able and more difficult to believe than any
other. 1t stands without any evidence to sup
port it. Those only can accept 1t who con-
eeive the Administration capable of giving
false reason, in an official order, for
an important official act. 1t cannot be
supposed, however, that the orders OF the
Sd and 9TH were issued by Secretary Sherman
without the knowledge or approval OF the
President. Still less can it be supposed that
having issued them after full consideration
with the Presidents approval, he now reYokes
them at the Presidents desire, contrary to his
own conviction, and still remains in the Cab
met But if they were issued without full ex-
animation of the law, or without due cOnsld-
GRAFTON of the financial consequences, and, IN
effect. without an understanding OF Their
practical meaning, the confidence with
which all friends of resumption were
disposed to regard the efforts of the
Administration must sustain strange
and painful shock. A public opinion that Is
worth anything can hardly applaud the reyo-
cation of an order which, one week ago. the
law and the circumstances being the same, IL
applauded heartily as an important step TO-
ward resumption. The Republican party must
carry out the Resumption Act and use the
ample powers given it to that end without
faltering or delay, or it will go down IN richly
deserved defeat.

HOME AGAIN.

At a recent friendly dinner in London, an
eminent English BOOKSELLER half in jest, asked
an American who was present why his Gov
eminent did not institute an order of nobility
to which those alone should be eligible who
had visited Europe. The ready answer was
that the order proposed, as 1t would include q
pretty large moiety of the inhabitants of this
republic, would cease to confer any desirable
distinction. The honor would be in not be-
longing to the Legion of the Travelled. We are
without particular statistics of those who have
been across the Atlantic and who are now
coming back as fast as the feet OF steamships
can bring them, but the number must be very
large. Indeed, we hear of dsconsolate people
impatiently waiting in that least interesting
of cities, Liverpool, for an opportunity Of
getting home. The American who this year
has gone abroad for the sake of getting rid Of
his cOuntrymen viii probably admit the
failure of his attempt. AS he walked
through the rush and amid the roar of the
Strand he met them face TO face, and knew
them at sight. They stood by him as he

THE SECRETARY H4LTS.

One week ago Secretary Sherman was man
to be envled. He was charged with trust
more important than had been given TO any
other statesman since Lincoln, and had gone
far in its execution with success. He was
clothed with ample power for the completion
of his task. His latest order was everywhere
accepted as proof that he knew how to use
that power and had the requisite courage. No
one doubted that such an order had been Is
sued after full consideration, after counsel
with the proper legal advisers as to any
questions of law involved, and with full
approval of the President Those who knew
Mr.. Shermans caution and prudence-yirtues
sometimes carried so far by him that he had
been accused of timidity and irresolution-
were the least able to conceive that step
so important had been taken without all
proper precautiOn. Business men, firms and
banks made such preparations as the formally
declared policy of the Government rendered
necessary or advisable. In the order OF
September z, Secretary Sherman had given
nine days notice of his purpose it was freely
announced, in order that business men might
have ample time to adjust their affairs to new
conditions. In one matter alone, transac-
tons involving many millions were offered
upon the basis of the official order and
notification, and, if that order is revoked,
these offers may cause heavy loss to fnan-
cial institutions by which the Government has
been materially aided. No one suspected that,
without some extraordinary change in the sur
rounding circumstances, so important an order
could be revoked.
1t is only the simple truth that no change
whatever has occurred in the monetary or
commercial situation which could possibly af
feet the expediency of the order of September
=. The following notice from the Secretary
of the Treasury, dated on Friday, does not
attribute change of course to a change of
circumstances, but to doubt which every
one had a right to believe the Administration
must have fully considered, not only before
the order of September z, but before the pre-
yiOus order of September was issued

The small boy has his uses. The defence in
the Stannard murder case explain the mi
.croscopic blOOd-stains on the clergyman's
jack-kmfe in a most natural way. HIS
little boy is said to have got hold of the
knife and cut his fingers with it. In witness
whereof, behold the scars on his hand, which
should be photographed before they heal.
The argument appeals to the practical expo
rience of every wife and mother.

It Is pleasant to note that those who are IN
the habit of pointing their revOlvers at their
own hearts, or at the heads of their neighbors,
are becoming more considerable. Last week
pair of lovers in an Iowa town, who had con-
WINGED themselves that they could not live
either together or apart, were found dead side
by side with bullet holes in each forehead !;
but previous to their enforced exit from life,
they had washed themselves and arrayed
themselves for the tomb, with Grape on their
arms and white satin slippers on their feet
in fact they had done everything except to
order their own collins, engage an undertaken
write the death notices, and hold an inquest
Doubtless it was the same thoughtful regard
for the convenience of the public that induced
John Riley and his associate, in San Fran
cisco, to select a cemetery as the scene of their
duel last Saturday. As they began shooting
at ten PAGES and gradually approached each
other, they evidently intended to kill each
other in a spot where they could be buried
without delay or unnecessary expense; and
possibly their seconds were an undertaken and

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,



The Hon. JAMES GmFILLAN Treasurer United States:
SIR: Some question has been made whether the
Issue OF silver dollars in exchange for United States
notes before January next Is IN entire accordance
with the legislation OF Congress bearing the subject
and therefore you vail please postpone the execution OF
the Department order Of the Sd instant until further
instructions and withhold from transmission 10 Assist
ant Treasurers the order of the 7th Silver dollars will
be issued as heretofore In the purchase OF silver bullion
I'm payment OF coin liabilities. and in the mode pointed
out In your! order OF July 10, as modified. With view
20 their payment currency liabilities will request
that each dsbursing officer estimate the amount he
conveniently disburse Very respectfully,
JOHN sHPRMAS. Secretary.
On the very day this cOuntermanding order
was sent out by Secretary Sherman, President
Hayes was saying to the Chamber of Commerce
of Chicago: If understand my own wish
Gin the matter, it is that you may know ex-
"actly what to count upon, and this in all
business transactions, as you understand
better than / do, is more than half the
"battle.D The business community certainly
cannot know what to count upon" if the
most important financial steps taken by this
Administration are likely TO be reversed
within six DAYS by the discovery that the law
governing the matter had not been duly ex-
amined. If profession and practice are not to
agree better in matters of finance than they
have in respect to Civil Service Reform, the
Administration will soon find itself in a most
painful position.
Democratic journals allege that the orders
of September 3 and were issued for political
effect, and that the Administration, frightened
and unnamed by the reverse in Maine, re-
yoked these orders " for the sake of the
"party,n aud determined to abandon all further
steps toward resumption until after the Fall
elections. This explanation is more discredit-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1878-09-16

The reversal of the policy of immediate
resumption of specie payments In silver seems
to have resulted from a consultation of Sec
rotary Sherman with three of the hardest of
the hard-money members of the Cabinet
Secretaries Evarts, Schurz and Devens. A
dispatch was sent to the President and his
speedy return to Washington was suggested,
and response was received to the effect that
his views on financial measures had not been
modified, The Treasury order was then issued.
There seems to be lamentable absence of
backbone somewhere.

The Powers are fast taking sides on the
Greek appeal. Prince Bismarck, who is not
guided by any sentimental considerations
on the subject IS disposed to remain
coldly indifferent. Lord BeacOnsfeld Is in
.clined to give the Porte more time, fearing
evidently that the unstable character of the
Berlin settlement might be exposed were he to
cOerce his Ottoman ally. Italy advises Greece
to rely on moral suasion alone, and
France is likely to give the same advice.
Meanwhile the Porte will seaD the political
situation, and if it finds that it can safely
withhold the promised territory from Greece,
it will assuredly do so. 1t is only by force
that Turks can be made to act fairly.
