OF legal tenders which would be unlocked

currency. This initiation, however, Is for the
present moro than counteracted by the with
drawal Of greenbacks equal to eighty per cent
OF the amount Of the new issues of bank
notes and by the surrender of circulation.
which ooerates rs an immediate reduc-
ton of tho volume Of the currency.
Whether the eject of the present de-
pressed state OF trade, in conjunction
with the last two currency experiments, will
DO TO produce initiation or contraction, it
may be difficult to fOreteIl, but as TO tho
correctness of Secretary Brstows interprcta-
ton of the provision quoted above, there
can be no dispute. To-day the legal tender
circulation will be reported at S380,GJOOo.
The language Of the act is quite as plain as
that which ordains tho Sinking Fund, and wo
rejoice to see Secretary of the Treasury
Obeying laws as he finds them in the statute
books, without originating any amendments
from his inner consciousness, after the fashion
set by Mr.. Boutwell,.
New-York tribune., 1875-03-09

But at tho same time the admirable invention
of Gutenberg has enabled public men to ex-
press their sentiments in critical times with
ont any undue strain upon the larynx. The
Republican party never occupied moro criti-
cal positop than to-day. 1t stands in dan
GER. not only of defeat, but of something far
worse. discredt. If it is to survive with "tbo
"promise OF q safe, honorable and useful
Culture" no time is to be lost III convincing
the voters of this country that they may
vote for it without voting Tor Grantism,
and all that goes by that name. The timo for
sensitiveness and reticence on tins subject has
gone bv. If the better kind OF Republicans
ara determined to hold their tongues and al
low the Democrats to cay, " vote against Ills
"is vote for Grant, and allow the post
masters and tide-waters to say, "a vote
"ooainst Grant is q vote for the rebellon"-
and then let voters choose their path out OF
this dilemma, they need not be surprised at
the result. The party must unload; there is
no helm for il. II cannot carry Gen. Grant
and his illegal caprices through another cam
naipn. We do not accuse him Of any set
purpose to do wrong; when he does good
act, like the vetoing, of Logan's Bounty bill,
which was meant to help him as much as
Logan we are glad to notice and applaud it.
But enough people have now made up their
minds that he is an unsafe guido to follow,
an unsafe ruler to trust with unusual powers
to defeat any ticket which carries him. 1t is
absolutely necessary for the Republican party
TO cease to take care of him. The opportunity
at this moment is an excellent one. The New
Hampshire Convention declared against the
third term, and the President has therefore
declined, as we are told, to carry their cleo
ton for them. No better chance could there
fore offer for tho genuine Republicans to do
their best to rescue the party from that asso-
citation which has been 80 unfortunate. If
the best men in the party, men like
Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Phelps, Mr.. Foster,
even Mr.. Schurz, Mr.. Evarts and SEN
ator Trumbull, had gone into New
Hampshire and declared from the stump the
true principles of the Republican party, and
its emancipation from Grantism according to
the Hampshire platform, it would have
made campaign so brilliant and so inspiring
that the success or defeat of the local ticket
would be matter of little importance COM
pared with "the promise of a safe, honorable,
land useful future" which such action would
insure to the Republican party.
New-York tribune., 1875-03-09
PAYING OFF THE PUBLIC DEBT.

The report comes from Washington that
Secretary Brstow will this week call in for
redemntion, Oh account Of the Sinking Fund,
thirty million dollars in six per cent bonds.
The bonds will fall due about the middle OF
June. We strongly suspect that on Or before
the maturity of the bonds an arran cement
will be made with the Syndicate for the sale
of an equivalent amount of five per cent bonds
"to enable the Secretary OF the Treasury to
"prepare and provide for the redemption"
of legal-tender notes and fractional currency
under the authority granted III tie Free
Banking act which was signed by the Presi-
dent in January last. If this suppOsltion shall
prove to be correct, the operation VIII not
have the effect to decrease the Public Debt Il
single dollar, or to increase the stock OF the
precious metals within the reach OF CONNER
cial men. The effect will be precisely that OF
any other funding operation. The interest on
thirty millions of the Public Debt Will BE-
diminished one per cent. and we shall have
made one more move in the tedious business
Of replacing our six per cent bonds with tives
But whether the Public Debt is to be ac-
tually reduced and the stock Of gold il ,he
Treasury dispersed, or whether the Sinking
Fund contribution is to be nulliiied in the
way we have supposed, is a question III re-
gard to which the public should not be left
in doubt. The operations OF the Treasury
must not be conducted so as to play into the
hands of spectators. 1t is of the highest i'm
portance to everybody connected with trade
to know whether or not thirty millions
in gold are to be added to the stock in the
market between now and next July. If, IN
addition to the usual IMPORTS from foreign
countries, We are to be called on next Sum
mer to pay for thirty millions of bouls, we
arc entitled to notice in advance. 1t will not
be fair play to induce the mercantile public
to regulate their business in anticipation Of an
extraordinary disbursement three months hence
of thirty millions in gold, and then, when the
time comes, to dodge round a corner and
avoid paying out the gold by giving five per
cent bonds instead.
If there Is any intention in the mind of
Secretary Blstow OF of the President to get the
Treasury III shape for resumption in 1879, it
cannot be possible that they seriously intend
to disbursc thirty millions i'll redemption of the
Public Debt next June. In the seventeen
months from October 1, 1873, TO March I, 1875,
the net decrease of the Public Debt has
been only $l,31,009, and in October, 1873,
the Treasury was thought TO be 50 weak
by the President and Mr. Richardson
that they commenced the issue Of legal ton
Ger notes from their socalled reserven to
meet the current expenses of the Government.
We give the President and tho Secretary Of
the Treasury credit for a sincere desire to
carry out the pledge of resumption in 1879,
and We therefore feel confident that the
disbursement Of thirty millions for the Sink
ing Fund, which the law indeed requires will
be counteractcd by borrowing an equal
amount under the provisions of tho act of
January ID, 1915.

When we como to review the policy of the
Congress which has just expired it docs not
seem to differ materially from the principles
of government professed by the Roman Em =
perors in the decline of their power. Degen-
eratc Caesars thought it enough to keep the
popuace fed and amused, while the wearers
of the purple ruled and rioted; and one can
almost believe that the leading statesmen at
Washington this Winter imagined they heard
the old cry Of Panem ct circeESes,
and that the whole art of legislation con-
sisted in satisfying the demand. Confronted
by tremendous political change in the North.
thfy could think of no measure to restore
their fallen popularity except the gratuitous
distribution of two or three hundred millions
of dollars among the voters in the guise OF
"bounty bill" Menaced with loss of a
mart of their cOl0red supporters in the South,
they called upon the War Department for
hogsheads of army bacon to give away in the
districts endangered by an overflow of Con-
scrvatsn, and then they promised all the ne
croes good seats at the theaters and free adj
mission to the best bar-rooms. What could
statesmen do mOref
feated by the President. The Bar-RoOm bill
has become law, and the country is watch
ing with curiosity that is half amusement
and half disgust to see what it will do for
the negro. There is little left in it which has
any practical value. Whatever Congress could
lawfully do to secure for the freedmen the
blessings of education and the privileges of
citizcnship,-that it should have been the
task of the Republican party to insist upon.
and all wise men would have applauded the
work. But for this scheme no person Of
sense can entertain sympathy or respect

,JCDGFS FOR CONGRESS-

The Democrats and Liberals in Connecticut
having nominated two Judges of the Supreme
Court for Congress against Messrs. Kellogg
and Starkweather, the Administration organs
are protesting with great vehemence against
the inpropueiy of such proceedings. They
say the spectacle of Judges of the Supreme
Court as candidates for political Office is very
revolving, and they call upon the people with
much earnestness to rebnke it at the polls.
They unite in saying that the very least these
judicial gentlemen can do is to resign their
positions on the bench pending the Congress
sional election. decent regard for appear
ances, they urge, must compel them to this
course, and they seem surprised and even
shocked that neither of the gentlemen takes that
view of it. Both Mr.. Kellogg and Mr.. Stark
weather, we presume share in this feeling of
modification and shame at the degradation of
tho bench. That a Judge of the Supreme
Court shoud step down from the bench to
be a candidate for Congress is inexprcssiby
shocking to them. For they know what it
means to be in active politics; they know
whether OF not o judge can be candidate
for Congress without soiing the ermine,n
as they call 1t. or being guilty Of conduct un-

New-York tribune., 1875-03-09

An agreement has at last been made between
the members of the Right Center and the Re
publcans for a new ministry in France. III 1t
can be said that there is still monarchical
element among the former, that element pre-
dominates in the Cabinet. Tho best Offices
are mon0poizcd by these eleventh hour con-
vcrts to Rcpublicanism. The only Republicans
from principle are M. Dufauro and NJ. Leon
Say. who belong to the most conservative Sec
ton of their party. The War Department IS
to be under the charge of Gen. de Cisscy, who
hitherto has been ready instrument IN the
hands OF the MOnarchiSts. The Duke Decazes,
who was little better than the Duke de Broglic,
so far as domestic policy is concerned, is to
retain charge of the Foreign OGice. N. Buffet,
the Or!eanist President Of the Assembly, is to be
Vice-Presilent of the Council. Bat the greatest
concession which the Republicans have made
is that the Duke GAudi1ret-PasQuier shall be
Minister of the Interior. The post is one
which, more than any other, stamps the entire
ministry with the impress of its occupants
political opinions. The Duke dAudiilret-
Pasquer led those OTleanists who refused to
follow the Duke de BrOglic's senseless attacks
on the Republic. He simply adheres to the
new order of affairs as q matter of expedi-
ency; and it can hardly be expected that he
will pursue a very liberal course ii his deal
ings with journals or popular demonstrations
of an advanced republican character. Still
the departure from the former condition is ali
important one, and we ought TO be duly
thankful.

We give elsewhere what may be taken as
the Vice Presidents defense of his action in
signing the Bounty bill, and of the much
moro indefensibe course he pursued in warmly
espousing it. The signature seems to have
been an act vindicated by high parliamentary
authority; but the support of the bill is not
creditable to the Vice President. We look for
better things from him than from roaring
demagogue like Logan. Everybody in these
days is anxious to think well and to speak
well of him, and it is a real grief to find him
on one subject taking a course which permits
neither.

The gale OF yesterday RAJ the pre-
cursor Of q rain and snow storm. which
set in some time during last night. The
wind continued blowing with undated.
or rather increased. fury during the en-.
tire night. and at about 2 o'clock this
morning a gust came along which upset
three partially completed houses in the
burnt district OF Virginia and q brick
wall that had withstoOd the fury OF pre-
vious storms.
Que house which was blown over was
on Il, another OF c, and the third on ID
street. The first. which stood OF the
west side OF the street, near Sutton
avenue. belonged to Mr.. Townsend. It
was a two.story building. 20132 feet,
with a wing lGx25 feet. adjoining on
tho north side, the whole being nearly
completed. Tho lower story Of the
main building was occupied by knight

the south side, and was therefore ut the
mercy OF the gale. which struck II with
such force ~ to move IL bodily about
three feet TO the north. Mr.. Townsend
is 10 discouraged by his misfortune that
he declares his intention OF piling up
the lumber and waiting until next Spring
before again attempting to rebuild.

him and the wall. would without doubt.

caught in the ruins and held fast until
released by his friends in the morning.
The only injury he sustained was n
severe bruise ON the left shoulder.
