measures 10 bring the Government back TO
In its sxpsndisurea, and lie agents .
o q condition Of honesty In the discharge Of {
heir several duties almost unknown among I
u Of late yeara, would bring about general
pecie payments, while Congress continues Z
quabbling over tho question how 10 do that I
hing. Your readers must surely already !
ealise that my predictions In this connection
ire being rapidly fulfilled. With 5-2o's at
,ar In gold In Engiand--the nrst time they
have been 20 slncc they were issucd--and I
with gold In New York down TO 1slk, he
who falls to comprehend that we arc speedily
approaching specie payments can comprc-
bend nothing whatever in the near future.
rHx VALUE or EuRoPn's coSyIDKscx.
Grants late emphatic declaration that Ii Is
his purpose to administer his trust, hnan-
chilly, to the end Of paying our national pub
lie debt In gold at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and the manner In which he Is battling
the well-known schemers who have been
seeking to get control Of him, many Of
whom are spectators on the public treasury |
In person or through friends, have accom- |
plished most Of the wSn icrful improvements
In the value Of United States stocks and
surrcncy mentioned above.
TIE gFrEcr or scHEscK's BILL.
The way In whlci ~, House received and
legislAted on Mr.. schstsk's financial
measure, has also done Its share In the good
work, by assuring the financial world be-
yond seas that the American Congress Is not
bitten with the manIs Of repudlation, ylr-
tually advocated by the Democratic party In
/ the late Presidential election. Nothing can
be more important TO the interests Of Ameri-
can capital, labor, commerce and all other
business, than the restoration Of European
confidence in the integrity Of our national
financial purposes, which has thus occurred
In advance OF Grants Inauguration.
ErYxcr OF GRANTS MESSAGE AND POLICY.
His inaugural, or his frst message, will
doubtless embrace so comprehensive an cx.
position Of the details Of his financial views
and plans, stated so pithily and conclusively,
a. he states all things, as 10 bring gold
tumbling down, and to elevate American Sc
curities abroad stlll higher than they were on
Friday and Saturday last, In London. When
| he can reach tho spcculators, bribe-takers,
work -shirkers and palpabie thieves in rev.
cuue collecting Offices, and tho world sees
that he Is knocking them right and left,
will take a still higher night-rise-in Eu-
rope, and gold will tumble still lower in New
York.
GRANT ON THE FrrEEsTH AMENDMENT.
I nnd great number Of public men autici-
pating that, In his inaugural, Grant will
make an earnest appeal for the adoption OF
the fifteenth amendment. He will surel,
greatly strengthen II before the country u
he does. He Is well known to favor Its adop
tion with great earnestness.
FEW THIEVES HERE-ruE POLICE.
The police authorities Of Washington ART
Of opinion that very few professional thleyei
from distance have SO far made their ap
peanncc here to attend the Inauguration
This conclusion arises from the fact tina
they have not arrived here per rail, apprc
heud. The cars arc regularly searched fo
them between washin gton and Baltimore.
: THE CRowD-FEwER oYFIcE-sEEKERs TIA
y USUAL.
. The crowd In the city Is now rapidly in
&c creasing, though the indications arc that
s. may not DO as large rs usual on such occa
Y, sions. This is the result Of Grants pos
70 tion with reference to removals and appoin
C ments to Office. The ofiice-seekers right
n conclude that to bore him nj this time @
s the subject Of their respective claims will .
to damage their chances. So they may nj
b attend on the 4th inst. In as great force a

THE THIEVES AGAIN.
10 omitted to say above that, according
the observation Of the police eyerywher
: professional thieves always come and {
with the crowd, so far as possible, to avo
T. being "spotted." This accounts for the
n failure to be here In numbers now. tt
ID crowd will hardly commence rushing
70 upon us before Tuesday or Wednesday neI
Ill when the llght-angered gentry may
looked for In their train In large numbers.
