One of the best indications of bet
ter condition of business is the action
of Mr.. Vanderbilt in restoring five
per cent of the rate of pay reduced last
July, the restoration to apply to all
salaries of less than $1,000. 1t is true
that he is only doing what he prom
ised TO do. but the rule is generally
that the great employers of labor find
it as easy to break their promises as to
make them. AT the same time, we
may be sure that Vanderbilt would
not have added five per cent to his
payroll unless the condition of bust.
ness justified it.-Gd=ettc & Bulletin.

For about twenty.years, at times, 1
have been troubled with pain across
my kidneys, say every ten days. In
Jan. '75, my urine stopped voiding, and
1 was compelled to lay close by the fire
to get any ease, taking morphine, and
using hot cloths, thinking at times I
could not live. 1 came to Titusville
and bought bortle of E, X. Thomp-
sons Barosma, or Backache, Liver
and Kidney Cure, and before the bot
tie was used 1 passed gravel stone as
large as a pea, and am now perfectly
well, and hope every one troubled
with backache or kidney trouble, will
give the Barosma a trial and be cured

The question of how much church bells
may be rung is before the Pennsylvania
courts. Some people in Philadelphia, who
hsd got tired of hearing the chimes of St.
Marks church at all sorts of hours, applied
for an injunction some weeks ago, which
was granted. The case was of course ap-
pealed to the supreme court, and that trib-
unal has affirmed the decision and contn-
ued the Injunction, with the modification
of allowing the bells to ring five minutes
half an hour before Sunday services and
toll five minutes Immediately before. This
is only preliminary injunction, however,
granted until the lower court could hear
the case upon its merits, and the final de-
cision of the broad question involved will
be awaited with much interest.

Saratoga has a sensation in the refusal
of the Grand Union hotel to entertain Jews
in future, no matter how rich or dlstln-
guished they may be. The new rule was
enforced for the first time last week upon
Joseph Seligman, the wealthy New York
banker and member of the syndicate, who
has spent the summer there for the last 10
years. Judge Hilton, the owner of the
hotel, intimates that, if Seligman had con-
suited him personally, he might have been
admitted, bu. justities the general rule on
the ground that Jewish customers are very
offensive to their other guests, and that the
prejudices of the people upon whom they
chiefly rely for support of the hotel must
be respected. Seligmsn and his fellow
Jews are, of conrse, very indignant at this
revival of the almost. forgotten dlscrimina-
ton against their race, and propose to hold
a public meeting about it. There can be no
doubt that good many of the Jews who
have patronized the GraEd Union and other
similar hotels are rather vulgar and often
sive in their manners, but the principal of
outawing them as race Is rather novel
one, and not likely to be popular in this
country.

give him success before long. Certainly,
that chief special agent who made known
his desire the other day to have special
field of service assigned to him, where he
might have leisure TO contribute toward the
building up OF an administration party In
the state, ought TO feel that he has gained
information wortha great deal more 70 him
than any humoring of bis mistaken notions.
He was told-and we are sHre that the
statement of the fact must have come to
him with the force of surprise--that he was
appointed to do the work Of the post office
department. And be was expected to be
good worker, too going where the rules
required sin all solts of weather, on horse
back or on foot If need be-" and to take his
consolation in the consciousness that he
was serving his party best by doing his ut
most duty as an officer. so, also, those
western grumblers of later date are well
advised that "the post office is not a politi-
cal institution" and that no postmaster
who is otherwise unexceptionable will be
turned out because he happens to oppose
the administration.
We are surely making progress when
such instructions as these are issued by the
head of the postofflce department, defining
the true epirit on which its business will be
conducted. They show that the depart
ment is no longer to be regarded as an asy-
lum for the destitute or for pol
iticians in reduced circumstances, or
as loungiug place and pleasant
retreat from hard work but that 1t is to
be governed by strict business principles
and conducted on business methods alone,
80 far as the government necessities will al
low. Forty-five millions of people are to
be served through some forty thousand
employees, and they must be served effect
ually and economically. Postmaster Gen.
| eral Key deserves the thanks of the country
| for his timely words.-BoStOn Journal.

The Burlington Free Press, so it says,
has received "private letter" from Rut-
land-we need not stop to guess who wrote
that private letter saying that Daniel
Kimball is "broken in health and is believed
"to have been urged into making his afli-
"davit by the parties concerned, TO cover
"their retreat; and that its statement, so
"far as they differ from those OF DR.. Sea-
"ver and Mr.. Pettingill, are by no means
accepted as correct and truthful" This
only shows to what desperate straits a man
convicted of falsehood is reduced. We
venture to say that no man in Rutland
county, who knows Daniel Kimball, would
for q moment hesitate to accept his state
ment "as correct and truthful" no matter
with whom he might differ, Moreover, it
would appear that the name of DIR. Seaver
Is logged into this matter as kind of GER
tifcate of veracity for the other reverend
gentleman-and he sadly needs such GER
tificate-as it does not appear that DIR. Sea-
yer has, as yet, made any statement. The
Burlington FresPreSs can believe who il
pleases; but there is no question as to whom
the people of Rutland county will believe
and it will not be man who confcsses tc
q falsehood.

The night Waterman says, in reply to the
structures of our correspondent "B. E. Co."
that the street lamps were lighted Friday
night, but were extinguisbed at about half
past eleven In accordance with regulations
made by the trustees. The fault, then, is
with the trustees, not with the Waterman,
and 1t amounts simply to this: That, in
the opinion of the trustees, there is no
danger from dark streets after half an
hour before midnight that after that hour
burglars and inceudiaries can prawl around
unmolested; and that belated oitizans may
be robbed or assaulted with IMMUNITY.
This may be good economy, but it does rot
show much knowledge of the ways of the
world or zeal for the well being of the viii
lage and of Its citizens.

The annual debate in the British rar'ia-
ment on what is awkwarkly called IN
the English fashion the "women's
disabilities ''removal BILL" took place
on the Oh instant. The vote had not
been taken when the lastmails left,
but as the bill was opposed by several
speakers who have heretofore voted
in favor of qualified suffrage for women, it
is altogether likely the bill was thrown out
by large majority. Among the eminent
dissenters this year. who were counted as
friends of "the cause" was Sir Stafford
Northcote, chancellor of the exch6quer,
Who did not speak on the subject in the
open debate, but gave his reasons to dep
utation of ladies who waited upon him the
day before the question came up. There
was an attempt during the debate to silence
an Objectionable speaker, which showed
that the French assembly and our house OF
representatives are not the only legislative
bodies where men take the rules into their

1t seems certain that California will have
surplus of 800. 600 tons of wheat for ex-
port, which will bring from to % cents
per pound at San Francisco. The new
wheat is already coming in, and the first
sales are at S2.4O By reason of the sus-
pension of Fritdlander, the great wheat
king, who always took care to have lot
of ships on hand for the export season, and
because of the false cry that there was to
be no surplus for export, there is a great
scarcity of slips at SIN Francisco to take
the grain away, and freights are likely TO
be high. The rate is now CO 81 per ton to
England. Some of the especial stories of
great crops this season are almost startling,
as usual. Gov. Bidwell's town of Chico,
in northern California, threatens to have a
surplus of So 900 tons of wheat, which at

ExTRA-JUDICIAL OATHs.

The affidavit of Daniel Kimball, of Cla-
rendon-a gentleman whose word, even
without the sanction of an oath, would be
accepted unquestioned in any community
where he is known-convicting, or tending
to convict, certain reverend gentleman of
falsehood, seems to have thrown him into
ferment, and illustrates the force and
truth of the old saw that the CALLED jade
will vince. He, therefore, under the head
of ''tit for tat" responds as follows:
The attention of Daniel Kimball, Squire
Marsh, and Mr.. Notary Public Weeks is
respectfully directed to section 10 OF chap
ter 116 of the general statutes of this state,
which provides for penalty of not more
than two hundred nor less than fifty dollars
for either taking or administering an extra
judicial oath. And the natural question il
whether violation of the spirit and letter
OF that law in an offensive way is not fully
a. serious matter as the incidental and
accidental violation of our novel fishing
law.
And what more could he say2 What
other defense could he maker Convicted
OF falSehood, and Of violation of the
law compelled, also, to admit that he was
guilty of another falsehood in charging
that his prosecution for a violation of the
fish and game law was ''inspired"by the TIL
GLoBE or Its editor he could only whn,
out "you have violated an obsolete claw"
And this charge, too, as to one of the par
ties, at least, seems to be only anothe
fAlsehood. Let US see how much there /
OF the charge as to the others.
1t may be true that in taking and admin
istering the oath to the affidavit referred :
published in THE GLOBE, Tuesday morn
ing-the letter of the law against takin
extra-judlcial oaths was violated, but it
not true that the spirit was violated. Th
spirit Of the law is found in the words ''ir
- territorial secrecy" 1t was aimed at Ii
masonic institution, was intended TO brea
up its lodges, chapters, etc, prevent Ii

The 4 Per Cents Payable in Gold Only.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
WASHINGTON, June 10. 1877. (


Francis o. French, E,q., o., Broadway
New York. Your letter of the 18th
inst in which you inquire whether the A.
per cent. bonds now being sold by the gov
eminent are payable, principal aud inter
est, in gold coin is received. The subject,
from its great importance, has demanded
and received careful consideration. I'M
der the laws now in force there is no
coin issued or issuable in which the
four per cent. bonds are redecmable, or
interest payable except gold coin of the
United States of standard value fixed by the
laws in force the 18th of July 1870, when
the bonds were authorized. The govern
ment exlcts in exchange for these bonds
payment at their face in such gold
coin, and it 10 not 10 he anticipated that
any future legislation of Congress or any
action of any department of the government
would sanction or tolerate the redemption
of the PRINCIPAL of these bunds or the pay
ment of interest thereon In coin of less
value than the coins authorized by law at
the time of the issue of the bonds, being the
coin exacted by the government in ex-
change for the same. The essential ele.
ment of good faith in preserving the
equality in value between the coinage in
which the government receives aud that in
which it pays these bonds will be sacredly
observed by the government and the people
of the United States, whatever may be the
system of coinage which the general policy
of the nation may at any time adopt. This
principle is impressed upon the text of the
law of July IA, 1870, under which the 4 per
cent bonds are issued, and requires, in the
opinion Of the executive department of the
and the payment Of their interest In coin OF
equal value with that which the govern
mint receives upon their issue.
