COLONEL FRANCIS p. BLAIR ON THE CoNsERvA-
TIVE PLATFoRx.-Colonel Blair, the present
representative Of the First Congressional dis
trict of Missouri, has announced himself can
didate for reelection, on conservative plat
form, in opposition to the radical abolition
element of the republican party. Mr.. Blair
has been in position at Washington that has
enabled him to understand fully the objects
and intent of the radical portion of the party
and, although at one time counted among their
number, he has now shown to the public that
he no longer travels in their company. The
decision Of Mr.. Blair is only tho COM
meacement Of the reputation by Its most
talented men Of the efforts to turn the party
over body and brooches to the abolition ele-

The BANKRUPT LAw-WML IT Passive
hope Congress will take up this measure and
pass it before it adjourns. 1t has time enough
to do it. The bills before the committees are
carefully prepared from the laws which expe.
riencc has rendered necessary in other coun-
tries, and years elaboration would not be
likely to produce a better system. The bills
proposed combine the interests both of debtors
and creditors, as far as they can be reconciled
in theory. If in the practical working of the
measure some slight amendments should prove
necessary, they can easily be made. The i'm
portant consideration is to set free the energies
Of our active merchants, manufacturers and
artisans. Beside this any error in the bank
rupt law would be mere bagatelle. The
soldiers of the Union army, whether in the new
homes they may select or in the old homes
where their business has been ruined, greatly
need this act of public justice Here is prac.
teal measure, which the domestic troubles Of
the country have rendered necessary, and II
Congress should neglect 1t the whole country
will arrive at the conclusion that the reason il
that Congress has no patriotism, and that no
measure Is acceptable to the majority that is
not Of strong party character. Whatever is
for the common benefit, and absolutely essential
TO the success Of the financial operations of the
government itself, is completely ignored. But
we hope better Of Congress, bad as are our
"reminiscences of its course during the last two
years.

MILITARY GOVERNMENT or LoUrsI ASA.-We
learn that a Provisional Military Governor has
been talked Of for Louisiana. There does not
seem 10 be any necessity for this step. General
Butler is now acting the part Of Military
Governor, and at the same time commander
Of tho army His headquarters are at New
Orleans, and 1t would not do to have divided
command there. General Butler has been
very successful In developing the Union
sentiment in Louisiana. Such is the rush Of
officers and soldiers Of the Confederate army
to give their adhesion to the Union and to
register their names that it was found neces-
sary to extend the time to tho 23d instant, In
order to give the crowd of applicants chance.
Let General Butler, therefore, continue in
supreme command. There is no necessity FOR
any change. His regime works like charm.

The PROPOSED New ISSUE OF TREASURY
NorEs.-A desperate effort is being made by a
few members Of Congress, backed by several
journals and politicians in this vicinity,
to prevent the passage Of the law autho-
rzing new issue Of Treasury notes. con-
slant cry is kept up that the country will
be flooded, and that there will be rapid
imitation, followed by panic and general
financial distress and ruin. The same argu-
ment was used by these nnancisrs both against
the issue Of the green backs and the legal ten
der notes Of February last; but tho result Of
these experiments has in every way been salts
factory, and the very reverse Of the predictions
Of these financial prophets.
The first issue Of the green backs has
long since disappeared from circulation,
and they command nearly as high pre-
MUM ~ gold. The second, or the legal
tender notes, have also become quite scarce
They are eagerly sought for by all classes
and but few are to be had even for the
purpose of being funded into United States
bonds. ABORTION Of this issue Of ninety millions
Is circulating in the Western Substituting the
place Of the currency that was withdrawn by
the collapse Of the Western banks, owing to
the depression of the Southern securities the
basis of the circulation Of those banks-and
they are said to be 50 scarce even there that
they are commanding premium. AS these
notes are convertible into United States
six per cent bonds, capitalists made extensive
preparations to invest them in those securities.
A few millions were in that way funded, when
II was found that business circles were drained,
and that the ordinary business transactions
suffered for the want 81 = circulating medium

The RALEIGH IN O. STANDARD AND THE RICH
MoND ENQURER.-A recent number of the Raleigh
Standard records the fact that there is a bitter
controversy going on between the editor of that
sheet and the Richmond Enqalirer. The editors
of the latter sheet have seen fit to take the
editor of the Standard to task for its plain and
outsp0ken facts in reference to JEFF. Davis and
his so-called Southern confederacy, and its
support of Zebulon B. Vance, the conservative
and anti-Jeff. Davis candidate for Governor.
The Standard answers back as good as 1t
receives, and makes some decided home
thrusts on the State rights party Of the State, as
well as JEFF. Davis q Company at Richmond.
The two gubernatorial candidates are Zebu-
Ion B. Vance and William Johnston; the former
supported by William A. Graham and the con-
servative and Union men of the State, and the
other by the out and out secessionists, the fire.
eating and cotton burning party. The contest
is becoming quite interesting, not only in the
"Old North State" but throughout the So
called Southern confederacy. as is plainly appa
rent by the interest manifested in it by the
Richmond papers. The conservative party
manifest no disposition to yield to the dictation
of the fire-eaters, but, on the other hand, are
conducting the canvass with all the energy in
their power, confident of carrying everything
before them.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1862-06-29

The capitalists are already unable 70 obtain
these notes to exchange for government bonds,
and at the same time there is pressing want
for additional circulating medium.
These facts are sufficient proof of tho fallacy
of the argument raised against the proposed
new issue. The favorable experience of the
public in the past issues has given them full
confidence in the issue now proposed, and
already il is acknowledged that they are actu-
ally needed for the ordinary business transac-
tons. The idea that the country will be ruin
ously flooded by them is perfectly preposter-
Gus. The moment that they become plenty
capitalists will take the favorable opportunity
to invest in government bonds, in which they
are to be made convertible, and thus they will
to that extent be withdrawn from circulation
and cancelled by the government. They thus
not only furnish reliefto business transactions,
but facilitate funding the United States debt.

telegraphic correspondence of the Oincin-
matt Commercial. It makes ones blood boil

There is a marked difference in the
treatment of rebel and Union wounded
officers. Capt Polk, of the rebels, was by
special direction of DR.. Simons, OF the U !.
S. Army, taken into the ladies' cabin of the
steamer City of Memphis and treated with
the utmost attention, being fed upon wines
and delicacies, and made the receiver of at
tention from nurses, while our own officers
of equal rank, were compelled to lie on the
guards and subsist upon pilot bread. DIR.
Simons is directly responsible for this state
of affairs. He is native of South Caro-
slina, and his course is meeting with the
everest condemnation on the part of army
surgeons and others.

FoRT MONROE, April l19.-The Norfolk
Day Book, of yesterday, speaking of the ar
rival of the French Minister at Washing
ton, at Richmond; speculates in regard to
the object of his visit and says it ia Taught
with great significance. The most proba-
bic solution is that French monopoly of
tobacco underlies the whole system.
We believe we declare the popular deter
ninatiOn when We affirm the Confederate
States will not tolerate any diplomacy
which places them beyond the pale of pub
lie law. Let us be true to our honor, and
we shall at least win the acknowledgment
of postsrity that we deserve to be free.
The Day Book of to-day mentions that in
skirmish last night, Col. Mckinney, of a
North Carolina regiment, and rs men were
killed and IS wounded.
There was a very extensive FIRE in Nor
folk last night and it has continued to
burn ell day to-day. Several buildings
were destroyed.

TRIpuNE's DISPATCH.

WAsHIxaToE, April 1s.-It is said on the
authority of intercepted letters from Rich
mond that several editors of rebel
newspapers have been hung for publishing
intelligence, which was contraband Of
war.
A general order from the Adjutant Gen.
erals Office, directs the paymaster to recog-
nize agents, which States may under circum-
stances appoint to receive soldiers pay.
A rumor whichlthe War Department has
not had opportunity to disprove or verify,
is that Gen. Blenker has been seriously
injured by fall from his horse. 1t is not
true that his command has been assigned to
Gen. Rosencranz.
The condition of the Treasury now en-
ables the Secretary to direct payment in
cash, of all claims of date previous to No
vember LIST, 1851, including claims settled
by the st. Louis commission, and 1t is ex-
pected the November claims will also be
paid in full within a few days. All other
claims without regard to date, will be paid
on presentation, if desired, as heretofore, 80
per cent. in cash.
The prospect Of the passage of the Pa.
cifc Railroad bill during the present session
is not promising.

NRw YORK, April 19.-The Herald
Fort Monroe correspondent, under date of
18th says: hear the most cheering news.
From information received from q soldier,
learn that last evening Colonel and
Lieutenant Colonel from the rebel army,
came over our lines and surrendered them
selves as prisoners of war. These officers
report that an entire Irish brigade mutt
MED, and by order of JEFF Davis, were de-
priVed of their arms and sent to the rear.
A letter from Col. Barnes, of the Mssss-
chusetts 18th, received in Boston, states
that the number of the enemy is not
SO large as has been reported and does not
now exceed 10000 or 80, 900 men. Meth
er are their guns of so formidable charac-
ter as has generally been reported. Col.
Barnes further says, our siege guns have
come and before long they will be at work
upon the rebel breastworks. General Nc
Olellan-I hear, is about ready to attack
the place and when he commences the rebels
will not hold out very long. Col. Barnes
ia considered one of the ablest officers In
the service. Many OF the Generals, under
whom he is serving, having graduated at
West Point, under his instructions.
