Mr.. Guthrle,s Warming.

The report Of the Treasury Secretary is a
very interesting State piper bat ls great
length Will prevent ms general peru-al. The
most important portion of 10 rclies loa re-
ducuon Ut duties on imports, which no a.
gam strongly presses upon the attention Of
Congress not only as "a measure 0l sound
policy IN Itself, but as an absolute necessity
in view of the prospective effect of the pres
enl tariff upon the finances and business of
the Whole country. Ia discussing the cur
rency question he says-whit every sound
political economist sees at once Is true
that
The independent treasury may exercise
fatal control over the currency the banks
and the trade OF the country, and will do so
whenever the revenue shall greaiy exceed
the expenditures. There has been expended
since the 4th of March, 1881, more than
; l5,525 600, 10 the redemption Of the public
debt TINS debt has been presented from
time to time as the money accumulated IN
the national treasury, and caused stringcncy
m the money market II there had been no
phbIc debt, aud no means OF dlsbursIng thus
large sum- and again giving 1t 10 the chan.
nels OF commerce, the accumulated sun
would have acted fatally on the banks and
on trade. The only remedy would have
been reduction OF the revenue, there beng

The specie basis Of the whole banking
capital OF the country Mr. Guthrie estimates
At S7OOO0,UU0. Under the importatons Of
the laet year, # There bad been no public
debt TO redeem, more Than half OF this SUN
would have been distracted irom the banks
and locked up IN the Subrreasury, without
any possible mode Of throwing 1t out again
until the ruin aud general prustrauon of the
whole commercial interests of the country
mad ended IN an inability to import az ali,
and the revenue had so fallen Off that this
hoard must be drawn upon for the ordinary
expenses Of the government The people Of
tins country have not yet mad nm opportunity
to witness the crushing powers Of tins mon
ster called the Sub Treasury, but The time Is
not tar distant when they will feel them 10

we trust that every member of tbs present
Congress will carefully consider the brief
warning given by Mr. Guthrie and act upon
1t without delay The time for acton is
short, aud If nothing is done in that time.
there Will be trouble enough before The next
Congress meets. That anything will be
done we have but little faith. It Is not the
custom OF present-day statesmen to look a.
head, or provide against future danger, and
If the members of the present Congress do
so, they will be entitled to more credit for
craftsmanship than we have ever given them

that the President has at las, removed G. W.

place.
Washington, Dec. S.--Tho dispatches
from Gov. Geaty, brought huher by special
messenger, have been officially acted on
The announcement that Judge Lecompte
had been removed by the President on ~at-
urday, Is prem ,ture, although such an event
will probably soon take place.
Washington, Dec. 7.-The Committee Of
ways and Means will hold thor first meet

them last session, Is sci down ten days hence,
but will hardly be called up for consdera
ton until alter he holidays. Il proposes a

his recognition of Walkers Nicaraguan gov

says;-
"a gentleman just from Missouri states
that Hon. Thomas II. Benton and Hon. H.

The Bolrd is now in session in ac-

One important fact transplred, and that is
that there has already been established, by
the energy of New York house, nearly
complete uniformity in textbooks in all the
schools of the State--good books into the
bargain. With this a vintage at the start,
