EDIroRs LEDGER: The recent Wall
street excitement demonstrates clearly
the genuine value of United States cur
rency. We see that few gold gamblers,
BY combining, can reduce at their pleas
ure the value of United States currency.
The Treasurer of the United States is
holding about $T5 900. 900 gold. 1t is es-
timated that New York City has SIC, 000,-
900 gold. II is also estimated that in all
the United States besides there is about
$25, 900 900 more gold-makiDg the total
amount of gold coin in the United States,
at this time, $l20, 100000 Now the ques-
ton arises, of this total amount CT gold
coin, how much OF it is at the COM
maud of spectators; that is, how much
Of il can be bought2 The Treasurer
must have about 30,000.000 to pay in
terest coming due on United States
bonds; so, If Boutwell, is ss big gambler
as reported, be only has As. 600, 900 that
be can use for speculative purposes. As
to the other $45 100000 scattered over
the United States, it is estimated that only
SlO,O00,0 900 can possibly be purchased,
the balance being boarded up in old
stockings, sunk in the ground, etc., by
long. headed knowing ones, who see that
q financial crash is inevitable. Now, let
us see how crash might occur. 1t is
said that Vanderbilt, Of New York, is
worth $4,000, 900. with an unlimited
credit-that is, besides the cash he
has at his command he can borrow
on his own name, on as long time as be
desires, at least twice what he is worth.
There are 10 New York city other gold
aud stock gamblers who can command
(perhsps not quite so much as Wander
bin millions OF money. now suppose
ten or more of these gamblers should
combine to buy up all the floating gold 2
We see that they would have to buy up
only about $50. 100000. Where would
the merchant and importer then get gold
TO Day the dn,iesf The fact 10, be could
not Get il pnless be buys it from the
"ring" Of gamblers. And what price
would the ring askf Jnst es much as they
saw ft. The consequence, we clearly see,
would be that greenbscks would be worth
iess-thst ten dollar bill would not buy
q leaf Of brss5. The only question then
| is will such q combination be formed 7
We see by the late irhstion BY corsina,
tioa sLst spch "ring" was formed on a
small scale; AID enjoying the desperation
of man, his greed tos r.1hes-especislly
the gambling portion-we have 10 res-
son to think otherwise tban thst sooner
or later a gigantic ring" will be formed
that WI sjpk greenbacks SO low that they
will be valpeis.s pHly to the rsg-picker.
Then it behooyes rs Of lhs Sosth to be
ready when the crash comes. Let rs
send North or cotton and get for il gold.
When we buy g5oi, pay for them in
eFeepbscks Do1i hoard anything bat
gold aud silver, u We want to inyest let
us invest 10 rssi estate, spd rather pay
| double price for real estate than to bold
on 70 greepbacks until the storm breaks
upon Us, as It surely will. SEsRFB.

It ia only necessary to read the tesli-
mouy Of General Grant, before the i'm
peachmeut committee, to form at once
thorough disgust for the character Of
Andy johnson. Grant may have at a
subsequent time been entangled in the
meshes of politics. and convicted Of
lying by A. J. in given case, but then
the charge made that he (Andy Johnson
favored the trial and conviction of Gen.
Lee after the war was over, and his parole
taken by the United States Government,
stands undisputed by johnson himself,
or his friends. Could man so base and
vile be the representative of chivalruos
and proud peoplsf Heaven forbid.
The following is the testimony of
Grant as above referred to:
l frequently had to intercede for Gen.
eral Lee and other paroled prisoners, on
the ground that their parole. 80 long as
they obeyed the laws of the United Staiess,
protected them from arrest and trial.
The President, at that time, occupied ex
actly the reverse ground, VIZ: that they
should be tried and punished. He wanted
to know when the time would come that
they should be punished. told him not
so long as they obeyed the laws and COM
piled with the stipulations. That was
the ground took.
have stated these views to the Presi-
dent frequently, and, as | have said, he
disagreed with me in these views He
insisted on it that the leaders must be
punished, and wanted to know when the
time would come that those persons could
be tried. told him when they violated
their parole.
O. Did the President insist that Gen.
Lee should be tried for treason Z
A. He commended for it.
O. And you claimed to him that the
parole which General Lee bad given
would be violated in such trial2
A. / did. / insisted on it that General
Lee would not have surrendered his army
and given up all their arms, if he had
supposed that after surrender be was
going to be tried for treason and hanged.
O Did the President argue that ques-
lion with you
A. There was not much argument about
il; it was merely assertion. The CONVEX
salons were frequent after the inaugurs-
tion of Mr. johnson. He seemed TO be
anxious to get at the leaders to punish
them. He would say that the leaders of
the rebellion must be punished, and that
treason must be made odious.
