Tlie New York Herald's Washington cofFeSphdefiF; whais not possessed of half the goot feeling toward the boutn that the Herald itself . is. denounces quite rotihdiy Hliose 'Southern vDemO cratic Congressmen .who oppose Sena tor Bayard's Resolution for tho repeal of the legal. teuoer jrjuanty ot, tne green backs. The epithet. "Southern infla tionists" is applied to them,, while their desire for the delay of the going into operation of this resolution is remark ed, and the ground of the opposition in dicated is summarized and analyzed as follows: Now, it cannot be that they urge de lay because they fear to lose any South ern State or district by supporting the immediate repeal 01 legal tender, bome Western men, Republicans as well as Democrats, set up this plea with a show of justice; but no Southern man pre tends to any fear that the South will not be solid for the Democratic party, no matter on what platform or who is the candidate. There must be, there fore, some other reason for their oppo sition to the Uayard resolution, and there is one reason which undoubtedly moves some of them. They want to secure opportunity for a new inflation They believe tnat tne .Democratic par ty will elect the next president, and they hope that the winter of 1881 will "In that case eive ihem such control in the legislative and. executive branches as will enable them to begin a huge watering of the currency,' by means of which to pay pff old debts and to set afloat some tremendous schemes for Southern internal improvements. It would not be fair or proper to say that the Southern men who entertain those hopes and ideas mean general repudia tion, including a huge scaling of the na .tlorial debt but it is not improper to point out that whatever determination exists anywhere in the South to do this thing lurks behind those Southern re presentatives and Senators who are now ranging themselves in opposition to Mr, Bayard's resolution, and they cannot complain if they are held responsible for tha consequences of their acts. Saul among the prophets ! A veritable mare's nest J A feeble flapping of the re- pudiatioa banner which will hardly de- ceivfe tKiybody who thinks! The expedi ency of the immediate passage of this resolution of Mr. Bayard is a matter upon which Congressmen may very pro perly differ. Some may favor and oth ers oppose the resolution, and both par ties may be equally conscientious. Cer tainly the whip cannot be used to any purpose in this case, and neither the fear disarming the North or of displeas ing Mr. Charles Nordoff will induce Southern Congressmen to consent to be led around by the nose by that talented gentleman. BismncK OS PEACE. The steady and surprising prosperity of . this country since the terrible troubles which resulted from the civil war culminated in the panic of 1S73, should convince the most bilious pes simist that peace is by far the grandest blessing which can fall to any nation. The great fighter and uneasy diplomatist, Prince Bismarck, knows this better than most men, and the opinion of "a man of war from his youth up," gnd one who has "trod tl.e w$ s of gloy" and studied war and fpeaje ill alf; their relations, is worth more tlfiln the silly carpings of those who have never drawn a sword and s:arcely comprehend the elementary principles of political economy Bis marck advocating an agreement of the great powers of Europe on a peace poli cy, affirms that a partial disarmanent is the only remedy for the prevailing depression in finances and the miseries of the people fn various countries Too much money is spent on armies, atift4,pXifflb ? the alleviation of the W1F113I Vich lhe PPle grtfan j ?Jiis ktbe'case with England, WfiGfeeJ )ltinit)Hcv has drained' fjho frfesufaM dWivpled the thoughts of j statesmen to the neglect of the lower classes Vthej English and the Irish ttoautry.

Yorktown. Referred to the committee on library,. Hoar presented a petition or citizens asking the appointment of. a labor com mission, lteterred to tne committee on education and labor. The resolution introduced by Davis, of West Virginia, reported yesterday from the committee on agriculture, in structing the agricultural committees ol both houses to consider tne suoject of agriculture and report what ought to be done by the government to promote agricultural . interests, was adopted. The Senate proceeded to consider the pension appropriation bill, and it was passed. The senate took up voorheess reso lution for the appointment of a com mittee to investigate the causes ot ne gro emigration irom tne boutn, and Voorhees spoke upon it. The taking up by the senate ot V oor- hees' resolution for the appointment of a committee to investigate the negro exodus from the South led to a long and aaimated debate, which occupied most of the afternoon. Voorhees says it was desirable to know whether the exo dus was or was not caused as alleged by unjust political treatment of negroes in the South. Indiana did not wish to be colonized by negroes any more than Calitornia wished to he colonized by Chinese. He considered Mr. Win- dom's amendment providing for in quiry with regard to setting apart sep arate territories for negro colonist pre mature; better let it rest on its own discretion with regard to such suggest ions. After a brief defence by Mr. Win- dom of his amendment, Hill, of Georgia, said he was tired of these Congressional investigations. The negro exodus would settle itself. Talk about causes of move ment was gammon. The negroes were contented in direct proportion to the time the Southern States had been freed from carpet-bag rule. The number of colored school children in Georgia would orobablv reach ninety thousand this year and the tax books showed that the colored people of that State own more than five million dollars in real property. The discontent among ne groes was in the unthrifty and worth- ess classes who were worked upon bv designing men. He had doubted the capacity of the blacks to become good citizens, but was glad to admit they lad done better than was expected. They had found out that their old mas ters, instead of being their worst ene mies, as they had been told, were their ! best friends. He would not, however, , further oppose the resolution than to depreciate it on general principles. The vote was then taken on Win dom's amendment, which was rejectedri Hill and Garland voting witli the Re-1 publicans. The debate was then re sumed. Ransom, of North Carolina, said he voted against the amendment befianse it contained the unjust assumption that the negroes had to be ill-treated hv whites. To show that this was not the case he quoted ex-Gov. Holden, Hon. R. L. .badger and several Republicans of the State, representatives and promi nent colored citizens of North Carolina, who declared the colored people of that State had not been unfairly dealt with. Ransom thought the Southern treat ment of the negroes would compare favorably with Northern treatment of nuians. Uue race was visiblv anrl rapidly improving and the other was disappearing from the earth. ll oar, ot Massachusetts, asked if the negroes were well treated in the South why they were emigrating to an inhos- pitabie climate. n, -.; Ransom asked in return, why . if " a people were well treated iitt Massachu setts, they were emigrating to Tennes see. Iftrre cause was oppression in one case, why not in another? Ransom thought the exodus was due to misren- resentations of various people, perhaps vi Duuio iieuuuuuan nenamrs ha weld-4ik toknow why-the fxrlored emigrants had been diverted from Kan (saftd Indiana! ,:S f -" !

The memorial to Oongress in favor of the bill to abolish tlie legal-tender quality of the greenback currency has been largely signed in Philadelphia. The New York members of Congress, of both parties, look with disfavor on the recently suggested project for divid ing that State into districts f(r the choice of presidential electors. Cyrus H. McCormick, of Chicago, a Democrat of Tilden sympathies, says in an interview that Tilden is "in the hands of his friends," but shows a readi ness t) withdraw in favor of some other hard-money man, which he has never before monifested. Mr. McCormick suggests Bayard as the coming man. In connection with the proposition to retire the greenbacks the following is quoted from a letter of President Buchanan, dated the 10th ot December, 1861 : "I never expected to see the day when the Federal government would assume the power of issuing a paper currency, much less of making it a le gal-tender." THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. A Grand Railroad Scheme--'I lie Jud ges Not Yet Elected. Richmond, December 18 A bill was "introduced in the Senate to-day bv Mr, i uikerson to incorporate the Richmond & Southwestern Railway Company to extend irom some point on the south eastern boundary line of Kentucky to and through the city of Richmond to tide water in the State of Virginia. It is claimed that the incorporators pro pose to expend $50,000,000 in Virginia in the construction of the road and the development of the mineral and other resources of the Southern part of the State. This enterprise is alleged to be under the auspices of Boston capitalists exclusively. No progress was made to-dav in the General Assembly in tlie election of the county judges, although a number of candidates had been selected by the Readjusters in caucus last night. The delay was due to some demoralization among the members of the dominant party, arising Irom dissatisfaction with several oi the caucus nominees. A res olution was therefore adopted postpon ing uie joiuc oruer until to-morrow. In the meantime a caucus of Readius- ters will be held to-night. Evervthintr win oe sec rignt and work -11 l i ...

The distillers would not have made and barrelled 71,892,621 gallons of whis key and other such fiery potables during the last fiscal year, if they had not had an intelligent confidence in their ability to find customers at paying prices. It is a slight f elfef to know "that 15,000,000 gallons or so were sent across the seas to fire the brains and gnaw the stomachs of the effete despots and their subjects ; but, even, with this deduction, there was left on hand the enormous quanti ty of! 56,898,000 gallons (in round num bers) of whiskey and its congeners for home consumption.

London, Dec. 18. The details of the last Chilian victory state that the allied force of Peruvians and Bolivians.11,000 strong, marching northwards from Noiid to effect a junction with a re-in-forcement 5,000 men under command of the president of 1 Bolivia, were at tacked on the 21st of November, by a Chilian advanced corps of 6,000 men who occupied an intrenched position at Dolores near Aqua Santa. The Chilians heavy cannon committed great ravages among. the ranks of the enemy whose cavalry charged three times up on the guns and attempted "to carry them, but their efforts on each occasion were unsuccessful. In the evening, the rear of the Chilian force came up and decided the day. The allied forces were driven back, and their camp taken in which thirteen cannon were found. Many wounded officers, including the Bolivian Villegas, were- taken prison ers and another of the allied generals killed. The losses of the Chilian forces were heavy. n Aid of the Deserving-. Farmer and Mechanic. Maj. Robert Bingham, of the celebra ted school which tears his father's and grand-father's honored name, seems to unite to scholastic ability, qualities of practical utility and energetic personal usefulness in a rare degree. From his pamphlet we learn that his proposal to a wealthy gentlemen to lend the sum of $65, at 6 per cent, interest, to deserving voung men (of the lender's selection), to be paid from the first money which the recipient of the favor shall earn, has been accepted by the following, viz: W. T. Blackwell, Win. Grimes, John Nichols, Gov. Jarvis, Judge McKay, Rev. Dr. Wilson. D. G. Worth, and Mai. C. M. Stead in an, of Wilmington, Dr. M. r. feavage, ot Scotland Neck, Dr. N. J J'ltnian, ot Tarboro, Jesse II. Lindsay, of Greensboro. Major Wm. A. Smith, of Princeton, and Geo. W. Swepson. The $65 will pay $1 per month for quarters, unu -lurnisu ooard in a successful messing club for a school year." Under the circumstances and conditions set iortn, tne plan must do great good. The student gets the aid without losing his self-respect, and if he be of the right timber he will be spurred with a proud desire to show his benefactor how quickly ne can discharge the debt.
