SENATOR JONES ON RESUMPTION.


From the Washington Republican,
Senator Jones, of Nevada, has already made
himself famous as q speech-msker by striking the
bed rock Ct eloQuencc on the hard money ques-
ton. He will soon introduce a bill and make
a speech, involving flaw, and the explanation of
two points that constitute his ideas of specie
re sumption. He thinks that the United States
is Obliged to reach a coin basis as soon as posi-
BILE, and he proposes to make the introduction
of silver as currency-an intermediate stage be-
tween paper and gold coin. This he calls one
l ing stride towards resumption. This he pro-
p. s S by removing the legal tender limit, which
is now s., from silver, and making it a legal
tender, the same as greenbacks now are. He
wants a dollar to be known as the " home dol
lar" which, he says will circulate here and in
South America, the West Indies and Mexico, the
same as the trade dollar has circulated i'll
China and Japan, and the same as gold coin.
He takes the ground that the telegraph and the
railroad, having done away with the stage coach
and slow mails, have made it easier now to
transport silver as an actual precious metal in
exchange thin it was thirty years ago to trans
port gold. For the larger transactions he wants
silver bullion used, which bullion shall be as
sayed and marked with the Government stamp
to show its standard Of weight and fineness, and
Certificates issued representing the value Of
bullion deposited, the same as the gold notes of
the gold bank represents gold. He says that
during the recent panic in California silver
came forward, and the jingle Of the dollar and
the half and the quarter was pleasant to"
poor mans ear that the people do not
carry gold dollars that will be lost in the 1
of the vest pocket. He anticipates koub
coming to specie resumption, but he say
must come that if our tariff shall continue
keep prices SO high that VT cannot export on
goods to foreign countries or get gold in return
We must make use of the advantages nature
gave us, and show to the world that we can get
along with silver currency.
He says that with all the hammering and bat
tering that the nations Of the world, especially
Germany and the Latin States, have given to the
precious metal known as silver, they have never
been able to reduce it's standard value more than
nina per cent. below goiG. He thinks Germany
made the greatest mistake Of its history when
1t demonetized silver, and that the day is not
far distant when that nation will take the lead
III resuming the circulation of silver as legal
tender for all debts. public and private. He
would not disturb the Legal Tender Act or he
would disturb it if q majority Of Congress cared
to do SO. He does not think it would make much
difference. He thinks silver has a value that can
not be disturbed by any financial depression,
and that the nations of the world cannot deny
It's value under any circumstances. He thinks
a legal tender paper and the legal tender silver
currency can get along pleasantly together, and
that silver will work the paper out without any
trouble of legislation.

The Territorial Enterprise has just en-
tered upon its thirty-second volume.
We may be prejudiced, but we honestly

more ability than any of the San Fran

We fully concur in the above senti-
ments. and have SO stated on more than

THE FREEDmEN's BANK.

The Virginia Chronicles Washington
correspondent writes the following IN re-
gard to the affairs of the Freedmen's
Bank
THE PLUcKED RAVENS.
The investigation into the affairs OF the broken
Freedmen's Bank of this city promises r1cn re-
sults. It will be remembered that this bank
was chartered by Congress az a safe placef for de-
post of freedmen's earnings. The affairs OF the
bank were placed in charge OF certain Christian
statesmen, among whom was ex-Mayor bowen
of this city. Major General Howard and others.
The institution ran along smoothly until the
~guileless freedmen's deposits footed up the mug
little sum of 5000 900. Then the ~yultures pre-
pared for a grand swoop. BY the terms OF the
original charter the deposits were required to be
invested in Government securities, and ia nothing
else. The ~vultures applied to Congress for au-
thority to extend the investments to real estate
as we'll, and it was granted. Very soon after the
bank exploded, and then it was found that
nearly the whole $4,000, 600 belonging to the
poor blacks had vanished.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE HAVE FOUND OUT.
The Committee have, after much effort, sue
ceeded in getting a list of the persons to whom
the bank q loaned" money, in direct violation OF
law, without any security at all. or on such as
was absolutely worthless, and which has never
to this day been repaid. nor never will be.
Here it is:

are here seeking employment in the de-

PIoCHE.- We extract the following
cheering intelligence from the Records
mining review of the 18th instant: For
the week commencing Sunday, the 9th
inst, and ending on the 18th, there has
been shipped by Wells. Fargo & Cos ex-
press, bullion to the amount Of $51, 281.
which shows that Phoebe is increasing
the bullion shipments and coming up in
the old style. The pump on the Ray
mond& Ely mine has continued to work
to the satisfaction Of every one. the shaft
being kept dry by about II hours work
ing in "a, whilst sinking is steadily con-
tinued. We may at any time expect to
record developments that will be of i'm
mense Importance to Phoebe. for as soon
as the Raymond & Ely make a strike, it
will tend to place money in the other
mines of Phoebe to develop their resources.
Taking the mining outlook throughout
we think we can congratulate ourselves
on being in g better condition financially
than We have for two years past.

New YORK is unfortunate in her county
treasurers. Henry Mann, of Saratoga
county, had been elected and reelected
treasurer for fifteen years. and the people
would have gone on electing him until
he died if he had not suddenly, old man
that he was, absconded with $40, 900 and
q woman, not his wife. Mr.. Mann's ex-
ample has been followed recently by Mr..
Seymour Tracy, treasurer of Yates coun-
ty. and by Mr.. Henry N. Roadway, treasu-
rer of st. Lawrence county. who stole
$l0O, 900. Redway has enjoyed the con
idence of the people for eighteen years,
and he has held the Office of treasurer for
that period, probably stealing from the
inception of his term. The " watch
dogs" of the New York county treasures
are worthless ours.

W
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CoNvENTIoN.-It is re-
ported, says the San Francisco Gail of the 14th,
that 3 canvass of the members of the National
Committee, which b g been called to assemble at
Washington on the 22d instant to fix the time
and place for holding the next National Demo-
cratic Convention, shows them to be almost
unanimously in favor of holding it ut st. Louis.
Having been so patriotic as to choose Washing
toms Birthday for the meeting of the Commit
tee, it was thought the same patriotic instinct
would dictate the Fourth of July as the time
and Philadelphia as the place for holding the
Convention, the enthusiasm of the day and
place helping the delegates to patriotic nomina-
tions, like Hancock and Adams, for example.
But it is evident that the Western Democratic
Members of the Committee are very generally
desious that the Convention shall be held in St.
Louis. 1t is limited that the nti-third-termer
on the Republican Committee chose Cincinnati
