tons out of a thousand, is accepted as tho
equivalent of the grecnback; which has the
same effect in raising prices and the goid
premium as the greenback; and which, being
redeemable in greenbacks, is worth, at inc
most, no more than the greenback. Inc
effect of the bill will therefore be to initiate
the currency, and to increase the difficulties
of returning to the gold standard.
The section Of the bill which provides that
National banks in the country shall keep
twenty-five per cent of the amount they owe
their dcpOsitOrs in their own vaults strength
ems the banking system where 1t IS not weak.
The trouble last September was with the city
banks. Congress might Just a. well leglslate
to keep Western grain and provisions out OF
New-York as to deprive this city OF the imam
cial instruments and machinery by means OF
which those commodities are brought mere.
So far as this provision Is represented
rs a measure of contraction, there are TWO
objections to it the first, that 1t destroys
the efficiency of portion of the paper money
hut does not Withdraw and destroy the paper
itself; the second that such an lmpractlcaDle
proyision would be repealed within twelve
months, and probably be found imperative IN
less than six Inasmuch as the banks are not
reogired to redeem their notes in gold, but IN
limited States legal tender notes, why not re-
ouire the Treasury 20 retain gold, instead or
the banks, which Cali have no use for 1t
until after the Treasury, by paying It's
notes ON demand, has restored the gold
Standard Under existing circumstance to
provide for the redemption of National bank
notes in greenbacks in sums of thousand
dollars at the U. S. Treasury is futile. Stir
ring the contents of wash-tub will not turn
stagnant water into running stream.
How the operation of selling five per
cent bonds at par in greenbacks and buying
six per cents at a premium with the same
greenbacks, can be prosecuted without increas-
ing the Public Debt we cannot imagine. We
think, too, January, 1877, is too early to expect
the advent of Secretary of the Treasury fit
70 be trusted with the enormous control over
the currency which the ninth section gives
bin.
The initiation in this bin is so simple that
child can understand it. You are to put
out two paper dollars for every one you
withdraw. The contraction is so disguised. so
twisted, so remote, so nsubstantial, so near to
"Chaos and old Night that it fades in the
gloom of nothingucss before mortal man can
find it.

Ladder in the State, of the most extreme views.
Tia ia known outside of the State chiefly by
mis- OppositIOn to the war measures of the
Government during the Rebellion. The bit
terncss of his hostility and the recklessness of
his utteranoes made him n conspicuous figure
in State politics, and gave him n position of
leadership which was invariably disastrous to
his party. IIsstubbornness of will and logged
tenacity of purpose combined with rugged
habit of thought and certain ferceness of
self-assertion, impressed the ranl, and file of
the party with notion of great intellectual
force and drew after him always a formidable
following. The same qualities constantly re-
PEELED the more conservative of the party, and
it was the habit of the opposition organs and
orators to make the principles he advocated
offensive by quoting him as their exponent.
He is to-day AZ for the past twenty years, the
best representative of all that is offensive and
unpopular in Democratic partisanship. Such
a choice by the Democrats would be BELT
Ting of the cause for which they claim to be
working, gratuitous oflense to their allies in
the contest, and marking down of the whole
thing to the low level of a partisan success,

leadership has never been wise or profitable
for the party.
OF the three candidates named, Gov. Inger-
soil is by all odds to be preferred. He is not
open to the objections which can be urged
against the Others. and is very capable,

many respects the superior of all the rest.
His election would be the best proof that tho

ness in behalf of the great reforms of which
he is so ardent an advocate, and which they
I profess to desire. But in discussing the ques-
ton, we have kept in view the simple posi-
| blities of the situation, and the fact that from
present appearances one of the three gentle
men named prominently will be chosen. Of
| these there can be no question as to the supe-
rior fitness of Gov Ingersoll, or as to the policy

A SURRENDER, NOT Il COMPROMISE.


Along straight line we can conceive of
motion forward and backward, but we cannot
imagine body moving upon the line in
direction which is neither the one nor the
other. And so of this question of imitation
we can conceive of an increase in the Quantity
of paper money afloat, and of decrease
but we are unable to imagine a change
which is neither an increase nor a de-
crease. The only thing which we ask about
the Finance bill now before the Senate is, in
what manner does it propose to affect the
quantity of irredeemable promises to pay now
circulating in this countryf If it increases
the paper money it is measure Of imitation
IL it decreases the paper money it is a
measure of contraction. IL it does neither it
is nothing, 30 far as this question is concerned
In any event it is not a Compromise meas
"ure.n
After the most careful examination of the
bill we are unable to find a provision in it
which now, or at any future time, diminshes
by single dollar the 770,0O0,OOO of paper now
used and accepted as legal tender in the
United States. No provision is made for the
permanent withdrawal of even one solitary
paper dollar. No provision is made for the
retention by the United States Treasury
of dollar in gold with which
to redeem its legal tenders. On the
other hand, provision is made for the in.
definite increase of National bank notes-a

Two moro members of the House Judiciary
Committee, Messrs. CarksOn N. Potter of
New-York and j. ID. Ward of Illinois. have
made a separate report on the South Carolina
memorial. The majority report of that Com
mittee admitted the evils complained OF by
the memorialists, but decided that Congress
had no power to remedy them. The minority
presented the complaint in fOrcible manner
with an argument in favor of the immediate
interference of Congress. Messrs. Potter and
Ward tersely sum up the frightfui political
decentralization Of South Carolina and
recommend that an investigation be ordered.
As THE TRIBUNE has already said, it seems
cruel to relegate the whole question to
voting population the prepOnderating major
ity of which is made up of ignorant clements
that are sure to be used for corrupt purposes
by corrupt men. There is now no hope IN
that direction. 1t is possible that careful
inquiry into all the facts may, rs this minor
ity suggest, disclose some remedy possible to
Congress; it may prevent repetition OF SIM
liar anarchy. Of course, nobody seriously
thinks of changing the basis of suffrage in
South Carolina; but craftsmanship ought to
be exhausted before the State is wholly given
over TO works of evil.

Although the general tenor of the news
from the inundated regions of the South West
has been reassuring, it is evident that some
portions of the country are still in great
danger. Large crevasses have been made in
the Ievee skirting the lowlands along the
north western border of Mississippi, and the
country is under water. These rich cotton
lands are likely to be despoied of their
wealth We have no late reports of the con-
dition of the people ; but the restitution must
be very severe in many of the flooded districts
The House was hurried up to some purpose
Yesterday Under severe pressure from the
Appropriations Committee it rushed through
two important bills, one of which-the River
and Harbor Appropriation bill-disposes OF
four and q half millions of dollars. That this
heavy measure should be taken through the
House without debate, division, or amend
uent is indeed remarkable. The "good man

Reports from Arkansas are not less beilger-
emf than heretofore. The upshOt of the whole
business is that, in accordance with the Presi-
dents suggestion, the Legislature will take no
action on the much-vexed question until full
attendance is secured. So far, if the half
suppressed elatiOn of Baxter means anything,
the majority of the members Of the Legisla-
ture at the capital are of the Baxter stripe
Brooks has called an extraordinary SEES
"sionn for May o. This means that
he desires the presence of such of his
followers as do not recognize Baxter and Bax-
ter's call to the Legislature. Meantime, how
ever. both parties amuse each other with
occasional collisions. The reports read like
bulletins "from the front" in the old days of
the civil war. In the skirmish at Barring
Cross yesterday the Brooks men seem to have
suffered most no decided advantage has been
gained by either side, and there is no disband-
ment of the troops.
