Only about $4,000 volumes Of public
documents belonging to senators remain at
the Capitol. On the house side it is very
different. Immense piles of documents
belonging to members are slowed away,
and some disposition will have to be made
OF them. More than onehalf the mem.
bers OF the house were not reelected,
and these show no disposition to incur
the expense of postage in fol wardng docu-
ments to their late constituents. A re-
elected member, who was here yesterday
sending off documents, said he had
already expended one hundred dol
lars in postage, which was rather bitter
pill.

JUDGE KELLEY.


Upon the receipt of the telegram an
nouncing that the secretary of the treasury
had determined in case the ten millions oil
greenbacks issued did not relieve the com.
munity, to release the entire forty-four
millions of greenbacks, constituting what
is known as the reserve, Judge Kelley was
interrogated as to the result which this
move would have. The result of this con-
vtrsation, which will be read with great
interest by all, was as follows:
Reporter--Y have heard the news
Judge Kelley, of the intention of the Sec
rotary of the treasury with reference to the
lorty-four.million reserve. What do you
think of it2
Judge Kelley Had that amount been
released from the treasury gradually dur
ing the last three months, this crisis would
have been averted.
Rep.-What would have been the effect
on securities? 3
Judge Kelley-Thc credit of our railroad
securities abroad would have been sus-
tanned, and the great national railways now
embarrassed would, in all human proba-
bility, have been carried to early and sue
cessful completion,
Reporter What will be the result now ?
Judge Kelley-The rapid emission OF
the forty-four millions can not rebuild the
wrecks with which the country is strewn,
but will restore confidence, give an impe-
tus to business, and tide over the inter
regnaum between this and the coming ses-
sion of congress.
Reporter do you say until the
session of congress?
Judge Kelley-Bccause | believe that
Congress will remove restrictions from the
existing banking law, and devise means Of
giving fexibility to our currency by the
establishment Of a. free banking system.
An enterprising people, in command of
great resources, susceptible OF develop
ment, cannot conduct business successfully
and without the risk Of such crises as we
are now passing through, without a
reserve which may be called into effect in
times of exigency. The recent history of
the Bank of England has shown this.
'rhe banking law of lS4f limited the
amount of notes that might be issued. and
the government has been compelled to
remove these restrictions three times
and authorize the bank to increase its
issues.
Reporter VIII the effect be the same
here?
Judge Kelley-The emission now by the
secretary of the treasury of the forty-four
millions of greenbacks injudiciously retired
in by Mr.. Mccullough will have the effect
i'm our community that the issue of an ex-
Itraordinary amount of bank notes by order
of the government has always had in Eng
land.
Judge Kelley-It will restore confidence
in one week and many Of the houses that
have suspended, which, withoutsuch mea-
sure would be irretrievably ruined, would
be restored to standing by showing fayora-
BILE balance sheets as the result of getting
fair market prices for their assets. These
views have not been forced upon me by
this crisis, but were expressed to Colonel
Forney in an interview, the substance OF
which he published more than three months
ago, and in which | foretold the consequent
ces, such as the community are now feel
ing at

Are Kemper's Speeches too PrOrane 10
ia be Reported? tiFEtla

TO The Editor Of The State Jo,Y'nat:
| have looked anxiously for some report
of speeches made by General Kemper and
Colonel Withers in our Conservative pa
pers, and in vain. In the meantime
hear from personal friends reports of re-
marks made by both. and especially Gene
raj Kemper, which increase my solicitude.
For instance, friend informs me that an
esteemed and well-known clergyman in
Botetourt said to him that he was SO
shocked by the blasphemy, profanity and
vulgarity displayed by Kemper, in O
speech which he heard, that he felt obliged
to withdraw from the assemblage. Can
you not request of some Of your friends,
residing in places where Kemper has
spoken, as well as where he will speak, tc
send you reliable, brief reports o
his speeches. and then print them for thu
information of those unable to get the in
formation, sought also by
