SPECIE RESUMPTION

1t is the disgrace of journalism that it made
public, regardless of consequences, the quiet
project of Secretary Richardson to resume
specie payment with the $2j0,0O0 in silver in
the Treasury. Ii was rash, incOnsiderate
brutal. Had his plan not been rushed into
print by some Washington correspondent who
subordinated to journalistic enterprise the
great principles of finance and the welfare of
the country, by this time the jingling of the
half dollars, and quarters and ten cent pieces
would have been heard in hundred thousand
bar-roOms, and the panic would have been over
Popular indignation, sweeping and severe.
should be visited upon the head of the shame
less malefactor who divulged the plan. Natu-
rally enough, Secretary Richardson, who had
made all his arrangements to surprise the
country with q deluge of $250,000 in silver, is
angry about it, and has made up his mind not
to resume so suddenly. And no one can blame
him. more provoking thing has seldom
happened to great Minister Of Finance in
the midst of his career.
We do not know precisely how Mr.IRichard-
son proposed to resume specie payments or to
get this S25O,OOO into the hands of the people
without their knowledge. Nobody knows. 1t
The secrets Of finance, and especially of
our system of finance, are not to be
pried into by the careless common mind.
Those of us who have seen Mr.. Hartz and
other professors of magic take half-dolars and
quarters out Of the most ridiculous and unex-
pected places where there was no sign of any
specie to the average observer, know that
these things are not only possible but easy.
Undoubtedly Secretary Richardson's arrange
ments for just such performance were per-
feet had they not been lnterfered with by the
untimely enterprise of the newspapers. We
might not have been able to understand how
it was done ; but what Of that We do not
understand Treasury bookkeeping aud can
not hope to in this vale of tears
We should have had the silver, and
that would have been enough. Meu who hung
up their pantaloons at night without n cent OF
money in the pockets and found them full of
half-dollars when they took them down in the
morning would not have gone round asking
foolish questions abOnt how the money got
there. The popular eye would have slowly
and gravely winked at Richardson. and Rich

At last the Chinese Government have taken
into their own hands the breaking up of the
coolie trade. A dispatch says that all vessels
engaged in this nefarious trafhc have been
ordered out Of Chinese waters, and cruisers
are detailed TO watch for and intercept cOohe
junks. Foreign ships only have been engaged
in the export of tho wretched slaves; and
the flags of Portugal and Peru have most
commonly been used to cover these human
cargOes. Foreign Governments, with the e1-
ception Of that of the United States, have
done little or nothing to assist China in de-
stroying the cOole trade, until Japan was able
to set good example in the seizure of the
Maria Luz. The japanese Embassy to China
made forcible presentation at Pekin of the
whole case and it is not unreasonable TO
suppose that that plea from friendly neigh
Dor had great influence in moving the sluggish
Government OF the Central Flowery Kingdom
to take decisive steps TO wipe out national
disgrace.

As soon IA the news of tho Phelps defalca-
ton reached us, we called upon tho state
authorities to lose no time in thoroughly In
vestigating the circumstances under which the
Treasury had been robbed of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. This was duty
especially incumbent upon them at this time,
because both the Controller and the Treasurer
were candidates upon opposite tickets for re-
election. 1t was of the utmost Importance
that the people of the State should know
before the election day how far these two
officers were responsible for this loss and
scandal. But as it soon became evident that
no prompt action in this direction was TO be
expected from those in charge of the case, we
sent capable correspondent to Albany to ex-
anime and report upon the matter Ills ac-
count which We publish this morning, is the
first ineligible statement as yet made OF the
method of doing business in the offices oil the
Treasurer and the Controller, and OF the points
in which this method conflicts with or fails TO
meet the reouirements of the law. We regret
to say that this report does not exonerate the
Controllers office so fully as we wished II
might. Ii the strict letter of the law had been
compled with by a monthly comparison of the
bank accounts, the Treasurer's books, and the
Controllers cash accounts, the defalcation OF
Phelps would have been discovered more than
month earlier, even if it had been committed
the strong probability being that he would
have refrained from the crime if the diSci-
Mime of both offices had been more consclen-
tiously rigid. A lax administration is con-
slant temptation to crime, and neglect of the
| law in superiors u fatally demoraliznS to
| subordinates.

PUT our THAT LIGHT"

Quite good joke took place at Cape
May on Wednesday night. After ''taps''
gallant Colonel, who had given posi-
tive orders that all lights should be ex-
tinguished at eleven o'clock, was SUR
prised to see brilliant light through
the canvas of his tent. The sentry at
his door was ordered to call the officer
of the guard, which he did. While
the officer of the guard was coming
the light faded from the view of the
Colonel, and after the officer of the
guard had made his appearance and had
made his salute and was receiving n
reprimand for neglect of duty, that
light doomed up again. The Colonel
in passion said: Now, sir, you tell
me some one is not fooling with those
lights" (the camp lights. $50 at
once and attend to it." The Adjutant
raised the flaps of the tent and showed
the Colonel the lights from the Cape
May light house. Apologies and ex-
PLANTATION took place and the Colonel
said no more about lights after "taps. :"
The above from the Trenton Empori-
UNI will be appreciated by the boys of
the Third, but they won't tell which
Colonel it was.

GOOD TEMpLARs IN COUNCIL !.

Over hnndred members of the or
der of Good Templars, representing
Onward and Prosperity lodges, of this
city, last evening paid fraternal visit
to Good Will lodge, of Railway. The
members of the lodge from the port, .
Prosperity, went in carriages. Delega-
tons were also present from New rk.
Remarks were made by Rev. Mr..
Wheeler, and Messrs. Ropes, Ludlow,
Springer, LOCKER, Upson, and Dunlap,
of Newark. At the conclusion of these
pleasant exercises. refreshments were
introduced.
During the evening, several songs
were sung by a quartette club. A lady
also sang one or two solos. The meet
ing was one of the largest and most en-
thusiastic ever held by the Good Temp
lars of Union county, and the three
lodges represented last evening will be
greatly strengthened by the gathering.
Good Will lodge celebrated its anniver-
sary under pleasant circumstances, and
extended an earnest invitation to all of
its friends to call again.

THE DIFFERENCE.

When I was boy, and went to my
school,
Ny teacher then had, as q fixed, stand
ing rule,
For all the scholars to learn,
A rule of politeness for girls and for
boys,
That, in presence of strangers, they re-
refrain from all noise,
And each be polite in their turn.
And when they should leave the school
room for play,
And person should pass along the
highway,
Each boy should bow down his head,
And the sweet little creatures in aprons
and curls,
From the smallest one, up to the largest
class girls,
Shonld make low courtesy instead
How pretty it looked, to see a whole
school,
Drawn up in line, observing this rule,
Toward stranger, or parent, or friend.
For it proved that their minds were
filed with love,
To their fellows on earth, and their Ma
ker above,
And that their lives would peacefully
end.
How changed is the scene as we pass by
school,
In this day of progression, for we find
new rule,
For the actions of girls and of boys,
And instead of kindness, politeness,
and grace,
A brickbat, or SNOWFALL, come plump in
ones face
For they play with such things as with
toys.
And should you reprove them, be you
ever SO kind,
By gentle reminder, that your eye is
near blind
Then, perhaps, you will hear loud
shout
"Get out of the way, then, get, get out
old boss;
We belong to base ball club, and are
learning to toss,"
And thought we were putting you out p
Then why is this change, yes, why is
it so?
Is the question 1 ask, and none seems
to know,
Why politeness has fled from our youth,
But it's so, it is so, one and all now
exclaim:
What shame 4! what q shame what
shame
That the poet must write this sad truth.

AT half.past two yesterday afternoon
at the Broad street crossing Central rail-
road, coal train had just passed up the
road, when horse with loaded cart
was driven on the track to cross it, the
flagman having leisurely put away his
flag without looking on the other track
AS the horse was about one-half the
way over, an engine and two freight
cars came backing down the south
track, and stopped within four or five
feet of the horse. The driver who had
the s!eed under control, turned just in
time to save himself and horse serious

AN AFFECTINGI SCENE.

AN ADOPTED GIRL CARRIED OUT OF A
COURT ROOM BY HER FATHER.
A peculiar and affecting case, in
which the power obtained through
writ of habeas corpus was exercised, oc-
cupied the attention of Judge Colvin
yesterday, and wrought more upon the
sympathies of the officers of the court
and the spectators than any which has
been tried for many a long day.
Five or six years ago one John Tobin
and his wife cultivated mutual dislikes
until there was separation-the hus-
band claims because OF the Incorporate
habits of the wife. They had two child
rem, which Mrs. Tobin was allowed to
retain, and one of whom was Lizzie
Tobin, then two years old. The hus-
band does not appear to have taken any
concern about the mother and children
at that time, whether because the latter
were troublesome charges then or not
has not been stated. but he dropped
out of their history after the separation
and only turned up few weeks ago.
In 1868 Mrs Topin died at the City
Hospital and the question arose as to
where home could be found for the
orphans. Mrs. Dillon, one of the
nurses, was solicited by an aunt of the
girl Lizzie to find couple who would
rear and educate her as their child, and
such was found in VIM. and Mrs. Blake,
themselves childless. The child was
taken to the comfortable home provid-
ed, and grew up the past five years the
pride of the household, and becoming
the centre of their affections.
Then, when she was seven years old
Tobin put in an appearance, represent
ing that he had for nearly five years
been ignorant of her whereabouts. He
demanded possession of the grown-up
girl, and Blake, under, all the circum-
stances OF the case, refused to crafty
him. Tobin had married again since
the death of his wife, and being Sc
conded in his demand by wife No. 2,
although she was stepmother, he in
voked the power. An alternative writ
being obtained, the girl was brought
into court by the Blakes yesterday
She was well dressed and sat between
them playing with o fan entirely igno-
rant of the affair in which she was the
conspicuous figure. Blake in his re-
turn to the writ set forth that the child
had been given to his wife at the City
hospital by the aunt; that he had
"ever since treated her with kindness
and affection that he had no children
of his own, and that both himself and

A cAMANcHE WAR IN PATERSON.

Ned Buntline's Camanche Indians,
who performed in our city during the
past spring, were in Paterson on Mon
day night, and fought between them
selves in the afternoon rehearsal. They
fought each, other in true Modoc style,
to the terror of the white performers,
who fed from the stage. The fight
was finally ended by the arrival of a
policeman, whose badge they seemed to
respect. The trouble was about a
squaw belonging to the troupe, whose
attentions were claimed by two In
