amount of specie. that is. precious metals,
in existence, obtainable, Is not sufficient
to effect the changes to be made; they
therefore propose the issuance of paper
money, based upon, but larger in amount,
than the specie itself In determining the
amount or rather the excess Of paper over
specie, they claim to be governed by a
natural law, which though it hardly mer-
its the name, yet is semblance Of law.
They say: For each specie dollar we Will
issue four paper dollars, and claim to be
governed by law which says that in the
ordinary run Of business only one paper
dollar of four III circulation will be pre-
sented for redemption III specie at one
time. This is the law, or semblance Of
law by which specie basis men claim to
govern the amount of paper money to be
issued. Ii works, as they say themselves,
in ordinary business times, when only one
Of the four paper dollars issued Is present
ed for redemption at any one time, but IN
the case of a panic, we know that all four
of the paper dollars are presented for re-
demption at the same time, and the law
holds rot good. The law becomes no law.
Now, | ask, where is the Law by which
non-specie basis men will regulate the
amount Of paper money to be issued by
the government If there is such law
of nature, principle good under sill cir
cunIstances. and at all times, then let US
have it. Believing that you, Mr.. Cary,

70 the Editor Of TIE wof SlSeNsS ADVOCATE
DEAR SIR Please publish the following
open letter Of request for information
upon point in financed sqience. to Henry
c. Cary, Philadelnl a, ~. n.
HoNoRED SIR Being producer Of val
ue, and believing that the interests Of
producers are greatly affected, for better
OF worse, by the different financial systems
that are at different times adopted and
looking upon you as one Of, if not the
best authority upon questions Of social
science, and upon finance, as one Of the
subjects treated upon by that science
Also, believing it to be Of interest u the
readers Of the ADVOCATE and the public
in general, to hear your explanation of
and opinion upon a certain point which Is
often thrown up by specie basis men as
a nut which greenback men cannot crack.
Before proceed farther let me state that
| am no specie basis man in disguise. ! be-
heve honestly in, and will advocate and vote
for the greenback; but to believe merely,
does not satisfy me; want to know, to
understand all the laws and principles
underlying the theory. want to compre-
hend the reasons and causes for apparent
results; before deciding want to make
sure to be right in all particulars.
Yet, though all this were not 50, ques-
tion is question nevertheless, and ought
to be answered. perhaps not S" much for
the sake of the questioner as for the sake
Of the cause involved. ! will now state
the point as briefly as possible. look
upon money as an instrument, an inple-
ment of business. To my mind the main
object,in instituting money is to get me
dunn wherewith to effect exchanges. That
this medium should possess real Cintrin-
sic) value, that is. be made Of valuable
material, is not necessary; it is most prac-
tical to make it the duty Of the govern
ment to furnish its citizens with this me-
dunn. The medium is desired in order to
facilitate business transactions. By its
use the necessity for direct barter il
avoided. In order to furnish the medium
the government issues PAPER bills, known
as greenbacks. How to get this paper
money into the hands RI The people, is q
question likewise thrown up by hard
money men, which think is easily an
swered. The government requires servi
ces; let it pay for these services with the
paper money, and the latter thus gets into
the hands Of the people by being paid tc
soldiers In the field and civil officers in
the departments, for services rendered the
government. Now comes the question
that wish to get answered: How is the
amount Of paper money which the govern
uent may issue to be limited By what
natural law is this amount to be deter.
mined Is there such law Has it ever
been discovered Ii not, then it ia high
time to hunt for that law of nature. II
cannot possibly be the idea to give the
government power to issue money without
limit or restriction, to help itself when.

The Report OF the Inn
parchment Trial.

Washington, August 2. The following report
OF the impeachment trial was made to the House,
to-day, by Mr. Lord, on behalf of the managers
The managers, on the part of the House, to con-
duct the impeachment against w. w. Belknap,
late Secy of War, respectfully report that the de-
PENDANT, w. W. Belknap, has been acquitted on
the articles presented against him, less than tive
thirds of the Senators voting guilty: Inc maj
vote was g. 81 of the Senators voted guilty; 23
not guilty. for want of jurisdiction one not guilty
and one criticized portion of the articles Of i'm
parchment and stated that the ohenses charged in
others of the articles were not proven beyond
reasonable doubt. The question OF jurisdiction
raised by the plea of the defendant was the first
point presented to the court of impeachment
After a protracted and exhaustive argument the
court held that it had jurisdiction Notwithstanding
the resignation of the defendant, and the manag-
ers proceeded to prove the olenscs charged IN the
articles of impeachment. And after proving them
so conclusvely that only two Senators in any
manner questioned the guilt of the defendant,
the minority of the Senate refused to be govern
ed by the deliberate judgment of the majority that
it had jurisdiction, and in the form and mode re-
ferrcd to presented the convection OF defendant.
While exercising the power to vote mot guilty,
it was practically asserted that there was no con-
verse to the proposition, and therefore that the
Senators had no legal right to vote guilty, how
ever satisfied of the guilt Of the accused. Not
outstanding this result the managers believe
that great good will accrue from the impeach-
ment and trial of defendant. 1t has been settled
thereby that persons who have held civil office
under the United States are impeachable, and
that the Senate has jurisdiction to try them,
although years may elapse before the discovery
of the offence or offences subjecting them to i'm
peachment. To such as are or may hereafter be
among the civil officers of the United States, who
have no higher plane of integrity than the rule
that "Honesty is the best policy" and it is con-
coded that they are comparatively few, this de-
csion will be a constant warning that impeacha-
Bile offences, though not discovered for years, may
result in impeachment, conviction and public dis-
grace. To settle this principle so vitality import
ant in securing the recitude of the class OF OIL,
GERS referred to, is worth infinitely more than all
the time, labor and expense of the protracted
trial closed yesterday. The trial and Its discus
views of official accountability, and developed the
higher requirements of an advancing public SEN
