the public debt The banks would generally
oppose it no doubt, as they now get the
profits upon this amount of circulation,
which they would lose by the change, but if
Gen. Buffers plan should be adopted, The
whole people would be the gamers to the ez-
tent of twenty-five or thirty millions an
nua1ly, where now the few stockholders IN
the banks reap all the harvest. If none OF
Gen. Buffers ideas were more erroneous than
this one, they would meet with little oppo-
stion from the public generally.
But the essential error in his scheme is,
that it contempiates government currency
| that is neither theoretically nor practically
payable in gold mere issue of promises
to pay, which never to be redeemed ex-
cept by other issues of other promises to
par. This would result in perpetuating the
evils of the present system, and not only
leave no hope of remedy for the uncertain
ties of a currency whose value huctuates
every day, but these evils would be greatly
aggravated by the possibility of an indefinite
i Issue of greenbacks to be put ahoat as money,
and, of course, to diminish the value of
every dollar already in circulation The
promises to pay of the United States ought
to be as valuable as the obligations of any
| other government, and would be, we think,
if there was no government money but gold
and silver, and it is precisely because gov
eminent has attempted to make money out
of pieces of printed paper valueless in them
selves, that the credit of the United States
has become SO poor. Gen. Butler seems to
think, that all we need to cure this deprecia-
ton is to print and distribute more Of these
promises to pay which is about reason
able as it would be for merchant, whose
credit was failing to attempt to restore it by
doubling the amount Of his Indebtedness.
Greenbacks will never be worth their face in
gold in the market while the government
declines to pay gold for them; and it must
decline to pay gold for them while it has
SO many more millions of greenbacks in
circulation than it has gold in the treasury.
1t is in fact extremely doubtful whether we
get back TO a gold baris until the government
ceases to issue or keep afloat as money any
thing but gold and silver, the universally
recognized measure of value.

iMPEACHMENT.-No progress has been made
with the report impeachment, and both
sides express their confidence in their ulti-
mate triumph. d" Perley" telegraphs to
the Boston Journal as follows
The canvass of the impeachers and anti
impeachers goes on at lively ratc-both
sides claiming the majority of the House.
The Republicans who are against impeach-
ment declare themselves not only certain of
defeating, but they say that they will have
a ma iority Of their own side of the House,
with all the Democratic votes to spare The
House, when full contains one hundred and
four Republicans and fifty-one Democrats and
the anti-impeachers claim eighty Republicans
who are ready at the proper time to vote in
favor of laying the whole subject on the table.
The Democrats are endeavoring to disprove
much of the evidence taken by the impeach-
ment committee, and among other things
they profess to be able to prove that Mrs
Cobb was introduced to President johnson
by two western Republican Senators. No
one of any party believes the evidence of
Lafayette G. Baker and the other detectives,
which was evidently fabricated for the occa-
sion.
We doubt whether anybody really expects
the impeachment project will succeed and
many will, no donbt, vote against it, not be-
cause they think President johnson is not
guilty of Improbable offenses, but because
they see no good to be reached by bringing
d i'm to a trial.

Redemption of Government Bonds
in Coin.

We reproduce the resolution introduced
by Senator Edmunds in the Senate last week,
and which will shortly come up for action:
Whereas. The public debt of the United
States was Except where specially otherwise
provided) contracted and incurred upon the
faith and credit of the United States that the
same would be paid or redeemed in coin or
its equivalent therefore
Resolred, By the Senate and House OF
Representatives of the United States in Con-
gress assembled that the public debt of the
United States, except in the cases wherein in
the law authorizing the same other provision
was expressly made. is owing in coin its
equivalent. and the faith of the United States
is hereby pledged in payment accordingly
Before Congress passes this resolution it
certainly ought to take full time to consider
what purpose such a resolve will be likely to
serve. :. The public debt of the United
States - has been held by the different cred
itors of the government for considerable
time. None of these creditors has. as yet.

WHICH W ANNSNAA Va lety eHC ~
about which the controversy in respect to
whether they are payable in gold has sprung
up. 1t is not under any obligation, either
legal or equitable, to pay them now, or at
any time before they fall due, in specie,
while, on the other hand, it is under every
obligation to extinguish the indebtedness on
the most favorable terms for the taxpayers,
and at the same time preserve its own good
faith and inasmuch as it has never denied
the validity of the contract entered into with
the creditors who purchased these bonds, it
can be under no obligation to offer them any
new guaranty in respect to the value of their
securities. They took the bonds on their
faith in the law, and in the representations
of the treasury department; but we doubt
whether one in ten of the purchasers consid-
cred the question whether the principal was
payable in gold. People then expected,
if they thought anything about it, as they
rather hope now, that gold would be the only
ecal tender of the country when the bonds
,houId become due. The bonds, however.

THENEw ENGLAND CONSERVATORY OF Music
The enterprise recently inaugurated at the Boston
Music Hall by Prof Tourjee, is one of the most
promising movements of the past year 1t is nothing
less than the establishment of fully organized

education, vocal, instrumental and theoretical,

Prot. Touljee inaugurated the system of class
teaching fifteen years since, in this state and after
spending much time in preparation for his work
