A GOOD PETITION.

The following is the petition Of the
New York Bullion Club to Congress,
presented to the Senate few days
ago by Mr.. Conkling:
"Your petitioners, the Bullion Club,
an association representing SO vital
an industrial interest Of the country
as its production Of the money metals,
would respectfully but urgently rep
resent to your honorable body that,
under the present monetary system,
there is moi, and cannot be, general
practical use Of specie money in the
country, such as was contemplated by
the trainers Of the Constitution Of the
United States. Under our present
system, wholly reversing the practice
Of such commercial nations as Great
Britain, France and Germany, who
are not producers Of the money met
ais, we, who are the chief producers
Of gold and silver in the world, virtu-
ally coin all the gold we produce, to-
gether with that which we import, in
to pieces Of the denomination Of $40,
wholly nnsuited for tho currency pur-
poses Of the people, and forcing the
vast retail transactions Of our country
to be carried on necessarily in paper
money Gin part not legal tender, the
national bank notes and the other
part Of disputed legal tcndership), of
the denominations Of 81, 50, $5 and
$40 bills. Therefore, your petitioners
would respectfully urge upon your
honorable body the necessity for re-
stricting from further circulation, all
emissions Of paper money below the
denomination OF $40, with such coic-
age Of gold and silver hereafter at the
several mints of the United States,
that III lieu of the withdrawn IS and
$40 bills, a gold coinage of those de-
nominations with quarter eagles, may
get into circulation and silver money
take tie place recognized for it in the
constitution. The time, as your Pc
titioners believe, is propitious for wise
Legislation on this subject. In addi-
ton to the large amount Of gold and
silver in the country on the LIST Of Jan
uary last, when resumption took place,
we have since produced nearly $780,
000,0 of gold and silver and have
imported from Europe about the same
amount. This sum of bullion has, SO
far, not been utilized in our currency,
but lies, under our system, necessarily
inert III the Treasury vaults, in banks
and III private safe deposit companies.
We do not wish to express any opin-
ion touching the desirability Of ex-
paIding on contracting the paper cur
rency OF the country, nor have we any
issue to make as to the wisdom or pol
icy Of retaining the legal tender pow
er Of the so,ealled greenbacks; but if
it is possible to induce the national
banks to hold their reserves in coin
instead Of in Treasury notes, and in
addition to withdraw the small bills,
we hope that Congress, in its wisdom,
will so legislate and thus give our peo-
pie an opportunity to have specie
currency, for which the mines of the
country are annually supplying an
abundance Of the money metals

OF our village, goodly number Of our
citizens were present. The name Of DR..
Wallace with many, especially Of the
older citizens, is a household word. The
remains were allowed 10 be viewed once
more by the many friends. A tender,
touching, impressive prayer was offered
by the pastor-Rev McGihert-in charge
a beautiful and appropriate piece Of mu.
SIC was furnished by the male uuartette
singers in attendance, who, with two
others, Ofliciated as bearers. In due time
all in memory Of the deceased was done
