A Plan for the Gradual Resumption OF
epecie PAYMENTS.

We copy as follows from the New York
Tribune;
Mr.. Lynch, of Maine, has pending in
the House Of Representatives q plan for
gradually resuming specie payments.
Briefly stated, il consists in issuing from
the Treasury coupon bonds to the amount
of $500, ,000, 900, OF denominations Of 800
and upward, bearing interest at four per
cent, payable quarterly in lawful money,
and making these and greenbacks recip-
rocally convertible into each other at the
pleasure of the holder; after the lst OF
May next, all United States legal tender
notes received by the United States, BAY
$3.50, 900, 900 per year, or 10, 900 per
month, are to be retired and destroyed,
and in their stead notes payable one year
from date, in coin, are to be issued to all
creditors to whom legal tenders have
heretofore been paid. By the lst Of May,
1869, $3.50, ,000,0 900 in coin notes would
have taken the place Of the present green.
backs, having been paid out for salaries,
Government contracts, currency interest,
and oil expenses of the Government
These notes will become due at the rate
of half million dollars day during the
year 1869, and are to be redeemed in gold.
BY repeating the same operation for 1869
and 1870, the whole issue Of greenbacks
now outstanding would have been con-
verted into demand notes, and would be
redeemable in gold by May /, 1871. Mr.
Lynch says be firmly believes that the
presentation and redemption Of the first
$l5,0O0,0 Of these notes would so estab-
lish public confidence as to reduce the
premium on gold to 6 nominal figure.
The difference between the plan and that
of immediate resumption is that it limits
the amount of notes which can be pre-
sented to the Government for redemption
to half million dollars per day after
one year from the LIST of May next As
our gold receipts from customs amount
to about third of a million per day, it is
thought that so gradual run on the
Treasury could be successfully met until
the public confidence had so far improved
as to reduce the premium on gold to a
nominal figure, when specie payment
would be resumed by the banks and the
people voluntarily. Mr.. Lynch's plan is
one of the most thoughtful of the gradual
plans of resumption yet advanced.

Who CHECKED off Grant. Father !

II has been whispered about that the
biography OF General Grant, by Grants
father, heretofore published by install
ments in the New York Ledger, was
suddenly "choked off" by somebody
and rumor said the ehoker was none
other than Grant himself-who, it was
hinied, began to be ashamed Of it's silli-
ness. II now turns out however, that
rumor was incorrect-a letter from Mr.
RobeA Bonner Ledger editor) to the
Tribune stating that:
General Grant had nothing whatever
to do with the writing or the publication
Of the sketch OF his early life written for
the Ledger by his father. The sketch was
begun and finished before Gen. Grant
knew anything about it, and appeared in
the Ledger in full, just as II came from
the Generals father, without the curtail'
ment Of single word so that the Gen
eral could not have choked of the old
gentleman, as you assert."

Death Of Captain Hartstens. late Of the
United States Navy.

Captain Henry ]. Hartstene, formerly
Of the United States Navy, died in Paris
on the 3Otb Of March, of paralysis. The
Newark Advertiser says:
Captain Hartstene has an honorable
record in the navy. He made the cele-
brated voyage to the Arctic Ocean in
search of DR.. Kane aud Sir John Frank
lin, and was successful in finding DIR.
Kane, and bringing him home. Subse'
quently, he was entrusted by Govern
ment with the complimentary duty of
returning the Resolute, one Of the British
Arctic discovery feet which was found
abandoned and adrift at. sea, to Queen
Victoria, after the ship had been put in
thorough repair by this Government.
Captain Hartstene was South Caro-
linian by birth, and retired to Europe
on the breaking out of the rebellion.

Explosion of Coal Oil.
From the St. Louis Republican,

rTOm INC Dt. hOuls hcpuuiicuus1
One of the most distressing accidents
we have been called upon to record for
sometime past, occurred yesterday morn
ing, at the house of Mr.. Clark, No. POPS !
Morgan street, between Twentieth and
Twenty.first streets. The occupants of
the house we're Mrs. Clark and two
daughters, Mr.. Clark being absent at
Chicago, where he is doing business as a
real estate agent.
At about O'clock Mrs. Clark told her
youngest daughter, Arthaus, girl of
eight years, to light the fire, which she
proceeded to do. She went from the
bedroom to the kitchen, where, after set
ting the paper in the CRATE on fire, she
poured some coal oil out of gallon can
upon it, to make it burn more quickly.
While pouring it out the flames set fire
to the oil in the can, which exploded
with a loud report. The girls dress was
Immediately in blaze, and her mother
ran to her assistance. She wrapped a
blanket round her and succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames, but not before the
daughter had received fatal injuries.
Her own clothing took fire while she was
endeavoring to save her child, and she
was fearfully burned. The report Of the
explosion and the screams of the mother
and daughter startled the neighborhood,
and Mr.. John Harnett, Mr. Butts and
some others rushed in to see what was
the matter. A heart.rending spectacle
awaited them. The flames were extin-
guished and DR.. Cooper was sent for, and
came Immediately and did all in his
power to relieve the agony of the suffer
ers. The girl, however, died at half-past
eleven, and the mother continues in
critical condition.
What makes the accident more deplor-
able is that the eldest daughter of Mrs.
Clark, girl of about sixteen, is at pre-
sent confined to her room by sickness,
and requires almost constant attention
during the night Mr.. Clark has been
telegraphed for to Chicago.
The shocking event created a profound
sensation ia the neighborhood, and will
excite general sympathy. 1t furnishes
another illustration of the care requisite
in handling that dangerous explosive
fluid now in such common use.

An Old Man Beaten with his own Crutch.


From an Alabama paper
HoO long ioit thou abuse our pd-

Jacksonville and witnessed sight sick
ening and revolving in the extreme
After the arrest of Judge Pope, who
was so feeble frem illhealth that he
could scarcely walk, and as the guards
were conducting him to Jail, an aged,
gray-haired man, so afflicted with para
lysis that he had not walked for years
without the aid Of crutches, too out
ragged to contain himself, cried out,
Judge, are they taking you to Jail
Well, d-n me if I'd 90 with them" For
this monstrous utterance, o soldier made
tilt at him with fixed bayonet. The
choleric old man bestowed a shower of
oaths on the soldier, who turned away
and left him. His friends now coming
up, got the old gentleman in his buggy
and started out Of town with him. Lieut..
johnson, commanding the post, came up
about this time aud ordered the buggy
stopped and arrested him. AS he was
being conducted to Jail he again cursed
the lieutenant asd the guard, and for
this was beaten with his own crutch until
it was broken over him.
Another is breathing the tainted at

less ofense than this.
