BAD ROYs.

1t is strange that parents and guardians in
this place do not require their boys to behave
themselves different from what they do. 1t
has often been asserted that the boys in Sono-
"a arc the worst boys in the world. While
not willing to subscribe to this assertion we
do say that some of the boys in onr town are
exceedingly bad. 1t would hardly be fair to
throw all the blame and censure on the lads
alone; their parents and guardians are re-
sponsible for the behavior of these children
over whom they should exert some control ;
IT is their duty to require good conduct from
them at all times. While walking the princi-
pal streets of this place and especially at
night. it appears that they collect for the pur-
pose of making the greatest given quantity Of
noise. Among them can be found the infant
of four or FIVE years, up to those full grown
about emerging into manhood. And these
older cnes are generally the toughest. noisest
and most annoying. They will veil and
scream and run along the side walks to the
great annoyance and even danger of men and
women. Parents are acting wrongfully in
allowing their little boys of tender years to
run about the town, u1til nine and ten clock
at night, to be corrupted and spoiled by the
older ones whose example they quickly learn
to follow. Those who have the care and well
fare of the young generation should remedy
this increasing evil, and stop this reprehensi-
be practice of letting them run on the streets
until late at night to the annoyance of good
citizens. These parents would be extremely
mortified if their children should be arrested
for disturbing the peace. Unless there is a
change, measures will be taken to try and
stop these would be young men from acting
so badly-Many complaints have been heard
recently and unless they behave themselves
better they will be placed in a very unpleas-
ant situation-The Parents we'll as boys
should resolve at once to change the perni-
cious habits already taking such deep hold on
our younger generation.

Those fond of "hog and hominy," who
wish to see an imensity of fine bacon, can do
so by calling On John Wolning, at the Centre
Market where everything is kept that is to
be had in well appointed butchers shop,
where can be found fine fat beef and mutton
and blood pudding and ''brains.' John has
made himself famous for keeping none but
the best, which explains the reason why he
has such a rush of trade.

SAVINGS BANKs.-The Bulletin publishes
the statistics of fourteen Savings Banks in
this State. Eight of them are i'll the city OF
San Francisco and six in the other large
towns. The amount of deposits u the banks
in that city foots up S26, ,634, 523. Amount
deposited in the six other banks, s., 259 %.
Total, S2S. .923, GAS. The amountrepresented
is very large one, and is increasing from
year to year. The capital thus invested is
greater probably than the whole amount en-

We do not include the $40, ,000,OO of frac-
tional currency in the statement, leaving it as
an offset to the silver coin In the country.
The proportion of gold to paper money,
exclusive of fractional currency, would be
221 per cent The paper column would hardly
stand on that. The people would be anxious
for gold, having been drained of 1t by the
locking mn process, and would be very likely
to 90 for IL about the first of January. But
Mr.. Summers bill provides for this contin-
genoy. In case there shall not be sufficient
gold in the Treasury to continue specie pay
ments, the Secretary is authorized to buy in
the open market. Then we should have the
curious and novel spectacle of the Secretary
of the Treasury paying gold for greenb acks,
at par. over one counter, and buying gold for
greenbacks, at q premium, over the other.
The national banks, in order to continue
specie payments. would find it necessary to
do the same. That would not last long.
Specie payments would soon be suspended
and the effect upon the public credit and the
country would be disastrous.
It will be recollected that Jay Goulds
President, was that the crops would move
better with gold at 40, and that in order to
keep it there it would only be necessary for
the Government to refuse to sell in excess of
two millions per month. II the withholding
of all the surplus gold in the Treasury in
excess of the two millions month would
enable spectators to corner the market, and
put the premium to so or 100, what would the
hording of the entire surplus, and the with
drawal of eight millions month by the
banks, in addition, accomplish? 1t looks as
if Fisk, Gould, Corbin q Co. had been dining
and wining the Massachusetts, Senator.
The public might well afford to laugh at
these freaks of fancy on the part of our Con-
gressional fnanciers, provided such perform
ances did not tend to demoralize the business
of the country and to depress the industrial
interests of the people. AS it is, so far as re-
CARDS the finances, the country would be better
off if Congress had not assembled, and if it
cannot bring forth anything better than has
been proposed in the Senate, the passage
Of a joint resolution postponing all action
on the finances for one year would be timely
and wise.
The Senate jobs will doubtless be defeated
in the House. The members of the latter
will be called upon to face their constituents
next fall, and will, therefore, be careful to
vote for nothing that is calculated to bring
| distress upon the people. Hence, while the
| Senate would contract the currency, the
| House passed q resolution in favor of inha-
ton. This shows that no measure that pro-
vides for a contraction of the currency can
| pass the House. Therefore, there can be no
| contraction, and, therefore, the talk about
| resuming on the 1st day of January, 1871, OF
| at any other fixed time, is mischlevous non.
| sense.

SUMMERS PLAN.
'incinnati Gazette.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Mr. Summers plan for resuming specie
payments is to first lock up in the banks and
the Treasury all the gold in the country, and,
having thus secured the precious metals, to
redeem, commencing January l, 1871, all
outstanding paper money in specie. His bill,
in the first place, requires the national banks
to lock up one per cent per month of their
liabilities in gold The liabilities of the
banks on the 22d of January were as fol-
lows
Circulation outstanding. .s292, sSs, 1876
Individual deposits...... ........'.'' o4S o36, itS
U. s. deposits 'Saz'i ifo
One per cent. OF this amount is......... s5O7,172
The second section requires the Secretary
of the Treasury to give notice of the resump-
ton of specie payments on the 1st of Janu-
ary, 1871, and provides that he shall retain in
the Treasury all coin hereafter received in
excess of the requirements of the public debt,
and authorizes him, in case this shall not be
sufficient for the purpose of resumption, to
buy in the open market. Now let us see how
this would work.
There was in the Treasury on the 1st in
stant, belonging to the Government, $685.
600, 600 in gold. The receipts from customs
average 125 millions per month. Supposing
Summers plan possible, the Treasury account
would, ON the 1st of January, stand as fol-
lows
Balance on hand. ............. S5s, 100000

Total. .sl7O, 500 900
Interest nine months Observation-Disclosures. 90 1895, 800
Balance LIST of January, 1871 ....... ST. SO4, $40
| The banks would lock up, in the meantime,
$.76, ,564, 54S. The total gold would then
stand as follows-
~ 81, ,3O4, $40
III DahK 76564,54s
~ '''''''' '''' SloS, SOY, loo
The Hon. d. A. Wells estimates the total
amount of gold coin in the country at $780,
OOo,OOO, including that in circulation in Cali
tornia; and the New York Financial Chronicle,
IN an elaborate statistical article, puts it
down at $l60,000,000. OF this amount
$30, ,OOO 900 is held by banks and bankers
and $1O5, ,000,0 900 in the United States Trea-
sury ($44, 600, 900 of the latter belonging to
the public, for which certificates have been
issued and are outstanding). Taking the
highest estimate, then, and we find that in
preparing for specie payments there would be
locked up in round numbers $154, 900. 600
being only $4,000, 900 less than the tota
amount In the country. About that time, we
should think, gold would be scarce, and il
would puzzle importers to secure gold to pa
customs.
