Specie Payments.

The resumption OF specie payments
next January remains uurepealed. This
in Congress which at the opening OF the
last session was largely in favor of s"it
money, is result which the ltend-
of sound currency may rejoice over.
IL indicates that the strength OF the green
hackers has decreased rather than III
creased within the last six months. Their
power in Congress steadily wan,d a the
session advanced.
And what is true of Congress is also
true. we believe of the county. In the
west greenbackism is running down. Ia
the east the organs OF the party are max
ing good deal of noise and buster, but
the basis on which it stands is unsubstan-
tial. The failure OF the nhltioui>ts in
Congress to secure the repeal OF the re-
sumption act is a hard stroke for the
greenbackers. Their last defeat in the
House on Mr. Ewiog's motion -
bring before that body The bill reported
some time ago to retire the national
bank circulation and substitute for il
treasury notes, was particularly signili-
cant OF their waning power. The vote
stood l09 in the affirmative TO ia in the
negative. But few months ago, tins
bill, il it could have been reached, would
have been passed by large majority
With this defeat in the closing hours OF
Congress staring the greenbackers in the
face, and with gold accumualinS in thu
treasury while greenbacks only Lack
three-iourths of one per cent OF par with
gold, they ought to have the sagacliy to
see that their days are numbered. Sixty
days from this date their stock IN Maine
will be worthless, as worthless as their
paper promises to pay would be could
they succeed in canyng their imitation
theories into effect.

If WE had a hundred policemen, ten in
each ward, rows would occur, and be
lust as frequent as at present. A man
under the influence of liquor would very
probably strike another in front of the
City Hall, with several policemen near
at hand, and as quickly as though he
were in the Ninth or Tenth Ward. The
city is kept in as good order as ever it
was, and the people behave themselves
in the most creditable manner. This
being the case our correspondent will
therefore have to excuse us for
emitting his communication; since it
will be construed as plea for increasing
the police force, which it seems to be,
rather than report of a local disturbance
which is duly mentioned in our local
columns, and the police are in nowise
to blame for it.
