A Popular G‘old Loan.-
T1101 csult of Secretary Cirlisle’s call
for a “popular loan” of $100, 000, 000 will
test whether it is practicable to replen-
1511 the gold reserve by this means. Of
the success of a popular. loan for or-
(111.11 y purposes there has never been
any question. The people of the Uni-
ted States arc.nct only able but willing
to subscribe many times S100. 000, 000 if
such a sum were needed to support the
Government That fact was conclu-
m 11y demonst‘rta cd by the manner in
in which they came to the financial res-
cue of the Government during the re-
bellion ‘
To. day our resources are incalculably
. greater than they were in that crucial
period, where he who should now doubt
the absolute stability of the 'nation
would be considered a~fit subject for
bedlam. "
It is not to raise money, in the gen-
oral 1cuse of that term, that the preseht
issue of bonds is offered, but to' ,p‘rocure
gold, audit is a grave question with
many cautious and disinterested finan-
this is feasible; under
piezont circumstances. If persons who
subscribe to the new :lcau tllSO green-
lmcks to the Treasury and draw out
cold in ioturn in cider to pay for the
hon ls which they buy, it is evident that
the loan will prove a farce. The Gov-
moment 11' ould- be no better off in the
end than it is now. _ V
It is true that there is a large stock of
gold in the bank vaults and private
coffers of 1.116115111111511. .Somc fix this

declare it to be not less than $700,000,-

cided is whether it is possible for the
Government to secure this gold.
Itis plain that the masses favor :1
populir loan, and thc'strong support
which the Elkins resolution received in

dicates that Congress is imbued with
a similar feeling. The outcome of

McGough to Make a Sworn Statem'ent.
V“’hat Governor Morton Says.
'ALBANY, Jan. 7,—As soon as Governor
Morton arrived at the statehousc he had
his pardon clerk draw up1’n reprieve for
:Bartholomew Shea, and this - afternoon
the clerk went to Clinton prison in order
to get another statement, a sworn one,
from McGough, upon whose written con-
fession 'cf the killing of Ross the gov-
ernor’s action is based. McGough, who
Is serving a 20 your sentence for shooting
William Ross, is said to" be willing to sup-
port his statement by an affidavit. Refer-
ring to his action, Governor Morton said
today:
“I have no alternative but to grant the
reprieve. It seems to me that this affair
is very‘much complicated, and there are
some curious features in it. At the same
time I cannot let a man be executed in
whose case there is a shadow of doubt as
to his guilt. ”
. The governor declined to allow the re-
porter to copy the confession of McGough
until further investigation had been made.-
It is pretty well agreed here by those
who are in a position to know’that if Mc-
Gougli makes good his confession he will
not be tried for anything greater than
manslaughter, his claim being that he
shot Ross in self defense If the court
decides that Mchugh’s confession, with-
out additional evidence, is not enough to
clear Shea- thcn it is not likely that Shea
will be convicted of anything greater than
manslaughter.
Lawyers say that the history of the trial
shows that a number of witnesses swore
positively that Shea shot Robert Ross,
while McGough, when upon the stand,
swore positively that John Boland fired
the fatal shot. Not one witness swear
that McGough fired the shot, and the
court never considered the matter of Mo
Cough being the guilty man. It is shown
their own testimony, and a still more dif-
ficult thing to obtain new Witnesses to
prove that Mchugh shot Ross. The en-
tire case, therefore, rests upon the con-
fession of McGough alone.
It is further understood that the gov-
ernor will call upon the assistant district
Shea to give his opinion in the matter.
As yet Mr. Fagan has simply made a ver-
bal statement, in which he says: “:Mc-
olusion that there was no chance for his
pal. He is a man who would not hesitate
for an instant' in committing an act, no
matter how desperate or how seriously
it might result to him. I think he would
be willing, to confess the murder under
the circumstances and take a chance of
not receiving any more severe punishment
than has already been meted out to him.
It will result in another long delay, and
further legal procedure, but what the final
result of it will be of course it will not be
proper for me to suggest.”

souvenir which he prizas above any
treasure. It is medal‘prcsentod toLhim
by Gen. Gilmore, for brave and merito-
rious conduct at the charge upon Fort
Wagner, South Carolina, on the night
of July 18, 1363. He was- sergeant of
Company A, Sixth Connecticut infant-
ry, and bears a scar on his pel'SJn as a
reminder of that memorable night. He
entered North Carolina at_Fort Fisher,
and participated in that terrible assault,
in February, 1865, with the rank of
captain, and was promoted to that of
major. After the fall of Wilmington
he was made provost marshal of that
city, and after the war became a citizen
”bf Goldsboro. He engaged in business
and has lived there ever since.
He was the first man to launch the
coalition movement in North Carolina,
which resulted in a combination be-
tween the Republicans and the Popu-
lists, the election of a Coalition Leg-
islature, and the sending'to the United
States Senate of a. Republican Senator.
He was himself elected a State Senator
and the only Union soldier in that
body. The Major is said .-o be actively

the cars or at home.
Henry Romeikefi proprietor of the
largest Ndewspapér C ippiug Agency in- '
the world, testifies" in a published card,
that his clippings fer over 4, 000 clients
show that the“ Tribune contains “day
by day and week by week, far more
original matter than any daily news-
paper in New York- City. " He proves
the fact by figures; The weekly ranks
the same. . L.
Business men find thfiui‘ket reports
of the Tribune absolutély without an
equal. The Tribune is the only news— L
paper in New York City whose report-
ere actually visit all the markets in per.
0The Tribune now prints the best and
freshest humorous pictures of the day
from the comic press of two continents,
and supplies plenty of other entertain-
merit.

pcndence, its able editorials and high
literary chamcter, The Tribune main-
tainsa splendid position in regard of
Republicans and lovers of music, art,
