taon reduced to $5sO,OO0000 This is de-
crease of si2,000000, or sixteen millions more
than Mr.. Richardson has expanded our legal
tender circulation in about the same interval.
III To increase tho specie reserve. This
has been effected to tho amount Of s2G.0O0,0O0
since the last week in October the figures
being s145,OOO,OOO on the ssth of October, and
sl7i 100000 on the 5th; of February. During
the week ending on the last mentioned day
four millions in gold were withdrawn from
the Bank of England and sent to Paris as
an effect of the policy of tho Bank OF
France. II is perfectly well known to practl-
cal fnanciers in Europe, that if the rate OF
discount il five per cent in Paris and three
per cent in London, gold will Oe sent from
London to Paris Under ali ordinary circum-
stances, and without regard to the balance OF
trade. Here js a suggestive fact. illustrating
an important truth, which we commend 10 the
attention Of Mr. Boutwell,.
w. To decrease the amount of capital in
vested in Government bonds. The Importance
of reducing the amount Of the Banks loans
to the State as a preliminary to resumption is
woll understood both by the French Govern
ment and by the Bank. The Bank is not so
insane as to ask for the privilege of advancing
more money to tho Government in order that
it may get more bonds as security and pre-
text for expanding its note circulation though
We know not why bank circulation by the
hundreds of millions may not as well be issued
against Government bonds in France ~ IN
America-cxcept that they have tried it IN the
former country to their cost. Within the last
four months the French Government has re-
deemed over sixty million dollars of its debt to
the Bank of France, and for no other purpose
than to facilitate the resumption of payments
by the Bank in specie.
1t would seem that the day of resumption
by the Bank cannot be far distant. On the
5th of February its condition was as follows

Combining the United States Treasury and
the National banks, which, so far AZ resrmp-
ton is concerned, are united as closely ~ the
Siamese twins, we should obtain q very differ
ent showing-in round numbers, Onc-half the
specie double the Government bonds, three
times the loans and discounts fifty per cent
more paper money, and six times as much on
deposit. And yet we are recommended 10
pursue q policy in every respect the exact
reverse of that which restored sound cur
rency to England half century ago, and Is
now about to do the same for France

never can end i'll anything but reputation
and bankruptcy.

GETTING THINGS SETTLED.

The Supreme Court of Massachusetts,, by
few strokes of the pen, have determined that
women may serve upon School Committees,
If the Legislature has no objection. The
Legislature will have no objection. To this
office women hereafter will be eligible in
Massachusetts,. Now what is the lesson which
this teachesf We certainly think that it
should be one of Faith and Trust The pre-
dominant vice of all our reformatOry move
ments is impatience-the desire to build o
moral Rome in day-the determination to
have all wrong nghted between the rising Of
the sun and the going down OF the same
the childish eagerness for cOnclusion-dlsre-
gard of the quality of some questions to settle
themselves. We accept only the last OF
Goethe's motto" Without haste and with
"out restn We will haveiit that Quieta non
,nouere is the devils own maxim. We are like
the boy who pulls up his plant every morning
to show his mother how much it has grown
during the night. We will not understand
the value Of patience. We cannot understand
what Lord Bacon meant by that appeal OF his
TO the next agen OF course, at the bottom
of this irritable feeling there is good deal OF
seliishness--the laborer is in hurry Tor his
hire. But there is also good deal OF that
dlsnterested enthusiasm for the right which
keeps the world sweet.
Whether we talk or keep silence, ii should
be understood that the eternal instinct OF the
will maintains it in the right direction. 1t
would be useless for lis to discuss the prob
able effect of non-discussion, of silence. OF
acquiescence, of let-well-enough alone; be-
cause these tongue tournaments, these pro-
miscuous battles, these surging seas of volu-
bility, these well-intentioned follies and mis-
takes are predestnate. The worst of them is
that they discourage sensitive and sensible
men and women, and keep them out OF the
work when their helD ia ths wast Yaatad IL
