must have n large margin over and above
Che real necessities of the case
Then. if it he shown that the Government
is really going in earnest into the accumu-
lation Of gold for the purpose of rcsumng
on tn" first day Of January, 1879 the banks
will have need to move speedily to rcplcn-
ish their stock OF the precious metals. Their
returns show generally that they have aban-
doncd the keeping Of coin for some years
back, relying wholly ON the Government,
which has been practically the sole custo-
dian Of nearly all the gold I'm the country.
Mr.. SHERMAN may say Il hundred millions
Of gold will bcenough to protect him against
any run on his grccnbacks; but ne must not
forget that as matter Of fact he has the
banks to protect rs we'll as the Treasury
They cannot be allowed to succumb to any
attack that may Toe made on them.
The Treasury and the banks must sink or
swim together
Now, as the joint circulation Of grccnbacks
and bank notes is in the ncighborhood Of
seven hundred millions, an accumulation of
one hundred millions Of gold is clearly an
insufficient sum TO base resumption upon.
We should do we'll if we succeeded with
twice that amount But Is there anybody
who supposes it possible for the banks
an the Treasury to go to work and heap
up two hundred million dollars in coin
within he next twenty months. without ere

condition Of public opinion that would bc

of Mr.. SHERMAN's own knowledge ON this
subject as to presume he believes any such
thing practicable or possible
Our readers will bear in mind that we do
not belong TO that class Of financlcrs who
are forever prognosticating evil in our
finances, and lugubriously complaining
Of the inability Of the country To
resume coin payments. We entertain
no such sentiments. We believe we
can resume with case, But there IS right
way and a wrong Way The right way will
insure speedy success. while tho wrong way
Will surely end in failure. We have often

A Truly Good Man with Truly Good
Partners.

There ls published at st. Louis religious
paper called the Christim Adrocuie. edited
by the Rev. Dr. McANALLY in strict accord
ance. we understand, with those principles
of true goodness which the career of Deacon
RICHARD SMITH OF the Cmc6ndt Gaseu, has
So beautifully eAompliicd to the world.
Like Deacon RICHARD SMITH, the truly
good DR.. MCANALLY has associated with
him in the management Of his paper a num-
her Of exceedingly smart and lively part
ncr- But here the analogy ceases Dr.
McANALLYs partners, though smart and
lively, are not wicked. Instead Of surrcn-
derins their minds to depravcd imaginings
aud pcrverting their smartncss to the
development Of plots to annoy, msrcp-
resent, and mortiiy their Chief, these
young men love his true goodness and are
continually employed in making that true
goodness more widely known A touching IL
lustrntion of this unsclii-h and praiseworthy
solicltudo has como into our hands in the
form Of a circular issued 10y the truly good

Considerable doubts have of late existed
upon this point, in consequence, probably,
OF the delay which has taken place on the
part of the pastor TO express himself de-
cidcdly on the subject, and serious appre-
hen-ions We're entertained in Russia that
owing to the domestic relations sanctioned
by the Mohammedan religion, which could
not fail to possess a certain fascination for
Mr. BEEcHER, his sympathies In the present
struggle might be wavering, and might
finally declare themselves In favor Of the
Mosem. All doubts upon this point have
now been happily set AT rest. The reverend
gentleman took advantage of prayer
meeting on Friday night to explain 10 his
congregation the European policy Of Plym-
outh Church. There was something singu-
larly appropriate in tho solemnity Of The
