The Currency.

We Go not suppose that there is likely TO
occur any necessity for a party demonstra-
ton by the Democrats on the subject of the
currency. We can hardly think that the
Republicans will want to get up fight III
which they can win nothing and only sue
coed in dividing themselves. GRANT has in
dignantly denied the statements OF the Re-
public, OF New York, which said that he
had determined to oppose the hard'money
resump!ionists, aud meant to 80 with the
West for liberal measures. He declares that
be is unchanged. Another fight over the
matter, another bill, and another veto, will
do no good to Republicans. 1t will only
weaken their ranks.
The Democrats are in the dead minority.
and can incur no responsibility. They are
not ready.
What may be the state of affairs two years
hence, when they get power, none can tell
The condition of the currency then will u

different from the present.
But, 10 avoid sectional divisions and aver
siors, both the tariff and the currenc
should be referred to the congressional di:
tr'cts, leaving the people to decide for them

Not Practical Enough,

Our people. in public respect, have not
heretofore devoted themselves Us much TO
practical matters as they should. The
genius of the community OF Virginia was
always political, not merely in party sense.
but with reference TO government as a
science. Political economy Was always one
of the chief studies of educated men in Vir-
gnia. 1t occupied The general mind too
much. to the exclusion of other and hardly
less important matters.
Had the directors Of our public councils
been more practical than they were this State
would not now have to dcplore the bad and
vicious system of railroads, which tends to
dwarf the commerce of the State and retard
her Improvement. Had our lawmakers un-
derstood the practical considerations rcla-
tive to the best way Of promoting the COM
fort of our people and the Increase Of the
commerce and the wealth Of the State they
would not have been cheated, and the State
swindlcd by many bits Of strategy and pro-
fessionaI thimblc-rigging, by which the rigor
and prosperity of the State have been serl-
ously impaired.
We speak, indeed, Of the past but we may
too truely say that the present day displays
the effects OF early lessons. We have not
politics in their elevated and enlightened
character but we have plenty Of them,
such rs they are. People are easily drawn
out By, political di> cu:sioD, but it is eN.
cecdiugly difficult to bring them together to
consider proposition for an Improvement
that practically interests in fact every man.
Ii little office with little salary Is to be
fought over, there are Il great many aspl'
rants for it. Each Of them enlists all bis
friends, and numerous body of citizens is
brought out to decide the question Of who
shall have it, and The struggle is as earnest
as if immense consequences were inyolTed.
Invite those same people to meet to con-
slider a matter concerning their practical in.
terests, the prosperity or the health OF the
whole city, and you can hardly bring ba
| ker's dozen to the place of meeting.
We felt the force Of these truths not long
ago, when upon matter OF serious public
| concern there could hardly be brought TO-
gether small quorum of a moderate-sized
committee.
This is time unparalleled in Virginia
and more than any other demands the eXer-
else of the greatest degree Of wisdom and
forecast. All the energy aud vigilance We
can command we ought to bring into action
We have much to do of very practical ma
ture. People should endeavor to meet the
present exjgencies By making very practi
cal use of the time they have to deyot'
to public concernsl Their personal in
terests are united with those Of the State
Hers cannot be neglected without injury tc
those Of the people. No man can in thi
matter be delinquent in his public dut!
without being in default of his duty to him
self. People can best promote their OWL
welfare by doing the best for the communit.
in which they live.

The Currency Question.

From the New York Journal of Commerce.
il needs no profound wisdom to see that
resumption OF specie payment cannot be
reached in this country by any direct method
Of fore casting and providing for it by law.
If Congress upon coming together should
enact that, by any process whatever, the
grccnbacks will be redeemed in gold on the
4th OF July next all who can hold on to
them would do so, in anticipation Of their
increased value. Everybody would be a
seller and no one buyer. A few weeks of
this experience would tie up all the floating
capital, The screws would tighten upon Dor
roHers everywhere, and long before the 4th
of July was reached the outcry would be so
great that the project would be abandoned.
But, suppose that Congress enacls that on
the 4th OF Murch the greenbacks shall no
longer be 4 lcgal-tender. Everybody would
be buyer. No one would care to hoard
the money, and all kinds of produce, mer-
chandise, real estate, and other securities.
would become immediately Salable. All
classes Of industries would be stimulated to
fresh activity. Up TO and over the day
wncn the currency would lose its egal-ten-
der character, there would be such move
ment in the market, and disposition TO in
vest in property ofall kinds, that the change
in the legal relations OF this currency would
hardly shock the prevalent prosperity. For
all maturing Indebtedness the paper, or
check Oh the bank representing it, would be
taken as before. Precisely rs the business of
the country has often been done during
bauE-Su,penson, so would it be after tue
date was reached.
People wonld be dealing in deprecated
currency, but that never brings panic or
creates depression in trade. The crisis
is al ways past when the banks suspend, for
the pressure is then relieved, the screws are
relaxed and the struggle is over.
The standard will then be specie, and the
circulating medium a deprecated currency.
This first step towards resumption will in-
volve no pressure, but, on the contrary. will
insure against it, and the remaining steps,
being wholly voluntary, will be easy and
natural.
Provision should, Of course, be made to
fund the greenbackS, when offered for this
purpose, in Government bond bearing say
3.65 per cent. interest. The banks might be
permitted for awhile to redeem their issues in
either the grecnbIcks or the bonds thus is
sued.
An extension of the banking system
would be natural sequence OF this change.
Under proper restrictions we would have
this as free as the model system of New
York, the issues based only on Government
bonds, and rcdccmable at par in Boston,
New York, or Philadelphia, at the expense
OF the institutions they represent.
If Government will lift its hand from the
industries Of the country and no longer force
lis promises into circulation at par, and will
thus leave gold to be the nominal as it is
always the real standard of payment, the
people will soon, in their own way, and the
best way, find solution of the question of
resumption. They have done it many times
heretofore, and are longing for the day when
they can be left without coercion to try it
again.

the fate of al! wsr.parlies in civil strits-We
are rra,,tied to know that the party up
no.ed TO it is composed Of solid natefla''
and is based upon seiid foundations.
We must remember that those unconciisa'
,orr. fiery old Democrats of anti.war fame,
who flourisbed and curled just after the
war 50 yaunliusIy, have by lapse OF time
PASSED eff the stage OF active politics. SO
that they no longer Weld power That mas
The slightest chance Of controlling the coun-

turned rentgadcs, much to the relief OF Inc
party thcy left, and not to the advantage OF
that hich they have joined. Indeed, tney
can probably best help the Opposition by
going over to the party in power.
There is, in short, no ground to fear Bour'
bonism. 1t is ut rest. Younger ana more
practical men have sprung into the arena,
and will take the lead and shape policy. iDe
old Democratic party has large aecessions OF
tho best men in the country, who have gone
10 their aid with the best motives and the
most patriotic impulses. The old bucket has
been thoroughly rehooped, and will long
supply good people with the purest water.
Therefore the leaders and the great body
Of the party which has broken the charm Oh
Radical power ard rescued the land from
its outrages and terrors are suited to these
times. They will be practical. Their plat
form will suit the day. 1t will accept the
new constitutional construction settled by
var. 1t will not cXpatiate upon the reso-
Iutions of '9S and 80, but will assert the
federatiye theory of central government
for the nation, and local authorities in the
States for the local peace, and order, and
safety. The platform will acquiesce in the
true federal idea of States and nation, so

this keystone, and proclaimins the rights
of the people TO good government, honest
administration, equal benefits. and equal
burthenS, for all, the powerful party now
fighting to rescue the nation from misgo-
vernment will certainly triumph.
Besides the influences Of time and expe'
rence in raising up men to defend the na-
ton, its rights and freedom, there is time
afforded for calm reflection and prepara-
ton which cannot fail 10 relieve the victo-
rious party of any dangerous impulslveneSs,
and give it the benefit Of sober and matulred
judgment.
We have no apprehensions. The time has
indeed come. The Government must be
changed. 1t must SO back to genuine re-
pu5icanism, or it must go over preripi-
lately to arbitrary power. GRANT must leave
the White House in '7G, or must become the
CESAR of the third term by force or some
thing akin to it. But he will leave, and peo-
pie will forget the rancorS of war By expel-
ing the party that has kept them alive.
