Hon. e. G. SpauLding: DEAR SiR-Thanks
for the book, as well as the copy sent me. 1t
is well-timcd and much needed. So successful
were the financial arrangements during tho
war, that people incline To regard them as
automatic, sclt-accomphshcd, with no special
credit TO anybody.
As result, we row have the best currency
ever known in tho nation. Let it now DC made
convertible into coin at the pleasure Of the
holder, end nothing would be left to be dis
cussed. Why this has not been done, why it
is not done, why it should not be done, con-
fess. after all have read and heard, am not
able to sec. One Of these days some bold nan
will take the step, and then everybody will
wonder why it had not been taken years be-
fore. Would that you were again al your old
place In the House.
am very truly yours,

WASHINGTON, October 10, 1863.
Hon. e. @. Spaulding-MY DEAR SIR: |
have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
YOUR letter of the 9Th instant, and with 1t q
CODY of your Financial History OF the War, for
which desire to return my thanks
The constant pressure upon my time has
prevented me from giving the book more than
a eursory inspection, but 1t seems to be valu-
able contribution to our financial history, and
throws considerable light upon the important
question of return to specie payments. am
one of those who believed that 1t was the In
terest as well as the duty Of the nation TO re-
turn at once to the true and solid standard OF
value as soon as active hOstilities ceased; that
we should have treated the currency as we did
our armies, regarding the volunteers and the
greenbacks alike as necessities OF war, TO De
dispensed with as fast as possible on the re-
turn of peace. think we made great mis-.
take In not doing so; that the shortest method
was the safest and best; that the only way 10
reach the object is by steady and persistent
contraction of the currency, painful process
whenever it comes, no doubt, but harder and
worse for us the longer 1t Is delayed.
hope that Congress Will address itself with
courage and constancy TO the solution of the
problem as soon as 1t meets, ana will feel as
sured that the American people have intell-
gcnce enough to support those who do 1t. MY
views on the subject are Of little Importance to
ANYBODY, but, as an American citizen, | should
be sorry and ashamed to find my country un-
able and unwilling, in time OF peace and
prosperity, to provide for its overdue paper.
Very respectfully,
II, X. HOaE.

without the knowledge Of Mr.. Baxter's

fire bricks and mortar, and communicated
fire to the studding and lathing, so that a
chambermaid, upon going up stairs in the
evening, found the nursery and adjoining

The help Of the neighbors being called in,
