Hereafter, visitors to the Oapitol niuht look for the telegraphic office, within an interior fortress, enclosed in walls so thick that electric sounds will not pass through for the benefit of lien., nor even pierce the ears of Mr. Pierce, of Boston. The expansion of the currency to 400,000,000, or, us called by thote opposed to it, 'inflation," has raised a great conflict of opinion between the leading newspapers of tho country. The increase of the circulating medium is viewed by tho West us tinanciiil salvation, but by the Kant a stop toward "repudiation" and ruin. It certainly is in direct opposition to tho pledges of President Grant and tho Republican party to return to a specie payment as speedily as possible. The time for tho substitution of coin for paper currency ia indefin- itely po?tponed and made more difficult to reach, and the credit of the oountry abroad will not bo at all improved by this financial measure. Lut the question naturally arista nmong those who think : Is gold necessarily the only, or true basis for the national currency t If we return to specie payments, wo can neither eat, drink, or clothe oursulves with the so called "precious" metal. Is not gold itself used to represent si much of the necessaries, comforts and luxuries of life ? And if bo, why not mako these articles themselves the basis for the circulating medium ? In this case, paper or leather would do as well as gold, and the nation's aggregate productions, which are Us absolute wealth, would be the foundation for our financial system, instead of asinglo metal which is onlyasmall pnrt of its resources.

The following resolutiou was introduced into the House of Representatives, a few day ago, by Mr. Pierce, of BosUcn. ton: IJLTtIIi:K IIUIll&lKL. Spain is about to show her appreciation of tho Rcrvice of Gen. J3ur-rie- l, the butcher of Santiago, who slaughtered the gallant captain of the Viryiniuit, with a whole host of her crew and passengers. In "recognition of bis eminent s rvices in Cuba," so says the telegraph, tho Spanish Goveruuieut intends to make this wholesale UMunain a Field Marshal.

EDITORIAL IIEMPOX.NI. Ill LIT Y. For the considerat ion of those who thiuk they have a right to rush into a newspaper office and peremptorily ask, "who put that piece in?" We tho following: The law holds a newspaper respon clip sible for its editorial utterances, and in such a case it has no right to go behind its published article and demand of the editor who gave h m his information. The nrist is not to make compelled public what is revealed to him in the confessional, nor the lawyer what his chont discloses to him in a professional character, and an editor should hav.e the same protection, nt least when he represents a responsible establishment. Hi is rule is absolutely necessary to the proper independence of the press, and is just alike to tho newspaper and tho pub'ic. Steulinville Her ald, " . "Whereas certain disreputable porsoua have heretofore been able to secure telegraphic dispatches which tbey not ouly did not pay for, but which did not belong to them, thereby impeding public business aud interfering with private rights; therefore, bo it "Jicsohed that the architect of the capitol be, and is hereby instructed to incloso tho telegraph stands In this building so that outsiders cannot hear tho aouud of the instruments." This Congressional shot rns fired straight at tho straight eye of the Hon. B. B. The reason of the resolution was that whilo the njnta tion over tho Sinnnous contest was at its highest, Butler obtained information, telegraphed to those who wcro opposed to Simmon's appointment, before tboso gentlemen received it themselves. The astute hero of New Orloaus, it is said, had agents posted near tho telegraph stands who could "read by Bound," and, as fast as messages ou the Simmons subject were ticked oflf, the news was communicated to their wily chief, who shaped his measures accordingly, and achieved a victory over his opponents, whilo they wer amazed at his of their boasts Butler that plans.

Tho good work accomplished by this society is per haps not generally appreciated. The burden of the labor, as is generally the case, has rested upon the shoulders of a few. Fifteen young men at tho most have sustained the association, and paid the expenses of the lectures. Their efforts to pro7ide entertainment for the young people of this city are worthy of all praise, and the good results accruing are of the most gratifying nature. llecognizing the folly of excessive indulgence of the everlasting dance the only recreation of a great many of our young folks, tlcse young men determined to try and turn the current of amusement for the winter in In a more profitable direction. addition to their own meetings for debate, they arranged for a course of lectures, free to the public, and procured tho services of some of .the most talented speak the three days meeting ; W.

And where would be all the great enterprises pf this wonderful age, were it not for judiciously expended wealth ? It is the "love of money," or rather the lust after it, which, as the ancient apostle said, "is the root of all evil."
