wrapped about the body, which was bare and ex.
posed as it laid upon the rocks, face downwsrds.

boy, but had the appearance of having been
strangled as there marks shout the neck,
and the face somewhat purpled. The inhu-
man and bru al parents with the evident design
Of concealing their crime, had in the night time
thrown the body Of the child. as they had sup
posed, into the water to be washed away; but in
stead of that, it landed upon the rocks at the
edge of the stream, and daylight laid bare the
fearful crime.

Resumption of Specie Payment.

Unless expressly prohibited by Congress
from resuning specie pav ments on the frs, dav
of January next Secretary Sherman has dis
tincily announced his determination 10 carry
out he law 10 that effect on the day fixed =
of his ability to do so he does not seem 10 en-
tain doubt if he can supplement the coin on
hand by selling fifty millions of the four and
a-half per cent bonds. That sale he has now
made TO the members of the late syndicate, and
is therefore upon its own showing, put in a
posi- lion TO carry out his purposes. He has
stated informally that with one hundred aud
fifty millions OF coin in the treasury be could
redeem all tho notes that might be offered, and
as he will he in possession of more than that
sum at the end of the year he will have album
dant opportunity to practically demonstrate
the correctness of the conclusions he has
reached. On the first of January next the
available coin in the treasury will, by such
meantime as shall make the gold receipts equal
the like expenditures, consist of the ninety
millions in gold now in its vaults and thirty
millions in silver. To this is TO be added fifty
millions as the proceeds Of the new loan. This
will give the secretary total of coin amount
ing to one hundred and seventy millions of
dollars. As three hundred millions OF green
backs can, according to Mr.. Sherman's con-
strnc,ion of the resumption act, be retained in
circulation, and as the redemption of the out
standing surplus will, il is believed, bring the
remainder up to par with gold resumption
ought to be easy if no unforeseen circumstance

"JUSTICE fS)'i

Sometime ago we stated in an article en-
titled Pulpit and Politics." that it was re-
Fulsive TO all pure minds and corruptable
example to see preachers dabble in politics
This we stated as our opinion, not unfounded
by reason or unbacked by public opinion, for
nine-tenths Of the people of the county agree
with us, and the same opinion is main aimed
by us.
Some scribbler over the signature of "Jus-
tice' in the last Adoocate charges that the
article was published with the view OF biasing
public opinion against preacher friend and
aspirant for congressional donors, in the inter-
est of some one else. We deny this emphati-
cally, and assert that the conclusion was mol
drawn from the action of any particular per-
son, especially at home, but from the action Of
the preachers who denounced in the pulpit the
silver bill, and from the action of the CON-
mittee Of preachers who waited on Mr.. Hayes
with the object Of continuing certain official
in office. 1t looks as if he were so narrow
minded that by the time he required to con-
pose his article that he had either forgotten
the foundation of our article or maIiciously
wishes 10 belle us. II he will take the trouble
to again look over the article in the SENTINEL,
he will observe the fragrant Misrepresentation.
His language is so plain that no one is left
in doubt as to whom the preacher friend and
politician is he refers. If 'Justce' saw in
our article fitting application to the action
of his preacher friend and politician ii is his
own conception and we are not TO be held re-
sponsibe for it. If the preacher friend and
politician action had ever occurred 10 our
mind and We felt disposed to criicse, we
would have done so fearlessy and never put
on shield TO protect our vulnerable parts.
We believe Justice to be nobody but an
an ns,gator Of antagonism in religious be-
lief, and with this belief we shall drop him
and allow him to mourn his feebeness 10 &C.
complish his execrable purpose.

only one-my quickened conscience, and the
sense of what is due TO the cause of truth and
justice. During all the complications OF these
