CURRENCY NOTIONS.

Bullion" writes us in depreciation of any form
of Paper money, and in demonstration OF the
assumed advantages of a currency composed Oh
coin alone. We give hin hearing, but cannot
agree with him. If he had undertaken to show
that all yardsticks measures, scale and steel
yard weights, of quantity, &C., &c, ought to
be made of gold since that metal is not subject
to expansion by heat or contraction by cold,
he would doubtless have argued ingenously,
but not conclusivey to our mind. We object TO
a currency exclusively metallic that it does not
fully subserve all the ends of true circula-
ting medium. We, for instance, receive large
amounts in sums of 81 up to $40 from sub
scribers and advertisers scattered all over
the country; and a paper currency is
greatly superior to any other for our use.
Forty dollars would be lost from let
tiers in transit if those dollars were
metallic where one is lost when transmitted in
bank notes or greenbacks. Banks now settle
balances of millions in few moments, when
hours would be required if those differences
were adjusted in coin. And these are but
samples. And, when you place the gold in
vault and issue bank notes based thereon, you
expose the public to losses through embezzle-
ment or defalcation many times greater than
Mt present when such losses are usually made
up out of the profits of circulation, &c.
We do not agree that $10O,000,000 would be
an adequate circulating medium for this great
country. We remember times when there was
little money in the land-when workmen were
paid off by "orders" for goods from store
and those were not good times. And finally,
our National Debt must be paid, interest and
principal; and we do not see how it could be
with currency which reduced the price of
an OK to five shillings or any thing like it. But
enough.

&c PFHOLUTJONARY MEASURESp

Mr.. Andrew johnson is reported in recent
private conversation for the enlightenment OF
mankind to have said:
"The President Is elected directly by the people, and
is therefore as directly their representative as Con-
gress is"
The President is not elected "directly by
81 the people," but by colleges of electors. And
Mr.. Johnson was not elected President by any
body. unless it was Wilkes Booth. We east
one of the electoral ballots that made the
President in 1864, and we certainly did not
cast it for Andrew Johnson, nor with intent
to make him President. So here is one mistake
corrected.
The President is chosen TO execute the laws
which Congress cnacts. Mr.. johnson is doing
his very best to evade paralyze, nullily the
acts of Congress. And this is the sole cause of
trouble at the Capital and in the country. If
Mr. johnson would in good faith do the work
which pertains to his Office there would be no
need of amending the Reconstruction acts. All
that Congress has done at this session or Is
doing with reference to Reconstruction, Is to
c0unterval Mr. Johnson's incessant machina-
tons to crcumvent or subvcrt the laws of the
land
The only revolution yet attempted in this
country since 1877 was that of the Slayehold-
ing aristocIacy when, in 1sGO-G1, they attempted
to abolish a Federal government based on the
principle that "all men are created equal,
and establish instead one based on the counter
vaing assumption that "this is a White Mans
government wherein Blacks are naturally
and properly serfs and vassals Their Vice
President Stephens, in great speech, claimed
that Jeflerson's doctrine was erroneous, and
that theirs was the first government in history
ever based on the great philosophc truth that
mems rights are naturally unequal. Andrew
Johnson-a poor White-took ground against
the aristocracy and its revolt, and pro-
claimed the doctrine, directly antagonist
to theirs, that Loyal lMen, Black
or White, must rule America" On the
strength of that doctrine he was made Vice
President; from that doctrine he has since
shamefully apostatized He is now trying TO
build up that barrier of Inequality and Caste
which the Republic, in crushing out the Slave
holders Rebellion, leveled with the dust. He
is the head center of the reaction against 10y
atty and Liberty, and ought to be its candidate
for next President. We hope he may be.
Then, if he gets elected, he may boast of being
a representative of the people Now lac repre-
scnts only his own apostasy and most migrate
full treason.

one white for the deportation of three
hundred thousand pale-faces9 Is it a ques-
ton of birthrght9 There are not proba-
bly, ten colorcd persons in Virginia who
were not born on the soil of the
United States. Many thousands of them owe
their existence to the liberal opinions and ANA
tory dispositions of the original and unadul-
terated chivalry. In South Carolina there are
ten times as many foreign-born Whites as there
are foreign born colored persons in Virginia.
So it seems that the answer to the Virginia
scheme of deportation is perfect; and, as the
movers base their proposed action upon the
last and worst of arguments-the power of num-
bers-we shall not expect complaints from
them if "the invention, being taught, should
"return to plague the inventor" South Caro-
lima may possibly expatriate as well as Virginia.

There is just now in the South increased agi-
tation about the removal of the cOlored popula-
ton. At meetings of statesmen out of place,
of planters, and Conservatives of the common
sort, it is proposed to memorabilia Congress with
view to the establishment of grand colony
for the deep black, pale black, black -and-tan,
and gingerbread, bone and muscle of the lately
rebellious States. In the Virginia Convention,
the other day, delegate made a Brooksy sort
of speech in favor of the deportation of much
of the most aristocratic blood of that State.

From an Occasional Correspondent.

OCCASIONAL Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan II, 1863
We have had a second days discussion on
the financial question, and vote on Senator Ed
munds's amendment, which shows that the Senate is
just about as much demoralized as the House. In
the debate We had the precious declaration from
Senator Morton, who it is understood has some pre-
tensions to craftsmanship, that he wished TO see an
end put to contraction JorerG The Senator had tho
grace, previously. to acknowledge that he himself
personally, knew little nothing about the subject
and was only endeayorng to reflect the views of tho
great majority of people outside Is il on such froth
as this that the Senator expects to achieve national
roputationi He has had the usual Congressional
cation in which to learn his lesson. after the habits
of members and opportunity TO recite IT, But he
seems to have made but poor of his opportunities.
Yet he claims the attitude of leader Senators
and Representatives speak from high platform.
toward which the public eye is always turned. This
fact gives consequence or at least prominence to
utterances that if sent to public journal of reputa-
ton for publication would promptly find their way
into the rubbsh-basket.
Mr. Cattell Of New-Jersey treated us TO something
like augmentation the side Of the inhationists.
He at least showed that he had ideas of his own, and
sufficient regard TO his reputation to put them into
ineligible shape. The burden of his speech was
that we had been contracting too fast, faster than
the business and industry Of the country could stand
That we had got the circulation down since April,
1866, some 40 millions Perhaps. 40 millions, as
alleged by Mr.. Sherman, who seems to have made
mistake of 20 Millions but this is unimpOrtant
But, whether the contraction has been too fast or
too slow it is not great Congress in its vote al
lowed the Secretary to make and not so great as u
was expected be would make when the authority was
given. The argument of Mr. Cattell was there
FORE substantially against the whole policy of con
traction.
1t is almost dverting to observe the augmentation
of the infatonists Oh this point. They allege THE
enormous reduction, and cry out tha it srulning the
country. Now, will it be believed that the aggregate
greenback and bank circulation is to-day as great as
it was in April, 1866. into 100000
The figures as furnished by Mr.. Sherman are a. fol-
lows, emitting fractions. The circulation IN iS',
