"A special from Washington of the 18th
inst says: s''The announcement which was
recently made that the secretary of the
treasury claimed the legal right to issue forty
four millions Of legal-tender notes has been
sbundsnlly condraed By inquiries made from
financial centres, land established by the
further. fact that the"secretaryi has used at
previous periods several millions OF this
amount when. he required an immediate use
Of currency. With ths present low balance of
currency in the treasury an excellent oppor-
tunsywould be afforded for Wall street to
controrthsi money market; but by the claim
OF the department to issue this large, amount
OF additional notes the control Is abso-
lutely in.the hands OF the government, and
might be used at any time to give the market
. speculative tendency for the benefit of in
tereSted parties. The defence OF the secretary
Ii that HIS control Of the financial centres pre-
vents corners and other enormous forms Of
speculation, though 1t does not appear that he
Intends 70 ida the .forty-four millions to the
volume of circulation. The. policy seems to
be TO pse aportiop Of it'in san-emergency and
then t, withdraw 1t by sales of gold. 1t was
mena9ned III Congress that the secretary had
no legal power to use this forty-four millions,
sud,t the question will doubtless come up again
ii. the next session. This is the situation of
hasfotty-f -four millions at present"
