Academy of Music.

The opening Of the regular season at the
Academy last evening. was au ovation to
the new performers. We need not speak of
them in detail, for the fact that the
Academy was literally jammed from pit to
dome, will be a sufficient advertisement OF
the specialties of the occasion. That old
favorite OF New Orleans, Miss Jennie Engcl,
never sang more swcctly or met with a
more cordial welcome than last evening.
Again ami again, and again and again. she
was called ont by the most earnst and
tumultuous encores, which must have been
pleasing to her. Everything about the
performance Was excellent, aud especially
were the wonderful trapcze performance of

Mr.. Grinnell will Probably be Retained.

We learn that a movement of considerable
Importance is now going forward to Dust Mr..
MOSES II. GRINNEIL from the Custom House
in this city. 1t originates not with politicians
ofthis State, but with gentlemen from abroad
of high influence in the Republican family.
lie motive is simply the welfare of the party.
In the opinion of these philosophers, the
Custom House is most efficient political
machine, but its power is now thrown away
through Mr.. GRNNELL's incnpacity. They
think that if this State is ever to be regained
by the Republicans, and if the party is to
try TO carry the next Presidential election, 1t
must begin at once to employ 10 the best pur.
pose al its resources. To keep Mr. GRIS-
NELL in lis present place is equivalent, they
believe, to throwing away every chance OF
success in the future.
II is evident that this is correct reasoning.
No doubt tho. patronage of tie Custom
House, as now administered docs more harm
than good to the Republican organization
Put that is not n motive for removing Mr..
GRISNELL with which those who are not poll.
ticians and partisnns can feel any sympathy.
The real reason why he should be dismissed
is that he is not capable Of collecting the
revenue. lie cannot perform decently well
the work of the office. This is proved by his
transactions with his fraudulent friend and
deputy, S Il. BLATCUFoRD. After BLATcH
FoRD's frauds were found out Mr.. GRIS
NELL cxcrted himself TO hide them lie gave
BIATcuFoRD q leave Of absence which facil
itated his escape and he has since paid 10
his detectcd r0L6er Of The Treasury public
money to which he had no claim whatever,
and which the Collector had no right TO
pay. BLATcHFoRD demanded the money, and
Mr.. GRINNELL did not dare to refuse il. This
is great deal better reason for removing
him than the fact that he distributes the
Offices in q way to injure the Republican
cause.
But will the effort TO remove him be sue

Resumption of specie Payments.

If Congress will instruct the Secretary Of the
Treasury to pay in coin demand the legal ender
notes and destroy what he thus re deems. and at the
same time instruct him to receive coin on deposit.
and pay per cent per annum coin interest upon
such deposits, the Government can resume, to-
morrow, AMI maintain specie payments forever.
More coin would come In on such deposits than
would be demanded. Possibly the first dash might
reduce the coin In tie Treasury q few millions, but
probably not dollar. Every day the legal tenders
would be less By SO much as was redeemed and dc
stroyed and every day the coin would be increased
by so much as we take out OF our mountains. The
effect Of the knowledge OF such instructions to the
Secretary would likely be % put the legal tenders TO
par in coin lnstantcr. The volume OF our currency
would be increased by Just SO much as We hold coin
and bullion In the country, probably not less than
s4OO,OO0,O0O. Property would advance In price,
business would increase, and The debtor class would
be benefited.
Again, II Congress will restore the night that
hoders of legal tenders had to fund them into per
cent bonds the legal tenders would go to par at
once The per cents OF 81 are about 90 per cent
in com now new $40 per cent. Of 1870 would be
at Iar In coin under such change before they could
be issued Then We would be back 10 specie pay.
mens tcbon using dolldr Ia coin, the legal ten
ders would be par In coin, and yet not payable in
coin nor receivable for duties. and nobody would be
killed; the old issues OF Government debt would be
worth much On COIN as now
In this case also, the legal tenders funded should
be destroyed. just as anybody would destroy an OBJ
