SPECIE PAYNIENTs.-Theq question of an
early resumption Of specie payments by
the government is beginning to agitate the
public mind. Significant of this, and as
indicating the views Of three prominent
men, we make quotations from their letters
to Hon. f. q. Spaulding, acknowledging
the receipt of copy of his Financial His
tory Of the War. The writers are Attor-
ney General Hoar, Hon. Horace Maynard
of Tennessee and Hon. Charles Sumner
Mr.. Hoar says:
s. | am of those who believed that it was
the interest as well as the duty Of the ma
ton to return at once to the true and solid
standard of value as soon as active HOSTILE
ties ceased that we should have treated
the currency as we did our armies-regard-
ing the volunteers and greenbacks alike as
necessities Of war, to be dispensed with as
fast as possible on the return of peace. ]
think we made a great mistake in not do
ing so; that the shortest method was the
safest and best; that the only way to reach
the object is bya steady and persistent con-
traction Of the currency"
Mr.. Hoar hopes that congress will adj
dress itself at once to the work, when il
meets, Of solving the problem.
Mr.. Maynard, in the course Of his letter
says: Let the currency now be made con.
vertible into coin at the pleasure Of the
holder, and nothing would beleft to be dis
cussed. Why this has not been done, why
it is not done, why it should not be done
/ confess, after all / have read and heard
! am not able to see. One of these days
some bold man will take the step, and then
everybody will wonder whyit had not beer
taken years before"
Mr.. Sumner places himself on record il
this concise and emphatic language:
81 am not content with the long post
ponement of specie payments. l believe
that the time has come for this blessing
and | begin to be impatient when SEE
how easily people find excuses for not ac
cepting it.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.-Capt. Beattie of
Brunswick, is in trouble again-this time
as heretofore on divers ether occasions,
caused bytoo frequent and heavy rotations
of bad whiskey. Saturday night of week
before last, while in state of beastly in
tOxication, he broke into the house of VIM.
Boutwell, about two miles from Lancaster,
n. H., and after soaring the family nearly
out of their wits, threatened to shoot ne
gro in the empty of Mr.. Boutwell,. The
negro ran for assistance Boutwell, being
away from home) and when he returned
the captain was so drunk he could not roll
over, when they sent him home. The cap
tain is an uglycastomer when drunk which
is too frequent for his good name and fame,
| but a good fellow we are told when sober.
About two years ago he stabbed man in
STAFFORD, n. H., while in a drunken fra
cas-, He was once dishonorably discharged
| from the army for shooting at Lieut.. Mill
er, but by some sort of hocus pocus was re-
| instated. We predict that when he finally
"shuffies off this mortal coil ;" a coil of
rope will have something to do with it, and
that the coil will be placed too affection
ately near one of his long ears. All by
means Of the bottle. He represented his
town in the legislature this fall He has
been arrested for housebreaking.

STANDARD Il NEW YORK WEEKLY,

For $500 we will send the Standard and
New York Weekly great story paper
to January /, 1871. The price of the
Weekly is 50 a year, but by clubbing it
with the Standard we can furnish it for
two dollars. This offer is made only to
those who do not now take our paper, and
is limited to fifteen new ones.
The above offers are open to January
next. The terms are cash in advance in
all cases. We have offered no poor publ
cations We have offered them all cheap.
We make no money on any Of them, but
do lose on two. If any one thinks himself
unable to pay so much for the highest
priced ones we offer, get your neighbor to
90 halves with you on them, but do not
stop the Standard. We are trying to print
good paper, and have the vanity to be-
lieve that we offer the best reading and the
most of it for the money of any paper in
the state, with the exception of the Mont
pe!ier Journal and the Burlington Free
Press, We have as all can see, and as all
acknowledge, made great improvements in
the paper the last year, for which we have
made no extra charge, although these i'm
provements have cost Us heavily and have
added no less than So to our weekly bills.
Yet in the face and eyes of these facts we
promise our readers that if they will only
help us to more advance paying subscribers,
and will also pay for their own in advance,
we will before another year rolls around
make greater improvements than any yet
made. We have faith to believe that Or
leans County can and will support big
ger and better paper than she now has, and
at the same price. At any rate we are the
man to risk it if people will pay us in adj
vance and not put us to the cruel expense
of paying an agent three dollars a day tC
collect what is our due and not get fourth
Of it then. Come friends, send us money
as fast as your subscriptions expire, speak
good word for us and thus help your
selves. Ifyou can get better paper than
ours for the same money we ask we shall
not blame you for changing, but do NOD
change merely for the sake of changing
If we are doing well stand by us that en-.
eourages us to do still better; but do not
stop your paper, that's depressing and free.
yes every earnest attempt at well doing.

A SPEcK OF WAR.-A few days ago our
government ordered the seizure of h e
Spanish gunboats which have for several
months been building in New York and
Connecticut, the theory Of the government
being that they are intended foruse against
Peru, with which country Spain is now at
war. 1t would be breach of our neutral
ity laws to allow these boats to leave our
waters if such is the object of the Spanish
government. Reports are that a Spanish
feet is now off New York harbor prepared
with powder and ball to knock that wicked
city into a cooked hat and tear the nation
to shoe strings! If this report is true
things are getting warlike. Guess there is
no very great danger just yet. Spain fight
ing the United States would be like CAD
fly fighting an eagIe--an annoyance and
nothing more.
