THE LOAN BILL.

II will be seen, by reference to our report OF
the action Of the House on the Loan Bill, that
IL finally passed by a vote OF SO to 81 with SUBJ
stantially the same amendments as were indi.
Gated by Us in our second edition yesterday
That which provides "that of the United States
notes not more than ten millions may be re.
tired and cancelled within six months from
the passage of the act, and the reafter not more
than four millions in any one month" is the
most important, and essentially m odifies the
original bill. The bill as passed may do some
what towards preparing the way for a return
to specie payment, but we fear that the House
In its anxiety to limit the po wer Of the Secre-
tary, has very much weakened the efficacy of
the bill. Thus il was admitted by Mr..
Morrill, that under the law SIT would
take the Secretary of the Treasury nine
years to fund all the legal tender circulation ~
If our return to specie basis depended Alto
gether on the operation Of this act, ample time
would certainly be afforded by it to guard
against the financial earthquake" predicted
by the opponents OF the SecreSary's policy
We are sorry the whole matter was not left to
the discretion of Mr.. McCulloch. as we believe
the interests of the Government and the people
would have been best subserved thereby. As
he pointedly says in his communication on the
subject:
'.The apprehension w hich exists that If power
Is given 10 the Secretary 10 retire United States
notes, the circulation of the country will be
ruinously contracted, is without any substan.
tial foundation. If no reliance can be placed
upon the discretion and carPiulness of the Sec
Rotary, the very condition of finances of the
country will prevent such a reduction Of the
currency as will make either a tight money
market or depress business. Authority to
reduce the currency Will go very far to pre-
vent the necessity for 8 reduction. The battle
Will be more than half fought when the Gov
eminent shall adopt a healthy financial policy"
