SHOT HERSELF IN THE BREAST.

For the past few years Mrs. Josephine Cotton. aged
forty years. who resides at No. 2s6 West Houston
street, has shown symptoms of mental alteration.
Last evening her husband, who is a compositor.
was about leaving the house she called him back at
the same time adding that IL he did not remain
she would shoot herself He did not attach
any importance to her words as he was not aware
that there was revolver of any description in the
house. As he prepared to leave she jumped upon
chair and took from the top of bookcase
self-cocking pistol. The next moment a loud re-
port, followed by sharp cry of pain. arrested
the husbands footsteps. His wiIe had shot
herself in the right breast. Doctor Den
nson, of Clarkson street, extracted the ball,
aud pronounced the wound not dangerous. Mrs.
Cotton feeling comfortable last night and con-
verscd freely. 81 round the old pistol" she said,
"in a drawer OF my husbands bureau; l took 10
down to shooting gallery to see IL could fire il. a.

that the ball went clean through an inch

could not be discharged without raising the ham

Her husband also maintains that the shooting was
entirely accidental.

RESUMPTION.
SECRETARY SHERMAN TO THE HONEST MONEY
LEAGUE OF acknowledgements ON THE TWO
CAUSES OF COMPLAINT.

SECRETARY SHERMAN TO THE HONEST MONEY
LEAGUE OF CHICAGO-CoMMENTs ON THE TWO
CAUSES OF COMPLAINT.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 10, 1879.
The following letter is made public:--
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON d. G., Jan. s, 1871
THOMAS M. NIcHoI.. Esq, Secretary Honest Money
League: Chicago:-
your letter of the 4th inst. enclosing copy or the
kindly resolution adopted at the meeting Of the
Honest Money League Of the I'd inst, for which
return my grateful thanks.
Resumption. long struggled for and emil
nently beneficial to all interests and all classes is
now secure.
CAUSES OF COMPLAINT.
There are but two points incident to resumption
about which notice complaint
. First-The non-payment of interest on the public
debt in gold coin at cities other than New York.
.Sccond-Criticsms of the distribution of the silver
dollar by this depart ment
To maintain specie payments the coin must be
kept in some central convenient depository, always
accessible The law fixes New York this place. 1t
is not reasonable, while we promptly redeem our
notes and pay the interest the public debt in New
York. that complaint should be made because the
coin is not scattered by being transported at
the will of creditors, at considerable cost to other
parts of the United States We must make no
and tho redemption of notes, but both should
be paid at the same place and in the
ination so much complained Of between the
noteholder and the bondhholder. hope, after some
preparation and lapse of time may be convenient to
positories in the United States and Will Geek to
bring about that result not matter OF legal duty
but tor the convenience of citizens.
SILVER
As to the other matter have clear conviction that
the forced payment of the silver dollar to public
creditors would tend TO deprecate it and it at
to be sold in the market ut less than par No
friend of the silver dollar should desire it to
be forced into circulation under such circumstances
This would open gap between the silver dollar and
United States notes that would tend to bring it
into discredit among people, while it is plainly
the policy of the law that 1t should be maintained at
par with United States notes. The department is
issuing the silver dollars. transporting them
free of charge wherever needed to all who wish them
in exchange for United States notes i'll payment
for services, and it is hoped that the whole
coinage may thus be put i'll circulation. While
it Is the duty of the government to coin different
kinds of money public policy dictates it should be
within the power OF the citizen at his option to de-
mand either form of lawful money.
1t is hoped that the friends of resumption will be
satisfied with the benefcent results already
pshed and will give the department reasonable for
bearance in the practical execution of its plans. If
those who have hitherto disagreed with us about
resumption may join with in applauding the
policy now being maintained Very respectfully yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.
