FRIDAY, APRIL II, 1874
THE CURRENCY BILL.

Notwithstanding, as we announced yes
terday, the fact that the Scott amendment
to the currency bill will produce an imme-
date contraction of the currency; that the
volume of national bank notes, in the end,
will be no larger than at present, yet the
passage of the bill is a triumph for the i'll
fationists. 1t, moreover, shows us what
we may expect even If the workings of this
amendment shall prove to be as Comptrol-
Ter Knox states. There is, also, an actual
initiation. Treasury notes have been in
creased from three hundred and fifty-siX
millions of dollars to four hundred millions
of dollars. The House absolutely refused
TO fix day for the resumption of specie
payments. Mr. Hoar vanly cndcayore1 TO
have day fixed when gold and silver only
should be legal tender, and although he
was defeated by vote of seventy to one
hundred and seventy-enc. An amendment
authorizing the funding of grcenbacks in a
four-and-a-half per cent. bond met with a
similar fate. 1t must be understood that
the legal tender provision was applicable
only to debts contracted after the resump-
ton of specie payments-tllat is after July
4th, 1876. 1t must. also, be noticed that
whether or not there is an actual initiation
or contraction of national bank circulation,
there is or will be issued large additional
amount of irredeemable currency. In one
sense, it is all perfectly good, being secured
by the bonds of our government. But the
only security for the payment of these Is
the same as the security for the payment
and redemption of greenbacks--thati is the
faith of the government. BY the passage
of this bill, the majority of Congress have
shown how much ground there is for that
faith, how much dependence can be placed
thereon, and how much security there is
therein. Vermont, and we think New
England with the exception of Butler, were
solid against tins bill and united in the en-
deavor to sustain the plighted faith of the
government. One result of the passage of
this bill has already showed itself in an in
creased premium on gold, and if the bill
becomes n law there will be a still further
increase. Our only hope now is in the
President. He Understands the sentiments
of the country, and if he acts in accordance
with his pronounced opinions, he will veto
the bill. If so, initiation and incipient re-
pudiation are dead, because Congress can
not pass any such measure over his veto.
Let us hope that he will be firm and save
the honor of the country

People have complained of the back
ward spring, says an exchange, the damp
SHOWS, the chilling winds and all that, and
realize much discomfort, if not i'll health
But it is not unmitigated evil that these
winds are blowing The farmer tell us
that backward spring is the surest pro-
tector of fruit, as it keeps back the buds
beyond the danger from the latest frosts.
The sugar season is protracted for the same
reason, as sap always flows till the buds
begin TO start. An April snow is regarded
as OF more value to winter crops and grass
than coating of manure, and it is also a
powerful agent in extracting the frost from
the earth. 1t is likely that many farmers
will be late with their spring work. but an
immense amounted blowing was done dur
ing the mid weather last winter, and this
will greatly facilitate matters. We are AL
so escaping the poisonous miasmas that n
warm, damp spring invariably breeds. A
backward spring is generally followed by a
healthy simmer, and usually productive
one, especially in those products that are
endangered by late frosts. SO il is hardly
worth while to complain of the cold and
backward weather. The Good Father
who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb, has an excellent way of regulating
the seasons, and His way usually proves
the best In the long run.

The slate used by them is procured from
their quarries distant about mile, it being
a purple, green and varicglted color They
also have a red slate quarry which for roof
ing and tileing purposes is said to be one of
the best.
AT the quarrics and mills they employ
$50 men, fifty being employed in the mill
alone, and the sum of $1,000 is monthly
used for the payment of wages, and their
sales amount TO over $4,000 per year.

think. as vet, that il would be expedent or
desirable for the general government to in
terferc-it is difficult to anticipate what
shape affairs may hereafter assume. 1t is
certainly different case from that OF Lou
isiana, and although in many respects en-
tirely different from that of Rhode Island,
1t is somewhat akin thereto. The supreme
court of that state, it seems to us, has the
power by summary process to rectiiy the
matter and to enforce obedience to its or
ders and DEGREES. With our present infor-
mation,it is difficult to ascertain just where
the danger is and how powerful or power
less are the regularly constituted authori-
ties. 1t seems to us that by the original
certificate, the declaration of the legisa-
ture, and the decision of the supreme
court that Baxter is tie governor of Arkan-
sas and that, If he cannot maintain his au-
thority, the supreme court, their decrces'
and rioting and boodshcd should cnsue, it
may be the duty of the general govern
ment to interfere as in the Rhode Island
case. if properly called upon. We trust
not. however. as we and the whole country
are heartily sick of this southern lawless-
ness, arising wholly from an inability, OF
want of desire and lack of sufficient state
pride to regulate their own local and state
affairs.

What Will The President do }

The finance act which passed Wednesday
will be submitted to the President at once.
The general impression still is that he will
sign it, though no one seems to have any
authority one way or the other TO say what
he will do with it. Several Senators with
whom he has conyersed on the subject of
the finances were unable to gather from his
conversation what course he would proba-
bly, pursue. The expanslonists are not al
together satisfied with the bank features OF
the new act, and hope to modify the House
free banking bill, which passed Wednesday
and was referred to the Senate finance com
mttee Thursday, so as to secure more inn
mediate initiation. 1t will be difficult, how
ever, to get any free banking scheme now
through the Senate without some measure
looking to resumption. The expansionists,
however, are SO demoralized by the result
of their labors in the bill just passed that
they will accept any redemption feature
that takes with ii an early issue of more
paper money.

The New way of EiectIng Prcsi-
dent

The plan that is regarded with most fav-
or is that which provides for an election of
delegates by districts. The present plan
OF allowing an entire ticket to be made up
for state and elected or rejected as a
whole is, if possible, to be changed, and
the committee having charge of the sub
ject unanimously agree to recommend Il
change. The Senate committee, which has
charge of this subject, intend that the bill
they report shall be entirely free from par
tisanship. If possible, bill will be shaped
which can receive the unanimous support
OF the committee. One object of the re-
form is to prevent a few great states from
controlling a presidential election, by divid-
ing their vote and another is to prevent
minority candidate from being elected.
Under the present system it is possible to
elect a man President of the United States.
though majority of the legal voters cast
their votes for the defeated candidate. The
plurality privilege is to be incorporated in
to the bill. 1t is believed that a constitu
tional amendment can be devised which
nearly all the state legislatures will agree
to before another presidential election is
held.

The Connecticut Election

The Connecticut members of Congress
are back in their places, says the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Troy Times, in
deed, the fact that the currency question
was before the House and might come TO a
vote, compelled them to return, if they had
inclined to stay, which the three republi-
can members of the House did not. Our
friends who went up to vote tell a doleful
story of the political situation of the state.

Fs:,siness Before Congress.

AT the conference of republican men,
bers held at the house of Speaker Blame on
Monday evening the question of the date of
adjournment was discussed, and it was the
general opinion that if no further financial
discussion is had in the House the session
can be ended early in June, and that there
is no reason for protracting the session be-
You'd the middle of that month. The
Geneva award bill and number of other
important measures remain to be acted
upon in addition to the appropriation bills,
which will occupy about month, and the
House will have to devote itself steadily TO
business to get through with its work at
the date mentioned. The members who
are anxious for reelection next fall wish
to get away from Washington as soon as
possible, but this feeling does not exist in
the Senate, where such matters as the
transportation bill and the Louisiana cues
ton will occupy great deal of time. In
view of the state of business in the Senate,
1t is doubtful whether an adjournment can
be had before the LIST of July.

Abolition OF Mileage.

The passage of the bill abolshing mile
age and giving instead to senator's, mem
bers, and delegates actual travelling expenses
has been accomplished, against the wishes
of majority of the republican members,
who voted against it. The bill was report
ed by the committee on mileage, and ap-
peared to be surprise to most of the mem
bers OF the house. When the salary bill
was repealed last December the members
had their mileage restored, and expected TO
have it continued at least during the pres
ent Congress. Indeed, when the bill was
announced to the senate by the clerk of the
house it crcuted good deal of merriment
