The PcLrrIcAL TURMOIL AT THE SOUTH
The Senatorial scramble in North Carolina has
been brought to a sudden termination in an
unexpected manner. The struggle in the con-
servative ranks between Merrimon and Vance
threatened to prevent choice, but the repub-
lcans have cut the Gordian knot by voting for
Merrimon, who has thereby secured the cov-
eted prize The friends of Governor Vance
are like the heathen, raging In Alabama
Governor Lewis, the republican Executive OF
the State, has recognized the republican body
claiming to be the State Legislature, and Sena-
tor Spencer will claim a reelection to the
United States Senate but will have no Just
Claim to the seat. In Louisiana the fight be-
tween Governor Warmoth and the republican
courts continues and trouble seems impending
in New Orleans 1t is very evident from these
facts chat the South is still far from sspeace,"
and that some new departure must be made in
the policy Of reconstruction before the pres
ent evils eau be removed.
The New York herald., 1872-12-05

to redeem their notes would compel them to
hold far greater sum of dead or improbable
capital than they are now required to hold.
The national banks look only to their own in
terests, and they find these in an irredeemable
currency, with the smallest amount of locked
up capital to represent that currency
1t is difficult to see how this seesaw upon
mixed paper currency is to maintain specie
payments. if even we can reach a specie basis
with them. The scheme is all theory. We
know Of nothing like it in practice It might
succeed, but we have our fears. 1t is at most
merely an experimental system on an impor-
tant and vital matter. Mr.. Boutwell, seems TO
have got his idea of an elastic currency and
control of the Treasury Department over it
from the operation of the Bank of England on
the gold and discount market when it raises
the rate of discount The action Of the Bank
of England, however, is another thing. It
does not regulate or affect the volume of our
rency, except so far as making gold or money
dear for time, which checks the outflow of
specie and speculation. This is elasticity in
another sense, and has nothing to do with
the volume of circulation generally. The
Secretary has scintillation of light
as to the real and great difficulty
in making and maintaining specie pay
ments, though ne dwells little on that.
The drain of the precious metals to pay for
the balance of trade against us and the inter
est on our Indebtedness abroad is that diff
Guilty. To recur again to the idea of an elnstic
currency, we might ask if it would not be bet
ter to make legal tenders convertible and re-
convertible into United States bonds at any
time and to given amount, the bonds to bear
a rate Of interest that could easily be calcu-
lated and the interest paid to the time of con-
version. II currency were too abundant, and,
as consequence, interest low, people would
take up bonds for the higher interest on them.
and if on the next day or next week currency
should be scarce, or money tight to use a
Wall street expression, people would convert
their bonds into legal tenders. The market
would regulate itself, and would leave the Sec
retary of the Treasury to attend to his legiti-
mate business without interfering with the
trade and values Of the country. IF we are to
better way of regulating it than Mr. Bout
wells plan of elasticity and balancing between
two kinds of currency. Our financial system
under the present management is in a crude
and abnormal condition, and the sooner we
find some way to get out of it the better. The
great want of the time is an able finance
minister and statesman at the head Of the
Treasury Department

The Funeral OF Horace Greeley.
Yesterday the mortal remains Of Horace
Greeley were consigned to their last resting
place. The obsequies were worthy Of the
man. and it would be unjust to refuse TO ad-
NIT that New York honored itself by the re-
spect which it showed to the memory of the
great journalist II ia but seldom that such Q
spectacle as our streets presented yesterday is
witnessed in any city or among any people
Not since the funeral of the lamented Lincoln
has such an impressive scene been Witnessed,
and not even then were sympathy and sorrow
SO visible ON the faces of the crowds of human
beings who lined the sidewalks. In the church
and among those who followed the remains to
the grave were noticeable many of the city,
most distinguished children. 1t was NOT,
however, New York alone which did honor
yesterday to the great departed. Our sister
cities, Brooklyn and Jersey City, and the
neighboring townships were well represented.
Representatives from Baltimore and Philadel-
phia and other of the large cities of the
Union wore not wanting and the presence of
President Grant the Vice President and the
Vice President elect gave proof that the ma
ton was mourning over the loss of one of its
greatest citizens There was; nothing in the
demonstration fitted to remind one Of the
moro pompous funerals Of The Old World,
when some prince or warrior or illustrious
statesman is borne to his final home. II was
not such funeral as London gave some years
ago to the Duke of Wellington. It was quiet
and modest as contrastcd with that which we
gave to our own Lincoln. There was no os-
tentatious turnout on the part Of the societies;
there was no grand military display, and from
the church to the grave '.not drum was
heard, nor funeral note" In silence the
procession moved with silence the crowds
looked on, and in silence, as was most becom-
ing, the great journalist was laid in his grave
The silence, however, did not indicate the
absence of sympathy, but the reverse, for
sorrowful looks and wet eyes, in numerous
instances, testified to the existence of feelings
which noisy demonstrations could not
express. It was abundantly manifest yester-
day in the church, on the streets and
at the grave that many felt that
not only was good and true
man taken away from the midst of them, but
that they individually had lost friend.
Goodness" said DR.. Chaplin yesterday,
when speaking over the remains of the dead,
"goodness is better than greatness. It brings
us nearer to God" Few will refuse to admit
that, whatever the faults of Horace Greeley,
he had in him many of the elements Of truly
good man. He was man of the people, and
the peoples cause he never abandoned. His
sympathies were with the oppressed in all
lands, and with pen and purse he was ever
ready to help them. The grave has now
closed over his mortal remains; his spirit is
with its God. Let his weaknesses and short
comings, if he had such, be forgotten, and lot
his great outstanding merits as man and
as journalist be remembered and held up as
an example.

Our Correspondence from France.

We print to-day an interview of HERALD
correspondent in the French capital with M.
Leon Gambetta. The long and most inter-
esting conversation occurred just before the
reopening Of the sittings of the National AS
sembly, and its sentences are of great value to
the full understanding of the spirited struggle
which has since taken place in the legislative
theatre at Versailles. The ex-Dictator,
leader of the radical Left is presented in
his own words IN the firm supporter of the
conservatism of President Theirs, and we
cease to wonder at seeing him and NJ Louis
Blanc applaud the sentences of the message
~ they were uttered from the tribune in the
mastery oratory of the chief executive. M.
Thiers and the radicals alike have reasons
to prefer peace under the present condi-
ton of things to any monarchical expert
ment or to the anarchy which threatens
Gates Of republicanism, among whom M.
Gambetta is recognized chief, are confident
that a new election will give them absolute
control of the destinies Of the nation; but
meanwhile they see NJ. Theirs clearing Of the
German indemnity and fostering the national
resources. They are content that for some
months this should continue, so that they
may succeed to power under happier aus
pices than those in which M. Theirs took the
reins. They recognize the ability Of the great
Executive and are willing to give France the
benefit, though they do not assent to all his
views. So, when he pronounced the grand
declaration that 'the Republic is the only gov
ernment now practicable for France" it was
natural that he should have won the approval
OF those men in the Assembly who love the
Republic better than they do the President.
We are now informed that the storm in the
Chamber has cleared up, with prospect Of
the continued power of President and Cabinet.
Meanwhile republican France is gaining in
strength and confidence. and in good time
will teach Europe the lesson Of self-govern-
ment.
