Specie Payments.

Amasa Walker, an able writer on fl
nance, has issued letter in which he puts
forth plan for the resumption of specie
payments. The currency of the county,
which amounts to $7OO, 100000, is redun-
dant by at least 100000, 900, and resump-
ton of specie payments is impossible SO
long as redundancy exists. His plan,
therefore, is to set about reducing the vol
ume of the currency gradually, and to do
this he proposes the issue of compound
interest legal tender notes to the extent of
the greenback currency, $36O,O0O,O 900,
which should bear interest at the rate of
six per cent, and have three years to run.
These notes he would pay out in monthly
installments of $40, 600, 900, for all claims
against the treasury except those payable
in coin, and for every ten millions so paid
out he would destroy an equal amount of
greenbacks. These notes he would also
make convertible into ten-forty-five per
cent bonds after two years. Thus within
three years the whole greenback circula-
ton would be withdrawn. His theory Is
that this plan would work gradual con-
traction Of the currency, because there
would be tendency to hoard the com
pound interest notes on account OF the
interest, and this tendency would increase
as the end Of three years, the time hxed
for the payment of the interest,"; approach
ed. Thus there would be consta1 thy IN
creasing contraction, which would, never
theless, stop whenever there should come
such stringency in the money market as
to make money worth more than the inter
est on these notes. This would be a kind
of India-rubber contraction, which would
yield to a greater force in the opposite di-
rection, but whenever that greater force
should be removed would contract again
with its usual power; and so to the vol
ume Of the currency would accommodate
itself to the actual needs Of the business
of the country, but would be constantly
bringing us nearer to specie payments.
The Milwaukee Wisconsin in speaking
Of the plan says: at3
"The plan is the simplest and best that
has been proposed, and about the only
one that seems practical. We belleYe all
authorities upon finance agree that it IS I'M
possible to resume specie payments upon
an inflated currency the first step then
toward that end is the contraction Of the
currency, and this is always the most diff
cult thing to do, because contraction al
ways makes money tight, and that para
lyzes business but this plan Of Walkers
provides for the gentlest contraction posi-
BILE. The plan is worth the serious consid-
Grafton of our law makers and business
men. The end which ii, seeks to accom-
plish is one which must be realized before
the business of the country will be placed
upon that solid foundation which is neces
sary to its prosperity.

The Legal Tender Decision.

On our first page will be found extracts
from the Legal Tender Decision, lately de-
livered by Chief Justice Chase, also ex-
tracts from editorials Of the leading Chi
cago dailies, as to It's probable effect and
workings. 1t is decision which is likely
to have some bearing on the Indebtedness
of this county, for by it, "all the state,
city and county bonds of this and other
States issued prior to February 25th, 1862.
are made payable in gold" If our county
indebtness is ever to be paid, and few sane
men, are Of the opinion that we can for
ever set aside the decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States, we shall wish
we had compromised and settled the matter
when the bonds could have been bought
for 80 cents Oh the dollar, and gold was at
two hundred.

The Census.

The new Census Bill, prepared by Gar
field, the chairman of the committee ap-
pointed at the last session OF Congress, to
take the matter under consideration, and
which passed the House, has been defeated
in the Senate by vote of forty six to nine,
showing that there is no hope of its re-
vval. The census will consequently have
to be taken on the old plan, which is by a
State Marshal appointed by the Interior
Department, who appoints his county
deputies. G
"Tbough the decade through which we
havej just passed saw the country deyastat-
ed by war for nearly half of the period, and
though on this account we cannot expect
that our material prosperity will be shown
to have been as great as during the pre-
vious decade; characterized by profound
peace, except the burlesque Mormon war
enacted by James Buchanan, yet may we
with confidence look for report which
shall show considerable progress, if it shall
not replace our republic, in the attributes
of national greatness, in the very front
rank of the powers of earth. We may,
with confidence, expect a population of
more than forty millions, and facts show
ing the national wealth. largely augmented
over its worth in 1860 We may especial
ly expect that portion of the country, so
long known as the West, which would
now be more properly called the North
Centre, will be shown to have increased
its population and developed its resources
to such an extent as to have become the
leading section of the country" a.-..r &

other people have to, it would bring a
revenue into the post office department Of
the government, of several million dollars
each year. The question is now, shall the
privilege be abolished and all compelled to
pay postage? II IA Ia x
Mr.. Farnsworth Of Illinois, has introduc-
ed bill in Congress which provides for
the abolition of the Franking Privilege.
As the law is at present, all persons who
send letters to members of Congress can
send them free of postage, but if Mr..
Farnsworth's bill passes they will have tc
pay postage on their letters. But the
member of Congress will vote an appro-
priation for that purpose and draw their
money from the treasury, and the people
will have to pay theirs out Of their own
pockets.
All the members will have to do WILDE to
appropriate all the money they want for
postage; for according to the proposed
bill the President is allowed $4,000 per
annum Secretary ofthe Senate and Clerk
of the House, each, $4,000: the State and
Navy Departments, each, 100000 the
Treasury, Post Office ard Interior Depart
ments, each, $25O,ooO, and the War De-
partment 100000 per year. G .
The salary of al! the postmasters in the
country will be increased, and the people
will be the only parties to lose anything by
the abolition of the Franking Privilege,
while the postmasters and all the govern
ment officers will be gamers. -

THE Franking Privilege.


the Franking Privilege, or, otherwise
that privilege which has long been granted
to certain persons of sending and receiving
all their mail matter through the mails
without paying any postage, has at last be-
come the subject of Congressional Legis-
lation.
All members.of Congress are, and ever,
have been, entitled to this privilege; the
President, and all the ex-Presidents and
their widows; all the different departments
Of the government; post-masters on official
business, by the laws can send and receive
matter through the mails free of post,
&c. If all these would pay postage as

County Government.

The bill to d. away with, the present
system of county go, ernment, and return
to the old, is made the spe~ias order In the
Senate for next Tuesday we hope maj tne
members Of that body will pay some atteH-
ton to the wishes of the people in tins
matter, and not compel them to returnt a
system Of county government, which they
have tried and discarded. We can assure
our senators that the people of this county
are satisfied with the present system, and
do not wish any change. The papers of
this county have all come out strongly
against the bill, and assured our senator
that if he vote return to the old system he
will De misrepresenting his constituents.
The Portage Register, after giving the
vote on the bill says: 7 ~ sa@3s4
eft will be observed that Messrs. Beech,
Bullen, and Narracong, voted in the mega
tive, and in doing SO they reelected the
sentiment of vast majority Of the people
of the county. TIE bill now goes to the
Senate, and the indications are, that the
vote in that body will be exceedingly close.
We. were told in Madison the other day.
that the result would probably turn on
Senator Griswold's vote He is much in.
clined to vote for the bill, but may not do
SO knowing that our county is opposed to
the return If the bill shall pass, however,
Portage will have butlittle reason to com
plain, as we shall have five representatives
in the board. Let it be understood, how
ever, that our citizens 60 not ask nor de-
sire the change to be made.'' 1l.o5a.-
The Green Bay Gazette, says: "Well, if
we must be afflicted III this county with
this cumbrous and expensive machinery
we suppose we can stand it. Mr.. Chandler
made strong argument against the bill,
in the Assembly. Some of his facts, of
which we have had the exact counterpart
in this county, were staggering, and if with
a, full knowledge of them, the Legs
lature pass this bill, all we, can do is sub
nit, though we enter our protest against it.

familiar with county affairs will pretend
that the old system would be in any partic-
ular better for the tax payer of this
county. @ # I3ata9# d 3ga .alb
We were glad to see the name of Hon.
