resumptoui Gold Ia now worth thirteen cents the
dollar more than paper Shall tho Government say to
holders OF paper Bring it in; will pay long as
orr gold lasts Would not supply dwinde
awayi And after it Is gone, what security shall we
have against protracted for gold which we should
be wholly unable to meet -
This "GOld pledge" is no pledge at
all for the redemption of the Greenbacks,
being never used for that purpose. Nay; the
Secretary is absolutely forbidden by law TO re-
deem one dollar of them. BE it understood
then, that the Gold in the Treasury and the
Greenbacks in circulation have no possible re-
ation to OF influence upon each other Wnen
there. was far more Gold in the Treasury thah
now, the Greenbacks were much farther Delo"
par in Gold than they now are. when MI.
Boutwell, takes Five Millions of Gold out OF
the Treasury and sells it, he does not depre-
ciate the value of Greenbacks; on the con-
trary. he increases it, And our Gold goes to
Europe exactly when we can balance our
account with her in nothing else; whether
the premium is ten per cent or forty makes
no perceptible difference. When Gold was
over 200, it was steadily going out OF the
country.
TO use the surplus Cold in the Treasury in
paving off bonded debt does not diminish the
amount in circulation of either greenbacks or
National Bank notes. 1t cannot, therefore,
depreciate the value of National Bank notes.
No one but q fool would sell those notes at u
considerable discount when every one is re-
deemable in greenbarlSs at its face value.
Mr.. Greeley has prOpOunded no "plan OF
resumption under present circumstances.
He recognizes the fact that Resumption Is IN
definitely postpOned-that there is no sincerity
in the partisan resolves that it may and should
be speedily effected. And it is in full view OF
this fact that he would use the surplus Gold
in paying off bonded debt rather than hoard
it for use in case Of a resumption that we ali
know is not to be effected for years. 1t might
lave been so used when every $1,000 of Gold
would have paid at least $1,000 OF bonds;
now it will pay barely more than its
face. And still it is better to redeem
and stop the interest on S5O,OOO,OOO of
bonds than to keep $5O,OOO,OOO of Gold lying
in the Treasury to no purpose. Even Mr..
Boutwell, never uses more than S5,OOO,OOO at
once; 80 that an average surplus of S1O,OOOOOO
is, for practical purposes, as good as though
it were S1OOOOO,OOO.
Mr.. Boutwelis security against pro
tracted run for gold" is the fact that his
income exceeds his current outgOes. And, as
to the business community, its security should
be its own sagacity, prudence, and forecast.
1t must not count on the Treasury to tide it
over every breaker: its safety lies i'll import
ing no more tnan it can pay for and paying
as it goes.

YORK IN THE SOUTH.

The advice which bore such splendid
fruit in Georgia is needed in many other
parts of the South. There is no doubt that
Mr. Greeley has an honest majority of votes
in nearly every one of the Southern States ;
with proper diligence and good organization
those votes will be brought out but if the
Liberals are indolent they may lose all the
advantage of their majority. In Alabama, for
instance, as a Washington dispatch assures us,
Senator Spencer has failed in his undertaking
to give Grant the control" of the State and
careful observers estimate our majority at
least as high as 5000. This, however, depends
upon two contingencies; first, that we have
reasonably fair vote; aud second, that we per-
feet our canvass and organization. Barbecues
and mass-meetings will not suffice now, as
they did in old times. There must be per-
sonal canvass of every district, with local
clubs and committees in all parts
of the State. The negroes have what
is equivalent to this in secret sys-
ten Of communication, relic of the days
of slavery. "There is sort of mysterious free
"masonry among them," wrote one of our spe-
cial correspondents recently, "by which every
"man, however ignorant, knows when cleo
tioh u"y Oo"0o' anu 10 suPPi'0u Win UOhol
before he leaves home.n There was an cleo
ton recently in certain Alabama county for
school superintendent. The white Conserva-
tives put up a candidate, and supposed there
was to be no opposition. But on election day
the blacks suddenly turned out in force, with
ballots secretly printed, and the whites were
largely outvoted.
In Alabama, moreover, there is a special
danger. A law of 1853 makes it penal of
Tense to challenge n registered voter. The IA
ciity with which blacks can be imported from
other States and registered by the Grant in
spectors is we'll known and once enrolled as
voters there is no means of preventing the de-
post of their ballots. The carpet bag legis-
lators to whom the State is indebted for this
infamous law were careful also to exclude

ORR CANALS.

Mr.. Israel #. Hatch of Buffalo wants the
Canals of our State made free. If he could
induce the Federal Government, or any gov
eminent, to buy them, and make them free
that would be quite satisfactory to the people
of our State But to tax the farmers OF New
York for this purpOse-that is, to increase the
cost of everything they raise in order to re-
duce the cost of everything brought into the
State to compete with them-dOes not meet
their appreciation. They are now heavily
taxed to support the Canals, including severai
that do not pay ten per cent. OF their running
expenses-and they are about TO be taxed SUN
higher for Canal purposes, apart from MI
Hatchs project. Can you wonder that they
do not enjoy the prospect
Mr.. Greeley, in our late constitutional Con-
yention. proposed a sale of each Canal TO the
highest bidder, under suitable conditions anu
restrictions. He never dreamed that his propo-
sition would prevail; he did believe that "A
time would come when the State would retire
from the business of transporting merchan-
disc leaving it to men who can make IL pay,
whereas she is losing Millions by it. The
Railroads put up and put down their toLs
lust as may enable them to take all the nelght
they want, while the State takes their leay-
ings at fixed rates. This cannot always
go on. By-and-by, the taxpayers will grow
weary of supporting it. Had individuals Of
fered to construct our Canals, the State would
never have invested a dollar in them If
company of merchants and fOrwarders owned
them, they would do far more transportation
than now, and be run at half the cost. All
Mr.. Greeley sought in the Convention was to
call attention to this subject, 80 that the peo-
pie might reflect upon it. After they shall
have tried tried one party, then the other,
four OF five times more, they will realize that
no business is so well done by the State as by
business men who have a personal interest IN
its success.
