VIESNA'S POLITICAL ORGANTZATION. AsIstated on s férmer occasion, the whale “city of Vienna—tlie present circumferenco of which would be about twenty miles, without connting in the numerous suburbs, called Vororfe—is subdivided into nine Circuits, or Districts (Bezirke). Each one of these Cir- cnits is governed by a Doard. of Trustees, called Bezirksausschuss, and a Bezirksborstand, or President of the Circuit. This President and Board possess, to & very great cxtent, Executive powers in-all mattors pertaining to thoir. re- spoctive Cizenits, independent of tho City” Goy- ermment, although, in most cases, they are con- gidered as the deputed Executive officers of the Commune. Each Cirenit has within itsown limits 8 Gemeindchaus (Town-House). Theso are gen- erally substantial and finely-built etructures, containing in them tho offices of the soveral members of tho Board of Trustecs of the Bezirksborstand, Justico of tho Peace for that particular Circuit ; also the rooms for the city police, firemen and engines sot spart for that Circuit ; and all business, whothor in connection with the streets, water or gas-pipes, of that par- tioalar Circuit, or with individuals living under its jurisdiction, has to paes through some ‘branch of this Town-House, no matter whence jt may come. - THE GESERAL CITY GOVERNMENT of Vienna is represented by a Board of Alder- men called Gemeinderath, and a Mayor (Burger- ‘mgister), who is electod, not by tho peoplo di- rect, but by the Board of Aldermen. This Board has power, under the statutes of the Btato, o enact ordinances, pass orders 1n rogard to asscesments and taxes, and rogulato the affairs of the Commune. The Mayor is the pre- &iding officer of the Board, and, 28 with us, pos- gesacs the voto power on ordinances, but not on sesolutions. THE ITY FATHERS ©of the Commune of Vienna are elected accord- ing to fhe old law of 1819, wlich were, in those days of infancy of Austrian Lib- eralism, considered good enough. But now, the'progressive idcas of the Vienna people, and their yearning for s larger scope of politi tivity, causes them to be dissatisfied with those old electoral laws. By the present electoral law, the City Fathers aro aloctod by each Circuit, ac- cording to its population. A very high census is taken a5 the basis. The vote is not cast direct Dy the people, nor is every resident, no matter how Dllfa one he may be, entitled to vote for municipal officers. Only the so-called” Electora Wahler) may vote, and this is theway itis e s evary Elector belongs to.8 cer- tain Eloctoral body ( Wahikorper), sccording to his standing and the class “he belongs to. The amount of taxos an Elector avs determines to which electoral body he does ng. There sre three of these lntter. The Isndlord, or house-owner, who pays hundreds of florins of annual taxes into tho Treasury, bo- Jongs to an electoral body that, in proportion to its numbers, is entitled tg more votes than the one that is mademp of elcctors whose snnual taxes emonnt to only 10 floring, It is thus ibat the rich and the house-proprictors aro Tmore numerously xfl{rfismtc(} m the poorer Classes. As to the laboring classes, they have no vote &t all,: for very few -of ibem psy an oanual -tax of 10 florins, snd that is the minimum cmount that entitles “one to be_sn clector, Only about two ‘weeks g0, the Liberal portion of the City Council mado an effort to, have the Nieder Ocstreichische Zandlag (the Legislature of Lower Austria) ab- Togale this old Jaw, and replace it by a more lib- ‘ersl one, whoreby tho census should be mado Jower, and the minimum standard of taxes re- duced to 5 floring instesd of 10, and the three distinct electoral bodics united into one,—thus - making the elections more popular, and_having ~ the poorer classcs, such as mechanies and labor-- ers, lso repressnted in tho City Conucil. The ‘changa was, however, opposed very strongly, by the Government, as well as_tho Right, or Consersative party. The AMayor himaclf, althongh instructed by tho mnjority of the City Council to furthor the passago of tho ne'w measure, strongly opposed it in the . Zandtag, of which he is & membor from the city. while being Meyor. uch o thing is not an un- usual occurrence in Austria. Often men will hold geveral different offices, each one of which ‘may be clashing against the interests of the others. The Vienna people see now the ovil ef- - fects of this custom, and are clamorous for the immodiato Tesignation of the Mayor as their _ Chiof Magistrate, churging him with treason sgeinst the Communc, 'Tho party of tho Left and tho Extremo Left, who constitute the ma- mr_v of the: Council, threaten to resignina 7if tho Mayor refases to lay dovn his May- orlty. Tho excitement is running pretty high. The electors - bold _nightly meotings, and i may be possible thut tho Mayor will have to - give way to the popmlar ~lamor. Meanwhile, the Government has given {0 the Commune, 25 a quieting sop, the passage of alaw whereby Vienna's representation in the State Legislature is increasod, and wheroby she is enabled to effoct & new loaw of 63,000,000 of florins for city purposes. -~ THE EXECOTIVE OFFICERS of the Commune are cslled the Alagistral. It . consists of the Mayor, who is its presiding ofti- cer, end the heads of tho various scctions, atde- partments. Tho heads of tho. varions depart- ments are called Sectionsrarthe. The Sections- ~=rath is the Chairman of the Committes to whom,_ oll businesa connected or balonging to his de- partment is, in the Common Council, Teferred. - There aro: mo -Board of Pub- lic Works, Water and Gas Commissioners; but tho Chairman of ench Committeo is tho Exacu- tive ofticer of a particular department. 'He hag a0 office in the- City Hall, has mseistants and clerks, and draws a fixed salary ; while tho mere City Father nas to give Lis services, as in the - Tnited States, for nothing, and is-roundl sbased for it in the bargain. The Magistrat ini- tistes measurcs, but the Corumon Council haa to paes its judgment upon them before they are over has povwer to appoint all necessary city offi- cors, such aa architects, civil’ engineors, strast supérintendents and sweepers, chimney-sweeps, firemen, and fire-engineers, etc. . TEE POLICE DEPABTNENT, which stands under a separate Police Director- ship, is very efficient. The men, as a class, ara intelligent-looking, most of them haiug seen mlitary service. Though not s tall a setas the New York Broedway police, they are a great el morc polite and accommodating, and donob confine their kindly offices to ladies alons, but distribute them freely to all who may need them. ey aro very poorly paid.. The rankand filo receivo about a florin (50 cents) s day, The uni “orm—which consists of a dsri green frock-cdat and. pantaloons,. trimmed with stripes, of cloth —is . - furnished them. ey tary. gide-swords, but no revolvers, except —the mounted men, who do duty at the crossings ¢t the much-freovented streets. This mounted Sadarme will ta_o his position right in the middle of the street, and “sometimes for several bours he will stand there, like an- equestrian tatue, withont - himseif or horse moving a ‘. muscle. His chief watch is to prevent hoavily- * Iaden teams from entering any of the streets in- tended only for light velicles. The hoavytrafic baatobe done on the so-called Zasten-strdsse (Freight street), " that surrounds. the whole ¥ and leads to the. various ~freight-depots. It is thus that » stranger, who .only walks or drives about the Ringstrasse,or the othier atzeets of Vienns, and knows pothing of the asse, sees but verylitile of tho busi- Bess end traffic of the city. Tho Vienna pfice- ~ manis, as I gaid, very polite; and, if yo Strungar, have lost your wug, or wish to find a Certain street or number, all yon have to do ig to §0.0 the nearest policeman on the comer, snd e is bound to give you the in!amfiun,wpm- Yidpditisto be found within the noatly-bonnd sddross-book which he draws out of his side- pocket. _ THE ROLICE DIRECTORY, OFFICE. By this is meant, not the ofiico of tho Police Durectors, but the office whero a person may go st any timo during tho day, and find out the whereabouts of any person’or persons ho may seck, and whose address he cannot find in the City Diractory. This institution is well worthy of imitation in our large cities ot home, Its working is, au I will briefly illastrate, as follows ; Every stranger who arrives in Vienna finds his name recorded in the books of this Police Direc- tory twenty-four hours after his arrival. Thia is dono either by meaus of the hotel-keeper, if he lodges in s hotel, or else by his landlord, if . -ho iakes privato lodgings. Every landlord, or person eubletting apartments, is bound to report, by & so-called Aléldzetlel (card of announcement), tho arrival of any mnew lodger. This card of announcemont contains the lodger's name, age, religion, aud his last place of abode, whetner that was in the city or elsewhere. Now, this may look a little kike espioncge and Lomevhat arbiteary, but just see how it works : For instance, you come durin the Exposition to Vienna. You know that n goc many of your friends must be there, but can't toll where. You simply o to_tho Polico Direo- tory Office. Give in, on slip of paper, the names of thogo you seck, nnd o few miniites afierward the sought-for information is handed out to you through a little window, and you avo sure to fnd y_t:ur friends, unless they have already left the city. . THE SYEEPING AD SPRINKLING of Vienua is douo partly by the city, and partly Dy tho- Btate, through its roproscntative, the Staithalterei, or Governorship of Lower Austria. This arises from tho fact that many strects aro owned both by the city end the State. Icould nevar account for this mixed .anprintomhip unless it was that the Imperial Governmen wished to rotain certain vested rights, evenin the streots. This common_proprictorahip is, though, o great obstacle in tho way of ywaeping thoee stroets as they should be; for, whilo the city will have its side of tha stroet swept even twice a day in o thorough manner, the Arrar (as the State is dosignated), will not, sweep its side even onco in two days. The city omploya abant 800 men, ot salsriea varying from 1 florin to 13§ florins & day, to do the sweeping. Somo of the more prominent strects are awept twice a day, morning and afterncon, while others aro swept but once & du{, or once in threo or four days, according to location. Tho Hipfenger Strasse, whero the Common Council holds its session, is being constantly swept: not so, however, tho streets in the distant suburbs, whero the watch- ful'eye of tho Magisirat dces mot reach. The Bweeping, as I have stated, is dono by hand- labor (only two Belgian machines -are usod on the Ringstrasse), and daring the day, which fact causes o great deal of dust, and consequent an- noyance, to those who have to bein tho street. The Vienna laborer, unlike hie Parisian brother, is averso to night work. It costs the city more than a million of floring to- keep its part of the streets clean, ‘I'he sprinkling is done by means of a wagon having s big hegsbead on’ it, to which is at- tached s hose culminating in & tin sprinkler. A ‘man walks bohind fhe_cart, holding, by means of o rope, tho hose in tho hand, and Ewinging it to and fro, 50 s fo spurt tho water from sido- walk to sidewalk, on some of the narrower street. This thoy consider nu improvement over the old method of sprinkling-carts. Lot the uninitiated, however, boware of coming within ten yards of those improved sprinklens, if they do not wish to be soaked through to the skin. ~ The man with hose in his hand fires away to the right and left of him, entirely oblivious to those who have to pass him on either side of the sidewalks. THE CHARITAGLE INSTITUTIONS aro many in number. I haveno space to enu- merate them all here. Thoy have splendid Asy- Jums for the blind, decaf and dumb; = House of Rofuge for indigant old citizons ; while another immense institution of the same kind tskes in the indigont of- all classes, whothor _citizens or not. The Foundling House, ond the Lying-in Hospital aro also great_institutions, snd are largely pstronized and supported by the State. Not less noteworthy is the Xrivbe, a dsy home for small children Where parents are uneble to-tako care of them during the day whilo out at work, In the morn- ing, when the laboring-woman and mother goes to her work, she leaves her suckling or baby at the Kribbe, whero, for the nominal fes of 2 kreutzer (one penny) a day, it is woll cared for during the wholo day, and returned to its mother in the evening. Nurferies and Kindergarten ae connected with this commendsblo ivstitution, and nothing is lacking to meke theso _poor littls ones -cheerful snd happy, at least during the day time. Of course, thero are soveral Orphan_ Asylums, Asylums for tho In- Bane, Civil and Military Hospitals. Among Shose Inttor, tho General Hosphal (Allzemeing Krankenhais) has o world-wido reputation. It is a little villago in itself, inhabited by thousands of sick of all kinds. These sick balong to all creeds and countrics. Everybody, native or for- eigner, who is_able to psy from 8 florins & woek to 4 florins & day, according to tho lo- cation of the room end the sorvico Do wishes to Davo, i8 admitted. = Natives of the Austro-Hun- garisn Empire unable to pay anything are nover- theloss admitted, in which case their exponses aze charged to the city or town they are na- tives of, and collectedyearly through ths medium of the local tax-gatherer. The Hoepital has over 4,000 bods, and scrves 88 the Klnik for the University, and nesrly 2,000 medical students, coming from all parta of tho Globo, attend the daily Joctures of celebrated professors and doc- tors of medicine.and surgery. But Imust now leave tho Hospitel, asbout which I could ssy a great deal more, and will ssy somothing. in my Dext of ‘tho places whero Vienna docs her mer- keting, eats hor dinners, transacts hor business during the day, and spends her leisure-hours during tho evening. A S — FONETIKS N JAPAM. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Bm: Recent despatches indicate that the peo- “ple of Japan intend to discard their native lan- gusge and substitute the English-in its stead; and the question has erison as to what is the English langusgo,—vhether it is & langusge which is only Y forcible” when written, or whathor it is oqually * forciblo" when spoken ? Or; in other words, whotler the phonetic system illustrates the wholelanguage, or onlyspartof it; for Ido not suppose anybody will contend that it is not the proper system for a people like the Japanese, numbering from thirty to fifty mil- lions, probably, t6 adopt, if they serionaly in- tend to substituté tlo English language for their own, if it does truly represent the lan- gudge. For fear some will say 1t is not the cor- rect system, ‘even though complets, I may be permitted to stite one or two points in its favor which occur to me now after having given some thonght to tho matter. 3 Tho phonetic systom of reading and writing could be learned in, one-fifth of tho time that the present system can be pertially acquired, and in one-tenth the time in which it " can be mastered. Assoon s & porson learnsfo correctly pro- Tounce tho English Ianguage, and learns to resd and write the phonetic alphebet, his cducation is complote so far as the language” alone is con- cerned, and he may oven learnto pronounce without a master, after ho shall bave learned his A B Cs, by ‘Teading phonetic books and papers. Docs any man suppose that a people with'a language so different from ours s tho Japanese must bo, could ever sdopt our lan- guago. and got & correct pronunciation of it, and retain #, under the presont system ? It secms o' mo an -impossibility ; and, unless tho prop- osition_wore accompanied with one to adopt the phonetic style, we should all of us think, who think anything sbout it, that the idea originated in an Insane asylum. 5 ' Andrew J: Graham, in his Hand-Book of Phonography, has girens complete system of phonetic writing and printing, using a few char- actors, in sddition to our common. script and type, to express such sounds as the sounds of a o heard in the words far, faZ, af, etc., the short sounds of the other vowels, diphthongs, &c. ‘The letters each recéive their proper sound as ronounced, except there is no 0, no Q, ad no fi,—s, K, and Z taking theur places, Tho extra characters do not exceed a dozen, add by their use & word may be spelled exactly as itis pro- nounced. % Icould ssy s great deal more on that point, but I fear I shall be making this communication too long, and I will fio back to the first question, which 15 & to whother tho languago loses any- thing by s phonetic rcpresentation. Here I must eay that I think that a good idea often has cold water thrown upon it, 8o fo sy, by news- paper-writers who have a disposition to hita head wherever they ~eee it, right or wrong; snd something of that kind this ides must en- counter. There aro not wanting newspaper- writers by the score'who will think it a good joke to sneer at ‘‘ Fonetixin Japan,” when, if they know nnything of the * Fonetix™ aforesaid, their convictions are against what they write. ~ Sap- s0 wo take the termination ough.

Well, now, that is ““forcible,” but it is altogother too #forelbla” It scoma to me. if we conld 11 those words according to their sonnd, we should have s more “forciblo” language, and one that wo could at least spell, oursolves, which is not tha caso now.

It may bo said that different modes of spelling indicato tho different meanings of L\\'onfwhid\ eounds tho eame, a8, for instanco, sce and sea; but is there any such distinc- tion in speaking, and do we ever get con- fused abont tthese thingsin conversation ? There is no need of illustrations on ths point, for it is un answer to that argument to say that wo need no such distinction in conversation ; aad writing and printing are only a moans of repre- eentation of spoken words. ‘Iho guostion of anbtituting tho prosent eys- tem of phonographic short-hand writing is one that .may well engage the nitention of the Jepanese roformers, although it would not answer very well in print, becauso the characters aro too complicatod. But there would no dificulty what- ever in using it for writing; _ for tho correaponding stylo of phonographic short- hand is s exact in the reprosentation of the langungo as the present system of writing, and 2 great deal moro oxact than most peoplo’a’ chi- rog:;xslxy. I do not, of course, say this with regard to the verbatim roporter’s notes, for thoy aro usually Greek to all_but himself ; but even thero practice will enalle ono reporier to read another's notes very readily. DBECNNETT. Cx1c4G0, Jan, £0, 1875, ; —_—— PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE. Discussions ata Meeting of thie Massne chusetts Institute of Tecknologys-e An Incombustible Mansard JRoofee= IRichards? Fire-Escape and Xlose= Eievatorss=Fire-Proof FloOringess Fhenomena of the Boston Fire. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : S : Tho groat fire in Boston has thoroughly aroused tho citizons of that city o a senze of providing & means of security against & recur- renco of s disastor similar to that which bofel them in October last; and tho minds of scientific men have boen much eruployed of late to devise such means e sppear most practicable and efficient. At a meeting of tho Massachusctts Institute of Technology, it being the 150th meet- ing, and held in Boston Jan. 9,—H. Wild Faller in the Chair,—the subject of firea was thoroughly discusced, the discussion embrzcing many of the principal points fo be observed in tho construction of buildings, Mansard roofs included, with. reforence to their fire-proof qualities, and resistance against & epresding conflagration, providing ways and means of escapo from & burning building, to- gether with the best way to get water to the topa of high buildings. As many of tho suggostions offered appear to be of a clearly practical character, I copy from the report of tho proceedings of the meeting ro- forred to a few of the prominent features that wero presented, as they may possibly farnish some idoas that may be advantageously adopted in the rebuilding of our own ety : For the purpose of preventing the spread of fire from {m‘i’fdin to%nilding, the roof should be of incombustiblo matorial. We build solid granite or iron snd brick fronts and walla ; wo use iron floor-beams with brick archos for the lower stories, whero we can ‘most readily extinguish & fire; but wo surmount the whole, too high to bo reacked by water from tho most powerful engino, with & wood roof, ususlly s Mansard, and Turh:l. 8 two stories high. ‘Would it bo possible to lay o botter train for car- rying fire from one end of tho block to the oth- er, or more diflicult to reach in case of fire 7 pyApln of o Monsard roof was horo submitted . E. H. Hewins, which is simply an iron beingadupted frame,—tho trusses, purlines, ctc. to the size and position of the building, whother ot the end or in the middle of the block. The frame is covered with corrugated iron; the gutters, cornicos, and windows are entirely of fron and lass, and of any ornamental patfern that may be desired. Inside the iron frame, it is dosigned to attach wire-notting, on which is put the plaster,—making a room of the entirosize of the building, if desired, or with partitions of Lrick or iron. e thus have a roof. entirely of non-combustible material, and at but slightly, if any, incroased cost. 1t has tho same architoc- tural ornamentation and :Xect. Thore is destroyod yeariy some $200,000,000 by firo, and somewhat léss than half this is rep- resented by insurance loases ; but this amount 18 absolutely lost, and is_equivalent to 8o much labor spent in vein. Even though the country may bo able to sustain suchaloss, therocanbeno excuse for the nefiligence which gives the op- portunity for such destruction. ‘ ‘The very expensive fire-proof construction of Paris is the result of a law which compels a per- son to pay all tho dsmages resulting from a fire originating on his premises; nd, consequently, destructive fires there are unknown; even with the help of petroleum, Paris could not bo burned. Thia might not be policy. or justice here; but it is cqually unjust to allow o person to erecta tinder-box in the vicinity of a building repre- senting the earnings of a lifotime; and, if a modo of construction can be devised which shall give reasonable_sccurity at o mederato cost, its gopfion is the least that ehould be required by e " Mr. Richards, of Chicago exhibited & model of the fire-escape, or wire ladder, invented by him- self. Tho sides are made of wirc-ropo, 15 strands, of very great strength, and tho steps of flat bar-iron, On tho roof of the building to which it is_applied is o sbaft carrying o drum, around which the ladder is wound; suitable brakes enable the operator to regulste the veloc- ity of its descent, aud to arrcat it at any height ; the machinery which controls 1t is set i motion from an _ordinary fire-nlarm box, which may ba opened by tho koy of such boxes, and bo ren- dered immediately available. The laddor will de- scend by its own weight, 85 feet in one and one- helf minutes. The is only 15 inches in diameter, . and, when the lsdder is wourd up is' less than 2 foct in diameter ; the Iadder will pustain & weight of 9,000 pounds. " It may be made to doscend 1o 12 scconds. To pre- vent swimming, it i3 fastened to hooks at the bottom, sct into tlie sidewalle close to the build- inga. A rope, witha pulley, is_connected with tho ladder, by which hose maybe drawn up to any story the fireman desires, i8 s few soconds. - N. M. Lowe made a communication on - some phenomens exhibited by the late fire. At the time, thore was a light northwest wind, blow- ing sbout 6 miles en hour, and the fire bored ita way right in tho teoth of this wind, carrying with it & current of at lonst 25 miles an hour. The leeward or induced current in’ ‘this, s in all great 'fires whero ‘tho wind is moderate, greatly predominated “over the normal current, and the fire, strangely to many persons, went against the wind. The nor- ‘mal current, from his observations, was horizon- tal, and at 4 height of about 1,000 fect; at the same timo the induced current rushed in to sup- plythe vacaum created by the ascent of the heat- ed and rarefied air, with the above-mentioned velocity. In Chicago the great firo went With the wind, a8 this was_blowing a gale, at least 45 miles ap hour, and _was stronger. the indaced current. Another thing which carried the " flames across spaces which it seemod im- possible for fire to surmount was the faulty manner in which some of tho streets were laid out; for instanco, Arch sircet apene}@ ai“:fi ‘ade: Frasklin, Frenklin into Federal, Te into Milk, etc, agains ocks. of stores; theso a:lxkéaee, ! therefore, scted liko huge blowpipes to conduct the intensified flames sgainst the ofiwpnme houses, even across the dest part of Franklin streat, tho blast ponring into the_second-story windows with irrcsistible forco. - Had theso streets opened in & straight line through the opposite . blocks, this effect would not have been produced, and so wide g street as Franklin would probably have arrested tho fire in that direction. Wide-streets, there- fore, sre no_protection from fire, unless they open in one line from one side of s city to the other ; 8ir Ch:istopher Wren's London plan of radiatlng streets is, therefore, a bad one from this point of view, whila the plan of Philadelphia isagood one, Itis to be hoped that, in thelay~ ing out of new streets, none shall bo_allowed to terminato bruptly in s street at right angles, but that all, if possible, shall be extonded. through the city. * Afr Seaver exhibited gpeoimens of the Dennott fire-proo! flaoring. mads from bzoken bricks cee | mented with gypsum. This is cheap, very hard, and strong, requiring no machinery for its man- ufacture, and bardening to its maximum in five or six days, It hasbeen extensively used in the ublic baildings of England, and is beginning to o adoptod by the architots here. This will con fing a fire to the room in which it originates, and will, thereforo, bo & valuable addition to the means at our comniand for prevealing great con- flngm(ians. = onsiderable discussion took placo on the va- rious points euggosted b&:be&e communications; and, after appointing a Committee, consisting of Professors Ordway, Pickering, and Crafts, to itness certain experiments connacted with the extinguishing of fires, the meeting adjourned. Tho fire-oscape of ALr. Henry A. Richiards, of this city, referrcd to above, i8 gaining favorable notoricty for its simplicity and eficiency. It pussed & highly creditable exhibition in this city, last summor, before the National Board of Underwritors . assembled here in Convention. With tho sssistance of Fire Mar-~ shal Willisms, at & given signal, tho ladder and hose elevator was lowared from tho roof of the Hamlin & Hale building in lees than oue minute and one-half, alter which the hoso was clevated $o tho roof of the building b{ the Fire Departmont,—the firemen ascending the ladder on tlie gutside of tho building, reaching the roof in time to throw a stream of water from the hoze in lesa than threc minutes from tho time the hose elovator was atlached to the hose. E. Caicaco, Jan. 21, 1873, — HOW TO RESUWE SPECIE-PAYMENTS. 1o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Sm: After long and earnest attention to monetary and fiscal affairs, I have watched the advent of the *Shorman specie-payment-re- sumption bill” with great interest, and, after caroful consideration, think it pregnant with danger to our currency and mercantile systam. The fixing of a stated dsy to resumo, withont any limit, or without reference to our commerce or cxternal exchangeson that day, is fraught with disaster to our values, and to tho settle- “ment of our balances. The ides that but few notes will bo presonted at the Treasury for redomption in coin, will de- pend entirely whether Lullion-dealers can make a profit thereby ornot. If a profit can then be made, depend upon it the Treasury will be emptied of coin ero the drain is stopped. It will be useless to talk of patriotism or conve- nienco eo long as any foreign market will yield & profit on shipment. To fix o positive day to xeuumefi without referonce to othor circumstances, will bring such o disturbanco of values as will cortainly cul- minate in a crieis. That we ought to resume at the earliost practicable date, sli admit ; but this resumption shonld bo brought about by easy and natural ‘means, 8o that tho chasm batween coin and an irredcemable currency could be bridged over withont disturbance to our general busincss relations, I think this B;‘Xinplfll;hcsn be brought sbout as follows, viz.: rst—The Becrotary of the Treasury to stop selling gold. Sccond—Re- ceivo 30 per centof our customs revenue in greenbacks, and cancel thom; aud, at tho end of each month, lot the Secratary issuo a like amount of Treasury bills, date, in coin ; such ’heu\uz in one year from bills to bear 3 por cent interest from date, for ono year only. Thoae bills shonld bo issued by tho purchase of G per cent bonds, and should bo eligible for bank rosorves, as tho old 8 per cent certificates wore used. Third — When such Treasury bills mature, the Secrotary be empow- cred to preparogold logal-tender notes of not less than £25 sach,—and upwards, redecmablo at the Trensury in single notes in coin, but not receivable in large numbers for customs till all the greenbacks are rotired. The holder of ma- tured Treasury 3 per cent bills to have the op- tion of cither coin _or Treasury gold-notes in such proportions as dosired. 2 It should be obligatory on all National Banka to register tha receipt and paymont of such gold Treasury notes to and from arties, by name, All State and private bankers shonld also be ad- vised to register them, on the grounds of good policy and protection to thomselves snd their customers. uch a system would be a proven- tion of theft and crime in several cghuaa, since dotection would usnally follow such illegal pos- segsion, Practico has proved” that the gold preminm will not falt below 10 per cent, which I consider to arise from the antagonism betwoon coin and an irredesmablo currency. Theroe is no sympa- thy between them. Wo must creato such sym- yathy, and it cannot bo dono better than by iving greenbacks some of the work now done ¥ coin, and can best be done in the marner before indicated, We must get this irredcema- blo currency cat of the way era we can Lavo healthy monetary system. In the man- ner named, the grecnbacks would beretired in an casy and careful manner, causing no rapid die- turbance of values, nor disaster in our dealings. One of the firot effects would bo the fnlliug of the gold promium,, sinco its neod woul bo very much reducad, and the advent of tho undertaker to the Gold-Room would be among the expocted avents. Wao cannot oxpeot to get much sympathy from ‘bankers and doalers in- exchango in this move- ment, since a.large share of their profts results from the differenco between gold and currency. If 30 per cent of our customs were received in greenbacks, tho rmount to be issued cach ‘month in Treasury bills, redeemable a year from date, would amount, in found numbers, to about four millions of do] Hence it _would rotire annually about fifty millions of our irredeemable currency; and, as faxation is not to bo reduced, let us apply our surplus to reach epecie-pay- monts, In &n.rchuing 6 per contbonds with such Troasury bills, the operation must rosultin a profit to the Government, in addition to all other advantages. By this modewo could return grad- ually and surely to a sound monetary sysiem, combined with case and security. After gfll had been accumulatod in the country, it could be reccived et the Treesury, giving thorefor tho new gold registered notes, 'and the monthly quota of Treasury billa would be essily ro- deemed. There can be no question that the gold Troas- ury registerod notes would be oxceedingly popu- 1ar, giving the holders thereof security and port= ability. - Who would not rather carry such notes thon coin? 'Who would mot. rathor have such notes in regerves than coin? I bave no doubt the country would easily ab- gorb for all pi 08 one hundred and fifty mill- jons of ‘such notes,—a sum equal to more than ‘one-third " of our imedeema- blo currcncy of all kinds now in ocireu- lation! Probably, after the lapse of time, by tho retirement of greenbacks, and by the in- creased circulation of coigl the currency could Do retired even more rapidly than is hero stated; but legishuon could onsily find .meaus to such an end. = - % 1 have here given my views , on this question, and trust theso will suffice to bring thisimporten subject before our earnest thinkers, writers, and spoakers, and trust o solution will be arrived ot worthy of this intricato subjeot to tho benefit of our people and our common country. Youra very respectfully, 0AnoOLUS. U —_— —Dr. Fordyce Barker, one of the leading phy- sicians of Now Yark, charges the apothecarics of that city with tampering with prescriptions, by reducing the quantity of any expensive matarial in it, They also substitute some inert article for one they do not happen to have on hand,” It is alloged that drugs are greatiy adulterated before they ronch the retafler, and, if short allowance is added to this, the patient stands a poor chance, unloss the homeopathic theory of small doses is tho truc one. Dr. Barker alléges that, in three cages which camo under hie notice, this tamper- ing with prescriptions resulted badly, by occa- sioning delny in the reli¢f of dangerous sym) toms, As his practice is almost exclusively among the fashlonable classes of -society, it i presumablo that his preseriptions sro carried to the leading. dru&gms. 1If they are thus derelict, what must bo the practice of the smaller, ‘and apparently less responsible establishments? - —_— BOARDING AND LODGING. g West Side. 5 59() ,WEST, VAN BUREN-ST.—T0 RENT, WITI best of bosrd, an elegant parlor in & naw marble front bouse, with ail ‘modern Improremonts.
