Specie Payments APP
preaching.


The report Of the Director of the
int, DR.. Linderman, affords conclu
sive evidence of the ability of the
country to resume specie payments
by the date fixed 10y law of Congress
January 1, 1879. The country al
ready has supply of 150,000,000,
or half the amount needed for re-
sumption. The coinage of gold last
year was S3S,1TS,362. The country
is abundantly supplied with subsi
liary silver coin.
The domestic production of silver
and gold now amounts to about SS5,
100000 annually, and would un
loubtedly.be Largely increased if the
coinage of silver dollars were author
lied by Congress, 1t must be borne
in mini, too, that our commercial re-
iations to foreign countries have ma
terially changed to our advantage
since the panic of 1878. Now We
are exporting more and importing
less. The practice of a moderate
economy in our domestic affairs has
produced a result not less gratifying
than unsnticipated, and gold, in
Place of going away from us, is flow
ing to us in considerable quantities
rhe effect is shown in the STEADY de-

The opposition to its policy come-
from class who sevk to monopolize

great source of our difficulties. L

The Suit againSt.Tilden for
Unpaid Taxes.

Green r. Baum, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, has sent letter
TO retiring United States Attorney
General Bliss, acknowledging the re-
ceipt of q note from the latter, advis-
ing Commissioner Baum of the insti-
tuition Of suit against Hon. Samuel
J. Tilden for the recovery of $3.50, 600
of unpaid taxes on income. The
Commissioner writes Bliss: 'Your
action in this matter has my appro-
val. My aim has been to treat Mr..
Tilden just as would any other citi-
zen. If be owes the Government
taxes and declines to pay them, l see
no reason why be should be exempt
from prosecution more than any 9th
er citizen. While the canvass lasted l
thought it unnecessary and unwise
to institute proceedings against him,
and the instructions from this office
of September 26, 1876, to you IN re-
gard to suits for income tax we're
the same, but were given to a num-
Der of other United States District
Attorneys when it was believed that
taxes of that description were due
the United States. I trust you will
put your successor in possession Of
all the facts in connection with the
suhiect. so that when the time comes
for trial he will be prepared to pre-
sent the cause of the United States
in snch manner as the merits of the
c,se reunires."

To the Editor of the Enquirer:
The Springfield, jackson and Poneroy Railroad,
under the energetic management of Hon. James
Emmitt, President. is now at point when no one
doubts it's completion during this season from
Springfield TO Jackson. The Jackson coal is now
worth at the mines three cents a bnshel or seven
ty-ive cents ton, and all points along the line can
obtain coal (he best in Ohio delivered at eight
cents bushel or at 81 ton; and with the in
creased development of our mines that the added
market must prodnce, the cost can not he larger.
The cost per hnshel of mining 500 bushels day III
one mine is much greater than when the same
mine produces 200 bushels per day. The favor
able grades OF the Springfield, jackson and Pome-
roy line are known, and the freight will be low.
Now let the people OF Cincinnati move to put
themselves in connection with the superior coal
fields of jackson Coanty and Southern Ohio; and
they can do fhis by either leaving the Miami Val
leyst Milford. and by way of Newtnnvile and Fay
eftveile TO HIllsboro, or by the road now running
to Batavia thence by Williamsburg direct to Hills
boro. and from Hlsboru intersect the Springfield,
Jackson and Pomeroy Road at Bainbridge. Either
line is practical, cheap, of easy grade and through
good country. Let the people of Cermont, Brown
and Highland take some steps towards this easy
and profitable connection.
From Jackson TO Cincinnati BY way of Balm
bridge and Hillsboro, is twenty-five miles shorter
than any existing line. The line will be pushed
speedily on TO Pumeroy through the rich coal-ields
