MR.. MoRRILL,s FINANCIAL BILL.
nc hill intrcdncsd by senator MOr

The bill introduced BY Senator Nor
rill. Of this state. looking to an early re
sumption Of specie payments, Is attract
ing considerable attention. and many
cOmmendatiOns from those who desire to
see our currency established upon
proper basis
The bill authorizes the Secretary Of
the Treasury to issue, sell or dispose Of,
at not less than par in legal tender Uni
ted States notes. four and one half per
cent. bonds. for the purpose Of retiring
greenbacks 1t further provides that
after January lst. 1878, all contracts

in accordance with the legal tender
standard Of gold and silver, unless

contract 1t requires all banking assO-
Citations to keep one-fourth Of their law
ful money reserve in coin, after Janu-
airy lst. 1871: One-fourth after January
Ist. 1875. and three-fOurths after Oeto-
Der lst. 1875.
The bill seems to be admirable in its
provisions. and to strike the keynote for
an early resumption, and the retirement
Of currency that was adopted As a
necessary war measure, and not intend
ed or calculated as currency IN times
Of peace. Any legislation which will
effect this will be hailed with delight
By the better informed and more honest
classes II the country.
We have too earnestly protested
against imitation, or any delay in taking
measures for resumption Of specie pay
ments. to leave any doubts in the minds
Of our readers Is to our opinions on these
subjects We DO not propose here ts
repeat the arguments in the case. They
are 50 plain that one must be blinded
BY interest not to instantly recognize
their merit We rejoice, therefore, Il
see the Senate considering what seems
to Us a most sensible proposition. hsyins
resumption for Its object If the bill
can be bettered in any particular, let
be done; but let Us have early and IN
telligent action on the subject. and, "

ECONOMY EXACTED AT LAST.

Tho Board OF Education OF Jersey City has at last
adopted tho policy OF economy which was enjoned
1t more than year ago by the Board OF Finance.
Several methods were suggested In reducing the sala
of teachers and some members OF the Board like
Mr.. Sunborn, openly declared that reduction would
be misfortune. There is deficit in the appropria-
ton for tho present year Of $15 000 and the nppro-
priation ior the next year Will certainly not
be larger than for the present. while IL
is very probable that 1t will be less Tho
reduction just extends all teachers but is CON-
vice. Tho salary OF superintendent Dickinson has
been restored TO the original figure. $500. The
port OF the Committee on Reductions recommends that
the salaries paid be continued for the rst
ten months" OF the ensuing year, and that 'in the
absence OF the principal the senior male teacher shall
act as principaL' Ii reform was ever demanded by
the taxpayers of Jersey City 1t is in tho OF the
