NOT PROSCRIP-
TIVE

1t appears, as we fully expected it would,
that the Southern Constitutional Conventions
manifest complete willingness to be rea-
sonable The Radical majorties composing
them desire to frame a Constitution which
shall not be voted down by the people, nor
disapprovcd by Congress. In order that
their labor shall be of any avail, il is ncccs-
sary that il pass both these ordeals. AS
natural result, they are proceeding with
great caution, real prudence, and desire TO
incorporate such features as shall not be
seriously obnoxious to any class whose ap-
proval il is desirable or necessary to have.
OF course they cannot hope TO frame such a
system as shall please the most violent of
the rebel element. But they will, no doubt,
gain the support of the more reasonable and
Conservative among the opposition.
From Alabama, where the Constitution is
now in session, we have had daily reports,
in advance of any definite conclusions by
that body, of what it would do, or propose
to do, and the Democratic press have been
industri0usly circulating these to show how
"violent, and proscriptive' would be tie
character of the new Constitutions. But the
fact appears to be that the majority of the
members have no such spirit. They want
to proceed in accord with Congress, and
Willingly acquicsce in the wishes of the
Republicans of that body. The franchise
clause, which will doubtless be adopted by
the Conventions is of course one of the most
important, and this, it proves, is by no means
proscriptive or severe 1t DISTINGUISHES no
body, not alrea ]y thrown out by the Recon-
struction Acts, except those who were guilty
OF inflicting cruel or unusual punishment on
any soldier or citizen of the United States,
during the Rebellion. A clause disfranchis-
ing thereafter all who, being entitled to vote,
shall refuse to do so, on the question of
adopting this Constitution, was struck out
of the majority report by the Convention.
1t is gratifying, indeed, to see the Southern
Republicans proceeding with so much dis
crction. Patriotism and common sense we
take to be the best elements whereof to form

While we for hopeles passion die;

Were but men nobler than they are.
Eagerly once her gracious ken
Was turned upon the sons of men,
But light the serious visage grew

Exuenses In virginia.

A cock -and-b story has been recently
set afloat by the agent OF the Associated
Press at Richmond, to the effect that the
expenses of registration in Virginia were
$2aa, 900, and that the military government
of that State had cost $4,000, 600 during the
last ten months. OF course all the Demo
cratic papers fastened to copy this false
statement, and TO so into explosions of yir-
tuous indignation over it. 1t seems, however
that the official figures on the Paymaster-
Generals books, show that only $500, 600
had been sent into the State on account of
reconstruction expenses up to Oct. l2,which
was several weeks after the completion of
registration, and that up to that date less
than $3.50, 900 had been used. Figures at
the War Department will show no addition
al expense on account of troops serving in
Virginia over the the usual expense attend
ing the same number stationed elsewhere,
while the report Of General Howard, just
made, shows the total expense of the Freed
mems Bureau, in all the States, for eleven
months previous to September lst, to be only
SO, 800, 600. So much for so much

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.

1t has now been several weeks since the
TRIBUNE resolutely and boldly defined
its course in opposition to further smothering
of the industries of the country by that great
constructor, and Andy johnson pet, the Sec
rctary of the Treasury. We have demanded
and do demand, cessation of contraction. "
1t is n failure, and a humbug We arc no
nearer to specie payments, while the indus
try and business of the country are infinitely
worse of, now, than when the contraction
unhappily commenced
So far from there being too..much currency
in the country there is too little--far too
little. Fifty per cent, should be added to it
in the right sections of the country and
the nation would be immensely benefited.
We must be economical, in the expcndi-
ture of the public money. Necessity COM
pels us to be. The more revenue we get
from customs the heavier our importations
must be, and the heavier they are the more
is the balance Of trade against us. Nations.
like individuals, cannot continue to spend
more than their income.
And while the customs cannot be increas-
ed, the internal revenue taxes must be light
encd. The labor of the country is now over
taxed, and driven out of employment.
Such imports as those on sugar and cotton
operate badly. They will have to be remov-
cd.
Then with this decrease, rather than in
crease, we are forced to economizc. We
must. Secretary Stewards insane passion
for spending immense sums in the purchase
of more territory, when we have already as
much as we can properly control, and when
by waiting we shall, in time, get all our
ncighboring soil, for nothing, cannot be
gratiicd now. Grants economy in the War
Department shows what may be done.
There is no hurry about paying of the
National debt. Let ii be funded into a
long loan, and every year as the nation
grows stronger we shall be better able to
carry ii.
These are the conclusions of the hest men
ot the Republican party, everywhere. We
are glad il is so.

Tho statements recently given to the pub
lie by Mr.. Carey, relative to the unequal dis
tribution of the National Banks, have at
tractcd very naturally and reasonably, much
attention. We give in this article some
further figures. In December OF last year,
since when there have been but very few
new banks authorized, and little il any in
crease of circulation, there were 1868 Nation
al banks existing, with capital of AZ mil
lions. OF these 490,or more than one fourth,
were in the six New England States, As be-
ing in the city of Boston. New York State
alone had 30S, of which IS were in New
York City.
In all the immense country, south of Penn
sylvania, and west of Ohio, there were dut
l5s Banks UiM a capitatof about secen-
IN millions, five millions less than was
located in the City of New York, alone. In
the number of banks and their capital, Bos-
