STATE RANKS.

Senator Clayton, Of Arkansas, has
taken up the quest ton of State banks,
and is urging it 50 judiciously and yet
persistently as to encourage hopes of
his success. The NesO York Bulletin
regards it with great favor, and insists
that inasmuch as the State bank circu-
lation is only taken out when wanted
for actual use, and Is deposited as soon
as it ceases to be needed, it answers
fully for the purpose of an elastic cur
rency, without being open to the OBJ
lection strongly urged against the IN
tercbangeability scheme-that the lat
ter compels the people to pay taxes on
idle money. To the objection that the
State bank notes viii not pass current
outside of their own neighborhood
except at a discount averaging two
per cent, the answer is that, in
stead of being defect, this fact is a
substantial merit of the proposition,
since it secures the country districts
against being stripped of currency by
remittances to great cities, in dull
seasons, for loaning out on call, and
that the two per cent discount Is moth
ing compared to the discount Of ten to
sixty per cent which the federal cur
rency has borne everywhere for ten
years. Uniformity of currency through
out the country has many great ad-
vantages, but the Capitalization of the
present system, which requires heavy
accumulation of greenbacks in New
York for redemption purposes, at once
drains the country districts and fos-
tiers the wild speculations of Wall
street In money matters as
in government, decentralization is
the synonym Of freedom Instead of
one great financial focus, where
cliques can organizeby tie tens of mil
lions, this great country needs several
financial centres, to preserve equihbri-
um between the various sections. Now
that finances are TO the fore. we hope
the subject viii be probed to the bot
tom. There is too much of a DISPOSE
ton to follow the ruts made by the ar
tillery of war. The country fourished
under the old State system of banking,
as no people ever prospered before or
since. It had its defects. but if expert
ence has taught us anything, these de.
fects need not be revived with the sys-
TEN.

coupUt.soRY EDUCATION.

The New York City Council of Po-
lit;cal Reform adopted a resolution
Dee. 80, 1873, to the effect, that the
Legislature should provide for the
compulsory education of all children in
the State, between the ages of eight
and fifteen years, by comforting upon
the school boards the power to compel
attendance The resolution was adopt
ed in pursuance of a lengthy report
from the Committee on Education set
ting forth the reasons for compulsory
education. The report gives the sta
tistics of American States and 9TH
ers to show the power OF edu-
cation to prevent crime and pauper-
ism. The figures show that this
power is great. Upon this, the writer
of the report concluded that education
should be compulsory. Government, /"
says he, should prevent both crime
and pauperism by extirpating the
cause of each, to-wit: Ignorance" He
thinks the right to enforce attendance
upon the schools is coupled with the
power to provide the schools. "The
taxpayers" says the report, who fur
nish the money to educate all the peO-
pie, have a right to require that all
shall be educated, in order that crime
and pauperism, and the public burdens
caused by the same, may be reduced to
minimum and the ballot welded only
by intelligent voters" Another argu-
ment adduced is, that the
class most in need of school
training seldom attend school
at all; to-wit: those whose parents,
through ignorance, poverty or crime
give them little or no home education.
This class, it is maintained, can be
reached only by compulsory and
searching statute. Again. it is found
that free education has largely in
creased the producing capacity of the
people. As a reason why the arguments
for State education will not apply to a
State church, the report assigns the
following: Because, while protecting
each citizen in the undisturbed enjoy
ment of his own religion las all our
constitutions do as a sacred matter
between him and his Maker, and thus
tolerating all religions, our govern
ment has none of its own and cannot
favor any sect"
A bill providing for the compulsory
education Of the children of Illinois
was passed by the House of Representa-
tives of that State on the Goth inst.
According to its provisions children be-
tween the age of 8 and II must be sent
to school for three months of the year,
and six weeks Of this schooling must
be continuous. Poverty cannot be
pleaded as an excuse for failure to CON-
ply with the lawi as all the books ne
cessary will be Supplied by the State,
and clothes viii be given to destitute
children Parents or guardians who
neglect to obey the law will subject
themselves to prosecution and to fines
for thirteen weeks, rising from 81 to S.
for each week of such neglect.

LET the currency be placed upon a
specie basis, and at once the value Of
orr money VIII be enhanced at least II
per cent, thus eifectually adding over
S90,000,000 at once TO the monetary
resources of the country. Besides, as
moneyis better and nearerpar, all sorts
of commodities viii become cheaper.
If the government redeems the pledge
under which she rests, and were TO re.
sumo specie payment, we sincerely be-
heYe that instead OF paGies and strikes
and famines and bankruptcy, instead
of driving all the gold and specie away
from the United States, it will be re-
tanned as 4 permanent basisof CONNER
cial operations, and additional amounts
attracted to this country from foreign
nations; instead Of distrust and lnisfor-
tune, confidence IN the government and
among business men will be restored,
and the prosperity of the country great
er than ever Decentralization (TeHa.J

CaESE AND EFFECT.

Mistaking cause for effect, and rice
rersa. Is a most fruitful source Of fnan-
cial fallacies. Senator Logan, for in
stance, says: The importation Of gold
must be greater and the expectation
less before we can consider thequestion
of coin resumption" Dir. Logan
might as well postpone resumption till
water runs up hill. So long as our cur
rency is deprecated, the heavy cxporta-
tons OF gold viii continue, because
gold cannot afford to lie idle and Will
seek countries where 1t can enter into
circulation. The only way to stop the
outflow of gold from this country, is to
resume specie payments, placing
our gresnbacks on a level
with gold and with English
bank notes. Gold would then haye no
inducement to leave Us. On the con-
trary. our higher rates of interest would
have their natural effect, thus Offering
gold greater inducements than amy OH
er country. Those who urge greenback
initiation, ought to think Of the gold IN
fiation which would enlarge the vol
pme of our currency, if all the COIN now
boarded in bank vaults and old stock
inss were drawn int circulation by
specie resumption. Here is chance
for initiating the currency on a sound
basis, which deserves careful attention.
No tempori7ing expedients offer such
sure relief, both immediate ard perma-
nent. as a return to the sound, peace
basis Of bullion.

SENATOR MORTON appears to regard
Pinchback, the negro claimant Of the
vacant Senatorship from Louisiana, in
a new light, and is not so eager to fra
ternise with him on terms of equality
"a he was before the holiday recess.
Morton is not now infavorof admitting
Pinchback until he clears up certain
very damaging stories touching his
character. 1t is alleged that he re-
ceived fifteen thousand dollars of money
from Norton, Register Of Bankruptcy,
to withdraw as a candidate IL favor of
Norton, but instead, used it for his
own Advancement. 1t is also charged
that he Secured members of the Legis-
Iature by paying their board and other
bills. taking their orders on the troasu-
ry for the same, but meyer presenting
them. Another charge is shat Pinch
back at one time served a term IN the
penitentiary. These are rough charges
on Morton's pet.
