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

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.

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."
