IN what Coin are the New Bonds Pay
ahIeg

aHAee
The decision embodied in the following
letter Of Secretary John sherman was reached
at a Cabinet meeting on the 18th inst and the
letter thereupOn promptly forwarded
Treasury DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON. june
-. 1ST7.-FYqIlcis y French, EsQ, Neie York
Sir. Your letter Of the 18th inst, in which YOU
inquire whether the four per cent bonds now
being sold by the government are payable,
principal and interest in gold coin is received.
The subject, from is great importance, has de-
handed and received careful consideration.
Under the laws now in force, there is no coin
issued or issuable in which the principal Of
the four per cent. bonds as rcdcemable or i'm
terest payable except the gold coins Of the
United states Of a standard value, fixed by
Laws in force the14th Of July, 1870 when the
bonds we're authorized. The government ex-
acts in exchange for these bonds
payment at their face in such gold
and it is not 10 be anticipated
that any future legislation Of con-
gress or any action Of any department Of the
government would sanction or tolerate re-
demptiun Of the principal Of these bonds or
the payment Of the interest thereon in coin Of
a less value than the coins authorized bv law
at the time Of the issue Of the bonds, being the
c0lu exacted by the government IN exchange
Tor tie same. The essential element Of good
faith ~ preserving equality in value between
coinage in which the government receives
and that ID which it pays those bonds win be
sacredly observed By the government and poo
pie OF the United States. whatever may Dc the
system Of coinage which the general policy Of
the nation may adopt. This principle is i'm
pressed upon the text Of the law Of June a,
1870, under which the four per cent bonds
are issued, and requires in the opinion q the
executive department Of the government, the
redemption Of these bonds snd the payment OF
their interest in coin Of equal value with that
which tie government receives upon Their
issue

The Board met in regular session,
all the members present and President

The following was adopted:
To the Honorable Board OF Common Council:
The Board OF Public Works hereby in
forms your honorable body that the

respectfully solicit that provision

statement OF the Chief Engineer show
ing the available light fund of the
1st OF May proximo, to be only
$40. .l27 70, and the estimated deficiency
to December, 1877, to be S123 .372 %.
On motion the CLERK was directed to

propriate $50, 1868 Al for Water-works

was visited by the members OF the Board
OF Public Works in u body.
They, through the President. Mr.. Bell,
congratulated the Mayor, to which His
Honor replied in neat little speech.
He remarked that he aud the Board
must work in harmony together to pro-
m )te the interest OF the city, and hs
thanked them Tor the compliment paid
him in calling upon him.
Col. Moore was then visited By Mr.
Alex. Kennel, the Wharfmaster, ana
Mr.. Ohmann, Director OF the City Intirm-
arV, who were sworn in. The oath Of
office was also administered 70 Mr.. John
d. Caldwell, of the Board OF Public
Works.
The Mayor signed two indentures
from the Chlldren's Home. Mr.. Morgan,
of the Work-house, called upon HIS
Honor and got in his little work Tor
Colonel Robinson. About this time an
incident occurred between the Mayor
and young man who. halls from San
doyal, Ill.
Tue young man had entered into q
contract with variety snow in this
city, but the performer, he alleges, went
back on his contract, and he, cOnse-
quently, was out Of work. Now he
wanted a pass to get to his home.
Inc mayor .uSLeneu patiently 10 MS
appeal, and then remarked that he
thought it would be unjust TO touch the
charity fund in his Cine young man'si
behalf. He was willing to give
him a dollar, and so would Mr..
Johnston, he thought. 1t would take
only 81 to get these, and he would be
able somehow or other to raise the 9TH
er ". The Mayor thought that this
hing should not go on record against
The young man.
A few words more and the applicant
lett the office rather crestfallen. a
number OF Otfice-seeKers also called upOg
His Honor but they were dismissed fOE
the time.
The Mayor stated to our representa-.
tive that ior the present he would mol
make any changes in regard to The men
around the office, and that Messrs. Hap-
son and Lauderbach would fll theig
respective places until he had had
leisure to think as to whom he should
appoiR to fill the places.
This ended the first halliday OF Col.
Moore's Mayoralty.

Miss Nancy Anne Smith, woman OF

working at the house OF Mrs. Meyers,
at No. 4S West Ninth street, few
weeks ago, managed to steal about $50
worth of goods, principally fine under

She then left, and in a few days
sought and obtained employment at the
residence OF Dr.. Woodruff, on Sixth
street, between Race and Elm, in the ca
paciLy Of domestic.
This morning Detective WappensteIn,
who has been on the lookout for her ever
since the. robbery, discovered her at DR..

the Ninth-street Station-house.
A search among few of her effects
disclosed a hair-brusn, which has been
