WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-Morrill said that
it was notin order 70 allude to what had
necessarily taken place in the Senate, or
what may happen, for men will not forget
that they have a~country to save. The meas
ures under consideration may be called the
apple of the eye. The public credit was a
proposed pledge not only for our present
accumulations and resources, but prospec-
lively the wealth Of 36, 900, 600 OF people
who earn more annually, than any other
nation of so, OO0, 600 on the globe. In order
to carry a loan on favorable terms, the pres
ent bill was only a patch on an old gar
ment, extending the act Of March, 1906, so as
to authorize the Secretary OF the
Treasury, at his discretion, TO receive any
act of Congress, whether bearing interest or
not, in exchange for any description Of
bonds authorized by the act to which this is
a supplement. The bill this time conferred
large power, but it merely substituted q
new debt for an old one. Our entire debt
cannot then be increased a single dollar. It
was known that the Secretary Of the Treas
NY contemplated a return Of specie pay
ments at the earliest practicable moment.
We have been fortunate in our Secretaries
Of the Treasury during the last five years,
one of whom we called 10 occupy the high
est judicial station in this country. 1t was a
relief to the loyal people when his successor,
Mr.. Fessenden was appointed, command
ing as he did 50 much Of the public conf
dence. They now asked and received all
they wanted from Congress, and did not
betray their trust. We now have a Secre-
tary in Mr.. McCulloch who occupies no
dire ambition to any man, and whose con-
duct has won golden opinions at home and
abroad.

pated.
