The Exetaanaf of Standard Silver Dol
lar ror Oroeabaeke Effect mt tbe
Recent Order r Secretory Sherman.
Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.J
; f Washington, Sept. 9. v
THE NEW SILVER D0LLAB ORDEE.
' The recent order of the Secretary
of. the Treasury to the United States
Treasurer, directing him to exchange
standard silver dollars for greenbacks
on and after September 16, is re
garded at the Treasury Department
as a practical resumption of specie
payments, more sweeping in its effect
than the resumption act taking effect
next January. " The last named law
provides for resumption in sums of
fifty dollars and its , multiple, at sub
treasuries, whereas the letter of the
Secretary of" the Treasury of last
Saturday , makes no V limit as to
amount, and prescribes no particular
place, except the several, sub-treasuries,
where exchange of silver for
greenbacks is to be made. :. v;u
It is thought that the effect of the
new order will be to wholly obliterate
the small remaining .premium on
gold, thus making paper, silver a and
gold dollars of equal value as circu
lating mediums. IV is not thought
that the order" will place more of the
silver dollars in circulation. Import
ers having customs duties to pay will
take their greenbacks to obtain silver
for them at one window, and then ex
change silver dollars: for silver certifi
cates at another window. This prac
tically makes greenbacks i equal with
gold and silver for payment of cus
toms. It is not thought any amount
of silver worthy of i consideration
will be taken from the Treasury, be
cause, for purposes .of commerce, the
greenback is preferable, and the new
ones and twos may now be had at the
Treasury in any amount. -
What tbe New Orltaat Negroea Say
Necroes in New Orleans believe:
the height of the . fever has been
reached. Their faith is founded on a
prophecy. Last JNew xears day a
negro sorcerer in an incantation said
that a plague would come over the
South this summer y with terrible
, effect, killing whites and negroes
alike. It wonld continue, he claimed,
until the number of degrees registered
daily on the thermometer should, be
equalled by the. number of daily.
deaths. During the past few days it
seems here has been a singular com
cideneu;betweenlbedeath "rate"" and
the height, of the thermometer, and
the negroes are reported to be very
jubilant and confident that the crisis
has been reached ana that deaths
will now rapidly decrease in '; cumber.
