100000 in legal tenders was effected from
June 80, 1866, to Nov. 1, 1857, but this also
was followed by six years of great prosperity
and could not have caused the subsequent dis
aster.
3. This contraction was partially counter
acted by increased issues of fractional cur
rency, and, as we shall see, OF bank notes,
but the currency has never since been as small
in volume as it was at the end OF 1857, about
six years before the panic.
A. In November, 1874, the currency was larger
than Il was in June, 1866. Since that time
there has been contraction of $12,665,396
in legal tenders, caused by the issue OF about
SIG, 900, 900 in new bank notes There mas
also been a redemption of fractional currency
which is not contraction, but substitution
of good silver for poor paper.
Next, we add the bank circulation, COPYING
NJ before, the table given in the Controllers
report, and adding the circulation In 1860
and 1876. The precise circulation OF the
banks June 80, 1865, is not officially stated,
but it was larger in October, and the Official
figures for Oct. /, 1865, are here used:

TINE OpENIYG or AFRICA.

Our last foreign mails bring accounts of the
organization of the Congress OF GcoSraphers at
B,,Isscls. on The 18th inst. This promises to
he one of the most interesting and important
conferences of the kind which has been held
for several years past. The "African Con-
" grcss," as some of the English journals call
it, was conyoked by King Leopold II. of Bel
GUM, for the special purpose OF agreeing upon,
and setting in action, plan OF African eXpl0ra-
ton which may suffice to complete our knoWl-
edge of the interior of the continent The
most distinguished travellers and geographers
of Europe were personally invited by the
King. and among those in attendance were
Cameron, Grant RawlnsOn, Bartle Frere, and
Alcock of England; Lesseps and Admiral de
In RonciGre of France Rohlfs, Nachtigal, and
Schwenfurth of Germany; Iocbstctter and
Count Itchy of Austria, and Ncgri and Cor
remit of Italy. Such distinguished company
of explorers never before met together.
On the assembling of the Congress at the
Palace in Brussels, the inaugural address was
made by the King, who declared that the open
ing to civilization Of the sole portion of the
globe where it has not yet penetrated was a
crusade worthy of this age of progress, and he
in favor of the work. After explaining that
Belgium, on account of its neutral character
as nation offered the most favorable position
for an organization which must necessarily
combine the intelligence and enterprise of
Europe, he set forth the questions to be con-
sidered, as follows Il. The careful selection
of bases of operation, to be established on the
coast of Zanzibar and near the mouth of the
Congo, either by purchase or treaty with the
native rulers. 2. The designation of routes to
be successfully opened into the INTERIOR in
connection with stations of relief and supply,
the latter TO be also established both in
the interests of science and of humanity,
in promoting friendly intercourse with the
native tribes. g. The formation of an Inter
national Central Committee to superintend the
execution of the plan, after it shall have been
definitely fixed, and of separate National Com
mitees to present il to the people OF their several
countries, and procure contributions The last
reports from the conference state that the first
discussed. and accepted by large number of
the members
The boundaries OF the unexplored region of
Central Africa have been greatly contracted
within the past 20 years. Livingstone has
opened TO our knowledge q section across the
continent, covering ten degrees Of latitude in
breadth, while Burton, Spoke, and Baker have
at least ascortained the chief geographical
features of a region extending ten degrees of
longitude inland from the eastern coast and
stretching from GO 5. to % N latitude. But

there still remains large region, between the
meridian of Lakes Albert and Tanganylka and
the Atlantic seaboard, into which only few
detached incursions have been made. Broadly
stated it covers 20 degrees of latitude and about
Is of longitude, containing 100000 square
miles. There is no evidence, nor much likelihood,
that any powerful native nation exists in all this
region. Schweinfurth and Miami, who pene-
trated furtbest into it from the northeast
found only pigmy savages living on jungied
table-lands, and Du Chaillu, from the west,
reached similar condition of barbarism. The
chief difficulties of exploration are probably of
a physical character, and the establishment OF
supply stations at distance from the coast
would therefore greatly facilitate the work.
The plan is simple and apparently feasible,
provided no trouble arise from the association
of so many different nationalities. We may
certainly accept it as the beginning OF q task
which is sure, in one way or another, to be ae-
complished before many years.

ing an old. great, and desirable party as to
render its final abandonment unnecessary. A

The retirement of bank circulation since
1874, amounting TO $2S, 100000. has been by
voluntary surrender under the Free Banking
"act,n so DANGEROUSLY demanded by the West,
which permits the banks to increase or sur
render circulation ut pleasure. But, In spite OF
that voluntary surrender, caused by no party,
hut by the wants of trade" the volume of
currency is still larger by nearly $l4,OOO,CJO
than it was in 1866, and larger than 1T was III
either of the FIVE years following, during which
the country was prosperous.
Where do the Democrats find their false
boods7 We propose to explain, so that any
reader can expose them at sight. Every state
meat showing larger volume OF currency than
the figures here given for the dates named Is
false in that it includes or the other or all
of many forms of Understanding obligations
issued by the Government during the war, and
paid or funded in bonds after the war closed
These interest bearing notes did not circulate
freely as currency, because they bore interest,
and were receivable only for the face OF the
note trithoat interest, so that every holder lost
the accrued interest by passing, and gained itby
holding them. Thus the compound interest
notes, maturing in 1867 and 1868, were is
sued under the act of March 9, 1858, which
provided: :" And said Treasury notes may be
"made a. legal tender TO the same extent as
" United States notes. for their face rdiue er-
" cludiag Interest," This and similar provisions
in acts authorizing other issues OF this ma
ture, were intended to prevent the free circu-
lation of tkeSe notes as an addition to the
currency, by making it more profitable To hoid
them. As matter of fact, the legal power to
use them as q legal tender at their face value
was rarely exercised, because it could be eX-
erciSed only at loss. In technical sense,
aIl commercial notes bearing interest are
currency, but in political discussion when
an honest man speaks OF the volume
of currency, he does not include ms
neighbor's 9O-day note, nor the interest-bear-
ing obligations of the Government. For inter
est-bearing notes viii not pass freely from
hand TO hand at their face value, and have not
the same effect upon prices, trade or industry,
rs the notes freely used as legal tenders, and
commonly regarded as currency. Every state
mcnt of the volume Of currency, which exceeds
for any date the figures above given, includes
some form OF interest bearing obligations,
which did not in fact circulate freely as cur
rency, which could be used ~ a legal tender
only at their face value and therefore only at
q loss, and which are not more properly
called part of the circulation than Government
bonds or commercial notes.
