MR. BOUIWELL's LECTURE.

Mr. Secretary Boutwell, addressed the

onAhe evening Of The 29th ultimo. His
remarks fill two columns in the Daily Id
pertiser. They constitute q review OF
"things in general that have t1anspired
during the past len years, A careful road
irg Of the lecture does not disclose any
thing more pointed than the following
paragraph concerning the de.l,no Of Ameri-
can commerce:
4'Anoiher OF the evil retults consequent upon
the events OF these ten yeats has been the de-
s1nction, ve NAY say, OF American commerce

It is gratifying to know that If We ali re-
solve to restore American commerce upon
the ocean, the thing will be done.
Mr.. Boutwell, adyerts to the public debt,
and incidentally remarks that IN two sup
posed conditions heavy debt may be worse
than heavy ta1ation, viz, n condition of
war and a condition Of peace. In condi-
tion Of wat heavy debt would be embAr-
RAISING, because the country could not 30
readily raise money to CARY on the war. In
condition Of peace it would be emba11ass-
ing, because neighboring countries, which
might otherwise be disposed to be annexed
to us, would be deferred BY our heavy debt.

Mr., AMAsA WALKERS LETTER,

Walker, Esq, the we'll known author OF the
"Science of Wealth." proposing plan
for restoring specie payments gradually
within a period Of Eve years. The plan
proposes the issue Of compound-interest
notes, to take the place Of the existing
greenbacks, at the rate Of ten millions per
month-the government to pay out these
notes for its regular currency dlsbutse-
ments. and to cancel and destroy an equiv
alent number Of greenbacks. We commend
Mr.. Walkers statement of the advantages
OF this plan to the careful examination Of
the public.
AIr. Walker, while member Of the Thir-
ty-eighth Congress, drst suggested tho idea
Of using eompound-interest notes as a
means of obtaining money from the class
Of small capitalists-.hose who could not
afford to invest in government bonds Of
the lowest denominations, and who required
a form Of security which could
be turned into legal-tende1 cur
rency whenever their demand for money
should outweigh their desire to obtain
the accumulated Interest On the note. The
compound-interest notes authorized by the
act OF Juno 80, 1864, answered this purpose
fully, and enabled the government to obtain
about one hundred millions Of dollars, ut a
critical period, without rarmanently indat-
ing the currency. The notes, although
made legal tender for their face value, re-
mained in circulation only few months
the accumulated interest, which WAS COL
lectable only at the end Of three years,
making them each day more desirable for
boarding, OF course the same result would
interest notes for greenbacks, but the priv
ilege Of using them Is currency whenever
the demand for money in the community
should ovcrbalauce the demand for the in
terest would remain and hence the cur
rency never could be contracted beyond
the power of the people to expand it. It
would be- in effect the plan, which has at
yarions times been agitated, Of making the
ercenbacks convertible into bonds and the
bonds recoverable into greenbacB at tho
pleasure Of the holder, with the difference
that, under Mr.. Walkers plan, the interest
on the bond Rccumulate8 instead OF being

A TORPID SYSTEM.

Sometimes, without any -assignable cause, the
physical strength and animal spirits give way,
and strange torpor falls alike on the body and
intellect. There is little orno pain perhaps, but
the natural vigor and elasticity of the nervous
and muscular system seems to have departed, and
an Indifference to the pleasures oe life, and even
to its grave responsibilities, takes the place of
every well balanced mind when in healthy con-
dition. ~
This state of paltial collapse is often the
premonitory symptoms of some serious malady.
II indicates Enthusiastically that the vital powers
are languishing and need stimulant. In such
cases the effect of few doses of Hostettcr's
Stomach Bitters is Wonderfully beneficial. The
