CURRENCY.

This wor,i constitutes the title Of au
editorial il tLo PicGyme Yesterday NOM
ing. The whole spirit Of the article is an
attack upon the plan of q national cur
rency and ar advocacy of the wildcat
State currencies which prevailed before
the war.
The constitutions, argument ndducei IS
old and technical, and conflicts with the
highest Judicial decisions repeatedly
made. 1t is unnecessary to enter into an
Interpretation Of the constitution. for
courts have settled the question, and the
practice of the government has become
established.
The Picnyue says there are two things
that no free people under q free govern
ment ought to allow their government to
control-their currency and their indus
try. It is true that government should
not control industry any further than to
protect the laborer from imposition and
oppression, and to afford ample remedies
AOi lIC NO14SIbiOli Va HtASCot b1L HNILEi1Ny
bears little relation to the subject of indus
try except 50 far as it, value has to do with
the prices Of property and the value OF
wages. Government should control cur
rency so far as is necessary to make it
uniform and valuable alike in all parts of
the nation. It will not be maintained
that currency should be issued by individ-
nails and that its volume should rest sole
ly on the authority and responsibility OF
individuals. without any authorization Of
law or requirements that will cause the
people to have faith in its value. No.
this is not the idea. But the theory Of
the Picaynuos is that the State and no. the
national government should authorize or
control the currency. Government ot
some kind after all must control currency,
and for what reason IS the State preferred
to the national: IS it because the State
can give Us a circulating medium that
will be sOunier or more conven:aU. in
use; or is it because it may be made
an agency of oppression. and that tie
exercise ot tie power Is mo:c
likely to tc abused by the genera: than
by the Safe government? Few Statei
gave their own people . valuable anL re-
liable currency when the old systeu WAS
il existence, and none gave a currency
whose value was not deprecated so 500:
ai it was conveyed any considerable DIS
lance beyond the borders Of the State
where issued. When Las the general gov.
'rnment abused the power OF issuing o.:
authorizing currency. and has not III cur
rency based OH the authority and Iabi..ty
Of the general government. been Is con-
venient for the people. ard rs valuable in
one part Of tie country as another? And
has not its currency been as valuable and
stable as that OF any State unde. the same
circumstances? And why fear tyranny
FROM the federal and no. from the Stale
government There never was grieYous
oppression in the United States that did
not derive its sanction from the State.

TIE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

This body offers sort Of neutral ground
upon which citizens may cooperate with
out suspicion of political motive. Il is a
sort Of .0aa lore within which there may
be an exchange Of opinion without yio-
lation of the restrictions which party di-
visions have imposed elsewhere. Whether
the measures proposed by the chamber
are listened to by the authorities they are
always rcplete with a sentiment of COM
mon welfare. which entities them to the
respect and secures the respectful consid-
Grafton of all.
Mr. J. H. Kennard introduced a propo-
sition to examine the facts connected with
the recent mud blockade. It was not in
tended to inculpate any one, but to take
testimony, as the lawyers say, is jeNc esSe.
to be read, if necessary. npor any future
inquiry. We might say. without otfense
to any of our readers, ''tO perpetuate evil
denCe, as was recently done ona political
occasion. The wisdom Of this order will
be obvious when Congress shall come
to decide whether this constant scratching
out of the bar by machinery VIII be
adequate to navigation. This testimony
impartially taken and authenticated will
be historical.
1t seems TO MS plain that wien Tie
access to the sea for twenty millions
Of people may be cut off by the ignorance
of ship master, or the anxiety of = pilot
to earn a few dollars. it is no such outlet
as a great productive interest requires.
The impartial inquiry ordered by the
chamber as to the fact of distractions
will decide whether the government should
rely upon submarine excavato-s. Upon
this subject We have no question. The
bar across the Mississippi outlet has ior
century and half stood at G. normal
depth Of from eleven to sixteen :ee:. 1t
hls been ieepened 20 eighteen and even
nineteen and half feet Lv artificial
means. Il has been closed by 4 single
storm, and recently ly grounded ship.
This demands q more permanent outlet.

pendent OF storms or currents. The
Chamber Of Commerce has recommended
this work. and now takes testimony to
prove that the best system of dredging
has proved insufficient TO avoid the OBJ
structions. Other theories so far as tried
having proved abortive. the corrollary is
inevitable. The Fort 81. Philip canal

the surrounding parishes have been inter
posing in favor of one of the parties, when
they should have appeared on the scene
as peace makers, if at all.
What it will be necessary for the Gov
ernor to do in the premises will depend
upon future advices. The opinion was
entertained yesterday that the excitement
would die away and the parties quietly
disperse and resume their ordinary avoca-
tions before a force sent from the city
could arrive at Colfax. If the next ad-
vices from above confirm these views,
there will be no necessity for sending up
on armed party to preserve the peace.
But we are assured that, if necessary, a
company of well armed militia will be
dispatched by the Governor with orders
to suppress the riot at all hazards, and
bring the guilty leaders to trial and pun
