(Bill Stents Henry A. Parbons, Jr. Editor THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2l,i8;4. A P0L1C7 AT LAST. Fiom (he FitUlwgh JcIegrojJi. Undoubtedly one cause of the Repnb. licon reversss last fall was that the part; went betoro the country without toy policy on the financial question. While moat of the Eastern Republicans favored the earliest possible resumption oi specie payments, and were especially earnest in opposing any further inflation of the currency, Western and Southern Republicans in Congress took an oppo site viow. The position of the admin istration was well understood to be in favor of deosiro measures to bring about a return to a specie basis. This division of opinion prevented anything like a united front by the party on the question uppermost in wen's minds, and became the most important and in fluential of the causes that contributed to the political reverses in October and Noveneber. With tho reassemb ling of Congress, an effort was made by Republican Senators to bring about a better understanding, arrange differences on this financial question, and lrame a bill that would command the united support of the party in Coagress, as well as meet the approval of the people at largo. The Committer of eleven Re publican Senators to whom the duty wa confided of preparing such a bill repre sented every phase of financial opinion Resumption was represented by Slier man, of Ohio Edmunds of Vermont, Sargent of California, Conk ling, and Morrill, of Maine, while the inflationists had on the Committee such champions of their theory os Morton, Ferry of Michigan and Logan. This was not very promising material, eensidering the way these Senators fought each other last session, from which to expect a harmonious conclusion; bet it appears that they have reached it, and on Satur day the Committee repoitd to a fall Senate caucus, with their unanimous recommendation, Republicaj finance policT, ewbodied in u bill the leading features of which are as follows; First Free banking, to be open to all individuals and associations, 'without limitation or capital. Second The retiring of amount of greenbacks equal to eighty per cent, of thi amount of neir national Dotes is sued until the greenback circulation shall bo reduced to 33C0,000,000, after which no reduction of greenbacks is to take plaoe. It is claimed that by this provision thoro Till be neither expansion nor contraction of the currency, cs about twenty per cent, is now required as lank reserves. , Third The withdrawal and desfrue tion of fractional currency and the sub stitution of silver coin, the arrangement . to go into effect as soon 3 practicable) under direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, who is authorised to use Eur. plus money for supplying silver ooio, and, if this is not sufficient, to soli the requisite amount of bonds of the new series to obtain funds for that purpose . lourth The removing of tho cott for tho coiaage of go'd at the several mints, Fifth The resumption of specie pay meats to commence on the first day of January, 1879. The Secretary is au thorized to use the surplus specie in the Treasury, but, if that ia not sufficient, to sell bonds in order to obtain gold to pay Treasury notes. But this last provision does not, like the others, go into imna diate effect. The Legal Tender act re Mains undistuibcd. This bill was agreed to by the caucus with only four dUsentiag votes, and will ba reported to the Senate to-day. ll will undoubtedly pass that body, and very likely the House, and in that event there is do doubt it will meet the op proval ef the President, as it is in con formity with tbe general tenor of the recommendations of his late teenage. Tim only immediate result of the bill will ba the withdrawal of the abcatina bte postal aurrency and the substitution of silver ooin. This is believed to be perfectly feasible even in the present condition of the foauoea. Tbe Govern ment is able to purehaso and coin silver at a profit, and tha substitution can be rnado at an early date. The estimate of the Direotor of the Mint dhows a gain of specie coin and builion !n the county in the last two years of about thirty millions ef dollars. This, iu connection with an annual pooduo'.ion of about seventy million dollaos of preeious metals affords encourag enient that the stock of ooia may with farorable legis lation, be accumulated to an extent sufficient to enable the resumption ef specie payments to be undertaken and maintained by the time indicated in tbe bill the fret day of January, 1671i ManoheBter, N.

COMMIT BC ROLART-ONS OOJirSiSKS 10 ABDUCTING OI1ABLKT ROES. From the New York Tribune On Sunday night 13 inst. at about 9 o'clock two rough-looking men stepped into Winant's Hotel at Hay Ridge, a little village on Long Island, and called for liquor. They come ashore from a email black sloop, and alter drinking, several times, left the hotel. The elder was a man of about five feet six inches in height, with light hair, and Bide whiskers and mustache. This was William Mosier, a bold river thief, well known to the puiice of this city. His companion was also a thief a man about tbe same height as himself, with red hair and a luxuriant red mustache. This man was known to the police as Joseph Douglass. lie appeared to be about 23 year of ogo, while Mosier seemed to be at least 45. Their appear ance attracted no attention, and al though while at the hotel they conver sed in subdued tones, there was nuthinjt in their manner which aroused suspicion. While driuking tlicy seemed in the best of humor. "Here's luck!" said the elder of of the two, and his companion answered, "Here's that we may have it." These were the last words that tbey uttered at the hotel. About a mile fiom Fort Hamilton stands the modest looking summer resi dence of Judge Van Brunt, cf tho New York Court ot Common Pleas. The house is not occupied during the winter. Adjoiuiug it is tho residence of Holmes Van Brunt, brother ot tho Judge and the two houses are connected by a burg lar alarm. On Saturday night, Mr. Van Brunt and his son William were at home. At about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Van Brunt was aroused from slumber by thesouud of the bur glar alarm. He immediately called fr his son, and the young man, upon being informed of what had taken place, rushed out of the house, armed with a pistol, and ran over to the Judge's resi dence. Upon approachiue; the house he saw lights moving from room to room. ithout stoppiug to make further inves tigation, ho ran back to Lis father's house and informed him that burglars were at work in tho Judge's residence Mr. Vau Bruet, although suffering se verely from an attack of rheumatism, sprang from his bed, dressed very hastily and seized a double-barrel shot-gun. In the meantime his son sailed at the bouse of his father's employees, Wil liam Scott and Herman Frank, and ac quainted them with the fact that Judge Van Bruut's house was being robbed. In a very few minutes Holmes Van Brunt, his son, ond the hired men were on their way to the J udge s houe! Thev proceeded carefully, and upou arriving at the mansion stationed themselves where they cou'd shoot the burglars the moment they left the bcasc. For nearly an hour they stood there watch ing the burglars as they moved from room to room, rinally Mr. uu Brunt requested his son to go around ana opcu tne oacs aoor. i lie son obeyed, but the moment ho opened the door the burglars blew out their lights. They knew for the first time that thev were in danger. Presently loot-steps on the stairs were heard, and then two meu emerged from the cellar. "Stop and surrender or J 11 shoot, shouted Mr, Van Brunt. His answer was two pistol hots. Taking quick aim at the nearest man, Mr. Van Biunt fired. The fellow shrieked from pain and ran of!'. His companion was by his side, and had pro ceeded only a short distance before he received a shot from Mr an Brunt s eon. The man who received tho first shot continued his flight through the yard until he camo within range ot Her man Frank's fowling piece. As he did so he was shot in the back, and fell. Tbe other feliow driven to desperation turning upon young Van Brunt, pistol in hand, and aiming it his heart fired. He missed his aim. "Stand, or 1 11 kill you," shouted the young man, but the burglar leveled his pistol again. Mr. VanBruot grasped his gun by the stook and struck the burglar a terrible blow upon the arm. 'I he stock flew off, and the plucky young fellow drew a revolver and fired twice at the thief, while ihc luffiuti was aiming at his head. The man fell with the words, - 'I'm throusih" upon his lips. In a few moments he was dead. His companion fell about 15 yards from the house, and was writhing in agony, when Mr. Van Brunt stepped to his side. This was Joseph Douglass; his dead companion was William Mosier Douglass was in excruciating agony when Mr. Van Brunt asked him if he had anything to say. From his abdomen the entrails protruded, and his right side presented a hideous appearance. His first cry was for liquor. "For tbe love of God," he moaned "give we a driuk of whit-key, quick, quick, quick." The liquor was brought him, Lut es soon as be touched it with his lips he pushed it away, and cried lor water. He rolled upon tho wet ground and placed his hands upon his ghastly wounds, as if to stop tbe flow of blood which gathered in pools around him. He lay there slowly dying, but clinging to life until tbe end. It was two hears and a half before he died. Mr. Van Brunt is a man about 50 years of age, noted in his neighborhood for strength and courage. Ilia son is a modest young man of 25. Tbe old gentleman told the tragedy as follows: "I heard the alarm bell this morning at about 2 o'clock, and I sent for ay sod immediately. He took a lantern and ran over to the Judge's hoiife, where be saw a light. Socn afterward he came back considerably excited, and n)d there weie burglars around. I dressed myself and got a gun. Then my son, tad a eonple of tbe liied men, with myself, went over to the Judgs s bouse. A e saw a light in it, and I told my son to go )n. lie was a little lieivou, suit thought we would batter wait on the outside, and we did for tn hour. I got tired there, and took a look ia tbe honee and saw two men. I went back and told my son we had got to go for them. I requested him to open tho back door and he did. Then we heard the burglars coming down stairs. They went down in the cellar and en mo out through the oellar door. As they did, I shouted, 'Stand, or I'll fire.' Tbey fired two shots, and then I shot the man nearest to me. Then I gave it to bis compan ion, and he yelled. They both got away a little space before they dropped. The young man dred at about half-past five o'clock." By order of Coroner Jones the bodies were removed to the morgue in Brooklyn Mosier was found to have been shot twice through the back, and Douglass wis shot through tho right side, the charge making its way into the abdomen and inflicting a fearful wound. The sloop owned by the burglars was searched but the authorities state that no papers of interest were found. The Eyinj Burglar's Confession DOUGLASS AND MOSIER THE ABDUC TORS OF CHARLEY ROSS A GHASTLY DEATU BED SCENE THE BUKULAK8 IDENTIFIED BY A DETECTIVE. While Douglass was dying a orewd of unfeeling rustics gathered around him and coarsely speculated upon tho ap proach of death. A servant girl, rough atjd uncouth, stepped to his side while the miserable wretch was gasping 'or breath, and said: "It serves you right. It's j ust good fur you." Douglass turned an appealing glance upon her, and with an effort replied: "Oh, Madam, I've been a very wicked fellow, I know." The girl curled her lip and made no reply. For over two hours, without priest or physician, the niiserablo fellow wts left to die upou the cold, wet ground Mr.. Van Brunt asked him if he had anything to say, and told him that he must die. Douglass replied that he was a single man, una tliut IWosicr, bis dead companion, was a married man and had five children, lie stated to Theodore Bergen that he had helped to steal Charley Ross, and that he was in tht buggy with Moicr when the boy was taken away. "iUosier knows all about it," he said, "and so does Inspector Walling. The boy will turn up all right." His last words were: "Mosier lives in Philadelphia, and he knows where the boy is You'll find $70 in my pocket. All I ask of you is to give mc a decent burial. I'vo "ot a brother and sister living, but I haven't seen them in over ten years. Give mo a decent burial. That's all I ask."

JpilYSICIANS AND DRUGGISTS. A prominent New York phyBicLin lately complained to Dundas Dick, abcut his Sad dalwood Oil Capsulus, staling that some times they cured miraculously ; bnt that a patient of his had taken them for sometime without effect. On being informed that several imitations were made and sold, he inquired and found that his patient had been takiugenpsulaesold in bottles, and not DUNDAS DICK & CO'S. What happened to this physician may have happened to others, and DUNDAS DICK & CO., take this method of protecting "Oil of Sandalwood" from this disrepute. PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the Cupsulas will CONTINUE TO DO SO, for they contain the PUKE OIL iu the BEST AND CHEAPEST form. OIL OF SANDLEWOOD is fact super seding every other remedy, sixty Cspsules ONLY being required to insure a cafe and certain cure in six or eight days. From no other medioine can this result be bad. Dick's Soft Capsules solve tbe prob lem long considered by many eminent phy sicians, of how to avoid the nausea and dis gust experienced ia swallowing, which are well known to detract from, if not destroy, the good effects of many valuable remedies. bolt Capsules tie put up i. tin-foil and net boxes, thirty in ea;h, and are the only capsules presoribed by Pbyuicians. igrTIiESE WERE THE ONLY CAP SULES ADMITTED lO THE LAST PARIS EXPOSITION.
