The Commercial in one of its null
titudinous patriotic illusions against
Bayard, expresses the opinion that if
Mr.. Bsyard should be elected Presi-
dent "we should doubtless see an ex-
Confederate general directing the oper-
ations Of the War Department, and one
Of the commanders in the Confederate
"Navy" administering the Navy De-
partment. Whom Mr.. Bayard, or any
other Democratic President. would put
into these Offices of course no one
knows, but one thing all may feel as
sured Of and that is that no thieves,
post-tradership sellers, crooked whis-
key operators. safe burglars, Credit

mocrat who should be placed in the

might, wonld scorn to have around him
such creatures as the vast majority Of
the men whom the present Administra-
tion has gathered around it. While
the Democrats point out the rascalities,
villainies, eorruptions and dishonest
practices Of Republican officials, the
Republicans can only retaliaie with the
one old charge Of "disloyalty." These
men talk as if they thought the people
of the United States had little sense
enough to think that the one great and
objectionable sin which any one could
possibly ever have committed is to have
differed with the administration during
the late civil war, while to have been

SILVER RESUMPTION. accordance
with orders from Secretary Bristow the
officers Of the subtreasury departments
in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
and other cities began paying out silver
coin in exchange for fractional currency
on Thursday morning. Crowds Of
people hurried to the treasury buildings
and received the coin for their "shin-
plasters" as rapidly as the paying clerks
could give it to them. Thus once more
after suspension Of over fifteen years
the people are about to see solid money
nut into circulation. This is "con-
summation devoutly to be wished" !"
People have long since grown heartily
tired of the small paper money and
wished 10 see silver coin, at least, in
daily use. As far as gold is concerned
nobody cares particularly to have it in
circulation. The treasury notes are
much preferable for common use. If the
Department can only succeed in put
ting plenty Of small coins in circulation
they need not trouble themselves any
further about specie resumption. There
is said to be some 500. 900, 900 of sil-
YER now on hand, and as more is be-
ing coined every day there will, doubt
less, soon be enough to redeem all the
fractional currency now in circulation.
1t is sincerely hoped that nobody will
hoard it up. Let it 60, you'll get
plenty more Of it in little while
The authorities are determined to call
in all the shinplasters and issue silver
instead. and if the people 60 TO keep
ing the silver in their pockets or bu-
reaus we will soon have no small
change. 1t will benefit them nothing
to hoard it as there is no premium on
silver. nor is there likely to be any, but
on the contrary it is at small discount
when offered 10 large quantities.
