senator Merton and Horace Greeley


If the statements of a Washington
correspondent are to be credited,
these distinguished Republican peli-
ticians are in no danger Of being or
ganized into a mutual admiration So
ciety. Senator MoRToN's argument
against Mr.. GREELEY plan of imme-
diate resumption of specie payments,
though free from ::any manifestation
of passion, offended the latter gentle
man to such an extent that he retort-
ed very bitterly in three column re-
view of the Senator'S speech. The
correspondent, who called on Senator
MORTON, after the appearance of the
Greeley letter, claims to have obtained
the Senator's opinion of the Editor,
and it is by no means complimentary.
We give the correspondents state
ments, only remarking that such
statements are always to be received
with much caution:
| can well afford to have such op-
position" said the Senator this morn
ing. / have come to regard it as a
healthy indication. There never was
a time during the late war that, had
Mr.. Greeley's advice been followed,
disaster and disgrace would not have
fallen on the country. There has
been no time since that had we, as
party, obeyed his instructions. our
party would not have come to ruin. In
1861, when /, at the Capital of my
State, was calling on the people to
rally to an armed support of the Gov
ernment, he was penning for publica-
ton his shameful demands for CUR
render From this position he was
driven, as was the Herald, by
the patriotic impulses of a mob.
When the war came, his hysterical
cries hurried up an immature cam
paign that resulted not only in disas-
ter, but in the untimely death of thou
sands. In the darkest hour of our
country's peril, during that conflict
when every patriotic heart was called
upon and needed to sustain our cause,
he suddenly gave way and shrieked
for peace at any price. His weak
nesses and mischIevous characteristics
increase with age; and the political
condition of New York City to day. is
the result of his weak vacillation, in
solent dictation and hysterical i'm

course adopted. - for ntnetyscents on The
dollar In other words, the Mayor
provided for the payment of Mr..
LowRY's bonds, but just due, by bor-
rowing money a. the rate of TWENTY
TWO AND HALF PER CENT. per an
mum. 1t is not necessary for US to
comment at length upon the wisdom
of such transaction. There is not a
man in the city who is SO ignorant as
not to know that the payment by the
city of twenty-five and half per cent.
interest for the use of money is fnan-
cial ruin near at hand.
Nor must it be forgotten that
this twenty-five per cent. interest is,
in reality, paid for the purpose of
cdshing Mr.. Lol0ry's city orders. Why
his city orders should be cashed in
preference to the orders held by the
poor men of the city who have labor
ed just as hard for them, we confess
we have not the financial ability to ex-
plain. We have no doubt, however,
that if they will call on his Honor he
will make it all plain and satisfactory,
and convince them that there is vast
difference In the value of city orders
held by rich contractor and those IN
the possession of poor laborers.

its to us in clear light the nice thing
Mr.. Lowry has in his monopoly o.
our street improvements. A certair
street is ordered to be graveled Of

bid for the job, proposing to take hi
pay in city orders. With consideratC
shrewdness, of course, he adds to The
cash value of his bid the usual de
probation of the city orders, charg
ing from ten to twenty per cent. NOR,

IMPORTANT ARREsr.-On Satur-
day, Peter Wilkens, the volunteer
detective, was arrested upon an in
dictment presented by the Grand
Jury, charging him with conspiracy
/ to commit a felony with Nancy e
Glenn and others. Levi w. Pearson
is jointly indicted with him. TIE
special charge is that he procured the
absence of an important witness in
the recent trial for money eonsid-
Grafton. Wilkens was brought be-
fore Judge Chapman after his arrest,
and admitted to bail in the sum of
five hundred dollars.-IndtanupoGs
Journal, 18th.
WILKENs will be remembered by
our readers as the detective who
secured the arrest of the CARLIsLEs
for the murder of Lieut.. HAMPTON.
He did that job very well. He seems,
however, to have got into trouble. 1t
cannot be very serious. or the bail
would not have been fixed so low.

Perhaps the great majority of read
ers. in glancing over this communi-
cation, do not fully comprehend its
import. For the benefit of such we
propose to add an explanation.
Last year, after the greater portion
of the city taxes had been paid in,
Mr.. LOWRY, who had large amount
of orders paid him on street improve
ments. found that he had in bis pos
session quite large sum which
he could not dispose of to advantage.
He, therefore, applied to the City
Council to have the orders exchanged
for city. bonds, payable in one year
aad drawing six per cent. interest.
These bonds he negotiated aud sold
In Cincinnati, or deposited in some
bank there for collection. This year,
when they became due, they were for
warded to the First National Bank of
this city, for collection. Mr.. Hop
KINs, President of our bank, with
financial shrewdness, impressed upon
His Honor, the Mayor, the disastrous
consequences of having the city pro-
tested for non-payment of its bonds,
as they became due. and urged that
they be paid promptly. But what
was to be done? The city had no
money. Notwithstanding the enor-
nous tax levy, based in mostinstances,
upon largely increased assessments,
all of which the people had paid 10
order to save the credit of the city,
its bonds were about to go to
protest, unless something was done
Immediately. 1t is in great emergen-
cies that genius always vindicates its
claims to admiration. So, the much
talked of financial ability of our
Mayor, now displayed itself in a man
ner that will impress the minds of the
people and deplete their pockets,
whatever may be its effect on their
admiration. His Honor, as will be
seen blythe above report. proceeded to
have new city bonds issued. payable in
one year drawing ten per cent. inter

other city dues. These bonds he

report:
That we hold Sc, ,1O5 55 of ten per

ten per cent (said bonds were made
receivable for taxes and other city
dues); and procured s., 5,495 in cash,
and had the same paid into the City
Treasury for the purpose aforesaid
We authorized the issue of further
sum of the same kind of bonds, to be
sold for money, at the same rate, or
exchanged with liant & Brother and
others, for city bonds OF 1867, held by
them, and now past due. Before de-
Gliding upon such course, We ad-

proprlety of the course adopted. We
would recommend the further issue
