II Among the other subjects ofgreat
Importance, one which SO much affects
Our internal trade and foreign com
merce, is tho "currency question. The
president seems to think that re-
sumption should be pursued by every
suitable means. Without attempting to
question the sincerity or intelligence OF
opposing opinions, he clearly shows
that to avoid serious disasters in the af.
fairs of government and people, and to
secure permanent quality of money,
resumption is necessary. In close con-
nection with this, he connects the read
justment OF our coinage system, by the
renewal Of the silver dollar as an ele-
ment in our specie currency, endowed
by legislation with the quality OF legal
tender to greater or less extent. AS
a theory, this appears TO be all that can
be desired; it's efficacy must be proven
by adoption.

scnatives IL, without doubt, very able

90 his belief that the Southern policy, to
complete and establish the pacfication
Of the country, is and will be, until fully
accomplished, the most important of our
national interests. As opinions differ
much as to the means best calculated to
bring about these results, he has adopt
ed such measures as, in his Judgment,
were most in harmony with the condi-
lions and genius of our people, and best
adapted, under all circumstances, to at
tain the end in view.
The bencficent results thus far, both
by their effectiveness and justice, have
fully proven his endeavors more than a
mere experiment. The discontinuance
OF the use of al army for the purpose of
upholding local government in the
states of the Union was both constitu-
tional duty and requirement under the
existing circumstances, and much
needed measure for the restoration of
local government and the promotion
of national harmony. AS result of this
policy, order is fast taking the place OF
strife; lawlessness is becoming rare
political turmoil and turbulence has dis
appeared; useful industries have been
resumed; the public credit of the South
has been greatly strengthened; such
says he, are some of the results attained
tF The president, in behalf of the
freedmen, SAYS that it should be the
fixed and nnulterablo determination OF
all to protect, by all available and prop
ar means under the constitution and
law, the lately emancipatcd race. lie
appeals to those to whom this race has
heretofore sustained the relation OF
bondmen, to tender to them all the bcne-
fits Of Justice and humanity. The leg
islatures, the courts and the executive
authorities of the several states should
use their authority in securing the
common and uniform rights of a united
people. The president gives assurance
that whatever authority rests with him
to this end, he will not hesitate to exer-
else.

The Wreck OF the United States steam-
or Huron.

II is now known that there was no
defect in the engines of the Huron and
that the disaster did not occur through
any unseaworthiness Of the vessel, but
was due simply to deviation of the com
passes and to miscalculation of the
strength of the current setting towards
the shore. The Huron left Hampton
Roads, Thursday, and kept on her
course until she struck, which was at
l:20 Friday morning. Before she
struck she was running close to the
wind, but as soon as she struck she
beached. Once in the breakers in such
a sea there was little hope of saving
her. All that could be done was done.
The engines were reversed and worked
steadily in that direction for over half
an hour. An attempt was made to
brazil up the trySail, but such was tie
violence of the wind and the force of
the sea which now began 10 break over
the vessel, that the attempt had to be
abandoned. The ship heeled of from
the beach, lying down upon her port
side and soon bilging. All the boats
on that side were swamped and render
ed useless. One of those upon the star
board side was lowered, but only TO be
