A special dispatch from Washington
says:
Mr.. R. E. Preston, the Examiner who
is in charge of the Office of the Director
Of the Mint during Director Barchard g
temporary absence, said yesterday that
in his opinion the shipments of gold
from England to this country, which
began few days ago, will continue for
some time. He said that about 81, ,O0O,-
900, mostly in English cold coin and
bars, were received yesterday, and that
81 500, 900 more, which is ahoat for this
country, will arrive within week The
total amount received up to date is
about SO, 100000.
In 1873 English gold came here to tho
amount Of $l5, 900, 900 or $40, 900, 900,
mainly on account Of purchases Of
bonds, but the shipments soon ceased.
Mr.. Preston thinks that gold will now
continue to flow in from England until
the amount reaches $20,0O0,OO0 or
$25, 600, 900, when he expects United
States bonds will begin to return. He
says there appears to be ssuperabun-
dance Of gold coin and bullion in En-
gland. According to "the Economist
of August 8, the bank Of England held
on the lst inst. gold coin and bullion
to the amount Of e35, 1866, 900, against
Ell, 10000 on August l, 1873. Mr..
Preston says that there is every indica-
tiOn that the balance of the trade now
in our favor will so continue for long
time to come.
In regard to the purchase Of silver
bullion for coinage, Mr.. Preston said
that there have not been, as reported
in some of the newspapers, any recent
purchases Of silver for American coin.
age in the London market. Only three
such purchases have been made at all,
and neither of those recently. Tho
treasury is able to buy all the silver
bullion it needs in the East at London
prices. The offers made by San Fran
cisco bullion holders are all above
London prices, and consequently no
bullion has been bought there. Mr..
Preston says that the China demand
absorbs all the Pacific coast product of
silver at present, and at rates to 2
per cent. above those which rule the
London market.
The steamer which left San Francisco
fer China Yesterday was expected to
take ont 20 OOO tn 100 ono ounces nf
silver bullion. Mr.. Preston thinks
that if the Chinese demand should
cease, the Pacific coast bullion owners
would be left adrift and compelled to
make concessions which would result in
some purchases by the Government.
The coinage of standard silver dollars
last month was only $1,6OO,0O0, but
the deficiency will be made up this
month, so that the amount coined in
July and August will reach the "a, ,00O,-
600 required by law.

he threatened his wife with harm.
Mollie Turner, who lives next door

Richards stated in his evidence that
the neighborhood Of this occurrence is
particularly noted for the visitation Of
women having questionable characters,

EDITORS REvIEw-Gentlemen AS you
have favored in you paper the policy Of
the President as to the retiring of the
present volume of greenbacks, will you,
as matter of justice to those of your
readers who believe such course would
be suicidal to the best interests Of the
county, insert the following. The Chi
cago Tribune, from which it is taken, is
without doubt one of the ablest journals
of Republican politics in the whole
Union. If this policy Of wiping out one
third of the whole currency, a currency
which is as good as gold the world over,
and costs the Government nothing for
interest, is persisted in the confusion Of
party lines may be only equalled by the
ruin and disaster thereby done to the
business relations of the nation.

"The attitude of the entire New York
press is sectiOnal ErOUincidl, SerUite and
inSincere. 1T is sectional in that it is
willing to prostitute the interests of the
whole people to the greed Of one section.
1t is provincial in that it takes a cOntrac-
ted ard obstinate view of subject Of Ma
tional concern. 1t is servie because it
Voluntarily prostitutes itself to the ex-
actatiOns of certain clique whose Opin-
ions are not even shared by the com
munity which the New York press pur-
Hrtp = ;s,; l.
cause it attempts to deceive both parties
into the belief that contraction of the
currency will serve party ends, knowing
all the while that such counsel is absurdly
false. The Ne,o York newspapers, IN their
treatment Of the caTrency question, are little
better than hired 0SS0SSjnS they arOuld
mortally stab the prosperity Of the country
at the command Of Val street bandits oChO
seek to plunder the people. If it is crime
to organize and urge the robbery!of bank
or residence, then it is also crime to or
ganize and urge the robbery of Il whole
people. This is precisely what the New
York press is doing. 1t would steal from
the many to further enrich the few 1t
would rob the people of its abundance of
currency for the transaction of business,
IN order to secure TO the m0ney-lenderS q
higher interest on their loans. 1t would
rob the producers and the manufacturers
of fair prices in order that the veal
thy may buy more with their gold.
1t would increase the burdens of the
debtors everywhere in order that the
creditors may exact more than is their
due 1t would deprive the country of it's
prosperity, stitie public confidence, check
the new impetus business has acquired
under the stmulant of expansion which
resumption has provided, swell the public
and private debts, force people to do bus
mess on falling market, and all at the
behest of its masters and in order to graf
ify their greed. Such transparent and
deSpcable servility as this is not likely to
influence anybody of intelligence and
character"
