?Secretary ?Sharman'a tnterriewa with lead!
bankers r? ?ult in a general uiider-iUinding tl
he may at any time b?vin to pay out coin f?>r t
ordinary obligations of the Government. Tl
?toarse has been ?repeatedly mentioned by Tl
Tumi m: as one of the most effective mea
he eoold use to promote resumption. It
?juite true, as Mr. Sherman says, that
will thus diminish the pr??s-ure for gold wi
which to pay ?ii-toiiis duties. Ina-iiiui'li
legal-tenders will continue to b?' paid Into t
Treasury lor taxes, ?o long as then
pieiniiini on gold lowever small, the rest
must ?be the virtual redemption of lei*;
tendera, and their withdrawal fmiu circu?
turn, to an amount equal to the coin pa?l 0
for ?ordinary expenses. Actual resumption b
gins whenever the Treasury pays out its <*<i
and takes in its pniiiii-.es.
?Secretary Sborman'a power, as we have ???>
?tantly insist? ?1, is ?ample and Indiapatabl
The law now* ?nates three kinds of mom
either of which is a legal-tender in paynic
of all dues except coin hot s ?and interc
tbereOB. There is not ?i line in ?any law whit
' restrain! the Beeretau from paying out ?go
| or silv?t crin in the discharge ol the ordinal
Indebtedness tot which notes are usual
paid. The ?Secretary ?an, therefore, ose h
own ?li-ii<lion H to the amount of coin or i
notes which he will ?pay oat within a gin
time, and he ?an thereby reg?late, as be mi
linil most expedient, the rapidity ?
redemtition. Until January l, this power i
?reg?late the rapidity of redemption will ?re?
exclusively with him ; uft'T that date, it wi
vest exclusively with note-hold-n ?to aaj bo
rapidly the notes -hall l??- presented tor p??
ment. Henos we have held it of impoi
tance that, prior to January 1, and while tli
Whole power yet lists with the Secretary, li
should so aas it that no notes whatever woiil
be presented for payment after Janaarj i. I
lie pavs ?nit gold so freely that nobody wanl
it in preference to notes, tin- premium wi
vanish, and the chance ol a large demand f?i
??>in ?after January i will l><- removed.
Heartily commending the adoption ?of a wit
course in this respOOt, WO ii'-vertheb-s-i BOggei
that the silver coin will be vastly BOM ii ?
ful in the Treasury than anywhere t-l.se, n
long as the present supply of small notes eon
tinues in eireulation. It will Im- found itn
possible, as it has been thus far, to keep an;
considerable amount ?if silvi-r coins in ?urn

Cons?quent ly, the coin will flow back to tin

that they are worth more than silvci. What
is needed is to prove that the Government n?

The B?ver will bo particularly useltil a.? a r<
serve, to be employed if any knot of sp? dila?
tors undertake to crowd the Treasury in Jan?
uary next. Until then, the leas used in ordi?
nary payments the better.
This, of course, is on the supposition that
tho Treasury still linds it inexpedient to with?
draw small notes from use. If a part of the
$1 and $2 bills can be quietly gathered in
and held by the Treasury in its balances,
there will be created some room for the use
of silver coius. In that case, payments of
??liver would bo of service if limited to the
amount of small notes thus withdrawn. The
public, however, will have increased coufideuce
iu the good judgment of the Secretary when
I he signalizes the complete success of
his plaus by beginning gold payments
and thus commencing actual redemption.
There will be little disposition to carp about
the details. He has done so much and so well
that the country will have little fear as to his
judgment in respect to further measures. He
knows that complete success is within his,
reach ; knows that his farue den-cud?. u|
known that speedy uianifest?t ion of s
will do more to strcn._-.licn the __*_M

rcusoii to doubt that he will use his best
nient to that end.

is abundantly qualilit 1 by legal attainumnts,
a ju?li?Lil habit of mind, and an unsullicil

was reeogni/ed by Governor Dix, who offered
Mr. I'ai-ins a seat in the Commission of Ap?
peals, which he did not, however, feel at lib?

will lie supported by many leading delegates
from that sei'tion of the State. Ib'publicans

'HO, AM) SIB RO MORI.:'
In the early part of last year, a young girl,
not yet lifteen, of decent but poor parentage,
was placed as servant in tho family of a
fanner living n?:ar New-York. The girl was
innocent and ignorant aha ha?i no mother at
; hand to protect her; the man was mercilessly
sensual. S?ill but a chihl, she found hers? If
about to become a mother. She could not
stay -Bufar where she was ; she durst not
carry her horrible shame home. In the wholo
citv-full no ?lecent boUSOWaS open to her; no
mother of a family, however kindly, OOUld
tike tiii.-? poor guilty child, with lui* disaster,
among her own children. The story is so com?
mon a one that il ?-?-eins ha? ka?:j?'?l to us all.
Hut think ol it I ininute?this young creature
who, with I mother-1- ?'are, might still have
been as innocent and gay as any little girl at
her mothers side to-day, is driven oat Into
?the ?road friendless and homeless, forted to bee
with her childish ?syoa a horror worse than
death. Phj ?deal pain, the terror of ?death, ab?
solute want, the child's ghole life to be
eared lor ihs not able to ?flare ?for herself?
?then wa? no element of misery wanting in
the weight that suddenly fell on her. The
man went on bis eomfoitable way untroubled.
Society bus not yet lound auv punishment for
In.-, common offence. But ?loeiety is not <piite
the brutal I vr i nt whii'h we are used to call it ;
th? re is a ?good ?deal oi Christ'- leaven at work
m tin- ?mus. Two or three good women, about
their Ifaater'a work, found thia homeli ?m,
hunted ?trestore ontaide and ?tooh ?her In, ?ted
her, nourished her, fare her motherly kind
. until lor tii.il ?was over and her child
was born. Sin- ha? a home with tilt in still,
?and when her ?babg is obi ?-nough for her to
have they will tii.il her iiroper work, ?keep B
watchful ears or? ?bar, ?watntfuw ?sad edaeate

t<? reclaim It.
We have givN mil. an isolate?! iti-tanc?-,
but our read? is will not find the ate
pathetic when they know that 130 poor ?srea*
torea in this girl's condition were ?received by
these ?good women ?luring last year in their
house?the New-York Infant Asylum, at
Sixty-first -t. ?and Tenth-aye. We arge tin-*

dren limb i ils tan aie foundlings and other
abandoned or orphan babies under ?two

?Several Improvements will commend them
