THE CURRENCY.

FINANCIAL SCHEMES BEFORE CONGRESS.
from the Fiasrcial Chronicle.)
Among these we may note the projects
now before congress tor modifying our
monetary laws. There is not much pros.
pect perhaps tina, any OF these laws Will
pass during the present session and IN or
djnarv times such projects have but little
influence. But it is otherwise in period
Of excitement. Some OF these plans are
being urgently pressed forward, and have
really much that is good in them. Mr..
Sumner is urging, for example, before tie
committee of banking and currency, his
plan for submitting compound interest
iur the present legal tenders. Mr.. Mer-
rick, of Maryland, proposes 10 make
grcenbacks receivable for customs instead
OF gold. Mr.. Roberts, Of New York, would
have them rece vable TO the extent of 80
per cent Senator Morrill, would have II
dag fixed for III, resumption of specie pay
ments. Mr.. Garfield proposes ~ pay out
gold for ureenhacks, go many millions n
month, decreasing the premiums one per
cent. per month until the specie basis is
reached. Mr.. Lynch would stamp each
g-eenbacs received in the treasury due in
six months from date, and would reduce
them six months afterwards, re-issuing
them after redemption. Then we have
Mr. Londou's project Of an exchequer
with a capital OF slUo,oo0,ooo and another
somewhat similar scheme by Mr.. Grub,
merchant OF Philadelphia, for reviving
the United States bank and giving the
government more power than ut present
over the banking and currency mechan-
ism of the country. So long as our dcpre-
cia,cd money system is perpetuated, such
schemes will OF course continue to be Of
fered in Congress. But their discussion
tends more or less 10 derange business,
disturb public confidence and is thus pre-
judicial 10 the money market. 1t is diff.
cult. however, to prescribe remedy, and
the evil so far SIS appears must continue
till we resume the specie standard.

THE RAILROAD.

What may in all probability be properly
termed the last effort, is about to be made,
we are informed, in behalf of the long talked
of Hartford County Railroad, from Magnolia
to this place. We say the last effort, because
those subscriptions already obtained expiring
by limitation, unless the work is placed UNI
der contract by the first of May next, fany-
thing is TO be actually accomplished, the eff
fort must be at once renewed, and all prelim-
inaries adjusted during the coming fall, or
we will possibly be too late to secure what
help is already promised, and in that event
the road will be necessarily abandoned for an
indefinite length of time to come Our cor
respondent, Enterprise" expresses himself
on the railroad theme, in vigorous language,
as will be seen by his communication in an
other column, but not more plainly in our
opinion than the subject warrants and de-
mands. The corporators of this road cannot
leave anything undonc in this matter, that is
in their power to accomplish, without incur
ing grave responsibility to the people of
this section ofthe county, who are so pressing
ly in need of Il railroad to develop our pros
perity, That they have done SO, or are inclin-
ed to sit with folded hands, and see the last
opportunity slip away from their grasp, we
are not by any means warranted at this time
in charging, Wesimpy say that the time has
arrived for action. How that time will be i'm
proved we all wait with anxiety to see.
In this connection we arc panied to have to
record the death of one of the most public
spirited of the gentlemen who corpose that
board.-Dr. Thomas L. Bond, whose death
is noticed elsewhere We presume that Il
meeting will be held TO fill the vacancy as
soon as it is proper to do So

will commence with the Main street in Bel
Air, which well deserves the attention of the
public officers of the county and who ought to
make it their business to attend to the matter
Immediately. Instead of the muddy, jagged and
uneven roads which we now have, we should
have finely beaten turnpike roads, well covered
with gravel have the street well drained and
especially, for the sake of the ladies, put your
pavements in good order; for now they are in
miserable condition; in many places the bricks
all broken up, large pools ofmud and water dur

People, as a class, think that lcvying money
for the use of repairs on the county and town

away money. In this they are greatly mistaken.
Does not the county have to pay for having the
work done? 1t is for this purpose the money is
mostly levied. The hired laborer has to live.

spends his money. This is not wasting money
it is only more equally distributing the large
quantities controlled by some among those who
have not so much thus making life and taxes
easier for all.
1t is much the same way in regard to the rail
road. People think that they will never reap
any benefit from an Investment of this kind
Even if they never received one cent of interest

ten.fold better off than they were without Il

Rev. Thomas L. Bond, NJ. ID,

In the decease of the well-known aid uniyer-
sally esteemed gentleman whose name heads this
communication, our community has sustained u
most severe loss.
DR.. Bond has for several years past, save oc-
casional business visits to the city of Baltimore
made the old family homestead in Hartford, set
tied by his ancestors upwards of q century ago,

reposc SO grateful to the tired mind after those
intellectual laOors oceasioncd by the self-im-
posed duties of principal editor of q leading re-
ligious journal, the organ of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South.
In the field of religious controversy Dr. Bond
was in his true element. His denlncation of
the politico-rcligious element that had been in
troduced into the economy the Northern Meth
odist Church, were masterpieces of eloquent
and unanswcrablc arguments, Joined to the Sc
verest sarcasm and cutting irony. In these en-
counters with the leading minds of the Northern
Church, the ingenious and skillful manner in
which the pondcrous mace Of Richard Occur de
Leon would be exchanged for the keen and gilt
tcring cymeter of Saladin, was truly magnificent
and afforded, particularly to the disintcrcsted
reader, glorious treat.
Notwithstanding the earnestncss with which,
what he considered error, was combattcd, still
there was neither venom or hatred. lie fought
for what he conscientiously believed to be the
right, and doubtless by his straight forward and
honest course caused some to consider the mov-
ing spirit to be bgotry and prejudice, but in this
tney greatly erred. NO one possessed more true
Christian charity than DR.. Bond, while demand
ing for himselfthe right to condemn what he be-
lieved to be wrong in others, he conceded to
them the full right to entertain their errors

This brief tribute to his memory is the gar
