sENATE PLAN FOR SPECIE RESUMPTION.
Tilo Republican Sonators hayo waived I'll
individual opinions, and have agreed to pro-
pose in tho Senate, and pass, bill relating to
Tho finances which snail embody tho follow
ing general provisions:
i. Thnt spccie-pnymcnts bo reBumca Jan.
l, 1S7o,-four yeara hence.
2. Free banking, nbolishing tho existing
monopoly.
8. The retirement Of the fractional ourrou-
cy, and substitution therefor Of small silver
coinage.
!. 4 retirement Of greenbacks i'll tho pro-
portion OF 80 per cent Of the additional M
tionnl Bank currency rs iasned, until tho ng-
gregate in reduced TO $500, 100000 Of greon-
backs.
s. Tho Secretary Of tho Treasury to uso
surplus specie in the Treasury or to sell bonds
to reduce tho Treasury notes down to :s30o,-
ooo,o0o.
This bill is sll right SO far as 1t goes, but it
falls far short of what Congress ought to do.
It is, However, oommout3ablo for several rea-
sons, and first, becaugo it is ar affi,manco ot

WHAT MR. RICHARDS DIo.
lic Rurallzes Wisely but Not TOO Well.

On Friday morning about an hour
before dinner, the family of Mr.. Tai
burt, living four miles east of this city,
was persuaded by young gentleman,
who gave his name as Richards, to en-
terrain him until the following day, as
he was foot sore aud generally tagged
out from much peregrinating. The
hospitable farm-iolk touched by the re.
duced vitality plainly photographed on
the languishingR's face, babe the sup
plant enter. On the, second day r..
indicated n robust wish TO inhae coun-
try air day longer, and feast on the
fat of the hushandman's board for three
additional meals. This desire to con-
tinue his sojourn carried to the nOstrils
ofhis entertainers the exhalations from
y defnnct rat and they explicitly
declared that their guests figure would
appear to better advantage departing
from the premises, II. at once stepped
g. 70 & 4
to his room for minute, from
which apartment he subsequently dis
appeared to the mystification of the
Ialburts. On Investigation it was
found that their retired guest had i'm
proved his days confinement to the
room set apart for him by exalting the
lids Of various.trunks belonging to the
family, penetrating their Enclosures,
and selecting such as he thought he
might need. Then couple of the Tai
burts and few of the neighbors took
up grand march after Mr.. Richards,
and that male chicken was caught n
couple of miles from this city, yester-
day, aud brought in and placed in the
hands Of Sheriff Barkley, who graded
him on Houston street to await the
proper nursing by the judiciary.
