SPECIE PAYMENTS.

SPECIE PAYMENTS.
A novice in politics might really
think from hearing the immense amount
of "sound and fury" issuing from Radi'
| cal sources, that specie payments, a
consumation devoutly to be wished for
could take place in six, or twelve; or
twenty months, just as easily as not
would injure no one, and would bcne
fit all. Bnt those who know what
complete charlatsns the Radicls are
w';t they know Of the true principles
of gov,rnment-und 'rstand that all tn"
sound and fury signifies nothing. The
thing cannot be accomplished sudden
ly, for the body polite, which has been
severely injured BY financial violence,
can no more rise up and walk than
natura lperson could do who was sick
or wounded, without the working of a
miracle.
It seems to US that all the efforts of
all the financial t'nkers, including Sena-
ator Morton, are
l. TO make capital for the Radical
partyby vaguely proposing to do i'm
possible things-and
2. To make the bonds worth one
hundred cents in gold; which they are
not now, never were, never will be,
and never ought to be.
Senator Sherman's plan was to re.
ducc the interest to four and half per
cant. in gid, and in acquittancc for the
loss of one and a half per cent. gold in
terest, he hoped to obtain for the bond
holders a solemn, deliberate promise,
sanctioned by public sentiment, that
the new bonds should be paid in gold
aud thus remove the question whether
the principal Of the present bouds shall
be paid in cuftenty, ffoti dispute at
once aud forever. In other words,
the bonds arc worth seventy-Gve cents
in gold noS-can be converted at it
In regular, moderate quantitics-aud
Senator Sherman was willing to solidi-
fly them at that figure, and make the
owners of them secure against any fur:
ther agitation of the queseioh. The
bundled debt Gf all the interest were
reduced one and half per cent, would
by this plan be practically reduced one
fourth. This was Mr.. Sherman's first
step in the direction of ofspecie payment.
But we do not think it very popular
with the bondholders-though We fear
they might 60 farther and far worse.
But the Hofid aid sanguinc statesmen
who talk about rcsuthing specie pay.
ments in JANUARY, 1870; or 1871, or
any where along there, propose to raise
the ccrescnt price Of the bonds from
seventy five cents to one hundred cents

the bondholders, but death ~ e'e'y

Now, if tho legal tenders and natlon-
al bank notes by some magical or mlrac-
ulous process, or by the prayers of the
righteous, or by the frequent wishing
of devout bondholders, could be made

that although they might oe re'issued

The LONDON Press ON THE SPANISH Gun
Boar SEIZURE. London. August 6-The
seizure by the American Government of the
gunboats building for Spain is thus COM
mented on by the city journals this morning:
The Morning Star (RadicaD says ''The
American Government having exhibited
yigor in favor Of Spain by enforcing the
neutrality laws, now proceeds vigorously
against Spain, and for the same cause . =
The writer regards the recognition Of Cuba
by Peru as ill-advised, thong h spirited. In
spite Of all predictions, the Cuban insurgents
seem to be able to hold their ground
Whispers Of the ccssion Of Cuba to the Uni
ted States are louder than ever. The Ameri-
cans have desired to come into possession of
that island for the past twenty years. Now,
the obstacle Of slavery having been removed,
if the purchase can be effected, all parties
may be satisfied with arrangements which
will give another State to the American
Union and remove great pertlexity from the
arena Of Spanish politics.
The Ne,os concludes an article as follows:
''Consdering all the circumstances which
make it difficult for Europeans to keep hold
Of their unwilling colonists in America, and
rejecting that Cuba is now in instruction,
Spain will be fortunate if $40, 900, 900 ever
reach Madrid as the price of Cuba.

Casper Koiner died at his residence on South
River, in this county, on the 5th Instant after an
illness of about days, aged AZ years., months and
25days.
He was received into the Luthern Church when
young. He lived most rigid life of scrupulous
exactness in the performance OF all his christian
duties, and also, in his temporal affairs. His ex
IRENE consciousness amounted to popularity.
He seemed to to make it the great business OF his
life to try to do what was right. He was dutiful
son. an af1ectionate brother, kind husband, indul-
gent father and good neighbor.
Mary Jane Koiner, the wife of Casper Koiner
decd died on the 3rd instant, after an illness of
II days, aged AZ years.
She Il member of the Presbyterian church,
and adorned her profession by pous walk, anda
Jealous support cftrue christianity. In her social
relations she was genial and the delight of her
friends
In the case of this husband and wife, it is
markable, that they were about the same age:
siekened at the same time and died of fever with
in a. hours of each other.
They leave an only daughter, and an unusually
large relationship on both sides, to mourn their
departure. Oh! thatthe living would follow their
pious example, that their latter end might be as
full of hope and consolation.

Died in Staunton, on the 25th day of July 1869,

short illness - st sr 81
The writer's acquaintance with Mrs. Coleman
was limited to short period prior to her last i'll
ness Meeting her accidentally at the Rock bridge
Baths, he was much impressed with her gentleness
and amiability of character. The readiness with
which she uniformly sought to please those around
her. the interest in and kindness manifested to-
wards all brought within her circle, were promi-
nent traits in her disposition. Her attention to
the sick, and her eager desire to do all she could
will always be remem bered by those who were
the recipients of her charity. As wife and moth
er, those who feel SO keenly her loss can best
appreciate the virtues Of both. M ay "the tender

This is ito certify that I was afflicted with

ear badly infamed. was induced to try Dr.
Lawrence's Rosadalis, and now l think am 'sen-
