THE INDEPENDENT TREASURY.

The great advantage Of the constitutional or sub
treasury system made very manifest by the present
financial crisis. Had the old plan of deposting the
revenues of the Government with banks been in
operation, the Government would not have beeni a
condition afford the relief it is enabled to do
and is doing through its able Secretary of the Trea-
sury for the Government would have been in as bad
a condition as any other depositor. Besides the
banks holding the money Of the Government would
have increased their discounts in proportion to the
amounts of their deposits, and thereby stimulated
speculation and overradng. The crash would,
thereby, have far more extensive than at present,
and doubly severe. And that is one Of the great
mischiefs Of the Govcrnment-National or State
making banks the repositories of its funds. The
United States Government being its own depository
and not dependent either the favor solvency of
any bank, is not only unaffected by such disaster
a. the country is experiencing, but is in
dtion that it contribute very materially to its
relief
The wisdom Of the present financial system Of the
General Government is now universally conceded;
and few there are who are so Indifferent the les
sons of experience as recommend departure from
it 1t is based upon sound practical principles Of
political economy and the more will it win on
sound, popular confidence

THE SURPLUS RENENTE-

There was an immense amount Of talk during the
last political canvass in Tennessee about the sur
plus revenue in the Treasury, and the great good it
would accomplish if it only given to and di-
Tded out among the several States for Railroad and
Common School purposes. The public will remepl-
Der the inflated arguments that were then made
The recent financial revulsion shows how absuI d
and reckless the propositions of such theorists
The Sub Treasury at Washington and the abundan
products Of farmers are now the only savati on
Of the country. Millions of gold have recently
been paid out of the Treasury upon Government
stocks which heretofore could not be bought up;
thus reducing the public debt and at the same time
materially relieving the blunders which rotten pa
per currency has imposed.
We have heretofore complained that the revenue
flowing into the Treasury too great, and with
the yew Of lessening it the new tariff BILL lessen
ing the duties upon articles Of importation, was
passed by the last Congress. The present financial
crisis will materially lessen our foreign importations
and consequently reduce the revenue arising there
from To what extent cannot yet be ascertained,
but certainly quite fas! enough to abandon all ex-
pedients for sQuandering it.

THE CRISIS AND THE BANKS.

Under the above caption we publish an interest
ing communication from a gentleman thoroughly
skilled in the mystery of banking. While we are
not prepared to endorse his suggestion as to the
proper and only mode of relieving the banks, we
most unhesitatingly concur with him in conclu-
sion: that "public confidence is worth more to
banks than their coin" And the same may be said
of Lotteries Faro Banks, and every species of Ii
censed and unlicensed gambling known to the laws.
Confidence" is every thing 1t makes but little
difference how rotten the system or how compare
lively small the capital they 90 upon, so long as
they can retain the confidence" Of the unintiated
Their paper prom Bes are received and passed around
from hand to hand the representative of specie
basis, and so long this confidence continues, the
world will be none the wiser, and the banks will be
doing most prosperous business
But the question is, are the banks here or else
where entitled to public confdence?" This inter
rOgatory is now being pretty thoroughly tested. The
elements of substantial wealth are seen on every
hand there has been no vast and widespread de-
struction of property by fire or food; no heart
breaking distress caused by scarcity and famine
On the contrary every thing is abundant and in the
midst Of it has cone a crash. Where from If
the banks have been doing business in proper
manner-if they have not been gambling snd specu-
latng with their fcticious credit-f they have not
been making enormous loans to spectators, mono
pOiss and other leechers that seek to amass prncey
fortunes from the labor of the great mass-there
was not the slightest necessity for this general alarm
and depression in every department of business.
But We conclude that the sequel will show hat
the banks not entitled to this public co nfi-
dence;" and if we should do nothing to luIl the
people again into this anced secury but limiting
patiently to present evils, take such steps for the
future as viii in reasonable time entirely relieve
as from this false and pernicious system, and re-
store the country to its legitimate and constitutional
