punishment for crime, whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, can ex~

thermore, Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropriate

Contraction.

We trust that Congress will not stop
With mere endorsement Of the views
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury, with
regard to a contraction of the currency
as set forth in his report That is very
well as far as it goes, but the country
expects something more. No time
should be lost in acting upon the recon-
'mendations of the Secretary on this
subject. Every day allowed to pass
with the present inflated condition OF
the currency is exposing the industrial
and commercial interests of the country
to an impending panic, in comparison
with which all that has gone before
would be as nothing. This fact is clearly
established by Mr.. Secretary McColloch
in his report. Possibly Congress may
discover better plan for retiring the
redundant currency than that proposed
by the Secretary Of the Treasury, but
we very much doubt it. His plan is at
once simple and feasible. He FIRST pro-
poses that the compound interest notes
shall cease to be q legal tender from the
day of their maturity. His second
proposition is to sell bonds of the
United States, bearing interest at rate
not exceeding six per cent, and re-
deemable and payable at such periods
as shall be conducive to the interests of
the Government. This would give him
an opportunity to retire,s not only COM
ooundinterest notes, but the United
States notes. By this plan, it will be
observed, no violence would be done to
any interest whatever, and, with the ex-
erc.se of a fair amount of discretion,
the work might go on almost impercep-
tibfy. Congress has already, by a very
decided vote, declared in favor of con-
traction. What is necessary now is,
that an act be passed which will put the
worksin racticaFloperation, No legis-
lation will affect so directly the interests
of SO large a number of people of the
United States. Its Influence for good
viii be felt in all sections of the coun-
try, and a neglect to act upon it win be
equally wide spread in its disastrous
consequences.-W Washington Chronicle.
