A DEMAND FOg MORE CURRENCY

a DEMAND FOR MORE CURRENCY
New York is just now suffering from a
financial crisis. 1t appears that a num-
Der Of capitalists have combined to pro"
duce a stringency in the money market,
and have locked up about 100000 Of
greenbacks in the banks of that city.
New York is the great money center Of
this country, and it seems strange that
with the enormous amount Of greenbacks
in ejaculation, stringency could be pro-
duced in that city by the locking up Of
only ten millions. The spectators who
are in this combination have chosen a
very opportunc time for producing a strin-
gency Just when the banks are largely
drawn upon for currency to send to the
South and West to move the cotton and
produce crops, an while the United States
Treasury is selling 100000 Of gold daily
for currency, thus withdrawing from
circulation for the time about 100000 in
grcenbacks daily, or 100000 fer the
ten days during which it is contemplated
to sell gold. 1t is charged that several Of
the New \ ok city bank have aided this
combination Of capitalists. The result of
this movement has been that the rate Of
interest has been run up from three to
seven per cent, WHICH is a heavy tax
upon the business community, while trade
and commerce are seriously derangcd by
step. Thus, few individuals, by com.
bining can make money scarce, raise the
rate Of interest, Paralyze business, change
values generally TO al enormous extent,
bankrupt merchants and create wide
spread trouble. Ii is true, that banks in
Boston, Philadelphia, and other towns
the rate of interest is not so high as at
present in Nov \ orlS, having a surplus
of loanable funds, have been sending
money to New York to be loaned there.
Should this be done TO any considerable
extent, the stringency will be Te-
ReYed and interest will drop down
TO the old rate of three to
four per cent. The fact that n few
capitalists by combining and locking up
the comparatively small sum Of ten mil
lions Of currency, can produce a stringen-
cv like that which New York is now eX-
periencing, is causing a pretty wide
spread demand for more currency, and IT
is likely strong effort will be made to
prevail upon Congress to authorize per-
haps hundred millions more. The
New York World states that the artif-
cial stringcncy in the money market Is
the engrossing topic Of discussion in finan-
cial circles, and that the matter Of lock
ing up greenbacES with the cOnniyance
ofbank managers has been presented to
the Secretary OF the Treasury in letter
from Senator Morgan, and the action Of
Congress will be brought to bear on it in
the interests Of great financial enter
priseS. The New York Express says:

money business has been brought to the

bers Of Congress, who have been passing

Gen. Blair, the Democratic candidate
for the Vice Presidency, addressed an i'm
mense gathering Of people at Nation, Ill.
on Saturday. The following extract i.
truly eloquent. The description of the
spoliation and persecution to which Radi
cal despotism has subjected the Southern
States and people is vivid and the allu
sion to Virginia, the munifcent mother o.
the Northwest, sitting in chains amid
desolation and ashes, should have moved
the sensibilities of his audience, and
should bring the blush of shame to the
cheeks of her oppressors.
Gen. Blair said :
Fellow-citizens Many years ago, in
the State in which live, great man,
who had been for many years the Senator
from Missouri, had been driven from his
seat AFTER thirty years service in that
body. The people in the Congressional
district in which he lived took him and
elected him 10 the House of Representa-
Nv , anu 10 TIE HulLlluueS OI his re-
ioicing friends who focked around him
and congratulated him he uttered, in my
opinion, the nObleSt sentiment that ever
fell from the lips of an American states
man. He exclaimed, EMULATION, my
friends, is natural, but moderation is the
ornament Of victory" In that phrase, it
seems to me, there was more OF political
wisdom than is to be found in the same
number of words than ever fell from the
lips Of statesman or orator. 1t represents
the free genius of our ConstitutiOn-that
Constitution which blazes all over with
the sentiment of federation TO all. 1t is
the sentiment that commend to all my
fcllow-countrymen, because it dedicates
the triumph of the people to the public
good, and not to the malignity of few.
Never in the whole history of prosecu.
ton and prescription of nations by their
conquerors, has there been invented such
an excruciating species of humiliation and

There is no question that the Radicals
are greatly disappointed at this result.
Gov. Morton, who was at St. Catharine's,
in Canada, for his health, in August, and
was constantly visited there by his polit-
zeal friends, ridiculed the idea that the
Democrats had any strength in his State,
and talked Of Republican majority of
fifty thousand lie must have felt
quite as much trepidation, as the re-
turns of the State came in, as the
Democrats show disappointment that
they did not beat his estimate moro than
fOrty-nine thousand. The Democrats
barely failed TO carry the State this time,
but they can do it in the Presidential cleo
ton. A letter was received in Washing
ton on the Goth inst from Senator Hen
bricks expressing an abiding confidence
that Indiana will cast her electoral vote
for the Democratic ticket. After hearing
the magnificent speech Of Governor Sey-
mour at Indianapolis, Monday night, and
witnessing the effect Of his presence in
the State, leading Democrats expressed
the opinion that Indiana was good tor a
Democratic majority OF 1000.

\ CAREFUL perusal Of the Radical
press for the last ten days will satisfy
any one that the leaders are alarmed.
They vaunt loudly over what they are
pleased to call their recent victories, but
they are evidently not mistaken as to
the condition.
They admit it to be absolutely ncces-
sary for Grants election, that he should
carry Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.

the Tines mean to illustrate its statement by
pointing to the case of Alabama The terms
Of the Reconstruction law in that State were
strictly complied with. The proposed Consti-
tuition was defeated under the law ITSELF Yet
the people OF Alabama have been saddlsd with
a Constitution which they refused to accept,
and Legislature was assembled that could
have no legitimate existence save by constitu.
tonal authority and support. Can a recon
struction juggle that is made to work 10 that
way be called, in any sense, "a planl" We
charged the radical party with presenting itself
to the people without q definite plan. The
Times points to the reconstruction scheme
And we point in turn to Alabama, in proof Of
our charge.
How can our contemporary, then, with such
a deceitful and irregular working OF recon-
struoton claim that its party upholds the
"woTk performed under the law" 4" when it is
notorious, in other cases as well as that Of
Alabama, that it has wholly set the Recon
structon law aside 7 How can it say that the
whole tendency of its party's efforts sis to
secure just and permanent peace" when it
practices the grossest frauds and injustice in
the enforcement of its own policy 7 With
what truth cannot it talk of the ''settled prin-
ciples of the (Tadical party" when its action
openly bellies every profession of them The
radicals have not kept any sort of faith in this
matter. They have made law, and then
Irdmpleu upon IL. ana now tn0y D0aSt OF
having a clear and distinct "plan," and of
holding ''settled principles" II reconstruc-
tion is an accomplished fact as they insist
why does it not stand alone, instead OF having
to be Eropped up with bsyonets2 If dsloyaly
is at last thoroughly pat in subsection, why
this fear of a powerless and disfranchised mi
nority
1t was only the day before its reply to the
Post on this subject, that the Times asserted,
in an elaborate article on the same subject,
that Reconstruction sis the growth OF neces-
sity rather than the working of premeditated
plan" That is precisely what we have said,
in our arraignment Of the radical party. The
Times adds, 1--WE have always believed that a
prompt and msgnanimous settlement of the
difficulty would have been best" Then why
was not such a settlement had The Times
itself supplies the answer; shat course might
have been adopted but for Mr.. Johnson's evil
dent desire to keep the process Of restoration
in his own hands," Here is the whole secret
in phrase. 1t was jealousy of the President,
and determination to nurse this matter as a
party measure, that has kept the Union need
lessly divided for more than three years OF
peace, and drawn thirte en- hundred millions OF
dollars from the pockets of the people And
we shall neUer have restoration, if this selfish
party, which bas cOnfessedly prevented it, is
continued in power. 1t has delayed reunion,
degraded the Executive Office, ''clipped the
wings" OF the Judiciary, usurped nearly all
the powers of the people, and now proposes to
rule everywhere by the sword That is the
only distinct 'plan'' with which this revolu-
tionary faction can be fairly credited.
