Our DocKs.-The Philadelphia and
Erie Railway Company, are pushing on
the work of preparation for the business
inaugurated by the Anchor Line of pro-
pellers. A large freight house is to be
erected on the north east corner of their
pier, two hundred feet long, some fifty
feet wide, and twenty-one feet high.
The foundation is laid with strong heavy
timbers, and the floor will be at con-
venient hcighth for rolling freight from
the cars. We are glad to see this con-
vincing evidence OF increasing evidence
i'll the extension of business at this port.
The elevator dock is being rapidly
filled in, and will furnish when compile
ted Il Spasious area for the transitory
elevator business. There will be ample
room for more elevators and other fix
ings for pushing on the trade of Erie.
A wing pier is Eeing extended from the
east side of the elevator to the drydock
as a rear support for some temporary
freight sheds to be usssl while more
commodious buildings are beine erected.

The proposition that tie Senators
should vote by ballot, and secretly, on
the question of the Presidents guilt or
innocensc, could only originate with
those who desire that the President
should be acquitted by stealth, and can
only be sustained by such as wish to
vote for his ac9uittal, and dodge or
shirk their fair responsibility to their
constituents for their votes on this, the
the most important question upon which
they have been called to vote. The pro-
position is an insult not only to the indie
pendence, but to the integrity of Sena
tors. Itis universal and just princi-
pie, applicable to all persons who vote
in u representative capacity, and their
vote shall be open, so that their constl-
tuents may hold them to their RESPONSE
bility. Where Legislatures have in ex-
ceptional instances adopted the system
of voting by ballot, they have irvaria-
bly, found it the cover for boundless cor
rution and fraud. Already rumors are
. abroad that vast agencies of corruption
are being desperately brought to bear by
the Presidents friends, in the vain hope
that some assailable weakness may be
found in the integrity of the Senate. A
vote for substituting secret ballot for an
open vote on the question of conviction
would be universally accepted as con
fession by the Senate of both corruption
and cowardice, and would be more fatal
to the Senator casting it than an open
vote for the Presidents acquittal.

The ABYssINIAN WAR, which has at
tracted some attention, not SO much
from its Importance, as from the insigniti-
canoe and obstinate cffrontry of one, and
the power position of the other party,
is ended. Dispatches state, that on the
18th of April, the British army arrived
before the camp and fortress of King
Theodore at Magdala, a demand was
made by Gen. Napier for the release of
the prisoners, which being refused, all
advance was made, and advantages
gained when Theadorus returned to
Magdala, and planted FIVE guns, but
his effort at resistance was Of short du-
ration.
Bombardniept BY the British for three
hours followed when Gen. Napier order
ed the men to advance, and the town
was carried by assault, after a vigorous
resistance on the part OF the enemy
The Kings loss was es killed and 100
wounded. The British loss was Is
wounded, rank and file. The King was
found dead, shot through the head. some
say he was killed in battle, and others
assert he committed suicide. His two
sors were taken prisoners. All the En-
ropean prisoners were liberated. The
interior of the Kings stronghold present

MONEY MAK1NG.-An interesting az
ticle in the last Galdry about the rich
men of New York, gives brief sketch
of ten principal tax payers of that city.
Signed by the initials ST. W." it is, VIC
presume, from the pen of Thurlow Weed
and is marked by his wonted pungency
and vigor. Rich men are the product
of Grab, according to the author; they
make money by learning how to avail
themselves of other mems earnings; and
he sums up the secret, OF becoming a
millionaire in number Of rItes:, Among
which are:
You must be able to devote your life
to getting and keeping other mems earn
ings; care nothing tor their wants, suf-
ferings, or disappointments; be indiffer-
ent to the fact that your wealth involves
their poverty; avoid giving salve for a
material equivalent; be needless of the
works of nature or the charms of litera-
fure and art; avoid being engrossed by
the claims OF your family, or yielding te
the obligations of friendship. Most mer
would deny that they are ready to pay
such a price to get rich, and yet in every
Community are to be found those who
rigidly observe them and they grow
daily richer in lands and poorer in char
acter.

Loss OF PROPERTY IN SLAVES. Geor-
gia correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune
informs that journal that he lost 100000
worth of slaves by the emancipation pol
icy of the Republican party, and asks if
that is consistent with the clause of the
Constitution which forbids private prop
erty to be taken for public uses without
just compensation. His conundrum is
replied to by asking another. When our
Savior meeting two men possessed of
devils in a very aggravating and excess
i've number, ordered the devils to de-
part and enter into certain swine which
were feeling near at hand, and when the
swine, under this sudden and unfortun-
ate inspiration, kicked up their heels and
with one accord Gran down steep place
into the sea, and were drowned" had
the owner of the swine right of action
in trespass against their Creator for ta-
king his private property for public
use without paving for it.

TO make it conditional on the parties re-
ceiving say half In silver and half in bank
notes. This too is a profitable. business,
and perfectly Legitimate. No wonder
then that we should be overrun with silver
coin. The importation will continue as
long as it is profitable. A word rs 10 the
cause of the superahundance of silver coin
in ST. Thomas. The cause is exclusively
TO be traced 10 the disturbed State of the
currency in the United States. In their
the Government there have
overstocked the currency market; SO
much so that their currency is at u dis
count of about 80 pr. CT. as compared 10
their legal standard gold, and at about 33
pr. CT. as compared to silver. This means
that the paper currency of the United
States is about 50 pr. CT. over and above
the quantity required 10 carry on all their
exchanges, If they were to reduoe the
circulation of green-backs with IS pr. CT,
they would soon be at par. Now, green
backs have SO to say no value out Of the
United States, but the people of the
United States nave to purchase from for
eign countries; they have for instance 10
purchase sugar and molasseS. In part
they pay for these articles with corn-meal
and other estate supplies, but these ar
ticles are not sufficient, the balance has
to be paid with some other article. They
have the choice 10 pay either with gold
to green-backs S pr. CT. higher than silver,
they prefer the cheaper article. Hence a
great quantity of that commodity has
found its way to Cuba, Portorico and
other westindIa Islands, and from these it
has, as was natural from the close COM
mercial connection of all these places
with ST. Thomas, found its way to ST.
Thomas and is now likely to find it's way
to this Island.
This is not desirable, for although the
injury in the long run will be remedIed
by q general rise in prices, 1t is very de-
sirable that the currency of a community
should be subject to as few changes as
possible. The amount Of currency re-
quired by o community depends on the
amount of it's business; and the facility
with which it is conducted. If for in
stance bank-checks are used, so much less
currency will be required. At the. clear
ing-house in London for instance, to effect
the exchange of the sum of One
Thousand millions of Pound Sterlings of
cheques, there is required an amount of
specie not exceeding 920O, 900. What
the exact amount of specie required at
any moment it is not easy to ascertain,
but the first sign of a super fluffy mani
tests itself in the currency getting at a
discount.
Who would be the first to suffer, should
our currency he depreciated9 The by
far largest majority of the people the
90, 1000 out of the $4,000, the common
labourer, and among these first of all the
country labourers, for. pursuant to that
very wise act called the labour act, their
wages are fixed once for all. They would
continue to get their 5 and 10 cents pr.
day, and when they come to town to
make their purchases they would find
that their money was worth less than for
what they received it. However much
discomfort this might cause at the mo-
