I'oiiiTics in England, according to Premier Gladstone, who opened the Parliamentary canvass on Tuesday, is question of linanccs. lbe same is trua here. That, party must win in the United stales which can secure a safe and ulable money, and can demonstrate its abiity to carry on the Government ably and economically.

Ob'K grief during tho Modoc unpleasantness at the discovery of the fact that tho: dusky murderers of the lava beds were-armed with the very latest improvements in the way of rifles, which had been sold to them by unprincipled Government agents, lias at la.st found a parallel. English ooJUiiorft in Africa do not relish th© idea ot being shot down by the Anhantces with rifles which bave been sold to tliem by manufacturers of those deadly weapon's in Birmingham. Bullets made from English moulds and shot from English rifles with English powder, are not those pleasant memories of home which British soldiers love to run upon in distant Africa. saL"..j_i'

TUB Marshall Jleruld of this week administers what is intended—and we tako the will for the deed—to be a severe castigation to the GAZETTE, for having been guilty of speaking lightly of tho death ot the Biamese twins. It seems moreover, to have been offended that the paragraph relating to that doleful subject should have been placed in tho very midst of thq wilderness of fiewerago items, which tho GAZETTE publuhed when that topic was red-hot, HO to speak. We are sorry that our contemporary failed to notice the solemn poiutednesS of such juxtaposition, a matter which we admit having studied over, and the happy solution of which we rather prido ourselves on. Having furnished the item, it is indeed, hard to have now to furnish intelligence to the Marshall man, to understand it. "Hull hath no fury" equal to that of an editor compelled to perform a surgical operation on a reader to make him soo a palpable point. We certainly thought no one could fail to see tho connection between tho death of the celebrated

Siamese twins and the no less celebrated system of Terre Haute sewerage, intended to curry oil refuse matter and dead things, but. ultimatelycarried off Itself an one of the deadest and most offensive things around, and more desirable to be gotten rid of than all tho refuse mat.er that could nccumulato in our city for years. But grief makes blind, we know, and the Marshall Herald man being, as the telegraph aunounces this morning, the gratidsow of tho late lamented Eng, he is of course grieved because the GAZETTE was not put in mourning.

A paper currency, issued on any other basis or with any other understand- .* ing than that for every dollar of it issued a -dollar in metal has been locked up in the vaults of the Treasury, and is ever waiting and watching to redeem that paper, which is doing its duty in the world, has not that fixed value which is«an essential quality of whatever shall perform the function of money. Hedge such paper money about with the credit of the country, base it on funds of unlimited amounts, and though you paint it an inch thick with the bravest statements of what it is worth, to this complexion must it come at last, that people will he shy of it, for it is a creature subject to the whims and caprices of a Congress which to-day may divide its value by two by doubling its quantity, and to-morrow double its value by dividing its quantity by two. Its very elemental idea and essense as it were, is uncertainty. A. creature of Congress, and dependent upon legislation, it is a shuttlecock between the contending.battledoors of rival lobbies

Wall street ia.transferred to Washington, and the fights of bulls and bears is carried on in Congress. Corners in Congressmen will become as common as corners in stocks. These things, we say, are liable, so long as what shall be money, rests upon the dicta of Congress.

specie basis. Government haa no right to be meddling with money, changing values and unsettling business. The policy is as" inexpedient as wroEf?. The people want a money which shall be worth as much to-morrow as it is to day, which shall be above Congressional interference which shall be as valuable in England as the United States, and worth as much in

France and Germany as in either country a currency so changeless that the study of its fluctuations will not afford a livelihood to speculators, whoshall fatten off the more laborious and lessshrewd business and laboring people of the country. As it is now, business is as uncertain as betting on a professional base bail club, where, selling out at intervals, is a part of the business. The changeless money is gold, and to it, not so rapidly as to derange business or hurt the debtor class, but as certainly as the shining of the sun, the country must come with a determination never again to depart from it. Tho value of money should be as fixed and ascertain as tie laws of the

Mtdes and Persians, and from the very nature of the case that money mubtbe gold and never can be paper.

A Matter of Dollars and Cents. The Evening GAZETTE says of tbe greenback currency, "to this complexion must it corn© ftt IHHI, that poopl© will be shy of it." Will the GAZETTE explain why it was thtit the people wero not "shy of it" during the great panic of last fall, when men clutched tor it. hoarded it, and when greenbacks/ran up to a hi^hervaine.rnoaHured by gold, than they had before attained since the war ?—Express.

The GAZETTE will try to explain. Xiast summer a flood of paper money poured into New York City from all over the country, for two reasons: First, that there was more money in the country than was needed, aud second, because banks in the metropolis were' paying interest on deposits, in anticipation of a speculative demand, which such redundancy was expected to produce. Money being plenty and procurable on easy terms, speculation did set lu. The stocks aud bonds of all sorts of chimercal enterprises were speculated in, and the very uncertainty and doubtfulness of this value was the quality about them that made them such choice objects. Tho plenteousness of money set an unusual number of stock gamblers at work.

All dealing in pretty much the same class of stocks made an unusual demand for them and brought about an increase of price. New parties bought and sold at ah advance, and everybody was, apparently making money out of the universal rise. The result was that by October, speculation had run to such an extent that millions of dollars of greenbacks were owing on stocks which had been pushed to a valuation totally beyond any intrinsic worth. Then came the crash. Stocks commenced tumbling, margins had to be widened, and nearly everybody wauted greenbacks to pay gambling debts. At one time these obligations outstanding could not have been settled had there been thousand millions of greenbacks. This enormous and un expected demand for just one article •greenbacks—the very pleutifulness of which, in the beginning, had created tho whole trouble, was what, mado everybody temporarily hoard them. Stock gamblers wanted them they had to havethom.to widen their margins, or lose all they had already invested. They would pay their obli gatious. Heuce the value rose. We can imagine speculation carried to snob a point, with a greenback currency, that when the decline and panic should come, greenbacks might

en and live-eights shy of them. That is to say, yesterday, in order to get a dollar of gold, a person would have had to pay one dollar and eleven and five-eighth cents. Atone time during the war the people were a dollar and eighty-six cents—we think those are figures—"shy of them." Since what we buy abroad we have to pay gold for, there will be no question, we suppose, about the value of gold being the standard. Whatever the premium of gold is, that is the measure of the shyness of the people to touch greenbacks.

People abroad ar£' "slay" of them. At home, people are not so shy of them, (1) because.lhey will pay debts -pre-eminently gambling debts (2) because they will pay taxes (8) because on the face of thein there is this phrase, "The United States will pay to bearer, one dollar"—if that is the denomination of the bill—and the time is approaching when that promise ought to be redeemed. The country thought it was near to it when Boutwell commenced draw ing in the greenbacks. It has not thought so,so much since Richardson commenced bringing them out. It will think so less when the volume is increased as Logan, Morton and the Express wants it to be. As for the country it will be shj of them to an extent expressed by the premium dii gold, which will continue until the authority issuing them can redeem them. ...

THE GAZETTE says tbat "the changeless money is gold." This bein^ sovrill the GAZETTE explain how it hap nened that the Bank of England's rate of discount was advanced../Tom three to ten per cent, in less than three weeks, last fall, there being no panic to bring about this extraordinary fluctuation ?—Express.

The Directors of the Bank of England have the power to regulate the rate of discount. To check the tide of gold flowing from England to America, to accommodate the speculative demand for it iu Wall street j».st previous to, during, and immediately after .the panic, the Directors, as precautionary measure, raised the rate of discount. The error of the Express is in supposing the value of ,rmoney to rife and fall With tluira te of iuterest. If this was so, wlien the rate of discouut was ten per cent., gold was three and a third tirues as 'valuable fts when the rate was three per cent.

THEGAZETTE is in favor of a "speedy return to specie payments." not tbe GAZETTE admit tbat there uevar baa been such a thing as specie payment in this country—never a time when the banks were able to pay coin for their bills-never a time when a panic did not lead to universal suspension and destruction of values? It,must admit all of this, and it should not talk of return to something we never had.—Express.

There never was a time when all the banks could pay coin for all their bills. There have, been plenty of times when banks redeemed their notes in coin, and when they could not, they usually had their doors closed. One of the worst things about the old style of banking consisted in the fact that they were permitted to issue more paper money than they had gold in their vaults to redeem it with. When they failed to redeem, which might happen during a panic, and often did, they were closed, as they ought to have been. They were not allowed to beep up in spite of broken promises. At present, banks do not redeem and do not close. ?,r

TIIEBE is some balm in Gilead, as witnesseth the following advertisement, which the GAZETTE inserts gratis for the Shakers

Wanted—Men, women and children can tind a comfortable home for life, where want never comes, with the Shakers, by embracing tbe true faith and living pure lives. ParticiHar*can be learned by writing to the Shakers, Mount Lebanon, N. Y.

Young men with chills, and in a fever of excitement to be provided for at least until tho spring opens and trade revives, should have no hesitancy in answering this advertisement. If there is hereabouts any mute and inglorious Shaker waiting for an opportunity, we trust he will avail himself of this invitation. If he don't like it he can walk back here, and Terre Haute, just now out of a hero, would idolize a stable specimen of aiv ex-Shaker.

WEARY of much balloting for a Speaker, members of the Iowa Legislature turned thelrattention to poetry. The following resolutions"done" iu verse show the possibilities of the average Hawk Eye Legislator in the role of Byron:

Since we can neither work nor play, Let us adjourn without delay, lioth sine die and sine pay. What tho members did with the resolutions is not definitely known. Some favored taking up the first oue, and still others thought it ought not to be passed.

ONCE upon a time, Gen. Howard gave Pomeroy, of Kansas, a letter certfyiug to his good character as a "Christian statesman." Now, the General wants the compliment return ed. In the meanwhile the Criminal Court, in Kansas", is trying to interest Pomeroy about a little matter of bribing the Legislature, aud Howard is engaged in trying to escape a charge of embezzlement. The Christian statesman and the Christian sol dler, Pomeroy and Howard, are as pe culiar as the two Dromio's. Under the i-iiuuiijniononq. it js pleasant to think that the Rev. ltaukin, or ^vaobiug ton, is engaged in calling down confusion upon the enemies of the Christian soldier.

ALL conflicting reports to the contrary notwithstanding, Col. Dowliug has resigued his position on the Demooratic State Committee. He sent in his resignation on the 1st of January. Unwilling to hold a position, all the duties pertaining to which he could not faithfully perform, and admoninUeLbi? his nh vsrp.ian that be ough t'to had been in the past, of hia health, he sent in his resignation as above stated. His interest in the welfare of his country or State has not, however, diminished onejot or tittle, and all wise measures of reform and good government will yet find in him an earnest champion and advocate,as all bad measures have known him to be a sagacious and powerful foeman..

THE Journal has facts and figures which show that a certain railfoad corrupted the Legislature a certain year. It speaks of its information as being "among other good things it has saved up for Ihe delectation of certain persons."

MATT. CARPENTER disagrees with our Oliver on tbe Lousiana question.

In the mutual distrust of Radical Senators, and that general falling out among the aspirants for the Presidential ,successors ship, it is quite likely the country will ascertain that if justice had prevailed, the present Administration would have fallen. 1

BANKS were in the habit.once of either redeeming their note's in gold or closing their doors. Most people would call that specie payment. The defect in the system was, that more notes were issued than there was gold on hand to redeem theni with. But they did redeem, and these were specie payments. The worst features of the old system are "(copied now in ah exaggerated form. -i

Currency. r-iV.

The continual cry for an increase of the circulating medium, reminds me of one suffering from tbe effects of intoxication. Being unconscious of our real condition, we enjoy tbe ex

mand more of the stimulant. There is natural opposition to the reduction down

aee of values of any kind. Whilst nrina prides are high, the impression pre vails that the country must be proa perous. Of course, tbe speculators in real estate, or anything else, aud

NEQ^OES in the schools ofSullivan are creating greater commotion than the "nigger iri the wood pile." Mr. J.W. Bass,an American citizen of Africau descent, insists that bfs progeny shall have the same school facilities as the white children. This question came op some time since, and was temporarily disposed of, by the employment of an instructor and the use of a separate om, just for the two chips of tbe old block (Bass.) When tbe proportion of the school fund apportioned to the colored children was exhausted, fwhich event occurred [which this week*!, the irrepressible conflict wealth dnriug the last ten years? Are we not a thousand millions more in seemed to have come,but the teachers, to-dav than we were ten years to avoid the issue as long as possible, employed another teacher, and at tb£ir own expense, to teach the ebony cherubs, until the end of the term. Something should be done to

equality 1":

Wall street gamblars, are opposed to depreciation, at least, until they have realized. Tbe "National Banks are opposed to the resumption of specie payments,' because their profits would not then be as excessive as they are now. Under this fictitious credit £system, all kinds of trade and: mercantile business has been over-stimulated, and is far in advance of the productive industry of the country. There must be a stop to this some time. For the last ten years, the balance of trade has been largely against us. As a nation, we are evidently in the condition of an individual,whose expeuditures greatly exceed his income, but who is enabled to keep np appearances and seeming 'prosperity, by borrowing from time to time, to make up the deficiency. It would be interesting, and at the same time ap palling, to see the aggregate amount of indebtedness, foreign and domestic, that has been incurred since the close "of the war. There is nothing so alluring and certain to result in bankruptcy as an irredeemable, depreciated currency and unlimited credit. But what can be done to avert the inevitable crash that must come if this system is continued Politicians like to please the people, and they seem pretty well satisfied with the currency as it is, only they want it a little more so.

As long as we have commercial relations with other nations, we shall import everything that can be sold at a profit, and the peopla will buy as long an they have money or credit It is useless to rail at our extravagance. I can think of but one remedy for this evil, and that is to get down from our unstable elevation as soon as possible, and measure values by the standard of tbe world, which possesses intrinsic, value tbat is not subject to sudden fluctuations. Then we can produce many things that, will bear exportation to foreign markets, and bring the balance of trade in our favor, iustead of against us, as ft is now. Upon a specie basis, undue Speculation and trade will be checked. Bank accommodations would be confined within reasonable limits, and a more healthy tone given to business generally. We see it often asserted tbat the country has never enjoyed a higher degree of prosperity, than since the close of the war, during all of which time we have' had an- inflated, irredeemable circulating-medium. But is it true, that the country has grown in real

debt to-day than we were ten years ago? If we have increased in wealth, where has it come from? Tbe balance of trade has been constantly against us, and bow can nations, more than families, grow In wealth by trading with each other, when consumption lain excess of tbe surplus productions.

It does not follow that there is too little circulation, because a high rate of interest is charged for tbe use of money, but tbe reverse may be true. When wheat is fifty .cents per bushel, the miller must take more toll to get a fair compensation for bis labor, than where it is one dollar per bushel. His profits in a depreciated currency musi be in proportion to the value of tbe article be deals in. The rate of intere&t is too high now, undoubtedly, but tbat is to be attributed in part to the excessive demand for money, for speculative. purposes, but mainly to the want of capital. There is not .a proper distinction made between capital and currency, when paper is tbe circulating medium. From the commencement to the close of the late war, our circulation was increased three hundred nnd fifty per cent., but during that time tne capital of the country was nearly or quite exhausted. Surplus capital is what is needed to reduce the rat£ of interest for the use of money. It ia not paper currency.

We are operating under a stupendous system of credit, and nothing else. Leaving out of view the two and a quarter billions of bonded promises to pay at »ome future day, the Government has issued nearly eight hundred millions of current promises, and upon less than four hundred millions Government bonds, the National banks have matte loans and discounts, receiving promises to pay, of our nine hundred and forty millions of dollars. Surely we are in a most promising condition. Total specie in all the National banks, nineteen million, eight hundred and sixty-eight thousand, four hundred and sixty nine dollars.

It is easy to see how a suspension of specie-payments, and an expansion of paper circulation, operates as a relief to the debtor class of the community. It is simply legalizing the repudiation of a portion of the debt equal to the depreciation of the cur rency. If the Government should start the printing presses to work making legal tenders, a large per cent, of individual indebtedness may very quickly be canceled, but our creditors would not be quite so we!" oft'. There was a necessity for doing this during the late war, but is there any justification now, for thus tamr periug with individual rights

That was a timelyuggestion of Judge Burnet, and the idea should bave consideration elsewhere. Vigo county has had huge postmortem bills allowed, aud many rejected even more unreasonable. Bills for $7o $100, and even $150, seem out of all reason, even to meet "professional" pride and "professional" avarice. There is no reason why the "learned professions," as they are called, should take all that the people can raise by taxation. "FEES."

I caunot say how this is, but I wish to say that the Democratic party of this portion of the State are anxious to have the right kind of a Dem ocrat in his place. I do not know whose duty it is to appoint his sue cessor, but I am told that the menu bers of the committee have the right do not intVn5*V~ cfof!

Editors Evening Gazette The following item I find in the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Judge Burnet, Presiding Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, yesterday morning stated in joint, session that the attention of the Court had been called to the subject of allow ance of physicians' fees for post mor teni examination. There bad been he said, no definite rule upon the sub ieet, and bills bad been presented for various amounts, and 'as it seemed proper that some definite amount should be fixed, hereafter not more than $25 would be allowed for any sach examination, unless the circumstances should be special, and then it would only be allowed upon consultation with the Judges, and if they thought proper on the hearing of evidence on the subject.

YTAOTS AND ACTS

since tbat have confirmed my faith. The action of a majority of our Democratic members of Congress has strongly helped me in this opinion. Had the State convention been held, we would and should bave laid down our commendation and disapproved of the salary grab so strongly tbat those men who say they are Democrats in Congress would have felt and known too that their acts were condemned by their own party. I hold bad this been done it would not have been so likely tbat Hon. W. S. Holman and Hon. S.-8. Cox would b«ve been all tbe Democrats in Congress who bad tbe nerve and sense to refuse to vote for Fernando Wood. If the State Central Committee should see proper to fill Col. Dowling's place by a Democrat from this portion of the State, tbe party here desire to be understood as wanting none in bis place but a true-blue, old-fashioned Democrat.

H« Has Not Withdrawn from the Executive Committee of Ilia Party—A Conclusive Statement.

Sf* uu.

To the Editor, An editorial in to-day's Sen tin bj directs attention to a communication p. from Terre Haute, signed "H.," a a 3 Dowling has resigned hia place o:i the Democratic* State Committee. Upon this assumption you compliment Col. Dowling very properly, because of his "sterling good sense,"» "spirit of independence," while you. correspondent seems to denstind the appointment of Colonel Diwling's place of a Democrat possessed of some other qualifications than good sense and independence—that is, one who favored holding the Democratic State Convention for the present year, on the 8tb of la±?t January, Possibly the writer inay b« able to rectify an error into which you and your correspondent seem to lave fallen. Col. Dowling has not. dissolved his connection with the Democratic State Central Com mittee, and, inasmuch as the Committee will hold but one more session prior to tbe next Democratic and Liberal State Convention, it is not at all probable that he will do so. Whatever he mav have intended some weeks ago, Col. Dowliug is still a member of the State Committee.

He is m"ore than that he is the member of theNatioual Democratic Executive Committee representing Indiana, and is in full accord with tbe leading Democrats of the State and nation, and will abide the ituly expressed will of the party uuder all circumstances. No better or more earnest Democrat lives than Col. Dowling. The only matter of difference between Col. Dowling and any portion of the Democracy of Indiana arose between himself and some of l*is immediate neighbors upon the subject of our next State convention. Col. Dowling was individually in favor of a convention nextsummer, but the sentiment of his section beiug for the 8th of January, he felt bound, to vote in favor of that day, and so expressed himself in debate. But he stood solitary and aloue, every other member of the committee beiug in favor of a later day. Because he did not sue* seed in securing tbe convention on the 8th of January, and being known to entertain private opinions unfavorable to that date, he was misunderstood at home. This explanation is due to a brave and true Detnocrafc, which Col. Dowling is. From

His Retirement from Activo Work. lo the Editor of the Sentinel: SIR: Your correspondent in this morning's Sentinel is right in saying that I am yet a member of the Democratic Central Committee. My res-, ignatlon was forwarded to Colonel Alvord, the Chairman, on the 81st of December, but that gentlemen had left home for New York before it reached him. The letter is in the custody of the Secretary, and he,will give it such direction at the proper time, as will bring It before those who have a right to fill the vacancy. Col. Whittiesy, the Secretary of the Committee had full permission from me to hold tne letter till the meeting in March. That meeting must end my membership, as my health and other engagements unfit me for the active duties of the place. THOS. DOWLING.

Columbia's Contribution. From the New York Tribune. The distinguished American statesman whom Dickens so picturesquely described as kindly forwarding a pamphletful of his eloquence to Queen Victoria, is quite outdone by the Cranberry Growers' Association of New Jersey. The ambitions society has immortalized itself by sending to that royal lady two whole packages of cranberries—expressage paid, doubtless—aud also divers recipes for tbe preparation of the same in the American methods. This is the sort of thing calculated to enrich and deepen the friendship between two noble nations, to blend their interests and cultivate good feeling generally. To the common language and the common literature Is now added a bond of union in the form of the tart and agreeable cranberry, contributed by Columbia with a generous disregard of natural prejudice against an effete form of govern-

It would seem that Mr. Kelley's ridiculous plan for "interconvertible bonds" is as near dead as it can be. Both committees of the House having charge of financial subjects have rejected it. But such things die hard. This is a project for inflation very thinly disguised. It will be held in reserve oy tbe inflationists to be brought forward when bolder forms of contrivacna for the same end are rejected. We hope, there--fore, that it wJl! be very closely watched, and tbat whenever and wherever it shows itself it will be promptly opposed. If Congress cannot make up its mind to go toward a sound system of finanee, let everything be done to at least prevent its getting further away from one.
