was recently reported that he had been
hooted and stoned by a boy whose
pioUs wrath was caused by Scruggs' re-
fusal to doff his Ministerial hat to q
Catholic procession in the streets of

was absent from the city at the time.

CAV rnE RANAs HELP Us.

The one great argument against M
mediate specie resumption is that the
government is not yet able 10 inaugu-
rate it. But this hardly applies to the
national banks, and their currency
might easily be placed on a specie basis.
The bonds owned by them, and deposit
ted with the Treasury as security for
their circulation, bear interest In gold,
and are therefore above par. value IN
gold in the markets. The cheapest
series, the new five per cents, are worth
lis, while goldranges at attraction over
10. The other gold bonds range up
to I2O, while the single series of cur
rency skies command over III. These
bonds owned by the banks, being thus
worth more than their face in gold, and
the circulation based on these bonds
being limited to ninety per cent other
face value, it would seem IN easy mat
ter for these banks to redeem their
bills in gold, if the national
banking law were modified with
this view, allowing them to withdraw
and sell their bonds as they retire their
circulation. This would enable COM
merce to determine, by its own ebband
flow, the amount of currency it needed.
Such a scheme of specie resumption
might be connected with.the pending
bill for free banking. 1t is certainly
carious that, among all the wild
schemes suggested during the past
seven months, this plan Of putting at
least half our currency on a specie
basis has never been preached. The
only mixing of it, is Logan'g PROPOSE
ton that national banks should retain
one half the gold interest they receive
on their bonds until their entire re-
serve be gold, which is a good
featuse so far as it goes. There
are two objections, howeFeg, to utiliz-
ing the privileges of the national banks
by coupling Herewith the condition of
specie redemption. The first is, that it
would Immediately enhance the price
of gold, by creating a demand for it
on the part of the banks. But, if the
inflationists are right in asserting that
we have not enough currency, very few
bills would find their way 10 the banks
for redemption. Besides, the tendency
of the plan would be TO increase the
amount of goldi in the country and de-
ter its export. 1t would be curious, if
an increase of the stock or band should
enhance its value. Another reason
WY national bank notes would not
seek redemption - the probability that
they would command the gold pre-
MUM over greenbacks-that is, the
bank note being redeemable in gold,
would, like gold, be worth ll2 in green
back currency. This is the second,
and we suppose under the circum-
stances, fatal objectionto the scheme
its apparent effect of depreciating the
legal tenders of the Government. We
say apparent effect, because there
would be no actual depreciation. The
greenback would stand where it is,
and would buy the same amount, while
the redeemable bank notes would rise
to par gold. The real objection would
be the co-existenee of two kinds OF pa
per Of different values, while the argg-
ment that will settle the question with
patriotic fnanciers is the absurd deter
mination that NJ mans promise to pay
shall be worth more than the Govern
ment's.

THERE is an ulinoisan who appears
to have learned the art of drawing pay.
The Chicago Tribune has this mention
Of him:
The fourth congressional district of
this State Will be pleased 10 hear that
Stephen 4. Hurlbut is charged with
having drawn his salary as Minister to
Bogota up to April, 1873. As he was
elected to Congress in November, 1872,
and had been home for six or seven
months before that time, it is difficult
to see what services he rendered the
country IN return for the $500 he
drew as Minister to Bogota from April,
1872, 10 April, 1873. 1t is not strange
that be was opposed to the repeal Of
the salary-grab. Since he considered
himself worth $500 per annum to the
country when he was doing nothing,
he naturally thought he ought to be
paid at least as much when he was
again in active service

This seems 10 be d good year for in

THE inherent absurdity Of imitation
has never been put so plainly as in the
facetious suggestion of Mr.. S. S. Cox,
Democratic Congressman from New
York. He proposes that every dollar
greenback now in circulation shall be a
legal tender for three dollars, and that
every two dollars shall be five dollars,
and every ten dollar greenback s1al be
a legal tender for three times its pres
ent value. Such an enactment would
accomplish all the results possible from
paper imitation, and has the merit OF
saving the expense of printing. 1t is
at once the simplest and most economi-
cal form that could be adopted, and
