SPECIE PAYMENTS AND THE LEG AL
TENDER Currency.

Mr.. Z. G.. Spaulding, Of the Farmers
and Mechanics National Bank Of Buffalo,
having, in a letter 10 Secretary McCulloch,
expressed the opinion that the currency
could be moderately contracted so az to
preserve tolerably easy money market, IN
order TO be able to fund the compound skies
and the seven-thirties long gold-bearing
bonds between this and the 18th Of July,
1868 and that the specie standard could
be reached with at least 250000,OOO Of
plain legal offender United States notes still
outstanding" Mr.. McCulloch replied as
follows: 1873
"TREAsURY DEPARTMENT, WASHING
TON. December =, lSG6.-" Dear Sir
Your favor Of the 4th instant is re
ceiTed. You will receive a copy OF
nv REPORT through the Comptroller sf the
Currency. Itwas very hastily written, but
Is, think, sound in doctrine.
'"What we need is an increase Of labor.
II we could have the productive industry
Of the country IN full exercise, we could
return to specie payments without any very
large curtailment Of United States notes
NV object has been TO keep the markei
steady. and 10 work back to specie pay
ments without financial collapse. / shall
act in the future az have in the past, with
great caution, and attempt no impraciica

THE RAIDING SYSTEM.

Our dispatches represent Gen. GRANT
in new light He advises the retention
of a large cavalry force to penetrate the
South at the pleasure of the Government,
for the alleged purpose of preserving
order and enforcing civil rights. We
regard this as the most soyrowiul news
that could have emanated from Washing
ton at this time 1t will be regarded by
the Southern people as a measure de-
noting the hostility of the Government
to the people 1t will impress them with
the conviction that in the mind OF the
Government, all the sacrifices they have
made, and all the assurances they have
given, are utterly worthless. So far from
committing them to the care of them
selves, and the privileges Of a free peo-
pie, the plan appears to be to still regard
them as hostile to the Government, and
TO subject them from time to time to the
horrors of great cavalry raids. 1t is not
difficult to imagine what these raids will
he. We know what they were in the
past. The country through which they
will pass must, of necessity, feed them.
They will live upon the enemy and sub
ject him to such treatment as may be
suggested by the thick coming eaprices
of commanders
We had hoped - the Southern people
had hoped, that the war was over, that
the broken South might be permitted to
heal her wounds, restore her prosperity,
and become heartily reeonciled to just
and liberal government We heard with
satisfaction of The disbanding OF the
army, for It was an act full of assurance
that hoslilites had actually ceased, and
the South was not TO groan and stagger
under the intolerable burden of stand
ing army But the cavalry raid system
would be worse. 1t would not be diff
cult to fraternise with stationary troops,
but vast cavalry force would know no
one. care for no one, and it is quite
probable. in many cases and under peeu-
liar inspirations, respect no one rights.
If the object Of this plan be to enforce
civil rights, the thing is contradiction.
A cavalry force marching from court
house to court house, to compel the
courts to administer civil rights, would
be an exhibition of military forces exc
cutting military law We have some
hope that, great as the influence of Gen.
GRANT IL, it is not sufficient to induce
the Government TO adopt this measure.

A Glance at the Country

Cen Fisk returned yesterday from a
pleasant little trip to Maury county. He
is enthusiastic over the delightful pros
poets presented, both as regards the i'm
proved and improving condition Of the
people, white and black, and the fine ag-
ricutural condition of the country
through which he travelled The ravages
of the war, he thinks, are already al
most entirely obliterated. Sach magnif-
cent fields of corn and cotton; what
faithful looking orchards /; vegetables of
all kinds in the richest profusion the
cattle ON a thousand hills looking as if
fully cognizant that the work of recon
struction was going on beautifully, not
withstanding the growing, and vindic-
tiveness of some of the State officials !;
and above all, the general feeling ofpeace
and security existing among all classes
in the rural districts.
The General visited, among other plan
tations, that of Gen. Ewell, near Spring
Hill. This consists of about four thous-
and acres, four hundrdd of which are
producing corn and cotton this year.
Notwithstanding the drawback of a
wooden leg-attached to the exrebel
chieftain-both Generals rode on horse
back about twelve miles on Thursday,
now chatting gaily over "reminiscences of
the war, now descanting on the splendid
prospects afforded by. rich fields. of
corn and cotton, and anon discussing
the all absorbing question Of recon
struction By-the-by, General Fisk
says he considered General Ewell one
of the best reconstructed rebels in the
State. The freedmen in his employ are
fairly in clover, receiving good pay, and
being provided with school house and
other appurtenances of intelligence and
civilization. General Ewell is entering
heart and soul in promoting reconstruc-
ton under the new regime, and his eff
forts, General Fisk remarks, are crowned
with abundant success. The situation in
Marry is of the most encouraging char
acter.- Ndshuiile Dispatch.
