The Presbyterian General Assembly
at St. Louis expressed by resolution,
'that the Asstaibly express no opinion
ai to the Scriptural view of women's
right to speak or pray in public meet
ings, 4c, aod leaving the question in
tbe hands of tbe pasters and elders."
The project of cheap transportation
by the rivers in Pennsylvania is again
being brought before tbe public.
Steamboat navigation in the Susque
hanna and J ubiata rivers may be made
practicable by erecting dams at ptoper
intervals. It may be years in the fu
ture, but such a system of transporta
tion is surely approaching iu Pennsyl
vania.
The President thinks of repealing the
legal-tender act, and paying the $382,000,
000 of that kind of luoory in coin by the
1st of July, lb7S. If tbe United SUtes
Treasurer would hoard erery dollar of gold
that enters the Treasury between this date
and tbe 1st day of July, 11-75, be would
not have hail enough coin to redi em the
iegai-tender currency now in circulation.
Tbe Guvenimcut wonld hare to go to Eu
rope to borrow gold to pay them. That ia
only one luint ot the President's Mem
oranda of Views the others are as faulty.
"The latest about the Meunoni'es is
that their emigration purposes were con

that the Czar has sent General Tod tie

empted from the workiugs of bis new
military law, and be subject only to
duty in hokpitals. And we may not
have any Mennouites at all.''

tbe action which seems to me advisable.
the financial platform on which I would
stand, any departure from which would
be in a spirit of concession and har
mony iu deference to conflicting opin
ions. Fifit. i would like to see the legal
tender clause, so called, repealed, the
repeal to take effect at a future time,
say July 1, IS75. Tbis would cause
all contracts made after that date for
wages, sale, &o., to be estimated in
coin. It would correct our notions of
values. The specie dollar would be
tbe only dollar known as the measure
of equivalents. hen debts after
wards contracted were paid in curren
cy, instead of calling the paper dollar
a dollar, and quoting gold at so much
premium, we should think and speak of
paper money as at so much discount.
This alone would aij greatly in bring
ing the two currencies nearer together
at par.
Second. I wouU like to see a provi
sion tbat at a fixed day, say July 1,
1870, the currency issued by the United
States should be redeemed in coin on
presentation to any assistant treasurer,
and that all currency so tedeemed
should be cancelled aud never reissued.
To effect this it would be necessary to
authorize the issue of bonds payable in
gold, bearing such interest as would
command par in gold, to be put out by
tbe Treasury only, in such sums as
should from time to time be needed for
the purpose of redemption. Such leg
islation would insure a return to sound
financial principles in two years, and
would, in my judgment, work less hard
ships to the debtor interest than is
likely to come from putting off the day
of final reckoning. It must be borne
in mind, too, that tbe cieditor interest
had its day of disadvantage also, when
our present financial system was brought
in by the supreme needs of tbe nation.
1 would further provide tbat 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 replace 1 by bills of less de
nomination than ton dollars, and tbat in
one year after resumption all bills of
less than five dollars should be with
drawn fn-ru circulation, and in two
years all of less than ten dollars should
be withdrawn. The advantage of this
would be strength given to tbe conntry
against time of depression lesulting
from war, failure of crops, or any other
cause, by keeping always in tbe bands
of tbe people a large supply of the
precious metals. With all smaller
transactions conducted in coin many
millions of it would be kept iu con
stant use, and of c Qrse prevent it from
leaving the country. Undoubtedly a
pooler currency will always drive the
better ont of circulation. With paper
a legal tender aod at a discount gold
and t-ilver become articles of merchan- i
disc as much as wheat or cotton. Tbe
surplus will find tbe best market it can
witb small bills in circulation. There
is no use for coin except to keep it in
the vaults of banks to redeem circula
tion. During periods of great specu
lation and apparent prosperity there is
little demand for coin, and then it will
flow ont to a market where it can be
made to earn something, which it can
not while lying id!e. Gold, like any
thing else, when not needed becomes a
I surplus, and. like vry other surplus,
it seeks a market where it can find one.
By giving active employment to coin,
however, its presence can. it setns to
me, be secured and tbe panics aud de
pressions which have occurred periodi
cally in times of nominal specie pay
ments, if they cannot be wholly pre
vented, can at least be greatly mitiga
ted. Indeed, I question whether it
wonld have been found necessary to de
part from tbe standard of specio in the
trying day which gave birth to the first
Icgil-tender act bad tbe country taken
he rrouud of no mall bills as early as
1850.

; revenue over current expenditures I
would do this by rigid economy, and by
a
tazation where taxation can best be
borne. Increased revenue would work
constant reduction of debt and inter
est, and would pi o vide coin to meet de
mands on tbe Treasury for the redemp
tion of its notes, thereby diminishing
the amount of bonds needed for that
purpose. All taxes after redemption
begins should be paid in coin or United
States notes. This would force re
demption on the national banks. With
measures like these, or measures which
would work out such results, I see no
danger in authorizing free banking
without limit.
Tue President, Tlce President
and General Manager of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
Since the death of Mr. Thompson,
President of tbe Pennsylvania Central
Railroad Company, attention bas been
more closely than ever directed to the
men at the head of the organization or
corporation. A brief sketch of the
three officers above named, as produced
by the Prett, will be read with inter
est :
The board of directors of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company met on the
3rd inst., in special session, to perfect
its organization by tbe election of a
successor to the late president, Mr. J.
Edgar Thompson. Thomas Alexander
Scott was unanimously elected to the
presidency. He is just in the prime of
life, not yet fifty years of age, and is a
man of wonderfully preserved physical
and mental vigor. He was born on the
28 lh of December, 1824, in Loudon,
Franklin county, Pennsylvania, aud
after enjoying tbe advantages of tbe
rude common schools of that day, first
started life on his own account as clerk
for the collector at Columbia, Pa. He
. ..
(Columbia Railroad, and in 18a0 be be-
I w-' - "
came general agent of the eastern di
vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Subsequently he was transferred to the
management of tbe western division,
and soon after be was promoted to gen
eral superintendent of tbe entire line.
In 1859 he succeeded William B. Fos
ter as vice president of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad, and has continued tbe
secoud officer of the company by suc
cessive annual elections until the late
election, when be was unanimously
chosen Mt. Thomson's successor. Du-
ring tbat time bis labors have been her
culean. He has been president of the
Pennsylvania Company since its organ
ization in March, 1871, a company that
controls all the western lines owned or
leased by the present company ; presi
dent of the Pan Handle Railroad da
ring the same period ; was president of
the Union Pacific from March, 1871, to
March, 1872 ; bas been president of
the Texas Pacific Railroad since its re
organization, besides being an active
director in a number of other roads.
He was Assistant Secretary of War
from tbe outbreak of the war until May,
18G2, and has but recently declined the
presidency of the New York and Erie
Railroad Cempany. Now tbat he bas
accepted the first railroad position on
the contiuent, he will of course con
centrate bis whole energies in the man
agement of the vast trust committed to
his care as chief executive officer.
George B. Roberts, the first vice
president, is of Philadelphia Quaker
stock, but little over forty years of age,
having graduated at Renssellacr Poly
technic Institute, New York, in 1849,
and devoted himself to engineering.
He entered tbe service of tbe Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company in 1851, and,
with but a brief exception, has contin
ued in tbe service of tbe company until
now. He was tbe chief officer, under
Mr. Thompson, who reared that finest
monument of civil engineering to be
found either in this or any other coun
try the construction of the road over,
and tunuelling through, the Alleghany
Mountains, and has for years stood con
fessedly as one of the most accom
plished aud efficient engineers we have.
In 18G2 be was made assistant to Pres
ident Tborcpson, which position he held
until he was chosen fourth vice presi
dent in 18G9. In 1873 be was made
second vice president, and continued in
that position until the late election,
when be was unanimously made the first
vice president, and tbe sccoud execu
tive officer of the company. Durirg
bis whole connection with the company
be has been in most iutiruate and trust
ed relations with President Thompson,
as bis thorough capabilities as an engi
neer and his very methodical and care
ful business habits made him a most
faithful counsellor ; and the president
never ventured upon any enterprise,
ce a after after all questions of mere
policy were settled, without calling to
his aid the judgment of bis engineer,
Mr. Roberts.
Tbe general manager, Mr. A. J. Cas
salt, is etiil younger than Mr. Roberts,
having graduated in 1859, at the same
institute at which Mr. Roberts gradu
ated, with the degree of civil engineer.
In 18G1 be entered the office of the
resident engineer of tbe Philadelphia
division of tbe Pennsylvania Railroad,
and in 18G3 became assistant engineer
of the Connecting Railway. In 18G4
he was made resident engineer of the
middle division of tbe Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad, and in 1SGG he became
superintendent of motive power and
machinery of tbe same railroad. The
year following be was transferred to
the Pennsylvania Railroad, as. superin
tendent of motive power and machinery
of that line and all its branches. In
1870 he was promoted to general su-
pcrioteodent of the Pennsylvania Rail- j
road and all lines controlled by it in
Pennsylvanian, and he is now general
! manager of all the lines and branches
of the Pennsylvauia Railroad Com
pany from Pittsburg and Erie to Phil
adelphia. Thus in but thirteen years,
at the age of 34, he has risen solely by
his merits, from a subordinate of a resi
dent division engineer, to tbat of gen
eral manager ot tbe great trunk lines,
and all tributaries, from lbs Ohio and
the Lakes to the three great commer
cial cities of New York, Pennsylvania,
and Maryland. He is a gentleman of
singular keenness of perception and
! promptness of action in his official
duties, bas boundless energy in all that
comes within the scope of his manage
ment, and is second to none in bis
breadth of appreciation of our wonder
ful aud still progressive railway system.
His immediate executive duties are of
tbe most exacting nature, requiring
complete capacity, with great aptness
in administration, but tbe direction of
thousands of miles of railroad, most of
it our chief arteries of trade, witb the
precision cf clock-work, and witb a
degree of method and safety that chal
lenges criticism, marks Mr. Cassatt as
fully equal to the duties imposed upon
biui, aud points to him as one of tbe
J first railroad men of our country.
News Summary.
Wednesday, June 3.
An atrocious murder occurred be
tween two gipsies, in their camp, near
the boundary line of Newtown and
Long Island City, this morning, at half
past eleven o'clock. The parties con
cerned in the tiagedv are an old wo
man, a fortune-teller, and a man and a
boy. The old woman bad been dcriv-
! ing a considerable income from fortune-
telling for some time past, and this
morning the old mac, who is the leader
of the band, demanded a share of the
money. It is snppo&ed that the old
woman firmly refused to divide the
money, when tbe old man, being en
raged, struck her a violent blow. The
son resented this insult to bis mother
by jumping upon her assailant and
kuocking him down. The old man
arose furiously, aod drawing a heavy
horse pistol discharged it several times
at the boy, two shots taking effect in
the left breast. The boy then stag
gered toward the gipsy captain, and by
a strong effort made a desperate plunge
at him aud stabbed him in tbe arm.
The gipsy then fired the remaining bar
rel of the pistol, the bullet piercing
the boy's heart, and he fell at his feet,
giving a single cry : " Mother ! I'm
killed." The gipsy leader, seeing that
the boy was dead, and fearing the in
terference of the authorities would
cause him trouble, ordered tbe goods of
the whole party to be packed np, and
in less than ten minutes the caravan,
three carriages in number, and eight
horses, were beating a hasty retreat.
The whole of the shocking affair was
witnessed from a neighboring bouse, the
occupants of which were too horrified to
give an alarm. The body of the un
fortunate boy, who was killed in trying
to save his mother, was thrown in the
bottom of a cart, and the teats and
other luggage piled npon him. Six
mounted aud armed men started in pur
suit of the murderer at three o'clock
