THE NATIONAL BANKS.

We print in another place letter from the
Hon Demas Barnes, NJ. G., in favor OF
forcible withdrawal Of the National Bank cur
rency and a substitution of Greenbaeks there
for. We do not believe this wise, amt we 40
not concede that Mr.. Barnes sets forth our
strongest objections thereto. Some OF THESE
are as follows:
|. Such a substitution would interpose new
obstacle to Resumption. A full year, at least
would be required to effect the substitution
and meantime Resumption must be lett III
allegiance. We want to resume nor.
III. Every repudiatOr-every advocate OF pay
ing gold debts in greenbacks-sides with Mr.
Barnes. They all condemn the National Bank
notes, and wish to see them abolished We do
not like their company.
III. What the country needs,.in our judg-
ment, is Resumption-eyery dollar in circula-
ton equal in value to gold or silver dollar
neither less nor more. Then it would be OF
little consequence whether it were issued di-
rectly by the Government or by Banks
based on deposit of Government securities.
Yet we feel that Mr.. Jay Cookies Dutchman
was right in his demonstration that dollar
which had Bank and the Government both
behind it was better secured than il it had the
Government alone. n
w. AS to saving $2OOOO,OO0 by forcing the
National Bank notes out of circulation, we hold
that it could not be effected, nor the half OF It,
Mr. Cooke has thoroughly dissiDated that fall
lacy. He shows that very large proportion
Ito say the least) of all that the Banks make
ON their circulation they return to the commu-
nity in the shape of taxes But we do not rest
On this. We hold that it will be far easier to
resume and maintain Specie Payments with
900 Banks redeeming i'll GreeDbacks (of course,
obliging each to keep large stock on hand)
than it would be if all our Currency were
Greenback, so that there would be no strong
pecuniary interest adverse to their redemption
and destruction. We believe $1OOOOO,OOO III
coin would go further TO maintain Specie Pay
ment than twice the amount with the National
! Bank circulation abolished.
| Y. We distrust the Governments competency
| to do a safe and wholesome Banking business.
| We see not why it might not az wisely undertake
that of Life, or Fire, or Marine Insurance, or
| that of the Savings Banks. The money that was
borrowed of the People through the instrument
atty of the National Banks could not have been
so easily nor so rapidly borrowed without them.
In short, we prefer to let alone every part OF
| our financial system that is doing well, at least
till we can correct what is manifestly i'll. we
have had several different currencIles, put 40
predecessor, on the whole, so sound and uni
| form "a the present will be when we get back
70 Specie Payments. We choose to let well

The Senate proceedings yesterday were not
especially interesting Aresolution was adopted
declaratory of the section of the Tariff act
concerning imported wool another requiring
all money received for sales of captured
and abandoned property TO be forthwith
paid into the Treasury. A resolution
granting the use of the Senate Chamber to The
Rev. Newman Hall was lost, the sentiment
being against allowing the room to be used
for any public meetings except those of Con-
greSs. A resolution was carried inquiring into
the expediency of reduction of the army.
In the House bill to prohibit further reduc-
ton of the currency was referred. The con-
tested seat case Third District Of Kentucky
was debated, and finally the papers were sent
to the Committee on Elections The Speaker
then announced the Standing and Joint Com
mittees for the XLth Congress. On the call
for bills, one was offered to reduce and
reorganize the army; one to pay the pub
lie debt in accordance with The acts con.
tracing it, and in lawful money one to
repeal the cottOn-tax; one for the redemption
of legal tender notes ono in reference TO the
annexation of Mexico; half dozen more about
currency and the debt; also an eight
hour bill. The resolution concerning the
Fenians claiming to be American citizens

1t seems to be settled that the European
Conference for the solution of the Roman CUES
ton viii take place. Russia and Austria, and
most of the smaller States have declared their
readiness to take part. The replies of Prussia
and England are not yet known, but it is
thought that that of Prussia will be favorable,
and that the objections which have been raised
by England will be only formal. The Holy
Father has withdrawn his opposition, but
appears TO have but little confidence in the
whole affair, and has, in advance, protested
against any further infringement Of the Temporal
Power. The protest is not likely to be of much
avail, and the assembled Governments, If they
can expect to increase the prospects of peace will
not heed the Pope's protest any moro than they
did at the Congress of Vienna, in 1885, when tho
Pope was the only power who--though entirely
in vain-prOtested against the reorganization
of Europe. .... ''

The mysteries of the wal are being sradu-
ally cleared up, but there is one mystery still
shrouded in darkness which demands search
ing investigation. We alude to the case Of
Gen. Stone. Few officers of our army had a
more enviable personal record than he. and
few have had a more unfortunate history.
There is general impression that he was the
victim of some objectionable oppression, and
for the credit of his superiors, as well as his
own reputation, strict inquiry seems abSo-
lutely necessary. We trust that it viii be no
longer deferred.
