in selling large amounts. But success
is somewhat Important not only In
order to check distrust abroad, but
to strengthen the Treasury. The coin
held, In excess Of certificates, ID still
$02, ,393,O1S, but it is flowing out
rapidly. and nearly $4O,OOO,OOO more
must be paid out within about as
many days. If these disbursements could
be made without suspension of funding, or
depletion of the coin IN store Tor re-
| sumption, ard if return of bonds IN
place of coin from abroad could be
arrested, undoubtedly the premium on gold
would rapidly sink, if not entirely vanish.
1t seems exceedingly important, therefore,
that the regulations soon to be announced
should be such as to promote large pop
ular subscriptions. TO this end, we hope
the Secretary may find means to bring the
loan to the notice of the whole people, ana
may make the most liberal and convenient
arrangements for small investors, who can
not afford to go to the larger cities,
nor to make separate purchases OF
gold. Apparently, it is quite in the power OF
the Treasury to sell the gold itself, at the
market price, wherever any investor may need
to deposit it.
The banks OF this city gained 81 ,3S4.3OO in
specie last week, and $23S5,3OO In legal
tenders. As the deposits increased s., ,3O6.3OO,
and the loans decreased $2,955, 100, large IN
crease of bank notes would be Inferred If reliance
could be placed in the absurd report OF
averages only There is new occasion for re-
grct that the banks, which were said to con-
template important reforms in their mode
of reporting after the beginning OF the
new year, have as yet done nothing III
that direction. Enough appears, however, TO
show that the banks are growing stronger
with gratifying rapidity. Probably recent dis
closures in the cases of Meter. Bonner and
Dunning have led some of the banks to
curtail loans of sort so dangerous.
The decrease of loans, since last year-from
S252,4l1 900 to $780, ,2OO-is apparently
greater than can be explained by the charg-
ing off $I2I7,OOO of bad debts by the
National banks, or by the decline in
business transactions. The exchanges at the
Clearing House for the three weeks ending on
Saturday have been only $1,225,O15,-
800, against s1,235, s77,6O7 last year,
and yet sales of stock during the
same time amounted to 1851 67j shares,
against 81, ,Gl9,S sid last year. This implies a
considerable shrinkage in legitimate business,
though not in proportion to the decline III
loans by the banks. But it is not matter
OF surprise that business stagnates, and
that failures since January l have been
remarkably numerous. Uncertainty as to the
Silver Bill does more harm than was done by
political agitation last year, with all its threats
of civil war.

G0LD AND 1HE BUSINESS SITUA1ION.

CON lND 1HE BUSINESS SITUAIION.
On Saturday gold sold at 1o1l2. 1t is plain
that, but for one obstacle. the premium would
have nearly or quite vanished. Enemies of the
public credit at Washington cause the premium
on gold lust as enemies Of the Union caused it
nearly sixteen years ago. The gold valac Of
500 in grccabacks on Saturday was sos 30.
and il has not been as high before since the
2Gth OF April, lSG2, when the Legal-tcndcr Act
was barely two months Old, and the amount
issued WAS only $l50,O00, 900, and the Union
army was still parading III front of Washington
and digging before Norfolk. Not until thirteen
years after the close of the war do We find
gold returning to the same point. A consid
Grafton OF the causes which produce the de-
cline or prevent the disappearance Of the
premium is, il effect, Il review of the business
situation.
The Abyssnia sailed from Liverpool on Sat
urday with 81 ,OO0, 900 in gold for this port.
Cable advIccs are that othe. large shipments
viii now be made. During the first half of
january the exports from tins port were
%11,57j,711, against $1O,479, ,406 during the
same weeks last year. But the imports here
during three weeks ending on Saturday
last year. Thus the change of balance in favor
of this country already exceeds two millions
at this port alone, and il is also known that
exports from Boston, Baltimore, and New
Orleans have considerably increased. The pros
pcct of IL close Of the war in Europe does
not check exports of brcadstuifs, and
if, as dispatch asserts, the armisticc,
which will doubtless end in peace, is
TO be signed to-day, there Is reason to
believe that the lowering of prices, which
have been long sustained by spectators,
will cause larger exports Of breadstulls than
would have occurred had the war continued.
Of cotton, petroleum. and many other articles,
it is believed that Our exports will be largely
increased by peace.
Under these circumstances, the movement Of
coin this way would probably be sew
eral times rs great, but for the fact
that since January 1 Government bonds in
amount, according to good authority, more
than $4,000 have been shipped to this
side on account Of the silver agitation.
This current of bonds htherward it be-
comes very important for tho Treasury to
check, but this it has no prospect of doing
except by success in sales of bonds by popular
subscription. Such success would sustain the
price, and would indicate to foreign holders
the confidence of American investors
that Their Government will not be
guilty of bad faith. Undoubtedly, conf
dencc that the Silver Bill will not become
a law has been much strengthened, not only
by recent information from Washington
and the vote III the Senate, but by the united
action of the banks Of Eastern cities and
of Ncw-Oreans, and the very creditable pro-
test by the banks of Charleston on Saturday.
This increase of confidence has been very DO
tent IN reducing the premium on gold.
The offering of bonds to popular subscrip-
ton by the Treasury has a similar effect, in
asmueh as it bctokcns belief on the part
of the Secretary that he can succeed

tract to both parties than one containing the
"sane or insane exception, is one that leaves
the company bound as in ordinary cases OF
death. when the insured is, at the
time of decease, confined in lunatic
asylum. This would have the effect
of hurrying the friends of an insured
lunatic to confine him in an asylum upon the
earliest evidences of insanity, and thereby very
greatly diminish the chances Of his harming
himself or others.

At last the Cleopatra obellsk is nearing the
end of its troubled voyages. As the caiSson-
vessel has been hailed off the English coast,
in fair weather. and within ten hours sail of
London docks the dangers of the sea are
probably past. At present the obclisk Is al
most the only acceptable thing coming to Eng
land from the East and it may serve to break
the monotony of disagreelblc items from that
quarter. Even from Egypt there is unpleasant
news for British ears, since it is reported that
the work of draining Lake Marcotl> is to be
given by the Niccroy to Dutch instead OF Eng
lish engineers, and the llollanders are likely
to gain profit as well as glory from that great
undertaking.

Europe may have to remain in suspense a
few days longer for the Russian terms of
peace. The Grand Duke Nicholas cannot be
expected to enter AdrianOpe and dictate con-
dihons until the Ottoman troops have retired,
and comparative tranquility is restored. Each
day only strengthens his position, and adds to
the perplexities of the Porte.

Some weeks since The TRIBUNE called at
tention to the frequent instances IN which as
ease and death have been traced to defective
plumbing in private residences. In many
cases, especially in Brooklyn, thc bad plumb
ing that engcndcred disease was found in
houses otherwise well constructed, and .oc-
cupicd by wealthy citizens. Similar researches in
this city have developed like defects. The
Boards of Health in both cities have been
making prajseworthy efforts to call the atten-
ton of householders to these evils The
plumbers, it is said, are not wholly to blame,
bat the punishment of some of them who
have done rascally work might deter others
from engaging in such frauds.

The courts make it more expensive for the
miliman to be caught in the act of watering
his milk, than to be detected by the sly and
insinuating lactOmcter. This is a fresh illus
tration OF the great moral truth that there are
degrees of guilt in being found out and will
increase that modest and retiring disposition
which already characterizcs the mllman of
our native land.

President Hayes and Secretary Sherman can
survive the censure of the Ohio Senate for
their opinions on the Silver question. 1t is the
same Democratic and liquidation Senate that
lately helped to elect the high priest of infla-
tion to the United States Senate, and applauded
the demaGogue Ewing. 1t is pleasant by the
way, to see Ohio Republicans voting once more
soldly on the side of National honesty. They
will do well TO stay there.

The first vote on the Stanley Matthews res
olution will be on Senator COnkling's amend
ment to make it a joint resolution, thus re-
orliring the Presidents signature. This would
give Mr. Hayes a chance to knock the Bland
bill on the head by proxy, and it might be
good idea TO let him have it. A veto mes
sage ON the resolution might change some
votes on the bill, especially if some OF the
able silver Senators made UP their minds that
theirs was the losing side. But, at all events
the resolution once ont ofthe way--wc shall
hear less of Stanley Matthews.

Although the reports of Bulgarian massacres
CONS from Turkish sources, there is good
reason to suppose that the scenes oil
last Summer will be repeated. Then
the Bulgalians paid off old scores in
a Bulgarian way, but soon found them
selves at the mercy of Suleiman PaSha and
his mnions, who retaliated by hanging fifty
men day on the mere suspicion that they had
aided the Russians. Now that the Bulgarian
is again dominant, it will be hard to restrain
him from his revenge.

Very soon after the receipt of this commu-
closely associated with Mr.. Triton in the edi-
tOrship of The Brooklyn Union, inquired of
the city editor what the Tribune would pay for
copy OF Mrs. TitOn's confession, and was
told that the Tribune had the assurance of
Mrs. TiltOn herself that no such document was
in existence, and consequently the Tribune
did not care to purchase bogus confession.
Later still the Tribune learned that an alleged
confession had been offered for sale, and that
one of the daily papers had drawn a check for
5000 to be paid on assurance of its genuine
character.
The Tribune reporter called at the ladys
residence, or rather that of her mother, Mrs.
Morse, with whom she resides, at an early
hour last evening to ascertain definitely the
truth or falsity of the reported confession. The
reporter was met at the paror door by Mrs.
