REPORTS FROM TIE BLACK HILLs

We present to-day letter from our cor
respondent who accompanied the Black Hills
expedition, describing its returniand summing
up the work it has accomplished; and pre-
liminary official reports from the Chief En-
gineer, the Geologist, the Palaontologist, and
the Zo0logist of the survey. With these be-
fore us we are in better position to form an
estimate concerning the value of the whole
undertaking than was possible when the first
glowing dispatches from the new found terri
tory were at hand.
One of the most remarkable features about
this expedition is the utter failure of the evil
representations made concerning it. While
the forces were collecting at Fort Abraham
Lincoln, the air was darkened with rumors Of
impending danger. The advance toward the
Black Hills was to be the signal for a general
uprising of hostile tribes and an Indian war
AL along the border. The perils Of ambuscade
and fighting IN difficult country such ~ We
New-York tribune., 1874-09-14

the war continued there can be found nothing
having bearing on this question, either In
the acts of Congress, or in the successive
messages of the President, or in the recom-
mendations of the Secretary Of the treasury
which does not assume that return 10 the
gold standard will promptly follow the cessa-
ton of hostilities. Not only was this assur
ance, or warning, constantly held out to those
about to enter into pecuniary engagements,
hut on the 18th of December, 1865, the House
of Representatives, by the decisive vote OF l4i
to 6, passed the following resolution
ResoIred, That this House cordially concurs In the
views OF the Secretary the Treasury In relation 10 the
necessity Of a CONTRACTION OF THE CURRENC1'
with view to as early resumption OF specie payments
"a the busness interests of the country will permit
and we hereoy pledge cooperative action 70 ts Gu" s
speedily as practicable
The views thus approved by the House may
be found in Secretary McCullOch's Report on
the Finances for the year 1867. Not only DID
tho House approve the views which Mr. Nc
Culoch only few days ago reiterated, with
out the change of hair, but Congress passed
law authorizing him to contract the currency,
and under this law the currency was con-
tracted, aud the finances of the United States
placed on an improved foundation. Mr.. Mill
applies his argument to the specific instance
of the holders of Government bonds, but it
is equally conclusive in the case OF debtors
and creditors of every class. There is not
debtor in the United States, great or small,
of any class, kind or description whatever,
that has the slightest claim to have the cur
rency inflated in order that he may pay bis
creditor less than the number Of dollars he
promised to pay, or the shadow of right to
object to the speediest possible restoration OF
the gold standard by means of the withdrawal
and destruction of greenbacks, and the repeal
of the unconstitutional legal-tender act. The
sooner such measures are taken, the better 1t
will be for the interests of reputable business
and every sort of honest toll and service.
