Don,t Like rhe Currency.

Our neighbor of The State Journal evil
IDENTIFY don't like the present currency. and
talks about it in very ''copperish" way.
In an editorial yesterday, it expressed the
opinion that 1.-The nearer gold can be brought
to par and maintained there, the better for
the country" 1t wants 1.-The return of the
time when butter will seek market at 20
cents" and thinks it would ''be well now
TO have the mints occupied in coming frac-
tional currency, to take the place of its pa
per representative now in use" and it would
persuade the public to believe that "it is
pleasant to anticipate the return of the old
3 fashioned quarters and dimes, and old
fashioned prices, when an honest man may
afford to 60 to market without the neces-
sity of carrying a big basket full of mouey
to purchase what he can bring home in his
pocket"
We accept this tribute to the old-fashion-
ed Democratic currency, by the central or
gan of the Administration party in this
State, as hopeful sign; and we shall soon
expect to hail it as co-laborer in the sane
titled cause of Peace; for alone through
Peace will come into circulation ''old-fash-
ioned quarters and dimes, and old-fashioned
prices, when an honest man may afford to
20 to market without the necessity OF carry
ing big basket full of money to purchase
what he can bring home in his pocket"

Secret Prosecutors.

On the second reading of Mr.. THoMPsoN's
bill in the House, providing for secret
prosecution of liquor sellers, and making it
penal offense to use screens, painted glass
or curtains by liquor dealers, the member
from Richland proposed to add several new
sections, making it unlawful for the Gov
ernment of the United States to license
liquor sellers; and in case of a violation by
the authorities of the United States, of the
provisions of the bill, that it should be held
to be declaration Of war against the State
Of Ohio, and that the Governor Immediately
call into requisition the whole civil and
military power of the State to enforce the
provisions of the law. We fear without
this amendment Mr.. THoMPsoN's bill would
effect but little good. As reform, by force
of arms, is the order Of the day, Mr..
THOMPSON had better accept the amend
ment. 10 81 sHefT W

A Good Word for CODgress-NOw
for Defiant Determination.

From The Richmond Sentinel. January ls.l
Those who had the opportunity of at
tending the session of the House of Rep
resentatives on yesterday, speak In glowing
terms of the eloquent and stirring speeches
delivered there, and of the capital spirit
which was manifested. The addresses of
Messrs. Marshall, of Kentucky, Miles, of
South Carolina, and Russell, Of Virginia,
are particularly mentioned as having been
truly admirable-worthy of the House of
Representatives ofa wise and bravepeople.
We rejoice to record such sentiments in
such a quarter, and especially the marked
favor and applause with which they were
cause duty has lately required us to make
comments less pleasing to the people. Let
this be the commencement of an era of re-
newed energy, and let the cords Of heroic re-
solue and defiance ,ctich ,cere heard IN The
House yesterday, ring throughout the hnd. The
voice Of brave rulers is as inspiring as the
shout of king in the camp.

Pence Efforts.

The New York Times has certainly swal-
lowed wrong-end foremost its story about
ssterms of peace and adjustmentp suggested
bv us last summer, and brings it up so
Transformed as to bear but slight resem-
blance to its proper self. We made some
suggestions for the consideration of the
President of the United States, and for no
one else unless and until approved and
adopted by him, with such notifications as
he should see fit to make; and, SO iar from
being precluded from submitting them, or
having them submitted, by the Presidents
withholding his needed assent" re maze
since learned acith surprise that the Pres'den
erpected that zoe ,cOuld submit them 'lyormaiy
m cerfnin Rebel dqerts in Canada and ,ods dis
nnnointed that zoe did not. We had no thought
of doing anything of the kind.
The Times evinces anxiety and alarm IN
view of our inference from the fact OF Mr..
Blair's repeated journeys Richmond-ward
s.tbat the President does not insist on un-
conditional surrender" by the Rebels, and
says: ;.
sIf It be true that our Government Is
prepared to accept conditional surrender
at the hands of the rebel authorities, the
country would like to know achdt conditions
it is prepared to grant, and we applied to
the quarter most likely to be well Informed
upon that point"
No, Sir! that ''quarter" is the Govern
ment ITSELF which 1--WE presume) is quite
able to keep its own counsel. We do not
see how it could make a, public proclana-
tion of "what conditions 1t is prepared 10
grant" pending their consideration and
possible modification. We neither know
nor seek to know them, but rest in the con-
fident trust that the Executive is equal to
the high trust reposed in him by the Peo-
ple.-Ne,o York Tribune, Jan. u.
The foregoing is evidently from the pen
of HORACE GREELEY himself, and is signifi-
cant. We arenot given to understand what
suggestions, for the consideration of
the President of the United States and for
no one nlse, unless and until approved ana
adopted by him" Mr.. GREELEY made last
summer. They were evidently such as
have not come to the knowledge of the pub
lie, and the fact that ''the President expect
ed" that Mr.. GREELEY 'would submit them
informally to certain Rebel agents in Can
ada and ,oas disappotnted' that he did not,
adds further strength to the foundation on
which the hope of a speedy Peace now
rests. The further fact that Mr.. GREELEY
is not persistent in his demands that the
policy of the Radicals shall be strictly
carried out in the matter of Peace negotia-
tions, gives more strength to this founda-
ton.

The War Spirit at Washington
and at Richmond.

The Washington special to the Cincinnati
Commercial yesterday, gave the public this
information:
In the Senate, to-day, the feeling of Sen
ators on Blair's mission was exhibited by
the introduction by Senator Clark, of New
Hampshire, of strong resolution denounc-
ing all negotiations, directly or indirectly,
except on the basis of the unconditional
submission of the South.
And this:
Full files of Richmond papers Of Friday
and Saturday, January 20 and q, have come
to hand. They contain no special war news.
The Dispatch claims that Shermanhas been
checked at the Cambahee river.
The debate in the rebel Congress on the
Military bill showed decided war spirit.
The resolution to prepare an address de-
claring that the war should be prosecuted
until Southern independence was won, was
agreed to in both Houses.
The editorials in The Whig Examiner, En-
quirer and Sentinel all declare that no peace
can be had except on the basis of the inde-
pendence of the South. They expect Blair's
first visit was to bolster up the war-spirit
of the North.
Now, what is the difference between these
impracticables?
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-01-25
nm. R.licnI. Agnln.t Peace.

The Radicals at Washington have evil
dently become alarmed at the prospect Of
Peace. they are afraid that a Peace may
be negotiated on the basis of the restoration
Of the Union simply. On Monday Mr..
CLARK, of New Hampshire, introduced into
the Senate resolution denouncing all ne
gotiations, directly or indirectly, except on
the unconditional submission of the South.
Senator WILSON is reported as characteriz-
ing the reported Peace negotiations as
shameful. Should these destructives be al
lowed to have their way, of course we
shall have no Peace; but it is to be hoped
that President LINCOLN will pay no heed
to them. If he shall bring Peace to the
country, the great bulk of the people will
bless him and stand by him unflinchingly.
Let him do his duty in this matter and let
the Radicals rave and howl.

ment.
Very Certain,

1t is very certain that if the Abolitionists,
Cenfiscationists and Exterminators at
Washington can have their way, and if the
fire-eaters and the ultra Secessionists at
Richmond can have their way, we shall
not have any Peace soon. The people
North and South, must take hold of this
matter and compel the men who have the
control Of the respective Governments to
make Peace on the basis of the Union alone.
, On this basis Peace is possible. Ii is the
medium between the two extremes, and it

great mass Of the people in both sections.
To the consideration of this fact the people,
therefore, should address themselves with

Position of she Democratic Party
-FN7F T#t Vap.fneH.

The New York Tribune says that "one
thing Is evident. Wherever our victorious
soldiers march, they are ciyilly saluted as
deliyerers. There is no desperate defense
mo fighting in the streets-no firing from
the windows-no disputing inch by inch
our advance"
Ii tits true such resistance is waived be-
cause sour victorious soldiers" are ''saluted
as deliverers," /" this circumstance verifies the
position assumed by the Democratic party
In the outset of the War, and which has
ever since been maintained by it, that there
was and is a large portion of the people In
the insurgent States devoted to the Union,
and that therefore, it was the duty OF the
Administration to adopt and pursue such
policy as would strengthen and not weaken
that party. They were powerless in the
presence of the military power of JEFF.
DAVIS, by reason of having no protection
from the Federal Government. In the abb
sence of this protection, which the Admin
istration is as much bound to render to
them as they are bound to obey the justly
constituted authorities OF the feueral 0oV-
ernment is it just that they should, by rash
and vindictive legislation, eshorn of rights
that were acknowledged as clearly theirs
under the Constitution, before the Rebellion
was set on foot? The position assumed by
General SHERMAN in his letter to the Geor-
gians, that none of the insurgent States are
out of the Union, is correct; for they can
not be out of the Union until such time as
the Rebellion shall have become an accom-
Dlished Revolution. Not being out of the
Union, therefore, they have not lost any of
the rights, immunilies and privileges they
have all along enjoyed. Wherefore, then,
should we treat them as out of the Union,
and prescribe conditions on which they
shall return that are repugnant and sub
version of the theory of our Government?
