Charity Benefit Mt the Academy of Mus

Charity Benefit Mt the Academy Of Music.
This place of amusement was filed last
night, as it should have been, by those who
in these times seldom visit theatre, but on
this occasion came to contribute their mite
in the cause of charity for the sufferers by
overflow. 1t will be remembered Mr.
David Ridwell, the manager and proprietor
of the Academy, generously offered to give
this entertainment and turn over the entire
proceeds, without deduction, to the Mayor,
for the cause we have indicated. 1t was q
princely donation, and should yield to the
benefit fund sum in the neighborhood of
$1,000. This prompt and noble action on
the part of a single donor, manager who
is just closing. one of the most Improbable
seasons ever known at his theatre, should
not soon be forgotten by our people. 1t
was an unsolicited charity, and more beau
tiful and better for that reason.

having eet fire to the building. He asserts
his ability to prove his innocence.
New-York tribune., 1874-08-15
PROPOSALS FOR IN ECONOWC4L AND
UNIFORM CURRENCY.

l. Let Treasurer Spinner, after receiving
and asserting the bank notes sent IN to him
| for redemption, charge them against the vari-
ous banks which issue them and return legal
tender notes for them, as he does now.
2. Let Congress, as soon as 1t assemblies IN
| December, authorize the Treasurer, in place
of returning the bank notes to the various
issuing banks for redemption, to charge them
against the bonds belonging to the banks and
held by the Treasurer as security for CIR
culation and then destroy them.
8. Let the bonds remain with the Treasurer
as security for the United States, as the holder
OF the notes thus cancelled and destroyed
4. Let the limit of the legal tender circula-
ton be enlarged by an amount equal to the
bank notes so Cancelled and destroyed, and
gradually extended until the entire bank note
circulation is replaced by greenbacks.
5. Let the cost of keeping up the legal
tender circulation be assessed on the banks In
proportion to the ratio of their notes replaced
by greenbacks to the aggregate OF greenbackS
issued.
q. LET the tax on bank note circulation,
five per cent deposit, and bonds lodged with
the Treasury as security remain as at present.
7. Whenever bank fails, or wishes to with
draw its circulation let it send to the Treasury
ereenbacks equal to its circulation and with
draw its bonds, or let the Treasurer obtain the
greenbacks by selling the bonds, as under the
existing law, and diminish the legal tender
circulation by Il sum equal to the bank clrcu-
lation thus withdrawn.
WHY is this not a good plan for an
economical and uniform currency 1t would
he uniform because it would be all green
backs. 1t would be economical because 1t
would save express charges and the extra
expense of printing from two sets OF plates,
and would secure the gain for the United
| States as Government, the loss which
the people of the United States sustain
when their bank notes are burned up, OF
blown away, or otherwise destroyed when
in private hands 1t would obviously
neither expand nor contract the currency. 1t
would strengthen the legal tender reserves OF
the banks and increase their loanable power,
lust az we increase the digging power of a
shovel by calling it a spade. 1t would pro-
vide increased security against c0unterfets
1t would facilitate the operations of Wall
Street and put an end to the absurd discount
ON National bank notes at certain seasons OF
the year. Finally it would enable the people
of the United States to estimate the true value
of the so-called redemption of bank notes
provided for by the new law, and enable them
to see that the effect of that law Is simply to
| compel the banks to keep seventeen millions
of money locked up in the Treasury, fol
which they obtain the privilege of dispensing
with reserve against circulation. and practi-
cal immunity from the obligation to keep a
reserve for the security of their deposits.

ALTOGETHER TOO GOOD.

Mr. Jingle, in the whole course of his ras-
cally career, never did a better stroke of DuSl-
ness than when he attached himself ID the
person of the excellent Mr. Samuel Pickwlck.
With the aid of that benignant and unsus-
pecting man he preyed upon society, destroyed
the peace of vrtuOus households. got INTO
respectable families under false pretenses, and
swindled everybody he came in contlct with.
The black CATERS and beaming spectacles OF
his benevolent friend carried him through.
Nobody could imagine the existence OF guile
in the company of 80 much virtue and respect
ability.
Do5s shepherd perhaps, and other wicked
persons in Washington, remembered PIck-
wick when they resolved To take adyan-
tage OF the venerable Luke p. Poland. Pro-
tected Nv his placid countenance his ire
proachable blue coat, and his inSpriting brass
buttons, they have succeeded in imposing
upon Congress, and getting a vast amount of
surreptitious legislation. In particular they
have used Mr. Poland to secure the gag-law,
and they have deceived him completely re-
spcc;ins its meaning that he even made
a defense of it the other day be-
fore the nominating convention IN MS
district lie told his hearers that libel
was not made an oilense by any United States
statute. and that consequently nobody could
be prosecuted for libel under the Poland Gag
Law in the District of Columbia. IL Is a very
curious fact, which Mr. Poland forgot to men
ton. that since MS Gag Law was passed. two
suits hare been instituted under it (notwith-
standing that he says such proceeding Is
impossble), and another Indictment has been
pressed upon the Grand Jury, though as yet
no bill has been returned; and the simple ex-
planation of this is that libel in the District
is a common law 0fense. If Mr. Poland did
not know what the law would accomplish
those who framed it certainly did. Inc YER

There is still, as there has been among

lief in it, and even to denounce those who did

by Mr.. Betchcr's statement, and fully believe
that he has been the victim of a conspiracy;
but they want to know all the facts. May
these soon come; and may the best hopes OF
