THE ARGUS is always glad to hear from
Mr.. Wright, and republishes now what it
said months ago,-that it is in favor Of the
following principles:
/. Abolish the National banks, and leave
the business of exchange, loans, deposits.
etc, to private bankers, like our Mitchell
Il Lynde banking house.
2 Have no other paper currency but the
United States treasury notes commonly
called Greenbacks) and in quantities only
necessary for the business of the country,
and make them payable in gold, on de
mand, at the U. s. sub-treasurer' in the
different cities.
3. Make the Greenback convertible into
U. S. bonds bearing low rate of interest
Aud THE ARGUS then added the follow
ing:
If these are the principles of the Green.
back party, on the currency, we do not see
any reason why the Democracy should not
adopt them. We do not understand that
the Greenback party desire such an lnfa-
ton of the currency as to disturb values,
or any initiation at al! beyond the necessi-
ties of business.

speeuiations about Peace.

CH1cAGo, September 8.-A Tribune London special says: Semi-oficlal Ger man papers declare that the policy Of Germany consists just now of pushing peace negotiations in a dislnterested and unspeculaJive manner. The poll cy of England is to put an end to hos tilities as soon as possible, without ref erence to conditions, which is anything but a disinterested desire, sInce she on- Iy cares to advance her own conner cial interests, which are in a langUish- ing condition. At the Russian bead quarters it is stated that no overtures for peace will be listened to until after some overwhelming victory, when the Car can dictate his own conditions. The Russians are determined to fight to the last, and the Car has recently declared that he will return 10 Russia either dead or victorious.
 The rumors of intervention, circula- ted in the early part Of the week, have drawn forth identical answers from the Cabinets of London, Berlin and Vien- ha-;hat that time is not yet arrived. It is felt that since for the settlement of the Eastern question the sword has been appealed to, a solution, If not final, at least of some duration, can only be ar rived at by the decided superiority of one or the other of the COntesting par ties. or else by a thorough exhaustion of both. and the conviction IS brought home to both, that neither of them is able to solve the problem by sheer force Any premature attempt to in- trigue, and thus prevent a decision, could only lead to a hollow peace, and then to the misfortune of seeing the struggle renewed, after a comparatively shOrt time. and the tremendous sacri- fee of life and property already made would not have advanced the solution one steD

LOCAL MATTERS.

hlR. GEO. F. STEVENS Of san Carlos Is in town. He left there last Saturday and reported that about 250 Warm Spring h. dians had len the reservation, and that a party of White Mountain and Chirlcahua Indians had followed them and captured party with some twenty ponies loaded down with provisions. They held them where captured, expecting to turn them over to troops but none coming to receive them. as we remember tbe report. let them go. Nolgee and party also left, talk ing along some twenty women and chii- dren to Join Pionsenay. Several com panies of troops and some Indian scouts are after the renegades. There were about fifty bucks with the Warm Springs. Ex- capt the women and children who went out with Nolgee to Pionsenay, none or the other bands had gone away from the re- serve when Mir. Stevens left, and all the Indians seemed contented. He thinks the Warm Springs left because Of the in- terview held with Nolgee. In a nasty conversation with Mir. Stevens. we may not have remembered his exact words,
 but think we have the substance of his report.

Tweed TesIiiying.

NEW YORK, September Civilian M. Tweed today was before the Com mittee of Aldermen investigating the ring frauds. lie testified that the ring formed in the Board of Supervisors, in 1860. for passing excessive bills, con sisted of Roach, Briggs and himself. In 1863, Henry Smith was added; in 1865. John Fox: in 1866, James Hayes in 1869, Isaac J. Oliver and Andrew J. Blakely. The last two did not know all that was going on, but they got their share. In 1870, the Board of Su- pervisors was abolished The Tweed ring had nothing to do with the Super vis0rs' ring The former was under Holfman's administration as Mayor, and was composed of the witness, John T.

We have it from reliable authority that the Secretary of War telegraphed, through headquarters, to Col Dunn to order the s. P R. R. Co. to suspend all work upon the military reservation of Fort Yuma, and moreover claiming that the reservation extends to this, the southern bank of the Colorado. Hav. ing only last week given the permis- sion 10 carry on the work, which we published in our issue of the 1st, it has appeared the more remarkable and in consistent After all the clamor for so many years for a through railroad to the Pacific, and for railroads in gener- al; when our government has consid- cred it of such importance as to justify it in robbIng future generations of so large a tract of land as alternate sec tons for a distance of twenty miles on each side of the route and other sub-i- dies, it becomes surprising at least Co see any member of 1t throwing obsta- cles in the path of anyone, were it Lu- cifer himself, who would construct a read from ocean to ocean without the land subsidies.

We trust to receive authorita- tive information that shall present the matter in a more favorable light for the Secretary of War as well as for the Texas Pacific R. R.
