The shooting Of burglar BY Mr. Knisely,
on Monday night, was nn exceedingly
prompt mode of Kidding society Of one of
that class Of miscreants. The dead body of
the man attests the effectiveness of the
shot. The circumstances under which he
was fred at, justify the homicide. The
equipment of the burglar proved the char
acter Of his business, and 1eaves no doubt
as to the intentions of his visit. But there
is mystery ns to who the dead man is, or
Was. The police and tho detectives arc all
at fault as to his identity. They do not
recognize In him any person known to
them, either IS q criminal or otherwise
The scrap of paper found IN the wallet
bearing name, conveys to the police
no information. From all this, We are
to infer that he YVES stranger in this
city, and that this wns one of his earliest
ventures. He chose remote part of the
city US the field of his operations least like
y to be interfered with BY patro1nen, but
the result shows in avoiding the risk of
arrest he met his death. It is not often
that burglars meet with their deserts 30
promptly, and, if the precedent set in this
case could be as happily followed in half a
dozen Others, the profession would be apt
to avoid this particular latitude. In the
widely scattered territory Of Chicago, there
are many points which the police, however
vigilant, cannot protect, and it is well,
under such circumstances, that citizens
should be prepared, as in this case to meet
the criminal at the threshold, and dispute
his entrance with powder and ball.

Lbs currency question Is an absorbing
one-in fact it takes up time as sponge
drinks water, except that no amount of
pressure can get anything out Of it. Be-
fore US are twenty-seven currency bills,
more or less, all showing that Congress.
wherever else it may be lacking, has sur-
plus of fnaueiers. Here is A1r. 4, Of
Pennsylvania, who wants three hundred
millions of five dollar bills printed on bass
wood bark stepped in sassafras ten He will
explain by the hour, with copious citations
from the annals of the Bank Of Genoa,
how sassafras ten strengthens the public

the sassaftas tea at par for the basswood

GENERAL aARF1ELD's CURRENCY BILL

The House OF Representatives, yesterday,
passed General Garhsld's Currency bill It
provides that 395, 900, 600 Of additional
bank currency shall be issued to States and
Territories having less than their propor-
ton Of currency under the provisions
of the original act-the notes to
be secured in the same WAY
as those heretofore issued and
that, as fast As they are issued, the secre-
tary of the Treasury shall call in, redeem,
and cancel an equal amount of per
cant certificates now outstanding and form
ing part Of the reserve fund Of the e1-
listing banks, until they are all redeemed.
It provides, also, for the withdrawal of
81, ,000, 600 Of currency from States hav-
ing an excess, and the distribution of the
same to States and Territories having
a deficiency, but this withdrawal and
redistribution Is not to take place until the
s95, ooo, 600 OF additional currency is taken
up. All the compulsory clauses in the bill,
as originally reported, are stricken out.
The bill, as passed, possesses consider
able merit It il distinct and palpable
step, though not very long one, toward
specie payment, without any coercive msa-
sures or any expenditure Of force to bring
th8t result about. The whole amount Of 3per
cent certificates outstanding is 445, $40, ,0o0-
These certificates answer the purposes Of
an equivalent amount OF greenbaeks as q
part of the reserve fund Of the existing
banks As they cannot be withdrawn until
an equal amount of bank notes are issued,
there cannot be any contraction of the ag-
gregate amount of the currency, but there
Will be, necessarily, IN Improvement in the
quality Of the whole currency, as the banks
VII he Obliged to make their reserves good
with something else, either greenbacks or

The bill, as originally reported, con-
tanned provision requiring the withdrawn
and cancellation of about $50, 600, 900 Of
greenbacks, in addition to the e7S45, ,010, 900
Of 5 per cent certificates, so ns to make the
whole amount of the old currency retired
equal to the whole amount Of the new cur
teuey issued. But the House was not ready

is, perhaps, ias well, looking at the
subject from political as well as fnnn-
ciai standpoint, to make the experiment
first with the per cents, md, IL it is found

taking another step, by issuing new notes,

nothing. For the present, the Withdrawal

Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, has pro
posed novel, but very effective, mode Of
abolishing the franking privilege. His bill
reads: s'That, after November l, 1870, nll
matter now mailable according to Inv, shall
be transmitted free OF charge" Mr.. Fowler
might enlarge his scheme still further by
providing for free transportation Of pas
sengers and live stock on all mail trains,
and, if so disposed, could extend that free
dom to the high seas. In fact, he might
provide that the government take charge
generally Of all our business affairs, and
leave Us nothing to do but pay taxes md
bless our paternnl government
