THE
' COUNTRY. " "
Trrnn. tX N. Y. Ilsrahi.' ' '"'
The news comes froni Washington that at
a Cabinet meeting on Tncatlny tho dccliuo of
gold And the fian.nci'al situation of the country .
were subjects of cUscittslorf; that All the mem.
tiers agreed that our condition and prospecti
are roont favorable," and that no measures
would be taken by the ad miiUHt ration to force
specie paymenta. This is a common sense
and practical view of the matter. The less
Government interferes just now with the cur
rencr or tho gold market the better. - The
steady docline of gold and approach to specie
payments are altogether independent of Gov
ernment action. The condition of the country
and state of trade are the causes of the fall of
gold. If we reach speciepayments within a short
time, as many bolieve we shall, that will be
brought about through the abundant resources
of the country and by the natural laws of
trade. If there should be a reaction and
specie payments be deferred a little longer
the same natural laws will govern, and it
would be unwise for Government to interfere.
History furnishes many examples of the folly
of governments attempting to force specie
. payments. Great Britain passed through
terrible disasters in consequence of such at
tempts after the long wars with the first Na
poleon were endod. It is a sensible conclu
sion, therefore, of the Cabinet at Washing
ton not to meddle with the currency or to
force resumption, but to lot the country and
people work out the problem for themsolvos
All the members of the Cabinet agree that
, the finanoiol situation of the country is most
favorable. Well they may. The revenue has
been coming in at the rate of nearly a hun
dred millions a year in excess of tho expen
ditures, an enormous floating war debt has
been paid off within three or four years,
and the standing debt has been diminished
some two hundred millions since the war
closed. But the most remarkable fact is that
the people have been able to bear enormous
taxation to accomplish all this without great
suffering or murmuring. Such taxation or
such demands upon the people of any other
nation would have caused the greatest dis
tress. No other country, probably, oould
have borne what this has. None could have
sustained or overcome in so short a time such
financial difficulties. Tho natural wealth,
productive industry and recuperative power
of the republic are equal to any demands or
the most trying emergency. Whatever may
be thought of the administration or whatever
credit may be due to it for faithfully execut
ing the revenue laws, the happy condition of
our national finances and tho approximation
to a specie basis are to be attributed princi
pally to the industry and wondorf ul resources
of the country.
Even with regard to specie payments the
people are taking the initiative. The Gov
ernment stands in the background and waits
the result. Business men in different parts
of the country are giving change to their
customers in specie. This is particularly so
on or near the Canada border, where silver is
abundant and approximates the value of cur
rency. In the city of New York specie is
Tknirl exnt nrrar in t.ViA nT nf nhanoa at BnvATftl
places of business. The Secretary of the
Treasury has been informed by telegraph that
in Texas and Northern Louisiana actual
resumption of speoie payments has token
place, and that currency and coin are taken
alike without distinction for cotton. In
California, we know, coin has been in circula
tion for some time, and the greenbacks have
been an article of trade. Thus we see the
tendency and desire generally toward specie
payments. This being the case, nothing can
. prevent the early consummation of the
- object but Borne change in the course of
trade or some extraordinary disturbance in
the world.
- People are somewhat puzzled, it is true, at
the constant and daily deoline of gold, and
the speculators in Wall street hardly know
what to expect in the future or how to act.
Some attribute the existing state of things to
. one cause and some to another. There are
several causes operating. The export of cot
ton during the last few months has done much
toward paying for our imports. The produc
tion of the precious metals to the amount of
sixty ox seventy millions a year has had its
effect. But the appreciation of the credit of
the Government abroad, which has caused an
extraordinary demand for our securities in
Europe, has paid the balanoe of trade and
made exchange more in our favor. Con
sidering the high rate of interest American
bonds bear, it is probable this demand will
continue. We should not be surprised, there
fore, to see gold exported to this country and
exchange being in our favor. Under this
state of things there is no reason why we
should not reach specie payments. Of course
we should have then, with the amount of the
precious metals brought into circulation in
addition to our present currency, an easy
money market and a general stimulus to trade
and enterprise. Whether we can remain on a
specie basis and go along swimmingly in this
way will depend upon the future productions
of the country and the maintenance of peace
throughout the world. Tor the present all
looks well and promising. The balance of
trade is favorable, and that rules the money
market and the price of gold. Let us look
,. to the future, however, and maintain, if pos
sible, the finanoial position we hold by in
creasing our produots and exportation of
them.
THE riEGAN SLAUGHTER AND ITS
APOLOGISTS. ,
Prom th JT. Y. Timet.
We can well understand how a friendly
fraUrnal feeling, and a certain professional
pride, quite proper in its place, should load
tome of the army officers in Washington to
uphold and approve the late massacre in
Montana. They feel, and we all feel, that
the Indians are a cruel and relentless foe,
who must be struck hard if struck at all, and
that their brutalities are as exasperating at
they are hideous. For all that, the Piegan
slaughter, as actually conducted, seems to a 4
wholly indefensible. .
It is indefensible on two grounds, first, by
reason of its needless barbarity and bru
tality, and second, in its retroactive influence
on our new Indian policy. It was in that
both a crime and a blunder. As to the first
point, we need add little to what has already
been said, and little to the emotions which
the recital of facts arouses. We need not
accept entirely Mr. Vincent Collyer's ver
sion of the affair, especially as General
Sheridan has vehemently protested against
its being regarded as the true story. But how
much better is the official statement made
to General Sully? The latter tells us that of
the 173 killed onlyU3 were men, I"and of
these, fifteen only were ucb m are called
by them young or fighting men,' i. ., be
tween the age of twelve and thirty-seven.
Cut of the roht.no less tlmn ninety wore
women; and fifty were children, all under
twelve years of ago, "aud many in their
mothers' arms." Does this account help
matters at all? General Sheridan replies by
showing how "at least 800" whites, men,
women, and children, have been murdered,
more or less brutally, by Indians, since 1802.
Does the accumulation of all the Indian
slaughters for eight years, throughout all the
Indian command, offset this wholesale slaugh
ter of 140 women and children, in a single
camp of e single tribe? Or is it pretended
that tho Indian murders are commendable?
for surely we are not to regard that as vir
tuous in us which we shudder at in savages.
Had the women and children been spared,
and the braves been slaughtered even
though the affair was so one-sided that we
lost but a single man everybody would have
applauded, as in the raids of Custer and Carr.
But it is yet to be shown how, granting that
the expedition was needful, non-combatants
could not have been captured instead of
killed.
It is, however, chiefly because of its injury
to our new Indian policy that we now review
this affair. The new policy has been dis
tinctively announced as one of peace, pro
tection, and civilization. This policy oould
not and cannot furnish a cloak for Indian
maraudings: misdeeds of that nature must
still be punished by the sword. But it is of
the highest importance that in our hostile as
in our pacific dealings with the Indians, we
have right on our side. The Blaokfeet had
committed many crimes in Montana, and
winter was the season for striking them;
but by striking them as Bed Horn's camp
was struck the old anti-military spirit is
roused, and the resolute efforts of the ad
ministration to keep peace on the Plains
through army intervention may very likely
be foiled. It would be hardly possible, for
example, to transfer at this moment the
Indian Bureau to the War Department; and
the sincerity of the desire expressed by
officers for peace on the Plains becomes
widely, though we think unjustly,, dis
trusted. The only plan finally possible for the ad
ministration or the army is one of peace and
protection. Mr. Wilson's bill for promoting
the civilization of the Indians and preparing
them for the rights of citizenship, strikes the
key-note of the true policy. Of course, this
is only possible with peaceful Indians, and
the wild tribes mnst be treated otherwise.
But we must not forget that those we now
call ."peaceful" were once "wild," and it is all
but a question of degree and of time. The
policy we cannot listen to, even for the wild
Indians, is extermination; and any movement
looking towards the latter should be promptly
discountenanced and disavowed.
TnE GOLD MARKET.
tromthX. F. Tribune.
The first of the two sales of Treasury gold,
of one million each, for the current month,
which took place on Wednesday, realized a
much lower price for the Government than has
ever been accepted at any previous sole. It
is but a few weeks since Secretary Boutwell
refused to make deliveries on any bids under
120; but on Wednesday, the prices offered on
the bids which were accepted averaged a trifle
under llOj. The range in the market
throughout the day was from 110J to 111 J,
and the transactions were very large, the fluc
tuations being rapid, and excitement running
high.
It has very often been said in Wall street
of late that "there are no bulls in gold.", The
speculative holders of large quantities of gold
have of course tried to force it up in their
own interest; but they lost heart over a fort
night ago, and have only been engaged for
some time past in efforts, at once feeble and
desperate, to retard the fall as much as pos
sible, and limit their losses when they were
compelled to sell out. The great majority of
operators have latterly been moving very
frequently and very rapidly, contenting them
selves with the Bmau profits made by re
peated turns during the hundred fluctuations
of the day. But those who, on principle or
by temperament, ordinarily constitute the
bull party, have shown themselves completely
demoralized. They have seen their old
stable arguments failing them day by day.
They have found the cost of these arguments
positive cost in actual cash mere than they
were able to endure; and so, throwing over
at once their arguments and their cold, they
have either jumped wildly to the other side,
or picked up such fragments as might be
found between sides, or stood bewildered and
helpless, asking with the Great Expounder.
"And wnere snail X cor it nas been almost
impossible to find a respectable "bull" reason
of any kind anywhere in Wall street, and
tnose wno, from interest, upneid tne "bull
side, were compelled to put themselves off
with makeshifts which they would never have
tolerated in other days. It needs but a
slight opportunity, of course, to enable a
"bull" party to present itself again; and it
will certainly go hard with them if several
opportunities cannot be found before the
struggle is finally given up.
There have, of course, been heavy losses
from the great fall in gold outside of the
speculators. Those who have larae stocks of
imported goods bought and paid for at former
prices tnose wno nave large supplies manu
factured with labor at its maximum, will suffer
loss. Many of those who have been holding
property and real estate at fancy prices, will
maKe tne discovery tnat their Hopes of secur
ing big profits by its continued advance are
not likely to be quickly realized. Many of the
large operators in Western and Southern pro
ducts will fail to obtain their anticipated pro-
I ". A . 'll . 1 ' ,1 ...
ms. ui, noiwiuiBtancung ail iiua, wa are
firmly of the opinion, which has not been
reached without at least attempting to get
knowledge, tnat a vast majority of the
business classes here, and throughout
me country, are 10-aay anxious to see on
end to the fluctuations in the value of paper
money, and in an values, wnicn nave for
years past deranged all our business inte
rests. The great mass of - business men an.
prehend quite clearly that it would be to their
advantage to see gold and greenbacks ap
proximate each other in value, bo that busi
ness operations - could again be carried on
understandingly, and upon a sound basis
We believe that the bulk even of those who
apparently and temporarily suffer loss during
the decline or tne gout premium, would inn
pitely prefer the assurance which can only be
obtained by the application of the specie
standard, to the fictitious advantages derived
through the reokoning of nominal values.
Our mercantile and other business classes are
heart ilv weary of the excitement and uncer
tainty consequent upon . ever-shifting prices
and values of goods and currency. They
have not only Buffered through its demoraliz
ing influences, but have failed to secure the
business satisfaction whioh comes through
legitimate profits and assured returns. Those
ideas have been expressed of late with greater
force than ever by men representative of
many business interests; and we believe that
when at last we get within hailing distance
o I
'of the point at which fixed values are estab- ,
lished, there will be no class of the com
munity better pleased or more benefited than
tho men who carry on the legitimate business
operations of the country.
TnE NEW HAMrsniRE ELECTION.
The Republicans of New Hampshire, after
a vigorous canvass, against a divided opposi
tion, have re-elected thoir candidate for Gov
ernor with the loss of two-thirds of thoir lait
voar's majority. They have been enabled to
attain this clipped and shrunken victory by
their unimpaired party discipline, the mis
takes and Blackness of their adversaries, and
a variety of favorable circumstances, j Last
year they had no aid from the patronage and
Influence of. the Federal, administration.
General Grant did not come into office until
just at the close of their last year's canvass,
about a week before their election took
place. The new President had too much bu
siness on his hands to take an active interest
in the result. During the first five or six
weeks of his term, he was engaged ' in a
wi ancle with Congress about the repeal of
the Tenure-of -Office act, and refusod'to make
ny but Cabinet appointments. The atten
tion of the country was engrossed with affairs
at Washington, and the New Hampshire Re
publicans were left to fight their battle un
aided, Andrew Johnson's office-holders still
retaining their places. This year the admin
istration has taken a keen interest In the
success of the Republican party in that State.
Though the State is small and unimportant,
it holds the first election of the present
year, and General ' Grant desired that it
should wear the semblance of indorsing his
administration. The Republicans have
accoi din gly been strengthened by all the in
fluence the administration could exert; and
even with this advantage and the division
of their opponents, they have lost two-thirds
of their last year's majority.
Portsmouth, the only seaport of New Hamp
sbiie, is the seat of one of the finest Navy
Yards in the country. In a small State, where
rartits are pretty evenly balanced, the em
ployes of a Navy Yard are an important weight
in the political scale. This engine has been
wo)ked with uncommon skill. Just before
tho canvaf s opened, nearly all the hands in
the Navy Yard were discharged, under the
prett n e of a want of funds. Men with de
pendent families suddenly turned adrift in
the depth of winter, get a saaiy realizing sense
of the value of employment. When they had
been kept in this beggared condition for a
few weeks, they were again set to work; and
the command of the administration over their
means of subsistence enabled it to coerce
their votes. The returns accordingly show
that Portsmouth is the only locality where
the Republicans have made gains to par
tially onset their losses in other parts of the
State.
The Republicans of New Hampshire have
made a resolute canvass, assisted by some of
the ablest and most prominent members of
tne party from other Mates, ice speakers
from abroad, like Mr. Dawes, as well as their
native speakers, took unwearied pains to dis
suade Republicans from joining the Labor
Reform movement; while the Democrats
weakly divided on this question, and the
third party was openly favored by the Demo
cratic btate cjommittee. The result shows
that the committee made a stupid blunder.
The great body of the Democrats spurned its
advice and voted for the regular candidate,
whereas nothing could nave justified, the
recommendation but the certainty that it
would be the means of uniting and consoli
dating the opposition to the Republican can
didate. It was the duty of men holding the
responsible position of members of the State
Committee to have been better informed
respecting the sentiments of the party.
There is probably no danger that such a blun
der will be repeated. ! ,
The noteworthy thins in this election is
the fact that the Republicans, with all their
zeal, energy, discipline, patronage, noted-
speakers, and the mistakes of their oppo
nents. have not been able to hold their own,
but have lost two-thirds of the majority by
which they earned the Btate last year.
CAPTAIN EYRE'S CRIME.
From On y. T. Tribun.
There is something worse than shocking in
a disaster of a magnitude for which we have
to blame not elements and aocidents merely,
but the heart of man, which is more danger
ous than the precipice and more savage than
the sea. The disaster perpetrated by, the
British steamer Bombay in Japanese waters
was a double calamity. The steamer itself
killed a Bhip, bo to speak, but that was an
accident. The captain of the steamer left
more than a hundred men to drown, and, this
is a crime which hnds its measure in the sea
which holds it rather than in the ordinary
limits of human perceptions. It is worse
than disgraceful to his nation and race it is
a calamity to his species. We have only to
say in behalf of Captain Eyre that it must
have given him exceedingly little thought and
feeling to commit his great murder at sea as
compared with the thoughts and feelings
which are aroused to denounce it. )
Uf the actual commission of a crime more
or less in the affair of the Oneida, there is no
longer a doubt, we grieve to say. In the re
markably prompt, full, and detailed re
ports of the disaster, nothing is want
ing to show the nature of the catastro
phe and the wilful or careless crime which
made the Oneida its victim. It is deposed that
the whistle of the Oneida was blown and
three guns fired. Still, the captain of the
Bombay declares that he neither eaw nor
heard a signal; yet the steward of the Bom
bay, on arrival at Yokohama, asserted that
the Oneida had been run into and cut to
the water's edge. So much for this' part of
the story. But the worst of it is the evidence
of a British lieutenant, that Captain Eyre told
him that "he had cut the whole quarter off a
damned Yankee frigate, and served her
bloody well right." Captain Eyre's own evi
dence is to the effect that the collision was
tco slight to be much suspected, that his pilot
told him that a spit of land was near and that
there was no danger, and that he was a good
fiftten minutes looking after the ill-fated ship!
That "good fifteen minutes" is a terrible bit
of evidence. ! ' '
We are far from wishing to prejudge tho
case of the Bombay captain, and, for the
honor of our race, hope that he will prove
himself less a reckless villain than he seems.'
Let not his infamy, as it stands, obsoure the
sublime last act of noble men the heroism
with which Captain Williams determined to
go down with his Bhip, the noble courage of
tLe young Ens'gn Copp illustrious examples,
of which a marine that claims the memory of
Commander Craven and the immortal boy
Hollund can never be destitute when an occa
sion arises.
