SPECIE PAYMENTS

At last it looks as II the n UGH long
ed for and needed resumption Of specie
payments was near at hand. Our dis
patches Of yesterday show that the use
Of silver In the place Of those filthy
rags now serving the place Of fractional
currency in the East, Is becoming CON-
mon, and the opinion OF the Director
Of the United States MINIS that silver
will be in general circulation at the
East by the first proximo, Il entitled
to credit. Why should 1t not be so ?
To-day silver bullion a be bought
for greenbacks, coined and put In cir
culation at an absolute profit ; and rs
to the cry Of a scarcity, the immense
stores Of silver bullion now held at our
financial centres on speculation and
for higher prices, negative any such
theory. We believe that Immediate
resumption Is feasible, and regard the
action of the Chicago bankers In send
ing their bullion to the Philadelphia
Mint to DO coined into halves and
quarters, as the entering wedge which
which will open up the question to a
practical solution. It must come some
time, and 'the way to resume IL to
resume" This nation should and
must have a currency which Is worth
its face, not only In our internal trade
but in the markets Of the world.

The Times Is our authority for the
statement that Ex-Governor b. Gratz
Brown has announced openly that he
Intends running as a candidate for
Representative from Iron county at
the next election. The Times says
that Gov. Brown will do this tor the
purpose Of repeating the coup made
by General F. P. Blair In 1870, and
succeeding to the chair now occupied
by Senator Carl Schurz." We should
be glad to see a man Of Gov. Browns
talents In our State Legislature. Mis-
souri, ia greatly In need Of some useful
legislators, aud Gov. Browns expert
ence as executive has made him fully
acquainted with the def cts Of u laws
many particulars. As our Legislature
Is now constituted, there ID little hope
Of any reform proceeding from 1t.
The men who direct its deliberations
and influence It's action have acquired
q reputation for ignorance and unscrrr-
pulousness, and honest men OF all par
ties have united In denouncing the
body for in~etllciency. We hope the
inference Of the Times, that Governor
Brown simply desires to use the posi-
tlon as a vantage ground for a contest
for a seat In the United States Senate,
has no foundation. He "a do the
State some service In the Legislature,
but there Is no call for him ut Wash

Nothing Done.

The Congress of the United States
has adjourned without doing anything
towards un,avelling the New Orleans
ENHANCEMENT. This is as every one
expected. 1t has been evident from
the first that the Radical majority In
tended to sustain the Kellogg Govern
ment whether that Government was
right or wrong. All the Investigations
and reports of committees were intend
ed only as pretended show of honesty
in getting at the desired result just as
the Credit Mobiier investigation never
was intended to result in any harm to
any of the leading Radical Congress
men. And, for fear that Congress
might commit some blunder in the
matter, the President sent them mes
sage which did the work effectnally.-
He tells them that, unless they 90
something. he will recognize and sus-
tain the Kellogg Government. This
was as good as saying "if you want
Kellogg maintained, do nothing at all
aud | will take care of him." They
took him at his word.
Moreover, we understand that since
the adjournment Grant has gone much
further than he ever went before. All
the reports-even the only one that
sustained Kellogs-agreed in the de-
nunciat;on Of Durell's action as a gross
and outrageous usurpatiou. Grant and
his Cabiuet have discovered that his
acts were all perfectly legal and a
proper basis of action in recognizing
the whole superstructure that has been
erected on them. The logical deduc-
ton from this action is, that no matter
what majority the opponents of Re-
pnblicanism may have in a State, a
Radical administration will see that it
shall accomplish nothing against the
Radical party. And yet this is a gov
eminent Republican in form!
