Our roy.!ists have received another re-
buke. Mr.. Eradlaugi. the able ENGLISH
retocmer, las been interviewed BY some
ritngre! Communists. who neithe. com.
prehend his mission nor the u.ans by
which it is TO be fulfilled. They addressed
him a number Of questions savoring
strongly Of petroleum, and were greatly
disappointed at the temperate character
Of lis replies. One Of this visiting com.
nlittee became excited at the tlignifed
reticence of Mr.. Bradlaugh and cried out.
THE Americans are ignorant as pigs.
For my part, had rather live under
monarchy"
To this avowal Mr.. Bradlaugh answer
ed in substance that he would never adj
vocate violence as a means of reform.
That all English history proved no sub
stantial gain had ever been made to con-
liberty by violence. He pre-
ferred the gradual convictions of intelli-
gent experience as means of reforming
political evils And he added this sting
ing rebuke to the petrolean orator: That
f the Americans wanted royal family with
is aristocracy, they were very welcome to

OFF AT HALF-COCK.

The TINES rretends to have found AZ
indignar: Republican who. smarting un.
der the wrongs perpetrated by the Fusion
election managers last November, proposes
to address out OF Office those members OF
the city government whom he deems to
have been Illegally returned as elected. It
even goes SO far as to indulge in threats OF
violence. which can have no other effect
than to possibly brighten away some timid
coQntryman from buying his merchandise
here.
We suggest TO our contemporary to again
peruse the bill Or address which excites
him so, and see if he can not discover a
means Of escape from the evil he foresees.
The quoted clause Of the State constitution
under which it proposes to take action
against Mayor Wiltz and his associates
reads thus:
That all civil officers shall be removable
by an address OF 1wo-thirds of the mem.
bers ele Ct to each house Of the General As.
sembly.
Nov. we very much doub: fla such two.
thirds vote for the purpose specified could
be obtained without. the Fusion members
Of the Legislature. whose seats have so far
been kept vacant for them. should again
foolishly, wickedly. aye. criminally sacri-
fee the interests of their constituents bv
again absenting themselves from their
proper places and duties. So. It Will be
seen, the Mayor and his seven wise coun-
cilors are in 70 very great danger after
all. unless betrayed and deserted by their
own party friends.

Utica journal, in an appeal for better
education, quotes this remarkable declara-
ton Of its New York correspondent: Per
haps there is no feature which would more
surprise a stranger than the general preva-
lence of ignorance among our business men.
do not refer to the common classes Of
tradesmen so much as TO the merchants,
bankers and owners of real estate. What
ever the show Of wealth and the advance
of luxury, the absence of intellectual cul-
ture affords a painful and almost disgusting
contrast

The strongest expression is generally the
briefest and best. Take the old ballads of
any people, and you will find few adjec-
tives. The singer says, He laughed; she
wept." Perhaps the poet of more civil
lied age might say, "ue laughed il scorn:
she turned away and shed tears Of 6:sap-
pointment.' But nowadays the ambitious
young writer must produce something like
this: "a hard, fendish laugh. scornful and
pitiless, forced its passage through his
throat, through the lips that curled in
mockery of her appeal she covered her
despairing face, and a gust and whirlwind
of sorrowing agony burst forth in her IRE
sistible tears

"Our banks action for self-protec.iou.
This IS the consoling title to the flaming
advertisement in q contemporary, through
which depositors in our banks are in.
formed that their money will be unlaw.
fully kept from their possession during
the good will and pleasure of the asso.
clated managers. As a Temporary ezpe-
dlency this action was. perhaps, pardon.
able. but 20 maintain the illegal and ~ BIZ
trary stand thus assumed one hour
longer than absolute necessity demands is
gross outrage upon the rights of cred
itors.
a contemporary has preached the cues.
ton OF the responsibility of the banks 10
deposlto-s who are compelled to shave
their checks in order to obtain currency.
which under many conditions Of business
affairs is q prime requisite. This will
doubtless be determined in the courts.
But even should the banks be made
to sustain this loss. immense an.
noyance. harmful disarfangements Of
business calculations and grea. distress
to the working classes remain. and can
only terminate with resumption Ct cur.
'ency payments to depositors.
We are led TO these remarks by the
openly made and credible assertion that
at least three Of the leading banks IL the !
associa ton are able to resume at once
that they owe no. a dollar to the Clearing
House. ard have an abundance Of cur
rency TO i9uieate il full the deposits on

this be SO. and we believe it is, they
should not hesitate a momen. longer to

chants. manufacturers. contractors, etc.

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.

Inc hard money men are now pressing
their views upon the government, and
urging an immediate resumption Of specie
payments. It is contended that now is
the time for the treasury to pay out gold
tor greenbacks. while currency is so
scarce :ha: spectators would be unable
to corner paper. and thus break down
the attempt. We have little doub. that
this a:gumen: is sound. and that by the
tine TIE United States treasury had re.
deemed few millions. and all the N.
sional banks adopted q similar policy in
reference to thei: own notes. the specul..
tive demand for specie would cease, as the
people generally would prefer the admira.
Bile and more convenient currency now in
use. II the government were to shape its
policy solely with q view to build up the
public credit. doubtless such a policy
would succeed now. But there are other
questions which bear upon this subject,
and which ought not to be disregarded.
There are now in the public warehouses,
or III ships destined for United States
ports. vast quantities Of foreign mer.
chandise. which has been bought ON =
basis Of specie. Such sudden change in
the relative value Of gold and paper would
seriously affect the interests of importers,
and cause them heavy losses. Doubtless
Secretary Richardson is fully sensible OF
this. and deems it his duty to move under
slow bells for while in the direction of
ton.
1t is possible. though, that a medium
course might be pursued with safety. An
order from the treasury to receive a Dor.
ton Ct the customs in paper. say one.

crease from time. to time would work well.
It would bring the two values .ea.e.

'eVenue is more than sutticien: for the

reasury could be used in the work of
