CONNECTION OR. NJ. WHITNEY
WITH TIE TREASURY.


Our rcadcrs will recollec the pains lakenbv W hit
nev, by the Globe, and by all the organs, to make
the impression ON the public mind that there was
no connection between Whitney and the Treasury.
This was the reason assigned by the party in the
House Of Representatives, why tie Resolution ot
Mr. Wise should not pas. Whitney WAS represented
a mere private individual, unknown TO the
Treasury and nnconncctcd with it, The Treas
itrg Department has, from It's Official connection
with the Globe given its sanction to these state
mcnts of the Globe, and has thus given additional
evidence OF the truth of the fact, stated by mem
Der of the Senate in his place, that there no
dependence to be placed on any thing coming
from the Department. What dependence can
be placed on ii when it eycs itssanction 10 the false
hood, of the Globe
The flowing article iom the Missouri Repub-
can, will show what dependence is TO be placed
on the declarations Of the Globe, or the sanctions
OF the Treasury Department on the excuses
made lor the Secretary OF the Treasury and for
Whitney, BY the party in Congres.
ruE PUBLIC MONEYS.
II will be recucctcd that the Globe in the
month of September last, published the details of
an arrangement made by the different Dcposiie
Banks, by which the long promised " better cur
rcncy," as that paper then STYLED it, was to be
secured 10 the country. The details, we have
j ShlI, were gwen, bilt IL ulu not appear llidt me
arrangement was the fruit Of Renbtn W. winners
Iabours nor has this fact 80 far we know. been
alluded 10 at any time. Such, however, was the
case. \ new Van Buren, paper has been recently
started II Palmyra, IN this State, called the Marion
! journal the first No. OF which confirms com
munieation from " VI. Bia,KEr, Receiver otPuhe
/ Moneys for tllat District, IN which Circular
cmbodying the whole arrangement, with n>lruc-
tons from X. NJ. Whitney, is inserted. The Re
ccivcr commcnces with these remarkable words
: Il am instructed to receive in payment lor Public
Lands, the notes onhr following Banks : and then
copies the circular, dated, Washington, August
y, 1870
The opcnjn. paragraph, which, as well as those
parts inserted below, was Impressed by the Globe,
reads thus:
have the pleasure TO inform Vou that since
my circular 10 YOU Of the 10Th june last, | lave
+ received communications from tie greater part
OF the DepoSe Banks upon the sub cct o. redeem
ing such of their notes in New York and Phila-
del pa, as may be received onde postc from Rccci-
of proceeds OF Public Lands as well as rcceiv-
iug from such Receivers the notes of such
al the Opposite and other Banks rs redeem the
same either in New York or phadclpl a =; aud
am now enabled to communicate to you the ar
rangemenrs made with the following Banks
Then follow the arrangements announced, and
which we have already published. Mr. Whitney
oosSeS his circular by saying
These arrangements have been entered into
with the understanding and full reliance that each
Bank will act towards the other in fairness and
with the most sacred fidelity. That no one will
call upon any other to redeem their notes which
have not been received from the Public Receivers,
| or in payment oil public dues, in cases where the
Banks have extended the limitation that tar
have forwarded copy of this to each of the
Public Receivers, and | have no doubt but they
will all act with such fairness, that no injustice
will be done TO any of the Dcpositc Banks.
Sh0aM ii crer be ohCrrise, and any Of tie baakS
hare cause To frcI 0gsrifrtd AN AUTHORISED
ny THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY TO SAY,
THAT HI WILL TAKE THE MOST PROMPT MEA-
SuREs TO REMOVE ANY JUST CAu or COMPLAINT.
1t iseXpcctcd by all the Banks which have come
into the arrangement, that when one forwards for
redemption, at the place named, the notes of any
other Bank it will, at the same time, inform suc
Bank the amount which it has thus sent forward
would suggcst that in case any one of the De-
poSe Banks, which have not entered into this ar
rdngcmrn!, shall hereafter do so, they commune
cate the terms, &c. to me, that the same may be
communicated to the Others as well as tothe Pub
, lie Receivers.
As it will greatly increase the security against
countcricits, would suggest that each Deposit,
Bank which has, or may enter into this arrange
. mcnt, forward TO each of the other Dcposc Bank
and 10 each ofthc Public Receivers, the signature
of their respective Presidents and Cashiers For
this purpose, forward with this list of the Pub
lie Receivers, with the places of their residence
am, very respectfully,
