Bank Currency-The
Government to Redeem the
Circulation In Full.

Gen. F. E. Spinner, the Treasurer, has
written letter to the New York Herald,
called forth by some unjust criticism in
that paper of a. previous letter on re-
demption of National Bank notes, in
which he says:
1t seems clear enough that the notes of
a National Bank in liquidation are La
biIities of the Government, and are re-
deemable at sight by each and all of the
hundred of designated depositaries of the
United States; and most people in COM
mercial circles understand this liability
of and certainty of redemption by the
Government. The United States is there
fore clearly legally bound to redeem every
dollar of the circulation of defaulting Ma
tional Bank. The Government virtually
undertakes that its six per cent. gold inter
est bearing bonds-and any other of its
bends made of equivalent value depos-
tied by National Banks to secure the re-
demption of their circulating notes, shall
not depreciate more than the difference
between such par value of the bonds at
which they are received and the lesser
amount of circulating notes issued to the
bank thereon, and that if they do the
Government guarantees to make good
the deficiency to the note holder. 1t
agrees to redeem all such notes from its
own funds in the treasury at par, and
from this, too, whether the securities de-
posted for that purpose, with the sums
that may be afterwards realized from the
assetts of said defaulting banks, shall
be deficient or not. In other words,
the Government does not act in the ca
pacity of a Joint trustee of the National
Banks and the holders of their notes to
pay the latter such sums as it may real
ize from the sales of the securities of the
former; that it stands as the perfectly Sc
cured indorser of every circulating note
issued by a National Bank. The fact
that all National Bank notes are legal ten

HYp.u luna 1Ith 1884

hlRAA, JUNE ILL., lCOOs
The friends of the Eclectic Institute
will learn with regret and sadness that
Miss Booth, who has for so many years
held a position among the most honored
of its teachers, has decided upon resign
ing her place in the school. She does
this from motives worthy of the highest
regard, and in compliance with cireum-
stances which seemed Unavoidable
Those only who have known her in the re-
lation of student to teacher and of teach
er with teacher, can fully realize the sor-
row felt in accepting this final decision.
The session Just closed has been one of
much profit and pleasure, and as token
of the appreciation in which the labors
of Miss Booth were held by the students,
and the respect and love which every one
felt for her, an elegant silver fruit basket
and fruit knife were presented her in the
Chapel the morning before the close OF
school. Miss Avis Jewett, in behalf of her
classmates of the term, expressed their
gratitude and esteem in very appropriate
words. In accepting the gift, Miss
Booth, in few well chosen words, thank
ed the school for their kind remem-
brance and referred with much feeling to
the pleasant scenes of the last and pre-
ceeding terms.
The evening of the 5th inst, small
company of those who for ears have felt
the influence of her earnest work in the
class room and her gentle, kind advice
and example in the several relations
which spring up between teachers and
students, quietly met at her home in Hi
ram, and Miss Hettie Smith, in behalf of
the odd students present and of those
whose hearts were with them although
other duties had called them away from
the old school forever, presented a silver
pitcher, cup and tray, of beautiful work
manship, also a silver card case delicate
ly chased. A few words were said as par
TALLY expressing the love and gratitude
with which Miss Booth viii always be re-
membered by the old students ofthe Eclec'
tic. Her words of grateful thanks to those
in whom from long acquaintance she felt
personal interest, were few but filed
with that kindly feeling which has ever
been the secret power which shed its
influence over all her friends. E. r.

customs, would be sufficient to establish
this liability, even if there had been no
positive enactment of mandatory char
acter, such as is contained in section
forty-seven of the law above quoted
Such is the opinion Of the honorable
Secretary of the Treasury, the honorable
Comptroller of the Currency, and of eT-
ry other person with whom l have con-
yersed who has given the matter atten-
ton.
In this connection desire to state an
other fact not generally understood; that
is. that on account of the personal liabil-
ity clause in the act, on the failure of a
National Bank, the whole capital stock"
of the bank, from liability" of the
bank to its stockholders, Immediately
becomes an asset TO its creditors.

Mr.. EDIrToR.-The following is an extract
from Bishop Quintard's address to the Epis-
copal Convention held in the Diocese of Ten
nessee By giving it place in your paper,
1 have no doubt it will be very gratifying to
many of your readers, to see what noble
work is going on in that State nnder the
patronage of the Episcopal Church in behalf
of the Freedmen, and especially so to the
many personal friends of Mrs Garfield, Wild
ow of the late General Garfield of Medina
s'The next important subject is the work Of
the church among the freedmen. This, my
brethren, is a matter of great importance,
and one which, l trust, will be fully and
frankly discussed in this convention. BYre-
ferrirg to the journals of the diocese, you
will find how frequently and earnestly our
late beloved Bishop urged upon US all the
work of missions in Africa, and among the
negroes at home. If the work of missions in
Africa be work of God, surely the work OF
preaching the gospel to the sons and daugh-
ters of Africa in our midst, Is one that we can
not neglect without guilt.
Our Church, we may hope, has, up to the
measure of her ability, been faithful to her
trust; but she has thus far accomplished very
little It is our duty at once TO provide a
missionary for the thousands of freedmen in
and around Memphis. Not only so, but il
we are to do any work among them, we ought
without delay to search out such colored com.
municants of the church as may be deslrouE
of preparation for the sacred ministry, and to
whose capacity and moral and spiritual ft-
ness, their pastors may testify and provide
for their education. We have in Memphis
already established ''Colored Orphan Asy-
um' The work was begun by Mrs. Martha
Canfeld, and has thus far been managed by
her with remarkable tact and energy. She
is devoted eommunicant of the church,
than whom none nobler ever gave true heart
to the poor, weak and igRorant. She ear
nestly desires the church to take the Asylum
under its care and control. An extended re-
port of the operations of the enterprise has
| been forwarded to the Convention by the
Board of Trustees, of which am amember
desire to submit it to committee of three
clergymen and three laymen, to report to thii
Convention.
There been baptized in the Asylum by my
self and other clergyman of the church il
| Memphis, fifty-two of the inmates: and ar
rangements, it is hoped, will be made fol
keeping up the services Of the church at th'
institution.

POOR WHITES OF ALABAMA.

An agent of the Freedmen's Bureau, in a
report 10 the Assistant Commissioner for Ala
bama, states that in his visits among the poor
whites and freedmen of Bibb, Shelby, jefferson
and Calhoun counties Of Alabama, he found
great restitution among the whites. Their
scanty supplies have been exhausted, and they
now look TO the Government alone for support.
Many are without homes to shelter them. On
one road leading TO Talladega he saw four
families who were living in the woods, with no
better shelter from the inclemcnGy of mid
winter than huts OF pine boughs. Quite a
number, he states, are living in this manner,
whom are widows with families of children.
The agent thinks that camps of widows and
orphans will have to be established, where, by
bringing them together, they can be more readily
supplied with the necessaries of life.

THE FRED. DOUGLASS LECTURE ONCE

The originatOrs of the disgracefIl scheme to
break up respectable church organization tor
the purpose OF getting a prominent rostrum T.
illuminate against the President the animosi-
ties Of ''disaffected" politicians Of the Wendell
Phillips school, find their situation so unenyi-
able that they are resorting to all sorts OF
lodges to relieve themselves from odium. We
say scheme" and We charge deliberately upon
the irire -Uorkers in the affair-not the "lady
Managers" who are put forward to pull the
chestnuts from the fire for the cunning old po-
Iiucai grimalkin behind the curtain-that they
have aimed in this whole affair to gain posses
sion OF Washington pulpit OF prominence to
be used as foot-hold Tor a politico-religious
anti-Administration crusade
The pretext that Fred Douglass was trotted
out at the First Presby teran Church pulpit
under the auspices of white-hot radicalism to
deliver his lecture simply to gain a few dollars
for benevolent purposes is pure fudge. The
Chronicle of yesterday lets the cat out of the
bag in saying that it and its confreres are max
ing this fight on ''prnciple." 1t is not matter
of a charity benefit, or concerning individuals
but one Of 'sprInciple." We all understand
what that word means in the mouths of
the Fred Douglass Wendell Phillips Chronicle
tribe who are just now yelpmg against the
President son principle" The virtuous Joseph
Surface did not more ostentatiously plant him.
self on sentiment than do the Fred Douglass
Wendell p hillips- Chronicle co-partners lust
now on ''principle."
An offer was made by the officers of the
church TO give money equivalent to the Col
ored Home if their pulpit could thereby be
saved from the dissertation threatened. As we
stated on Saturday, this did not suit the pur-
poses Of the Wendell Phllipsites. 1t was cum
ningly calculated that the old members Of the
church, who built il and made it what il Is
Disguised by the facile surrender OF the house
by its minister for such base purposes, would
withdraw in a pet, leaving ii an easy prey for
the radical warrIors And intense is the howl
of rage set up by this precious set of intrguers,
through the columns of the Chronicle, Oh find
ing that the respectable and responsible
members of that congregation, who have
borne the heat and burden in it for
SO many laborious years, utterly de-
cline to fall into the trap set for them, and
mean sturdily to maintain their rights. This
precious plot to dispossess them Is the secret of
the infamous assaults made upon these gentle
men daily in the columns OF the Chronicle.
Neither the officers or congregation of the
First Presbyteria Church have entered into
any s.crusade" against DIR. Sunderland, for
whom they have, we doubt rot, the kindest
feelings, despite the ridiculous capers he cuts;
but If the Chronicle means to say that a large
majority OF the congregation does not seriously
disapprOye of his recent course lii the matter
of the Fred. Douglass lecture, that paper will
doubtless be better informed ere many days.
