each household for the support of its central machinery, its noia upon mankind must bo ndicu lously overrated. That this is not the case is evident from the fact that there are more bishops of Free than of Stato Churches in the Council, and of these, ono group at least, that which speaks English, has no com plaint to make about want of moans. The Month we are convinced understates its own case when it puts the expenses of the See, apart from the Kingship, at less than 400,000; but still if the truth is three times that, the Papacy can be in no permanent pecuniary difficulty . It has only to recognize the fact that it will not get its territories back, a fact which on many grounds ought to be a source or satisfaction to it, and to organize a con tribution which could under no circumstances be oppressive. It is not more than the raised by a very limited class within single island for missions to the heathen. sum this WEST POINT AND ANNAPOLIS. from the N. T. Times. Once a year it is in order, we believe, for some Congressman to take the floor with a resolution to wipe out West Point and an nihilate the Naval Academy. This year the traditional task has fallen upon a new can didate for such honors Mr. Spencer, of Alabama. What Mr. Spencer proposes, in abolishin the two academies, is to substitute military and naval instruction in various colleges by assignment of officers to duty there, or else to "inaugurate some other system calculated to relieve the Government of a large expense, and enable all who desire it to secure an edu cation for tne army or navy at their own ex pense." With all respect for the author, we conceive this to be the most preposterous proposition ever yet made regarding the Government schools and that is saying a great deal. To begin with, has Mr. Spencer any idea of the enormous number of colleges that would put in claim. for such instruction ? And is he aware of the rivalry and jealousy which would be produced by the rejection of some claims and the acceptance of others ? And does he not see that, even with the arbi trary choice of one in ten among the colleges of tne Union, the expense of maintaining a decent military and naval educational sys tem would be enormously increased I Per haps he does see something of this sort, as his proposition is an alternative one, provid ing for "some other svstem calculated to relieve the Government of a large expense Economy iB always the key-note sannded for a rally against the Government schools; but we beg to know how economy is to be secured by creating six West Points instead of one, and by duplicating Annapolis with half-a-dozen other Naval Academies ? The reply is that this measure would only assign unattached officers to duty. But that is precisely what is done now, and hence the only effect of this so-called "economy" would be to increase the number of unattached officers. The officers and in btructors of the .Naval School are wholly or chiefly officers of the navy; Bnd those of the Military School are in great part officers ef the army. If the proposition le to give more general and popular military instruction, let it be effected by the means in question, in addition to the two schools already in effective operation. But to dostroy what we have got in order to get more, seems to us not economy but extravagance, especially a9 we should render useless two military establishments founded with great cost and care. Congress already has made a law assigning military in. structors to colleges, and retired and unat tached officers have been filling places in sundry institutions in accordance therewith. All this is very well, but it is simply a favor done by the country to the colleges, in wise provision for the future; it is not by such means, however, that a St. Cyr or a Poly- technio is built up. A project to break np and scatter broad cast the two Government schools is like that ignorant policy which in 18G1 proposed to send ten thousand different columns into the enemy's country, and to harass him into sub joction. Dear experience taught ua that con centration, not soattenng, was tne Key to success in campaigning as in everything else. Precisely the same is true with military edu cation. Decentralizing oar resources is de stroying them by frittering them away. No thoroughness, no true teohnioal triumphs, no professional progress could be hoped for by tnia aueuanie style oi military ana navai edu cation. We should get neither sailors, sol diers, nor scholars from our mixed-tip schools. The colleges are already overloaded with the burden of studies thrust into their curriculum, and this new duty would make thoir course of instruction a little of every- thing and nothing of anything. However, it will be time to discuss more fully this Bubieot if it be pressed. We in cline to think it is one of those resolutions regularly put before the Military Committee about the time when the Academy appropri tiona oom up, and which are then usually allowed to rest. .. .. :'. 'i Jvjjovi,, THE REMARKABLE SILENCE OF SIMON CAMERON. f'i i-m the I'tltsbnrfi Commrrriat. We hftvo waited a long time for some re sponse from Senator Cameron to the state ment of lion. A. K. Mcluure, giving the reasons that induced the Senator to withdraw from the Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln in 18i!2. When it is considered that Mr. Cameron, and his friends for him, have declared that this was a most praiseworthy act that it sprang from exalted patriotism nnd unselfish devo tion to country certainly Mr. McClnre s grave and pointed allegations of expulsion merit some recognition from the Senator. It is all a mistake to suppose they can be passed over as unworthy of notice. Neither their cha racter or the character of their author will permit of that. Mr. McClure is woll known to the people ot tne Mate, and is now and Has been for a number of years a reoognized and trusted member and loader of tho Republican party of Pennsylvania. He makes the charges over his own signature from personal know ledge, and challenges denial from General Cameron, either in his place in the Senate or through the press, as the Senator may elect. General (Janieron does not avail himself of either. He permits some of his retainers to sneer at Mr. MoClure'a lelter, but this is as far as ho vontures. It is worth while reca pitulating the main points of the whole matter. For the last eight years it has beon claimed for General Cameron that he alone of Mr. Lincoln's constitutional advisers appreciated tho magnitude of the war as far back as 18G2, or understood the proper way to meet it; and that failing to induce the administration to adopt his decisive policy, he (General Came ron ), first taking good care to secure the ap pointment in bis stead of a reliable and care ful successor, like Mr. Stanton, voluntarily withdrew from the office of Secretary of War. This modest claim not only oovers a reproach on Mr. liincoin, but makes oi i;dwin M. Stan ton a sort of protege or political pupil of Simon Cameron. It has been the "stook in trade," too, of the Cameron 4,ring" in Penn sylvania for years, and has been used to de lude good citizens possessed of a constitu tional distrust of the honesty of that faction and its head. It has also crept into history, and finds a place in a eulogy on Seoretary Stanton, printed in a leading magazine, by Senator vtiison, oi Massachusetts. Certainly, if this theory of the Cameron resignation can be placed beyond aspersion or doubt, it carries with it a degree of honor which any publio man might be excused for coveting. If true, let Senator Cameron have all the glory. If it is simply an impudent expedient to cover an enforced withdrawal from high position a withdrawal made ne cessary by profligate peculations and frauds, committed at a time when the country was bit eding from every artery let the lion's skin be stripped from the fox, and the names of Lincoln and Stanton rescued from an implied stigma, made necessary to bolster the failing fortunes of an lnemcient and corrupt place man, l his is the issue, ihere is no evading it. Air. JUcUiure is neither so low, or Mr, Ctimeron so high, that it can be passed over. Alter making history, as the American people have, during the past ten years, they can cer tainly claim that it shall be rightfully trans mitted to posterity. Jn opposition to the Cameron theory that the Secretary of War withdrew from theCabi net because his far-seeing statesmanship and superior wisdom were not permitted to have full sway in the military and civil conduct of the administration, Mr. Mculure puts the facts in this light: "Mr. Cameron was removed rrom the War De partment by Mr. Lincoln without any previous notice as to the purpose of the President to make the cl'.aiiRe at the time. He never did resign and was not (-ununited uy Mr. Lincoln as to his successor.

Cameron complained or tne manner oi nui removal. 11 la resignation was not requested, nor had it then been given.

Letters were then prepared, giving the dismissal of Mr. Came ron tne appearance or a voluntary ana cordial re tirement from the Cabinet, and Senator Wilson was doubtless misled thereby. If Mr. Cameron 'pro posed to resign,' as Senator Wilson states, I happen to be one of several, at least, who know that it was borne time attr Mr. Stanton had been installed as Secretary of v ar. "Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Stanton are both dead, and It la due to the memory of both that the appoint ment of Mr. Stanton shall not be made to appear fulBdv in history, as having been dictated or sug gested by Mr. Cameron, or Intended to perpetuate his policy.

That demand removed Mr. Cameron, and It was fully met by the appointment of Mr. Htanton." It is entirelv unnecessary that we should canvass the probabilities of the MoClure and Cameron theories of the Cabinet change, for the enlif htenment of the Deople Of Penasvl vania. who possess a pretty thorough know ledge, derived from long experience and suf fering, of the qualities of Ut. Cameron as a nublio man. Nor ia it neoessary to refer to the vote in the House of Representa tives, censuring the corrupt administration of the War Department while uameron was tiecretarv. We repeat the facts in order that they may sink deeper into the hearts of the people; that they may become ingrained in thiir estimate of an influential political power in our own State; and that the names of Lincoln and Stanton may be rescued from the blioht the followers of Cameron cast upon them, in their audacious attempt to make of the disgrace of their principal, a mosi exalted merit. i Senator Cameron declines to faoe the issue that tka adulation of bis friends has raised. He knows best his vulnerable points, and the publio will accept the auenoe as a confession. It is snscemible f no other interpretation. The idea that a feeble contradiction from the editor of the Philftde'pwa rre will answer, approaches the sublime in assurance, espe ciallv when the oourse of that Individual ia remembered pending the Senatorial campaign in this State ion years ago.
