The Tresidext's Memoranda. Iu
another part of this paper we publish the
correspondence between rresidcut Grant
and Mr. Jones, the hard money Senator
from Nevada, on the financial question.
.The letter of President Grant has created
considerable excitement in Washington's
political circle, and leading llcpublcans arc
reported as professing great alarm over the
discovery of the aggressive position of the
rresidcut on the currency question. The
constitution provides, that all expressions
of opinions of this cliaracUir, shall be com
municated to Congress iu the form of a
message, and there was naturally some
temper shown by the inflationist, when the
letter of the President, being so wide a de
parture from former precedents, was made
public. They were astonished at the de
cided manner in which he opposes any pro
ject that does not embody his particular
views, and hare expressed themsclvts iu
as earnest terms as the President They
charge him with the responsibility of
strangling the currency bill in the bouse
of its friends, and with adhering to a policy
that will drive the republican party iuto
the breakers in the fall electiou. The De
mocrats are uo better pleased than many
of these leading Republicans, except so far
as they profess to have reason to hope for
some political change in their favor. Since
the veto of the President, the Senate itassed
another bill, which was so aracuded in the
House of Representatives, that a committee
of conference was agreed upon, who waited
on the President to obtain his views, in or
der that a couflict of opinion might be
avoided. Nothing satisfactory being ac
complished, the conference committee is
still engaged in framing a bill, but with
little hopes that it will be. signed, biuce
then the President has put forth a memo
randum embracing a full set of financial
views of the most extraordinary character,
indicating the repeal of the legal tender act,
abolition of all notes under ten dollars, re
sumption of specie payment almost at once,
and so on. Of course this is wholly incom
patible not only with the interests of tbe
country, but with the wishes of the
, people. The whole will result in leaving
the question alone. We have already one
. of the best financial systems the world ever
a ml titipriit mvmpntji app. nimrrai-hin
, quite fast enough for the common weal.
Change ix tue Treasury Depart
ment. Secretary Bristow is making some
very radical changes in the workings of the
' Treasury Department, and lias notified the
'House Appropriation Committee that he
docs not desire the new offices called heads
of divisions, created by the Senate, on mo
tion of Senator Boutwell. He has ordered
home Chief Clerk Saville, now travelling
in Europe at the expense of the Treasury
Department, exactly for what object no one
" tor nis to know.
A New Party. A National auti-secret
society convention was in session at Syra-
cuse. N. Y.. several davs last week, and
adopted resolutions declaring all secret
oath-bound fraternities, including grangers
and secret temperance societies, a conspi-
, racy against all who do not belong to them,
and a standing menace to the religion of
Josus Christ, expressing opposition to free
masonry, and refusing to vole for masons
for civil office. They evidently intend
making it a political society, and if so it
will have but a short life. The members
should know the history of tbe Auli-Ma
sonioparty and the Native American party,
and abstain from any attempt to get up an
organization such as they seem to propose
Tlie objection is not, as a rule, to secret
nodal societies, but to auy secret societies
that may interfere ifl the politics and go
vernment of tlie country.
A LAW XIXJMi THE oALA RIES OF
County Commissioners. At the last
session of the Legi&latue the following act
fixing the .salaries of county commissioners
was passed :
. 1 hat tlie pay or tue county commis
sioners oi tlie different counties in this
State shall be three dollars per d.iy for each
day actually employed iu attcnd'Bg to the
duties of their said office, and tl e said per
diem shall be computed from tie first day
of January, Anno Domiuo one thousand
eight huudred and seventy -four : Provid
ed, That the provisions of this act shall
not apply to commissioners already elected
and in office, nor to counties lutving over
one hundred and fifty thousand popula
tion." Citil Sertice. It would seem that lu
the eyes of the President, Civil Service is a
failure, as mny be evidenced by his course
very recently. The Pittsburg Commercial
has well said :
Mr. Richardson became Secretary of the
Treasury through a rigid application of the
Civil Service rules. He was the Assistant
.Secretary of the Treasury when Boutwell
resigned, and the President allowed the
Civil Service system full swing in promot
ing lite first man below the vacant place
above. When, however, it was found that
a continuance of the came rule would pro
mote Sawyer to Rkuardtion's place, the
President naturally hung baric. That was
a little too much, and Civil Service had to
step aside. Tlie Civil Service rules arc
beautiful, in theory ; but in practice, as in
Richardson's case, a dead failure. The
fact that they have been abandoned, in or
der to prevent Sawyer's promotion, is a
' (rong"omment on their inapplicability.
A new cattle disease has broken out near

The Protestant Episcopal Convention

not little wire pulling was indulged in.
The two prominent candidates were Rev.
J. M. Peck, and Rev. Daniel Washburn,
aud after the 4th ballot had been taken
without resulting in a choice, a compro
mise was ultimately agreed to at the sug
gestion of Rev. Mr. Marple, who nomin
ated Rev. Edmund Leaf, who was duly

The Rev. Mr. Ixiverelt was unanimous

Hon. J. B. Packer. Nothing cau lie
more gratifying to the coustiutents of a mem
ber of Congress, than when they learn the
fact that their confidence has not been mis
placed, aud that the man of their choice is
not recreaut to his trust. Ever since the
JIou J. B. Packer was elected to represent
this CougresMonul district iu our national
couueils we have received the most flatter
ing testimonials of his ability aud industry,
iu serving his constituents and watching
over their iuteicsts. This testimony comes
too from disinterested parties who arc daily
cognizant of the doings of members of Con
gress at the National Capitol. Among the
many notices by correspondents to influen
tial Journals in our large cities, we hud the
following extract of a letter to the Phila-
del phia All Day City Item, dated Washing
ton June otli.
HON. JOHN B. PACKER.
Aiuonzall your Reuresiutatives, I know
of noue more worthy, or who stand higher
in the general estimation than the Hon.
John B. Packer. He is intelligent, practi
cal, souud, wise on all subjects of Mate or
National concern, and hence he never does
a foolish thing. Such members are an
honor to Pennsylvania ; an honor to the
Congress. He ought to be sustained by an
honest and reliable constituency, ior ne
will do their will with au earnest devotion,
dedicated to the noblest and best interest
of a loyal and patriotic people."
The election of Mr. Scott as President of
the Pennsylvania Central, and of Mr. Ro
berts as vice Presideut, does not materially
change the licrnonnel of its management.
The new organization is not composed of
new men, but of men who have beeu iden
tified with its maugaeuicnt almost from its
first start iu life. Mr. Scott has been.iu
the company since it began, Mr. Boberls
since lHol, aud Mr. Cassatt, the General
Moacr. aiiice 1101. All three have
tw '
grown up with the road, and arc thorough
ly famil'ar with all its details, and the com
pany is exceedingly fortunate in having
three such men at its command. Its finan
cial condition is superb, aud we venture to
predict that, when the people arc made
fully acquainted with its resources, it will
be under the uew management, to the full
as popular as under the old.
Operations on the Centennial
Grounds at Philadelphia. The Ger
mantown Telciratih says : "there are now
about ninety laborers employed iu excavat
ing for an artificial lake on the Centennial
Grounds, which will serve not only as an
ornament but will also facilitate the drain
age of the higher grounds. The lake will
be situated west of Belmont avenue aud
between Landsdowne drive and Elm ave
nue, and will have a superficial area of
about four acres.
Hie Commissioners nave decided upon
the plan of a Conservatory, and the build
ing will soon be put under construction.
The drawings are nearly completed, and
wonosals will be advertised for in a few
days.
Tlie plan, as adopted, provides for a
building .'170 feet long by 1G0 feet wide,
constructed of iron and glass, the walls
consisting of iron columns aud glass win
dow filling. The main conservatory has a
leugth of 2.10 feet, and a width of 80 feet.
Four smaller couvaloiies or forcing houses
are annexed, each 100 by 20 feet. The re
mainder of the first floor is appointed to
retiring-rooms. On the comers are four
anuexcrs, each 40 by 40 feet, which will be
used for promenades, the ascent to them
being at either end.
The whole building covers au area of one
aud three-quarlers acres, and will be raised
on a terrace sufficiently high above the
goueral level to give a good effect. Its
position is east of Belmont avenue, aud
near what it called the Old Pines, iu the
loop formed by the drive that runs from
Ferndale Pool towards the liver. From
this point are beautiful views, both up and
down the river.
Hie Peach crop. We are glad to
learn that the prospects for the peach crop
are good, notwithstanding the alarming
reports about the destruction of the buds
by frosts, bugs. iVc. The Wilmington
ComuuixuO of Friday says :
We have had satisfactory interviews to
day with large peach-growers in the Miu-
rjletown district, who gave much more en
courairing reports as to peaches. Some of
those who, a few days ago, were loudest io
their afeerlions tliul a tatlurc was to be ex
pected, are now, after riti examination.
convinced that they were hasty in their
conclusions.. We are now told that the
crop in New Castle county and as far down
as Dover, aud in Kent County, Md., still
hold good promise, and the small fruit
which has fallen oil" will only result in the
production of better and larger teaches
from the germs remaining.
Wc were shown this morning some
branches taken at random from an orchard,
and from which the injured peaches had
fallen otr, and we found those that remained
were iu a healthy condition, and quite as
thick as the trees would be able to bring to
maturity. This, we hope, is a fair index
to tlw general situation.
We hear that some klud of a tmall black
insect, much tesembling a flea, has attack
ed the young corn In some parts of Greene
couuty, and is devouring it with a rapidity
that threatens to prove very disastrous to
that crop.

PRESIDENT GRANT'S FINANCIAL VIEWS

SOURCES AND EXPENDITURES.
Washington, June 5. The following
correspondence on the financial question
between General Jones, of Nevada, and
President Grant has been obtained for pub
lication :
.United States Senate Chamber,
Washington, June 4. To the President :
I was so deeply impressed by the clearness
and wisdom of the financial views, some of
which you had fortunately reduced to
writing, recently expressed by you in a
conversation in which I had the honor,
with a few others, to be a participant, that
I cannot dismiss them from my mind. The
great diversity of ideas throughout the
country upou the subject, aud the fact that
public opinion concerning the same is still
in process of formation, lead me to believe
that the publication of these views would
be productive of great good. I venture,
therefore, to request of you that I may
have a 'copy of the written memorandum
to which I have alluded, with your per
mission that it may be made public.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
John P. Jones.
Executive Mansion, Washington,
1). C, June 4,1874. Dear Sir : Your note
of this date requesting a copy of a memo
randum which I had prepared expressive
of my views upon the financial question
and which you with others had heard read,
is received, but a too late an hour to com
ply to-nighL I will, however, take great
pleasure in furnishing you a copy in the
morning, as soon us I can have it copied.
It is proper that I should state that these
views were reduced to writing because I
had been consulted ou this question not
ouly by some members of the conference
committee but by many other members of
Cougicss. To avoid auy aud all misun
derstanding I deemed this .course both
justifiable aud proper. With this explana
tion I enclose you hwewith the nicmoran- !
dum referred to. Very respectfully,
U.S.Grant, j
To ilon. J. P. Jones, United States ;
Seuate. . ;
Memoranda of views entertained on the
subject of desirable legislation on finance.
I believe it a high and plain duty to return
to a specie basis at the earliest practicable
day, not only in compliance with the legis
lative and party pledges, but as a step in
dispensable to lasting national prosierity.
I believe, further, that the time has come
when this can be done, or at least begun,
with less embarrassment to every branch
of industry than at any future time. After
resort has been hud to unstable and tem
porary exH'Uieiitsto stimulate unreal pros
perity and sicculatioii on basis other than
coin, the recognized medium of exchange
throughout the commercial world, the par
ticular mode selected to bring about a res
toration of the specie-standard is not of so
much consequent as that some adequate
plan be devised, the lime fixed when cur
rency shall be exchangeable for coin at par,
and the plan adopted rigidly adhered to.
It is not probable that any legislation sug
gested by me would prove acceptable to
both brauches of Congress, and, indeed,
full discussion might shake my owu faith
in the detail of any plan I might propose.
I will, however, veuture to state the
general features of the action which seems
to me advisable, the financial platform ou
which I would 'stand, any departure from
which would be iu a spirit of concession
and harmony in deference to conflicting
opiuiotis. First, I would like to sec the
legal-tender clause, so called, repealed ; the
repeal to take effect at a' future time, say
July 1, 1S75. This would cause all con
tracts made after that date for wages, sale,
&c, to be estimated in coir,. It would
correct our uotious of vafues. The specie
dollar would be the only dollar known as
the measure of equivalents. When debts
afterward contracted were paid in curren
cy, instead of calling the paper dollar a
dollar, and quoting gold at so much prem
ium, we should think and spoak of paper
as at so much discount. This alone would
add greatly iu bringing the two currencies
nearer together at par. Second, I would
like to see a provision that at a fixed day,
say July 1, 187tt, the currency issued by
the United States should be redeemed in
coin on presentation to any assistant treas
urer, and that all currency so redeemed
should be canceled and never reissued.
To ctUx-t this it would be necessary to
authorize the-iseue f' bonds payable in
gold, bearing such interest as would com
mand par in gold, u U: put out by the
Treasury only iu such sums as should from
time to time be needed lr the purpose of
redemption. Sin h legislation would iusure
a return to sound financial principles iu
two years, aud would, in my judgment,
work Ics hardship to the debtor interest
than is likely to come from putting off the
day of fiual reckoning. It must be borne
in mind, too, that the creditor interest had
its day of disad vantage, also, when our
present financial system was brought in by
the supreme needs of the nation. I would
further provide that from and after the
date fixed for redemption no bills, whether
of national banks or of the United States,
returned to the Treasury to be exchanged
for new bills, should be replaced by bills of
less denomination than ten dollars, and
that in oue year after resumption all bills
of less than five dollars should be with
drawn from circulation, and in two years
all bills of less than ten dollars should be
withdrawn.
The advantage of this would lie strength
given to the country against time of de
pression resulting from war, failure of
crops, or any other cause, by keeping al
ways in the hands of the people a large
supply of the precious metals. With all
smaller transactions conducted in coin
many millions of it would be kept in con
stant use, aud of course prevent it from
leaving the country. Undoubtedly a poorer
currency will always drive the belter out
of circulation. With paper a legal tender
and at a discount, gold and silver become
articles of merchandise as much ns wheat
or cotton. The surplus will find the liest
market it can. With small bills in circula
tion, there is no use for coin except to keep
it In the vaults of bauks to redeem circula
tion. During jteriods of great speculation and
apparent prosperity there is little demand
for coin, and then it will flow out to a
market where it can be made to earn some
thing, which it cannot while lying idle.
Gold, like anything else, when not needed
becomes a surplus, and, like every other
surplus, it seeks a market where it can find
one. By giving active employment lo coin,
however, its presence can, it snems to me,
be secured, and the panics and depressions
which have occurred periodically iu times
cf nominal specie payments, if they cannot
be wholly prevented, can at least be great
ly mitigated.
Indeed, I question whether it would
have beeu found necessary to depart from
the standard of specie in the trying day
which gave birth to the first Legal Tender
act had the country taken the ground of
no Miiall bills as early as 1K."0. Again, I
would provide an excess of revenue over
current expenditure. I would do this by
rigid economy and by taxation where taxa
tion can liest lie borne.
.. Increased revenue would work u con
slant reduction of debt and iuterest, and
would" provide coin to meet demands on
the .Treasury lor. the redemption of its
notes, thereby diminishing the amount of
bouds needed for that purpose. All taxes
after redemption begins should be paid in
coin or United States notes. This would
force redemption on the national banks.
AVith measures like these, or measures
which work out such results, I see no dan
ger in authorizing free banking without
limit.
Finauriiil.
Washington June '.. The conference
committee ou the Banking bill to-day se
cured the signatures to the measure of all
the members of the committee except Mr.
Clymer, of Pennsylvania, who seems dis
posed to make a tight for the President's
hard money policy and early contraction
veiws. The subject will be taken up in the
Seuate to-morrow aud passed by the House
at once, so as to be sent to the President
at least ten days before the adjournment,
so as to compel his action on it, if he meaus
to take the responsibility of defeating it,
as there is now no doubt but that he does.
The securing the approval of Senators
Shermau aud Morton to the bills is far
more than any one had supposed could be
done, until the Presidential Memorandum
made it necessary for his party to do some
thing to show that they had a polity on
which they are willing to make an issue
before the people against the remarkable
fiscal programme of the President. As
there are so many members of the House
who do not agree to all of the provisions of
the conference committee's bill, it is not
unlikely that it will not have a large ma-1
jority in the House, and certainly will not I
be able to rally a two-thirds vote agaiust a
veto, which will cotisequetitly be fatal to it.

Thomas Swan, leading colored men, who
denied emphatically that there was auy in

night. Twenty-one dwellings aud two
grain elevators were demolished, while
every other buildiug iu the village was
damaged. No lives were lost, but mauy
persons were iujured, several of them seri
ously. Troy, N. Y., was visited on Sun
day by a severe thunder storm, during,
which a span of the uow iron bridge con

aud the loss is estimated at 40,000. There
was a severe thunder storm north of

The President's views ou Finance in a
semi-official form has caused considerable
excitement and irritation at Washington.
It seems to have convinced no one, and the
attitude of Congress towards the President
is that of irreconcilability. Nothing that
Congress is willing to pass can receive the
executive approval, and a sufficient ma
jority cannot be obtained to carry any mea
sure over the veto ; so that financial mat
ters are likely to remain in st'itu no for the
present. Congress is for expansion, in
some form, aud tho President is for resum
ing specie payments ; and, between the two,
nothing will be done. Congress adjourns
on the 22d ; and the "people may as well
make up their minds to a continuance of
the present condition of thiugs until the
meeting of a new Congress iu 187't.

OIK XEIV YORK LETTER.
IaAROR THE ITALIANS STREET MUSI'
CIANS STRIKES POLITICS.
New York, June I), 1874.
LAllOR.
It would seem that this, of all the times
in the world, would be the most inauspi
cious for a strike ; but with an infatuation
that cannot be accounted for, the brick
layers aud hod-carriers struck for an in
crease of wages last week. And this at a
time when there is less building than ever
known iu the city. In fact, there is no
building of any accouut going on, and as a
consequence there are thousands upon
thousands of mechanics of this class and
laborers out of employment. Of course
their places are immediately filled by the
starving thousands, and the strikers will
take their places in the ranks of the bun
gry.
The present ghost that haunts the Amer
ican laborer is the
ITALIAN.
Within a few years there has been an
enormous influx of Italians to this country,
aud the bulk of them stop in this city. We
have been iu the habit of considering the
Italian as a dark-skinned, swarthy man,
who would exert himself just enough to
play the harp, guitar or violin, and eat
maccaroni, when he could get it a man
who would only work wheu absolutely
compelled to. This impression is just as
erroneous as popular impressions generally
are. The Italian is a most excellent work
er. He will plod along at his labor ten,
twelve, fifteen or sixteen hours a day, as
may be required of him, and do it as pa
tiently aud honestly as any man. And
there will be fouud among them a very
large amount of skilled labor. There are
excellent cabinet-makers, coopers, shoe
makers, harness-makers, among them,
while in finer mechanism, such as work
upon musical instruments, watches, &c,
they have but few equals.
There are over I'O.OOO able-bodied Italians
here now, and every steamer and sailing
vessel brings recruits. They are all very
poor all without means'. Consequently
they take any work that offers at the price
offered. The brigade that sweeps the
streets nights are Italians, and whenever
working-men of auy kind have been idiotic
enough to strike, Italians have b:en the
first to offer to take their places. IJ.it there
is another class of Italians, of whom your
readers have had some experience J name-
STREET MUSICIAN'S AND I1EOOARS.
The streets of New York are filled with
ragged boys and equally ragged girls, who
play the most doleful music upon the most
wretched harps and violins, and live by
what may be called forced contributions
which is to say, people give them Icoppers
or nickels, partly out of pity and, partly
that they may move out of ear-shot with
their infernal noise. These children are,
as a rule, sold by their parentsin the Ital
ian cities to men called piulrones, who bring
them over and operate them. The little
waifs arc completely in the power of the
padrone, who compels them to bring him
each night so much money, the penalty be
ing starvation and most unmerciful beat
ing. The authorities determined to break
it up, and the Italian consul in this city
gave the authorities the most cordial cooperation;-.
On Friday of last week, all
these children ou the streets were arrested
and declared vagrants, and" were treated
as such. The pa drones protested, but the
authorities were firm. The children will
be placed in the best positions to make use
ful men and women of them, and the gov
ernment will take steps to prevent a con
tinuance of the business of bringing them
here. Speaking of
strikes,
The coolers' striko has resulted in two
very scrbus affairs. One was peculiarly
tragic. 1 cooper who belonged to the
union, anl knocked off work with his fel
lows, cam. home to ffud his larder empty,
and his wfe and children really sufTering
for want d food. In the morning his wife
implored liui to take. workrbut he replied
he could mt desert his comrades, and went
away. 1I( came home at night to find his
wife and tirce children dead. The poor
woman lud gone crazy, and killed her
children aud then herself.
The otier tragedy occurred Thursday
night. Four union coopers attacked one
who persisted in continuing at work; and
in self-defence he shot two of them, one
dying from the wound. The labor ques
tion is one that is going to make a great
deal of trouble here.
Politics in New York is quite a different
ming irom wnat it is in me country, tv liu
vou, :t runs in well-dehneu grooves. If a
man is a Bepublican, he is a Republican,
and if he is a Democrat, he is a Democrat.
Iiut in New York you have to ask Tvhat
kind of a Democrat or what kind of a Re
publican i man is. He may be a Tammany
Democrat, and Apollo Hall Democrat, or
any one of a dozen other kinds of a Demo
crat. .And the Republican party is made
up of quite as many factions, there being
this difference, however : The Democratic
factions are all after plunder, and each
strives to get supreme control of the mo
ney bags of the great' corporation. The
Republican, party being in a minority, can
not steal directly, that is of the city ; but
the wicked portion of them ally them
selves to whatever faction of the Democra
cy they think will win, and join in the
plunder. It is all a game of stealing.
Tweed got some of his best support from
Republicans, both in and ont of the city.
Rut the Republicans get their innings in
the Federal offices, which do not depend
upon the will of the people. These offices
are the bones over which they wrangle and
growl and bark and bite. The Custom
House gives places to many hundreds of
people. The Post-Office is an" excellent
shelter for spavined political hacks, and
there are other offices of equal feeding ca
pacity, the struggle for these places effects
just as many divisions in the Republican
party as the city plunder does in the De
mocratic. The 'outs'1 fight the "ins
they get in, and then the conditions are re
versed.
Therefore, political expression from the
metropolis has no significance whatever.
Those people whose voices would be worth
the hearing never speak ; those who are
heard, speak from interest. If a loud
mouthed brawler denounces the Adminis
tration as corrupt, you may be tolerably
certain that he has been forcibly pulled
from the public teat and is out in the cold
And I am sorry to be compelled to say that
if you hear one loud in defence of the Ad
ministration you may be about as certain
that be is snugly fixed aud does not wish
to be unfixed. - The solid people of the city
take no interest in it at all ; they vote, if
they have time, and that is about all.
They submit to be plundered because they
can't afford the time to fight it. 'As one
merchant said to me, "My time is worth
to me so many hundreds of dollars a day,
I know these scoundrels are pludering ns,
and I know we could stop it- But I can't
afford to stop my business and go on com
mittees, and attend meetings, and do the
work necessary to stop it. They steal S10,-
000 a year of me I can better afford to pay
it than fight it." And so it goes, as long
as it is so, there is no hope of a pure gov
ernment io New York.
