Il NEW PARTY.

A Washington special says the new party
movement is at length fairly under way.
Nineteen western members of Congress
have recently adopted new platform, which
they propose as a nucleus of a new party or
ganization. This platform runs somewhat as
follows -
l. call for a constitutional convention
to effect several changes in the fundamental
laws of the United States, among which will
be (a) the election of President, Vice Presi-
dent and Senators directly by the people; %
subordipating all corporations to the national
government; (e) disalowing special provision
to any corporation; (d) adding largely to the
authority of the general government in mat
tiers affecting transportation and trades of the
country, (e) and making such banking provis-
ions as will allow the general government to
institute banks under its own authority.
g An immediate agitation for Congress and
the nation at once to the carrying out of the
scheme of the five great artificial water routes
recommended by the transportation commit
tee of the Senate
3. The constitution of at least two direct
freight railways, under the authority OF the
general government, so as to regulate the
charges on the main lines of the country.
With regard to the currency question, the
majority of those who attend are in favor of
initiation, but as yet it is not made cardinal
doctrine of the new party. They will await
the course of events.

STEADY INpROTEUENT.

The business and financial condition of
the country is of the most encouraging
character. Looking TO Washington we
find that the reduction of the public debt.
which was stopped by the panic, again
appears regularly in the monthly state
ments from the Treasury, and that with
out any addition to taxation. The struggle
over initiation having decided that the vol
ume of an irrcdeemabc currency is not
to be increased, the effect is to increase
confidence in capitalists and encourage
them to launch their money in new enter
prises. Our exchanges from the business
centres speak with confidence of the stu
alton. The New York Post, conserva-
tive and well informed paper speaks as
follows:
While there is not the activity which there
is ordinarily at this season, yet there are
gratifying indications of improvement, the
general opinion among the most intelligent
being that the tide has turned or is turning.
Where, q few weeks since, the feeling of des'
pondencywas, it is now that of encouragement,
and very reasonably SO when the situation is
carefully examined. At no time since the
outbreak of the war has the mercantile indebt-
edness Of the country been so small as now,
and at no time has prudence and economy en-
tered more largely into business and every
day life calculations. All the bubbles which
have been threatening to explode for years
have exploded. The worst has come to light,
and by being made apparent to every one has,
during the past six months, had its full effect
in causing the widespread depression which
has prevailed. People know now, so far as
overweight enterprises are concerned, ex-
actly where they stand. When they have
the same precise knowledge as to the instru-
ment of exchange, the currency, the last ele-
ment of uncertainty will be removed. The
crops are all looking favorably. With good
crops the agricultural producers will have
the means wherewith to supply their wants,
which wants, by reason of the self.denial for
months past, are larger than usual. Supply
ing these wants will enliven manufacturing
interests, and the various intermediate stages
Of trade, from the producers to the consum-
ers, will all be improved, including transport
tation interests. Our foreign trade relations
are, as for months past they have been, ex
ceptionally favorable. We have had ten
years of expansion. which took the form of
railroad building, and have had the collapse
and its effects, which so far as legitimate
trade is concerned, have been incidental, al
though severe, and now are in position where
all influences tend to recovery.

Georgia papers are still overlooking their
columns with the long letters of Alexander II.
Stevens and Ben. II. Hill, each striving to set
himself right before the Southern people as
affects his conduct during the war. Hill is
the last to be heard, and in closing he ex-
presses himself thus: 'Soon after the war
ended, the enemies of Mr.. Davis and his ad-
ministration commenced writing books, chiefly
to acQuit themselves and condemn him and his
supporters. For nine years this thing has
gone on and the press have given currency TO
this Confederate sorehead literature. All this
has delighted the enemy, and has almost I'M
dermined the good name of Mr.. Davis him
self As soon as the true story of the Con-
federate Administration begins to be written,
we hear lamentations about 'the unfortunate
controversy over the past = Is this right?
Are our enemies, internal and external, alone
to be the oracles of Confederate history? 1t
would be crime against the dead and the
cause for which they died to permit it. Shall
the discussion be stopped because those who
dread it choose to make wanton and wicked
personal issues? They can fret on. The
truth will be told. The chapter may be sad
one which tells the true reason of our failure.
But people who refuse to understand the
cause of one failure, refuse to provide the
surest means of success in the next struggle.
Then let the discussion go on. Let those who
tell the truth be believed. Let the faithless
be exposed, that their example be not repeat
ed, and let the faithful be INDICATED, that
their fame may be emulated."
