Chase has moro MONEY 1han he wan,..

Chase has moro Money than he Yauts.
Government, says the Herald of Monday, is
now receiving at very low rate of interest more
money than is required for the payment of the
entire expenses of the war On Friday and ycs-
terdsy the receipts at this point alone Of money
on deposit at per cent. on call exceeded mil
lion per day, which supposes at least a million
and quarter at all the sub-treasuries The re-
ceipts for conversion for the past day or two
have averaged $750000 per day, and it may
fairly be assumed that the average will not fall
below $500000 from this out, SO long az the
money market is undisturbed. Add to this
$300,00O day from internal taxes-a very low
Iaverage-and we have an aggregate revenue Of
/ 81, 100000 day-more than the total war ex-
penditure. Besides this, the Government is re-
ceivng over 100000 each working day in gold
from customs, and the bank note companies are
printing $l250,000 day Of paper money
What more could Government wantf So long
as the total expenditures occasioned by the war
are betrayed by voluntary contributions in this
manner. it would be SO obviously impolitic TO
attempt new schemes that it may be safely con
cluded that they will not be tried When the
| $l00,000000 limit of call loans has been reach.
| ed, 1t may be proper TO offer loan, and if we
| have some military successes it will sell well-
In the meantime the obvious policy of the Gov
eminent is to take all the money which is offered
at five per cent and in exchange for 500 bonds,
and to avoid any measure which would have a
tendency check deposits either on call or for
conversation. An issue of interest bearing
Treasury notes Convertible into legal tender,
and therefore practically money! win probably
be made as soon as the limit fixed by law to the
five per cent. deposits has been reached.

Editor JovnGi:--The Company Of Lieuien-
ant J. F. Harrington, Of the I'D Regimcat o. v.
l., presented him, as token of their esteem and
respect, with beautiful sword. 1t cost up
wards Of forty dollars On the hilt was a pearl
scroll, on which was inscribed "The Constitu-
tion," and on the scabbard was engraved the
presentation. The sword was presented on
behalf of the Company by Corporal VIM. @.
Miller, in about the following language,
@Lieuienant Harrington: When we first mot
at Camp Croghan one and half years ago, we
were nearly all strangers to you; yet with a
common cause and true patriotic devotion beat
ing in every breast, all desiring to protect Gov
eminent that was once headed by Washing
ton, Jefferson and jackson, as well as rever-
ed and priced most dearly by our fathers and
mothers, and our friends Of every kin, you have,
by your manly aud solderly conduct, won the
confidence Of every soldier under your COM
mand. Well do we remember the bloody field
of Shiloh; the sege OF Corinth; and the priva-
tons, dangers and sickness you have shared
with us. Nov, in behalf of Company A, pre-
sent you this sword a weapon of war and a
mark of rank. Receive it not as compcnsa-
ton earned, but rather as token OF love- es-
'SShi nOWiDR from tne neafJ OF
every soldier in our Company. Then wear it
in remembrance of the givers, and as the bright
rays of the golden suA now sparkles and glist-
ems, rejecting the character of the instrument
you hold, so may your example ever shine forth
for our imitation, and if necessary may the ene-
my feel its point as they felt the leaden mistles
at Shiloh, and when peace conies,--as come it
must, whether we live to see it or not,-let us
hope TO return TO our friends and homes feeling
that we have done our every duty And when
the birth day OF American liberty is announced
by the black-mouthed cannon as in DAYS of
yore, let us unfurl the emblem of Liberty and
Union, amid spontaneous cheers Of never dying
love for the land Of the free and the home Of the
brave"
Lieutenant H. responded by thanking the
Company heartily for their gift. He desired ev-
er to be worthy of their confidence, and hoped
that the good feeling that had always existed be-
tween the members of the Company might ever
continue. He knew we'll the trials dangers and
disappointments we have met, and braved them
all as only true men could, We had volunteer
ed to defend government that gave us birth,
and which had always protected us in liberty
and property, and never would we shrink from
that duty, but like the gallant band at Fort Ste
phenson, defend it TO the last.
The Company then gave three cheers for the
Lieutenant, and three for the Union, and broke
ranks, greeting one another with compliments
and good luck. A SPECTATOR
