SDecie Payments.


A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Sunday Tribune, dated Wa, hington,
September, 4th, gives the following
views of the policy Of President Grant
and the Secretary Of the Treasury, in
regard to the r, sumption Of specie pay
ments, in acceptance With the provis-
ions Of ths regent Act of Congress !:
"While Kelley is distressing himself
about 'the poor people, and the De-
mocrats are trying to see how they can
make political capital of the present
situation of financial and merchantile
affairs, the President and his able Sec
retary Of the Treasury are quietly pre-
pairing the way for spepie resumption.
1t is the desire of the President that the
way TO resumption shall be SO far ad-
vsnced during his administration that
whatever the political or financial views
Of his successor may be, he will, pro-
vided, of course, the law remains as II
is, be constrained to carry 1t to a sue
eessful termination. Though nc
plan has been definitely agreed upon,
the follpBing is understood to he the
one most favorably endorsed and us least
likely to disturb the money market,
while It win allow ep accumulation oi
gold that will bring the dSy of Fesump
tlon nearer TO hand. First, the Syndi-
gate to be allowed to purchase the foul
and half per cent. loan on the sam,
terms as the five per cent at par in coin
with half Of one per cent. for COM
mission, the syndicate paying all ex
penses. The syndicate to pay for thu
bonds either in gold or cNppons Of gold
bearing bonds. Second, the nationa
banks Of the United States to exc chang,
their gold dividends received on bond
ioT the new bonds releasing the sam,
amount OF six per cent. bonds held 70
the security OF their circulation. Third
the sale Of four and q half pr cent
Eonds At their par value,a privilege au
thorlzed BY Law. II the Treasury doe

LINES ON A SKELETON.

Behold this ruin, Twas skull,
Once CT ethereal spirit full.
This narrow cell waS ife's retreat;
THIS svaee WAS thoughts mysterious seat
What teauteous visions fIIed Ills spot,
What dreams OF pleasure long forgot,
Nor hope, nor love, nor JOY, nor fear
Has left che trace of recouI here.
Beneath this moulderins canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye.
But start not at the dismal yuiI-
II seal love tha. ,ye employed:
II with no Law less nre 1t gieaInei,
But through the dews uf kininess begmed,
That eye shall he forever bright,
Wien stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift, AID tuueiul tongue.
II ffalsehoOi honey II d!sIaine-l,
And where 1t oouid not praise, was channel
If bold in virtues cause 1t spoke,
Yet gentle Concord never hrokel
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delye the mind
Or with lis euyied rulies shine,
To hew the rock, or wear the gem,
Can lit low avail 10 them.
Bat il the page Of truth they sought,
Or comfort TO the mouIner brought,
These hands a richer meei shall claim
Than al That WA: On wealth or fame.
Avails it, whether bare or shoi,
These fees the path OF duty tgoi,
If from the bowers Of ease they FED,
To seek atiiirtion's humble shed
II griuieur's guilty bribe they spmnei,
And home tc virtues cot returned,
These feet with angel, wings shall vie,
And tread the palace Of the sky.
