a FlnnnrInI huggcsIIOn,

a financial plan, proposed by the
Chicago Tribune, has attracted consid-
cradle attention. 1t is presented in u
lengthy article, but lis essential fea-
lures are thus stated:
First-Iet Congress repeal the act al
lowing the Secretary OF the Treasury
TO retire and destroy four millions
month oflegal tender notes.
s-cnnJ-Let Congress enact that
greenbacks shull be convertible into
10 40 bonds at the pleasure of the holder.
ThiTd-Let Congress enact that any
class OF bonds may be converted into
green backs, dollar for dollar, ut the
pleasure OF the holder.
Fuurth-Let the Secretary of the
Treasury be authorized to purchase
2O's at their market price, and issue
10 los in equal amount to those who
demand bonds for greenbaCks, and also
TO give IL 40's in-excbRnge for 5-2O'S on
demand OF the holder.
Fiith-Let Congress enact that the
surplus revenue in the treasury shall
each month, be applied in the purchase
OF ieH-IOTty bonds at their market
price.
Sixth-Lst Congress charge the banks
for the privilege Of their circulation two
and Il half per cent. per annum in goldi
to be deducted from the interest ON the
bonds deposited Win the bhHk SOmP
troIler for the redemption Of their notes.
The scheme proposed to lift the cur
rency to the value of the bonds by
making them exchnngeable at par, to
give the currency elasticity, for when
ever currency should become redund-
ant interest would fail and greenbacks
would he exchanged for bonds, thus
reducing the circulation. while, when
ever the circulation should become too
contracted, bonds would be exchanged
for greenbacks, thus expanding it; and
finally to lit both bonds and green
backs to par by buying up bonds at
market rates for retirement. It is rea-
soned that the competition between
government, bidding for retirement,
and capitalists, bidding for investment,
would surely force up the price OF the
bonds; that the withdrawal OF the
bonds and the consequent diminution
of their number would also enhance
their value; and that, in a short time,
we should be able to return to specie
basis without any contraction OF the
currency.

Columbus derives:its greatest supply,

THE colored children in the freed
mems schools all over the South, are
making such rapid progress in their
studies that it is stated they are really
getting more intelligent and advanced
than the great majority of the whites
in the South-that portion known as
the 'poor whites" SO great is this
progress that the Copperhead press are
sounding the key note of alarm, to the
effect that there is imminent danger of
the blacks eventually becoming the
superior race-that is superior in edu-
cation and intelligence To the white
people of the South, and that there is
great fear that the great bulk OF the
Democratic party will be obliged to
look up to the negro, and have no class
of people to look down upon hereafter.
In other words, they will change posi-
ton.
