General Butler on Finance.

from The ~. Y Tribune.
Whether an ipconvertible paper currency
may or may not be devised and perfected
which shall be more benefcent than one
partly composed of and the residue converti-
BILE at pleasure into coin is very grave ques-
tiOn, on which we are not inclined to dogma
tie. Very much may be said on beth sides,
as much has already been said on either.
General Buffers argument against redeema-
BILE currency is very much more plausible
than his substitute therefor. In our judgment,
a simple government note, promising to pay
81, S5, SO, $50, $50, sl00 or $1,000 in coin, at
a specified future day, with interest meantime
at the rate OF .O365 per annum-that is to
say, one cent per day interest on each and
every hundred dOllaTs-would be much pre-
ferable to General Buffers cumbrous and
cOmplicattd contrivance of depositing bonds
with the Government and taking a new set of
greenbacks in exchange for them. For the
bonds SO deposited must be left in the hands
of some Government agent, who may
embezzle them; or they may be stolen,
or burned, or suhjscted to a hundred
misohanoes. government note drawing one
cent per day on each 500 Qess than per
cent. per auDum) might be kept very nearly
or quite at par, aud would serve many good pur-
poses. People would be in less haste to spend
their money, when each $40, 900 in safe, chest,
or pocket was earning its owner 81 per day
frugal man VINO had SlOO. 900 about him might

rency. What we insist on is good faith.
Don't promise to pay dollars and then
refuse to pay them: never say one thing
and do the exact opposite. General Butler

Ing to replace our present greenbaoks aud

General Buffers Bill and Speech on tht
Finances and Currency.
From the ". Y. Herald.


Finances and Currency.
From the N. =. Herald
General Butler introduced an important bill
in Congress on Monday to authorize the issue
OF national currency, to provide for its sta
bility and elasticity, and to reduce the rate of
interest on the public debt. Upon this he
made an able and comprehensive speech.
This movement is intended no doubt as the
platform of its author for a new departure in
political affairs and in the reorganization of
parties. 1t has been apparent for some time
past that General Butler meant to make him
self the leader in Congress ON this subject of
the currency and our national finances, which,
with his usual ssgacity, he saw must become
the most important one before the country.
In his speech he has fairly taken that posi-
tiOn. He goes to the root of the matter, and
is more radical in this than in politics. He
outs up the old system of currency and finance
by powerful argument and thorough his
tOrical review OF their inconsistencies and
failure, and shows that this new and rich
country should have a system of its own,
adapted to its institutions and peculiar cir
cumstapces. He shows that our financial
system has been an exaggerated offshoot Of
those of EurOye, subject to the changes, the
needs, the wars, famines and distresses of
other countries, and that it was in no sense an
American system nor adapted to the institu-
tions of afree, an enterprisiDg and independent
people.
General Butler starts with the proposition
that the currency of highly commercial,
expanding, industrious, productive and free
people should be uniform, sound, cheap,
stable, and elastic. He considers that our
present legal-tender currency, or that which
he proposes shall take its place in the form of
Government Certificates of value, based on
national securities, which shall bs lawful

As we have already announced. Colonel
Casey, the new collector, and Captain Herwig,
the new chief deputy, took charge OF their
places day before yesterday. We are glad to
see indications, as we'll as to learn, that but
few removals will be made of good men that
fully come up to the requirements OF their
offices and their stations, and that do their
duty to the government by doing that govern
ment's business. We are glad to see that two
merchants like these two gentlemen are to
have the management of the customs at this
port, which we yet hope to see equal to any as
regards its imports and exports. We rely upon
Col Casey to do two things, which he promi-
ses TO use all his exertions to do. First to
remove all possible removable impediments
to the transportation in bond and in bulk of
the goods for our common brethren of the
Valley of the Mississippi; and secondly, to
remove the "mud bar of the mouth OF
our Southern western river. Once let
us persuade these Western mer that it Is as
much their interest, yes more, than 1t Is ours,
and the bar will be removed, and we shall
have not only the old commerce of the city
return, but have the new blood from all the
small arteries of this our main stream, the
father of waters, come to US and give us the
healthy stimulant Of the Western trade. These
men can be made to act in earnest and to aid
us at once. Let US then take hold and aid
the collector in his efforts TO eseist ue. Ae
asks the aid of the chamber of commerce and
its members 1t has been promised him, and
with his influence and aid we can yet make

TONS The reform for q State of things in
this city supposed to be similar to that which
exists in New York, proposed by a number of
property holders is directly the reverse of the
scheme proposed by the Post. 1t consists
of so-called executive, utterly without
power, legislative lsdy limited in
number to six, entirely irresponsible
and clothed with ministerial and legislative as
well as executive powers. The Posts plan
would doubtless do some good; but that of
the New Orleans property holders would
aggravate all the evils which are now SO fruit

ever, can be effective which does not involve

And yet in the efforts of thepeople of Lou

a policy of which just such government
was the inevitable consequence, Mr.. Medin
finds a justification for the congressional
policy of military despotism, of repression,
and coercion, and Acknowledgement. But, as
if to furnish the eliminating argument
against himself, he subsequently makes the
following admission:
Whatever their feelings may have heretofore

and apparently sincere. They deny thst North

terms which the North propose, end there IL
nothing left but to scquiesce in the inevitable and
reconcile themselves to the new order OF things.
If Mr.. Medill will continue in this way we
shall not quarrel with him. Let him send us
men of energy and enterprise and industry

wretched horde of plunderlng adventurers,
who now disgrace the State, and we shall be
thankful to him. Such men, whatever may
be their politics, will soon become identified
in feeling, as in interest, with the people
among whom they come, and will prove our
most effective allies in our political warfare
AGAINST Radical despotism.

The Democrats reelected to the Indiana
Legislature refuse to attend the sessions of
that body. Thus there is no quorum, and the
Fifteenth Amendment cannot be ratified. The
Democrats were elected to stay away and thus
prevent the consummation of this gross fraud
on the people of the State and of the country.
When Indiana votes for a new legislature, the
ratification of the amendment will be main
issue in the canvass, and there is little doubt
that the verdict will be against it.
