General Butler, in presenting his fl
naneial sehsme, in Congress backed it
up with long speech, in which he
T PtruthfuIly and foreibly disposes Of the
argument that we used to hear from
the Radical stump, that the bondhold-
fefs ought to be paid their bonds in
gold, because when the life of the ma
ton was in peril, these capitalists pa
lfriotieally came forward and furnished
tie Government the means without
| which the rebellion never could have
been put down.. Gen Butler says:
/ u .. We have heard much of the patri-
sotism of the bankers and capitalists,
| who are said to have come forward to
lend their gold to the country in its
time of utmost need, but that is ex-
actly what they did not do. In De-
cember, 1861, the banks suspended
specie payment without right. without
iautherity of law, in violation of their
own plighted faith and promises, SO
/ that neither the government nor any
one else could get a dollar of their
gold from their vaults. When, in
pursuance of the act of Congress of
the 25th of February, 80, $50, ,000, 600
of legal tender notes were issued, with
(which our soldiers were paid and the
debts of the United States cancelled
did the bankers or capitalists loan
these to the government, or did we
make them for ourselves? On the
contrary, the banks refused even to
: receive the government notes on de-
posit. When the government wanted
more money to pay the soldiers and
carry on the war, did they get it from
the banker. and the capitalist 2? No !;
Ethey issued their own legai-tender
notes as money, and paid their debts.
Having provided that those notes
might be funded into gold bearing six
per cent. bonds, the capitalists bought
them up when they fell to discount
of sixty per cent, by selling the gold
at that premium which they had
hoafded in their vaults, and had re-
fusedIto loan the government, and
funded this, which they now call failed

mitted the charge of his kingdom to

occupation he had assumed as a dis

course of a few years greatly increased

LIQUOR AND CRI1E.-If the facts
furnished by the Ohio Commissioner
of Statistics are to be relied upon, the
influence of liquor as predisposing to
crime has been greatly overestimated
by the temperance men. Out of .S06
persons prosecuted for crimes against
the person last year in. Ohio, only 162
appear to have been under the infu-
ence of liquor at the time of the al
legged offense. For crimes against
property there were 1,070 cases prose-
cuted. OF this number there were
butsSs committed under the influence
of liquor King Alcohol, therefore,
has much less sin to answer for by
tempting his votaries to crime than
has been generally believed. Without
seeing the figures, we should hardly
have compromised for him on less
than sone-half or gone-third of the
crimes. Enquirer. ~ siSffr
