FWM the New York Tribuiig of Fri 3 a last *ve take the following editorial paragraph relating to the proceedings of tlie coivvpntion which nominated Ben. Butler for Governor:" "At least the Massachusetts Greenback P"rtJ ^asfccme idea cf consistency and some sensitiveness to ridieule. Thi»
would rather
much of an absurdity to begin an attack upon civilization with prayer. These Butler men see, and are not ashamed to acknowledge, tnat the society which they aim to ettablish is utterly inconsistent with the principles of Christianity, and with that respect for individual rights and foi personal freedom which the Divine Master taught to an astonished world. They are seeking to take us back into the.darkness of Pagan barbirism, to destroy the liberty wherewith Christ hath made as f:ee and they do well to dispense with religious exercises.''
BEGINNING with Monday the United States Treasury will receive greenbacks at par for silver. As silver is receivable for cuslom dues and can be bought for greenbpeks on equal terms, it is evident that the custom house will cease to receive gold so long as there is the slightest ^/premium:f-on This increased u*e of silver wiil haye tendency areciste vzla while the diminished uses to which gold must be put will correspondingly serve to diminish its value. It is to be hoped that the two will come to an exact equal ity in '.his way. If they do not they mus be made equal in the only way in which thev can be, viz by changing the amount of metal in them, unless, indeed, we wish to have a single standard.
The cheaper or.e will drive out the dearer. All financial history teaches that.
Another thing is noticeable. This payment of silver for greenbacks on demand is specie payments. Beginning witii to-day the country stands on the solid rock of specie with the "dollar of the dads" at the base of the pyramid Soecie payments have been resumedWe have not had to wait for the nt o*
January, 1879.
THE Nationals are beginning to advo. cate the cause of Greenbacks again. The more intelligent, see what nonsense it i» to talk about absolute paper money, liat paper dollar, never to he redeemed or paid, but set afloat among the people and when once in their hands ,to depreciate under the immutable .laws of the commerce of the world,
There is no relief or safety for the whole people, the poor and the rich, unless the circulating medium whether of paper, silver or gold, all have the same purchasing power. The dolla1" of the plow-holder should be as good ^as the dollar of the bond holder.
Another reason why the Vigo Count? Nationals now cry Greenbacks, instead of absolute paper money, is fr the fac* that the so-called Nationals of Maine and the East, do not advocate such nonsense, but boldly contend for the fighting dollar —the legal tender greenback money. The great Democratic party is almost unit, for the legal. tender notes as the «u\jRcr, juiu mat vj DeiSSUCd by the general government only, and be lieve that paper money should consist ex clusively of notes issued by the government with such legislation as would cause them to be fully equal in value to the specie dollar, under all circumstances and throughout all time. And to this end should be a full legal tender
THE FARRAGUT PRIZE MONEY. General Boynton, the reliable Wash itlgton correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, 'writes to that paper some inter esting information in reference to what is known as "The Farragut Prize Money." Ofie B. F. Butler will be found to haVe been mixed up with it in just the way he might have been expected to be. General Boynton aavs .-4*?
General [Butler has furnished the country with what he terms an explanation of how he came to take some scores of thousands of dollars from the officers sailors and seamen who captured *New Orleans. This Butlerian explanation does not tell how much he received of the $142,000 taken, but does declare that he would have taken twice as much if he could have got it. This part of the staters (this worst enemy would not be reckles enough to deny.
Two items are known in Washington as to the proportion of rhe$ 142,000 that two lawyers received who did very much, if not the most, of the hard work cf the case, which items afford a basis from which to estimate the 6ize ot Butler's grab. One of those gentltmen received $3000, the other $1,500.
But there are other things than the question of dividing the spoils of the treasury, and the money of sailors, connected with this case, which Gen. Butler, fresh from his great hunt for fraud, does not allude toby so much as a hint.
THE
As is well known, the fleet of Admiral Porter co-operated with that of Admiral Farragut in the capture of New Orleans. General Butler, who from his first appearance in Congress exhibited great skill i:i causing his service for his*con6titutents to subserve his personal inifefegti as & lawyer, and his personal hatreds as a man, .undertook the Fairrgut prize case both as a representative and as a lawyer. In the nr&t capacity he introduced a bill, which was reierred to the House Committee on the judiciary, providing for the adjudication of the New Orleans case.
Every man of honor would suppose that a representative, professing to be wholly devoted to the interests of all who served the Union in the war of the rebellion, as Butler did profess with the voice and publicity of a pharisee, would have been extremely careful to so frame his bill as to include in its benefits all the brave men who risked their lives in the expedition. Yet this is exactly what he was exceedingly careful not to do, and with that devilish ingenuity for evil which marks his works, he so drew his bill as to shutout Porter'sentire fleet. The bill had a harmless look. It gave prize a-.id head money to all i.. the Union fleet which passed certain forts in the apture of New Orleans on the day of
I EKKE HAUTE
the attack. Simply because Butler introduced it, members of the judiciary committee suspected some trick, and sent it the Navy Department for report. A note caine back with the information that it excluded Porter and all under him, since his fleet remained below the forts named, and there carried on their bombardment.
Thus, as was believed by all knowing to the case at this stage, Butler, for the purpose of gratifying his old grudges against Admiral Porter, dating back to *he days of Fort Fisher and the powder boat, deliberately worded his bill so as to exclude thousands of brave men who fought under Porter from all participation in the rewaids of their gallantry. Such is Butler's pract'cal love for "our noble tars." His trick was detected, and his project was finally beaten after he had tried it again before the courts.
There are other tacts of which his'Recalled explanation gives no intimation. Two of the ships on account of which he h-id helped to take money out of the treasury, had previously been decided prizes of war in other courts, and the Hettlement made therefor at the treasury. For three of them Admiral Farragut had in writing released all cl.iim for prize, and the ships had been returned to their owners. One ship had been purchased by the government for $40,000, and for one which was lost the government had paid about $30,000. Several ships accounted under Butler's care as present at New Orleans at the time of the capture were never there until some months after the occupation of the city by the Union troops. These facts appear in detail in the government history of the war in the Department of Justice.
The Attorney-General had collected evidence upon the above and similar points, by which he expected, had it been introduced, to save the government $6oo 000. But, by an ingenious drafting of terms of arbitrament, quite as skillful as the form by which it WPS hoped to 6hut Porter's fleet out, much of the evidence was rejected, and Butler marched on undisturbed to his technically legal spoils. It scarcely requires the "blaze of a,microscope" to reveal the true char acttr of such transactions as those."
ADVICE TO GREENBACKERS. In a speech delivered at Sidney, Ohio the other day, General Durbin Ward, one of the sound Democrats of the Buckey State made some .suggestions on the finance Question so perti nent that we clthhot refrain from repro ducing them. He was referring t® the aims of the F:at partyites, their prospects and principles, arid said:
Therefore you must then, my national friend, displace one of the two parties if, you would succeed. It is a necessity ofyour position. And which one do you think" you can destroy? Can you destroy the democratic organization? Can you do what none of its other rivals haye been able to Jo during nearly a century of struggle? Verily, you can not. The democratic party will be coequal with republic itself. If you drive either party from the field, it must be the republicans And from the very nature of things do nw occ mam you aia tnat the mass of the republicans would join the democrats, and you would bs little stronger than you are? True, a few democrats of extreme views and a few republicans of like viewb might join you, but every possible accession would leave vou in a hopeless minority. But you may answer that if your views are correct you will finally win. And that brings us to the discussion of what you want. What dj you demand? What are your principles? Because parties can not when* new achieve success, except on what are thought at least to be principles, and can not live long after their principles are dead. Perhaps you answer that the present evils grow out of bad currency legislation, and you demand currcncy reform. Yeu demand he overthrow or the national banking system. So it The democracy will give you that in du time but a wheat crop cannot be raised a month, nor a monetary eystem successfully changed in a year. Policies grow—are not built like cob-house# Perhaps you want greenbacks put in the place of national notes. Very well, or ill. as any one may think but our platform offers you that.
At last the national greenbacker, with Sam Cary as his spokesman, steps boldly to the front and demands that greenbacks shall take the place of all outstanding bonds. He demands illimitable irredeemable issues. He insists on "fiat money." He claims that the government, by tome mysterious sovereign magic, can give illimitable valqe to printed paper. Unfortunately, no such official ajcheray exists, or else Aladdin's lamp, in the "Arabian Nights" would be a lame, commonplace fact unworthy a schoolboy's admiration. I£ or its "fiat," the government could create a thousand millions of value, it could by the same token create five hundred thousand millions. The whole property of tiie United States is not worth fifty thousand uulliohb in go.d, and so, it this necromancy of Cary would "pan out" in the working operation of the machinery,our ruler* could buy up all the property in tne nauon and have fuu.~ hundred and fif ty thousand millions left to carry on their conquests abroad, until, like Alexander, they would have to sigh because there were no .nore worlds to conquer, unless, indeed they could take unto themselves the wings of the morning and fly not only to the uppermost regions- of illimitable space, where their illimitable issues would find scope and verge enough" to

fifty thousand millions of raere fiia 'r* more
redeemable paper issues would buy more wheat, or houses, or gold, than one thousand millions? If 60 the experience of the world, then, is a fable, and the history of the assignats, and mandates, of revolutionary*fame, the South sea scheme, t.he continental money, the confederate money, and our own late overissues are a bald fiction. But if it be true that the issue of irredeemable paper money cannot be unlimited without 'depreciating its purchasing power, then there must be a limit somewhere or it cannot buy as much per dollar as gold coin. You must concede that there must be a limit to such issues somewhere, and that the limit must be fixed by somebody and on some plan. The democrat, ic party offer* you a rational greenback a value greenback a convertible, hardmoney greenback, a greenback dollar that will buy as much as a gold dollar* and your leaders offer you one that would not buy twenty cents on the dol lau There are now more than eighteen hundred millions of interest-bearing bonds outstanding. Waving all question of the right to do so, does anyone believe that if they were recalled and greenbacks issued in their place such new issue would only be one-halj per cent, discount? Why, you might make them receivable for customs and all public dues you might declare them legal tender you might even demonetize gold and silver by law, and still they could not by ary possibility be worth their face in the bullion price of wheat, and perhaps, not a filth of their fnde( for commerce in self-defense would be compelled to abandon money and barter its commodities for bullion, by weight. The Democrats oppose nation al banHs and favor greenbacks, but they are greenbacks whose value shall be secured by the national.limitation of their volume. And, mark my word, you will never get any other. If you succeed in defeating the Democratic greenback you may deliver the country over to the tender mercies of national bankers, but you can never bring the country to adopt your wild scheme of inflation. It is not founded in common sen3e. It is a delu oicn id a srta- which may lead you awav from your natural ^home in the
Democratic party, but it.yyill never win the country nor bring you to political success.
ft, The Democratic party, guilty of faults though it may sometimes have been, is the great party of the people. In its arms the people are 6afe. Its time-hon-ored doctrines and organization allow the fullest development of social tendencies and religious ideas, and demand nnt-hi-nir nf mpmhfir! lexceoLthat what belongs to politics shall be subject to political action with what lies outside of that action it never interferes. Finally^ I invoke this third party, in all its shades of opinion, to combine with the Democracy, and, by abandoning the vagaries which mislead some of the members, help us to build up, strengthen, pepetuate a great liberal party full of the elementg of progress, and anchored in the broad idea of "liberty, equality, and fraternity."
THE DOINGS OF. A MOB. The telegraphic report in Tuesday's GAZETTE gave the particulars of the capture by a mob of the hall at Worcester, Mass., in which the Democratic State Convention was to have been held. This mpb, otganized, controlled and paid for by Butler, broke into the hall at a little after 5 o'clock in the morning, and held their ground all day, excluding the regular delegates* Unfortunately the Mayor of Worcester did'not have the nerve to disperse the the bruisers whom Butler and his henchmen had gathered together, and so, for lack of a meeting place, the committee was compelled to declare the convention postponed. The address of the Democratic Central Committee is as follows: To the Democrats of Massachusetts:
Whereas, A delegate convention of the democrats of Massachusetts for the nomination of candidates for state officers was called by the state central committee of the democratic party to be held at Worcester this day, and,
Whereas, It is found at the hour oi as tiemblage of said convention that Me chauics' ball, the hall engaged by the committee for holding the convention, is in the posession of a mob publicly annouiicu.g itself as acting in the interest of Benjamin F. Butler, which entered the hall by stealth and by force, iby ladders, through windows and breaking doors and, vVnereas, The mayor of Worcester informs said committee by letter, a copy of which is heretp appended, that auid hall can not be cicared and placed within control of said cammittce without force and probably bloodshed now, therefore, the state committee of the Democratic party oi
Massachusetts, believing that said 'contention can not with safety be held this da/ at Wrocester, and declaring the right of free and peaceful assemblage of all deliberative bodie»gathered for political purposes as the foundation principle of all democratic action, do hereby de dare and proclaim said convention called to be holden at Worcester, postponed to meet at Faneuil hall, Boston, on Wednesday, September 25, at 11 A. M.
Under this call, the convention, which never assembled at all yesterday, will meet next Wednesday at Fanueil Haf Boston, where an ample police force will secure the delegates from the violence
ioaaltype,do you really believe that any mob Butler and his gang of bruisers
and shoulder hitters may gather together.
It i-, of course, a matter of humiliation nd shame that a Democratic convention hiuld be broken up in this way. But it should not be forgotten that it was broken up, not captured. The hoadlums who held possession of thd ha'l and went
y.i
through the firm of- no ninating a ticket, with"-' Butler at the head, and adopting a platform, no more represents the Democratic party of Massachusetts, and declares its principles, than any gang whom Kearney might gather togethar on the sand lots of San Francisco, might represent them. The whole significance of the affair is that a convention of orderly citizens was broken up by a mob, organized by, and in the interest of Benjamin F. Butler, who will lose nothing in reputation by this outrage, because he had already sunk beneath the contempt of de cent and honest men.

OBITUARY.
THOMPSON'—Monday, September 16, 1S78, after an illness of twelve days. Cl i^a M., y^ung-st daughter ot R. L. and Mary .T. Thompson.
Funernl sorvicss will bo hold on Thursday, September 19, ai. 8 p. ., at tne family residence, corncr Fourth and Poplar streets.
It seems almost like pro'.anation, when sbe is cold in death, to life the veil which screened froir. public view the character of a young woman whose 'modesty forbad "the expression of respect and admiration which her noble qualities of mind and heart inspired in ail who knew her. And yet for one who knew her well to bear witness before all the world to her manifold virtues, seems a duty which may not be lefc un done. It cannot harm the dead, and it mav 6olace the living to voice the griff which chokes their utterance at a loss which may not be repaired this side of the tomb—at a loss which adds to the lengthening list that finally makes the living look forward to that other and better world beyond this, as a place wherfe one's friends are, and it is good to be.
A woman's destiny is wrought out within the sacred precincts of the family or of the social circle.
It is the center from which radiates the light that makes life bright and beautiful and worth the living. In it is nttr tured and sustained the virtues which bweeten existence, purify the moral atmosphere and make smooth to tired feet the otherwise weary pathways* of this world.
She, of whom this writing is, rind on whose bier these broken gariands of grief wet withr tears are cast, was the pride and hope of a Christian household. What more can be said! A dutiful .daughter and an affectionate sister cheerful, contented, unselfish, what a treasury of precious gifts these words convey
Faithful in all things, resolute ever frail in body, but stout of heart with a full measure of moral courage and a loity purpore in right thinking and right act-# ing—these were the qualities of her who" is dead.
The death cf a person so endowed proves immortality by rendering it impossible of belief Uia^8UQ^„attrihut,e 1
Cast as rubb:sh to the veld.
When God hath made the pile complete.
In the larger circle surrounding the family she was no less admirable. De voted to her church, 6he taught to youthful minds in the Sunday school, and instilled in youthful hearts that abhorrence of whatever was mean, and that pride in whatever was worthy and of good repute which had been a lamp to her own feet This teaching, and her unfaltering faith in the promises of eternal life, live after her, and will keep her memory green forever among those whose high privilege it was to enjoy her friendship.
In nothing did her character show better or brighter than in her sensitiveness to distress. Suffering she was keenly alive to, and she possessed that fine sense of honor which could appreciate mental anguish. Her highest pleasure was in secretly ministering to want, so that the pride of those who were broken in resources, but not in spirit, might not be wounded. Many who have been helped and knew not how or by -whom have lost in her an unobtrusive, but true and faithful friend.
When this earth, at its best, and it was a good on" to her, made so by de voted relatives and scarcely less devoted friends—when this earth is compared with that other world to which her spi. it has winged its early flight, it seems al most sacrilege to wish her back. Ours is the loss htrs the gain, according to the Scripture by which she lived and with full faith in the promises of which she died, for it was the Master that said: ''Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall 6ee God"
