was fair, so was the maid they walked
and talked beneath the shade, with none

issued permanently within proper lin
its, and the Treasury so strengthened
as to be able to redeem them in coin
on demand, it will then be safe to in
augurate 8 system of free banking,
with such provisions as to make com
pulsory the redemption of the circu-
latlng notes of banks in coin, or Uni
ted States notes, themselves redeema-
bic and made equivalent to coin. AS
a measure preparatory to free banking
or for placing the Government in a
condition to redeem its notes in coin
at the earliest possible moment, the
revenues of the country should be ia
creased so as to pay the current ex-
penses, provide for the sinking fund
required by law, and also a surplus to
be retained in the Treasury in gold.
am not believer in any artificial
method of making paper money equal
to coin when coin is not owned or
held ready to redeem the promises to
pay, for paper money is nothing more
than promises to pay, and is valuable
exactly in proportion to the amount
of coin that it can be converted into.
While coin is not used as a circulating
medium, or the currency of the coun-
try is not convertible into it at par, it
becomes an article of commerce as
much as any other product. The sur
plus will seek foreign market, as will
any other surplus. The balance of
trade has nothing to do with the ques-
ton. The duties on imports, being
required in coin, create limited de-
mand for gold, and about enough to
satisfy that demand remains in the
country. To increase this supply I
see no way open but by the Govern
ment boarding, through the means
above given, and possibly by requir-
ing the National Banks to aid.
1t is claimed by the advocates of
the measure herewith returned that
there is an unequal distribution of the
banking capital of the country. I was
disposed to give great weight to this
view of the question at first, but on
reflection it will be remembered that
there still remains four millions OF
dollars of authorized bank note circu-
lation, assigned to States having less
than their quote, not yet taken. In
addition to this, the States having less
than their quota of bank circulation
have the option of twenty five millions
more, to be taken from those States
having more than their proportion.
When this is all taken up, or when
specie payments are fully restored, or
are in 1apid process of restoration,
will be the time to consider the ques-
ton of 'more currency"

While in the city last week for
several days, we took occasion to
drop in to see what was going on in
the Constitutional Convention. Busi-
ness there seems to drag along slowly.
The judiciary and Temperance ques-
tions seem to be difficult questions to
settle, and a great deal of discussion
is being had upon these subjects
There is a great deal too much talent
in this convention, or at least, is too
greatly diversified that's, il is divided
up among too many gentlemen who
feel constrained to make their lights
shine, greatly it may be feared. to the
delay OF the legitimate business of the
Convention. If about Is of the best
men in the Convention had been select
ed to frame a constitution and submit
it to the people, it would, undoubtedly,
have been done in so or go days.
There are a number of important
questions yet to be decided upon, and
the pro liability is, that the Convention
will not get through with the work, so
as to adjourn, until some time in
June. --

Snow Storm in the East.

PoUGHKEEPs1E, April 26.-The storm
of yesterday and last night at Boston
Corners was terrific, and heavier than

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.

Last Saturday night the residence of
Rev. J. Chambers, in this city, was stoned,
breaking in three windows, and next
morning seven good sized stones were
found in the house. The perpetrators of
this dastardly act, are unknown, but the
temperance people charge that it was
done because of Mr.. Chambers temper
ance sentiments.
The same evening stones were thrown at
Van Heyde's saloen, from the direction of
the Crusade party.
Monday night, the residence of DR.. Judy,
in New Holland, was assailed, the door
battered in with rails and the windows
smashed with stones. One large boulder
fell near the head of the bed, where DR..
Judy and wife were sleeping. It is not
known who were engaged in this coward
ly attack, but it is supposed to have been
the work of the Temperance Leaguers, a s

WashingtOn--The Financial Bill
is Decided Upon by the Senate
Committee.
FINANCIAL MATTERS.

FINANCIAL MATTERS.
The friends of the Senate finance
bill will on tomorrow move to take it
up and vote upon it, and hope to do
SO without debate. The Republican
friends of the bill wish to avoid all
discussion that might lead to disturb
the harmony of the party, but to show
by their votes that their convictions
of the merits of the bill have not
changed. The opponents of the Sen
ate bill are still talking freely of
compromise measure upon which both
parties can unite. The main features
now suggested are free banking, with
the retirement of one million of green
backs for every four million Of bank
notes issued; abolishing the reserves
on circulation fixing the amount of
greenbacks at 1882, 100000, the
amount not to be reduced below that
except in accordance with the provis-
ions of the bill; and providing that
on and after the 1st Of January 1878,
greenbacks may be converted into a
four per cent. thirty year bond, the
greenbacks thus converted to be again
paid out in the purchase of the 500
bonds.
1t is understood that Senator Nor
ton is desirous of having some meas
ure agreed upon which will meet the
demands of the West and South, and
secure the substantial support of all
parties, and it is believed the above is
his plan. There will not be any man
ifesto issued by the friends of the bill,
as rumored
THE COMMITTEE DECIDES UPON A CURREN-
CT BILL.
The Senate Finance Committee held
meeting to-day to prepare the new
finance bill. 1t will differ somewhat
when reported from the plan already
telegraphed as the one Senator Nor
ton and his associates desire, though
1T is thought the two measures may be
SO modified on the floor as to secure
q bill both parties will accept. The
Senate committee agreed to free bank.
ing, and to fix on 40 per cent. as the
proportion of greenbacks to be retir-
ed, the process to continue till the
volume is reduced to three hundred
millions. The committee meets in the
morning to determine upon the form
of provisions looking to specie resump-
ton.

The State Temperance Conven-
vention at Cincinnati last week was
grand affair, and was a surprise to that
city; the temperance women came
down on the city like an avalanche of
pure snow, but not exactly as cold, al
though it did cause a good deal of
sbivering amongst the dealers of the
ardent and their friepds. y counties
were represented, and the meetings at
the different Churches were exceeding
ly interesting. These meetings were
addressed by ladies as we'll as gentle
men, and none, who heard them, could
avoid the conclusion, that in this no.
BILE temperance work, the women are
the most efficient workers. We feel
confident this uniting together of the
friends of temperance from all parts
of the State, and the interchange o1
personal views upon the subject, will
result in great good to the cause, moi
only in our own State, but throughout
the Union.

- The Constitutional Convention
on Saturday and Monday had the
question of license or no license, for
the sale of spurious liquors, un-

deal of skirmishing on Saturday; on
Monday afternoon a vote wss taken on

and to day, Thursday, was set for a
final reading. The report as it now

pass the Convention, reads:

The President's VetO.

In to-day's HERALD we puoIIsh tue
MESSAGE of President Grant, giving
his reasons for Withholding his sigma
ture from the currency bill, or what is
called by the opponents of the ir-
crease of currency, the Imitation Bill. "
We must confess that we were not
prepared for this action on the part of
the President It fell like q wet blan
ket on all those whose necessities in
business required more of the circulat
ing medium, and who had high hopes
of success in their business operations
under the influence of an increase in
the monetary affairs of the country
The question of finance is one of great
magnitude, and there is a great varie-
ty of opinions and theories upon this
subject, and we doubt whether even
the wisest and most skillful fnancers
in the country are equal to the task of
defining to a precision what would
have been the result ultimately of the
increase demanded, as we have remark
ed, everyone has his own theory upon
this point. For our own part we do
not profess to be able to foretell the
precise result of this theory, upon the
future monitary condition of the cOun-
try. So far as present necessities are
concerned, the propriety of the veto
seems to be judged of, more from the
peculiar stand point of individual bus
mess men, than from the ultimate ef-
feet the policy of increasing the cur
rency at this time, would have upon
the business operations of the country
finally. To solve this question, il
seems to US, requires q great deal
more financial knowledge and skill
than even business men ordinarily pos.
sess.
By the masses of the people of the
West and South, where the circulating
medium is below the amount required
for the successful prosecution of the
legitimate business of the country, the
veto message is condemned, and ad
judged to be the result of inordinate
outside influences. Whether this idea
is entitled to consideration or not
such an impression has obtained, to q
very considerable extent. We, how.
ever, are unwilling to believe that the
veto was procured by such means, al
though the pressure was perhaps at
tempted to be forced upon the Presi.
dent. We hope we have not been
mistaken in the Presidents fidelity tc
his trust, and to the best interests OF
the country.
