EX.SrCRETARY MCCuLLoCm on THE Fl.
NANcEs-Mr. McCullochs letter on the
financial position and duties Of the coun-
try Is able, lucid and sound in its main
views. He says that none but bankrupt
nations, with the exception Of the United
States, keep in circulation an irrodcom
able urTency--a currency which, in their
case, tends to produce ana perpctuatc
the poverty it indicates, Here the dis.
credit is wholly unnecessary Tor it is be
lieved that the specie standard might
$ have been restored before this it that
+ great power ia the land, the press
S had given the doctrns euuuciated from
o the treasury department from 1865 tC
c 1869 the hearty Endorsement it has giver
It to similar doctrines when proclaimed by
the President in 1874. lie hopes that
l. the result of the panic will be to lead to
l. such correct appreciation OF real money
as will lead to its restoration lis plan
II for redemption does not differ in its i'm

ber 1876, as the time after which Unite,
IS States notes should cease to be lega
l tender he would retire at least fit
It million dollars Of Uuited States notes pc
t. aunum until it should be retired, and pro
b hibit their reissue he would issue al
