Specie Resumption.
WASHINGTON. NAV 1,

WASHINGTON. May 49,
The EUening Star has an elaborate
article on the resumption of specie pay
ments, and believed to lave the sane
ton of the Secretary of the Treasury.
1t says there can be nothing in the way
OF the Secretary having in the Treasury
next January the amount of coin for
resuming he had calculated on, namely:
S205, 100000. With this amount he
can without difficulty redeem the out
standing $2S7, 100000 in greenbacks.
The Secretary does not anticipate that
he will be called upon to redeem more
than Sl02, 900, 900, but is securing coin
to meet any emergency. 1t is thought
that greenbacks,being redeemed i'm pold
or silver, will be preferred by the peo-
pie to bulky coin.
The only thing that keeps gold above
par is likely the fact that customs du-
ties are payable alone in this coin, and
the chances are that the passage of a
bill making greenbacks receivable for
such duties will cause the slight p~e-
MUM to disappear. Imports are larger
than exports, making the balance of
trade in our favor. The yearly gold
payments by the Government for inter-
est on bonds are about 800, 200, 900, which
is more than covered by receipts from
customs, which are not calculated for
use in resumption.
National Banks will also have to re-
sumo. Their total circulation is about
1929, 249,4 ,475, deposits $661 $50 SIT,
making the total liabilities about $780,
016,O52. The total cash resources, in
Guiding per cent redemntion fund in
the Treasury, as required by law, are
about $3.50, POI, ,055. Every dollar of their
notes is secured by United States bonds
to an amount of at least 10 per cent.
greater than the amount of notes out
standing. These bonds are of ready
sale, and can, in the ordinary course of
business, be easily converted into any
kind of money. In banks other than
national there are deposits of some
81, 800, 100000. These are private and
individual banks, however, and their
liabilities are not in any way connected
with the Government.

Bishop OoskrY.

Bishop McCoskry has sent the follow
ing letter to Bishop Smith, of Ken
tucky, the Presiding Bishop, who has
in consequence revoked his call for a
special meeting of the House of Bishops
for June II:
New YORK, May 4. 1878.
RIGHT REV. AND DEAR BROTHER: hereby
withdraw my letter resigning the Jurisdiction
of the Diocese of Michigan, dated March II,
and beg to inform you that have aban-
doned my intended trip to Europe in conse-
quence of painful events of recent occurrence.
1t is my purpose to remain in the country for
the present, in order that may be easily ac-
cessible to all whose duty it may be to see me.
With the strongest desire to vindicate my
character, find 1t impossible to meetcharges
which have taken no shape except the vague
and varied one put before the public by news
paper rumors and abusive gossip. Reiterat-
ing my emphatic and solemn denial of all the
scandalous allegations against me, hold my
self ready to meet any definite charges made
by responsible parties. The above course of
action, / am authorized to say, meets with the
approval of those brethren OF the Episcopate
whom | have had the opportunity of con-
sulting. | began this note by announcing
the withdrawal of my resignation; conclude
it by saying that this is done to give oppor-
tunity for the vindication of my character.
So soon as this end shall be attained my resig-
nation will be renewed because of my increas-
ing physical infirmities. Most faithfully and
a1ectonately yours,
SAMUEL A. MCCosKRY,
Bishop of Michigan.
The mode of procedure Bishop Nc
Coskry must adopt to secure an investi-
CATION is first to lay his case before two
other Bishops, upon whose recommen-
dation he may apply to the Presiding
Bishop for court of inquiry. The
Presiding Bishop will select this court
from the list of delegates to the last
General Convention from the Michigan
Diocese and the three surrounding dio-
ceses-Western Michigan, Northern
Ohio, and Indiana. From these four
dioceses sixteen names will be chosen
by lot, half of whom will be laymen.
If this court, which will examine papers
and witnesses, finds probable case
against the Bishop it will notify the
Presiding Bishop, who will take steps
for the organization of the court of
Bishops, the final tribunal. Eleven
Bishops constitute the court. They are
chosen by lot, each side having the
right of challenge to two names. If
both or either should fail to exercise
the right the Presiding Bishop does it,
reducing the court to seven members.

remarks in this connection
The friends of temperance
ought to know, without such
unpleasant light on the subject,
that except in insulated locali-
ties and under peculiarly favor
able circumstances, prohibition
is impossible. A very large
proportion of nearly every COM
munity do not want and will
not have stomach legislation.
They care very little how high
the licenses are put, or the
means employed to collect
them but they will not attempt
to abolish liquor selling and
drinking altogether, for the
simple reason that it cannot be
done.

THE blue Book" tells that
the total number of Federal of
fice-holders now feeding at the
public crib is 8s,S8o-truly a
noble and patriotic army. This
grand army is in the proportion
of l to $50 of the total popula-
ton, or I to every 90 voters. 1t
has been figured down that if
there was but five applications
for each position-and there
are usually many more-this
would make one in every eigh-
teen an office-seeker. The de-
duction is, that the average
American is not only willing,
but exceedingly anxious to sac
rihce himself for the public veal.
The fact is there are too many
offices. Counting all offices,
state, municipal and federal,
every ninth voter is an Office
seeker.

Tho Cat Out Of tho Bag.

The St. Louis Globe Demo
c,at makes the official an
nouncement that, it is the duty
of all good Republicans" to
help the Greenback movement
in Missouri for the sake of the
harm it will do the Democratic
party.
The 6. d. is one of the lead
ing Republican papers in the
West and is high authority with
the faithful of that political
persuasion. The advice to all
good Republicans" to help
the Greenbackers look as if the
Republicans, as a party, were
in full sympathy with the Green.
hackers, or the Greenbackers
are in full sympathy with the
Republicans; it matters not
which way it is; the fact is plain
that the two parties are in &C
cord and are willing to do any
thing and everything to injure
and if possible bring about a
disruption in the ranks OF the
Democracy. All good Demo-
Gratis will discover at once the
object of the Greenbackers, or,
as they are now pleased to call
themselves, the Nationals. 1t
is just possible that the G, D..
did not intend to liberate the
male feline that was SO snugly
bagged, and having let the cat
out OF. the bag, may, perhaps
attempt to capture him again
and say it was all a mistake.
The finances of the country
are now in a better condition
than they have been since the
issue of greenbacks by the Gov
efnment. After the severe
struggle the country has passed
through in returning to a specie
basis would it uot be well
enough to let the money ques-
ton alone. The Democracy
has always been a hard money
party, and their point having
| been carried, there is nothing
more to be done. Confidence
once fully restored, trade, COM
merce and agriculture will soon
move along smoothly in its ac-
customed channels and the peo-
pie will go to work with will to
repair their shattered fortunes,
which was brought about by an
inflated currency and over-trad-
ing.
