THE GoLD.GlMBLERS PANIC

There were symptoms yesterday OF an abate-
ment of the furry in Gold which the gamblers
in National dshonOr have been exciting for
several days past. They have done their worst
without moving Secretary Boutwell, from his
declared purpose of using the suIplusl Public
Money in the Treasury to reduce the National
Debt. lie has thus far bought slOOOOOO Of
Bonds per week, selling $l,OOO0OO Of Gold;
Lext week he will sell Iico Millions of Gold,
and will sell more and buy more Bonds so soon
AS he shall see fit. He will not be hurried
in the premises, since it is not his
policy TO depreciato the market price
Of the only Commodity he has TO sell /;
but he makes no secret Of his purpose to dis
pose of all the surplus Gold in tho Treasury
beyond a fair working balance and invest tho
proceeds in some form of National Dobt
Having fair notice of his intention, every one
can govern himself accordingly; and those who
are caught "long" in Gold when the premium
falls heaviy-as fall it must-may rail at the
Secretary if they choose, but can justly blame
only themselves.
The Times tries to show that we were
" staggered" with regard to the right of the
Secretary to establish Sinking Fund be-
provision of the Public Credit act that it
seemed intended to prohibit the reduction Of
the Public Debt by the use of the surplus
Gold in the Treasury. We made this objcc-
tiOn-just as the clause in question was de-
vised and passed-without thinking of the pro-
vision for a Sinking Fund in the Legal Tender
act Of 1862. Whether Congress wOuId have re-
pealed that provision if it had been thought
of, we cannot say F; we only know that 1t rds
not repealed, and is now in full force. We
have never thought or said aught in contra
vention of this never cherished any doubt OF
it.
The Times objects that the interest on tho
bonds now bought is not saved, because IL rs
still TO be paid into the Sinking Fund! That is
to say: no man has anything that he does not
eat or drink to-day We insist that the in
terest on every bond placed in the Sinking
Fund is absolutely saved from the hour of its
purchase-saved as truly as though it were not
appropriated to the payment of our Debt. IL
it is u reprOach to desire TO reduce steadily the
principal as well as pay punctually tho interest
of the Debt, we claim our full share of il. We
do not support this policy because it involves
the maintenance of Protective Tariff; but
that is certainly in our view no objection.
The Times thinks that, by the Secretary's
policy, "the availability of Government funds
"for export is lessened." We certainly hope it
is. We wish it were impossible erer to export
q U. s. bond in time of peace. We are already
quite deeply enough in debt to Europe, and
ought never to sell her another bond. We
wish we could tomorrow buy back of her
Fifty Millions at current rates, and pay for
them in gold, and thenccforth sell her no more.
OF course, it is natural that Ih0 Tunes

should wish the Treasury, Gas first duty, to
"acquirc and keep IA strong reserve" OF Cold,
and that it should stigmatize the policy OF pay
ing so fast and so far M we have means as
devised for the benefit of two or three par
ticular classes We do not mind that, since
it is not denied that we would have the Gov
enmcnt do exactly what it promised when, by
the Legal Tender act, it laid basis for the
immense loans that carried us triumphantly
through the War for the Union. We would
do it because Good Faith imperativey
requires it. We would do it because
good policy fully concurs. We would do 1t IN
the spirit of that glorious resolve OF the CHI
cagO Convention which nominated Grant and
COlfax that it is our true interest to treat our
Public Creditors so well that they will seek to
remain such, and that others will compete
with them for the privilege. We would do 1t
in the interest of that reduction of the current
interest ON our National Debt which The Times
deems impossible for years yet, but which we
regard as feasible at an early day and OF the
very first Importance. Last, not least; we
would do it because the law OF the land clearly

II is rumorcd that Mr.. Senator Crowley is to
be appointed Counsel to the new Board of Tax
Commissioners. We do not for a moment credit
the rumor. Mr.. Crowley, when it was inti-
mated that he was expecting an appointment
under the Commission Indignantly repudiated
the idea that lie could be induced to accept
any such appointment, and informed the Senate
and the Country that he had no intention OF
leaving his pleasant home in Lockport to take
up his abode in New-YOrk as an Oilice-holder.
Mr. Crowley is n Senator of the State, and a
gentleman whose statements are not to be
lightly questioned We therefore decline TO
believe that he bargaincd for fat appoint
ment as condition of supporting measure
of very doubtful proprety; measure intended
20 remove faithful Republicans from offices
which they were filling TO the satisfaction OF
the public and put Tammany Ring Demo
Gratis in their places; measure which will add
untold thousands TO the taxation of the people
without any reasonable hope of increased etli-
cheney in the service, and a measure which his
party in caucus deliberately and solemnly de-
termued TO oppose as a party measure. Be
SIDES. we do not credit the story that Mr..
Crowley will take the lucrative position OF
Counsel 10 the Board which his vote helped 10
create, for the reason that he voted for the
bill to punish legislative bribery and coHup-
ton, the first section of which would make 1t
a felony for a member OF the Legislature to
vote OF refuse TO vote for a measure because ot
any promise Of pccuniary or personal gain. II
is true that tho Bribery bill was not n law at
the time of the passage of the Tax Commis-
sioners bill. But with high-minded and
honorable citizen an act is right or wrong in
itself, and in the absence OF any law upon the
subject and it is not to be supposed that an
intelligent and upright Senator would do an
act to-day that he would vote TO make fell
ony tomorrow We therefore emphatcally
call in question the accuracy of Madam
Rumor who asserts with much positiycncss
that Mr.. Crowley is to be Counsel TO the Tax
Commission at the handsome salary of $500

The Pennsylvania coal miners sought to fix
the price of coal in this city at five dollars per
tun. Thereupon the Free Traders, through
their Evening Post, assailed the tariff. This
charge of five dollars per tun was extOrtion and
the duty should be repealed in order that Nova
Scotia might furnish us cheap coal We showed
that the Nova Scotia coal could not to-day be
bought by the cargo at the dock for less than
nine dollars and that, as the duty was only
dollar and seventy y-fve cents in currency, it was
hard to see how its repeal would bring down
prices and inaugurate general happiness. Now
come Nova Scotia miners and The Post again
with a maze of figures, to try to cipher
themselves ont. We do not care to follow
them. The price of Nova Scotia coal, gentle
men, is nine dollars with the duty Off would
be seven and quarter ;-Peunsylvania coal
was fixed at five dollars lyon demand the re.
peal of the duty that Nova Scotia may deliver

Gov Hoffman has refused to sign the bill
designed to prevent fraudulent registration and
fraudulent voting thereon This is consistent,
at least. He was elected by the grossest and
most baTefaced frauds-fraud devised and exc
cuted by his nearest friends and most trusted
advisers-aDd he is not the man to go back on
his friends. To prevent fraudulent registering
and illegal voting is to say that he shall never
be reelected; and he cannot be expected to say
that. He was deliberately miscounted into the
MayOralty in 1865; he was determinedly swim
died into the Goyernorship in 1868; and he
has respect for the bridge that carried him
safely over. 1t is proverbially ill-mannered to

The President has adopted the view that his
belief Of the intention Of the lawmakers
should control his construction Of the law; and
has accordingly announced his determination
to pay the old wages (ten hours wages) for
eight hours work. This step is certainly cal
cuated to win the hearty approval of the
wOrkingmen engaged in the eight-hour move
ment. We only hope that it may not renew
and intensity the rush of all manner of iders
who fancy that Government work is always

We print herewith a correspondence between
Controller Connolly, Nathaniel Sands and
others, whence we learn that the Controller
has decided to appoint Mr. Sands, along with
Mr.. George II. Andrews Qate Senator from the
OtsegO District), Commissioner Of Taxes and
Assessments for this City. Mr. Sands, advised
and encouraged to do so by a large body of
our principal taxpayers, has decided to accepty
We believe he will prove faithful, energetic
efficient officer, and are glad to find the Office
so well filed.
This does not at all affect our judgment Of tho
Tax Commissioners act passed by our late
Legislature. The main purpose Of the act is
the expulsion of Republicans from Office and
an increase of the power and plunder Of
the Tammany Ring. Good men voted for tho
bill but by far the greater number Of the Re-
publican votes it received were bought and
paid for, just as though they were poultry or
tripe. A decided majority of those Republi-
cans who were not for sale opposed the meas
ure from first to last. while few honest men
we're drawn into supporting it 10y the asSur-
ance that it would disperse nest Of :" "Radi-
"calsp and install different breed OF Rcpub-
icans in their places. The appointment OF Mr.
Andrews as a Commissioner is intended to sat
isfy those who on this ground were induced to
support the bill.
Not one of the reforms that should have
been embodied in this measure will be found
in the act as passed. Instead Of reducing the
Commissioners to two, they are increased to
four while their pay 1--WE understand is raised
from $1,000 to $4,000 each per annum. 1t was
complained that persons had appointments and
drew salaries in the Tax-0ilice who did not
render service there the act does not guard
against this abuse No limit is fixed to
the amount that may be spent by the Com
missioners FOR cleTk-hire. In short, the bill Is
as bad as could be; and those Republicans
who were bribed to support it are cheap ras-
calls, vino concluded that selling themselves
once more or less would make no material diff
ference. Perhaps they were right in that con-
clusiOn.
Mr.. Sands has seen fit to assume grave
responsibility. In accepting a Commissioner
ship, his past career pledges him to take care
that the expenses of the Commission are not
needlessly increased, and that good men are
not expelled from clerkships merely to make
places for the nominees of the Ring. We shall
hold him to that pledge.
