THE AIM SHOULD BE RESUMPTION.

The Legislature of New Hampshire on tn.
eve Of adjournment unanimously adopted tn,
following modest, simple, earnest joint reso
luton:
We respectfully instruct our Senators and
request our Representatives in Congress te
use all honorable means to procure the enact.
ment OF such laws at their next session as, by
gradual reduction Of the currency, gradual
accumulation of gold in the United States
Treasury and in the National banks, and a
strict economy in the administration of pub
lie sfairs, shall bring about resumption at the
earliest day practicable.
The body was composed Of Democrats and
Republicans in about equal numbers. Their
calm, deliberate and concurrent request and
instruction is worthy of the serious attention
Of indationists upon one hand and of those
who would resume specie payments with
violent haste upon the other. II is DECLARE
ton of allegiance to the regal power of gold
as the great regulating authority Of all ex-
change and commerce, and of hostility to the
irredeemable paper which has usurpel its
place.
1t is an. appeal to the proper authority, the
Congress of the United States, to undo the
mischief done by its predecessors. II is the
solemn recognition of an imperious necessity
that presses upon the whole nation demand
ing remedy. If other legislatures this win
ter make similar declarations, and if Con-
gress acts upon their instructions, the work of
the presidential platform makers will be
simplifed and abridged.
The sentiment and material interests of the
whole country so strongly lean towards the
of specie basis, that, in all pro-
liability, both the great political parties will |
declare in its favor in brief and general terms.
It is question, in part, of business, and, |
therefore,, such course must be sought as
will best subserye the lawful and useful bust
less of the country. now and prospectively.
t is question, in part, of constitutional au-
hority, and it must be determined for the
axe of the future safety of the country,
whether Congress has the power or not, to
nake money scarce or superintendent, dear or
heap, at pleasure.

WE MUST BE UP AND DOING.

There is much wisdom in the adage that
"what is everybody's business is nobody 8
business" and this has been very forcibly
illustrated in the matter of our building a
railroad to Texas For great many years
this has been the business Of every body in
New Orleans, though occasionally the Legisla-
ture has taken hand in the JOB and farmed
it out to favored corporation, but how poorly
the enterprise has thriven is proven by the
tact that we are almost as far from railroad
connection with Texas to-day as we were
twenty five years ago.
The amount of energy and work, nay, the
amount of money, actually expended in this
matter would. if properly directed, have
given us frst-class railroad many years
since; but it is very difficult thing to get
the people of New Orleans to pull together
either in politics or in enterprises calculated
to develop the material interests of the city.
In contrast with our do-nothing policy we
may point to that steady, silent, brainy and
far-seeing ,eorker, Mr.. Charles Morgan, who
has pushed his individual enterprises forward
N way that should have been instructive to
he people of New Orieana
He rarely talks, and never uselessly. He
oorks and constantly increases and extends |
lis vast business. True, like most capitalists, |
le works primarily for himself, bat necessari-
y large numbers of people are benefited by
lis immense expenditures of money in the
of his enterprises. The latest
Enterprise of Mr.. Morgan is one which will
affect New Orleans in very
erious manner, and it behooves our mer-
hants and citizens generally, to recognize

DanDury NOVEL,
When you see sofa and two lengths
of stovepipe on a front stoop, and a
child on the premises eating a slice of
bread and jam, it is safe to believe that
the family has just moved in. When
you see several windows open, with
lengths of carpet hanging from them,
and child at the front eating bread and
jam, it is an equally sure indication that
the family is cleaning house.
