A step Toward* Specie Pm/ntents—A New 5
cent Coin—Mutilated'and Worn Out'lifter
Monei/ Turned to Good Account—A Sating
of $30,000 a Year^— What One Faithful,
Energetic Officer can Accomplish—Ifoui the
Paper Money is Made. '
The arrangements for coining and issuing
a new 5 cent piccp.arc nearly completed, and
the new coin will soon make its appearance.
It is to lie made, not of silver, copper, or .evert
iron, but tbo base metal, known as nickel.
This is a step toward a return to specie pay
ments, since it is intended that the new coin
shall take the place of the 5 cent paper note,
and drive the latter out of circulation; but,
although ii is a step in the right direction, it
is not the right 6tcp to take. And these are
the reasons: The director of tbo Mini at
Philadelphia, to whom the subject had to be
owcu xo wit decision, nun referred, reports that the ,preparations for
a grace and magnanimity that has qycited the 8triki tll0 now ^ i;i J udiug ni!iki ngdie»
admiration of the world: from beings one|efe.,willCost hilf .millionof dollars, *300,-

nent one. It cannot remain in use many
years. The country will return to real specie
payments before many years, and tlic very

These machines seem almost to be endowed

numbers in tbo bright red color, changing
the number of each note, and this i3 done

machines, constructed by Mr. Clark for this

and trim the edges with such exactness that
a package of notes, when put up, looks as
smooth as the edges of a ''ook.
Most of the operations connected with the

ACsmrA, riiuss/A, and itai.v.
, t The question of war for the moment is
overshadowed by tlic financial panic. There
is no modification in the threatening aspect
of affairs.
The Times, in a summary view of nffairs on
tlic 11th, says the whole Prussian army and
great bodies of ttoops are massed along the
frontiers. Austria is bringing into the field
every man she can raise, and it is enough to
say the whole nation is panting for war.—
There were rumors of communications hy
France ana England with Austria, with a
viewtohveftan outbreak, but nothing au
thentic.
Thfc latest Florence papers regard war as
inevitable, and says, by a modification of the
Ministry about to* take place, La Marmora
will receive tlie military command.
■ was stated that the King of Italy would
leave Florence, May 15, for Piacenza.
The Italian Chamber of Deputies passed, by
a vote of 203 to 48, a bill granting tbe gov
ernment extraordinary powers to provide for
the maintenance of the public safety. .
Exportation of horses is prohibited from
Italy. Offices for tbe enrolment of volunteers
were opened in Florence and other cities.
Italian municipalities continued to vote re
wards and pensions to soldiers who shall sues-
* ’ and at Mcs-
francs was
voted for the crew of the first Italian man-of-
war that shall take distinguished part in op
erations against Venice.
The city of Venice is said to be closed to
'traffic from without.
Italian and German journals had become
more reserved in their accounts of armaments
and military intelligence.
A royal decree w as issued on the 10th, dis
solving the Chamber of Deputies. This mea
sure was proposed to tbe King by the minis
ters. in order that a fresh election without
delay might develop the real feeling of the
Prussian people. It was thought this might
delay the outbreak of war.
The Provincial Correspondcnz, of Berlin, in
announcing the mobilization of tbe entire
Prussian army, says: The nation may l»c as
sured that the government is willing to main
tain peace if it can be done with honor and
due regard to Prussian interests; but it has
resolved that it roust act in a iftfciblc and
decided measure to maintain those interests,
It is stated that Prussia, in reply to the
Austrian dispatch of May 4 relative to the
Duchies, expressed willingness to enter into
fresh negotiations upon another basis, since
that now proposed is not suitable for a start
ing point. Another statement is that Bismark
had declared to the Austrian Ambassador that
ho would only accept the solution of the
question ot tho Duchies from a German Par
iiament
The Baravian Government had ordered the
immediate mobilization of the entire Bava
rian Army.
A number of the reigning petty German
sovereigns had been in conference in Wirtcui
berg, but the result wus not stated.
Rumors were current at Vienna of Russian
preparations for war.
Orders have been also issued from Constan
tinople that tlic Turkish army be raised to
its full strength, and calling out 12,000 of
the Reserve.
Late dispatches from Vicuna say that tlic
aspect of affairs is regarded os threatening.
Hopes of mediation and peace all being re
garded as illusoiy. A loyal manifestation
nnd active military measures are reported
from various parts of Austria. The Arch
duke Regnicr had left Vienna for Verona.
The Vienna Neue Freuudcnblatt says the
reply of Prussia to the last Austrian note has
been received, and is calculated to cause a
complete rupture between the two powers.

The President’s Policy.
The most material declarations of Mr. John
son, as to his views and intentions, are per
haps well given in tlic following extract, from
a standing article in the Richmond Republic;
Tbe Representatives of the States should
be loyal men, willing to abide by and be de
voted to the Union and the Constitution of
the States.
All responsible positions and places ought
to be confined distinctly and clearly to men
who are unmistakably and unquestionably
loyal.—Presi/’enfs reply to the Virginia Com
mittee.
I hold it to be my duty to recommend the
admission of every State to its share in pub
lic legislation when it presents itself in tho
person of representatives whose loyalty can
not be questioned nncler any existing consti
tutional or legal test. - President's Veto Mes
sage.
The Constitution decloi. s that no State
shall be deprived of equal suffrage in the
Senate of the United States without its con
sent. Then, where do wc stand! All that
is needed to finish this great work o' estora-
tion is for the two Houses respective y to de
termine the question. Oh! but sonic one will
say. “A traitor might come in!” The an
swer to this is, that each House must be the
judge, and if a traitor presents himself, can
not either House know that he is a traitor X
And if he is a traitor, can they not kick him
out of tho door, and send him back, saying
to the people that sent him, “You must send
us a loyal man V' Is there any difficulty in
that ? If a traitor presents himself to cither
House, cannot that House say to liirii, “No:
you cannot be admitted into this body. Go
back: We will not deny our people the
lit ot representation, but they must send a
loyal representative.’’—President's address t ■
the soldiers and sailors.
I will put an end to tlie Freeduien’s Bureau
just as soon as the South, by proper action
for the protection of the firmed men, make it
unacccssarvw—President's intertieir with Gov.
Coj>.
To this collection of the President’s decla
rations may now be added the views express
ed or plainly indicated in the Proclamation
of Peace. \Ve have, then, probably, the sub
stance of all that has been disclosed of the
programme adopted by the administration,
for the treatment of the Southern States.

degrees she came closer and closer to me, as
I sat in my chair, until really her face came
so near my own that I thought she wanted
me to kiss her. When my indignation came
to my relief, and, drawing myself back and
straightening myself up, I gave her the prop
