The financial question, and especially that
part Of II relating to the currency, is tho
most important one with which the country
has to deal, and we urge upon Congress its
immediate consideration. The legal tender
notes are being contracted at q rate which Is
disturbing the money market and paralyzing
trade and manufactures all over the land, and
the financial and commercial community look
forward with extreme apprehension to the
future. This condition Of things Is
favorable to panic and widespread dis
aster, and should not be allowed to continue.
The present law authorizes the Secretary Of
the Treasury to contract United States notes at
rate not exceeding four millions a month,
and he Is availing himself Of the full extent Of
bis authority, besides secretly converting, from
time to time, compound interest notes, which
are also legal tenders, into other kinds Of secu-
rites. II therefore devolves upon Congress-
In view Of the depression which prevails In all
departments Of trade and manufactures, to
withdraw oil power from the Secretary Of the
Treasury to contract the currency, leaving the
latter to be regulated by natural laws. Pro-
vision should also be made against a contrac-
ton of compound interest notes, except, per-
haps, at the rate of ten or twenty millions o
year, as they mature, as these are held equally
with greenbackH as bank reserves.
The legal tender issues have already been
contracted nearly a hundred and thirty-four
millions since the beginning Of June, 1865, and
although this decrease has been thus far neu-
tralized by an increase Of nearly hundred
and sixty-one millions In national bank notes,
the reduction of legal tenders has been too
rapid for the good of the country, and point
has now been reached when 1t is time TO stop
contraction and avert panic. Already, owing
to tho prevailing depression the revenue re-
ceipts are largely falling of, while immigrants
from the Old World are returning in great
numbers, owing to a lack OF employment for
them. This is serious state of affairs, and II
call. To persevere in the policy Of cOntrac-
ton In the face Of grave dangers such as
menace US Ia simply suicidal, and Congress
should leave nothing to the discretion of the
Secretary of the Treasury in a matter Of such
importance to the trade, commerce and general
welfare of the nation. Let us have no more
contraction OF the currency under existing cir
cumstances, and let all legislation on the sub
ject be specific. Then confidence in the sta
bility Of values will be restored and the coun-
cry will make moro rapid strides in Its career
Of prosperity.

the Supreme Court for their forfeited rights
under the constitution. They stand subject to
the terms of restoration which the United
States Of the war may think ct to impose.
The States constituting our general govern
ment de facto and de j,re during the war are
still in law the United States and the States
still excluded on account OF the rebellion have
no right to . voice in the matter Of constitu-
tional amendment, although Il may be imposed
upon them az condition Of restoration, or as
the supreme law everywhere under the federal
jurisdiction, when ratified by three-fourths Of
facts and their logical results not with theories,
ignoring the final decisions of the war. Next
in order Il follows that as The terms of
Southern restoration belong to the lawmaking
power OF the government, all that the Execu-
tive has done in the way Of Southern recon-
struction, il disapproved by Congress, falls to
the ground and the States concerned stand as
they stood with Kirby Smiths surrender-sub-
ject to the terms which Congress may deem
proper and expedient, even to the extent Of
the obliteraiion Of their State boundaries.
Such, from the decisions Of the war, are the
powers Of Congress over this question. But
the fact must not be forgotten In this connec-
ton that in absorbing foreign State we
absorb Its obligations. The rebel States, as
members Of the Union, each In Its State capa-
city before the war, had incurred heavy bill
of State debts, ranging from ten to forty or
fifty millions, more or !s:s, lQE esch State
Those debit by sssh Of the States concerned
are now held as binding upon them 4; and, Il
We act consistently with the grand issue Of the
war, that the rebel States with their subjuga-
ton ceased to exist as States, We must at least
assume the debts which they owed down 70

states The rights, powers and obligations of

recurs, VIII Il be best with the full powers Of

Special Dispatch to the St Louls Repable can
WASHINGTON, April l9.-The senate
has been at work in earnest to-day, and
held a session lasting for some time this
evening. During the days session the
nominations of Raymond to Austria and
Gen. Heron for the Louisiana marshall
ship, occupied the greater portion of the
time. The two New York senators urged
the confirmation Of Raymond, but he
was virtually rejected, by being laid on
the table by a large majority. Senator
Nye made a speech bitterly opposing
him as one Of the prime movers of the
Philadelphia convention. No action re-
suited in the case Of Gen. Heron.
A committee appointed to wait on the
president TO inform him that the sem
ate was ready tO adjourn tomorrow,
and ask him il he had any further com
munications to make, waited on him
this evening, and he replied that he had
more business Tor the senate, but it was
not Of a character to detain them and
he would not therefore insist on their
detention.
Senator Wilson left tonight for Or
aDge Courthouse, Va, to commence a
general stumping tour throughout the
south. he intends to speak OF every
imPorta2Ltown and city in the seaboard

ceived additional particulars relative to

out that one of the principal parties who
sWore to the implication of Belknap, and
who got him dismissed from the service,
is one of the real thieves, and has been
doing business as broker under an as
sumed name in Wall street. An effort
to get three of them out of jail on a writ
Of habeas corpus was made here to-day.
The regular cabinet meeting occurred
to-day, which prevented the usual daily
reception given by the president to those
who call upon him. The meeting
lasted two hours. All were present but
Stanton.
The counsel engaged in behalf of the
Georgia and Mississippi injunction cases
held a consultation to-day, and agree
that Chas. 0'ConnOF should address the
supreme court in the Georgia case, and
that Judge Black should speak in the
Mississippi case. The argument will be
heard on the Goth, and u decision is
expected as early as the succeeding Mon
day.
