DAILY SENTINEL.
THURSDAY, MAY "a, 1877.
JONES ON

The Sacramento Record. Union is dis
posed to criticise our Senator rather
harshly, in commenting on his recent
ly-pronounced views regarding the
possibility of a resumption of specie
payments in January, 1879, a. provid-
ed by the so called Resumption ACT Of
1875. Senator Jones has simply made
o statement which every sensible man
in the nation knew to be q fact. The
act of 1875 was never entertained or
passed in good faith. 1t was a mere
dodge OF the then dominant party to
place the financial issue beyond the
presidential election. The political
programme having succeeded, it is
now time that the scheme was declared
impracticable. We do not believe,
however, that Senator Jones is an infla-
ZIONIST in the generally accepted signiii.
canoe OF that term. He may desire
TO bull the silver market through the
fundamentally of a law of Congress
establishing the double standard, but
in this position he has the unanimous
Endorsement Of his constituency with.
out regard 10 party. Whatever may
be the Senator's views regarding that
bogus Resumption act, it is quite GER
tain that his answering advocacy of
hard money doctrines meets the cordial
approval Of those he represents. Fol-
lowing are the structures Of the Record
Union:
A dispatch states that Senator Jones
has recently become respondent about
specie resumption, and is afraid we
never shall have gold enough TO effect
that measure. He, however, is said to
be OF opinion that we ought to make
use of our silver to the fullest possible
extent, aud that in the absence Of gold
il will furnish a very good currency.
We are not at all surprised that
tor Jones should have taken slch a po-
%sition, for we have never supposed that
he favored the resumption Ut specle pay
ments. 1t should by this time rave
been familiar TO the public that the
gentleman Is a tholough-going inf1a-
zionist, and this notwithstanding his
apparent championship of a metallic
currency. When a man pretends TO
believe in specie payments, but clam
ors for resumption in a metal which
is worth less than R~reenbacks, we can
not make a mistake in classifying him.
II Senator Jones has, a. the dispatch
says, changed his views ON the practi
cability of specie resumption with
gold, the statement really only means
that he has thrown off all disguise,
and appears now, for the first time,
where he always belonged in princi-
pie. namely, among the advocates of
initiation.

Iowa REPUBLICANS are thorough
breds; they believe in Republicanism
whether there is any use for it or not.
The call made for a State Convention
shows quite conclusively that they do
not share in the opinion expressed by
some of the leading brethren in other
States, that the mission of the Republi-
can party has been fulfilled, and that
there is nothing left for it to do.

rmE ROUMANIAN CAPITAL.

Is the caplt2l Oh tSoutna-
MA, and q place of very considerable
note in the struggle now going on be-
tween the Russians aud Turks. 1t is
situated in . picturesque plain in
Central Wallachis. and has a populs-
ton of about seventy thousand souls.
a recent traveller says it is notable for
its converts, its sixty Greek churches,
and its pleasant gardens and beautiful
groves. Near by runs the charming
river Dimbovetza, OF which an old
Wallschian song says, "Sweet water!
he who drinks once of thy crystal
stream shall not leave thy banks"
The houses in Bucharest are mainly
Of two stories, built of clay and wood,
with bay windows jutting from the
upper stories. Only the principal
streets are paved: they are long, mar.
row, irregular. and, withal, wretchedly
lighted. Quite elegant mansions stand
cheek by jowl with miserable bowels;
there is no fashionable quarter, no dis
tinctively paapers' quarter; rich AMI
poor live side by side. Bucharest is in
these respects more Oriental than Eu.
ropean in character. 1t is . pecu-
liar place for several reasons. There
are so many dogs in the Roumanian
capital as to be . downright plague,
and more than once it has been
found necessary to inaugurate a gen
eral massacre of them. The dogs thus
killed are given over to be skinned by
the peasantry outside the town. A
permanent fashion in Bucharest is that
Of using vehicles. Nobody will 60
