LrcIrs RoBIsos, the retiring Comptroller
Of the State of New York, in his recen. report
to the Legislature, speaking OF our expanded
currency, says:
The consequences predicted by him have
been fully realized. There has been an enor-
nous imitation of prices, increase of expendi-
lures and augmentation of debt. There has
been more than this-namely, loosening Of
the sense of moral obligation, uIo.aled spec
ulations, unboanaed indulgence in luxurious
living. extravagance in expenditures, both
public and private, With strong tendency TO
general Decentralization. Persons dependent
upon moderate aud fixed incomes which were
sufficient for them before the imitation, have
been reduced TO poverty and want. The cir
cuatioh, which was estimated before the
war at S200, 900 600, is at the present time
about $500, Ql0, COO And on the &ases of

State will nearly be abandoned to its
fate, and its miserable population,
dwinding away from disease, and
want and crime, will, after q few mis-

they will be repelled. But if these
lands are restored, their capabilities,

occupy the places of those who can
not, will by energy soon recover
these places, and the country will reap

What has Congress Done.

The New York Herald thus sums
up what Congress has done since its
meeting in December last:
Two months of the present session
of Congress having expired, the ques-
ton naturally recurs, what progress
has been made by the two Houses in
the heavy schedule of work before
them touching the reconstruction of
our domestic and foreign affairs. We
can only answer that we have had
any quantity of speeches, resolutions,
bills, constitutional amendments, &c, j.,
submitted in each House, but that the
practical results, SO far, have been
very small. One bill has been passed
into law-that providing against
the cattle disease by prohibiting the
introduction into the United States
of European cattle. The House has
passed a bill by q two-thirds vote
extending the right of suffrage with
out restriction to the blacks of the
District of Columbia, and the Senate
by similar vote has passed bill
enlarging the powers Of the Freed
mems Bureau, and beyond these
achievements and the reconstruction
powers accorded the joint committee
OF fifteen, otherwise known as the
Committee of Public Safety, we have
nothing in the way of business to
report. Yet there is the constitu-
t;cnal amendment reported reported t:cna that
committee, and which, for 81 week
past, has been under discussion in
the House. This amendment, exclud-
ing from the basis of Federal repre-
sentation the whole race with regard
to which any State may deny or
abridge the right of suffrage, will, we
guess, be referred back to the COM
mittee tomorrow. The District negro
suffrage bill, meantime, will probably
come up in the Senate; and thus, upon
this bill, that amendment, or some
thing else concerning the rights o;
the negro, all other subjects of Con-
gressional legislation may be super
ceded for month or two to come.

an accomplice, of robbery COM

The Courier says that the officers,
on receiving their information, i'm
mediately instituted search and
succeeded in tracing the object of
their search to house in Wentworth
street, South side, near Rutledge.
Here he was living in splendid style,
having taken twelve month lease of
the building, at the rate of 500 per
annum, the rent payable monthly in
gold coin. The mistress of the house
halls from Philadelphia, and it is said
accompanied the prisoner on his trip
here. He had also several female
boarders, who, he said, were concert
singers. On the arrival of the officers
at the house, Monday morning, they
observed q carriage in waiting. The
officers thcreupon drew back q short.
distance and awaited the denoue-
ment- AS the carriage, after leaving
the door, was passing the officers, the
latter hailed the driver with an order
to halt. Officer Levy, on reaching
the carriage, said to the inmate,
''your n..nAe is Robertson. ssNo,"
was the reply, 'my name is Moul-
ton" ''Ah!'' said the officer, s.iust
the man we want. driver, drive to the
guard house" The prisoner was then
taken to the guard house, where he
has been secured until the departure
OF the sheriff of the county, and
president of the bank, for the place
where the robbery was committed.
Governor Orr has already signed the
requisition turning the prisoner over
into the hands of the proper au-
thorities

The Galveston Bulletin says there
are two kinds Of newspapers, which
are equally nnwise, and equally inju-
rious to public sentiment. The first
is that which misrepresents Southern
sentiments and slanders Southern
men. The second class is comprised
of those papers who represent the
negro as idle, lazy and vicious-who
seek to sink him still lower in the
general estimation, and at the same
time to raise up sentiment averse to
Northern men.
