Tho wow had begun in tho gloaiuiug, And busily all (he night Had boen heaping tho field and highway With a silonoo doop and white*. Every pino, oud fir, end bundook, Wore ormino too door for on oar); Aud tho poorest twig on tho elm trco Was fringed iuoh deep willi pearl. From sheds DOW roofed with (Jarrara Carno Chanticleer's mu 111 od crow; Tho Btifl rails wcro softened to swan's down, And still fluttered down tho snow. I stood and watched by tho window Tho noiseless work of tho sky, And tho sudden flurries of snow birds, Liko brown leaves whirling by. I thought of a mount in sweet Auburn, Where a littlo head stono stood How tho flukes woro folding it goutly, As did robins tho babes in tho wood. Up opoko our own littlo Mabel, Saying, "Father who multes it snow?" And I told her of tho good All-father, Who oaves for us all below. Again I looked at tho snow full, Aud thought of tho louden sky That arohed o'er our first great sorrow, When tho mound was heaped so high. I remembered tho gradual patience That fell from that cloud liko snow; Flakoby flako, healing and hiding Tho scar of that deep-stabbed woo. Aud again to tho child I whispered, "Tho snow that hushoth all, Darling, tho merciful Father Alono can make it full." Then, with oyos that saw not, I kissed her; And sho kissing book, could not know That my kiss was given to her sister, Folded oloso under deepcuing snow. WASHINGTON, November 18.-Tho re port of Uuitcd States Treasurer Gilfillan, mudo public to day, speaks of tho fisoul yoar just cuded as ono characterized by groat transactions iu connection with the refunding of tho war loans, and with the resumption of specie payments after a sus pension of seventeen years. Tho report shows that tho aggregate of gold coin and bullion aud silver coin mid bullion, including standard silver dollars, in tho treasury has iucroascd from ?01,452, OOO iu 1870, to ?114,401,000 in 1877, to ?108,909,000 iu 1878, and to ?222,807,000 in 1879. Tho aggregate of note oesosts, including credits iu depository banks on other than loan acoount, has decreased from 808,419,000 in 1870, to 888,772,000 in 1878, and to $59,090,000 in 1879. Tho most constant influcnco in thc doorcase of tho noto bataneo is that whioh proceeds from tho purohaso of silver bullion for coinage. Sinco resumption tho treasury has boon doprived, by the receipt of ooiu paid for bullion, of United States notes amounting probably to aoven per cent, of tho annual revenues. This porooutago is grouter than thc margin between public reooipts and expenditures, und apart from other influences it would in timo render the balanoo io tho treasury lirst exclusively metallic und then exclusively silver. This doorcase of rales in tho Irons* ury will continue until there is a limitation or cessation of tho present silver dollar ooinago. Tho silver bullion on hand do oreoscd during tho year from 89,031,000 to ?4,299,000. Thc statement of assois und liabilities of tho government October 31, 1879, shows tho following aggregates: Assets ?274,807, 574, liabilities ?123,820,530. Amount available for resumption ?151,047,044. At tho closo of tho fiscal year 1879, tho nggregalo amount of United States notts iu circulation was ?340,081,000. Of such notes of ull denominations Micro were ro deemed during tho year ?04,107,000. Tho total ooinago of standard silver dol lars is $45,200,000, of which amount ?32, 203,000 is in tho mints and treasury o (ii cos and ?13,002,000 in circulation, tho latter hoing 28? per cent, of tho total coinage, as against 20 9 10 per cent, of tho total ooiuago in circulation at thc same dato lust year. Treasurer Gilfillan says that tho rapid appreciation of silver bids fair to solve thc silver problem for this country, and ho ex presses tho opinion that if thu present iu* flucucc.s continuo in operation .silver may recover nearly its former relation to gold. Accompanying thc report ore thc statements of tho us&istant treasurers at Boston und Now York, showing thc transactions of their respective otlices. -- ? . -?. ? ?> WHAT ONE CONGRESSMAN'S VOTE IS WORTH.-A Washington special to thc Cincinnati Commercial soys: "A report has been received hero that it is thc inten tion of Charles II. Vorhis, member of Con gress from tho Fifth District of New der soy, to resign. Ho is a banker, and has rooontly become insolvent. Ho was elected last full by u small majority, in a district that has hciTtoforo been Democratic, and if ho should resign a Domoorat would un doubtedly bo clootod in his place. In that ovont tho representation of New Jersey in Congress would bo th reo Kcpublicans and and four Do m oe ra ts. In cuso tho election of tho next 1'rcsidcut was thrown into tho House, Now Jersey's vote would give tho Domocruts a majority of two. As tho Statos stand now they aro a tio, counting Indiana-in which Do La Mutyr has tho ousting vote-as a Democratic State. As Mr. Vot'hie* voto ia a very important ODO ho will, doubtless, bo dissuaded from rc signing." Thc Elberton (Ga.) Gazelle tells "how to double tho prico of our cotton crops" as follows: Supposing our crops to roach 8,000 bales, at lou couts, it would bring to our 'Opttoiy ?320,000. If this crop was used up by foo to ri es in thc county it would bring, instead of ?320,000, a return of noarly ?700,000. This being tho caso it behooves every furinor in tho county to uso his exertions for tho establishment of cotton faotorics ri/ght hero ut homo. With (hoir crops yiolding suoh handsome amounts, those who aro bchind-hund-slavos to their factors -would soon bo able to throw off tho ohackles of debt and serfdom. .u*i. 1 ?... ?11 ? i* "> ? vr.t'.-"'j'.*if>?'?

Tho SUN will doul with tho ovents of tho year 1880 in its own foehiou, uow pretty well understood by cvorybody. From January 1 until December 31, it will bo conducted us a newspaper, written in tho English luogungo, und printed for tho people. As a newspaper, tho SUN believes in gutting all tho nows of tho world promptly, and presenting ic in tho most intelligible shape-t o shape that will enable its road - nra to keep welt ubrcast of tho agu with tho least unproductive expenditure of limo. Tho greatest interest to thc greatest number -that is, tho law controlling its daily mako up. It now has u circulation very much larger than that of any other Ameri can newspaper, und enjoys un income which it is nt all times prepared to spend liberally for thc benefit of itu reidera. Pcoplo of nil conditions of lifo and nil ways of thinking buy and rend the SUN; and they all derivo satisfaction of som o sort from its columns, for they keep on buying and reading it. In its comments ou mou und nfiYirs thc SUN believes that tho only guido of policy should bc corJfjtfon sense, inspired by genuj ino Amcrioorr^Sri'ioiplcs and bucked by honesty of purpose. For this reason it is and will continuo to be, absolutely indepen dent of party, class, clique, organization or interest, lt is for all, but of nono. It will continue to praiso what is good and reprobate what is evil, taking caro that its language is to tho point and plain, beyond tho possibility of being misunderstood. It is uninfluenced by motives that do not ap pear on tho surface; it has no opinions to sell, save those which may bc bad by any purchaser with t/vo couts. It hates injus tice and rascality even moro than it hates unnecessary words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and deplores nincompoops of every Ppcoics. It will continue throughout tho year 18S0 to chastise tho first olass, instruct tho second, und discountenance tho third. All honest men, with honest convictions, whether sound or mistaken, ure its f ionds, Aud the SUN makes no bones of tollint? the truth to itu friends ami about its friends whenever occasion mises fur plain speaking. '1 hese aro tho principles upon which thc SUN will bo conducted during tho year to como. Thc year 1880 will bo ono in which no patriotic American can allon! to close his eyes lo publie uflairs. It is impossible to OXnggerute the importance of thc political events which it hus in store, or tho necessity of resoluto vigilance on the part of every citizen who desires to preservo the Govern ment that the founders gave ns. Thc debutes and acts ofCopuross, thc utter ?noes of tho press, tho exciting contests of the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strength throughout the country, the varying drift of puhlio senti ment, will all bear directly and effectively upon thc twenty fourth Presidential elec tion, to bo held in November. Four yours ago next November the will of tho nation, as expressed at thc polls, was thwarted hy an abominable conspiracy, the promoters and beneficiaries of which still hold the offices they stole. Will tho crime of 1870 bo repented in 1880? Tho past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagant and insolent Administration intrenched at Washington. Tho SUN did something toward dislodging tho gang ?nd breaking tts power. The same mon aro now intrigu ing to restore their loader and themselves to places from which they wero driven hy thc indignation of tho people. Will they succeed? The coming year will bring the answers to those momentous questions. Tho SUN will be on hand to ohroniolo tho facts ns they ure developed, and to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their relations to expediency und right. Thus, with u habit of philosophical good humor in looking ut tho minor affairs of life and in great tilings a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of tho people und tho principles of thc Constitution against all aggressors, tho Hus is prepared to write a truthful, instructive, and at tho ramo time entertaining history of 1880.
