raum WMiuJWTti. Tnuwrtn the United BtateaTreasury, OMthetah, •MMOS.TOOin Government bond* to recure buk dreuUtkm, and $18,868,400 to rorare public deporita. ft was Mated, unofUclally, that after the Ist of January next, aa aa aM to the resumption of apede payment*. It was very likely the Ttaaaury Department will send to partie* doslriug it the standard silver dollar, In qoantitie* of SI,OOO and upward, free of transportation, in exchange for like aw*M of greenback* deposited with depository banka. \ Im another letter to Minister Welsh on the subject of the Halifax award, Sec’y Evarts takes direct issue with the finding of the Com aaiaaton, both as to the amount of the award and the manner In which it was rendered, holding that the sum of $5,500,0001* an outrageoe* and utterly indefensible price to place upon the benefit* of twelve years of taking in Canadian waters, and that, if paid at all by the United States, it must be regarded as covertag the value of those benefits in perpetuity, and not for sny term of years, and that the adoption of this r any other award by the Commission by a bare majority is not in accordance with the term* of the treaty providtag for the Commission, and that the award is not, therefore, binding upon the Government. A Washington dispatch of the ISth says Sec’y Sherman, referring to the reported withdrawal Of one and two-dollsr United States notes, had stated that the story was started a year ago, and caused an unnatural demand for small bills. The story was unfounded, and no order had been given the Printing Bureau to limit the issue of ones and two*. They were issued to everybody who demanded them, and no order had ever been made for their withdrawal. After the Ist of January next, no bills of less denomination than five dollar* can be issued by National Banka, and if the one and two-dollar United States note* were withdrawn it would make place for more silver, but the Secretary thinks the public at large ought to have option to take gold, altver or paper, of any denomination coined or printed, and that this la the best way to secure the largest circulation. It was stated in Washington, on the 12th, that Lord Salisbury, in his reply to Sec’y Evarts, was as earnest in his position that the Canadian Fishery Award was made in accordance with the Treaty of Washington as Evarts was in maintaining the opposite view. The correspondence was not likely to be concluded before the award would become due, on the 23d, and it would probably be paid under protest

Of such bonds there was outstanding, on the 13th, the amount of $26,085,750. Annocnckment was made, on the 14th, that the United States Government had, through a banking house in New York, completed the purchase of sterling exchange to the amount of about £1,100,000 to meet the (5,500,000 required by the Halifax award to be paid to the British Government, at London, on the 23d, and that agents of the United States Treasury Department would make the transfer at London, on that date.

The Tissue-Paper Plan.
The following letter from Judge Mackey, Republican candidate for Congress in the Charleston, S. C., District, shows how the Democrats carried the election there. The same kind of tickets with which the Democrats stuffed the boxes there have been received from other districts in the State, showing that their use was general. They are printed on tissue paper, and are two inches wide and three long. .The reports of the United States Super’visors show that they were extensively and generously used. They were found in quantities of three to five in large numbers of the regular Democratic tickets, which were four or five times the size of the tisspe-paper tickets. Judge Mackey says: _ Charleston, B. C.. Nov. 7,1878. My Dear Sir : As you anticipated, the Democrats have counted me out. That I received a majority of at least 5,000 there is no doubt, yet O’Conner is given by the election officers'a majority of 10,000, and perhaps it will be more. How it has been done I shall tell you, and I hope you will publish the facts in every paper you can. In the first place, in the appointment of Managers of Election, the Democratic Commissioners of Elections in several counties in this district absolutely refused to appoint a single Republican Manager throughout the districts, so that we were compelledto vote without a single election officer to represent us in the entire district. It is true, we had a United Blates Supervisor appointed at each poll, and, though the Democratic Managers at most of the polls admitted them into tue polling-places, yet they threw every obstacle they could in their way, and in no instance would they allow them to exercise any authority, save to stand by and witness the voting. In some instances the authority of the Supervisors was entirely ignored. In one case the Managers ordered the Supervisor out of the polling-place, and, upon his refusing to go, they ordered the State Constables to eject him, which they did. This was at Mt. Pleasant Poll, In this county. At Palmetto Engine-House, in Ward 3 of this city, the Supervisor was severely beaten by the Democratic voters, and driven away from the polls. The authority of the United States Marshals was treated with utter contempt, and, to save themselves from arrest by the city and State authorities, they were compelled to refrain from exercising any authority. In this city the Democratic Managers of Election arbitrarily refused at least 2,000 colored voters the right to vote. Unless the colored man was known to one of the Managers of Election, he was refused, unless he could bring witnesses to prove where he resided. Many were turned off under the pretext that they were not twenty-one years of age, or, rather, that the Managers were doubtful of it. At the last session of the Legislature two voting precincts in St. Andrew’s Parish were abolished, and the 900 colored voters of that section left without a polling-place. The parish is only separated from the city Iby the Ashley River, and used to be connected with Charleston by a bridge, which you will probably recollect was burned at the evacuation of the city by the Rebels. The people crossed over to the City of Charleston for the purpose of voting, but the Democratic Managers would not receive their votes, though the City of Charleston was the only place where they could vote. The Legislature also abolished all votingplaces on the State road between Charleston and Summerville; and yet, when the people came to Charleston to vote, the Democratic Managers denied them privilege, telling them to go and vote where they lived, although they knew full well that there was no polling-place where thev : resided. Notwith standing all these outrages, the Republicans carried this county by at least 4,000 majority, but, to their utter surprise, the ballo’-boxes were opened at the various polls, the boxes were found to cpntain, in most cases, several hundred more ballots than there were names on the poll-list. Out of thirty-two polls in this county, at twenty of thein the ballots were largely in excess of the names on this poll-list. Every ballot-box was stuffed with tickets of the kind-1 inclose. These tickets were not circulated during the election, but had been printed by the’Democratic Executive Committee, and distributed amongst the Managers only. The regular Democratic tickets, as well as the Republican tickets, were five times as large in most instances, especially where very few Democratic votes were cast The Managers, after counting the ballots and ascertaining the excesses, returned them to the .ballot-box, but were careful to leave tjbem unfolded, and proceeded to draw out the number of ballots in excess. They were careful, however, to throw out none of these small tickets, but in every instance the large Republican ballots were drawn out and destroyed. At Mount Pleasant Poll, 482 Republican ballots were thus drawn out and destroyed, and this poll, where the Republicans had voted live to one against the Democrats, was made to give a Democratic majority of 326. The most outrageous case of ballot-box stuffing occurred at the polls in Ward 3 of this city. At the poll known as the Palmetto Engine-House, •ne of the Managers, W. L. Doggett, the foreman of the New» and Courier job-printing office, stuffed 2,500 of these little tickets in the box after the poll was closed. The Managers finding that there were 3,569 ballots in the box, declined to throw out any, but counted them all, and returned the vote of that poll as 461 for Mackey and 3,108 for O’Conner. Attheother polls in this ward the same act was,.performed, and the Managers returned 121 for Mackey and 1,866 for O’Conner; sb that one ward out of the eight in the city was made to give s majority of 4,392 votes for O’Conner. The utter impossibility of voting 3,569 persons at one poll in the space of twelve hours needs bardiv to be argued. As the Managers swore each voter separately, and, in many cases, consumed three or four minutes in questioning voters, it is safe to say that ths average time consumed in voting each man was one minute, which would allow 720 votes to be polled, provided there was a continuous stream of voters during the twelve hours the polls were open. Yet, at ithis poll, the Managers make a return/ under oath, that 3,569 persons voted in the space of twelve hours. By this method Cuarleston City is made to give O’Conner a majority of 6,527, or-a majority larger than the entire Democratic vote of the city. Throughout this couni y and entire district boxes were stuffed in the same way, not only iu-Chariestop, but in Clarendon. Not satisfied with stuffing the bkllotiioxfcs, the Democrats, finding it impossible to stuff the ballot-boxes at Washington EngineHouse, in Ward 6, because of the vigilance of the United States .Buper’isor. put out the lights and stole the box and destroyed it, because I bad a majority of about 590 there. On Edisto Island, where 1,000 Republican voters reside, and wueie IM Democrats hsv? only
about forty or fifty votes, the Democratic Commissioners failed to open the jxilla, thus actually disfranchising these voters. It is useless writing any more of these disgusting details. 1 see no remedy for the wrongs we are compelled to submit to. The publication of Mum, I an afraid, will do little good. But, still, publish them, far and wide, so as the world may know to what crimes the so-called respectable Democrats of South Carolina will descend. The inmates of the South Carolina Penitentiary would not be guilty of the acta committed on Tuesday by the Democ rats of this State. Yours, truly, 1 E. W. Macket.
The Louisiana Election.
The recent election in Louisiana dißoloses two grave facts among others: first, that the Republican party stood benumbed, and, secondly, that the Democratic party, lacking its old Republican antagonist, expended its combative forces upon itself and was shattered into five distinct parties. The especial devil whereof that Democracy has for years been possessed is a swinish greed, and the old Scriptural story in which two Gergesene Democrats were tormented by devils which were exorcised into a herd of swine that ran violently down a steep into the sea, seems to have quickened emulation in Louisiana. The surplus hunger for place, pert in her Democracy, found expression in four herds, respectively known as the Nationals, the Citizens’ Conservative,theWorkingman’sand the Citizens’ organizations, eacfi announcing itself to be composed of the most exemplary pigs, and capable of assuring the people the most moral and economical pork for a shilling. The vehemence of the plague and the quarantine keys with which many parts of the State locked themselves from approach, forbade the juntas at New Orleans of these several organizations from inciting as general a mutiny as they doubtless desired. Three of the schisms, indeed, did not extend their venture beyond that city itself, and the result achieved . by the old Democracy to the discomfiture of the schisms is of less significance than is the fact that this result in the State at large is wholly without the consent of the dumb Republican majority of her people, and in her one great city is without the consent of a majority, composed of Republicans and disaffected Democrats. The latter, in arranging the Democracy, failed to act as an integer, and debased their worthy challenge to a mere selfish struggle, win which each schism thought to elbow the other aside instead of reinforcing that other. But, while they were thus unwitting auxiliaries to the straight-out Democracy as against each other, it is notable that so large an aggregate vote against its city ticket, as was polled, should be cast in New Orleans by men who remained Democrats till the Republican party there was hamstrung. Jealously guarding the Democracy for a long period against Republican fire, they have at length sought to recruit from the fragments of the Republican party to sap and mine that Democracy. That many colored Republicans voted on the sth inst., there is little doubt, but, having no interest as partisans in the struggle, and no temptation save from the stiaight-out element, which was in possession of the places and of the only campaign moneys, thev have served to make the New Orleans vote of the old Democracy larger than it will probably ever be again. Certain it is that the votes cast for the other tickets were, as a rule, votes of old Democrats who sought to break down a local Tammany, however much their leaders might quietly seek to erect a new Tammany. All, and more than all, that Republicans there have ever charged against the Democracy, has been recently charged by the other elements. They have not only Stripped off its old uniform from their backs, but have fired off its buttons as ammunition, so to speak. They have wrought victory despite their needless defeat—-their candid antagonism augurs much for the future. They virtually annourme that an arbitrary convention can no longer prescribe a citizen’s opinion or tenet, and this is a bold advance beyond the chalkline of the disciplined Southern Democracy. It is worth more than a score of mechanical campaign triumphs. And what, after all, is the Democratic triumph in Louisiana? First, the election as State Treasurer of E. A. Buike, a “ carpet-bagger,” who entered Louisiana seven years ago from Illinois, byway of Texas, where he had halted during and after the war. It is a remarkable confession by the Democracy that the fittest custodian of the. State’s cash-box is a “carpetbagger”—a confession, by the way, we are not disposed to question. Secondly, the re-election of six Congressmen, but one of whom, Gibson, is a man of note. Not all these six combined can assure Louisiana a dollar’s worth of internal improvements, of whi,ch they make loud promises as candidates, and from which the Northern Democrats are averse. Six mummies would serve this Democracy as well. Thirdly, the election of a Legislature which, judg ing from the imperfect returns, will simply continue the present wanton dalliance with the sacred moneys of the Commonwealth; and, fourthly, the continuance of a ring government in the City of New Orleans, which two years hence will surely receive harsher populst - criticism than has found recent expression in the platforms of four exDemocratic elements. The very certainty of this danger will impel the new incumbents to swoop in all the spoils they can, and to have the game of rogues since they must have the name of rogues. Bienville cleared from the marsh a site for the City of New Orleans, and impressed into service to that end a force of convicts. The convicts must subsequently have had large families there in anticipation of Democratic candidatures.— Chicago In-ter-Ocean
—Of Monseigneur Asinan, a distinguished Roman Catholic prelate and at one time Papal Nuncio at Brussels, who recently died, the following anecdote is related: “On his way to Rome, after he had fulfilled his mission in Brussels, his carriage was stopped by brigands. After they had pretty thoroughly rifled the persons of the prelate and his attendants, the chief asked him if lie had anything more. ■ Joseph,’ said the Bishop, turning to his servant, ‘ did you give him the money that you had hidden ?’ alluding to J 40.000 in gold which hud been Concealed in the bottom of a trunk amid a lot of soiled linen. The worthy man considered it a crime lie even *to a brigand.” In 1850, the total property valuation of the United States, according to ihe census report of that year, was ¥7,135,780,228; in 1860, it wa5i16J159,616,068; in 1870, it was ¥30,068,518,507. That is to say, the agggregate wealth of the country increasea about 125 per cent, from 1850 to 1860, and about 86 per pent. froß} 1860 to 1870,
The President of Southern Outrages.
loan authorized interview, given to the Washington I'ational Republican, on the evening of the 12th, the Prtsident very sharply outlined what may be termed bis new policy toward the Sojith. It wak prepared at the White House and has all the importance and gravity of a special message. The President was first asked whether Southern outrages had been discussed in the Cabinet. He replied: “ That is a mistake. The time for discussion has passed. It is now too late foixanything but the most determined and vigorous action. This determination was reached several days ago, and the deliberations of the Cabinet on the subject since then have been comparatively brief and confined mainly to the consideration of the duty of the Attorney-General in the premises.” To these remarks the interviewer replied approvingly, and then asked the President how he accounted for the result of a solid South in the face of the pledges of fair dealing by Southern Democrats. The President—That question leads directly to a discussion of what has been latterly termed the Southern Policy of the Administration. When that policy was inaugurated it was with an earnest desire to conciliate the Southern leaders, to round off the sharp angles of sectional differences, and to soften the asperities of political strife. No one will deny that an attempt to enforce this policy was earnestly made, 'nor that it was carried out with a conscious desire 'to accomplish the result for which it was inaugurated. Of the personal and partisan sacrifices I made in this effort and of the consequent ' interruption of certain relations which had previously existed between myself and some of my supporters I have nothing to say just now; but it appears that the leaders who made those pledges either did not exert themselves to keep them or were unable to do so. In fact, lam reluctantly forced to admit that the experiment was a failure. The first election of importance held since it was attempted has proven that fair elections, with free suffrages for every voter, in the South are an impossibility under the existing condition of things. Interviewer—And the Republiean party, except in North Carolina, has thereby been wiped out of existence in in the South? The President—lt is not because the Republican party appears as the sufferer in these results that I complain. It is because free suffrage and freedom of political rights have been interfered with I am called upon to take cognizance of these disturbances. If the facts were exactly reversed, and if Republicans had permitted these outrages upon Democrats, my duty would be the same. It will not do for me, or for any official before whom these questions may come, to treat them otherwise than in a non-partisan way. The partisan press will naturally take a partisan view, and I will be held to account for aiding Republicans—stalwarts, I mean —in flaunting the bloody shirt, as it is called. • Interviewer —Yes, it has been charged . that you are following in the footsteps of your predecessor. The President—Well, I expect all that and more. I can’t expect to hold the office I do without being kicked and cuffed a little, you know; but for all that I shall do my duty as Chief Magistrate of all the people, Democrats and Republicans alike; and if in the faithful execution of the laws justice shall demand the punishment of this man or that man, whatever his political connections may be, I shall not be deterred by partisan criticism. All that I know is that great crimes have been committed and it is my duty to aid in the punishment of the criminals. ' Interviewer—And you do not think the Southern leaders—Democrats, I mean—who have promised so often to protect the blacks of the South in the exercise of their rights are responsible for these crimes? The President (frankly)—l do not. Gov. Hampton, for example, has tried repeatedly to repress the violence which has characterized the compaign in South Carolina, and failed. Such Republicans as Judge Lee and Mr. Rainey, and ex-State Senator Swails, of that State, have advised me of these facts. They say that Hampton cannot control the “red-shirts,” as they call them, and they have repeatedly informed me of speeches he has made deprecating violence in the conduct of the campaign, and it appears that Gov. Nicholls in Louisiana is earnestly opposed to these proceedings in his State. Interviewer—Then officers of thb Department of Justice have been instructed to carry out the proceedings already begun against these depredators?
The President—Not only against those who have already been arrested, but against others who will soon be arrested. It is proposed to make a clean sweep of this business and exhaust every legal resource in the execution of ’Justice. The integrity of American citizenship has been grossly violated in widespread localities. It must and shall be vindicated. Interviewer —Will it be necessary to make any removals or changes among District Attorneys in the Southern States? The President—l hope not, and believe wot; but if it is discovered that any officer of the class you refer to is not already endeavoring to do his whole duty in the matter, there will be no hesitation in taking proper stepstoreplace him and to secure a vigorous prosecution of these cases. At the close of the Cabinet meeting, on the 12th, Att’y-Gen. Devens said that he had some facts to submit relating to political outrages in the South. The President then asked him to remain alone after the Cabinet meeting, remarking that there oould be no difference of opinion among them about any course he might pursue. There being no dissenting voices, the subject was not discussed in; the Cabinet, notwithstanding the full reports of a debate which were published in the evening papers. Gen. Devens’ conference with the President amounted to this: Well-authenticated reports of political outrages and cheats have come within the last month from Louisiana and South Carolina, especially from the latter State. It has been customary in past administrations to make a great ado about these political outrages up to the day of election, and then say nothing about them afterward. In this eaqe,Gen. Devens has rcSblved upon quite a different policy. He is going to employ all the machinery of the Department of Justice to investigate every individual case of alleged outrage, and, where guilt is found, to bring to bear the whole force of the Government to secure the prompt and summary punishment of the guilty?— Telegraphic Special to the Chicago Times. ——>— '"*4- ' ■ i When a grasshopper eats it is only a simple hopper-ratic®. „
