EXTINCTION OF GREENBACKs.

Some ofthe papers are rejoicing at the steady
relpa4en Of the national Greenback currency,
as shown by tic successive Treasury statements,
and they consider this the only sure read TO a
specie basis,
How the road 70 specie payments IS to be
found By Withdrawing the United States notes
and issuing in their stead the notes Of National
Banks, is beyond the comprehension Of ordina-
" minds. If we could retain all the gold pro-
duced in the mines of California and other gu
riferous regions, we could not return to specie
payments in five years to come, for the simple
reason that the commercial transactions OF the
country and the immense public debt require a
larger circulation than has ever been required
since our existence nation.
The plan upon which the National Banks are
organiaed-paper based upon paper, and these
institutions only required to have a small pro
portion of specie.-precludes the idea Of a full
return to metallic currency.

IMPORTANT DECISION Discharge Of Pris-
oners-It will be recolected that some time
ago four citizens Of South Carolina were arrest
ed, by command of Major General Sickles, and
having been tried by military court, under
the orders Of that officer were sentenced to
death. The sentence commuted by the
President to Imprisonment for life, and the pris
oners having been first dispatched to the Dry
gortugas, in order to evade writ of habeas cor
pus were eventually incarcerated in Fort Della
ware. Here they were demanded by the civil
authorities, under writ Of habeas corpus issued
by Judge Hall, the District Judge of the Uni
ted States for the District of Delaware. Judge
Hall is magistrate venerable alike by his years
aud by the dignity and frmness with which he
has, through long career, administered his
high office The mandate of his court was
oheyed; the prisoners brought before him,
and after patient hearing of the case, they
were discharged, on the express ground that
according to the law of the land the prisoners
ought not to and cannot be held under the
commuted sentence of this military commission,
and that they be discharged. ."-Buktinaore Sun
2Ah uh.
We learn from the Columbia papers that the
prisoners above alluded to, arrived in that city
en- route for their homes in Anderson District,
s. &. Their names are, James Crawford Keys,
Robert Keys, Elisha Byrem, and Francis
Gaines Showers.

A REPORT.

1t is reported here by gentlemen, just from
Raleigh, that Governor Worth has been noti6-
ed by General Sickles, military commandant of
this department., that there shall be no more
corporal punishment in this State for cause. If
this report is true, and it comes from gentlemen
whose veracity do not doubt, it is obvious
that the General has an object in view, which
we trust the Legislature will have the manliness
to defeat. 1t is scarcely necessary to say that
General Sickles has no right to issue such an
order, but admit that he has, will the Legisla-
ture be bullied into compliance with his de-
manGs? Will the members impose upon the
people of this State the heavy expense of build
ing State Peuitentary merely to crafty the
squeamish notions of Sickles and his Northern
allies? This seems to be the object in view.
We have expressed our views with respect to
taxing the people for the purpose of erecting a
penitentary, and since the announcement of
this order, if such has been issued, we will add,
that were We a member of the Legislature, we
should oppose the measure, if there we're no 9TH
er objections, because of this unauthorized in
reference We contend that the inmence cost
of erecting penitentiary will be burden upon
the people that the amount accruing from con-
vict labor will not be sufficient to remove. A
penitentary for densely populated State may
be all right and proper but in a sparsely settled
State like North Carolina, disjoiuted by noun
tains, the expense OF conveying criminals to it,
and other incidental expenses will preclude the
possibility OF making it self sustaining. We
therefore trust that the Legislature Will aot be
bullied into the adoption Of the measure, but
will remain firm in their convictions of what is
best calculated to promote the interest of the
people, regardless of dictation from any quar-
ter. If they are to become the mere puppets
of the military, then their honor and self re-
spect alike, require then: to resign and 60 home.
But where does General Sickes get the au-
tbority to say what mode of punishment we
shall adopt? How we shall punish criminals
and how We shall not? Are his orders to be re-
garded iG this particular? Is be to be permit
ted to set aside the laws of our State and the
decisions of our courts7 What use then have
we for Governor or Legislature? If this is
to be the case, if Gen, SickIes or any other
military officer, is thus to override all the func-
tions of our civil Government od hbttnns, We
insist that the Legislature enter their protest,
abolish the courts, and adjourn indefinitely
Salisbury Banner.
If Gen. Sickles has issued any such order as
alluded to above, we agree with the Banner that
the Legislature ought to pay no attention to it.
We are disposed to doubt the report. II true,
President johnson has it in bis power to pre-
vent such interference, aud We presume be will
do it.
