Fronting by Experience.

The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Guth-
RE, has been experimenting, evidently with
the object of ascertaining whether some OBJ
iections Wings have made to the Sub Treas
ury Law, be really so well founded as might
be supposed. The Law itself provides very
distinctly for carsing transfers of money
under the law. to different points; but Mr.
Walker, Mr.. Folks Secretary of the Trea-
sury, saw the complete folly of the proceed
ing, SO he lodged the provision, and estao-
lfshed the practice of making the transfers oy
means of drafts-selIing drafts to RESPONSE
Bile parties on the point from which they
wanted the funds removed. But Mr.. Guth.
RE seemed too deeply died in Locofocoism to
dodge any prov sion Of good Locofoco mea-
sure. He therefore was not satisfied TO
leave well enough alone, but must needs try
how curting the money over the country
would do-so the coin has been boxed up,
placed under the charge of we'll paid special
messengers. and toied from point to point a,
heavy expense. The Wing papers ridIculed
the experiment. The Washington Union
and Louisville Democrat upheld it warmly
and demonstrated to their entire satisfaction
that the experiment would work admirably.
The experiment went on, and one of the
irst things dole under it, was to send from
New York to st. Louis S5oO,0O0 in gold, at
an expense, of S6,25O, at the very moment
when the merchants of st. Louis, in conse-
quence of the scarcity of Eastern exchange
and the premium upon it, were shipping gold
to New York to pay for their new pure hases,
or to provide to liquidate their previous indeb-
tedness.
Other transfers were made, the Seer etary
still persisting, and Locofoco organs backing
him, until finally Mr.. Guthrie saw for himself
that it would be folly longer to persist in
what he even insisted the law required. So
he has, like sensible man, acknowledged
his error, and returned to the old plan. To-
be-sure the treasury has suffered good many
thousand dollars by the Secretary's 10 We OF
experiment, but as he is not WING, it don't
make any diff rence-nobody will talk about
it more than merely to state the fact. The
honest editors of the Union and Democrat,
certainly will have very little more 10 say on
this beautiful experiment, and may hereafter
lumber up their columns with other matter
than articles TO prove this absurdity '.just the
thing" But they will no doubt find plenty
of other absurd experiments to advocate
They don't profit by experience, quite so we'll
as the honorable Secretary.
