Silver Payments.

The treasury departments project for
the resumption of specie payment on a
small scale, has been modified, so that
instead of disbursing silver coin in lieu
of currency in sums less than five dol
lars, silver coin will hereafter be paid
out in the fractional parts of one dollar.
1t was semi-oflicially stated one month
ago, when this five dollar silver payment
resumption scheme was inaugurated,
that there were about half million dol
lars in silver coin in the government
treasury, and that by the time that
amount was exhausted, regular sup
ply of silver pieces, probably sufficient
to meet the requirements at the above
rate of disbursement, would be coming
in from the mints, which, it was also
said, would be Immediately put to their
utn ost capacity in the production of
silver coin. Not more than one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars in silver
have been paid out up to this time, and
yet reduction of eighty per cent. is
now made in the amount OF specie al
lowed in each requisition upon the
treasury. Admitting that the major
part of the silver thus far paid out has
not gone into circulation, hut has been
put into the pockets or stockings OF out
side hoarders, there has perhaps been
one good result from this diminutive re-
sumption scheme, namely the treasury

-Speculations as to tho temper Of congress

Oysters Down.

The oyster trade, one of the most i'm
portant in the city, is now suffering Sc
verely, and there appears no early pros
pect of a favorable change. The state
has licensed upward of five hundred
vessels to engage in the catching and
transportation of oysters, and probably
not half that number are engaged in the
work; and those which are at work COM
plain that the low price of oysters pre-
cludes the possibility of a successful
season. The difficulty grows out of the
monetary Irregularities. The packers
being unable to realize money on their
sales, will not go largely into business,
and are now filling special orders. Or
dinarily, this trade amounts to several
millions of dollars per year, and gives
employment to thousands of persons,
men and women; but now those engaged
in the packing houses have work only a
part of the time, and many are entirely
out of work.
On Platt street wharf, the great de-
pot of the oyster vessels, men beg for
work, but there is none to give them,

Religious Songs of the Negroes.

The song oftenest sung during the
second year of the war was that rare
melody, "Roll, Jordan, Roll" Some
times it began
"Massa Linkum sittin' on de tree OBJ life,
Watchin' Jordan roll
Gen'l Fremont sittin on dc tree OBJ life,
Roll, Jordan roll /"
and so on, through list of all the pub
lie men dear to the negro heart. At
another time it began with the name of
the pastor of the church, or the leader
of the meeting, and enumerated dozen
or twenty brethren and sisters as to
whose religious standing there could
be no doubt. remember that on one
occasion, singer introduced the name
of Brudder Brown" when the singing
was interrupted by woman with,
"Does you mean Brudder Peter Brown?
Gaze if you means Fairfax Brown 1
calls for order!" A satisfactory expla-
nation followed, whereupon the conduc
tor of themeeting asked another brother
to "lead in prayer for Fairfax Brown,
and pray that he may return from his
backslidin'. Frequently the song be-
gan with,
"Lo'd Jesus sittin' on dc tree oh life,
Watchin' Jordan roll =
and brought in the names of Moses,
Joshua, Elijah, David. Solomon, John,
Paul, and pretty much everybody else
of good report in the bible, duly eleva-
ting them to position on " de tree OBJ
life, watchin' Jordan ROLL" At times
the white visitor could not help smiling
at the placing there of certain public
men yet it was never otherwise than
delightful to hear the packed audience
strike the notes of this joyful and
swinging and resonant melody.-AHan-
