Secretary of the Treasury has finally decided that the 10.000,000 of silver dollars now in tbe vaults tuuHt go out. To accomplish this he has caused to be issued a circular, which! provides that silver dollars may be obtained by any person in the iame manner in which fractional silver Currency can now be obtained. Secretary herman long htsitsfed before, he could decide do It was KBgcested to him, and urged tapon him many weeks ago. before he left Washington on hia vacation toUr. His decision jfnust have boen eudden.

as he yesterday stated, In response to inquiry as to how the should bo put in circulation, if at all, that he had not given the subject any thought. His objection has always been that to authorize the issue of silver dollars would be simply to disburse them at one window of the Treasury and receive them at another for Customs dues. But the Secretary has determined to make the experiment. It i true the circular states that the sole purpose is to facilitate the circulation of the standard silver dollars aa currency, and not that they may he received for Customs, either by themselves or in the form of silver certificates. The officers who are to receive deposits of currency as a basis of obtaining the silver dollars are expected to see that that object is carried out but these officers will not have detective power to follow every silver dollar that is paid out by any Sub-Trcasuiy or depository, and If even the person first receiving the dollars could be forbidden to use them for Customs purpows, it would not be possible to run to the person to whom, in tbe course of the person receiving them might transfer them.

The Treasury proposes. In fact, to send but at its own expense for transportation silver dollars in sums of not less than $1, OOO, or more than 10,000, to any person who may make corresponding deposits in currency with any. Sub-Treasury, designated depository, oi national bSnk.dt signaled as a depo itory. In addition to that, for the present at least, all national bank' notes sent for redemption in of $1,000, and not exceeding $10,000 will be redeemed in standard silver dollars. means undoubtedly tbe beginning of rexumption in silver dollars.

The Treasury authorities are of opinion that tbe Treasury has margin enough of gold to meet all the current necessities for the payment of the gold interest, and that tbe gold rt-eipts rom Cu stout, in addition to tbe percentage of Customs which, by any possibility nisy be paid in silverdollars will be ample for future gold demands npon tbe Treasury, until that expected day when the paper dollar, silver dollar, and gold dollar are to circulate on a parity. This ia the interpretation of the Treasury circular relative to tbe ib which standard silver dollars may be obtained for circulation in exchange for currency, that will be furnished to the rei to-night. I'nder the operation of this circular, it is confidently expected that the ten million silver dollars now in the easury vaults will soon go into the volume of the circulation, and while it is probable that a very considerable amount will again be returned to the Treasury ad 'untonm dues, the Treasury confidently expects that a larire pro-; portion will remain in general circulation. Meanwhile, it i said not to be the purpose to witndraw'from circulation tbe one and two dollar notes, and it is authontively stated that any person can receive any doired quantity of these notes on application at the Treasury. The second administrative act of special significance is the decision of Secretory Schurx ia the matter of the appeal of the Union Pacific snd Ksnsas Pacific Railroads trom his recent, decision in the Dudymott land grant case.

The application of the roads was for or suspension of judgment, on the ground that those two roads, on account of cert in terms in their organic acts, could not come Within the, purview, of Mr. Schurz's first decision. The Secretary's, ruling on tbe appeal, to-day, is that those roads are not exempt. Snd that the decision will neither be t-eversed nor suspended. Tbe practical effect of this decision will be that no reversal or suspen-.

sion will be ordered ss to any pf the land grant roads, and that the only remedy whicti these roads have, if any, is by decision in their favor by the United States Supreme Court. Tbe jrailroads will, undoubtedly, soon have recourse to that tribunal. Meanwhile the effect of the first decision is very noticeable at the General Land Office. A vast number of applications fur entry of homesteads have been made within the domain of tbe land grant roads in Kansss, XebrasKa, and other Western States, i Settlers are not disposed to await the action of the court before gaining the final affirmative title, but are resting their prospects in. confidence that the Supreme Court will sustain Mr.

decision. 1 They are entering large tracts of land in favorable localities. I 1 AS IMPORTANT RAILROAD SUIT. ARGUMENTS TO BE HEARD IX BALTIMORE TO-j DAT IX THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD BOND SUITS -THE QCESTIOX OF THE COURT'S JUBISDICTIOX TO BE RAISED. TXoxtcA le tto Ktw-Yer CTmta.

1 Baltimore, Sept, 3. A most important casewill.be beard to-morrow morning before Judge Bond, of the United States Circuit Court for the District of South Carolina, sitting in Chambers in Baltimore. Certain bondholders of the South Carolina Railroad Company will move for an injunction to restrain the holders pf the second mortgage bonds from disposing Of the bonds held by them as collateral security for retiring of the floating debt, and will also pray for i the appointment of a Receiver for the road. The array of counsel engaged in the case is a very long one. Ex-Gov.

Chamberlain, T. Corbin. Mr. William Stone, and Messrs. Mitchell and Smith, of Charleston, 8.

have been retained by the plaintiffs, and Messrs A. S. Me rrmth and James Connor by the railroad eom-tanv. The other parties to tbe suit are the Trustees of the first snd second mortgages, tbe non-mortgage bondholders, tbe syndicate, the People's National Bank of Charleston. S.

C.and tne Greenville and Columbia Railroad. The authority of the Judge to grant the order asked for will be strongly resisted, snd the defendants will, it is said, raise the question of jurisdiction on the following line of argument, namely. Tbe ease is now pending with the pleadings ail made up in the Circuit Court of the United States for South Carolina, and is ready for trial. The power of the Circuit Court is conflned to the territorial limits ot the District of South Carolina, and tbe power of the Judge being tbe power of the court, it follows that if the court cannot exercise its power In the msnn.r asked for bv the complainants, the Jndge is also preheated from such eaereiee of power. Were it otherwise, this would involve tha proposition that the power of the Judge is greater than that of the coutt from which be derives the right to exercise that power in a given ease.

The question will be strongly and involving as it does novel points of law, is looked forward to with much interest. j. )- i TEE PRANKS OF AN INSANE MAN. tpttal fWejea-S to tto Xeir-Tork Ttmm. I Hartford, Sept.
