PETER THE GREAT.
I1Is Plan 10 make Russia H8Rle
the World,

E. ID. Mansfield in the the Cincin-
natl Gazette writes: There is extant
document often quoted, called "The
VIII of Peter the Great" 1t is said
to be genuine, for it points out the
policy Russia has pursued, and things
to be done yet not accomplished. 1t
points to the weakening of Sweden,
the neutralizing of Poland (Which was
done by destroying and absorbing It'd
to the acquisition of the Crimea and
the territories round the Black Sea,
to the marriages with German prin-
cesses, to pushing on to the Persian
Gulf, and to resuming commerce with
the Levant through Syria. This, the
reader sees, points directly to the
march of the army of the Causasus
to Alleppe.
This passage is so interesting that
we give to entire.
6. We must progress as muck as
possible in the direction of Constan-
tinople and India. He who can once
get possession of these points is the
real ruler of the world. With this
view we must provoke quarrels at one
time with Turkey, and at another
with Persia, We must establish
warves and docks in the EuXine, and
by degrees make ourselves masters of
that sea. as well as of the Baltic,
which Is doubly important element
in the success of our plan. We must
hasten the downfall of Persia, push
on to the Persian Gulf; IL possible,
re-establish the ancient commercial
intercourse with the I.evant through
Syria, and force our way into the In
dies, which are the storehouses of the
world; once there, we can dispense
with English gold.
10, Moreover, we must take pains
to establish and maintain an intimat e
union with Austria, apparently coun-
tenancing her schemes for future ag-
grandiZements in Germany, and all
the while secretly rousing the jealousy
of the United Safes (Of Germany
against her. In this way we must
bring it to pass that one or the other par
ty shall seek aid from Russia, and thus
we shall exercise a sort of protecto-
rate over the coutry, which will pave
the way to future supremacy.
IL. We must make the houses of
Austria interested in the expulsion OF
the Turks from Europe, and must neu-
traliZe its jealousy at the capture OF
ConstantinOple, either by pre-occupy-
ing it with a war with the old Euro
pean States, or by allowing it a share
of the spoils, which we can afterwards
resume at our leisure.
II. We must collect around ouI
house, as center, all the detached
sections of Greeks which are scattered
abroad in Hungary, Turkey, and
South Poland; we must make them
look to US for support, and thus, by
establishing beforehand q sort OF an
clesiastical supremacy, we shall pave
the way for universal supremacy.

What IL Amounts To.
Here is word of encouragement
for the specie resumptionists:

WAsHINGToN, May IL, 1877.
Secretary Sherman to-day tele-
graphed from New York to Assis-
tant Secretary Mccormick that in
addition to the ten million dollars
of four and half per cent. bonds
taken on the 9th inst, to provide for
the call of that date, he has sold I'M
| der the resumption act, to the sym
dictate, five million dollars of said
bonds, at par in gold coin, to be
paid for during the months of May
and June. The gold thus received
will be sold for currency at the
pleasure of the Secretary.
The Secretary says he will go on
with sales of four and q half per
cent. bonds for resumption purpos-
es as provided for by law, and hopes
to be able to resume specie pay ment
by the first of January, 1879.
Now this is very encouraging in
deed. But it may be just as well
for the intelligent reader to under
stand precisely what the operation
amounts to. The Secretary sells
SIS, 100000 of ~ per cent. bonds,
for geld, and then pays out the gold
for greenbacks, and retires the green
backs from circulation, as he has no
authority to reissue any greenDacks
once redeemed with the proceeds OF
such bonds. This is precisely equiv
alent to exchanging $l5,OOO.OO0 AZ
per cent. bonds for whatever
amount of greeenbacks they could
be sold for, and then destroying the
greenbacks; or, in other words, an
creasing the interest bearing debt
SIS, 100000 and decreasing the legal
tender paper currency to that ex-
tent. And if he thus "redeems''
$4,000, 600, or $500, 100000 of green
backs, he simply destroys that form
of currency and prOportiOnately in
creasos the interest bearing debt,
and that is just what he accomplish
es in the way of "makIng greenbacks
as good as gold" This is the intent
and provision of the resumption
law and what tho Secretary really
means when he expresses his hopes
that he will be able to 'resume spe-
Gle payment by the lat of January,
1872" We are not entering any OBJ
jections to the programme, but only
Insist that it be correctly understood
by the masses for whose benefit it
is supposed to have been originated.
There is no reason why it should
not be correctly understood.

BY merely the touch of fingers white.

Has taught his ardent beams to shun,
Lest frcckle or tan its beauty spoil,
And make il too near a hand OF toll,
Instead of only a dainty thing

Only n sunburned, useful thing
TO which the heart Of the needy cling;
To which they turn who have learned the worth

Made for healing, for smoothing DER

Made for honest work each day,

THE reception accorded Ivy the
city of Richmond to Gov. Hamp-
jon, rs he passed on to Washing>
ton last Tuesday evening, was a
spontaneous outburSt, calculated
to stir the Southern blood. An
immcns" concoursc of all ages, sex
cs aud orders Of society packed and
jammed the spaces at the Peters
burg depot The special train sent
out to meet him was greeted by
the booming Of artillery, the firing
of rockets and Roman candles and
the music of brass bands, supple
mcntcd by the shouts Of thousands.
The various rity clubs paraded with
trmsparencics. Such n crowd
Richmor d has not given any man
for many a day. Gov. Hampton
responded in Il ringing, magnetic
speech that was received with in
describable demonstrations of sat
isfaction and delight. Within
twcnty-tour hours he had crossed
his legs beneath the rosewood ta~
hles of the White House, and we
imagine felt temptation to ask
Hayes if he did not know how it
was himself to have cne's election
disputed.
Even the hackmen of Washing
ton fought over the honor of trans-
porting him about the city free Of
charge.
In the mean time Chamberlain
was in the city and unnoticed.
Mrs Hayes called to see Gov.
Hampton, who escorted her to din,
ncr in the Presidential Mansion.
