Gen. Buffers rinanciaIl IDEAS

The New Nork journals criticise Gen.
Buffers financial proposition as develo-
ped in his recent bill, but from different
stand points, and with very different i'm
prcssions of its timeliness or wisdom.
The World says: ST.
ellis plan is not without ingenuity
and certain sort Of architectural sym-
metry, but it is built upon a ridiculous.
ly unstable foundation, and supported
by sophistries 1--WE cannot call them ar
guments) which could be generated on
ly in the brain of dcmogogue.' ri,
The Times says:
"In.stead of confining his attention to
the various schemes proposed for pay
ing the public debt, and getting back to
specie payments, he goes the whole
hog and insists Oh neUer going back to
specie again, inasmuch as specie ia a
relic of barbarism,' and the only tia
currency ;-thc only kind of mony fit
to be used by. free and enlightened
people, is an 'inconvertiblc paper cur
rcncy,' that is notes promtsing to pay
specie but never intending to do So"
The Herald says:
"Altogethcr, Gen. Butler has taken a
bold step in advance of tho views of
financiers and many of his colleagues
in Congress. His speech will create q
flutter among the bOndholders, national
banks, and capitalists, and will open the
door for great discussion. However
much his views may be questioned or
opposed by the old school tinanciers
and political economists. there is no
doubt he has struck the chord of pop,l-
lar sentiment, and that he will be re-
cognized as the leader in this new move
ment for an American system OF cur
rency and finances"
The Sun says: aIi"
''It is easy to see why Gen. Butler is
so anxious to erase from our legal ten
der notes the words which express a
promise to pay "dollars."A SO long as
these words remain. they convict the
nation of continual bankruptcy, if not
flat Reputation. We promise to pay
dollars on demand. and we fail to do
it. But how much better shall we be
with our new Certificates of value ?"
What is the ''valuc' of piece of paper
with the words zone dollar OH il. if
there is no implied cxchangeability in
it fora dollar in specie?
The whole bill is II financial monstro-
'ity, and ought never to be reported
back by the Committee to which it has
been referred"
The TiTbunc says: ...........
''Wc have no superstitious devotion
% Gold and Silver, even as basis of
currency. What we insist on is Good
Faith. Don't promise to pay dollars,
md then refuse to pay them never say
,nc thing and, do tho exact Opposite
General Butler practically concurs in
his view, in proposing to replace our
present Greenbacks and National Bank
totes by Currency avowedlv irre-
ieemablc in Coin. He practically adj
nits that we cannot stand where we are,
'ut must stop living OH lies. We thank

The following is our latest dispatch
from Gen. Grant:
The people expect me to save them
from this wholesale robbery by officials.
They expect me to see the laws cXccut-

SO help me God. l will do it or resign.
An executive officer who is satisfied of
his inability to execute the law is un-
worthy the rcspectsof his fellow-citi-
zens if he continues to hold Oh to the
office. Neither do i believe that the
officers of the government were to be
used for the placing or retaining in

ton to any further increase of the State $

--as follows: ia"' '-' -# 't
There is great effort being made to
induce immigration to the State. What
encouragement can people have to come
and buy our lands and Settle among us,
un.css the tax upon lands are materially
diminished? Would it be wise in i'm
migrants to come and buy land and at
tempt to make q living, when they would
have to pay all they could earn in the
way of taxation to build railroads? If
we ever expect to see the day come
when men will be induced to inmigratc
to our State, settle it up, and commence
to dcvelopc its resources, we must set
about removing the hindering cause;
and that is the everlasting and cver-in-
creasing taxation, H''l H'

After some debate, the resolution was
adopted-ayes, 40; noes, 26. Among
those who spoke against it was Mynatt,
of Knox, whose, loilty is of that cnlarg-
ed and comprehensive character which
enables him to advocate every measure
calculated to increase the burdens of
the taxpayer and to oppose any thing
that looks like economy and rctrcnch-
ment. The people of old Knox would
do well to leave Mr.. Mynatt to retire
mcnt and reposc when they come to
make up their next legislative ticket.
Representative Bloom, of McMinn.
and Joint Representative Griffith, of
Meigs, both voted for the resolution.

resolution in lieu that no proposition

resolution were tabled.
The following resolution was also
adopted in the House: H.
