] There is a great deal of misappre•
hnesion and ignorance in regard to
th l ei resumption question. When the
; -
people fairly understand the matter,
opjosition to the measure will cease.
In ttet the strongest and most pro
telilt, argument id favor of pecie-re
suMption wilt be resumpti on itself.
The facts are so clearly stated in the
North..clmerican of last Saturday,
that' we copy the article for the bene
fit of our readers : "'Much of the
. conflict of opinion touching resump
tion arises from a misapprehension
of the fiscal situation before the ins
- penidon of specie payments. During
the late canvass the opponents of re
4umption continually -declared , that
t the idea of doing the immense bosi
nesl'of the country reitkepecie was
prepOsterous; that the entire sum in
coin at command could by no possi
ble nuinagement be kept 'anywhere
near. the aggregate demands of trade,
and much more tot the same effect.
Jo this it was replied, and must
again and again be replied, that do
ing business on the basis of intrinsic
values., and doing it with gold and
silver as a currency pulling from
band to hand, are things entirely dis
tinct, anal different. But for the most
part men haie i or seem to have for
gotton how business was transacted
eighteen years ago. Business was
thendone on the basis of i ititrinsin
values, but as a matter' of fact very
, little gold and silver passed from
hand to hand save as a convenience
of moderate 'exchange. Bills of ex
change, checks, drafts, and bank cred
its, performed the offices of honest
money then, as they had done for
centuries among civilized nations,
and as they continue, and- will con
tinue Ao -- do for all _time to come, in
all probability.
"It may 'be replied
i ,to this state=
meat that since paper is the chosen
medium of excliange - in large trans
, aetions, that is sufficient reason why
the theories of anti-resumptionists
should prevail. But the theory
of anti-resumptionists involves irre
deemable paper currency, which is
k quite a different thing. A bill of ex
change, a check, ]Or a draft, is valua
ble only as it represents intrinsic val
. ues.• The party who "goes to a San
Francisco banker and purchases ex
' change on New York or Philadelphia,
because he wants' to use money in ei
ther city, understands that the bill
will be honored by the house on
which it: is drawn. But suppose on
his ar rival
, in Philadelphia he should
present his draft and receive informs
tiOn that the drawer had no funds on
deposit with which to cash it ; a very
serious embarrassment would , arise
• at once, and the owner of the draft
would , experience the disability ofsir.-
redeemable paper; and no doubt it,
would take a' great deal of anti-re
sumption argument to convincesuch
a party that the tlishonered draft
was money, or the representative of
money.. Among the attributes of
real money are these : It is instant in ]
its functions, invariable in value, and
usable anywhere without considera- 1
' ble loss. And such money is honest '
' money because tit holds out noln- .
ducements to the holder which the
.evet t t of use does not sanction.
c'heeks, and drafts on housed where ]
the maker has no credits, and circu
lating notes payable , Ondemand, but
on which payment is refused on'pre
sentation, have. not the attributes of
,real money, and am -not, therefore,
honest money.
• It is continually said by the anti/
resumptionists that the Secretary can
] not redeem $346,000,000 of Treasury
notes with gold, because he has not
so much gold. available fOr that pur
pose. But what appliCation has this
reason to resumption? It it be 's
good reason, why was it not advanced
before the' siisPension of specie pay
ments, when a. large proportion of
' the'banks Of the country issued three
times as many prcimises to. Pay as
they had coin to pay with ? It was
' not advanced because men were
aware that, under ordinary circnm.;
stances, butit small part ofithe circu
lating notes of a bank were ever pre
sented for redemption at any speci
fied time. 'Tne ratio of cinizdation to
coin metes was then too large, no
doubt, but it wasblued du certain ,
well-aseertabsed laws of trade and az
changeourd tinder ordinary circum
stances worked well enough. Neil'.
hrg less than wide-spread distress or
universal panic affected honest hanks
even then. They paid gold for notes
of any sound bank as well as for their.
own, and in sums equal to the de
mend. The demand for - coin was

and his wife:
• "GOvernor Hoyt his for
. manY
years occupied an unpretentious res
idence on Frankliti- - street; In this
city. Being always a representative
citizen, his house was known to ev
erybody. Those who have enjoyed
a social evening nutler his 'roof. have
soniething stored away in their minqs
that time can never obliterate. Thing
used .to flattery, Governfir Hoyt has
never been spoiled. The successive
steps to fame and honor over' which
\ he has passed have not elevated hem
into the cold regions of reserve or
iiibued him with the least spark of
hatighty pride. His door is still' open
to the humblest friend, his hand still
extended to all alike. Tho s e who
have ever been a guest at the 'fire
side of Governor Hoyt in the past,
know bow much sunshine will be car
ried from. Wilkes-Barre to Harris-
burg next January. What will be
lost here, however, will be gained at
the capital, and in days to come there
will be opportunities enough offered
for pronouncibg upon , the charms of
a lady who will. rule the executive
household with as gentle and as gen
erous a spirit- as the affairs of the
Commonwealth, will be guided by an
able and impartial mind. The Gov
ernor's 'wife will be none the less the
woman that she has always been.
What has been said of the husband
concerning his elevation in life, may,
be-equally applied to the wife. Good
common sense is not the least of the
many virtues of 'character that each
possess, and increase of honors will
only multiply their efforts to please,
and will never barricade 'the -avenues
to their hospitable hearts.
4 Mrs. Hoyt will be ably supported
in the 'administration of her domestic
affairs,. by a cultured -daughter, re
cently gradhated from the Young
Ladies' Seminary of Farmington, Ct.,

President Porter, of Yale College,

training that accompanied the pas
sage
of years produced the happiest
results, and kindled the holiest and
highest desires. Mary Loveland, an
only daughter,-was of . a retiring and'
modest disposition. She was a wo
man endowed with the richest graces
of character, and inspired by the most
ennobling virtues: She made friends
and kept them. She was full of wo
manly :instincts; and wherever she
went she was a- welcome guest. It
was very natural, too, 'that young
' Hoyt, when he began tO\ think of
marriage, - should look with favor
upon the daughter of his father's best
friend, who had been the playmate of

for the other to be pleased with the
manly young pedagogue, who, after
graduating at Wyoming Seminary,
had been chosen-to fill a teacher's
chair in the same institution. It was
a case 'of mutual admiration and af
fection, which, a few years after,
when young Hoyt had exchanged. the'
teacher's place for the lawyer's desk,'
culminated in a happy marriage. The

A correspondent bf the Erening
-Poet writing from Rome, describes
the present condition of Vesuvius :
"Vesuvius and Etna seem to be
waking like giants from sleep. The
inhabitants of a town in the province
ofleatina, in which is Mount Etna,
were alarmed by continued shocks of
earthgnake and by underground
noises for four or five days. They
lea their houses and the town itself
in the middle of the night and ran to
the open country outside of the gates.
Vesuvius has given signs of agitation
for several weeks,.and the seer who
lives as near the crater as it is safe
to stay, daily reports its condition.
On tha Ist of November the lava rose
over the rim of the o:d crater and
began to descend.on the cone between
the ridges left by the eruption of
1872 rsitors, can now see the fi re
without approaching the crater, arid
the mountain is beautiful. A long
and broad red band of fire may be
seen on the upper part of the cone,
the rest . . being covered with snow.
The contrast is singularly beautiful,
and many persons go to Naples to
see it. It is' oped that the eruption
will not inc ase, as the cup of disas
ter wont( overflow if this misfortune
were added to those already suffered
from, storms - and inundations. It is
curious how the sides of Vesuvius
re cultivated and Inhabited. A
though the people constantly see
Pompeii and Hereulanenni they take
no warnin g from their fate, but build
towns and let their vineyards creep
boldly :up the side of the volcano
until they reach the cinders of the
crater."
Terrible Tale told by Mrs: Charles Imes,
of lowa of her Sufferings while in Indian'
Captivity —A 'whole Party-of Emigrants
Murdered by Yankton and other Salta—
Her Story Fully Corroborated•
OMAHA, Dec. 15.—Mrs. Charles
Jones, of Washington county, lowa,
arrived with: her son aged 12 last
night. They are believed to be the
sole survivors of twelve emigrants
who left Washington county in
February, for the Yellowstone Valley.
They reached fort Kearney March 1- , t,
and when a few dayanut in the river
bottom, they; were surrounded by
seventy Indians. William Brown;
Joshua Brown, and *Joshua Hyatt,
a brother of .Mis. Jones, the men of
the party, were instantly shot dead,
and the others were taken into gap
tiVity. All bnt Mrs Jones and son
it ifibelieved were massacred: She
was \ \made a slave to a chief
named . \ Yankton, and was
.never al
lowed to \ meet or talk with her son.
Her clothe's, were taken lam her,
and she was 'only - allowed, a blanket
and moccasins The camp moved
often, always northward. The war
iors several tittles left the party and
returned With clothing:and plunder,
evidently taken from \Hie murdered
whites. An interpreter with the party
told Mrs Jones the party were chiefly -
Yanktons from the Yankton\igency;
but there were a few from Atiq Red
t.7loud and Spotted Tail *agencies.
They were always roaming during
the summer . and -returned to . the
agencies during the' winter. . Their
slaves are kept outside of the agen
cies in concealment. Other females
white slaves in the party, told her
their friends had been murdered,
and as they bad no homes, they-did
not desire to escape. Young Jones
was kindly treated: At the , exPira
of two months they reached the
neighborhood of a village in North
ern Nebraska, where the Indians all
became drunk. That night, Mrs.
Jones escaped, having only a ragged
blanket and one moccasin. , She
traveled south, subsisting on raw ar
tichokes. After five or six days
she met an ernigrant wagon and
and was given a dress- She begged
her way through the State, reaching
Tows the last day of June. '1 here
she procured money and returned to
Central Nebraska to find her son.
Last October near Kearney, she met
