Government then relieves the people Of all
farther trouble On the score of a redundant cur
rency BY simply taxing he present circulation
cut Of existence.
All authority 70 issue treasury notes, heTeto-
fore conferred upon tao Secretary of the Treas-
ury, IS to csase en- tbe irst Of April but tAia
officer Is authorised to issue new class Of notes,
to be exchanged tor the old at the rate Of two
for ihres ia value The intention Of this pToyi-
sion s.clearly to limit tbs issui1g of new notes
to the single purpose Of exchange for he old.
If respected ia its spirit the amount Of the new
issue cannot exceed an aggregate te b asesE-
tanned By deducing from two-thirds Of the pres
ent circulation ihs amonnt which shall be fund
ed in four per cent bonds snd paid IN taxes
which mast be at lesst one-shird more. Il is,
therefore, quite probable that the effect Of the
new law will be to reduce the existing cireula-
ton By at least twO.thirds Of rs present volume.
Ia this case, no new and extrsneous cause pre-
venting the public viii fnd to its surprise, that
after paying the heavy taxes now imposed on
them and purchasing large amount Of tour per
cent bonds, the money left in circulation, though
only cne-third the former amount, viii COM
msnd as much property, each dollar buying as
much ~ three did before.
70 meet the expenses Of Government and
provide the treasury with abundant means, two
provisions are embraced IL tha new law: FIRST
the Secretary Is authorized to issue iFe hundred
millions Of SIX per cent. boEds, the principal
and interest whereof win be free from taxation,
for which are pledged 81 import duties, and all
export duties to be hereafter laid on cotton, se-
bacco and naval stores; these duties to be paid
heIe1fser in specie, sterling exchanges, or con
pous of the new bonds These bonds may be
sold or hypothecaied by the Secretary, and MAJ
be couponor registered Second, the Secretary
is further auiherizld to pay for any purchase:
made By Government, where the public creditor
consents, with certificates Of debt, bearing siz
per cent interest, payable two years after
treaty Of peace, transferable only by specis
endorsement, and exempt from taxation IN prin
cipsl and interest.
Gail certificates are to stand precisely on th'
! footing Of the existing currency Tor which they
were given; with the exception thsi those issued
under the act CT March %, 1868, which entitled
them 10 be 'desmed bonds" srs TO be replaced
by bonds according to the terms Of that act
The banks may pay off their deposisogs il
the four por cent bonds in which the present
circulsiion is iundable, and these bonds thu
paid sus by the banks may be exchanged q

Dubuuvs shiy Canal Cenv.>ti>,.

In another column We give the call fos
this meeting. A large body Of influential
western and, we hope, eastern men will be
there. Hon. W. |. Gilchrist of the Iowa
House Of Representatives,, and chairman Of
the initiatory committee, was selected to
extend personal invitation to members
Of the Wis. Legislature to attend the Du.
buque assemblage. The action taken on
Mr.. G.'s tender Of an invitation can bc
seen by perusal Of the proceedings Of
the Wis. Senate on March 3Oth; the com.
mittee reported the following, which was
adopted
WHEREAS, The House Of Representatives
Of the State Of Iowa, by q resolution dulY
authenticated under the seal of said State.
through the Hon. W. I. Gilchrist, one of
its members, has transmitted to the Leyis
lature Of Wisconsin an invitation to attend
the North western Ship Canal Convention,
appointed to meet at Dubuque on the LIST
Wednesday Of May next and yv.
WHEREAS, The object Of said Conpen-
ton, in our estimation, is one Of not only
vital Importance to the great commercial,
agricultural, and other industrial interests
Of our State, and an imperous necessity to
a speedy and full development Of the vast
resources Of our sister State of Iowa and
Of the entire North west in times Of peace
but one which in times of war may be de-
veloped into speedy, cheap and sure means
of defence to populous cities and thousands
of miles Of now almost defenceless frontier;
therefore
RssolUed, The Assembly concurring that
we hail with much qualification SO vigorous
manifestation in behalf of so worthy and
patriotic an object by our sister State, and
hereby recommend that as many of the
members of this Legislature, as convenient
ly can, as well as Of other citizens through.
out tho State, attend said convention and
we hereby pledge oar sympathy and hearty
cooperation in all that can contribute to
secure success to the result Of its enlight-
ened deliberations.
ResOleed, That we tender to the House
Of Representatives Of Iowa and the friends
Of this movement our thanks for the privi-
lege of thus participating in the promotion
Of an interest Of such stupendous magni-
tude and Of such vital and enduring interest
to our own State, the Northwest and our
common country.
Resolred, That the clerks Of the Senate
be directed to transmit to the Hon. W. I.
Gi'christ at McGregor, Iowa, an engrossed
copy of the foregoing preamble and resolu.
tions, duly authenticated by the Secretary
Of State, to be by him presented to the
House Of Representatives of Iowa, and to-
the said canal convention if he shall deem
it advisable.

TIE Chatfield, Min, Democrat publishes
the following account of most remarka-
bic child:
There is bright eyed boy in this village
by the name OF V. II. Eddy, years Of
age, who is wonderfully gifted with the
multiplication of figures. Although he
can neither read, write, or distinguish one
figure from another, he will answer instant
ly any question in the multiplication table
correctly, and will go on to 80 times 80,
etc. Ask him question, for instance,
"how much is II times ?" and he fixes
his eyes upon yours, or some other object,
and naudbly commences the calculation
in his head, with slight movement of the
lips, and in few seconds he will invaria-
bly, give you correct answer. lie is real
ly remarkable and promising child, whose
equal We have never seen or heard Of The
man that made the multiplication table
will have to try again, as it is entirely to
old fogy for our year olds.

The Printer.
| The printer is the adjutant of thought,
and this explains the mysteries Of the won
derful word that can kindle home as no
song can-that word "we," with hand in
the Printer are engineers together. Engi-
neers, indeed When the little Corsican
bon. barded CadiZ at the distance of five
miles, it was deemed the very triumph of
engineering. But what is that paltry range
to this, whereby they lombard the ages
| yet to be?
There at the case he stands and marshals
into line the forces armed for truth, clothed
in immortality and English. And what
can be more noble than the equipment of
thought in sterling SaXon-Saxon with the
ring of spear on shield therein, and then
commissioning it when We are dead to
move gradually on to "the last syllable Of
recorded time ~ This is to win victory
from death, for this has no dying in it.
The printer is called a laborer, and the
office he performs is toll Oh, it is not
work, but sublime rite he is performing
when he th.s sights" the engine that is
to fling a worded truth in grander curve
than missiles ever before described filings
It into the bosom of an age unborn. He
throws off his coat, indeed we but wonder
the rather, that he does not put his shoes
from off his feet, for the place on which he
stands is holy ground.
A little song was uttered somewhere
long ago it wandered through the twilight
feebler than star; it died upon the ear;
but the printer takes it up where it was
lying there in the silence like wounded
bird, and he sends it forth from the Ark
that had preserved it, and it flies into the
future with the olive branch of peace, and
around the world with melody, like the
dawning of Spring morning. -Bayard

Prophecy.
In a speech lately delivered in Congress:
by Hon. l. N. Arnold Of Chicago, the fol-
lowing remarkable passage occurs
Here l will pause a moment to state a
most remarkable prediction made by Doug.
las, in January, 1861. The statement is
furnished to me by General G. B. Stewart.
of New York, a gentleman Of the highest
responsibility
Douglas was asked by COL Stewart, (who
was making New Years call on MIR.
Douglas What will be the result of the
effort OF }, frrs'n Davis and his associates
to divide the Union?' Douglas replied
1.-The cotton States are making an effort t"
draw in the border States to their schemes
Of secession, and am too fearful they will
succeed. II they do succeed, then will be
the most terrible civil war the world has
ever seen, lasting for years. Virginia will
become chaInel house but the end will
be triumph of the Union cause. One Of
the first efforts will be to take this capital,
to give them prestige abroad but they will
never succeed in taking it. The north will
rise en- masss to defend it; but it will be.
come city of hospitals the churches will
be used for the sick and wounded and
even this house and the Minnesota block
(now the Douglas IIospitaD may be devot-
ed to that purpose before the end Of the
war;" Gen. Stewart inquired: "What
justification is there for all this ?" Douglas
replied: "There is no justification, nor
any pretence Of any. If they will remain
in the Union, | will 60 as far as the Con-
stitution will permit to maintain tter just
rights, and do not doubt but a majority
of Congress will do tho same. But" said
he, rising on his feet and extending his
arms, "if the Southern States attempt to,
secede from the Union without further
cause, am in favor Of their having just so.
~ as they can hold at the point Of the bay
onet and no more"
