Trade VIII France.

WASHINGTON, April l9.-The secretary Of the
treasury transmitted to the House of Represen-
tativcs communication from the Bordeaux
char Der Of commerce. addressed to the Presi-
dent and to Congress. They say that in perus-
ing the bill for tariff they have been deeply
impressed by what concerns French wines, es-
pecially at time when to a certain extent the
ideas of free trade, and the public financial
situation which has become very prosperous,
induced them to hope the United States would
gradually lower their custom house duties on
different articles of importation.
They think it necessary to
recall to mind how much the lowering of du-
ties, when it is effected with skill and prudence,
teuds to happy results, and how frequently it
has happened that such reductions have had
the threefold advantage Of developing COM
merce, of giving satisfaction to consumers, and
ct the same time of increasing the income of
the public treasury in consequence of the enor-
nous increase of consumption. This, they say,
would be a peaceful means of contributing to
develope and increase commercial intercourse
between the United States and France.

evening D statement that I have verbally
requested Mr.. Glover, chairman of the commit
tee on expenditures in the treasury depart
ment, to investigate the Office of sergeant-at-
prns of this House. There is not a syllable of
truth in the statement, nor CLEAN of
warrant for it. First. I know nothing
whatever Of the action of the SER
geant-at-arms in the discharge Of his duties
that needs investigation, and second; I have
never had any conference whatever with Mr..
Glover on this subject, nor have directly or
infiire thy had any communication with him.

Speoie RESUMPTION.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The House commit
tee on banking and currency held very inter-
eating conference this morning with John A.
Stewart. of the United States Trust company.
New York, and j. y. Vermilye, Of the Mer-
chants bank, New York. The question of the
practicability of maintaining resumption
pressed upon these gentlemen by Mr.. Ewing.
They held inheyibly the position that resump-
ton can be safely entered upon the first Of
January 1879, and that with the present fav-
orable outlook Of good crops and a balance of
trade in favor of this country resumption can
be maintained.
They expressed the belief, however, that the
maintenance of specie payments would not be
assured unless portion OF the currency circu-
!ation is retired and foreign exchanges contin-
ne to be in our favor. Mr.. Vernilye thought
that one hundred one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars of outstanding United States notes
should be retired in order to make specie re-
sumption entirely safe.

Charity.


Editor Ah6Us.
While the subject of charity is under
discussion will you allow NE to say a word
to those excellent ladies who are author
lied to sell tickets to the Charity Ball.
They doubtless desire to sell as many
tickets as possible, but they should re-
member, when they unduly urge young
men, who are working on small salaries,
to purchase tickets, that we are the best
judges of our ability to give that amount
OF money. While we might, in justice to
our own necessities and to those Deepen
dent upon our weekly wages for support,
be justified in giving one, two or three
dollars for the benefit of the unemployed
poor of the city, were they authorized to
receive such donations, we are not able to
pay the price they ask, for what, perhaps,
would be great pleasure to US and a
little benefit to the poor. Perhaps these
ladies are fully justified in using their win
ming ways upon men 10 comfortable cir
cumstances and our wealthy citizens, to
induce them to purchase tickets.
But we who do not dance. who cannot
afford to attend places of amusement of
this sort. but who are willing to contribute
our mite to this good cause should be let
off easy. should be spared from facing
persistent importunings. We feel that
we are under obligations to the husbands
OF these ladies for our situations, and hence,
the disagreeable part OF refusing to buy
tickets. Do they consider our necessities
and our situation?

that all teams from the other side of the

40 bushels or over will be supplied with u

the ferry company it probably originated
