Daniel d. Pratt, elected to the Senate from
Indiana, is not the great American traveller,
but member of Congress elect. He was not
in indianapolis when he was chosen. He was
nominated by both factions of the Radicals
and received SO votes to GO for Hendricks,
Democrat. Mr.. Pratt is said to be conser-
vative Republican, and an honest man. 1t is
remarkable that about 60 Radicals persisted
in voting for Cumback after the crushing ex-
posures of his conduct which were made in
the body over which be presided.

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, from the finance
committee, has reported bill to amend the
national currency act This bill provides that
dition, not at regular quarterly intervals, as
heretofore, but on the demand of the control
ler to be made at least once during each quar-
ter, for any day specified by him. The gov
eminent deposits are to be secured by bonds
and neither greenbacks nor other currency are
to be accepted as collateral security for any
loan. The latter provision is intended to pre-
vent the process known in New York as
locking up greenbacks" so as to make money
scarce. This plan simply is to pledge cur
rency, say a million dollars, for a specified
time in return for loan of certain amount,
say $500, 900, and at the expiration of the
time the amount received is paid back, with
interest. The bill makes such contracts void.
All such legislation is founded on false no
tons of the functions of government and of
the laws of finance; and its seeming necessity
arises from the fallacy which unfortunately
has been adopted in practice, of supposing
that it is the duty of governments to create
money for the use of the public. OF course,
as soon as government adopts this theory,
and acts upon it, those alternate expansions
and mutations are sure to follow which neces-
sarily attend the issue of a currency based
upon an indebtedness which is liable, at any
moment, to be indefinitely augmented, or sud-
denly reduced. Then comes experimental
legislation to secure approximate stability of
the currency, and to prevent operations upon
it by moneyed combinations with the view of
raising or depressing its value in relation to
exchangeable commodities other words of
producing artificial fluctuations by which the
initiated parties may benefit And thence,
also, the destruction of the private banking
system, growing out of real industrial and
commercial necessities, and the substitution
of other banks which on the one hand are en-
dowed with peculiar privileges-in other
words, protected by the government-ond on
the other hand are subject to restrictions on
their business which greatly impairs their
usefulness. Senator Sherman's bill cannot
cure the evils at which it aimed, because those
evils are the necessary growth Of the system
of which they form part.

1t is now denied by telegraph that Gen.
Grant has intimated any opinion in regard to
the confirmation by the Senate of President
Johnson's appointments 1t seems, how
ever, to be certain that the Radical senator's
have resolved not to permit any more confirm
atoms. Gen. Grant, so far from advising
this course, would be very apt to regard it as
an indication that the Senate does not intend
to repeal the tenure of Office act. OF course,
if it were intended to repeal that act, it would
signify very little that President Johnson
friends should be in Office for the few remain
ing weeks Of his term.

A special telegrammer comes to the rescue
of Stanton, and Banks, and Grant, and every
body else concerned, in recent dispatch
from Washington. He says that Stanton did
not order Banks to relieve Grant at Vicksburg
but merely to join Grant with his forces.
To be sure, as Banks was then the ranking
officer, this would, if carried into effect, have
superseded Grant and placed Banks in COM
mand; but Stanton was not responsible for
that. Moreover, Grant knew all about it, and
wanted Banks to come up from Port Hudson
and take command; but that self-sacrifcing
creature declined, because he did not want
to displace his colleague. "Whereupon arose
feud and contention" of that gentle and
pleasing character so common among military
rivals; Grant insisting that, for the good of
the service, and to assure the success of the
campaign, the two armies should be united !;
and Banks refusing to let so slight thing as
success influence him to overshadow his
brother-in-arms.
But Banks triumphed in the generous
rivalry. Grant took Vicksburg, and COM
menced that career of good fortune which
foated him into the presidency, and Banks
now very justly claims the credit which is
due to his patriotic abstinence at the most
critical period of the fortunes of the general
who was to command our armies" The
point of the explanation is that Grant knew
all about the order at the time. and, in fact,
had requested Banks to obey it. How touch
ing this self-abnegation on the part of the
predestined hero of the war; how charming
this diffidence on the part of the New
England politician

THE LOUISIANA NATIONAL BANK.-At a recent
meeting of the board of directors of this firm and
rusty institution Mr.. A Luris was elected cashier
for the ensuing year. The selection of such
financial ability for SO important position is
conclusive evidence of sound judgment on the
part of the National Bank, and cannot be other
wise than gratifying testimonial of their appre'
citation for the gentleman in question, under whose
skillful management we have no doubt that the
affairs Of the bank will be materially improved.

In the United States agriculture is an insti-
tuition. Here the farmer cultivates his lands
scientifically, combining the sciences of botany,
chemistry and geology to increase their pro-
ductiyeness. We are becoming more and
more an agricultural people, while the number
OF learned men is increasing and numbers of
our sons crowd colleges where the science of
farming is well and thoroughly taught. But
one Of the most beautiful humbugs of modern
times is for speculative men to come to us and
ask us TO help build up agricultural colleges on
the pampas or in Patagonia. It is to some
commendation If the application for aid is
made by returned missionary. Al ayricul
tural college on the pampas, forsooth! where
the iavorite harrowis young tree top and the
plough Is of the kind Virgil describes as used
on the Mediterranean two thousand years ago,
and where the favorite machinery for pumping
is a rope tied TO a horses tail, with on e man
riding the horse while another emptie, the
bucket. Where not one of tho men in fifty
can read, 10y what process will college give

President said that in his youth he opened tue
pores Of his mind 10 receive knowledge. Is it
not better to invent a process for opening the
pores Of the public mind? Lot tho men, old
as they are, who harrow with bush heap and
pump with horses tail, first 60 to conmon
school and learn to read. If it is too late in
the day for them, let them send their children.
Let them cultivate habit, of industry until the
home Of the goacho shall cease to be q tree

rations, there may be demand for an agricul-
tural college. AT present the only purpose IL
