| THE PRESS or MONDAYS EVENTS IL CONGRESS
| NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Tribune editorial
- says of the action OF the Senate in the Stan.
! ton affair We approve of the action of the
| Senate. If law is law il must be respected
aud if the Senate did not have reasons suffice
lent from the President It was proper to return
Mr.. Stanton. The House and Senate are do
ing nobly. The restoration of Mr. Stanton
was plucky and at the same time prudent.
The passage of the bill in reference TO the Su.
preme Court was timely. Now let the recon-
struction bill 20 through. and we shall have
an end Of this Hancock business, with Sheri-
dan back to New ORLEANS aud Sickies in
Charleston" Ii says the time has come for
bod measures az d it is the duty of Congress
to reconstruct the South The work must be
done III spite of the President Ii he persists
in his depiorable course ne mast be swept
away, congress wisely declined to impeach
that forbearance. The power remains, ana he
may drive Congress to the point where tor
benranee must cease to be virtue.
I The Herald, speaking OF the action of Con-
gress Yesterday, says:-"From these move

WHY GENERAL ScHoFIELD WAS NoM1-
MATED FOR SECRETARY OF WAR.-A Wash
ington telegram to the New York Tribune
says: ~, ~ Il s NE
ssMr., Johnson s friends seem to think that
the nomination of General Schofeld means
more than most people imagine. They have
set afoat story that certain Republican
senators who want to vote against Johnson's
conviction, asked for the appointment Of o
man to succeed Secretary Stanton that they
could confirm, and that could furnish them
an excuse for their votes. The general i'm
preston, however, is, that Mr.. johnson
made this last movement at the suggestion
Of, three of his counsel, in the hope that if
there is any doubt among senator's in rem
dering verdict, the nomination Of half
and-half Radical instead of Copperhead
to the War Office, may tend to conciliate
them and strengthen Mr.. Johnson's chances
of acquittal.' % 1900, ~. - 3. 1,

The Norfolk Virgsniare 81 es with those
who hold that Mr.. WADE is not such an
q officer . as the Constitution declares shall
g act as President D. in case there is no
President or Vice President The Firgi''ian
makes new point-namely, that as the
President pro tempore Of the Senate might
be q .naturaGzed citizen, and no one but
a native can be President, therefore Mr..
WADE cannot succeed to the office. The
logic is not good. No one not native can
be President, but natura lized citizen might
act as President. The Virginian's argu-
ment proves too mach. A naturalized citi-
zen might be Speaker Of the House, or
Chief Justice, or Secretary Of the Treasury,
or Secretary of State, or General Of the
Army. Therefore, if its argument be good;
none of these could act as President; and
therefore again there is mo officer to act as
President. The Virgiaiae hardly meant to
prove SO much. "a. ,...sssra,st.-. 49, IS

The project Of substituting grssnbacks for
the notes OF The national banks grows in
favor day by day. Even The leading Demo-
crssic Journal IN New York The World.
which has been suppossdEto be the,organ Of
AR ELAoHTs advocates this substitution.
The scheme commends itself at once to
popular support wherever understood. The
fact that the Government might by this
simple expedient saye, twenty millions of
dollars psrannum now paid out inthe form
Of interest upon the bonds which this
national currency represents, Is sufficient
To secure q favorable hearing 10 the project
from every man rho entertains the wish or
the hope of ultimately paying i3of the
national debt; for il is evident that this
large sasing you'd suffice 10 g given nrr num-.
berof years TO rid us Of the debt itself. 4
This scheme must nots be COMPOUNDED
with what is generally known as the
.. greenback plan.n 7 The object Of the lat
gteris to pay OFF the bonds "a green1backs as
they become, due, thus increasing the.
=, volume iof the circulating medium to anal
most unlimited extent, and causing the
prices Of the necessaries Of life to rise IN
the same ratio. The former scheme is not
obnoxious to this objections for it does not
propose to add adollar to the amount of cur;
renoys now out, but merely to substitute
greenbacks for bank notes. 80 .7..s. j, 49,. -
The national banks can scarcely be. e1;-; 4
pected to favor either scheme They now
draw interest upon the bonds they hold,
and yet have notes based upon the same
bondst to use in their business operations:
This banking system was devised by Mr.
.CHAsn st time when the Government was
in STREET, and was adopted by Congress
for the purpose Of increasing the demand
for Government securities, and thus gliding
in the successful prosecution of the war.
It was wise scheme, and accomplished the
object for which il was intended. Whether
the Government can. without o violation of
good faith, divest the banks of the priyi7T
5leges thus conferred upon them, is a ques-e
ton which does not seem to- enter largely
into the discussions Of the subject which
have come under our eye. To us it seems
tobe an. important point. But, We do not
expect /" grapes from athistles 2 nor good
faith from a Radical politician, or states
man if any such there be; and we are con-
fdent that Congress will within q year pass
a.: law withdrawing the national currency
and substituting greenbacks. On the score
Of economy, it is worthy Of universal favor:
Twenty millions Of dollars is an immense s
sum Of money to throw away annually.
