TOO SMART RY HALF.

4 Western genius, who thinks We are not hard
enough on the late Rebels, favors us with the
following device for apprecating our National
currency:
On another sutjeet differ from TIE TRIBUNE; and
tha, is your plan Of bringing Green backs up par Ny
plan would be for Mr.. McCuoch to pay out his 500 .
900 coo In gold twice year foi Greenbacks giving 100
cents for every dollar; and soon other with gold
would give 20 or e5 That would make holders OF in
terest.bearing bonds easy. aud living cheaper
DIV. HARRINGTON.
Let US briefly tell this financer few
things whereof be seems to be ignorant:
]. Mr.. McCuloch could ut pay out his
SlOo GOO per annum (more or less) "in
gold twice year for Greenbacks;" because
he must apply most of it to the accruing
interest on our National Debt, whereof some
$65, OOO, 900 per annum is specifically payable
n coin.
2. If Mr.. McCulloch should undertake to re-.
deem few millions Of Greenbacks in gold at
par leaving many millions nnredeemed and
worth q good deal less than par, he would raise
such storm about his ears as no fnancier ever
did, could or should stand up against. He would
be accused Of partiality, favoritism, and all
manner of turpitude, by those whose Greenbacks
he did not and could not redeem, and who
would all believe that he was in collusion with
those whom he paid.
We need not pursue the subject. If Mr..
Harrington will but study more and think more.
he will have more modest opinion of his own
merits as o financier and less contemptuous
regard Tor the wisdom and experience of Others.

Gland must now do that which she ought to
have done from the first after freeing the negroes
viz: take the administration Of affairs into her
own hands-thereby providing, even at this
late hour for remedying the evils that have re-
suited from the sad blundcr of leaving the col
ony so much to itself. To those unac-
gualntcd with the facts Of the case, 1t may
seem unaccountablc that England should have
pursued such course when peculiar clrcum-
stances demanded an uncommon measure OF
vigilance on the part Of the parent Government
in order to prevent the marring OF good ana
great work by those who iancicd it their inter-
est to obstruct it in every possible way. But
the truth il, the English were deceived and mis-
led by the gross Misrepresentation OF an un'
scrupulous colonial press as to the character and
condition of the freed negro. He was accused
of incorrigiblc laziness; and the changes were
SO vehemently and persistently rung on this
unfounded charge, that the people that had gen.
erollsly made such large pecuniary sacrifice Tor
his delivcrance from Slavery came at length TO
transfer their sympathies from the Blacks, rep.
resented as rcveling in the luxury Of idleness
and living by the plunder of the Whites, to the
planter, who was pictured to their Imagination
as heroically but almost hopelessIy struggling
amid stormy sea of difficulties into which
Emancipation had plunged him.
But recent events have opened their eyes 10
the truth. They find the Colony burdened
with heavy debt, incurred in abortive schemes
for flooding the country with CoOlc emigranta,
to the injury of the Black laborers, and render
ing necessary the imposition of heavy taxes
upon all the necessaries Of life. They find the
mass OF the people without education, for which
the Legislature has Systematically neglected to
make proper provision. They find an election
law in existence that practically confines the
franchise to one particular class-and that a
mere handful of the population. They ind
policy at work that virtually denies to the negroes
their right freely to discuss the acts Of therruler;
and the operation of the laws under which they
live. And they find spirit of intolerance and
tyranny extant, that prompts to deeds OF bloody
vengeance on the part Of the ruling power to
deter the people from exercising the undoubted
privileges OF free men. Such state of things
they evidently will not allow to continue; and,
should the dominant class in Jamaica demur TO
the proposition Of the Imperial Government,
made, it would seem, in anticipation of the
meeting of Parliament, they will demand,
through their representatives in that body the
unconditional surrender Of the power that has
been so shamefully abused. The rule Of the
planters in Jamaica must, therefore, be regarded
as virtually at an end, and the Colony as at
length separated by an impossible gull from
the old regime Of Slavery.

The Secretary Of the Treasury was requested
by resolution of the Senate to inform that body
whether any persons had been permitted to
enter upon the duties Of Office in his Depart
ment without taking the oath OF office. A tele.
graphic abstract Of the Secretary's answer was
understood as denying that any such person
had been employed by him, but by the
answer itself, now before us, we find Mr. Nc.
Culloch admitting that "some persons have
been, in the recently insurgent States, appointed
officers under the Customs and Internal Reve.
nue. laws, and are still holding their Offices,
without having taken and subscribed the oath
referred to-" Mr.. Stanton communicated simi.

Governors, but, so far as We have seen.
did not defend the action taken 10
paying them. The Secretary Of the Treasury
has woreasons for violating the law: First that
he cannot find officers qualified under it,
second, that be thinks it ought to be repealed,
He seems 10 intend to raise tho questions

prive negro of the rights thus guaranteed, OF
to return him to slavery, shall be punished with
fine and imprisonment.
The second bill is very much to a similar
purpose. 1t repeats the doctrine that color
cannot be made distinction in the eye of the
law and declares that the Circuit and District
Courts shall have, exclusive of the Courts
of the several States. charge of all oiTenses
agans. the provisions Of the act The District
Attorneys, Marshals. Deputy.Marshals and
Commissioners of the Government are in
structed to institute proceedings before the
National Courts against all who oppress the
negro. The Commissioners authorized in the
other act are clothed with powers similar to
those of the National and Territorial Courts,
and may arrest, try, imprison or dismiss all who
are accused. The Marshals are to obey their
wrlts, the army and naval forces to enforce
obedience, and all who attempt to resist
their process are to be fined and imprisoned.
These two acts grant large measure of pro.
lection. The machinery seems to be compli-
Gated and expensive, but We scarcely know how
this can be avoided. We must do the negro
justice. and since we will not throw open the
door and bid him come to the family fire, we
must keep good and expensive watch outside
to see that he does not freeze. AS matter of
justice it is necessary; as matter of economy,
expensive. We have way Of doing all this at
half the cost; but since our way is not just now
acceptable, we shall bide our time and examine

PROTECTION TO THE NEGRO.

So long as the negro is not to have the right
to protect himself with the ballot, We feel great
interest in oil measures that look 20 his protcc-
ton by the Federal Government. II is gcner-
ally conceded that. no system is more efficient
for this temporary purpose than the Freedmen =
Bureau. Based upon the plan of Gen. Banks
in Louisiana, and in that respect a mill
tary eXpedient, il hes been applied
TO the Southern country with good
results. In isolated cases, the Bureau has
probably been mismanaged, but such exceptions
are unavoidable in machinery whose workings
embrace half The Republic. Mr.. Trumbull OF
