The Loan Bill.
From the Times

From the Times
The Loan bill, as finally passed, falls far short
of whatit should have been to do justice to the
Secretary of the Treasury or to meet the views
of those who, like him, earnestly desire speedy
return to specie payments. 1t w1thholds power
which that officer ought to have had conferred
upon him, and it restricts the process of con-
traction within limits that render all apprehen-
sion ofpanic on that ground utterly absurd.
Nevertheless, the new law definitely euacts
very important principle and lays the founda-
tion of policy which we hope hereafter to see
applied with much greater vigor. 1t does not
meet the reasonable requirements OF Mr.. Secre-
tary McCulloch. But 1t illustrates the plans of
the infationists, and imposes restraint upon the
currency of which prudent men cannot fail to
take need The contraction possible within the
year is so small that it will probably be
Ceeded by the addition 10 the National Bank
circulation during the same period. But, at
any rate, the national policy is to be one of
contraction, as opposed to expansion. So much
at least is fixed by the bill. And to this extent
it is a step in the right direction.
IT anything else were wanted to reconcile the
country to measure in itself of comparatively
little value, it would be found in the hostility
shown at every sage OF its progress through
Congress by the advocates of currency which,
though not avowedly iuconvertible, would be
rendered SO by constant addition to its issues.
Not one OF these ran 80 far counter to public
Opnion as 10 declare himself favorable to incon-
veltibility as principle. On the contrary,
every one OF them professed desire to
promote a resumption of cash payments.
But, aside from their professions, they were
unitedly opposed, first, to the more COM
prehensive bill which. in the main, re-.
fected the views of the Secretary, and after
wards to the harmless affair which went through
the Senate on Monday. For their defeat, let us
be grateful. In whatever aspect we are other
wise disappointed we know that the paper

the spectators salutary warning Both were

1t is to be hoped that Congress, having
affirmed sound principle in regard TO green.
backs, will not be unmlndfu of the danger that
turks beneath an unchecked development of the
National Bank system.

whole amount to the original three hundred
milliOns-that is. instead OF increasing this de-
scripion oi currency TO supply the demand OF
1itor1es, to take from the States that have
an undue proportion and give " to those that
have none or a e5s proportionate amount. This
is another step ia the right direction. MIR.
Sherman sees the necessity Of limiting the
amount OF paper money, and especially OF
this national bauk issue; at the same time
he opposes such a contraction as may disturb
the business and values Of the country. II would
be better to supersede this 30 called national
bank currency by legal tender ereenbacks, or by
bona tide national currency issued solely in the
name of the Government and on ITS credit for In
monopolies would get the benefit of the circula-
tion; but II IS some pro sress the right dlrec-
tion to limit this national bank currency, ana it
is but fair 10 equalize the distribution OF 1t. The
bill was referred to the Committee on Finance,
and we have some reason to expect it will be
fayOrably considered.

constitutional Powers.

From The Tribune.
The World quoted Mr.. Jefferson as authority
for the dictem that our political system reserves
to the several States "eUery power purely domes-
tic" and that
"The Federal g. in truth our foreign Government,
which department alone is taxen from the soVe'
reigntY OF tn separate ates.'
We met this with indisoutable citations from
She Constitution itself, wherein power Is given
to Congress 10 protect inventors and authors
by patents and copyrights; to coin money; to
establish Post Offices and post roads; and to es-
tablish uniform laws on the subject of bankrupt
cles, while, by that same instrument, the states
are forbidden to com money, pass bills of at
tander, or er post fdctO laws, or impair the obli-
cations of contracts etc. Surely here is enough
to prove the World mstaken-and Mr.. Jefferson
too-in asserting that ''the foreign department
alone is taken from the sovereignty of the sepa-
rate States"
The World quotes Mr.. jefferson as writing
from Paris to H. Darlington august 4, 1871
that ours under the old Confederation was "the
best Government existing, or that ever did
exist" That was doubtless, Mr.. Jetferson's
opinions; but the country held quite another;
and this prevailed in the framing and adoption
of the Federal Constitution. Mr.. jefferson fur
ther wrote that
"My general plan would be 10 make the States
ono everything connected with foreign nations,
and several as to everything purely domestic"
We haven't doubt of this. Only it o hap
raj Constitution, aud it was not conformed to
his views, but TO those of Franklin, Washing.
ton, Roger Sherman, Hamilton, Madison, ETC.,
which were quite different. Madison after
wards bowed to the magnetism of his personal
ascendancy, and 'wrote the famous Virginia
resolves Of 1799 of which, after jefferson Is
death, he made so unharpy an attempt to explain
away the meaning. But the Consultation Is one
thing, and the resolves OF '9S and '99 quite
another; though Mr. Jefferson having very
positive notions as to what the Constitution
should be, provided we must have Constitu-
tion (Which he didn't want) - afterwards as
sumed, asserted, or argued that the actual Coz
sttution was the camel, or weasel, or whale that
he would have had it.
The World is constrained to substitute an
issue of its own invention Tor that whereon ITS
discontinue is so palpable. Promising that GER
tain OF the internal powers accorded to Congress
by the Constitution were granted to it likewise
by the old Articles of Confederation, it asks:-
"Was ever anybody rash enough or hardy enough
to MAINTAIN that the Articles of Confederation abb
sorbed the domestic jurisdiction of the olates?"
With disputant who thus puts into the
mouth OF his antagonist whatever words promise
to serve his own purpose, we prefer to part
company.

President Johnson,s Action.

From the Daily Relos.
The final Congressional action upon the Civil
Rights bill proves that the power of radicasm
is absolute in the National Capitol. faction,
ambitious, fanatcal, INSCRIPTIONS, has usurped
a monopoly of central legislation. A Fictitious
majority, created by plain violation of the
principles and laws OF our political system,
exercises its will in defiance OF right and reason,
and, by force, fraud, and political intrigue,
attempts to paralyze the Executive arm, and to
destroy the balance OF authority in the several
branches OF the Federal Government. Eleven
States of the Union and millions of American
citizens are wrongfully and in palpable antago-
nism with the provisions of the Constitution,
withheld from representation in the National
Legislature; withheld tor the purpose OF secur-
ing to the usurping faction the political ascend
ancy that they use tor the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
their own party, and for the consummatlon OF
partisan schemes, whose accomplishment would
lead to anarchy and the overthrow OF republi-
canism.
This is revolution. 1t is treason more dan
eerous than armed rebellion against the const-
tuted authorities. 1t is, ii successful, death TO
the body polite by poison, more fatal than open
conflict in the fields OF war. 1t is the treason
OF demagoeues against not only the organic
laws of the Republic, but against the senti-
ment OF the people misrcpresented ana out

sion and civil strife have thrown a political

The Loan Bill Passed Both Houses O
Congress.

From the Herald.
This important bill, to enable the Secretary
of the Treasury to meet the obligations of the
Government about to become DUE passed the
Senate on Monday in the same form as it passed
the House. There was good deal of discussion
upon the bill, those opposed to it arguing
chiefly that too much power was placed in the
hands OF the Secretary, especially with regard
TO contracting the currency. Mr. Sherman
objected to it on this ground. He thought il
gave the Secretary too much power to contract
the currency, which might put an unnecessary
suam upon the commercial world, and that no
man ought to have this power. He maintained,
TOO, mat every citizen ought to know how
much currency is in circulation at any
time. The objections of Mr.. Sherman and
those who went with him are good in principle
and had forcible application to the bill as
originally reported 10 the House; but the
amended OIL, as now passed, is relieved almost
entirely OF these objections. The Secretary
has not the power of retiring more than
eighteen millions of greenbacks before Con.
gress will meet and can take further action
upon the subject next winter This small
amount, should he even Withdraw il, wouId
scarcely be felt. His power, therefore, In this
respect is very limlted, On the whole. we
think the bill u safe one, and is not likely to
cause any disturbance in the business of the
country. The careful legislation of Congress
on the important matter OF our finances and
currency must be gratifying to the country. Ii
that body would only be as prudent aud con.
seryative on strictly political Questions our
sectional troubles would soon end. We hope
1t viii make the same progress towards cor,
rect, statesmanlke views in that respect as II
is making on the question OF national finance
and the currency.
RYn connection with this subject we notice
too, that Mr. sherman introduced a bill in thG
Senate on Monday TO equalize the distribution 0
the national bank currency, and TO limit thu
