VIII our esteemed contemporary the

touching tho ncxt Mayor, consent to an
swor few Inquiries on the same subject:

who has already been named for the place,
ho'h by the HefdH and the WORTH Mr.
BoNNER would make Il Mayor such a. the
citizens Of New York would have no reason
10 regret having elected. He is too rich TO
he tempted and too honest to yield to
temptation II he were poor.
1t would be- satisfactory and pleasant to
have All independent Mayor, chosen by
spontaneous uprising Of the people them
selves. II would he carrying into effect tho
theory Of our -yetcm ~ government that

Speaking Of tho resumption of specie pay
monts In his Hamilton speech Senator
THURMAN uses these words.
Why r,sort To- forced J, srmilon' why crush TIC
unfortunate va orlct to anticipate ny couparauycy
lr,i ler.4 an advent llHi v,.1 come naturally amt
unattended vlt. .,,or. iis;g,-,.
Who the uuloltuuatc5 are for whose dis
tross the Senator expresses such tender
compassion he does not say. They cannot
be- the farmers, because the approach OF ic-
sumption. ii II has lowered the prices OF
their produce. has also chcapcned clothing
ten, codcn. sugar. and all kinds of manu-
fnciuroe. They cannot be- the mechanics.
for they, too profit by the fall Of prices as
we'll as farmers. They cannot he mcr-
chants who are doing business on their own
capital. Tor if they sell at low prices they
also buy at low prices. They cannot bc the
women and children who have deposits in
savings banks. for their money is worth
more to them than il was. Vino, then, are
thc persons who dread resumption. and
doclnlm against it? Plainly they are
spectators who are doing business with
borrowed money, on who have run in debit
to buy land and goods. and want another
dclugc Of paper money t. dilute prices SO
that they can get out whole.
Now. while il is true that the unfortunate
man who owes more than hc can pay is To-
bc ritini, it is mot true that the nation Is
bound To- break its faith i'm order Ia relieve
bis mi.foituuo-. The purpose to redeem our
lcE1.-tendor notes tn specie, MS soon as pos
-iblo, wa- proclaimed vhcn they were first
issued, and the day for doing 50 ha- -ncc
hocn fixed hy an express act of Congress.
For the last three years busin0 81 has been
adapting itself To- the execution II the Re-
sumption act on Jan. l. 1879, and all existing
contracts have been made on a specie lasis.
To repeal the act and To- 20 back 70 an ilre-
dccmahle paper currency would only throw
matters into confusion and postpone, with
out aNert.ng, the day Of settlement We
have suffered the worst that the applchcn-
-ion II resumption can do. and We ought to
40 on and get III" good u 1t. Tho unfortu-
nate debtors who are being crushed by the
process may justly appeal to the mercy Of
their creditors, Int il these insist on the full
ilmcut Of their obligations. there Is no call
for the nation to interfere. Men who have
made bargains with their eyes open should
not cry out like babies when those bargains
turn out badly; and still less should man
like Senator THURMAN encourage them in
such lahyism

Orvil Grants Plea for his Brother.

Mr. ORvIL l.. GRANT, being interviewed
by reporter Of the Boston Post, brought
forward several arguments in advocacy OF
his brother ULYSSES ;. GRANTS renomina-
ton, which, il not convincing, are some
what novel and entertaining One was that
if Gen. GRANT should be reelected. "McDoN-
AID, JoYcT. and those fellows would be
left to 60 to the devil.
Il hardly seems worth while to elect a par
ticuldr man President Of the United States
for this purpose, as these mon are pretty
certain TO 10 in that direction any how, judg-
ing from thrlrpa history. If OWL GRANT
could propose anything that would prevent
their going "to the devil" 1t would partake
60 much OF the nature Of the miraculous as
to bc worth considering.
GRANr, rs his brother ORvIL says, now
socs BAgcOCR in his true light" What
does it say for his astutenrss and penctra-
ton that It took him eight years 70 find out
such patent scoundrel?
ltwOuld bc no advantage TO have BABCOCK
discarded II GRANT were to be President
again man SO blind that he could not see
through BABCOCK would probably dispace
him only to substitute some other equally
unprinciplcd creature.
If GRANT wore again President and all his
old intimate associates We're set adrlt, it
stands to reason. and is in accordance with
the laws of human nature that he would
surround himself with new set equally
bad. "Can tho Ethiopian change his skin,
or the leopard his spots?" GRANT would
continue to be GRANT; and the men around
him, even il bearing different names, would
be like tho miserable crew he has hereto
fore had.
Drother ORvILs plea will not do.
