Secretary of the Treasury 20 receive legal
tenders for duties or for four per cent bonds
he would still have had ample power 10
employ the notes thus received, IN any amount
and az any terms, for the purchase OF coin.
Prior to the adjournment of Congress 1t ana
not seem advisable to call the attention OF the
House too directly to this provision of exist
ing law. The enemies of the public credit dld
not discover It; discussions continued Tor weeks
In both houses in apparent ignorance that any
such statute existed. Now that Congress mas
taken itself ont of the way, and has done
nothing of consequence to impair the power
of the Secretary, ii may be of use TO know
how far that power extends. In respect
10 purchase of coin, or sale OF bonds
or notes for coin, he can do almost anything
that seems to him "mOst advantageous to the
"public interest," 1t will not be easy, IN the
face of this law to embarrass the Treasury 10
procuring all the coin that may be needed
and the power here granted, In connection
with others given by other enactments, Is
broad enough for any emergency.
1t is not denied that the Secretary can sell
any amount of bonds that he may need to sell
for the purpose of resumption. Neither can 1t
Do ueuled, bllCe III 10 All oAPil0'' Wv
existing law, that he may sell any gold in the
Treasury that is not required for the payment
of interest on the public debt. With unlimited
power to sell bonds to sell gold, or to sell
legal-tenders, the Secretary certainly did not
stand in need of any further legislation, and
his powers would not have been in any i'm
portant respect curtaIled by any of the meas
ures which were urged by the InAationists
and seemed likely to pass. Their ignorance Of
the laws was very convenient; they lacked
the capacity to be particularly mischevous.

THE sKCRETARYS POWKRS.


II has been repeatedly stated by us that
Mr.. Sherman had ample power to accomplish
resumption of specie payments. How great
his powers are very few understand and it is
fortunate that the infahonists and regulators
did not suspect. Imagining that he might
need additional legislation, some friends Of re-
sumption tried to secure the passage OF bills
to facilitate the sale of bonds and the repudi-
ators tried as earnestly to prevent the passage
of favoring measures. Perhaps it will be a
surprise to both TO learn that the following
provision Of existing law, which gives Secre-
tary Sherman all the power that be can desire
as to sales Of bonds for coin, is found in Sec
ton 300 Of the Revised Statutes:
The Secretary OF the Treasury may purchase coin
with any OF the bonds notes OF the United States
authorized by law such and upon such terms
he may deem most advantageous TO the public interest
Purchase of coin with bonds or notes means
sale of bonds or notes, and this section gives
the Secretary quite unlimited power in that
direction. II coin be needed, and bonds Will
not sell at par, this section authorizes the sale
Of bonds at any other rate. If City millions
proves not enough, this section authorizes the
sale of twice or ten times that amount in
bonds. Had the bill passed. requiring the

NEw-YoRK DAILY TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JUNE p 1878

nrocress of the American. II is 200 years
since old Hakluyt declared it to be the
"fairest land under the cope of Heaven"
vet one-third of its territory lies still IN the
primeval forest, unbroken by spade OF
though. There is no State which yields
a more ready return to applied skill and labor.
Yet the farming population, as a rule, are
satisfied 30 live without the comforts and even
the necessaries of civilization, while there Is
q class IN the depths of the mountains but
little removed in their manner OF life from
the condition of Digger Indians Even among
the educated classes there is gOod-natured
indifference to material advantages, lack OF
energy in acquiring them, which the Northern
settler must consider as q serious drawback
In the way of public progress. On the other
hand, there is little or no hostile Southern
preiudiee for the incOmeT TO contend against
and the community is one with which any
genuine, simple hammered, honorable man,
whether cultured or not, will speedily Ieel
himself IN accord. For the man who is wearied
of the restless Northern activity and strug-
gle, and who wishes quietly to enjoy life, we
know no more suitable home.
We would advise no man to 90 to North
Carolina, however, who does not take with
him a certain amount of capital, either IN
money or energy. A little of the
first will go further in the West
ern part of the State than any
where else in the country. The fact that the
farmers can give board, and that good and
plentiful, at 81 or even less per week, and
make a fair profit by it, will show to our
readers how abundant are the necessaries Of
life. The curse of this rich, beautiful country,
has been lack of energy, and the man who
goes there without it may find enough to cat
drink, and wear, but he will only add dead
weight to the inertia which has so long held
it down. It is the best home, probably, which
offers itself for workingmen. but only work
ingmen ought TO 90 there.

NORTH CAROLLNA.

If we had needed any proof that the clearing
Of the waste lands of the country was the
true remedy for the surplusage Of unem-
ployed labor which is now weighing down the
cities, we should have bad it IN the eagerness
with which the information has been received
that The TRIBUNE has lately given concerning
the resources of the neighboring Southern
States and the chances in them for poor settlers.
The statements concerning Virginia and West
virginia have served as a basis OF investiga-
ton for wOrkingmen of every kind-labOrers,
trades-peOple and mechanics, unable to lind
work in the towns, and who, either individually
or in colonies, during the last two months have
been choosing future homes for themselves in
these States. We profess TO do no more than
TO suggest direction for personal inquiry. We
cannot recommend any especial locality to any
man. Land specuatOrs therefore, or agents and
the planners of cities on paper, need not apply
TO us 10 advertise their schemes gratuitously,
under the pretenoe of helping the working
man. We will not indOrse Edens in the will
derness Of which we know nothing and the
worllingman is a fool who would accept the
Involvement Of The TRIBUNE, or Of any other
authority, of home for himself and his fam
lily without personally examining it, and de-
Gliding whether it meets their requirements or
not. Nobody but himself can decide this.
We offer to-day a statement concerning
North Carolina, considered as home for the
poor man. The statement Is more general
than we could wish, owing to the lack of sta
tistics in detail from authoritative sources.
This State offers a curious contradiction to
the usual popular theory Of the indomitable
