A NATIONAL PAPER CuRRENcY.-There
is probability that several hundred mil
lions of Treasury Notes. Of all denomiua'
tions, reaching as low as one dollar. will
be authorized by the present Congress.
This will be an excellent measure, and
will do away with the bills of all worth
less Banks. Indeed, many of the leading
Eastern Banks are now suspending specie
payment.
The old Wing idea Of National Bank
was. to obtain q convenient paper curren-
cy, that woald pass in all parts of the
country as readily as gold and silver. and
would not be subject to ruinous deprccia-
tion. from trivial causes. in localities dis
tant from the place of issue. and which
could not be broken down by the contri-
vances of brokers and shavers. This
Treasury Note system is just the thing.
exactly. The Democratic doctrine of
gold and silver is very nice, as long as
peace and prosperity reign; but when the
country is beset by calamity and over
shadowed with gloom, then the good old
Wing policy must be resorted to. Bank
and Tariff bring everything out straight
in the end.

PLAYED Our" Went up a rocket"

mont's military career in Missouri. No
other man ever started out with so fair
prospect before him. and no one ever in
spired greater enthusiasm among the
masses. Not that he had ever performed
any deed to warrant it, but everybody
expected that he would accomplish won
ders. Only FIVE years before. he had. in
the same manner. been fished up from
obscurity, made tremendous run for the
Presidency, and as suddenly became in
visible again.
Lyon and Mulligan were sacrificed,
and Price was permitted to take himself
ont of harms way. Fremont has never
offered good excuse for permitting these
disasters. and probably never will. 1t
was found necessary to cut short his mil
itary career. and he felt himself an injured
man. But instead of submitting. as .
true martyr should. what does be do ?
On his journey to Washington, he takes
all the large cities in his route. where i'm
meuse demonstrations are arranged for
him. He knew that these meetings were
intended to get up indignation against.
and to pass resolutions denunciatory Of,
the National Administration. But what
of that! They would CRAFTY his vanity.
and be soothing balm for his wounded
ambition. He has reached his Journeys
end, and suddenly we hear no more Of
Fremont. He has gone into retiracy. all

exhibited his wounded honor. In retire

General on Colonel's commission. He
wanted to be Brigadier General. but to
accept it. would throw him out Of the
Senate. Thereapou. he obtained Col
onel's commission from the Governor of
Indiana: but his strikers attempted to
create the belief that he was to be inves-
ted with the powers Of Brigadier Gen
eral. Now. he has been appointed .
Brigadier, and the same strikers try to
stuff the public that he is to rank as q
Major General, with Major-Generals
staff. At the same time. he is announced
as . candidate for reelection to the Sen
ate. At . time like this, why cannot
Lane throw aside the demagogue. and
act higher part. for which be is fitted :!
w hen our Government wants Major
Generals it commissions them. and does
not appoint Brigadier- Generals to per-
form M.jor-Generals' duties. Neither
does it give Colonels the rank of Briga-
diers, that they may continue to hold
some political Office, and maintain their
supremacy in local politics. We like
Lanes style Of fighting, but never did
take any stock in him politically.

GREEDY.-1t is stated that Gen. Lane
will resign his seat in the Senate. in order
to accept the appointment Of Brigadier
General; and at the same time it is an
nounced that he will be a candidate for
reelection to the Senate. II he desires to
be member of the Senate, why will he
resign? Perhaps he thinks himself enti-
tied to half dozen fat offices, and imsg-
ines that he can be q Brigadier and Q
Senator both at the same time, in spite ol
the Constitutional provision to the con-
trary. We have heard more probable
shuttle s)yly limited at, to the effect that
Lane will hold on to the Senatorship un-
til the last moment, and offer for re-elee-
tion, to ascertain whether he can control
a majority Of the Legislature in which
event, he will turn the Senatorship over
to somebody. in consideration for ruling
his ancient enemy, Gov. Robinson, out
of the Executive Chair But he may
miss it there; for there is such thing as
an appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States.

y ALMOST NABBED.-On Tuesday, the
notorious Captain Chandler. the Jay

Hotel. where they engaged in conversation
with q crowd Of persons there collected.
Notice of their arrival was conveyed to

the river, who just then happened to be
coming down the Bottom with some pris-
oners. Pretty soon the troops made their
appearance in our streets, when Chandler
put spurs to his horse. Several shots
were fred after him, but to no effect, IS
those who fred feared they might hit the
woman, who kept between her husband

mounted horses and started after Chand-
ler. Some distance out Of town they
again came upon him. among the bluffs.

length managed to escape.
