SPECIE PAYMENTS.

Practically, this country has resumed
specie payments. Gold has been quoted
in New York, for several days past, at
IO1&; in Chicago at 100s@1Ol4; and in
St. Louis at lO0a@l0l. This is but
little more than the margin of exchange
between gold and grcenbacks, in COM
mercial transactions. We have reached
real resumption already; for gold, silver
and greenbacks are practically on a par !;
and for the frs: time in seventeen years
the country is on q specie basis. The
passage of the silver bill has not dis
turbed the relative value of the metals.
or the status of our paper currency.
None Of the evils the dolorous prophets
of the Atlantic coast predicted have
been realized. And if the financial tin
kers will just stop their bowling for a
while. and allow the country to have a
period of rest, it will enter upon such a
career of prosperity as it has not seen
for many years. Confidence is wanted
now more than anything else. Give the
country confidence, and it will bloom
and blossom with an enduring prosper

The recent lynching of Charlotte
Harris, "a negro woman accused of com,

brutal affair. A large, oak sapling was
bent down, and rope from its top
placed about the woman's neck. and the
tree allowed to spring back. The lynch

body was allowed to remain hanging in
the air, until the following Friday.

TIE first shin to sail from Charlesto

The FIRST ship to sail from Charleston
for Liberia under the auspices of the
Liberian Exodus Association is now
about ready to depart. 1t is said that a
large number of the colored people at
the South will emigrate to that colony
as fast as means to do so can be obtained
We believe that such an emigration is
the true solution of the color question
in the Southern States We do not
think that the blacks can ever hope to
enjoy in this country the social and po-
litical privileges which they can have in
a country peopled by their own race.
and if Liberia is. as it has been repre-
ented to be, a fertile country, with a
climate specially adapted to the negro,
we believe such emigration ought to be
ecouraged to the fullest extent. 1t is
better TO cmigrate than to be "hull-
dozeH."

The st. Louis Post of Thursday OF
last week, has this to say of Kansas:
The immigration into Kansas, which
has set in very early this year, reported
to be unprecedented in numbers. and in
the excellence of the class of immi
grants. The trains on the different rail
roads running through the State are
overloaded, and extra cars are constant

The Rev. TaImadge, at the Brooklyn
Tabernacle, referring to the Pope's death,
said: Let us be careful how We judge:
those who differ from Us in forms of re-
ligion. don't care whether they count
their beads and cross themselves with
holy water, or follow the forms of the
old Methodist camp meetings. If they
only have their eyes on something be-
yond, they are Christians. | don't care
whether they kneel on the stone steps of
St. Peters at Rome, or on the floors of a
Western log cabin, if the heart is right,
everything is right. If the heart is
wrong, all is wrong. "By their fruits
We shall know them"

The following is an extract from a
letter written BY former Kansan, who
is now, and for number of years has
been q resident of Louisiana, published
in the Washington correspondence of the
Atchison Champion:
''The Presidents policy of Cancellation
toward the ex-rebel portion of this State
has been an entire failure. The concil-

preceding the last election was one of

ings were modes of procedure by we'll

the election in favor of Democracy.

of such conciliated spirits.

siderably through the State, and have
sounded many of the citizens as to their

it no more harm, morally, to kill Re-

A PHILADELPHIA special dispatch to

A PHILADELPHIA special dispatch to
the Chicago Tribune dated March 18th,
states that the first silver dollars. coined
under the new law, We're struck off at
the mint in that city, on the afternoon
of that day. The first one coined will
be presented to President Hayes, and
The second to Secretary Sherman. As
this dispatch has every appearance of
reliability, we presume the statement in
last weeks papers in regard to the coin
age of $50, 900 of these dollars, must be
considered an associated press canard.

SOME curiosity has been expressed as
to Just how the new silver dollars are to
be put into circulation. They are only
to be paid out in the purchase of silver
