A PLAIN CAsE.-As soon as the
minis are fairly at work it will be in
the power OF the Secretary Of the Treas
ury to increase our monetary resources
to the extent Of the coming capacity,
say at the rate of 100000, per
month. 1t needs no commentary TO
show that this iswhatthc law provides.
AS to how the money will be put into
circulation, thatis a verysimplc matter.
There has been agreatde Of ingcnuity
expended in showing how he may keep
it locked in the vaults of the Treasury
and avoid issuing it at all, but the
sophistries offered will notprevail. The
Secretary Of the Treasury will take the
coin from the mints and buy bullion
with il TO make into more coin. That
is the whole story. Congress DEGREES
that q certain amount Of silver bullion
shall be made useful and available as
money. SO many minted dollars will
be exchanged for 30 much bullion, and
the bullion will then be minted and a
further exchange be made. Siirer notes

The action of Mr.. Hayes in nomi.

clerk to the lucrative position of pay.
master in the army very naturally
excites much Indignation among army
officers, and not n little unfavorable
criticism. 1t is said that this Mr.
Smith, on whom the Executive would
bcstow the rank OF Major, was one Of
MI. Hayes most intimate Ohio friends,
and this seems TO be the sole recon.
mendation for bis appointment, con
trary to all established precedent, To
fill the vacancy in the Pay Depart
ment, over the heads Of the many
young, active and deserving officers in
the service who really merit promo
ton. The President, it is stated, at
tempts to o~xtenuate the matter on the
plea that Mr.. Smith may be retired in
three years on account OF his age, and
thereby make way for another appoint
ment. In short, the truth of the whole
thing is that Mr.. Hayes is endeavoring
to provide IA lucrative life position fol
his friend Smith in IA very questionable
manner, to say the least. This is very
strange civil service reform, and it is
not surprising that the Senate Commit
tee on Military Affairs promptly agreed
to report adversely on Smiths nomi-
ton. We begin to suspect that Hayes
is too old to learn anything in the re-
form line. His friends are experts in
the fraud line. This latter fact is well
established.

MODEST PATTERsoN.-Senato Pattcr-
sons reasons for. refusing to 60 to South
Carolina and be tried for q bribery are
doubtless sound from this point ofview,
but they r. rather curious. In the
first place, he says that "the proper
discharge of his Senatorial duties I" rc-
qulres his presence at Washington. 1t
has been generally thought that the
duties OF Senator from South Carolina
would be more properly discharged by
Mr.. Patterson's permanent absence
although this, Ct course, is largely a
matter of opinion. But when Mr.. Pat.
%terson goes on to say that he thinks an
Immediate trial uEadvisable, because
by the lapse Of reasonable time tenn.
porary excitement would be allaycd,"
one is impelled to really question bis
sincerity. The Blue Ridge hond bill,
for whose passage Senator Patterson is
said to have paid considerable sums OF
money as brides to legislators on which
bis indictment ia based, was passed six
years ago, and the corruption practiccd
in connection with It has been common
talk ever since. The plea Of waiting
for temporary excitement to sub
side, after six years Of it, is not suni.
GENTLY dense.

LOCOMOTIVES FOR RUSSIA.

Of unusual activity for some time, and
at 5 o'clock this morning the British
steamer Timor, Captain hampton com.
mander, will leave Willow Street W hari
with twenty.six exhibits of American
enterprise and skill. The Timor is an
steamship, with a gross tonnage
capacity of 1880. The locomotives,
which weigh between forty.fve and
forty.eight tons each, are slowed away
in cases, the engines being divided into
thirty separate pieces. Usually the
passage in the Baltic sea is INSTRUCTED
by ice until May |, and it is therefore
probable that the steamer will be com
PEELED to put into an English port fol-
a short time. Fourteen m~achinists OF
the firm, under the charged of Mr.,
Richard S. Warner, are sent out to put
the engines together. They will proba-
bly, be absent from American shores
for about six months. The fourteen
remaining engines, completing the con-
tract, will be taken out by the steam
ship Wickham, which leaves this port
on Wednesday"
This is an immense contract these
depressed times and how fortunate
it was for both countries-that Eng.
land had the ships on hand so that
Yankee enterprise was enabled to de-
liver the goods. Who will undertake
to restore our lost commerce and make
some noise in our ship yards again ?

FROM THE AMAZON.

A letter by way of Liverpool, from
a special correspondent TO a Philadel.
phia paper, dated Son Board the
Steamship Mercedita, off Para, Brazil,
January 80, 1873" says The health
Of the company continues excellent
no case OF serious sickness has yet been
on board. Two cases Of cramp have
needed the Doctors attention but were
soon cured. The weather has been
unexpectedly cool. Ever since we left
the Barbados, even before we reached
the island, the cool air of the trade
winds continually blew over the deck,
driving away the intense heat of an
equatorial sun and making the nights
very pleasant indeed. Nearly all sleep
on deck, and blankets are still in dc.
mand, though We crossed the equator
yesterday morning. Everyone appears
satisfied with the trip if only more
speed could bemade. We make scarcely
five miles an hour in the open sea with
out serious current against "a. What
we shall be able to do with the swift
current of the Amazon necessarily driv-
ing us back no one can tell. We have
been out now our full allotted time and
have fourteen hundred miles still to go.
We shall be three weeks more before
we reach San Antonio and work. II
will be remembered that the steamer
was spoken making her way up the
Amazon, about nine hundred miles dis
tant from Para, and she has doubtless
long ere this reached her destination.

THE SABBATH BILL.


Mr.. jackson, of Mercer, in advoca-
ting It's passage, seemed to think that
he was presenting an unanswerable
argument in its favor when be said il
" came with the sanction Of the Sab
bath Alliance, which was composed OF
n dozen Evangelical churches" Had

he might have concluded that the TACT
he adduced was not absolutely crush
ing in its weight. There were on the
LIST of January last 554 church congre-
cations in this city, and only one in
iorty.six OF these backed the bill in
question. Five hundred and forty-two
of these congregations did not ask tor
the passage OF this blue law measure.
Therefore we say that only a very
small proportion Of our strict professors
of religion desire the passage of the
bill. Indeed, when we reflect upon
the small number of church ~organiza-
tions indorsing it, and upon the fact
that only four of the Philadelphia rep
resentatives voted for it, we have TO
conclude that this offensive measure
finds its chief support among the coun-
try members, many of whom, wc sus-
pect, were carried away by Mr.. Jack
sons overpowering exclamation that
the bill was sanctioned by the Sab
bath Alliance, composed OF a dozen
Evangelical churches, one of whose
members had been a Supreme Judge"
No doubt Mr.. jackson thought that
rounding off his argument with this
reference to Judge Porter was a
clincher, but we could name q number
of cx-Judges of the Supreme Court,
living and dead, who were and are
opposed to this sort Of legislation.
Judge Porter is a very good man-too
good, pcrhaps-but vas it necessary
to refer TO him to make the dozen Evan.
gelical churches appear respcctable.2
However this may be, they do not
truly represent the religious element
of this city Philadelphia Record.
