MIR, BoUTWELL,s FINANCIAL
VIEWS,

Mr.. Boutwell, having been chosen 10
gil the most important financial position
ia the GPyernmput, there is noaraIly a.
spread and eager interest in know

the absence of any large business eIpe-
rience, il may be regarded probable
that President Grants choice Of Mr..
Boutwell, is based upon his Syowcd
principles and belief respecting the cur.
reacy and the national securities, The

a speech in the Massachusetts, State

say tie Republicans in the last canvass
in this State pledged themselves not 10
agilate the negro question. We DO not
so understand it. The Republican
newspaper organs and stump speakers
when charged with being in favor orne-
gro suffrage merely replied that the
question Of negro suffrage was not au
issue in the canvass, which was strictly
true. Neither have the Republicans Of
West Virginia ag,tatcl the question:
It came upon them by the action Of
Congress without agitation, Congress
submlitod proposition to our Legsla-
ture aud tho Legislature accepted it,
and 10 SO doing did az act which can
do nobody any harm. but which is an
act Of Justice to certain class Of our
people.

voss had any idea that the question Of
negro suGrogc would come beioro our
