Tee NArEE We DRINE.-ln many parts Of
the town, the drinking water for which our
citizens pay 50 dearly has already begun
ID have that ancient and f,h-like smell pc
caliar t. it during the summer season. A
number Of theories are advanced 70 account
for this. The prevailing opinion scenes to
be that the water being pumped from the
lake through the same main from which it
is drawn by takers, the supply in the re=er-
voir is renewed only at long intervals. and
50 lies there, to .ferment and smell to
Heaven. BE this as itmaY, it surely is not
the business Of those who pay for fresh water
20 seek TO explain why the water Is lad. but
to see to it that they get what they pay for.
When plans were being devised some years
ago for providing the city with water. it
was proposed tina. the Winoo-ki river be
made the source Of supply. This was OBJ
jected TO and voted down, because tie river
was likely, at times, to be shallow. mud
dy, and impure whereas in Lake Cham
plain was a convenient and ncycr-iailinr
reservoir Of pure, fresh water. But what
do We get? \ kind of drink which, in the
opinion of our physicians, is an active
cause in producing many of the maladies
which prevail here in summer. Most TEN
perance Americans travelling IN Europe
Use wine, to avoid drinking the impure
waters Of the cities through which they
pas But there is not a place OF import
ance in Europe where such vile staff Is
drunk as that which =pouts from

Messrs. Barring Brothers & Co. they write
us as follows:
A." misunderstanding with pleasure
what you say in yours Of Doth OF January
relative to the expected legislation, 1t seem.
"a proper moment to call attention to our
suspense ACCOUNT remaining unpaid the
last three years, and which arises from our
effort to support the credit OF the State by
advancing the sum necessary to complete
dividend, and in payment of which, wemay
add, we have no pccuniary interest our
selves. This may fairly be considered
debt Of honer.'
We would ask your EXcellency to be
good enough to review the crcum.
Stances of this case; and should you
fad, IS we believe will be the case, that
the departments of the government OF Viz.
ginia take the same view that MesSrs. Bar.
ring Brothers & Co. do Of the circumstances
to which they make reference, we would
cal! upon your EXceilency, as the Chief
Executive of the State, to communicate the
faels in message to the Legislature, remind.
ing them, in conformity wien the Obligations
of your high office, of the duty they are
under to provide without delay, and in the
best manner compatible with the present cir
cumstances of the Commonwealth, for Inc
prompt liquidation Of this wholly exrp'
tional indebtedness.
We have the honor to be, sir, with great
respect, truly yours,

Exchanging Greenbacks for Five Per
Cent. Bonds the only Financial Re-
form Needed. ''T 80.

r.
Cent. Bonds the only Financial Re-
. form Needed. " .D -"
/ To the Editor of the Tribune: Sir,-If
greenbacks could now he exchanged for
United States five per cent. gold bonds, dol
liar for dollar, we should not be troubled, as
we are likely to be, with an accumulation Of
idle currency in the banks. Had the priv-
ege of converting five per cent. bonds into
greenbacks, dollar for dollar, existed last
September, there would bave been no panic
from an apprehended scarcity of currency.
It would puzzle any man to point out how
greenbacks would be impaired in usefulness
or value by being made convertible at plea
sure into five per cent. gold bonds. It would
be equally difficult to show how five per
cent. gold bonds would be injured II made
convertible at pleasure into greenbacks. One
result would certainly follow upon the essab-
lisbment of inter-convertibility Of greenbacks
and bonds: they would be thencetorward of
eoual value, instead of standing some
Twelve per cent. apart, as ut present. The
United States are pledged to redeem their
green backs In coin at the earliest practicable
moment, but very few seem TO think that
moment has come. 1t is obvious, however,
that the only objection to immediate resump-
ton is the existing discount upon greenDacHs,
and that anything which will reuuce or wipe
out that discount is direct step toward
specie payment. Five per cent. United States
gold bonds being at par, or little above IT,
greenbacks convertible into these bonds
would at once rise to par unless the effect OF
convertlbility should be to reduce the value
of the bonds. 1t is possible, but think not
probable, that the price of the bonds might
be lowered by such measure; but this re.
suit could scarcely be more than temporary
one, while there can be no doubt that the
value Of the greenbacks, and of course OF
our whole credit currency, would be largely
enhanced. see no reason why It should
not rise to par at once, or very soon after the
Adoption of such plan, and in that case
specie pay lneDts would be practically, and,
if deemed expedient, might be technically
resumed.
