SrRSLDL4RY COINIGE.

The silver question involves two distinct
issues first, a. to the use OF silver as a sub
sidiary coinage, and second, as to the Substl-
tution of silver dollars for any portion OF
the Iecal-tender notes. The latter has been
properly postponed The question OF subsid-
iarv coinage has at last been properly set
tied. both as to the amount and as to the
mode of issue In respect to the ratio OF
coinage-the quantity of silver which should
be contained in two halves, four quarters, or
other small coins Of the aggregate nominal
value of one dolar-there has been no dispute,
and no disposition to change the existing
ratio As to the amount OF token coinage to
be issued, we observed, some time ago, that
the shipment of our new coins to the west
Indies and South America, and even to Call
fornia, would withdraw from circulation here
a considerable part of the silver issued. Hence
if the amount issued were only equivalent to
the fractional currency in use, these shipments
would cause constant dearth of small change
and thus greatly retard if not wholly arrest
the exchange of fractional currency for silver.
This difficulty could be Obyiated only by
authorizing the issue, not in exchange for
fractional currency. of a quantity of subsidi-
demand for expectation.
BY authorizing the issue of this token COIN
age without waiting for presentation of frac-
tional currency at the Treasury, the scarcity
of small change will be prevented. Those who
have been boarding fractional notes, IN the
expectation that the substitution would fail,
and that a considerable premium would pres
emily be paid for notes, and those who have
been boarding silver with intent to bring about
a scarcity and a high premium, as well as the
specuators who have been trying to maintain
an artificial premium both on small coins and
small notes, will now find their occupation
gone. 1t is probable that large amount OF
small notes. which have recently been with
drawn from circulation, will now be presented
for redemption, and that a considerable amount
of boarded SILVER will be unlocked. Within n
short time we shall have all the small coins
we can use.
The amount to be issued is limited to
$50, 100000. 1t is true that there has been
at one time outstanding fractional currency
amounting to nearly $5O,00O,O0O, but it Is
certain that large proportion of this has
been lost or destroyed. During the months OF
May and June the Treasury has been redeem
ing all classes of fractional notes presented,

4 SEIsONABLE CHARITY.

We learn from The Neu Century for Women,
a paper published on the Centennial Grounds
in the interests of women and whatsoever
other things are pure honest, and Of good
report, that many Ladies' living in the country
adjacent to Philadelphia have agreed together
10 receive. each al her own house, during the
summer, one or two poor children, or mother
md child. for a week o. fortnight. The fare and
accommodation promised are to be plain and
comfortable. The only luxury offered is the
chance of fresh air, green fields, hills, and
running water The idea strikes us rs most
wise and bcncfccnt charity.
The dcath-rate among tcething babies during
the heated term has run mp weekly III New
York and Philadelphia high into the hundreds.
There are few of them which could not have
been saved by fortnight of mountain or
sea air. The lodging and boarding OF couple
Of children or a mother and child would not
be- missed in the abundance OF any of our
large farm hOmestrads. The danger is that it
seems so slight and easy thing TO do that
few will do it. The farmers wife is apt 10 un-
dclyalue the lifc-giying powers and the won
der of field and stream aud barnyaid which
she sees every day, and to forget that to
thousands of wrctchcd children in the city, who
know nothing of Nature bcyond the trees and
grass in the sitting squares. they would be a
revelation Of Paradise. How many of the
farmers and owners of country seats near New
York will join in this good workg There are
good Trustworthy agents in the city who can
send them suitable objects of charity. If it Is
inconyenicnt To receive them in their own
houses, there are always farmers who will
boald them at very low rates. Surely it will
add zcst to the enjoyment of any man in his
summer vacation to see Lazarus, not dying at
Ms gate in town, but finding renewed life
among his trees and roses.
New-York tribune., 1876-07-15

of Indifference, should A neglect his business
TO elcctioneer for some Congress candidate, or
b turn out to he thief, whether or not they
are cashiered, indicted, convicted, imprisoned
Moreover, we shall think the country trlne
nearer political millennium when postmasters
are no longer appointed solely for helping the
Honorable This or That to seat in the House
of Representatives.
There arc those who insist that Gov. Hayes
cannot be considered q veritable reform can
didate unless ne will promise on and after the
Fourth of March next to tuck up his shlrt-
sleeves, seize his ax, and decapitate all persons
now holding place under the Washington Gov
ernment. As we have never regarded dH
ofiice-hOlders as rogues and fools, we can
hardly see any need of a general prescription
like this. No man, it is true, is entitled 10
life tenure of place merely because ne may
hold it but without thinking OF his interest
we can easily see how it might be for the IN
terest of the Treasury or the Post-Ofilce
Department to keep him in, just as
private man might be loath to part
with his old and good servant. AS
matters stand, we must trust something to the
discretion and conscience of one or the other
OF tilcSe cdDuludlcS JuuSiHS WV my VI -
his letter. and by what we know of bis charac-
ter, we incline to the belief that in this busi-
ness of bartering place he will be cautious
and conscientious. We cannot imagine hlm
protecting felOns or patronizlng fools. we
know well enough that possession plays mis-
chief with good resolutions; but when candl-
date has good reputation for yeraclty, we
must take him at his word. Besides we know
pretty well what would follow the election of
the other gentleman. 1t is no discredIt to
Gov. Tilden to say that he would make
clean sweep. He could not help himself, and,
whatever his inclination, the pressure of party
would force him to dismiss from public ser
wee n great many men who had much better
bc retained. Even if the Republican candl-
date were decidedly Objectionable, we should
regard with some apprehension the success OF
his opponent.
Moreover the declaration of Gov. Hayes
that, "lf elected, he will not be candidate for
election 10 second term" is highly important,
because should he keep Iris promise, he will
avoid the temptation to Use the patronage oi
his Office in such a way rs to promote his per-
sonal projects. We wish that 1t were not
necessary To sl--;l time and space III the con-
sidrralion of this topic; but the politicians
have made it so. Circumstances have rendered
this matter of patronage of the first import
ance. The country at present is governed by
SO. 600 office holders. Of these We do not care
how many who are honest and faithful and
able are retained, so we may be sure that
those of the other sort will be elected.
New-York tribune., 1876-07-15

and there is no reason why like proportion
OF those now in use should not have been pre-
septed from each class. OF the latest issue,
S21. $40, $40 was outstanding May l, and only
$16, 6,6O7S14 July ], $2,S07,672 having been
redeemed in May, and So. .427,154 in June, or
twenty-four per cent in two months. But OF
the fourth issue only $692, 104 were redeemed
in May, and $472, 500 in June; if "a per cent
of the amount now in use was presented, the
whole amount in use May 1 was not over
S4.656, ,OOO although $S,525,446 was out
standing then, and $7,3G0,741 was outstand-
ing July 1. Again, of the first three issues
there have been redeemed since May only
S11,77S, and yet the amount outstanding July
1 was $10,479,179. In view OF these facts
it is well nigliecertain that over SlO,21o,ooo
of the first three issues, and over $3,75O,OOo
of the fourth, have been lost or destroyed, while
it is evident that of the large NTH issue at
least 81 100000 must also have been de-
stroyed. Thus there remains of fractional cur
rency really in use not more than $l9,446,ooo.
The silver bill authorizes an issue OF ABOUT
twenty millions in small coin, more thah
enough to retire all the fractional currency III
use and this is an ample allowance Tor loss
by expOrtation or boarding.

4 EMILY TRIGkDT.

There are those who critciSe the Fate in the
Greek tragedy as unnatural, and the wholesale
slaughter in "Hamlet" as eXtrayagant and i'm
probable. If we should read in one of Miss
BIaddons novels, for instance, of family
almost entirely cut off by violent deaths-of
the eldest son killed in fox hunt; of another
son dying in a foreign land Of Il pestlcntial
disease; of another murdered by a jealous
rival; Of fourth run over, mangled, and
killed by "a public vehicle and finally of a
fifth found dead under circumstances raising
n question of murder or suicide I; and if we
should further read that in his old age the
father of these victims had only one of six
sons left to care for him-to such an extraor-
dinary succession of calamItics not even Miss
Braddon'S narrative slillcould impart credibilty.
Yet this is precisely what has occurred in the
well-knovn Halsted family in Ncw-Jerscy, the
last victim being found floating and dead in
Minnetoaka Lake only few days ago. Frank
Hasted was the youngest son of Mr.. Chancel-
lyr Halstcd He must have been eccentric, for
lac lived like a hermit upon the borders OF the
lake. He had with him Il considerable sum of
money for the sake of which he may have
been killed. This, however, would not break
the continuity of this chain of tragedies.
Self-destroyed or assassinatcd, he has left life
mysteriousy and thus brought almost to Il
conclusion the dismal family history
The presumption is that in such case as
this there must have been something in the
character and consequently in the conduct of
these brothers to account for deaths which
were something more than coincident-a way
ward disposition perhaps, love of wandering,
or habits and tastes of a perilous cast Pet
IIalstcd it will be remembered, was murdered
by one Bolts for the sake OF worthless
woman. We can imagine Caleb the eldest,
who was killed in fox hunt, as n rough rider
and fond of his pleasure. In 1913 we find
four of these brothers seeking the newly dis
covered gold fields of California. Yet
though such a general tragic termination
may be uncommon, We frequently find the
same strong, passionate, uniiinching, and may
be INSCRIPTIONS character in all the members OF
| q family. There is nothing remarkable abou,

this, OF at least nothing SO remarkable as the
wide differences which we sometimes notice III
those of the same stOck-One brother cur
mudgeon, it may be, and the other a spend
thrift; one loving only dogs and horses, the
other books and pictures. Again. it is no
sadder that five brothers should perish as we
have narrated, than that five children OF one
house should all die within a few days OF
diphtheria; no more noteworthy than that a
widow should survive her husband only few
days. The serious side of life constantly con-
fronts us. We all walk in the shadow of an
impending calamity which the mercy Of Prov
idence may or may not avert.

" THE OFFICE- -HOLDFRS CANDIDATE"

"THE OFFICE-HOLDFRS CiNDlDiTE"
Gov. Hayes, in his letter of acceptance, de-
clares that "honesty, capacity, and fidelity
constitute the only real qualifications for
"oflice;" and "therc is" he adds, "no other
"claim," by which he means that these are to
be considered, and not merely party service,
in making appointments. OF course there are
honest and faithful men, of undoubtcd ability,
who may not be appointed to place though
they may ask it, for tie simple reason that
the number of offices is limited and the num-
Der of honest men who would like to fill them
is large, though not unlimited. What We un-
dcrstand Gov. Hayes to say is that offices
should not be bestowed as rewards for ser
"yices to party leaders," because this
system "tends directly to extravaganza
"and official incapacity." Whether, if he
should be President, he will keep
in office those honest and faithful Republicans
who are now there, is not so important a
question as whether he will turn out the dis
honest, the unfaithful, the unfit. 1t is to u.s.
and to vast majority of the voters, matter
of indifference whether A may have this post
