CURRENCY DEBAsEMENT.

The Herald chuckes over a reported shipment OF
$500 600 in specie from Europe to this country and
says:
when we take into consideration the fact that our I'm
and third greater than in this return OF gold may DO
considered somewhat extraordinary But remarkable az
NAV seem Internationally only the commencement"
general movement of specie in the same direction
If we were paying for this specie by an overplus
of exports its importation might be sign OF prosper
ty but when it is notorious that every dollar of gold
that comes here is oyerbalanced by several dollars oil
our National Dobt sold by us to foreign bankers and
capt. ass for less than threeourths of its face, though
payable by our children in gold, with gold interest
meantime at six per cent, the importation OF specie
from Europe must be deeply regretted 1t is the pur-
chase of temporary in our money market al
heavy ultimate costit is the prodigals achievement
of present luxury by drawing bills OF runous discount
against his future earnings
II Is only the debasement of our Currency which
hides from careless view that bonds which seem
to be at 10 per cent premium, are really at 40 or %
ner cent discount, and that we are selling them by
millions at this rate to foreigners who will require us
to pay them to the uttermost farthing We have
flush money market and low rates OF interest when
we ought to be hard up" with Money scarce ana
dear and Produce relatively cheap so that we could
export vastly more of it in proportion to our imports
and buy back our bonds held in Europe instead OF eI'
porting any more. We could have bought them lar
cheaper lust before the outbreak Of the late German
War than we shall probably be able to do again Tor
many years.
Unfortunately. our statemanship is short-slghted
and sal6sb IL seeks to tide-over election rather
than to achieve permanent, far.reaching benefits.

aOIDIERIY HONOR.

The Times writhes under our exposure of the base
ness inhcrng in the platform OF the proposed John
son Soldiers Convention and, conccaling from ITS
readers our proposition. picks out few words (Which
it misrepresents) aud tries TO eyade tho issue III
roth of donuncation. But that will not answer.
Let us restatc our position:
The call of Gems Custer, Dix 4 Go. for their john
son Soldiers Convention mistakenly asserts that the
amendments Of the Federal Constitution proposed by
Congress dsfranchsc the Confederate officer engaged
in the late Rebellion; whcreupon Custer a Co. ap.
peal to our soldiers to say whether they would con-
sent 70 settlement Of our troubles which dl'ran'
chised their leaders and comrades in arms. Such Is
the Johsonan appeal.
To which responds TnE TRfBcNE:
Messrs Custer, Dix 4 Co., yoH had Two Hundred
Thousand feow-soldcrs in the late War whom God
chose to make Black. Twenty-eight Thousand OF
them died in the service; probably Ono Hundred ana
Fifty Thousand still living Though tho Rebels
have murdered many since Lee and Johnston sur
rendered. Now, what Mr. johnson calls My Pol
licy" of restoration leaves nearly all of these
One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Union Soldiers a:
the mercy aud under the feet Of the malignant, cha
erned embittered Rebels whom they helped you TO
put down. Though President Lincoln, and The Nsn-
YorkIeraH and even Andrew Johnson have urged that
these Union Soldiers ought 10 be enanchsed, and the
Philadelphia Convention says they ought to enjoy all
rights of person and property equally with
Whites, you know that they do not, and if
they are left TO the mercy Of the late Rebels,
nerer uH If the late Confederates would not con.
cede them the rights OF Manhood when Johnson
asked it, YOU may be very sure that they will not
now, since they have Power on their side. He turns
the Black soldiers over such treatment their and
your late antagonists choose 10 give them; and you
knOlo that will be hard treatment. NEW ORLEANS has
already shown You how any attempt to help them to
the Right Of Suffrage will be dealt with 40 the
the South; and the wholesale destruction
of their schoolhouses, the mobbing and lynching Of
their teachers by Rebel regulators" show you how
every effort their part TO qualify themselves for
political responsibilities will be met by those who
make their ignorance and debasement preteIts for
their Acknowledgement.
Now, Mesrs. Dix, Custer " Co., We call you 10
judgment, yourselves being the judges Is not the
part you are playing toward these Black Union sol
diers your late compatrots in arms, intensely base
and treacherousl We merely indicate our opinion Of
it: will you allow us to compare it with yoursi

The moderate and wise deliberations OF the National
Labor Congress should have results worthy OF the
great questions discussed for though such conven-
ton can do little more than suggest, we know, by e1
perience that all reforms have been perfected in the
debates of the people before they were embodied in
legislation. 1t was so with the ant-Sayery move
ment and with tho Tariff and so it will be with the
principles Of the Labor Congress The resolutions 1t
adopted yesterday are oil admirable They favor
agricultural development in the South, only to be ac-
complishcd by free labor and in the same lib
ers interest advocate tho sale Of Government
lands at minimum prices. OF the proposed reform
in tenement houses, the laborers Of our great
cities we'll know the value. and it is strange
that, with tho many improvements introduced,
and successfully carried out in England, tho present
wretohed system Of building should be continued
Another excellent resolution urges the establishment
OF workingmcn's Lyccums and We believe that in its
opposition to STRIKES" the Congress has faithfully
expressed tho opinions of tho vast majority OF intei-
gent mechanics strike" should be like the
appeal to arms the last method Of deciding dispute
and even then frequently settle it unjuStly. Alto
geher the Convention has thoroughly represented the
intelligence, education and enterprise of the working
men of tho Union aud it, influence should be general
and permanent.

Fred. Douglass, it is reported, has been elected
delegate fiom Rochester to the Loyal Southerners
Convention in Philadelphia, which will plakc no OBJ
lection to bis color. Such recognition Of the stake
his race have in the country is in noble contrast with
the admission of the worst of Rebels to the Randall
Convention. Mr. Douglass has said little pubhciy
since his interview with tho President, In February
when Mr.. johnson was considerably startled by his
replies, and, after making long speech, declined to
enter into any discussion. The Union party is per-
fectly wlling-nay, anxious-that the loyal colored
men should have voice in ts conventions.
