would DO the same, and after another offer had been
made 10 decide upon third referee by drawing names

perhaps gamble his chance. but could not agree TO
submit Mr. Raymond to any 4ll-i4 decision. especially
as that mode was not within power; that we were
referees on question Of Judgment, not chance. and
then read to him Col HIS letter Mr.. Raymond as to
selecting third man.
At our final interview Col HIS referee mentioned
Mr. George W. Blunt as Of those who had person

Who Deprec late the Currency

A correspondent of the Boston Courier
talks thus sensibly about the price of gold
and the cause of its fluctuations,
Sometimes you hear a man say, "Gold is
too high 1t should not command over SO
per cent" Others again estimate its true
value at 30 per cent. And some say 20 per
cent. is about right.
Ii these speculative philosophers would
90 down among the speculative philosophers
in William street, they will learn that gold
is worth about what 1t will bring in green-
backs; and greenbacks will be worth what
they will bring when the war is over.
In short, that gold is always money, and
that grecnbacks may or may not be money
by>and-bye. 1t will be found that althO
certain incidental matters may have a
slight influence upon the relative value Of
the metal and the paper, the true standard
Of difference is the amount of faith which
."Copperheads," Aboitionists and the whole
community have that the sbinplaster cur
rency will be redeemed That amount Of
faith is to day about g. per cent. minus
Ii Grant is victorious it may be only 20 per
cent minus. For it is certain that the
greenback is either worth intrinsically its
face IN gold, or else it is worth quite moth
ing at all. Brokers may figure over the
rate as much as they please, but the armies
OF the North and the South will finally set
tie the vexed question, what is green
back worth2n
Now to assert that "Copperheads" would
like to. see tho greenbacks worthless is to
say that they are either fools or paupers.
Are not our greenbacks as dear to us. We
aboiitlonists, as yours are TO you2 Would
not we; like to get as much beef and bread
with them as we could get with gold? -
That we have not robbed our Uncle Sam
uel as You have done, is true, and therefore
we have not SO many Of his greenbacks,
but what We have are very precious to us
indeed, and nothing could be further from
cur wishes than to see them become mere
waste paper. '
