FREE BANKING BILL,

The text of the free banking bill intro
duced into the Senate by Mr.. Sherman
yesterday, as substitute for the House
bill, is printed in full elsewhere in these
columns. 1t provides first for the release
of national bank reserves now held as Sc
curity for circulation, and which is COM
posed of legal-tender notes Of the United
States, which will, in effect, add to the
present circulating medium some sixty
millions. 1t also provides for the repeal
of the limit of national bank issues, and
the retiracy OF fifty millions of legal tend
ers for every one hundred millions of
additional issue of national bank notes I'M
til the present maximum of $685.. 0OO, 900
Of legal tenders is reduced to $500, 900, 900.
This will leave the aggregate circulation at
this point at $S1s. 600. 900, against the pres
ept volume of 1886, OOO.O 900. But the latter
amount is now reduced to about 5000. 0OO,
600 by the reserves at present required to
be held by the national banks.
In lieu of the present reserve the Sher-
man bill requires the banks to continue TO
hold their present reserves for the security
of deposits only at home, in their own
vaults, in lawful money, aportion of which
will be one fourth of the coin interest re-
ccived by them upon their bonds deposited
in the Treasury for the security of their
circulating notes, and an amount in lawful
money equal to five per cent. Of their circu-
lation on deposit with the United States
Treasurer as redemption fund for their
circulation, which is made redeemable at
the Treasury and attheir own counters only.
From this it appears that when the national
bank circulation shall have been increased
to five hundred and eighteen millions, and
the legal tender circulation diminished to
three hundred millions, the lawful money
reserves and the deposits in the Treasury
for redemption will amount to about one
hundred million dollars, leaving the actual
volume of circulating medium provided for
under this bill at about seven hundred and
eighteen millions, or fully one hundred
millions in excess of the present volume Of
currency in actual circulation.
The bill also provides for redemption of
notes in coin, or ten-year five
per cent. gold bearing bonds, at the option
of the Secretary of the Treasury, after JAN
uary 1, 1877, provided that such issue of
bonds does not add anything to the public
debt of the United States. !

THE New York Herald calls public attention
to the existence of the African slave trade, and
urges the Government to take immediate and
effective steps to suppress it. 1t says: 1.-THE
nation that is directly responsible for the slave
trade, as piled at present, is the Portuguese.
They have organized system of piracy which
might do honor to savages, but which throws
the mantle Of shame over every neighboring
people. They are ready to take any risks, to
resort to any measure, and to sell in any mar
ket. This whole infamous problem of slavery,
with its cruelty, its chains, and its slow muir
der, has been laid bare by the enterprise and
the daring of David Livingstone. Our
present efforts are unequal to the task. We
have stationed on the West and East coasts
neither vessels nor men enough to make 1t dan
gerous for q SLAYER to come to anchor. We
should go at the work in stern earnest, and the
result would be not only the eTectual breaking
up of disgraceful system of wholesale rob-
berry, but better feeling among the people
who were engaged in SO honorable an enter
prise" The existence of this infamous traffic
is blot upon the century and disgrace to the
Christian nations of the whole world. Our
own government has, It is true, united with
other countries in an endeavor to suppress It,
but, as the Herald says, the effort is unequal
to the task. The Administration could engage
in no nobler work. The Republican party
should make its anti-slayery record complete
by making, or helping to make, the black man
free the world over.

pose 30 to do This little fellow has the
instinct Of servility. The NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN, for reasons which are entirely
impersonal, has become engaged in aquarrel
with the unnaturalized editor of the New
York Times. His ''whiffet' in Washing
ton naturally takes up his fight because,
we suppose, his bread and butter are at
stake. This explanation is necessary, in
order that the animus of dispatch in the
New York Times yesterday from this city
may be thoroughly understood. The little
servitor correspondent ofthe Times charges
in connection with the Metropolis Paving
Company, that the proprietor OF THE Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN did not pay his assess
ment upon the stock-that it was given to
him. Now, let US take the sworn testimony
as printed in our columns and in the official
report yesterday:
Q. How much stock did MIR. Murtagh
havef A. twenty-five shares.
Q. What did his stock cost him? A.
The same; twenty per cent.
2. Wasth result of his operation exactly
the same as these other gentlemen? A. No,
Sir; he was one of the original stockholders
at the time of that distribution.
Q. Has he transferred his stock? A. Yes,
sir
This matter of the Metropolis Paving
Company was investigated by the Stark
weather committee. The proprietor of this
journal being upon the stand testified in
reference to it as follows:
@. Do you belong to any paving COM
pany? A. think have 81, 500 of Me-
tropolis paving stock that l bought a year
or more ago.
g. Q. Has this Metropolis Paving Company
any contracts with the city government?
A. do not think it has. 1 think Mr..
Clephane is secretary of that company, and
l am under the impression that they have
not any contracts for paving. l have never
asked any questions about it. The stock
practically passed out Of my hands long
ago.
This testimony was given in February,
1872, more than two years ago, and the
stock was transferred before the new gov
eminent came into active operation. We
have no desire whatever to make any de-
fence of the affair, because it needs no de-
fence, and we quote the testimony taken
during the present investigation and the in
yestigation two years ago to show the pub
lie to what depth of meanness the unnat-
uralized editor of the Times can descend,
and to give some insight into the character
of the venomous little lackey, Colburn, who
acts as one of his correspondents in this
CITY.

THE twenty-frst anniversary of the
Young Mems Christian Association, held
at Lincoln hall last night, was marked as
well as merited success. The large attend
ance on the part of the prominent citizens
was q noticeable feature of the meeting.
The association has reason TO congratulate
