A New View Of the Currency Ques-
ton.

The New York Mercantile Journal IS
publishing series ofarticles against COLDS
being basis of currency. Ii says that
the legalized currency of nation under
lies and really controls all her industries
We have given much care to the consideration
Of the subject, and have, from time to time DIS
cussei all the points offered for and against the
adoption Of an exclusively paper currency odssd
upon the national tceaith, Ignoring gold and
silver except rs an article Of merchadise, put
ting Il upon the same basis as other metals.
Prom all the suggestions offered, we cannot dis
cover a single valid objection TO a currency Of
paper issued by the government, the volume Of
which shall be adjusted at all times by its con-
yertibility into interest-bearing Government
bonds. and rcconversion into legal tender notes
In both cases Mt the pleasure of holder. We
earnestly desire that our cotemporaries Of the
press should give this matter careful thought at
an carly day wxiving all prejudice in favor OF
this or that theory which tradition has handed
down 10 Us.
We say that gold Is not now, never was, and
never can be a true standard Of value. Ten
dollars in gold, Notwithstanding its present
premium, viii not buy rs much corn, wheat,
rye, pork, beef, tobacco, butter, cheese, cotton,
ETC., to-day, as did one half the same weight Of
the same metal so years ago. Gold Is n CON-
modify and It's value is governed by the law Of
supply and demand, the same as every other
commodity, and hence. the use Of IL as q basis
FOR our currency isa relic Of barbarism unWOr-
thy Of our times.
Our object In demanding the payment Of a
legal tender note, was simply 20 attract the at
tention Of the public TO the question, "does our
legal tender paper dollar represent DOLLAR or
not," II cannot Be said that II Is dollar and
vet that Il Is not; that Is an absurlity. III they
are dollars, what right has the Secretary Of the
Treasury to pay twenty-one Per cent premium
in legal tender notes for so Bonds, upon which
the ysar option has maturci; and II they arr
not dollars, but promises TO pay dollars, why
rrc they no, redeemed ON demand' They haS,
been for n long time outstanding. and still tn
government refuses 10 pay them. The theor,

On the 18th the representatives OF the
Republicans of York arc TO meet in con-
vontion ut Alfred. We trust there will be
"a full attendance and that we may come
together with something like the old de
termination which has made the party
masters ofthe situation since 1860. Though
not for positions of long duration, our
election this year is very important ilnan-
cially. For Treasurer there will probably
be- no other candidate than the present very
estimable incumbent, Mr.. John Hall of
North Berwick, who has served only one
term. The Office of the outgoing Com
missioner belongs 10 the third sub-district,
and we have heard Of only one name for
the position, that of the present occupant,
Mr.. Alfred Hull of Shapleigh. He has
held the oflicefor several successive terms,
and all seem To have great confidence in
his integrity and Judgment.

lNer. From Cnba.

Letters have been received from leaders Of the
Cubans, dated the 10Th ult. These letters give
following items of news from the Instruction
lists
Recent engagements have placed in the hands
Of the republican leaders large number Of
prisoners, and they are now in n position to
prevent the wholesale massacre OF Cubans and
their friends which have taken place through
the power Of the volunteer organization as it
is understood that the prisoners in the hands Of
the reyOlutionists would be held rs hostages for
the proper treatment of Cubans who might be
captured in battle. This fact has caused u ces-
sation OF the instant execution Of prisoners which
has hitherto been the policy of the Spanish COM
manders.
Gen. Quesada has completely destroyed all
communication between Puerto Principe and the
coast, and telegraphic communication with Ha-
vana, and were il not for the unhealthy cOndi-
ton of that city he would have occupied it some
time ago.
Every effort Of Gen. Setona to open commune
cation has been defeated in the attempt Of the
Spanish. Their loss has been treble that Of the
Cubans. The loss of the Spanish in these en-
counters is so great that il is reported that the
effective force Of Gen. SetOna at Nucyitas and
the entire district does not exceed 1000 mcn,
while that of General Quesada is nearly 5000.
The men are in good discipline, well armed, and
prepared for movement when the healthy con-
dition Of the country adjacent TO the coast
will permit. There have been number of mi
nor contests in Gen. Jordan's district. In each
case the Spaniaris have been the aggrcssors, but
In every instance they have been repulsed with
great less, while the Cubans have suffered but
little. .....
At villa Clara the loss Of the Spaniards was
over BOO, together with their arms, ammunition,
wagons, ordnance and provision trains. In an
other engagement near Trinidad the regular and
volunteer troops who had been sent out to take
possession of certain masked plantations were
driven back, and the forces almost destroyed.
The number Of killed and wounded is reported
at IS. and that Of prisoners at 800. The num-
Der Of Spanish troops engaged in this fight was
near 1900, while that of the Cubans, who were
guarding the plantations, mustered only 76O
men.
Gen. Jordan reports himself and troops in cx-
cellent condition, and asserts that his command
is about equal to three times the number Of those
who oppose hun. They are well organized, well
drilled. and fight like demons. His force Is
daily increasing by recruits from former slaves
aud Spanish regular troops. lie expresses en-
tire confidence in his success.
