New-York tribune., 1873-02-01

The Union Pacific doctors disagree Mr..
John B. Alley, speaking in glowing terms OF
the patriotic services of Mr.. 0akes Ames in
the construction of the Pacific Railroad, said
he deserved monument. DR.. Durant, who
was one of the original participants in the
great work, and ought to know something
about it, told the Poland Committee, yester-
day. that Mr.. Ames was mere man OF straw
in the business-a sort of John Doe or Richard
Roe. He treated with contumely the claim
set up for Mr.. Amess exalted patriotism, and
left the impression that the great Credit Mo-
bilier fnancler was only smart operator who
was also lucky and rich. DR.. Durant may be
prejudced; but it is not likely that this gen.
Grafton will give Mr.. Ames a monument.
New-York tribune., 1873-02-01

There is a CLEAN of light in the Louisiana
political chaos. 1t is thought that enough
candidates for the Legislature to form con-
stitutional quorum have received the indorse-
ment of both Returning Boards. If this is the
fact, Just solution of the difficulty is posi-
bic. The organization of such quorum OF
the State Legislature would give certain
legal nucleus around which State Govern
ment worthy the name might form. We can
not guess where acting Gov. Kellogg and So
called Senator Pinchback would fall in case
such a new beginning were made; but the
country would generally accept any result
from the Legislature.
New-York tribune., 1873-02-01

Something of the style with which the affairs
of the Union Pacific Railroad Company have
bean managed was shown in the testimony given
yesterday as to the fee paid Gen. Dix. When
that gentleman was Minister to France the
Union Pacific managers gave him $4,000 for
his desired influence in the sale of their bonds
The exact amount of this piece of extrava-
gance has been covered up heretofore, although
the fact that Gen. Dix was so retained by the
Company was long ago stated in TIE TRIBUNE.
New-York tribune., 1873-02-01

January I, 1874, it appears, is to be fixed
upon as the day on which specie payments
are TO be resumed. At least, the House Com
mittee on Banks and Banking have decided
to name that date in their forthcoming bill to
provide for resumption. After all the talk
about devices and expedients for resumption,
the action of Congress to this date shows
little else than an intention to hang out on
the Treasury DOORS next New Years Day, q
sign of Specie Payments Resumed"
New-York tribune., 1873-02-01

On receiving the announcement by cable of
the selection of Count Won Room as Minister
President of Prussia, we expressed our belief
that this appointment indicated a reactionary
policy on the part of the Government of that
country. The letter from our Berlin corre-
spondent, published on the third page, tends
to confirm this impression. The utmost, how
ever, that reactiOnary Government can do
is TO retard progress COR time; the adVan-

tage already secured by the people will be too
firmly held by them to permit Of retrogression.

The Seventh Regiment. New-York State
Militia, in their memorial to the Legislature,
applying for an armory site in this city, make
up brilliant and usefal record of their ser
vices. The famous regiment has done duty on
special and pressing occasions from 1925 TO
1873; men, officers, and citizens may well be
proud of such roll. But for all that, we
have too few breathing places in the city to
feel able to give the gallant Seventh slice OF
the Reservoir Park on which to put their ar
mory. Our people would like to oblige the
regiment; but, really, this is asking too much.

The hopeful financial outlook of yesterday Ia
sustained to-day. The workings Of the system
of cert fed checks adopted by the bank assocla-
tons of leading cities Is getting familisrized to
the public, and 10 found 10 serve admirably in
restori' confidence, and more especially, in
proven ing drain Of currency to New York to
great financial and business center, natur ally
draws the funds Of other cities to 1t, and when
as ut present, premium OF i've and six per
cent. for currsnR Oesr certified checks Is paid
In that city che imp~ns OF currency In that direc-
ton Is greatly acce,srAted. 1t u stated that q
considerable portion OF the amount drawn out
yesterday from the Washington banks that con-
tinued 70 pay out currency, Was expressed to
New York for sale for the premium, or for
speculative purposes, ~ buving stocks at the
low rates prevailing there. 1t Is easy to see
that the practical effect of this Is deplete this
city OF currency to the great injury of business.
There is scarce q merchant or dealer in the
city but finds the prevailing scarcity OF cur
rency almost q complete chez to business at
this time; and the evil promises to be felt even
more severely If the present drain is continued,
and the existing amount Of Currency is further
drawn upon togo to NeW York or to be boarded
In safes and stockings at home. The course
adopted by the bankers of the leading cities
outside Of New York In Issuing certified checks
as supplementary business fund, and paving
out currency only in small sums when actually
needed for legitimate uses, Is the only way to
protect the business people rom panicky
hoarders, or interruptions spectators on the
needs of the public

The GovnRInIST AND THE NATIONAL
BAHKs.-Ths Secretary Of the Treasury does
not think there 10 any authority in the national
banking lav - warrant the Interference Of the
government in the case Of any national bank
which may suspend payment to Its depositors
This u something, hs says, which the govern
nent has nothing TO do with. Unless Q bank
refuses 70 give legal tenders for . note Of its
own issue they will not interfere. In the case Of
the First National Bank in Washington, when
they wanted receiver appointed, he says he
had great trouble 10 nnd one of their own notes
to protest, and that the bank could Just IS well
have gone on and liquidsted Its debts and saved
its charter; for when he once appoints a receiver
the bank is like dead man, who cannot be
brought to life again by the payment of the
debts against his estate.

The congratulatory call upon Governor Shep-
herd made by the leading business men Of the
city last night in body ought to set at rest the
falsehoods sent away from here to the effect
that the business interests of the city were op-
posed to his administration. 1t will be seen by
the list Of names that almost every prominent
business man in Washington took part in this
demonstration Of confidence and good will in
and towards Gov. Shepherd. And, as we'll
stated by one Of the speakers, the gathering
vas composed Of personal friends, without re-
gard to party, faction, or creed. In fact, a
very considerable proportion of those partici-
pating in this demonstration of confidence in
the friend Of their boyhood and their manhood
were of those who take no part in politics be-
yond what is required by the duties Of good
citizenship. Among these may be mentioned
the two speakers on behalf OF the visitors, Mr.,
Mitchell and Mr.. Given, Who, though held
amongst our most respected business men, are
conservative in politics and certainly cannot be
ranked a. Dartisans of the Board Of Public
Works. The endorsement of old friends and
neighbors, the substantial business community
OF Washington, in this hearty aud unsolicited
manner must have been particularly gratifying
tp Governor shepherd.

Aid for the Sufferer.

We must noe allow the inconvenience and
difficulties arising from the present financial
panic to cause rs 10 forget the deplorable con-
dition Of the fever stricken sufferers at Shreve-
port. From tbs vivid representations made to
us BY the Rev. DR.. Tudor, Of New orleans,
formerly of this city,, We are satisfied that
there 10 scarcely . case on record where the
needs Of community appealed with such ter
rible pathos 10 tn sympathies of the benevo-
lent. The country, and the whole world in fact,
responded promptly 10 the appeal In behalf Of
the sufferers BY the great fire ct Chicago, but
the amount Of real suffering there was infiai-
tesimA compared 10 thatof . whole commani-
ty stricken down BY pestilence as at Shreye-
port The lateA information from there by
telegraph Is to the effect that the fever is raging
with undated fury, that the restitution pre-
vsiling Is rs heartrending a. the disease itself;
that the resources of the benevolent Howard
association are exhausted, the Door are threat
ened with actual starvation, and the sick and
dying are to be deprived of the commonest
comforts humanity can offer them.
We hear that q committee of energetic and
benevolent citizens OF Washington will at once
set about canvsssing for subscriptions for the
aid Of the unfortunate community of Shreye-
port, and we doubt not that the people of Wash
ington, who have aided 20 generously in proper
ton to their means when the necessity was far
less urgent, Will not be behind hand in this case

II some Of our shrewd business men would
advertise TO receive certified checks in payment
for goods, they would be apt, not only to make
large sales, but they would do substantial ser
vice to the community BY showing how these
checks can be made practically available in the
way Of currency. To facilitate this operation,
We would suggess that checks be drawn for
ANAL amounts, in even figures, Is IS, $40, $50,
and 50 on. These checks, Endorsed by the ay&p-
cisted banks, would be quite as valuable and
serviceable a. greenbacks.
