There's a game much in fashion, think its

And 70 fancy he finds in the trivial strife
Some excellent hints for the Battle Of Life,
Where. whether the prize bea ribbon or

When great Calico proclaimed that the world
In 3 regular orbit was ceaselessIy whirled,
And gqt--not q convert for all of his pains,
But only derision, and prison, and chains

GreeIey's Reply 20 Sen. Nor
tOn-SDecfe Payment.

NEW YORK, December 20.-The Iri-
b1tne, tomorrow, viii contain Horace
Greeley's reply to Senator Morton.
He favOrs immediate resumption, and
believes that there viii be no run on
the treasury if specie payment were
begun tomorrow or on the first Of
January, on our so, ,000, 600, or If we
don't resume Immediately. he would
use fifty millions to buy up and cancel
bonds, and thus appreciate the Ma
tiOnal credit. The one thing needful
for resumption is to provide some
form Of National Obligation which
holders of greenbacks viii prefer to
coin, and this can be obtained by ma
king bonds which shall be perfectly
secure. He closes by saying that the
bonds are not to be converted into
greenbaeks; and / rejoice in believing
that you are at length satisfied that
the greenbacks, if paid soOu or at all,
must be converted into bonds. ] urge
that course, therefore, which viii
make such conversion practicable. I
want every greenback made equal to
coin, not in 1871, but very early in
1869, and / recommend the plan that
leads directly to this result. seek a
cOnsOl, in which our greenbacks may
be funded Mt pleasure, on terms favor
able to our taxpayers. Iseek an early
reduction of the interest on our five
twenties, as fast as the Governments
option shall have nIatured, to five and,
if possible, 20 four per cent, and /
have steadfastly advocated early re-
demptiOn, and eXecrated every form
of Reputation from the start. But for
the UNANIMOUSLY dishonest proposition
that the five-tWenties might be justly
paid in greenbacks, and the powerful
names whereby that villainy was up
held, we might have resumed and
commenced funding our five-twentios
at much lower rate Of interest long
ago. This country is to-day many
millions poorer, and much further
from sOlvency by reason Of that
wretched device Of COpperhead rascal
ity, the greenback theory, and Of the
cOuntenance lent to it, by men whose
patriotism and sense Of obligation to
the nations creditors should have
kept them out of this slough, if their
integrity did not suffice. When this
continuance shall have been wholly
withdrawn and apOlOgized for, we
shall be very Hear to resumption.
