London, July 23.?Rev. Dr. McCosh,
President of Princeton College, presided
over the Presbyterian Council. He made
a speoch, in wqich he eloquently traced
the progress of tho idea in favor of
union. He described his original sug?
gestion nt Philadelphia in regard to it,
and tho oordial reception of the scheme
in America which culminated in tho suc?
cess of 1873, when a mcoting of the
Evangelical Alliance, such as was only
possible in tho United States, was held.
This led to a conference between distin?
guished men, who declared the accom?
plishment of the scheme one of tho de?
sires of their hearts. With regard to a
constitution, he might say that the Coun?
cil had agreed to take the consensus of
the Reformed Church, The objects of
the alliance were settled. The Council
would consider the question of the gen?
eral interest of the community, soek the
welfare of weak and oppressed churches,
collect and distribute information about
the church, and en tor tain all subjects
connected with tho work of evangeliza?
tion. Resolutions favoring the alliance
were unanimously passed.
London, July 23.?A protest, placed by
Mr. Plimsall on tho table of the House of
Commons hist night, is published. In
it Plimsall says: "I protest, in the name
of God, against the delay of the shipping
bill. Although the bill itself is an atro?
cious shame, there is enough humanity
and knowledge in the House to. chango
it into a good measure." He denounces
the present laws against breach of con?
tract, whioh leave sailors who have un?
knowingly agroed to sail in unseaworthy
shins, the alternative of the gaol or death,
and continues: "I charge the Govern?
ment with wittingly and unwittingly
playing into the hands of the maritime
murderers inside and outside the House,
to secure a continuance of.the present
murderous system. I desire to unmask
the villains who sit in the House, fit rep?
resentatives of more numerous but not
great villains out I demand that tho
ill be proceeded with. Failing in this,
I lay upon the heads of the Premier and
his colleagues the blood of all who perish
next winter from preventable causes, and
pronounce against^him and them the
wrath of God."

Telegraohic?American News.
Galupous, Ohio, July 22.?A Demo?
cratic mass meeting was held here to-day,
nt whioh Governor Allen and Mr. Gco.
H. Pendleton spoke. The hitter in his
speoch alluded to the meeting of tho
Republican convention last year, and
the claims in its platform; but, said bo,
this year it tunes its voice to a different
key, and only declared itsolf in favor of
our public school system and the separa?
tion of church and State. Upon these
Eoints, ho said, the Democrats could
ave no argument with the Republicans,
and be quoted from the platform to show
thut the Democratic party would uphold
tho State Constitution in this respect.
He interprets the platform to mean adhe?
rence to the principles of the Govern?
ment established by the fathers; opposi?
tion to all encroachments of one depart?
ment upon another, or of tho F?deral
power upon tbc constitutional rights of
tho States; equality before the law of all
citizons; ono Presidential term; retrench?
ments whenever thero is extravagance;
reform wherever thero is abuse; no sub?
sidies; public lands for actual settlers; a
tariff for revenue only; equal and exact
justice to all; religion free; secular edu?
cation in public schools; opposition to
sumptuary laws and to intorferonce with
social habits; and on financial questions,
a cessation of contraction, a sound and
sufficient currenoy, groenbaoks instead
of national bank notes, and greenbacks
for customs to the extent that the neces?
sities of the Government will permit
rhis platform, he olaimed, had been
misrepresented; it called for a ourrency
equal to the wants of trade, and that, ho
claimed, was a fitting measure for tho
volume of ourrency. The Democrats do
not favor a depreciated currenoy. * He
thought he interpreted the opinion of the
party and the platform when he declared
that they were in favor of ooin as the
basis of ourrency; that paper currenoy
should be convertible into ooin at par;:
that the party desire ? return to specie
Eaymanta a* aneedUy a* the interest of j
ibojr MJdbtUThiess will'permit; that we |
would be glad to return immediately
if honor and good faith and justice
would permit and it were possible. The
Democratic party in not now and never
has been in favor of repudiation in
any form. We believo it is our highest
duty to fulfill all our country's obliga?
tions, according to the spirit and letter of
our promise. Wo are not now and never
have been in favor of a volume of cur?
rency, changing and fluctuating accord?
ing to the whims of parties or the inte?
rest of bunkern, or the demands of reck?
less speculators, hut sufficient for the
oasy, active, economical and profitable
interchange of commodities, and as fixed
and stable us the nature of the case will
allow. And so long as we must have a
Government paper currency, we prefer
greenbacks, which are sound and cheap
and good, to national bank notes, which
at the outset cost the people six per cent,
and are at least only redeemable in
greenbacks. Ho confessed that there
were defects and dangers in this coin
basis system, that the superstructure of
paper was larger than the foundation of
coin, and that as tho superstructure
grows higher, it grows wider und largor;
but ho would not discuss to-day the
merits of the various kinds of currency.
Tho present necessities demand relief
that should bo promptly provided. He
repeated that ho was a hard money man,
that a return to specie payments should
bo kept steadily in viow in legislation
and in action, and that wise statesman?
ship will seok tho means of reconciling
such a return with the true interests of
labor and business, and justice to tho
debtor. Resumption cannot be forced.
It must bo tho outgrowth of surround?
ing healthy conditions, or it will he
neither beneficial nor permanent When
in Congress, ho voted against tho legal
tender Act, believing tho law unconsti?
tutional and the policy unwise. As the
policy had become interwoven with our
finance and trade, he would seek all
the good he could find in it Ho would
not abandon specie payments, but ho
would not rush ruthlessly back to specie
payments over the prostration of all
business and the ruin of the debtor.
The Democrats established the Hub-trea?
sury system, and the Government in 1801
paid nothing but gold and silver. A
Republican Congress passed the bond
Act, the legal tender Act and the na?
tional bank Act Gold and silver ceased
to circulate, and in 1865, the various
issues of paper money had reached an
enormous sum. Then commenoed the
Republican system of finance to contract
the currency, and if nocossary to this
end increase tho interest-paying debt;
and contraction has been steadily going
on ever since. With the decrease in tho
currency thero has boen n declino in the
prosperity and happiness of the country,
until now we are confronted with a con?
dition of affairs whioh all feel too keenly
to make a description necessary. To-day
there is more property for sale under
executions by the sheriffs of Ohio than
ever before. Gold and paper stand to?
day at a difference of fourteen per cent.;
a year ago, tho difference was ton per
cent. Republicans claim contraction as
a remedy for these things, and Congress
has passed a law declaring that a resump?
tion shall take place in January, 187'J,
and the treasury is preparing for this by
buying gold ana silver. Every dollar of
Sold purchased with bonds for the ro?
om ption of greenbacks adds to the an?
nual interest It is the old story of
funding a dobt which pays no interest
He showed by comparison that the ex?
ports of flour, wheat, cotton, petrolouui,
meats, turpentine, tallow, tobacco and
timber had fallen off $88,000,000 since
lost year. Tho Democratic party points
to a middle path as tho way to safety.
Abandon this policy of contracts, stop
tinkering with the currency, 6top this
effort at forcing resumption, give stabili?
ty for a time, give business a moment to
revive, promote industry and produc?
tion, stimulate enterprise by the pros?
pect of gain, labor more and spend less.
Tho great want of - the country is an en?
tire freedom for labor, a removal of every
obstacle, the presence of every aid; fair
prices, steady markets and ready sales
are aids, and to secure these a sufficient
and sound currency and low interest aro
indispensible; and if to these be added
low tuxes, rigid economy, simplicity of go?
vernment and purity of administration,
tho movement toward resumption will
bo continued and accelerated.
