An Incident.

The Springfield News is indebted to a CORES
pondent for the following, which is too good to
be lost, and for the accuracy of which he
vouches:
short time ago, in the loyal city of Philadel-
phia a "largely" dressed female, answering the
description of an F F. V, hailed a street car. and
Just as il stopped to take her aboard. Union
soldier stepped out OF the car. On entering sew
eral seats were vacant, and this would be lady

car going ahead, the ''lady" still unseated, when
the same question was fairly spit out between her
teeth

An honest Hibemian, quietly seated near the
unhappy female, and no doubt being desirous Of
relieving her in some slight degree, replied:

The National Ranks.

The most prominent subject of discussion in
the House of Representatives on Thursday last,
was the new national banks. which are the partic-
ular pets of Secretary CHASE, and form promi-
nent part of his wonderful scheme of finance.
Messrs. BRooKs. KERNAN, and PRUYN, Of this
State, were prominent in the debate, but the
meagerness of the telegraphic report does scant
justice to arguments on important subject.
Mr. CHASE and the advocates of his scheme
are the most logically inconsistent set of men
that ever undertook discuss questions of
finance They pretend to deprecate further
expansion of the currency and yet they have hit
upon the most effective scheme imaginable for
producing further inundations of paper money,
which threaten to spread out boundess as the
ocean and submerge the country. The ne,c
banking system is simply scheme for cOnUerting
BOHdS into currency. To what purpose is il that
the issue of green-backs is limited by law. if by
another law all the bonds which the government
puts uopn the market are converted into cur
rency? The Secretary of the Treasury processes
an anxious desire to sell bonds instead of issuing
more greenbacks because the bonds. being in the
OI an INVESTMENT Dg hOiueFo, 10 nOb
expand the currency with the increase of the
debt But. presto the little jokers which our
financial conjuror shuts up before eyes in
boxes are Immediately aiterward discovered in
the pockets of the spectators All that part of
the debt which, by assuming the form of bonds,
disappears as currency, is Immediately to reap
pear as currency in the form of the notes of the
national banks. When national bank is started
the first thing it does is to send to Washington a
great quantity of governmen, bonds, for which it
receives an equivalent amount of notes, which
notes it Immediately pours into the swollen chan
nels of circulation. There is nothing so alarm
ing in all the financial absurdties of the Treasury
Department.
The greenbacks alone have so debased the
currency as to have nearly doubled The cost of
living. But this proposed conversion of the
whole debt into currency will shortly render what
circulates as money as worthless as the French
assigRGts. The legal tender law alone produced
an initiation far beyond the amount of greenbacks.
By Iegaizing the suspension of specie payments
by all the banks Of the country, it left them at
liberty to issue their notes ip unlimited excess.
Here are some figures, recently published-by Mr..
GALLArIx, which illustrate this tendency. They
are return of the coin and circulation of the
banks at or near Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
