tober, the banking house of Henry
Clews & Co., New York, say "There
can be no doubt that the policy Of tho
Secretary OF the Treasury in boarding
up liberal currency balance for the Fall
months has materially contributed to
the prevailing stead,ness in monstary
affairs. The operations Of the Treasu-
ry have been so conducted that during
the Summer months, when money is
usually most easy, currency has acoumu-
lated in the hands of the Govern
meut. Tho Secretary is thus in = po-
sision,; through at any time increasing
his purchases ofbouds, to let out cur.

ness at a season Of the year when the
money market is especially sensitive
and when spectators are won't to COM
bine for producing an artificial string.
eucy. Although the currency balance
Of the Treasury was reduced few
millions during September, yet it now
stands at the high total Of $4,000, 900 :
which with the known disposition of
the Secretary to make it available for
the wants Of business, affords ample &C.
curity chat any demand 1or moving the

of tho business community at large,
and is great improvement upon the
former too coIumon disregard for the

"The general prosperity Of business
at home and the demand for invest

Of capital rendered idle, through the
war in France, sustain the market for
the frst-class American securities, es.

the other. None did more discredit to the
military abilities of General Grant than the
critics who discouraged those of General Lee.
Besides this the World should have too much
sagacity to forget that it is in position very
much like that of the bird which befouls its
own nest. For years it has defended, ap-
plauded, and associated itself with the inte-
rests of those whom it now so vehemently
assails. The gentlemen of the 'Ring" were
angels of light yesterday in the same eyes to
which they are incarnate fends to-day.
Our contemporary should blame neither
the public nor ourselves for taking
with its present furious declarations
the same salt with which we seasoned its for
mer strikingly opposite ones. Matters of
detail, as regards the new charter, or any
thing else, we may approve or oppose on
their merits without reference to the particu-
lar wing of the Democracy that advocates
them; but we are not yet prepared to recog-
nize those nice distinctions in moral charao-
ter or devotion to the public veal as between
the ''ring" and the young Democracy"
whereof the World is so late discoverer and
so fervent an enunciator. We cannot pre-
tend to say what may be in store for us here
after, but have right to affirm that our
present experience does not warrant the
delicate discrimination that to our neighbor
appears so public spirited and legitimate.

United States shall remain unexplored and
unknown to its Government and its people.
IL is q compact that the Wind River chain
shall exist as an obstruction to American
travel and commerce. For what is this COM
pact made?
1t is made to enable q tribe of Indians to
keep preserve of wild game unscared by
white men. It is made to enable the males
of a race which abhors agriculture, and would
sooner starve than plough and hoe, to gorge
on buffalo-hump and elk-rib; to sleep, to
dance, to paint their faces; to flutter the
scalps Of white women and men taken on the
emigrant trails; to brag of the horses they
have stolen, and the enemies they have sur
prised in sleep, or slain in unequal battle; to
overwork and beat their women and again to
gorge, and again to sleep.
The common law makes contracts void for
repuenance. Bear in mind that the Sioux
and Cheyennes are Plain Indians, as distin-
guished from Thicllwood Indians. They
never walk. They always ride. They never
climb mountain save to look off upon a
plain for game or for q foe. In winter only
they camp among the foothills for shelter
from the winds. Their lives are passed on
grass. They live on the hanks of the
columns of buffaloes in their ranges from
the Arkansas to the Saskatchewan. Grant
ing for a moment that they have n right to
i've this lie against tne rlght OF clVllizaClon
to permanently occupy the soil, are the Wind
River mountains essential to that mode of
life? Eight hundred miners in Cheyenne
say they are not essential, and they are
going to march for those mountains with
mining outfits and seven hundred and fifty
rounds of ammunition per man. They do
not mean to interfere with the Indians hunt
ing parks, but only to look for gold in the
mountains, where the Indians do not CO. II
would not surprise us to see General Grant
make the mistake of using soldiers to stoI
these people. If it were possible to teach
him political truth, We would say to him tha
that mistake belongs to those which defea
political aspirations and kill candidates il
nominating conventions. Let the Govern
ment keep the engagements of its treaties
let it protect the hunting grounds of tn,
Indians but let the gold and silver of tn,
mountains be got out.

USING THE ARMY TO STOP GOLD
MINING.

From the NJ Y Sun.
Among American gold-miners, from Frazer
river to San Diego, there is a fixed belief
that the portion of the continent richest in
gold, and most accessible to the pick, the pan,
and the arastra, is the Wind river mountains.
They have been prospected; and some of the
adventurous men who took their lives there
with their outfits survived the peril, came out
with their hair, and at innumerable camp-ires
have told the tale which has kindled a fever
of desire and of curiosity wherever in the
United States the color of gold is seen. These
mountains flank portion of the hunting
grounds of the Sioux and Cheyennes. They
contain no game on which the Indians sub
sist. They are merely the park walls of these
red gentlemen's hunting parks. Some white
men in Wyoming, being poor but Industrious,
propose to get to the top of these walls and
pick for gold. Brevet Major General @. @.
Augur says they shant do it, He has written
to Governor Campbell, of Wyoming Terri
tory, that he has received orders ''to inform
the parties concerned that the Government
will not permit its treaty obligations with the
Indians to be violated, and to advise them to
abandon their purpose, and in any event to
see that this expedition does not 60"
A treaty between the people of the United
States and tribe of Plain Indians which
| gives to the latter the right to exclude Ameri-
can citizens from the gold in the Rocky
Mountains cannot, in the nature of things,
have any sanction among a mining popula-
ton. The reasonableness of treaty with
buffalo-eating Indians, fencing in for their
exclusive occupation by meridians of longi-
tude and parallels of latitude a portion of
the buffalo range, would be understood by all
men, and the treaty would be observed by
most. But the ''treaty obligations" which
Seneral Augur speaks of would seem to indi
cate a compact by our Government with &
band of savages that the gold and silver il
the Wind River mountains shall not be taker
out for the commerce of the world. 1t is {
compact that considerable section of the

DISTINCTION AND DIFFERENCE.
Frosa fbe NJ v Tyqnee

From the NJ Y. Times.
Nothing is more natural than that the
W0rld hotly committed as it is to one side,
should deprecate anything like Judicial ex-
animation of the quarrel between Tammany
and the Young Democracy" If it could be
shown that either party to the controversy
was absolutely and entirely in the right, we
could sympathize with the IVOrIdS condem-
nation of either dissidenee or lukewarmness.
This main Issue, however, is so far from
being settled, that intelligent observers who
belong to neither of the Gontending factions
must almost necessarily adopt tentative
attitude. We observed on Sunday, in sub
stance, that the leaders of the young
Democracy were clever men, and that the
leaders of Tammany were very hard to beat.
The World objects to this conjuncture, and
evidently thinks we were bound in uttering
one compliment to suppress the other. We
fail to see the propriety of this not only be-
cause both statements seem to us to be true,
but because the suppression of the tribute to
! either eombatant would really be unfair to
