Importance of Southern RestOra.
tion Financially Considered.

Importance of Southern RestOra.
tiOn Financially Considered.
Mr.. McCul'och, Secretary of the
Treasury, in his annual report, insists
again on the restoration of the Southern
States as question of paramount i'm
portance, and says: 70 non.-
''7' A curtailment of the currency and the
maintenance of the public faith are not
all that's required to restore the country
to perfect financial health. We need, in
addition Ito these, united country
united in fact as we'll as in name.
1t may not be proper for the Sec
retary in this report q to discuss
the measures regarded by him as best
calculated to bring about this
most desirable result. This, however,
j he feels it to be his duty to say, as he
substantially said in his last years re-
port, that the question of reconstruction,
as purely financial question, is, in his
q Judgment, second in Importance to none
that Congress will ever be called upon
to consider. The great staples of the
South have for many years constituted
the cotton held in that section at the
close of the rebellion, the foreign ex-
z change would have been so largely
q against the United States that Rcommer-
! cial revolution would have been immi-
nent, if not unavoidable. ...-.... 81
Even in the deplorable condition of
: these States, last year more than two
: thirds of our exports consisted of their
! productions, and it is the crop of the
present year-small though it may be-
that is to save us from ruinous indebted
ness to Europe. 1t is of the greatest
moment, therefore, that the productive
power of the Southern States should be
restored as rapidly as possible. Little
progress has been made in this direction
during the past two years, and no real
progress will be made until their poli;i-
cal condition is. determined by their
restoration to the Union, with all the
rights and privileges of other States,
under the Constitution. The Secretary
does not allude to this subject for the
purpose of calling the attention of Con.
gress to it, This is unnecessary. - 1t is
absorbing the public attention, and the
further action of Congress in relation to
it will be watched by the people with
intense solicitude. Upon the judicious
settlement of it depends. in great de-
gree, the national prosperity. The
views presented by the Secretary, upon
this subject, in his last report, are equal
ly appropriate at the present time.

from Mexico states that the Ministry
desired to resign, but were retaining their

be fully recognized for business. 1t was
expected that President Juarez would
renominate the same Cabinet that accom-
panied him to Pas del Norte, during the
trying days of the Intervention. Some
anxiety is created by the move depriving
the amnestied Imperialists of seats in
Congress, after they had been admitted.

levies which have been or may be under
execution, issues from any court of this
State shall be suspended till this Con.
vention shall have taken or refused to
take final action upon matters of relief,
and that all sales under execution in
violation of this ordinance, shall be null

Court of Georgia having decided the
stay law of the last Legislature TO be
unconstitutional.
This ordinance, which it is understood
will be enforced by Gen. Pope, will
operate as bar to illegal action upon
private debts, until the Convention can
