ton, like the premium upon silver and theipre'
MUM upon nickel cents Silver coin 10 OF o
discount In Canada, and II would be equally
plentiful here did not speculators keep 10 from
the people. Nickel cents are furnished In i'm
mense Quantities by the United States mints at
par for United States money. What, then,
causes the premium upon nick eli Aak the
speculators who buy up these cents in order to
compel retail dealers either to pay twenty per
cent premium for nickel or to issue shlnplas-
ters for all values below half dime With
plenty Of silver in, the oountry--for compara-
lively none has been exported, and none can be
except at loss--and with plenty Of nickel
cents iesued from the miDts, we are without
small change. Why7 Because the "old clo''
shops in Chatham street and the Bowery are
deserted by their owners, who have turned
money gamblers, and hoard small change iol
the premium For the same reason gold Ia a
173, and prices sproportionately high.
There is q noticeable difference between thu
speculations in gold aud those In silver ant
nickel-viz: that gold is really almost unueces
sary In ordinary business transactions. In'
Government needs some gold to pay the inter
est on It's bonds, and importers need some golt
TO nav their duties; but beyond this ineignia
cant demand gold ia In fact drug outside o.

cold is never delivered and mover wanted. a
certificate that go much gold ia deposited in
such place is transferred from the seller e
the buyer, who disposes of it again at an ad'
vance, il he can. If oil the gold purchased IN
Wall street In q week was carted from broker
to broker OF the close of each days sales, oil
the drays in the city would be in reputation :, -
| More than this; men sell gold who never really
own dollar OF it to men Who never truly pos
sees the specie they have bought. A broker'i
promise to deliver so mnch enld st such time
70 saleable, and the broker runs his chances oi
being able to buy the god, before the time ap
pointed, at a less price than that at which he
sold it. At the date agreed upon hesometimef
produces the certificate of deposit for the gold
but generally he only pays the difference be-
tween the premium rates on the day he sold ant
the day he delivers, Consequently, man Wit
has few thousand dollars to pay these "dif
ferences" can buy and sell millions of dollari
worth Of gold The dealings in gold are dom
in paper, therefore-tho paper Of banks, am
bankers, and brokers.

Cassius NJ. Clay and the New York Times


When It was announced that Gen G. M
CLAY, who did not go to war, although HI
sought and obtained commission, was to re-
turn 10 Russia, the New York Times bad some
comments in relation to the matter which sr-
pear to hove given umbrsge to Mr.. CLAY, and
thereupon no writes note to tho Times, which
we append below. From its tone it will be seen
that this Abolition fanatic feels himself strong
with tho President-even 30 strong that he can
without fear snub the Secretary of State in a
most dscourteous and disrespectful manner
Here 10 his note:
NOTE FROM GEN. oAssIU5 NJ. CLAY
wAsHnaroN, D. G., Friday, Feb "a, 1869.
To the Editor Of the Ne,O York Times;
In the Tins of yesterday you have an arti,
Gle styled Russia Made Happy" to which |
desire to say but a word in reply. Ihave moth.
ing to say about the spirit of that editorial to-
ward met Is the same, with all tho rest you
have written in reference to me, while at home
and abroad. do not hold myself above Just
or even unfriendly criticism, as public SER
want. In that sball endeavor to defend my
self by my life-acts, not by words But when
you venture the insinuation that (D che can
serve the Government consistently with his
private sentiments" only In foreign mission,
you misrepresent my "eentiments," and injure
the cause of the country. l told President
Lincoln that l could not and would not enter
the field, except the policy was adopted of lib.
Grating the slaves of rebels. So soon az the
President Issued his Proclamation of the 22i
September, offered my services OF once to
Gen. Halleck. Iwas received In such manner,
that Secretary Chase, who was present, and
who had urged me TO take a command By the
most pressing arguments, was satisfsd as we'll
as myself, that could not serve the country or
my own reputation by entering the service.
Justice to the country aud my own character
for frsnkness demand Of me to say, that re,
gard Gen. Halleck as too intensely Pro. Slavery
to do justice to any man of my views Of the
great political Issues pending. l have done
what could, and | shall do what can, to in
duce the President to put Sen Benz F. Butler
in his place. believe that such charge
would save the Republic millions of men aud
money. Nothing short of that can give the
vigor and effeos to our arms which the crisis
and the public sentiment demand.
How far ."Ruasia shall be made happy" will
appear when your friend w. H. Seward shall
place more OF my correspondence and lees of
his own before the public.
AN your obedient servant,
G. M. CLAY.

The Money Gamblers.

The New York Herald has long Article on
the stock and money gambling which daily &C
curs at the brokers' boards in Wall street, from
which we make the following extract, to shoE
cur readers how the thing is done. 1t will be
observed that it is species Of gambling of the
most pernicious character, in which millions of
coin a:e bought aud sold, without cent of it
changing hands or even being in possession of
the operators. The Herald slys:

As It Should BE.

We understand that very friendly corie-
spondence has passed between Hon. Hugh
Jewett and Hon. G. L. Vallandigham, in which
both express strong desire that the utmost
harmony and good feeling shall prevail be-
tween themselves and their friends. That is as
IL should be. When constitutional liberty and
individual freedom and State rights are in per-
IL, Democrats should not allow any personal
considerations or by cones to stand in the way
OF cordial union of action, to preserve what
alone digni6es, preserves and perpetuates the
independence and manhood of the American
citizen Gin. Enquirer, FEB. 26h.

used will do considerable injury 70 fortihca-
tions constructed OF any known materials
