Professing to be an honest roan, the candidate of an honest organization, I favor honest money. The volume of the currency should be regulated by legitimate demand, and not by the requirements of bankrupts and wild speculators. ' The curreucy ehould bo redeemable as early as the exigencies of the Gov ernmeat will permit, in the curreucy recognized by all civilized nations. The contracts of the Government bhould be held as sacred as the con tracts of individuals, and the bonds, the evidence of its indebtedness, should be paid according to the understand ing botweeu the Government and the lender. Speech at Butler, Sept. 2, 1878 EUROPEAN LETTER. Editor Republican : More than three months have passed since I last wrote 3 ou a few linc3 from this distant land. ince then I have seen bo much, and vhited so many places of interest I rarcely know where to begin. We will pass by Germany's busy ;)Uol, Berlin, so well known to many your readers, and travel down ough Central Saxony, until we ah. the more beautiful and more - asant, but less known city of Dres a, Saxony's proud capitol. Dresden, of which mention is first .aide in the early part cf the 13th ntury, became tho resident city in ' ;S5, and through August II., sur ued August the Strong, was en :ed, strengthened and beautified y means of the fine public buildings hich he had erected during the first ' :w years of the 18th century, and tho iuseums and public parks which same i ito existence during his reign, and to horn Bhe owes much for the reputa u which she still bears to-day as one the first European cities of art. ' 'resden, at piesent, contains 198, ii) habitants and ia considered the tiest city in Saxony, and well doe9 merit her proud distinction, for Las certainly reached the top of .t. mount of beauty and can justly i Lint her glorious banner there. Sit ).aed as it is on either bank of the ! ihe, which is spanned at this point ' thrco Cue stoue bridges, surrouuded beautiful scenery and romantic apes, the environs of Dresden n:; tlic ino.-t allraclivc in Ger W. R. DUNN many. The streets are wido and well shaded, the parks numerou, a monu ment hero and there, fine residence", nice privato and public gardens, in fact all that tends to adorn a city and make it a desirable place in which to live. The Saxons themselves think there is no such. place in all Europe as Dres den, but we must remember that they, possessing all the bins of doting child ren, ate partial to everything that be longs to Saxony. -The celebrated Gallery of Paintings owes much of its present completeness to August III., who was, properly speaking, thef founder, and who during the thirty years intervening 1733-65, purchased many of the most valuable pictures. New additions of more modern works, however, have been added from time to time to the then rich collection, until now the Dresden Gallery is said to have no equal north of the Alps. It contains many of the best works of the most celebrated mas ters of olden limes. An entire room is given to Rafael's world-reuowned Madonna, (Madonna di San Sivio'), which was added to the collection as early as 1753 and for which $45,000 was paid, but the same could not be bought from the Government for $1,- 000,000. There is something really remarkable about this picture. The room is always full of visitors and some sit for hours with their eye fixed upon it as if there were some thing magical there. I know from ex perience I can sit there several hours without growing weary. Tho longer you look at it the more you see -and the greater becomes the enjoyment. Although few of my readers may have seen the original, I dare say all have seen copies of this most noted work of Rafael. There are hundreds of oth er master pieces there from the old Italian and Dutch scholars that are valued very highly. Rafael, Van Ityck, P. D. Rubens, Lucas Craoach, Duerer, Snyder and I. V. Eyck are well represented. Among other things worthy of a visit in Dresden is the so called Grunes Gewalbe (Green Vault), which contains a valuable collection of small but raie works of art, diamonds, pearls and precious articles in general, and n considered tho richest collec tion of the kind in Europe. Why it is called the Green Vault I am not prepared to say, for it is neither a vault, nor is it green. The collection is arranged in eight rooms or apart ments and only one bears any resem blance to a green vault, and it is Bim- ply green without the vault the walls being of that color. The man who gave them that name perhaps wanted to perpetuate his memory by leaving behind an everlasting namesake. The first room contains works in bronze among which are the riding models of Charles II. England, Louis VIV., and August the Strong; the second con tains elegantly carved specimens of unique workmanship from solid ivory, the most noticeable of which is a piece representing ninety-two angels in a flight, and is cut out of a solid piece of ivory eighteeu inches high. Also a Dutch frigate complete in every re spect, which must have cost an im mense amount of money and a long time of tedious labor to bring it to such" a state of perfection. This, too is cut from solid ivory ; m the third are fine specimens in enamel, amber, corial,- mother-of-pearl, etc. The fourth, articles in gold, silver and glass. The fifth, sixth and seventh rooms are rich in various works of wood-carving, artistic designs in onyx, jasper, agate, wax and the like; but the eighth surpasses all the others in worth; it contains the diamonds an) pearls and articles innumerable, in laid with these precious jewels. The large green diamond we-ghing 1C0 grains is one of the finest of the few large diamonds known to be in uny person's possession. A piece ot orna ment in the shape of a kuot or loop i inlaid with 662 of the finest brilliants; necklaces of diamonds, sword hiJt 6et with pearls and brilliants in such pro fusion as if they were the cheap article of ornament to be found : rin"?. among which are two, at one time the property of Luther, and one that of Melauchthou. I have heard these dia monds alone estimated at 810,000,000. Saxony saw prosperous days ut one time or there never would havo been a Grunes Gewalbe. No more than six persons are admitted into the rooms at a time. You aie shown around by a guide who explains everything, and tho eights you see there fully repay the curiosity seeker for his visit and ; fi.o -fventy-five cents admittance fee. I have seen Indies grow rapturous over these sparkling brilliants, and have heard them uso more superlatives than I nm able to do. There is also the Royal Library with its 400,000 volumes 500,000 leos however, than the one in Bui lin 4000 autograph letters of celebrated poets, historians and other writers of note, who havo long since left this world ; 30,000 maps, together with several thousand old manuscripts written upon all sorts of material imaginable, filling iu all threo halls and twenty-four rooms. And ho who visits the Histor ical Museum, which contains an im mense collection of historical wenpoiis, armor, household articles, wearingap parel etc., will well be remunerated for his time and trouble. To attempt to give a description of what is to be seen here would fill several columns. There is everything from Napoleon's I. boots which he wore at the battle of Dresden, the sword and three cornered hat of Peter the Great; toe sword of Charles II. of Sweden, and the broken horse shoe which August the Strong is said to have reut with his hand, to the ele gant riding-armor of Ileury the Pious, Elector Moritz, Christian. II. and nu merous others, which are ornamented with gold, silver and precious stones; flags, battle-axe?, cross-bows, and im plements of war of all nations and of all ages. Iu one room I recollect see iug a glass case the blood-stained and ragged sush which Elector Moritz wore at the battle of Sieverhauseu in 1553, and just above on' a little shelf within the case, the ball from which he received hia death wound. Show cases filled with tlme-woru, swords, helmets, shields, pistols and battle knives, ornamented with gold and sil ver, even pearls and diamonds, and thus we pass on from room to room until growing weary looking at Lu ther's driuking-cups, and the blood stained clothing of bravo old warriors, we pass down tho stairs and out into the fresh air. . The Opera House is the finest in Germany aud the. troupe has among its number som of the finest singers iu the country. In a little house in Kornor Street, designated by a plate fastened in the wall, Shellcr lived duiing the years 1784-86, and in the same house was born in 1791 Germany's honored poet and soldier, Theodore Koruer. In a little house in the woods, about "an hours walk from the city, Schiller wrote his Don Carlos, and about the same distance up the Elbe stands the building in which Carl von Weber composed his operas Freischutz aud Oberon. Thus we can scarcely walk anywhere iu the vicinity of Dresden without treading on classical ground. I have penned these lines in the pleasant little town of Diessenhofon, on the Rhine, Switzerland, in which at preseut resides Tiouesta's former merchant, Samuel Brandenberger Samuel is in good health, and, iu com pany with hid two brother, who, by the way, are perfect gentlemen, does an exceileut wholesale business in the line of under-clothing which they manufacture themselves. Samuel has shown Mr. Banj. May and myswlf much attention and has added greatly to the enjoyment of our visit iu this place. I believe I express the senti ments of all his Forest county friends when I say: May he ever prosper. Yours, Ciias. Bonner. Difsseuhofi-n, Aug. 22, 1878. From I'lttsbui al.
