Nichol, secretary of the honest money
league, in answer to Secretary Sherman,
regarding recent reports about a change

declaration on the subject which has come
from any ofthe heads Of departments in
Washington:
WASHINGTON. Sept. le. 1S7S.-Dear
Sir:-Your letter of the 10th inst. is re-
ceived. have no wonder if in the face
of such telegrams rs have been sent over
the wires you should seem distracted and
confoundad, but there is not one word oi
| truth in the whole story you mention. M
body here has proposed to reeede from tht
position we have taken on the resumption
act, its feasibility and ACCESSIBILITY NJ
member of the cabinet has proposed
change. nor has the president been consult
ed, nor has any one ever thought OF sucl
lathing. The whole thing was scandalou
and outrageous fabrication. The chang
in the mode of paying out silver, was tn
real object. it seems to me, was simply
desire by newspaper correspondents t
create sensation, They have falsihe
and perverted an interview / bad with
republican editor here, but think th
Eeorreeuon has already been fully made, Q
gill be made clear withina day or tive
Go on, therefore, with courage and hope
I You may be certain there will be no let
) ing down by the executive branch of th
i government as to resumption on the frs
day of January next. Very truly yours
JOHN SHERMAN.

Simms, the negro arrested Saturday for
striking an officer during the riot. was in
the police court to-day. Judge Smell in
giving decision in the case said he held
that Cohen had excited feeling of riot
among the more deluded and ignorant

up this sort of thing he was sharp enough
TO keep out of the way of the law, and his
followers have become the victims; II

held by Cohen were rlotous and disorderly !;
the property and lives of the people were
endangered and should death result from
any Of these proceedings. each follower of
Cohen would be amenable tor the homi-
eide: it should be stopped, the working
men could gain nothing; Cohen was mo-
body and could do them no good; the ac-
cused was one OF Cohen's victims, that
had become worked into feeling Of riot
because of his teachings, and was somt-
what excusable, he would only line him ten
dollars, Ia default thirty days IN jail; the
fine was paid by Cohen. = xEe

talking wi2h the superintendent an order
came from the district commissioners di
Irecting the superintendent not to allow
