Here, then, is fair ground whereon the
devotees of Greenbacks may meet us II they WILL
We want no better Currency than Greenbacks'

With -Four Hundred Millions Of Greenbaeks,
Three Hundred Millions in notes of our National
Banks, and at least Two Hundred Millions OF
Coin, we shall have very abundant Circulating
Medium; but we are reconciled to that. what
we are not reconciled to- and do not intend to be,
is a debased Curency-a Currency OF fog-a
"now you see it, and now you don't" Currency
"a Currency of willfully broken promises ana
stereotyped lies. If Mr. Sherman desires such a
Currency. he is not so sound thinker and legs-
lator as we had supposed him. Such Currency
will involve us in imminent perils and invoke
grave disasters. 1t will stimulate excessive In
portations. no matter how high the Tariff. IL

gambling of all kinds. 1t will lead this country
by Aowery paths to. precplce whence We

We move the Previous Question-that con-
corning the right Of our Government to lie when
there is no need of it, In time OF war, and Of
enormous Financial requirement, when nobody
wanted to lend it money, the Government Is
sued its own notes and made them Legal
tender. We hold it was perfectly right in so
doing. But you must not (says Burke) make
the extreme medicine of the Constitution It's
daily bread. You cannot persist after Peace IN
a suspension of the Habeas Corpus, nor in many
other practices perfectly justifiable amid the
exigencies of terrible war. If the Government
shall undertake to maintain Currency Imitation
after Peace shall have been fully restored, 1t
will fail because it should, and because all ex-
cuse for such debasement will have utterly
passed away.

A NEW CAPITOL.

Certain active and INSCRIPTIONS property
holders in Albany lobbied through our last in
famous Legislature bill providing for the erec-
ton of a new Capitol in that city. The cash
cost of their business operation was $l3,OOOi
cheap enough; but the ruling spirits of that
Legislature had sold themselves so many times
that there was no wear and tear of either con-
science or character to be considered and they
concluded that official corruption ought to be
cheaper when taken wholesale. A bill Is now
before the present Legislature approprlatlne
$500, 900 to commence the work, at a time
when labor and materials are fifty per cent.
above natural prices, and when our people are
sweating under load of taxation heavier than
was ever borne by so many persons since the
taxing decree of Caesar Augustus.
We protest against one dollar being appropra'
ted to this object this year. or at any time until
the people shall have had chance to vote on
the future location of the Capital. If they vote
for Albany, we will consider when and what
sort of Capitol to build. In our judgment
large majority would prefer another location;
and we think the voice of the people should be

would have followed, whether they were

requires the keeping of troops for putting down

We hope the House Of Representatives will

The excitement in regard to the Fenian foray

As usual in such excitements there Is upon the
Savings Banks and the small depoitoIs are converting
their balances into gold.
The people and the newspapers are very i-tempered
and constantly berate the United States Government
because they do not restrain the dreadful invaders who
are TO comedy and-by-to snatch Canada from the
hands OF Queen Victoria.
Our principal amusement now consists in watching
the eyoutons Of the militia. There are drills many
times O day and the poor victims look the picture OF
despair.
All our public buildings strongly guarded our
banks are restricting their discount line to the most

parts of the world, on whose behalf they as

they request suspension of business in the

"COuTROLLERo CLARK.

The letter of Comptroller of the Currency
Clark to the Secretary Of the Treasury, pub.
lished in The TRIBUNE yesterday, may be oil
importance 20 the writer, but in this latitude it
is regarded as an impertinent interference OF a
subordinate with matters solely in charge OF the
Secretary of the Treasury, who very justly COM
mands the confidence Of the financial public to
q rare degree. His Fort Wayne speech and his
official report, togethcrwit his prudent admin
stration OF the Treasury, have already put the
country far on the road to specie payments, to
the dlsmay of crowd of wildcat" bankers in
Washington and elsewhere, who see in specie
payments the end of those speculations, upon
which the few have grown rich at the expense
Of the Government and the people.
In all the negotiations of Mr.. McCulloch,
he haf acted within the law, whether IN con-
vertine compound notes or 7-30s into long
bonds, or ore class Of short securities into an
other. The right was conceded by the law OF
JULY IL. lS62, which gives the Secretary OF
the Treasury power to purchase at rates not
exceeding that of the current market and cost
Of purchase not exceeding one-eighth of one per
cent any bonds or certificates OF debt OF the
United States as he may deem advisable.
These powers were further enlarged by the act
Of March 3, l-6j, which enacts that "any treas
ury notes or other obligations bearing interest,
issued under any act Of Congress, may, at the
discretion OF the Secretary Of the Treasury and
with the consent of tie holder, be converted
into any description Of bonds authorized by
this act"
The Comptroller" Is equally ignorant when
he challenges the correctness Of the balances in
the Treasury. Not being familiar with any.
thing beyond his own bureau of circulation, he
does not know that the nominal balance in the
Treasury represents in part the sums due to dis
bursting officers, the aggregate amount of which
may be Judged from the fact that in this city, on
the LIST inst, they were 81, 3l2,970, so that
though the nominal balance at New-York was

Presiden. has never entertained the idea of
using force to interrupt the revolutionary
proceedings of the seth Congress, but they
are greatly mistaken who believe that Gen.
Grant either sides with Congress or is an
Indifferent spectator to the exciting scenes
now being enacted here. He and all his
staff are to-day the warmest friends that
Andrew Johnson has got in the United
States, and nothing has been done so far by
the President, nor in all likelihood will be
done in future, that has bot and win not

general. And there R another general to
whom TIE country is not less indebted than
to Gen. Grant for its victory over the re-
bellion, Gen. Sherman. He has always
differed from Grant is displaying a willing
ness to speak his mind fully. It is not
necessary to say that he indorses all that
the President has done, and favors a good
deal more than the President is likely to do.

Gen. Grant and the President.

The special Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Times has the following in
reference to the relations between the Presi-
dent and Gen. Grant, which, if true, will
be gratifying to all friends of constitutional
liberty:
A writer in the Chicago Tribune, after
taking it for granted that the coup d'etot
will be attempted, consoles himself with the
belief that Gen. Grant will be found on the
side of Congress and against the President.
He is very much mistaken. Gen. Grant,
always wisely reticent on political subjects,
is more reticent than ever just now; hut
he has said enough within two weeks to
convince all who heard him that he is the
fast and firm friend and adviser of the
President, and that his only complaint on
this score is that the President ''has not
gone far enough" The Radicals have
made desperate efforts to convert The lieu
tenant general, but they have not sue
ceeded.
Washburn has pledged TO him the next
presidency, though it was difficult to find
out by whom be was authorized to do so;
but it has had no effect. Gen. Grant has
done too Iauch for the cause Of the Union
to be alienated by party Of Northern dis
uuionists from the sympathy with man
who is honestly and sincerely endeavoring
to give to the country the fruits of the vic
tories Of Gettysburg, Yicksburg and Rich
mond.
