- The President is looking into
the tariff question. He has, on
several occasions, invited Mr.. Wells
to long conversations on the sub
jeet. in which he asked significant
questions, and discussed the whole
general matter. This is every way
auspicious. The agitation of tho't
is the beginning of wisdm, in all
quarters, and Mr.. Wells, with his
moderate and reasonable views on
revenue reform, is a saTe counselor.
The public need not be surprised to
hear, shortly, that Grant has opin-
ions of his own in this vital matter,
and they tend to the protection"
of the American people by remov-
ing all needless taxes from the arti-
cles which they are compelled to
buy 0. S. Journal.

How to Resume.

The GAINESVILLE Courier wishes to
kno ow what might be the nature Of
that legislation tho tendency loi
which would be TO aid in the re
sumption of specie payments. The
answer to this question involves
the repetition of what we have stat
ed at length in at least three arti-
cles before. But in brief we may
say, that among other things these
must be done;
l. Congress must fix day for
4 simultaneous resumption on the
part of the Government and the
bauks The period for prepara-
ton should not be less than one,
and need not be more than two
years. 5r.t s' 5..
2. The premium on gold may
be at once put below ten per cent,
and kept below, by yesting the
Secretary Of the Treasury with pow
er to throw ten millions on the
market whenever the premium
touches any point above that rate
and the rate may be reduced to
par by reducing the selling rate
one half Or three quarters per cent.
each month by graduated scale.
This was substantially the English
method of resumption in lS20-23.
8. The volume of greenback cur
rency must at the same time be re-
duced. This may be done without
contraction by substituting Nation
al bank currency in an equal amount
for the treasury notes withdrawn
from circulation, but it had better
be accomplished in part by provis-
ion being made for the permanent
funding Of a portion of the green
backs in a long five per cent. loan.
A demand must be created for the
balance of the greenback paper by
requiring that the banks shall keep
on hand coin and greenbacks to
redeem their outstanding circula-
ton. When this is done there
would be few treasury notes left
to present at the Treasury for re-
demption.
4. We would increase, and not
diminish the revenue of the Gov
by reducing the rates of
duties which are prohibitory, which
from being so high as to prevent
the importation of the article de-
feat revenue altogether. To lower
duties is not to reduce revenue as
some absurdly suppose but to in
crease revenue. H.
5. We would kee up revenues or
receipts and keep down the expen-
ltures, and by practicing the ut
most economy, inspire universal
at home and abroad in
he honesty, honor and financial
oundness of the United States Gov
This is the briefest ont
ne Of what may be done by zap
ropriate legislation. - 0. s.

= General Sherman is reported

along without an Indian war Il
"outside meddlers" will let Lieu
tenant General Sheridan alone
There is less danger to be appre-
hended from the intermeddling of
the benevolent Peace men, we
should suppose, than from the
wretched class of white knaves who
are believed to be always lowering
on the border, in order to steal
from the indians, and to stir up
war for the purpose of obtaining
fat contracts from the Government.
Cannot the army probably give
some attention to this class of med
dlers? ? We hope the confidence of
General Sherman in maintaining
peace will prove to be well found
ed, but appearances at present are
unfaverable. We publish else
where a Colorado letter, from a
reliable source, which throws light
on this subject. Ctn Chronicle

County News, who is u member of
the Ohio Senate, availed himself of
the ride to Baltimore and Washing
ton City, given by the B. Il 0. r.
r. Co. On arriving at his home in
Georgetown, he gives the follow
ing brief account Of what lie saw
in the U. S. Senate:
"While at Washington recently
we took accession to look over the
Senate Of the United States, and
study the character Of its general
make up. Less than ten years ago
we had similar privile 5e. Then
VIC beheld Douglas, Crittenden,
Seward, Hammond, Greene, Ma
son, Davis, and men of their abili-
ties discharging the functions of
Senator'S. But now what do we
see? Largely dispersed over that
body are the scalawag carpet bag
gers from the South, with scarcely
sufficient intelligence to conduct
hackwoods debating society. There
SIT the inimitable Reyels, negro
Senator from Mississippi, crouched
behind old Parson Brownlow, and
in close proximity with a white
man, who dotes upon his colored
elbow neighbor. What q hunilia-
ting scene! Statesmen have given
place to imbecile Northern adven-
tpers to the South, unscrupulous
monopolists, monarchists and ne
groes. No marvel that our once
great, free and glorious Govern
ment is fast drifting to monarchy
and utter ruin, with such men for
its governing spirits"
We are to suppose from the
above that Greene, Mason, JEFF
Davis, and such rebels as were in
the Senate when the editor visited
Washington City in 1860, are mod
els of Statesmen, and just such
Senators as Mr. Leeds would like
to see at the head of our Govern
ment now. Where did our Gov
erDment drift, neighbor, when
Buchanan was President, and your
party held full power in Congress :
Everybody knows that it drifted
into one of the most terrible wars
hat was ever before known in a {
country that claimed to be civil {
zed, and yet the editor would be /
glad to see the Government again 1
N the hands Of the party that q
brought this terrible curse upon $
