well when he was writing his subject pin the

plausible and well supported was his theory,
that it gained the respect and even the conf

popular lecturers on the subject. The theory
has not yet been demonstrated, nor has it
been exploded. Capt. Symmss was not re-
garded as an imposter; he was mere COM

profession well, in connection with astronomy
and physical ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS he made
no pre.en2ions to extraordinary learning. He
made an engagement with the Emperor Mich

which he proposed to fit out for polar discov-

died in Ohio before he could enter the service

OCEAN ASSOCIATION Elk. Ave would
remind the numerops friends of this associa-
ton, and the dareing community In general,
that the ASSOCIATION gives their fourth annual
Grand Fi,eman's Military and Civic Ball to-
NIGHT at Mechanics Hall. Their dances have
ci,en all who have participated in them entire
satisfaction, as their gentlemanly managers
have used every effort to please. We may ex-
pect numerous delegations from engine com.
panies from other towns to be present in uni
form, and it will undoubtedly be the ball of the
season. We have only to say that Chambers
Quadrille Band, with Chandler as prompter,
furnishes the music. To give satisfaction on
that point, they never postpone, foul weather
or fair; so turn out one and all, and give them
full house.

THE PosT OFFIoE.-Judge Davis enters
upon the duties of Postmaster to-day He
has appointed William @. How, ESQ.,, Chief
Clerk of the establishment, who will have
charge of the working details of the office.

disposed to accommodate the public to the ut
most extent. Some changes are contemplated,
as suggested in the Press of Saturday. But
the consent of the Department must be had

1t will be noticed, by advertisement, that
the law partnership recently formed between
Judge Davis and M. M. Butler, Esq, has been
terminated in consequence of the former as

What Our Financial Disease Is.

w 16b Our H'lQ&uclal OlS6aS6 Is.
A wise physician, when called to the bedside
of sick man, seeks first of all to know what
ails the patient. The nurses will tell him with
great positiveness they have seen such things
before, and they know it is a dreadful attack
of this Or that disease. The doctor does not
at once step aside and make out a prescrip-
ton upon their account of the matter He
goes straight to the bed and examines for him
self. 1t he finds various symptoms, seine OF
them proper to one form of disease, and 9TH
ers indicating some other malady, he directs
his remedies to the worse of the two, believ-
ing that when he has overcome the heavier
ailment, the symptoms of the lesser disease
viii disappear as matter of course.
What ails our currency? We all say it is
redundant. 1t is plain that our present form
of money, besides being redundant, is false
The government makes us take piece of its
paper for dollar; the real dollar being Ger
tain quantity of gold. Each government pa
per dollar costs to make it an enthusiastically
small quantity of human labor. The real dol
lar has cost full days labor of an able-bod-
led man to dig it out of the earth and to bring
it finally into the shape of coin. Yet the gov
eminent tries to make believe its little bit OF
green paper is dollar. The greenback, in
ealing itself dollar, is false. Again, this pa
per is in the form of promise to pay real
dollar to the bearer ondemand. Bnt the prom
Use, at the very time il was made, was not
meant to be kept. BY law the promise is to
be accepted, and taken as being itself the thing
promised. No one is to ask to have it redeem
ed. 1t is promise not meant to be kept /;
false promise. Is not the chief disease of
our money its falsehood? 1t is redundant
also; that is to say, there is too much of it.
Bad money, false money, is always redundant.
If there is any, there is too much.
Would our money be redundant, or would
its redundancy be Of any consequence if it
were not false? II, in every bank vault, in
every bankers safe, in every merchants draw
e., in every shopkeeper's till, In every farmers
chest, in every mans pockst-book, there were
to-day exactly as many gold dollars as there
are now legal tender notes, should we be COM
planning of redundancy? If tonight, all the
legal-tender notes, wherever to be found, were,
by some miracle, to be turned into gold dol
airs, should we tomorrow morning be in fear,
