BON4MY PRICES VIEWS OF OUR PAPER
MONEY!

We publish this morning the report of o
very interesting and instructive conversation
on the paper money of this country with Prof
Bonamy Price, the well knowp lecturer and
writer on Political Economy at the University
of Oxford. Prof. Price has made currency and
kindred subjects lifelong study, and has
taken an active part in the great contrOver-
sizes on those questions which have agitated
the British public in his day. His
opinions Il on - our money will be
found to be of a pretty decided cast He sees
no good in it whatever. His only remedy is
amputation. Cut off and throw away, be says,
enough of the paper to make the rest equal in
value to coin. Government having taken the
nations property under the stress of war, let
payment now be made. Ex-Secretary McCul-
loch's policy is the only one to restore the
currency to health, and his example must be
followed, unless we choose to prOlOng the
evils of a fuctuating standard of value in
definitely.
The Issue of bank notes, on pledge of q de-
post of United States bonds, as at present, is
favorably regarded by Prof. Price as a means
of protecting nOte-holders after specie pay
ments have been resumed. : Congress, being
composed OF Dody Oh pOntlclans, cannot
safely be trusted to issue paper currency. 1t
would not be responsible. Payment could not
be enforced. & There would be no penalties
for insolvency and no resort to the courts.
The ideas of the Oxford Professor are of a
kind to attract special attention at the West,
where the financial question is more holly
discussed than in New-York and New-En-
gland. They are given with freedom and
yigor which are certain to interest the reader.

Postmaster-General JEWELS order limiting
leaves of absence on pay to thirty days IN the
year, and forbidding the use of intoxicating
liquors either in OF out Of the Department dur
ing business hours, is reasonable enough.
This leaves time enough to go home to vote
and enough for a liberal vacation besides.
But if such reform were extended through
out the Departments it might sadly interfere
with the assemblages at the Summer Capital.
Rhode Island cotton and wooden manufac-
turers following in the track of the establish
ments represented at the Boston meeting, have
resolved to diminish the hours of work to A
per week. This measure is expected to reduce
production by One-third, and is to continue in
force for three months. A slight stiffening of
the market for manufactured goods already
indicates the anticipated effect OF the 'reduc-
ton.
In one of the oldest churches in America,
older than the City of New-Haven and the
State of Connecticut, the National Triennial
Council of the Congregationahsts is assembled.
The choice of place IS regarded as happy
one and the attendance is large The address
of the Rev. DR.. R. S. Storrs struck the key
note of popular interest by discussing the
interference of the recent claims of science
with those of religion. claiming that no
philosophy can supply the need Of man for
personal God.
At the session of the Episcopal Diocesan
Convention yesterday the old question of ritu-
alism was brought up indrectly.l The Society
of the Free Church of st. Mary the Virgin
applied for admission, having been refused on
previous applications because of informally
in papers of incorporation. The real cause of
refusal was understood to be the ritualistlc
principles of the church, since the informally
was merely neglect, subsequently repaired,
TO afix revenue stamps to the act Of incOrpo-
ration. The Committee reported unfavoraby
to the application yesterday, but the church
was admitted, after discussion, by close
vote.

is addressed to oil the postmasters, is the cir
cumstance that some of the bids forwarded by
those officials for the stamped con-
tract, were made or guaranteed by wholly ir-
responsible individuals, and if accepted
might have involved the Government in
heavy losses. He showers blame upon the
Postmaster of Springfield, Mass, in scorch-
ing letter, for neglecting to ascertain the facts
respecting some OF the bidders recommended
by that official. If one or two examples OF
this sort should be promptly punished, a
needed reform might be effected in that De-
partment, and perhaps be followed by similar
measures in other branches of the Govern
ment.

Since the dsgraceful failure of the Freed
mans Savings Bank the few hints as to the
condition of its affairs which are from time
to time vouchsafed are by no means re-
assuring to the unfortunate depostors. For
most evident reasons there should be every
effort to foster among the freedmen the habit
of laying aside some part of their earnings.
To such habit scarcely yet established, the
failure of the bank was sudden check.
Under these circumstances the delay in settling
its affairs works incalculable injury among
the depositing class. Even if the banks con-
dition is somewhat worse than was hoped
that being the statement Of to-day's dispatches
it is every way better that the facts as far
as known should be stated at once; since
during this delay the depositOrs preyed upon
by vague fears and their own needs, are sac
rifcing their claims by sale to INSCRIPTIONS
