A Timely Suggestion.

The greenbacks retired from circulation
between April 1st and June 1st of this year
amounted to twenty-one and quarter mil
lions. Would it not have been better to
have purchased Government bonds with
these in the. open market, and cancelled
them, instead of destroying the currency :?
Not only would twenty and half millions,
if not more, of interest bearing debt have
thus been liquidated, but there would also
have been effected, for all time, saving of
taxes to the people for interest of one and
the volume of currency so much priced by
the working people, and so much needed to
encourage and sustain home industries,
would have remained unimpaired. Redu-
cling the debt by destroying the currency on
ly renders it more difficult for the people to
obtain funds for meeting their taxes, with
out lessenlng those taxes a dime. Press.

Miss Clara Benton has been before
the Committee on Reconstruction,
and the following appears in her tes-
timony:
@. What can you say in regard to
their (the negroes) general truthful
ness? How, in that respect, 20 they
compare with hite"people in simi-
hr condition of life, if it were posi-
BILE to suppose such similarity?
A. They have been, in great mea-
sure, taught to speak falsely ana 70
act falsely.
Q. Taught by whom?
A. Their very condition has taught
them that. The condition of slavery
teaches falsehood But there is q
principle of religious character in
their nature which, holds them above
white people of as low grade. They
are more religious, but the nature of
their condition has not made them
moral.
To be ''more religious than moral"
'swhile speaking and acting falsely"
shows an opinion less favorable to the
negro character than we had sup
posed. This is the class of people
which it is insisted shall be at once
endowed with the great boon of fran
chise; and if the grant is not made,
that the penalty is to keep eleven
States and their inhabitants unrepre-
sented. d.-Neao York Espress.
In the debate in the House, on
Thursday, in relation to vignettes on
the currency, one member sent to the
clerks desk new table of values
which read thus: "Two Clarks make
one Washington; two Washingtons
and one Clark make one Fessenden;
two Fessendens make one Spinner;
two Spinners make one Chase; five
Chases make one Madison" &c.
