JUDGE KELLEY introduced bill into
Congress yesterday embodyipg his views
as heretofore published and endorsed in
The JOURNAL. upon the currency ques-
ton. This bill looks to relieving by radi-
cal legislation the present fearful strin-
gency. 1t should be promptly reported and
acted upon. No time should be lost in
giving to the country measures to restore
confidence and bring out the money now
boarded as well as to furnish an adequate
supply to trade and industry.
We regret to see time taken in discuss
ing the repeal of the salary bill or any
other question while the country is groan-
ing under the terrible consequences OF a
money panic caused by monopoly of
its currency. There should not be
moments delay in authorizing the print
ing of legal tenders, and authorizing their
exchange for bonds to all corners. This
would afford immediate relief, and could
harm no one. But we despair of prompt
action unless Congress can be aroused by
some realizing sense Of the situation by
the press and personal appeal from the peo-
pie. Every man should use his infu-
ence to secure the attention of his repre-
sentative to the subject. The first aim
should be to get some simple and unob-
jectionable measure passed leaving
to future period, detailed legislation.
Judge Kelley's bill ought to unite all OPP
ponents of the present ruinous system.

THE Presidents message seems to be
rather exceptionally well received by the
press, though there is considerable discrep-
ancy Of opinion as TO the points in it most
Fworthy of commentator. The New York
Times regards the financial portion as be-
iagmost deserving of appreciation, aud says
no one expected that General Grant would
discuss the subject from the standpoint of a
tbeorist, and he does not, but "a remarka-
BILE pertinence and directness are noticeable
IN his suggestions, and his principles are
extremely sound" The Tribune, on the
other hand, does not find much to en-
dorse in the Presidents financial views,
but comedies that the President re-
presents the Cuban case every fairly,
and treats.i with such dignity and calm
ness as will meet the approval of Congress
and the people," The Herald regards the
message in the light Of dispassionate
record, and believes it was written simply
for the purpose of presenting, as briefly as
deemed possible, the acts of the admins
tration during the past year, and the legis-
lative measures which the Executive thinks
necessary or expedient upon our foreign
and domestic affairs for the general vel.
fare; and having thus discharged his duty,
with his mind relieved, he leaves the work
suggested to the consideration and the dis
cretion Of Congress. The Sun naturally
has no admiration to bestow upon any,
thing coming from the President. bat
admits that it presents "a fair view
of the condition of the different de-
partments of the government" The
Philadelphia Press praises the condensa-
ton shown in the message, considering
how much the President had to- say,n and
says, ut is satisfactory stewardship on
the whole, and he gives authority to what
was previously believed.n The Richmond
Dispatch says the President "seems to be
anxious to do his duty" but that "his
failure to refer to Louisiana stands in strik-
ing contrast to his solcitude for the ne
groes in Cuba, who are not more truly
deprived of their rights than are the white
people Of Louisiana. The Baltimore Sun
notes as an unusual omission that the mes
sage contains no allusion to Divine Proyi-
dence.
