SURPRISED.


Says a Washington despatch, July Sth
A gentleman holding Government Office
which makes il his duty to make irGqucn
tours over that part ofthe United States lyinl
west of the Allcghenics, returned to the city
this morning from an extended excursion
over that section, and reports that the scntl
mcnt OF the mass of the people with regart
to Initiation has undergone most radical anC
complete change The sentiment of the pco
pie is now almost undivided in approval O
l}Outwcll's donothing policy: and the result
il Is predicted, will be the election OF a Con
grcss this fall, the great majority of whom
will be committed to that theory.
The gentlemen, the despatch adds, does moi
explain how this remarkable change has
been brought about, but is inclined to atir
butte it largely to the unanswerablc arguments
of Grants veto message and Jones memordn
dun.
The veto message and memorandum had
about as much to do with it as one of llar.
lan's editorials. The truth il, no such change
as that referred to has taken place, as there
was nothing to change. The sentiment
among the masses in the west on the question
of an inflated and deprecated paper currcD-
cy has been right all along There was a
bevy of philosophers of the Horace Day, a.
Campbell and f. NJ. Smith variety, that soon
after the panic last fall became suddenly moi.
sy and active, making speeches at po-
ltical conventions wherever they could get
hearing, delivering lectures at school
houses, and filling the papers with communi-
cations, so that Logan, Morton, Ferry and
other aspiring western demagogues got the
idea that the people of the west were running
crazy on the paper money question, and be
gan to set their sails to catch the breeze. But
when, in June, these politicians returned to
their constituents, they were not long in dis
covering their mistake and hauling in their
horns. Even Logan now denies that he is in
favor of inttation or of any measure that
looks to an indefinite postponement of specie
The only open issue on the cur.
rcncy question at the West now is, whether
our paper money shall consist of grccnbackS
mot legal tenders or national bank paper.
The republican party. a majority Of whose
in congress and in all the pub.
lie offices consists of national bank presidents,
directors or stockholders, naturally favors
The national bank monopoly, while the big dis
army of outs, the mass of the PEG.
pie prefer that the paper money of the coun-
ny shall be furnished directly by the govern
nent.

THE CURRENCY ACT.

The operation Of the so.calied "cOmprOm
| Use" currency act which congress finally pass
cd, appears to be disappointing the eXpecta
/ ii )ns of its authors Instead of expanding
the currency, it is leading 10 contraction
Thus far the application for new bank char
tiers is less than thirty, and the amount OF
currency they call for less than $3OOO,0OO;
and the comptroller estimates that at this
rate not over $J000000 will be called for
during the year. On the other hand, the Ma
tional banks are rapidly awaiting themselves
of the privilege given them by the act to re.
turn their currency and take mp their sccuri.
ties, until the maximum circulation of each
is reduced to $4,000. AS there are 1915 ma
tional banks, with an aggregate circulation
of $34S,350,000 the contraction under this
clause of the new act can reach S250,000, 900,
though it is not expected, at the present rate,
to exceed $50, 100000 for the year. But this
will greatly overcome the indirect initiation
the bill secures by releasing some $3G 900 900
that the banks have hitherto been obliged TO
hold in reserve.
The reason of this rapid return Of bank
circulation and taking up of securities is
said to be, that capitalists can make more
out of their bonds, at present prices, by hand.
ling them than by leaving them on deposit
in the treasury and attempting to loan the
currency in the present dull state Of the mon,
cy market Bank bills they say, instead OF
the bonds, will not pay until the currency
price of bonds is so far reduced that il will
pay to issue currency upon them. This will
not be reached until the notes are nearly if
not entirely at par with gold; and thus the
effect of the measure, intended to work eX-
pansion, will be to contract the circulation
until specie payment is reached by the volun
tary action ofthe banks.
This view OF the law, however, it is TO be
borne in mind, can only obtain while the
present plethora at the money Centers contin.
ucs. When business once more wakes up,
and an active demand arises for all that i'm

the capabilities of the new law in the opposite
direction will no doubt rapidly develop them
selves in manner to justify the worst appre
tensions Of those who have so carefully mca-
sured and pronounced upon the vicious, un,
safe and wildcat features OF that law

WISCONSIN RAILROAD LAW.

The important law suit argued last week
before the L. 5. District Court at Madison
Wis, Judges Davis and Drummond on the
so-called Potter railroad law, passed by the
last Wisconsin Legislature terminated on
Saturday in a decision in favor of the law
and against the Northwestern Railroad Co.
The decision turns chiefly on that clause in
the constitution o: Wisconsin that gives tue
Legislature power to alter, amend, or repeal
the charter of any railroad or other corpora
ton within the state. One important point,
however, is left undecided by this suit, and
that is, as to the effect of the Wisconsin con.
sttutonal clause and any law under it on
railroad traffic crossing the state lines. An
agreed case, involving this point, will prob.
ably be fixed up and submitted to the L. $. Su-
premG Court Tor decision along with the 9th
er points involved, at the term IN October
next
The decision is grlcyous disappointment
to the railroads. 1t net only compels them
to abide by the law in Wisconsin, but virtu-
ally sustains the validity of similar laws in
Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois. 1t has ser
ously affected the market value Of the stock
of the leading northwestern roads in the New
York market. Northwestern has fallen from
A to about 80, St Paul from 80 to 50, etc.
There is no :doubt, however, that good
will come of it. Let it once be settled that
the railroads are subject to legislative regu-
laton and not above the people and the
governments of the states, and the fight be-
tween the people and the railroads Will be at
an end. Both are dependent on each other,
and when it il settled that this dependence
can be made profitable to both only by mu-
tual concession and good will, the railroads
will find the people and the legislatures of
the west quite as liberal in granting them all
the privileges thcy.need to make their proper
~ rcmunerative as the roads can reasonably
ask Of expect.

THE LEE PKOPERTY.-A Washington spec
ial to the Chicago Tribune of yesterday stateN
that Judge Hughes, of the: l. . Distric'
Court at Richmond, gave on Thursday de-
cision decreeing the restoration to G.. w. G..
Lee, son of Gen. Robert f. Lee, of the mill
property formerly belonging to the Lee estate
on Four Mile Run, in Fairfax County. This
property was sold for taxes by the United
States to one Aero Chase during the War
Chase held it by the same title by which the
Government holds the famous Arlington
property, opposite the city, ROW used as a r&-
tional cemetery, and it would appear that the
Lee heirs have but to bring suit in electment
against the Government to secure the return
of the property to them They have hereto
fore pctitioncd Congress 10 return i, but have
received no satisfaction.
