_ DOLLARS AND CENTS. Ur. Edward Atkinson’s Address to the Boston | Froe Trade Club. RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS i ‘The Power with President Hayes to Resume in 1879. Bostoy, March 8, 1877. Mr, Edward Atkinson, the distinguished writer on fivance of this city, and a gentleman who has probably given more thoughtful attention to American finances | than almost any man in the country, delivered an ith- portant and interesting address betore the Boston Free Trade Club this evening. His speech was, in brief, a suggestive argument looking to a general and sarly resumption of specie payments with the least possible interference wiih the business of the country, and the ideas which be so clearly and elaborately ad- vanced will undoubtedly attract ihe attention and careful consideration of the entire business com- munity, The subject upon which Mr, Atkinson dis- courses is, indood, so timely that I submita full re- poet for the Iixxatp. THK ISSUK OF LEGAL TENDER NOTES. Mr. Atkinson, in the beginning of his argument, tlagmed that, as matter of fact as well as of Jaw, it lies in the power of the Executive to restore the specie standard of value at once in such manner as to receivo the hearty and earnest support of the solvent business couamunity. It ts not intended to say that a specific Yate can be fixed on which the business of the country shall bo on a specie basis; bat the Executive van re- move the only obstacle thereto so that it shall be abso- \utely: certain that specie payment will presently re- sstublish itself ander the normal action of the laws of wade. It is quite Important to make this distinction between restoring the specie standard and ro- lishingsspecio payment very plain, [ties in the power ‘ol the Exxecutive to restore the specie standard by an act which will bring the United States notes to par in 4, and specie payments will follow because it 1s the normal und profitable condition, The work of tho government is very simple, It obstructed specio payment by forcing the legal tender vote into use; it can now withdraw the obstacle by ceasing to use these gotes in ite own work, and by giving all persons who te pot wish to use the notes the opportunity to sur- render taem. It can thus restore the specie standard, and then specie payment will take care of itself, but the exactdase will devermine itself. COMMON SENSE AND BUSINESS, In the consideration of this question Mr. Atkinson remarked thaa he was not a lawyer, and ho therefore pverlooked some of the provisions of the statutes, and slaimed to apply common sense und business principles yo determining the intent and meaning of the statutes | the ac nder notes, respectiully sub- |! in regard to the legut mitting that if ¢ven there may be some provisions in Mhe statutes, passed since the epactine’ Tender acts, which might, by a very rigid constru tion, be construed adverecly to the method that he now proposes, at will be fit to give weight to the original provisions of the original ucts, as of the esse: of the cuptract between the government and the holders of the nowes, and, (erefore, stilt binding upon the executive deparcinet ch Of the three Legal Teuder acts authowized au issue of United States notes, and, by a proviso, enforced their use as lawful money, In the act of Febeuary % it is Stipulated (hat EN: tuo notes then lssaed faay be redeewod or fuaded In UlVS US SPECIE PAYMENTS JANUARY 1, 1879, five-twenty six per cent bonds, and the ouly provision It Jollows that the resumption 18 not imperfect or for a retssue of any of the uotes is hmited, not ouly to | adequate. It fixes uw dute beyond = which | the tine which the “exigencies of the public interest |*8Peeie payment shall not be deterred.

This clause Was necessary to the paramount purpose of making aw forced loan, and was coasidered at the time a porary meusure, to add the clause permittimy a reiesue of the noies funded under certain condations only; but in the inter- val betwoen sessions of Cougress agd in the absence of any lawiul method of reissuing a note which bad been paid in for taxes the Treasury might have been em- bDarrassed, hence the authority to reissue those con- verted into bonds, ‘THe RRISHUED NOTE Mr. Atkinson then conswered at some length the question of, “is a reissued-note a legal tender?” and says that its reissue js unlawful and unwarranted by | the terms of the original act, and quotes some of the provisions of the act of 1862-3, and then makes the inquiry :-— HOW TO RENDER THE EXISTING NOTES PAR WITH GOLD. lt may well be here :udicated that under the National Bunking act vavk notes may be used im liquidation ot taxes as well as United Stuaes notes; and if the order should be issued to-morrow that every United States note paid into the Treasury for taxes should be deemed | ments have been functus officio and not be reissued it does not follow thera | month, and 130 j every | taxes in | were able to furnish the requisite certificate, would be « necessary contraction of the curren man would choose Whether or not to pay hi bank noves or Cuited Stases notes. Becessity ensue that this very f to retain and cancel would Bui it would of cause a tendency withhold the United States notes trom the Treasury om | Jarge manulactot the part of banks to strengthe the part of individuals who might wish to avail them welves of the present discount upon them in the pay- tuent of debts, With such hoarding or withholding of United States notes for such special uses would they not appreciate in value and speedily come 1o par? Furthermore, such order of the bxe jesue a United States note would be the ied irom time to time as the exigencies of the | | public interest, ?? It was, therciore, a wise provision | meuts who bavo not received fourteen we | tof the Legal ; will bring about specie payment in such a quiet and,or- { | { } ut 1 | | sued, or their substitutes, | as coin, at their par value, in payment of | that way be hereatter sold or negotiated by the Secre- revonue—and in ten years, from June 30, 1866, toJune 30, 1876, it has received over $1,794,000,000 im actual coin, of which vver $500,000,000 constituted surplus revenue, and this surplus has been applied to the re- duction of the public debt, Surely 1+ may be said that ‘the exigency of the public interest” does not require the reissue of legal tender noles when such have ‘the tacts, Even it the public soterest may have made it expedient for the Executive to delay the order not to reissue the United States notes until the discount on them bad disappeared, it may now be #0 ordered witbout harm even to any solvent priv interest, Gold corn 18 accum ng in the vaults of the govern- ment aad of the banks, where it is pow a burd bat 41 the confidence of the people ensuing from the order not te reissue sbould carry the notes to par in gold this dead burden would become at once current money. Furthermore, may it not be bejd that the change of the word “interest’’ to ‘service’? in the Inst act has lered it imperatively the duty of the Executive to to reissue the notes when there has been in ten years a surplus coin revenue not required by the pub- | he service far greater than the whole sui of the notes outsianding f THE RESUMPTION ACT. Relerence may be bad to thi callea Resumption act of 1875, but it should have provided that until January 1, 1879, there shall be not less than $300,000, 000 of these United States notes kept in use, and that then | the whole sum stail be paid in coin; but there is nu | such-stipulation in the act. It provides that the Sec- retary of the Treasury may fund the excess of notes above $300,000,000—a8 bunk notes aro issued by new banks, and’ may continue that particular method of | redemption unul the whole sum of the notes outstand- ing is reduced to $300,000,000—und ‘no more,’ but it nowhere provides that by other methods than fund. ing, such as the disuse of the notes hore proposed, the amount outstanding shail not be reduced to a less bum than $300,000, 000 before January 1, 1879. On the con- trary, so far from the Resumption act preventing the Executive taking the proposed action, does 1t not ren- der the duty yet more tmporative, because, while prom. ising payment of the whole sum of the notes outstand- ing In coin on the 1st of Junuary, 1579, it has provided no how method of preparauion ior such payment? Hence the Executive must avail itself of the right to sell four and one-bait per cent bouds, now xbove par 1m gold, and in such other ways as oxisting laws per- mit render it cortain that on the 1st of January, 1579, there shail be outstanding no moro legal tender notes | than can then be easily pa Can this end ve accom. plished in any way so easily as by ordering that the h tbe people voluntarily pay ito the ‘Treasury ive taxes shall not be reissued ? THN WAY CLEAR YOR PRESIDENT HAYES, Neither are the sections of the Revised Statutes bearing on the question any-ovstucle to the proposed action of the Exccuuve, Section 3,579 permits tho re issue of notes only as long as the exigency at the pub- | lic service requires, Section 3,582 suspends the power | of the Secrowry to retire and cancel the notes, but tho | clause of the act of 1862, by which it was provider that the notes issued under that act ‘shall be received in payment of any loans that may be hereatter sold or negotiated,’? wag not revised and has not been re- pealed, Under the acts of 1563 notes of that datc have been to a great extent substituted for votes of 1862, bit even by tho act of 1863 1 was only ‘attempted iake from the holds ers the right to fund them in five-twenty | bonds; it did aot repeal the clause of tho act of 1862 by which the Secretary was empowered to receive them. Hence the substitution of notes of 1860 may still be received for any bond now authorized 10 be issued, It may follow that the Executive has power now to well four aud a nal! per cent bonds at a price not less than par in gold; that legal tender notes may how be received for them, and need not and cannot bo reissued, becuuse the exigency of the public service | does not require it, and because there would be no use for the notes thus paid in, Itis theretore held thay the executive department may now, in accordance with the intent and meaning of the framers of the Legal Tender acts, cause United States notes to cense } to be depreciated without further legisiation, Mr. Atkinson then rephes to m6 critics, quoting clauses of the acts to provide tor specie payments, and concludes us follow: PREPARATION BY MEANS OF REDEMPTION. Is it not true that preparation for specie payment by | umulation of a great stock of gold, to be let out ss Jannary 1, 1879, will do miscnie! both in the paravion and conclusion? 16 it not also true that to | pr preparation by meaus of redempuon from time to time | | det ance?

WORK AMONG THR RUINS—EXGAVATING THE BAFES~-RETICENCE CONCERNING THE EN- ORMOUS LOSSES—AN APPROXIMATED LIST, A busy day passed yesterday at the scene of the great Bond street fire. Although the fire was alinost entirely extinguished by early morning some portions otthe ruins were still smouldering. Tho ruins pre- sented much the same appearance as when the walls fell, but the streets were partly cleared, and the débris that had covered the sidewalks was carted away. At an early hour men went dowa into the ruins and com- menced the work of gettiug out the safes. Thore aro | How the Sheriff Saved the Judge from | vers Probably between thirty and torty sates, of all kinds and sizes, in the ruins, and but seven were recovered yesterday. The inass of iron twisted into every concotvable shape and the piles of still smoking bricks afford but little chance as yet for suc- cesstul work, Two streams of water were constantly poured on the ruins yesterday. The police attempled to keep Bond street closed, but, notwithstanding evory Precaution, large numbers of people visited the spot, whue others Dot so fortunate stood on Broadway and gazed for hours on the black walls and the smoking engines, THe CAUSE OF THE FIRK, Numerous theories are oavanced as to the causo of the fire, but it is generally conceded that the most probable theory is that 1t originated with the furnace. ‘The building was regarded as fireproof, bus, like many other “flreproot” buildings, it presented an outside appearance of solidity and safety that compared most unfavorably with the construction of the suterior. While the walls and sront were of solid 1ron and stone, the floors were of light pine wood, and, at the roar of tho building a large flue ran from the botiom to tho — top. ‘Through this flue the flumes mounted to the top of the house | and the fireproof walls stood sately, defying the ellurts of tho firemen to getin, until every support wan re- moved, when they fell with a erash, Another theory advanced is that of spontancous combuaiion, Lt i Stated Lhat in the basement Was a quantity of hay use ia packing, and thrown near tuis bay was. som cotton waste used im oiling the ongine, The waste, it ie argued, becamo ignited, the hay caught and the contlagration followed, Another theory, and ono seriously considered by the Fire Murshal, 1s that of a detective steam pipe. i SAVING THE SAFES, At carly dawn the employés of the various safe man- ufacturing companies Were on band and propared for ahard day’s work. Daring the previous evening one of Marvin’s wagons was placed inéposition in the alloy~ way atthe rear of the rims, and as soon as daylight appeared the men descended to the debris and com- meuced to uncover the sales. One sale weighing five tons was soon unearthed and a strong iron chain was placed around it, Then the pulley was attacned to the second story window of the remaining walls, and tetly the linmense safe was hoisted to the strect, jaborers continued their work and soon un- eurthed apother ec, This weighed two and a pall tons, and by nightiall was satoly placed on tho wazon, Tho two were then sent to the tac- tory in Thirty-seveuth street aod Kighth avenue. Both ‘sales belonged to Robbins & Appleton, and they con- fain wlarge amount ol valuable goods, Another safe was brought up on the Bund street side of the butd- ing. ‘This was the property of Carter, Howkins & Slowu, und it was easily opened with a key, Lis con- tents, which consisted of the books, ledgers, belonging to the firm, were ound tn good condition, On Bond street two large derricks were erected near the edge of tho ruims, and about titty persons were engaged in excavating the sacs. The rums were still very het, but the two streams irom an eugine kept the surface cool, Herring's men soon found two large safes belonging to Baldwin, Sexton & Peterson and one belongiug to Taylor Brothers, The wholo day was occupied in landing | these saies on the street and taking them thence to the wagons, At six o’clock one of Terwilliger’s sates was ound and removed near the sidewalk, ready for hoisting this morning. The process of excavating aud hoistiug the sates was witnessed by thousands of perfon-, aud the police had great difficulty in keeping the space around the fire Iree from intrusion, THX LOSSES, It tg ulmost impossible, even at this hour, owing to the extreme and unecessary reticence of tho owners, to present an absolutely correct list of the losses und It is. certain, however, that the aggregite Joss is immense, as 1.18 believed that the safes wlone contained over $1,000,000 worth of stock.

Tho, dreaming pugilist made no response to this noisy summons save the shrug of the shoulders and tho turning over to another nap. Then tho Night Warden shook the door again and spoke through the gridiron frame “Get up, Joo! you must go to Sing Sing.” Coburn struggled to his feet like a man dazed, struck out wildly at some imaginative enemy who had been at his drowsy, throat, and answered :— “No; tney’ro pot a-goin’ to take me yes; I ain't off this morning;” saying this much ho wont to bed again nnd foil asleep. A keeper next essayed tho task of rousing the prisoner, Wheu he cuine (o his leet for the second time he had all of nis fuculties about him and cuew thoroughly the purposo of the early visit, For &@ moment he was utterly beside himself with astonishment, Ho could not believe in the heartiessnoss of the Sherifl’s office which was rushing him away from Now York so speedily, Ten to one he had been dreaming of a new trial, and it he had it requires no pressuro in writing to show bow rudo the awakening must have been, As soon as he was thoroughly awake he asked for a morning paper, and turning eagerly to his case suught to see in the an- count some authority which would interfere with the summary disposition of bis person, All the narratives were non-committal, and there was no hope there, Ho crumpled the last sheet he read ju bis hand and tbrew it from hun, No APPETITE. While this amazement was going on Deputy Sheriff Burns, who bad come im advanco of Deputy Sheriff Mulhoiland for Mr. Coburn, stood to one side, As soon As an opportunity was offered, Mr. Burns, otherwise known in the past as “the King of Mackerelvillo,” ap- proached “Joo” and asked him if he would have any- thing to eat, Although it is tho vocation of Mr, Burns to take prisouers to Sing Sing his manner was particularly softened yosterday morning, a fact which was explained aiterward by bis s:ating that he had known Coburn: for twenty five years, and bad never knowa tim in all that ume to do a wrong act. ‘The pugilist said that be would oat; but when an ample breaklast of eggs, coffee, bread,’ beefstcak and other accesscries was brought bim his’ appetite failed hin He tried to sip bis coftes, but gave the contract up. Mr. Burns looked on sympathetically, not for- getting, however, with a regard for duty, to keep his eye upon hts watch, It was absolutely necessary to caich the filteen minutes past nine train. “LETTERS IN THE CANDLE.”? AS soon as Covurn bad lnished not eating bis vreaktast be took an epistolary fit and sat down to the composition of two letters. One was to his wife; tbe other to his triend **Nod*’ Mallaian, who has stuck by him during his incarceration thrdugh all those dubious circumstances represented vaguely by the phrase “thick and thin,” ‘hese letters were mailed, or disposed of at least. While the writing was being done a coach with Jobn Mulholland inside cumé raitijug into the yard of the jail. {nis seemed 1o rouse some dormant opposition ‘in Coburn, for he retreated to nis cell and began to paco it moodily, The keepers who stood about did not know exactly } What to make of it. Was there going tv bo trouve? Was there to be another act in the drama? After a lapse of time, which had been valiantly employed by Mr. Barns in ‘ascertaining precisely what the chances were of catching the train, Warden Quinn came upon the scene, saw it in a Moment and ordered tbe prisoner to be brought out. Coburn stepped into the corridor. | As ho did s0 he cast a look up and down the place which was as swift as it was despuring. Lt saw and expressed that there Were no iriends on hand; no “backers;"? none of “the boys;’’ that Justice was having it all ite own Way in the quict of the morning. Wheu this fact was thoroughly underetood, when the last spark of opposition diod in tho heaving breast ot the pugilist, he became as submissive as a child, HANDCUFEKD TO “PADDY”? BURNS. Mr, Mulbollaud approached the famous prisoner and made the bauacuff motion. Without a murmur Co- burn extended bis right band, which was speedily linked to the left arm of Mr. Burus—the friends of twenty-ive years’ stunding being at last united with ‘hooks of sieel.”” When this neat operation was per- formed Coburn waved bis free left hand to the group about him, pulled his slouch bat over bis eyes and signified his willingness to depart. Botore he started he took a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and blew a tragrant cloud of smoke into the unsavory phere of the corridor. This done, the limi! procession moved to the carriage that bad been sta: ing at the door of the corridor, With the exception of the early attendants 01 the place and one or two curi- ous “icn daysers,”” awakened by the noise of the coach, there was no one ustir, outside of the officers, to bid “Joe”? goodby. As 600n ns he got im tho coach, he and Burns occupying the rear seat, he tell back in the corner, and relapsed into & moody silence, pulling at his cigar ali the while, AN UNEXIECTED ESCORT. As Mr. Coburn’s coach essayed (0 pass through the carriage exit of the Tombs one of the wheeis became struction. ‘fhe balt was only a momentary one, but it was suflictently long to attract the attention of a swarm of gamins who had crawled out into tho early suusbine. They clustered about the carriage at once, knowing that there was sometoing strange about Vebicle issuing from the Tombs, ‘Just look at the kids,” said *‘Joe,” as he puffed at his e was, In truth, a regular mob of them, one clitobing upon the step of the carriage, peering ino the juterior, and shouting to his ragamuflia iriend “1 gay, feliers, it’s Joe!” Coburn laughed and said, ‘They ali kuow me.’ Then ho leaned out of the window, and shook his berated afver him, The coach was driven rapidly up Elm street to Caval, up Cunal street to the Bowery, up the Bowery to Fourth avenue, and thence to the depot. During the ride Copurn indulged in no speetic conversation other He spoke ol his stay of proceedings, and frequently expressed himself us bemg of the opmion that he had beew “used rough”? Calm retlecuon bad induced | han to believe that it was “all a pat ap job.” Re. | marks that he made ba: | Wiluains were notof the most complimentary nature.

Mallaha was the second, Mr, Cummins did the usual cons quential busi and added immensely to the it | pressiveness of the scene, Little delay was had in getting to the car; but, mull as the delay was and quict us Were the movements of the party, all of 1 did | nut suffice to prevent the jact of Coburn’s presen | being ‘known, Jt flew from engineer to beuke- man, from braks conductor, and wh | the ‘iran’ moved out tue depot the very | pr package boy ki Covuru’s duhts vy heart, ‘Lhe natural consequence was that Coburn re- 4 what is known on the line us “the grand siare,”? touk it bravely, and rather seemed to like i.

MAD HOUSE ABUSES, THE ALLEGED HEARTLESS TREATMENT OF OC- TAVIA WALTER AT THE FLATBUSH LUNATIC ASYLUM—AN INVESTIGATION BEGUN, Not loug ago complaint was mado by the friends of Ovvia Walter, for some time an inmate of tho Fiat bush Lunatic Asylum, of the manner of ber treat- inent there, to which is mainly attributed the tines that resulted in her death shortly alter her removal from the institution, The complaint, which, at the time it was made, wus published in the New York and Brooklyn papers, charged cither gross neglect or soino- thing worse. Olivia, whose tamily is related to ex- Sherif Walter, of Brooklyn, had been an unbecilo from childhood and had been taken care of by her relatives prior to her couflnement in tho Flatbush Asylum, commencing last April.

Occasional yisits were made to the place by her rela- tives, and on all auch occasions it is said she was found iu a condition indicating harsh and unioeling treat. ment, Her triends generally tound ber strapped to a bench in the hal) when they called, noticed bruisos and gores upon her face and body aud saw that sho was wasting away in body us if from hunger and abuse, When drst incarcerated Olivia was in a good physical condition, sound and beaithy in appearance, although @ rather helpiess nbeciie; but when her brotner finally concluded to remove her trom the place she had to be borne in the urms of hor friends .o a carriuge.
