Judge Kelley proposes to effect reduc-

AS at present organized, thus permitting the
establishment of new ones in localities
where they are needed, or il this be not done,
the substitution of currency, interest free, for
portion of the bonds now held by the
banks. He suggests that on and after a
certain date, upon the receipt into the trca-
sury of the United States of the note Of any
national bank, it shall be the duty Of the
Secretary of tie Treasury TO cause the same
to be cancelled, and, in lieu thereof, to sub
stitute and carry into the treasury note
commonly called a greenback of the same
denomination; and that, as soon as tho cur
rency issued by any bank shall be thus can
celied to the amount Of bond or bonds de-
posted by it as security for the redemption
of its currency, such bond or bonds may be
delivered to said bank. By this process
there would be neither expansion nor con
traction. bnt the United States currenc,
would be gradually substituted for The note.

The Impeachment Report VINO Wrote

1T?
In our paper of late date we said that the ma
iority report of the Judiciary Committee, on I'm
parchment sis said to have been edited by Mr..
Boutwell,, though the recital of the charges
ssagainst the President seem to bear the impress
of Judge Lawrence, OF Ohio"
The fact is that our statements lacked entire
correctness, and as everything regarding this
great State paper, which is now and forever be-
come prominent point in history, is Interesting
and really of Importance, we give 10 the public
what we learn on the highest authority. The
report of the majority was written by Mr..
Williams, of Pennsylvania; the concluding por,
tious specifying in brief the improbable
conduct of Mr.. johnson, were by Gov. Boutwell,
and he beng next on the Committee, in the or
der OF appointment, after the Chairman, who die
not agree to the report, it was submitted to tho
House by Mr.. b. Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, pre-
pared report to .ubnit to the Committee, bu
when the gentlemen on it failed to agree at thu
July session, he incorporated part of it in {
speech in Congress, of which we recently pub
lished condensation. and the remainder relating

Treasury shall redeem in gold, oil US. ie-

amounts of less than $780,, in this way :
such redemptions shall commence on the
first day of the month following the passage
of the act, 81 and during that month shall be
at the rate of one hundred dollars in gold
for one hundred and forty dollars in notes
and that the amount in notes shall be de
creased twenty-five cents per month TO
every one hundred dollars in gold until
shall be reduced to one hundred dollars"
