A curious confession Of distrnst Of the
Confederate majority Of tho House Ia mnda
by tho Committee on Wnys and Menus, which
l,as decided TO report convenient resolution
that both Houses shall adjourn next Montlny.
The resolution, however, will not ba submit
ted to the House nntil Friday Of this week,
for tho reason, as admitted by Mr. MORRISON,
that the adoption Of tho resolution wonld
open the door to tho allowance of somo
$a00, 200, 300 Of Southern claims, which, un.
der the suspension of the rules tllat obtains
during tho last ten days Of q session, could
bo pushed through by bare majority vote.
That these claims would bo pushed through
IN this manner no ono doubts, ,-1cnst Of all
tho more cautious and prudent leaders, who
we'll know tho temper Of the Confederates
and thoir Northern allies, and who have
taken this precaution to prevent the making
record which would lose to the Democracy
tho electoral vote Of overy Northorn State.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 2 1876.

cmn pledge that theao warrants shall DO ro-
doomed ont Of tho first moneys collected
from tho ta1-1evy Of 1876. II persons hav-
ing idle money will not advance 1t nj 3 pcr
cent interest on auch security rs this, then It
will indeed become necessary to abandon the
City Government
The Comptroller anl Finance Committee
arc considerably encouraged, wo understand,
TINT they will now bo nblo 10 pay OF the dis
charged employees and begin making reduc-
uons on the amounts duo those who remain
In tho employ of tho city. 1t IL expected
that certain capitalists will advance $780,
GOO on Trcasury-warrants by next Saturday,
aud this sum, along with that which Inns al-
ready beon realized from previous salos, will
10 sufficient to pay off in full oil tho dis
charged employees, md cancel tho entire pay-
roll for April. II the entiro million nutlor-
iaed so far shnll be promptly taken, IL will
onablo the payment Of MI employees up to
July l, II not longer, md a considerable ro-
lief will th,is bo afforded to largo class Of
poople who hayo boon actually suffering
for want Of money due them from tho city.

not bo less important. Unless specie Ia a1b-
Rtitu!cd for tho Ruperhuous mud intrinsicalfy
valneless grcenback, VIC must expect To 900 tho
inevitable ciroto Of cntlso and cf1oet completed
in onr in0ntod currency. Tho present stag
nation will bo succeeded by general move
mont 10 invest the paper III something that
has value, and we will ngnin DO afloaA on
tho hootl.tide Of rising prices nnd gny
titncs. But tho glow wilt be tia glow
of fovar, TIE prosperity the hollow mockory
Of speculation, and tho end another crash.
1t must not bo oxpectod that tho retirement
of bank circulation will prevent this. The
banks aro notorious1y selling their bonds be-
cause they aro high, NOT to got rid Of circu-
laton. Aud, although S48, ,453,G GAL ia large
sum to Withdraw, 1t took two yoars to do 1t,
nnd evidently that II not o remedial process
rnpid enough to atfoct tho swollen volume Of
our irrcdeemab1o currency. Some other
means must bo used for tint purpose. What
1t is we have indicated above md elsewhere,
and wo regard 1t as the preoaution TINT alone
will savo tho country from another panic.

There aro encouraging Republican reports
from all pnrss OF North Carolina. Tho party
never was better united. The nomination Of
Judge SETTLE for Governor is a very strong
ONO, and it il claimed that, In addition to the
colorod vote, he will poll more white votes
than any Republican eanilidato haa done
sinco 1868. Tho highest vote tho Confed-
crates ever cast was %, ,217, in 1874; and
tho highest yote Of the Republicans at o
State election WIS for Governor in 1872
viz. o8,os0. Tho Republicans now claim
that they will poll this fall 1o5,0oo; and il
they do they will carry the State. Tho Re.

elect three, tho same as they did four years

Judge BANGS WINS examined yesterday bo-
forc tho Committee on tho Whisky proso-
cutions. An attcn.nt WAS made in the cross-
examination by Mr. PLA1sTEp, OF Maine, q
Republican momher Of tho Committee, to
fasten upon ox-Secretary Dn1sTow tho TO-
sponsbility for the immunity granted to tho
Chicago squcalcrB, more especially in tho
caso Of l!EnM, but tho attempt notably
failed, it appearing TINT tho question
OF immunity was left entirely to
the discretion Of Government counsel
md tho Court. Equally unsuccessful
was the effort Of the gentleman from Maine
to show that the whisky prosecutions were
manipulated In tho interest Of Mr.. Da1sTowa
nomination at Cincinnati. One thing, how
ever, was quito clearly established by Judge
DASas' testimony, viz: that In purchasing
KINKS evidence the Government counsel
paid high price for an utterly worthless
article.

SHALL WE HAVE ANOTHER PANIC


The movement Of tho banks to reduce
their circulation continues. Tnr Tn1nuNE
recently gave statement BY tho Comptroller
Of tho Currency showing that between tho
passage Of tho oct Of juno 90, 1874, anl
July last, tho large amount Of S4B, 453, GIL
of circulation has boon retired. Tho galo Of
bonds by tho banks aud tho dopositing Of
grocnbncka with the Treasury to redeem Ma
tional Bank notes goes on, and IL making
large inroad Oh tho currency Of the country.
No scarcity OF currency is felt as result.
Millions Of dollars OF greonbacks in
oxccas Of tho reserves required by
law are hcaped up In bank vaults In
Chicago and in other financial coutrcs in
tho country. Not only Is capital acoumulat-
ing in Chicago, New York, Boston, and other
cities, SO Tint tho financial columns of
tho parers arc filed with complaints Of
"tho surplus Of loauablo funds," but money
ourronoy-is being piled up al we'll. When
tho logal-teudors woro sent flying through
the air, in tho second year Of the War, their
effect was TO raise tue prices Of commodities
ono after another. This was Initiation. But
tho imitation, as imitation usually docs, burst.
We Ind tho panio, aud tho succeeding, and
not yet ended, hn lncia1 crisis. Prices began
to fall, aud have boon declining steadily over
since. An interesting fact OF currency Ia
that inaations, onco resortea 10, = oduce a
regular series Of speculation, rise in prices,

tai, aud then recurrence Of the same
series from speculation to another break

THE PAY OF CITY EMPLOYEES,

We aro informed that nil tho money duo
city employees for services rendered prior to
Arril /, vhen the now fiscal year began, has
been pail over out Of the tax-colloctions of
tho year 1873. Having done this, tho CITY
Government has no 0uthority to uso tho
money now in tho City Treasury which l.as
been received from tho otax~eollections OF 1879
for tho payment Of services rendered or
claims accruing within tho appropriations for
tho current fiscal ycar. This will cxplMn tho
npparcnt injustice Of allowing tho employees
to wait for money actually due thom whilo
tlore aro funds in tho City Treasury. Tho
officers Of tho city aro Inhibited from using
tho tax-colloctions OF previous yeara for the
expenses Of the current year, so long as debta
remain from, proyious ycars, az the Circuit
Court, In defining the .charaotor of the city
certificates, held TINT thcy wero payable out
Of tho tax-leyy Of the year in which they wero
issued. 1Iaying paid tho employees firut
rs far as there was authority, and
up to the end of thu last fiscal year,
tho only lawful disposition OF tho
money now in tho City Treasury and coming
from, tho County Treasurer ia to apply It on
a reduction Of the outstanding indebtedness
in its yariouB forms, viz. Money due OH
old contracts, money due to tho several
special funds, from which 1t should. nevor
have boen borrowed, md money due on the
outstanding certificates Of indebtedness.

BELHNAp's HARROW ESCAPE.

Tho result Of the Bz1KNAr impeachment
trial ia not different from what has beon ex-
pected for some time. It hns boen evident
for several days TINT the senators who origi-
nnlly voted that there was no jurisdiction in
his case (Bince he had voluntarily abandoned
tho position from which conviction by i'm
rcachmont wonld have removed hiin) would,
Oh the Same ground, rofuse to voto for his
conviction, md that thus there would not DO
two-thirds vote to convict him. It was q
nice question Of uoral right and wrong for
ench Senator to determine for himself. Juris-
dicsion was assorted by moro majority vote
but it required two-thirtls to convict. Twcn-
ty.thrco Of the Senators voting against con-
siction explained that they did so because
they bclioyod they had no right to convict
since tie Senate had no jurisdiction in tho
case. Ono Of thom-EAToN Of Connecticut
-is Domocrnt, and lo wns tho only Demo-
crnt who seomed to be restrained by this
delicate question. Only two Senators ont Of
tho enti1o sixty voting Of Florida
aud WRIGHT of Iowa-voted to acquit him
because they beloved the charges had not
been sustained While, therefore, tho voto
is recorded as S. in favor Of conviction md
25 against, it stands really Is to on the
question Of his guilt. and he comos out Of
tho trinl as thoroughly disgraced rs il no
question Of jurisdiction had bson raised.
The only ponaltioa attached to conviction
on impeachment arc removal from office aud
disability from holding Office in tho future.
One Of these BE1xHAp imposed upon him
self whom he resigned 70 hastily after Lis
vicious practices had been disclosed by
MAnsn's testimony boforo tho Congressional
Committee. BY thus resigning he tochnic-
ally escaped tho other penalty, though
practically he will not be ablo to avoid it.
He Is evidently through with public life.
No party now In existence or that
1nay ever bo organized will contemplate for q
moment confding any public trust, however
small, to tho keeping Of a man convicted be-
fore tho world Of selling the Offices at his dis.
posal whilo Secretary Of War. The real pen.
atty which ho muAt suffer throughout his on.
tire life is the disgrace which attaches to his
otfonso, and this is h1od indelibly upon him
by the vote in tho United States Senate afto1
full and fair trial, whero his conviction
wonld have boon oil but unanimous it there
Ind boon no dispute as to jurisdiction.
DEIKNAr is also under indictment In WaaA
ington for accepting bribes, aud hia prosocu

Having disposed OF a largo numoerot small
fry cases Of objectionsto TO tho ta1-lovy OF l875'
tho main counsel for tho objeetors on hlon-
day informed tho Court thnt he had groat
contempt for objections founded on moro
technlcalities, and then stated as substantial
objections to recurring property to pay taxes
tho following reaaons:
!. Tint the ordinance of tho city rccitcd
that it was enacted by tho NCommon" Coun-
Gil instead Of tho "city Council.
2. Tint the ordinance mover took effect.
3. That tho whole ordinance ID void because
II contains al appropriation to pny interest
On debt which was unlawful.
Other objections were to tho effect TINT tho
whole Revenue law Of the State was uncon-
stitutional; that tho valuation Of property in
this county was void because Of tho addi-
tons made by tho Board Of Equalization !;
that tho appropriation ordinance was void
because not published thirty days; that 1t
was void because tho city had no authority
to appropriate money for school purposes.
Tho objections that tho city Ind no legal
authority to mako appropriations for school
purposes, md that it had no authority to
mako all appropriation to pay interest On
temporary lonns, aro tho only onos which are
directed against tho taxes tho others rest
purely on tcchnscalities, md tho gentlemen
who object to paying taxes because the Or
