Tortunes falled to dlsturb her mental equilibe rium, which secma to havo been uaturally of a htigrfous tone. 8he did not loathe the squares and streets, nor did sho conjure wp vaewa speetres of despalr, nor weep out her pretty eves for very grief. On the contrary, she our- sued the far moro practical coursc of flllng a bl in court to properly establish her elaim upon the recrcant Rok, who appesrs to have been getting married to snother girl about this time, This done, sho sat herself down to write a poem, Lack ot space alono provents the publication of this production fu its cntire- tv, but the following stanza will convey to the readera faint ides of its glowing style, besides showinz the sentlinents of the bereaved wifo to- wards the husband in question: Tukllmug.'vnurplenm and woy **What lots of While I talk of my Evoy and how after him T rung 11ell you ho's worth havinz, Is such a man as Ko, Who danced a sallor's hornpipe when he hoard his. wife wan dead, Mrs. Roe had previously caused a notice of her deceaso to bo printed In the pavers for tho purposo of alluring her husband back to the town, which bis had sedulously avolded for someo time,~a device on her part which waa original ant resulted successfully, The overoyud Iton came home, sud, in legal parlance, was nab- bed.”’ There was, of couray, a trial, during which— 1turned to Enpr then, and sald, ** A compromis "I ket doctrine that the Almighty was eweeping tha people off the ecarth by thousands into Hel), like dend flles, was nbhorrent to him, and transformed tho Divine Being into n monster more horrible than Batan, and with equnl abhorrence he regarded the doe- trino that the saints in Heaven are so happy that they do not inind the torments of the damned in Hell. - In his own powerful lan- gunge: By the blood of Cumst, I de- nounce it; by the wounds in s side and Xis hands, I abhor it; by His gronna aud agony, I abhor and denounce it, ns the most hideous nightmaro of Theology.” Theso aro strong words, but in their very strongth and passion lies tho test of honest conviction, Mr, Bezcmen's bature is in. tensely emotional, and he could hardly give utternuce to a atatemont of thia charncter without making it highly dramintle and in- vesting it with an Indignation amounting nlmost to invective. Coming from such n man, it will creato feelings of pain in soma quarters, of surprise in othery, and of grati- {udo in still others. It will arouss very gon- ernl discussion, in which Mr, Bercuen will find Dbitter opponents and sturdy advoentes of his utterances. Some theolo- ginns, especially those wedded to dogma, will anathematize him, Others will come to his defenso, having such a distinguishod recodent for spenking out boldly tho con- iotions they have so long cherished in so- at. s most valuable sympathy will como rom.tho laity, and we fancy that in many a Church there will be fonnd a wide dis- cropancy betwoon pew nand pulpit, and in othors a refreshing ngreemont upon asubject thnt by asortof common econsent hias not been mentioned for a long time, Burprising na Mr, Breoues's position mny seem, ho is not without distinguishiod company. It is not long sinca that onv of the most eminent auons in the English Church preached ‘mon In Weatminster Abbey in which he opnly denounced Holl and tho Devil as fictjons invonted by Sr. Avousting, un. wolthy tho attontion of any thoughtful per- son, and nrged upon the Commission uow engoged in rovising tho translation of the Blbls to expunge all allusions to them from tho sacred lext, into which they had cropt through porversions of the origi- nal, It was only the other day that tho Indlan Orchard Congregational Council addrossed n testquostion to ninoty.six Congregational ministors of Weatern Massn. chusotts, asking them whether they preached the dootrine of tho endless punishment of sinnors and roquiring o categorical reply. More than onc-lnlf roplied in the negative, and many of the affirmative auswers woro couchied In ovastve terma, Were the oppor. tunity afforded to canvasa the nniversal cler- gy of this country, the result would wun- doubtedly be surprising to thoso who atill adhera to the cast-iron dogmas of Calvinism. Mr, Beeouen has bofore this hinted at his peculiar views, but never befors has enun- cinted them so boldly and definutly, Ha has now presented them so clearly aud squarely that they can be made an issue, and un. doubtedly there will be many who will thank him for so doing as cordinlly as the tired woman thanked the fat gentloman for expressiug her views so torsely oud emphutically with roferenco to the train they had both missed, Without takiug sides npon the question, Tur Cuicago TrinuNg is disposed to rojolce that tho issue lins beeu made, ond to Lope that the advo. cntes and opponeuts of Hell will settle the question of its existence beyond any tuture dispute. If there ba a Hoell, then it shonld be provon beyond question if there be not, then it is unjust to terrify people with it any longer, 1If thera be a Devil, presiding over o lake of Ars and brimstone, and roasting ¢t gpan-long infants” and full.grown gentle- men with the utmost impartinlity, let his idontity be established, I, on the other hand, the Devil be an fuvention of 8t Avausting a4 unreq! as the hobgoblin at whom Maurin Lurnes flung his fokstaud, or the mvention of any other salut with which to terrily credulous people, he should be made to suffor tho penaltics of iconoclasm. We know of no man better qualified to attack the doctrine of endless perdition, aud to stontly maintain that a man can find Hell upon earth, than Mr. Brzouxs, and we know of no nian better qualificd to uphold Ioll than Prof. ParroN, who' ropresents the extremo tencts of Calvinism, asit s now regarded, Roth e ablo mon. ‘The one is keen, analytical, 'sud incisivo ; the other emotlonal, sympa- thetio, and eloquent. Should they level lances, it would bo & contest botween head and heart, between dogma and personal in- tuitiop, between the fathers on the shelves 2nd the people on the stroots. Tux TrivuNe would therefore suggost that thesa two repro- sentative clergymen ought to mweet and sattle this question for the beneAt of many who are anxfous as to its merits.

Resumption of specio pay- menta by the Government. menns something more than the more quotation of greenbacks nt par. It means that the Government is prepared to maintain «pecio resumption by meeting the continued demnnds for coin for all greenbacks presented, The greenbacks number #366,000,000 and the bank notes $316,000,000,—the bank mnotes being re- deemable in greenbacks, and tho greonbacks redeemnble in gold. Practically the lognl resumption of specio paymonts means that there must be somewhero gold enough into which the holders mny oxchange this 2072,. 000,000 of paper money, ‘Tlat is what must bo provided when specie paymenta aro resumed, Tho Secretary of tho Treas. ury thioks that redemption of tho groenbacks up to a certain point will satis- fy tho demands, snd that then the paper money ¢an bo retssned in place of gold and redeemed ngain on demand. But that is stating too much on faith. Solong as itis known that there is gold enough to redeom the greonbacks, tho domand for redemption mny be comparatively amall ; but when 1t is known that there is only 31 In gold to ro- desm 86 of papor money, then the demand for the gold will bo lively, It i well known by loug experienco that specie payments cannot bo maintained in any conntry whor, the amount of coin is less than tha amoun of paper to be redeemod. The Bank of Franco will resume spocie paymenta on the 18t of Janunry next, havig in her vaults moro than sufliciont coin with which to re. deem oll her outstanding notes, and with sovoral handred othor millions of dollam of coin held in the country, Thero specie pay- ments onco resumed can bo maintained. Thoe momont the Government begins to redoem its notes 1n coln, bank notes must bo subject to redemption on the same terms, No man will carry bank notes unloss ha ecan got groonbacks or gold for them., Up to' Jan. 1, 1879, * carrency ™ will be tho agent of exchange, DBank accounts aud loans will Lo kopt on a currency basis antil that time. Then all bank nccounts, commercial and sav- ings deposits, will coaso to bo keptas * cur- roncy," but will becomo gold, The man having $1,000 in bank will domand tho greenbacks therefor, that he may obtain gold, and have nspeoial gold deposit. Bpecls pay- monts having been resumed, e has no no- tion of golug bock to *' curronocy ® any more. The nntional, private, and ssvings banks will on that day owe their depositora the sum of theirdepositsnot in currency butingold, Each depositor may demand that ho may bo paid in groenbacks redeomable in gold, or in the gold itsclf, and may Insist that thereafter Lis sccount shall bo kept ingold, If the gold necessary for wmaintalning specie paymonts wors in the country, then the differcnco be- tween the current valuo of pnper and of gold might judicate how near the resump- tion of spocie paymenta was at hand. Thae amount of gold necossary to meot the gold wants of tho country, and the swount of gold necessary to resume and maintaln specie | paymonts, rest on quite difforent circum- stances. During the last three years wo Liave exported largely in excoss of thu value of onr imports, A large balance of trade in our favor hus reversed Lhe lino of exchangos wlich for several years previous had carried off all gold. We have use for gold to pay dutiea and to purclhiase exohange on Europe. The excoss of exports Las made gold ex- chauga so plenty and cheap that it is selling as low as 102} for greenbacks. This, how- ever, i8 subject to a change st any moment. Bountiful barvests, sclling abroad at war prices, have glven us larger balances than usunl under ordinary olrcumstances. A peaco in Europe, large crops in the grain-growing districts, or nny other cause leading to a dy- cline in our exporta, would, by muking gold exchauge scarce and dear, earry gold up to 110. 'fhere is nothing in the condition of tho Treasury in the way of proparution for specio rosuwption to indicate why gold should not scll st 110 48 woll as at 102, The Becretary of the 'rensury confeasedly can- not resumne specis paymonts in gold to-day, and, 8o long as he keeps silver demionetized, - bia chauce of borrowing two or three hun. dred milliona of dollars of gold upon a 4 per cent bond is so wretchedly slim that spacio resumption & year heuco {s apparently as hopeless as it is now, Bpecle resumption is not the mere redomp- tion of the ‘I'reasury notes in gold; it meoaus the ruvolution of credits ; it means the ex. tinction of * currency ” thenceforth as a matter of account ; it means the purchase and salo exclusive in coin values ; it means the payment of all bank checks, notes, ds. posits, and all debts in gold or its equivalent ; it wmeaus, theuceforwnrd, gold contracts. Greenbacks may bo a legal-tender, and will clreulate st par only 5o Jong s thoy shall be redeemable on dewand fu gold. Bpecie re. sumption in gold means not only the shrivkage of the 2§ per cent which now seewingly soparate tho relative valuo of paper and gold, but it means the further aud general shrinkage of value of all prop- erty incidental to the paywent of six to eight thousand millions of dollars of debts, public and private, with the cue or Montoe strrer, corier ot Denrborn, Eogagement of | Dunaly opiuion jn regard to the sunepti- D35 Fiarking.. sk tions mannor in which the bill demonetizing Colisenm Novelty Thestre, silver wns stolen through Congress.
