rarely importunate let him stop paying and
they all begin to want their money
As to contraction and expansion, we SIMPLY
propose to give nature chance. Let us re-
sumo forthwith; and then, if we have too
much currency, the surplus will run In and be
redeemed; while, if we have too little, we
shall readily obtain or emit more. Resumption
will, on the one hand reduce the amount OF
currency we need, by bringing prices to the
specie standard so that One Hundred Millions
of currency will serve where One Hundred
and Forty Millions are now required. Then all
our Specie-not less than Three Hundred Mill
ions Of Dollars-now merely so much metal,
like lead or cOpper-will become money again.
We doubt that an equal amount of Greenbacks
and National Bank notes together Will be can
celed by Resumption; should we be mistaken
on this point, it viii be because the currency
is redundant. We shall not run the Treasury
for gold no more will the great mass of those
who favor Resumption. If the Government
should be broken, it will be by those who de-
nounce and fight against Resumption; and we
question, not their will, but their power. Let
us, then, not cast about for the means OF
propping up Resumption, but simply and
promptly RESUME.

We reprint In another part of our columns
this morning q remarkable speech of Mr..
Robert Lowe, NJ. p, recently delivered before
the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution, on
primary and university education, considered
especially in their relations to the State. Mr..
Lowe takes the strongest radical ground for
Improvement in the prevailing educational
methods, and presents his views with equal
force of argument and brilliancy of illustra-
ton. He has no quarrel with any branch of
good learning, nor is no inclined to run tilt,
after the manner Of Jack Cade, at grammar
philology the classics, or any other of our ven
cradle and approved "humanites." But he sets
forth with not little racy aud scOrnful humor
the asinine folly of placing the study OF words
above that of things, and drilling the ingenious
youth in tho public schools with the names,
for instance, of the heart, liver, and lungs, in
tho ancient languages. without imparting the
fantest suspicion of the uses and functions
Of those organs Mr. loves views of the
case are put with the greater cogency from the
fact that he is himself one of the best edu-
Gated men in England and in his political ca
reer has been devoted to the defense of aristO-
cratic and conservative traditions. lie has been
prominent as a champion of the past against
tho spirit of modern progress; but, now that the
scepter is passing away from the class of priv
ilege to the people of the soil, he frankly ac-
knowledges the absurdity of the prevailing sys-
TEN Of British culture and calls for the sound
and rational education of the popular masses.
Mr.. Lowe sees that the time has gone by for
the control Of public affairs by the aristocracy
of wealth or of birth. The influences which are
to mold the National policy are to come from
the head aud heart of the people. The COM
mon classes should be trained to the intel
ligont discharge of their new duties, while
the superior orders should receive an education,
unlike the present pedantic and delusive sys-
TEN, which shall entitle them to the honor
which they have heretofore claimed as birth
right. Mr. Lowe confesses that, in spite of the
mint of money which has been wasted on his
own education, he often feels like a fool III the
presence of wOrkingman who knows so many
matters of practical life far better than him
self We are glad to find that Mr. Lowe does
not succumb to the chagrins and dependency
of a defeated politician. He keeps up good
heart in view of the national prospects of En-
gland and so far from sharing the panic of
Thomas Carlyle at the idea of Shooting
Niagara is ready to take his chance ofIhoat-
ing safely on the current of popular inteli-
QolCo.

Another of the small States of Europe, Swift
zerand has accepted the proposed Conference
but. on the whole it still remains extremely
doubtful whether the Conference will meet at
oil Tbe London Times yesterday had an import
ant editorial on the subject which is regarded
as rejecting the opinion both of the English
Government and the English people 1t takes
strongly ground against the Temporal Power,
expresses the belief that the Conference will
never meet and insists that Rally and the Pope
must settle their quarrels without any foreign
interference. In this question, The Times has
pnblic opinion throughout Europe on it's side,
and in such cases its undoubted editorial power
never fails to be felt.

that the currency will be governed by the law
of supply and demand. All the Govern

is insisted upon and this can never be reacheu

British proposition for arbitration because

Altogether, we should judge from our CORE
spondent's abstract that the Presidents Message
is an extraordinary Documents strange COM
pound of craftsmanship and passion. From MS
views on Reconstruction, so full of anger ana
preiudice. we turn to his views on finance,
which are patriotic and wise. There Is one
subject which the President never approaches
without making us pity him for his own
sake He should know that Reconstruction
is settled, that the destiny of the negro is be-
yOnd his control and that he might as well
attempt to bring the sheetless dead out OF their
bloody and honorable graves as to persist IN
his efforts to change it. Reconstruction has
passed into history, and the President might IA
well admit the fact The other parts OF the
Message should receive patient consideration,
as they contain much that the nation VIII
generally approve.

In our analysis of the Standing Committees
of Congress, as appointed by Speaker Colfax.
we stated that injustice is no longer done to
the West, as that section is certainly very
fairly represented both in Chairmen and IN
members of the Committees. comparison
between the number of Chairmen appointed
and the number of Republican representatives
elected by the several sections, results as
follows:
Eastern, s-Republean members OF Congress a. being
Middle, l2-Republican members OF Congress 49, being
lin3t. ,, Nv. ,,,,,
Southern including Maryland and West Virginia, D
Republican members OF Congress T. being In q
Western, including Missouri, B-Repu6llcan members
Of Congress II, being In 81. -
Pacific States, 1-Repubhcan MEMBER OF congress y
being In 3.
This establishes pretty fair appOrtOnment.
provided the distribution should be on the
basis of the number of Republican members
elected, instead of on the whole number.

In the Senate, yesterday, bill was offered to
facilitate resumption of specie payments, and
a resolution was adopted calling for names OF
counterfeiters pardoned, with names of those
recommending such mercy. The Senate, at
noon. begun the second session of the XLth
Congress (the House at the same time
commencing its second session.. An act
to establish a National School Of Mines
was introduced; also, a resolution declaring
definite policy in Indian affairs also, reso-
luton to repeal the tax on raw cotton; also,
a bill concerning the Usage Indians, all of
which were referred.
In the House, Mr.. Wilson of Iowa made a
personal explanation concerning some news
paper statements in connection with the I'M
parchment investigation; Mr.. Arnell also made
a statement in reply to the charge of giving
aid to the Rebellion. Bills were offered to
amend the Widows and Orphans Pension
act to prevent further contraction of the
currency to purchase British Columbia
and Vancouver's Island; TO make Cincinnati a
port of entry; to repeal the cotton tax; to allow
States to tax Government currency; to provide
pensions for service in Mexican and Indian
wars; for an additional District Court at AL
bany; all referred Mr.. Brooks tried to sus-
pend the previous question to adopt a fesolu-
ton to stop the contraction of the currency
but the House refused As to "a. Mr.. Banks
wanted to pass a resolution against the
doctrine of paying the funded debt
in greenbacks, but the House refused to sus-
pend the rule, only 29 agreeing. Mr.. Ashley
offered Constitutional amendment, declaring
all persons, native or naturaized, over 81 years
old, voters in their several States, compelling
States to keep up free schools, and making
Rebels above Captains ineligible to office The
Second Session of the XLth Congress then
commenced, and some discussion followed upon
the Fenian business and the conduct OF our
Consul at Dublin. The subject was finally sent
to the Foreign Affairs Committee

If the question Of Mayor lay between Hoff-
man and Wood, the only point which tax
paying voters would need decide is whether
it is cheaper to elect Mayor who allows no.
body TO steal but himself, or one who steals
nothing himself, and prevents none Of his
friends from stealing. But fortunately we are
not reduced to the choice between Wood and
Hoffman. The Republican vote, If fully polled,
numbers 10000. The Democrats will not, prob
ably, muster more than $4,000. On an equal
division between Wood and Hoffman, Darling,
if he receives the full Republican vote alone,
will DO elected. But ii is confidently prom
ised that 5000 German and Democratic votes
will also be polled for Darling. We call on
all Republicans, therefore, to sustain Darling
with their might, as the candidate who not
only ought to be but can be elected. AS it is
pretty likely that Hoffman will lead Wood in
the race, and that Darling will poll at least
higher vote than Wood, the real contest will
not probably DO between Hoffman and Wood,
but between Hoffman and Darling. Every Re-
publican vote given 10 Hoffman counts as two

Any person registered for the last State
election has right to vote to-day, provided
he has not removed from the election district
in which he was registered. His failure to
vote at the November election does not invali-,

urge all such persons to use their right or
franchise without fail to-day. One vote may
