LIE GOSPEL OF FIN1NCE.

Once in lifetime the opportunity comes to
a man to strike his best blow for right and
Justice Perhaps President Hayes may never
have a better opportunity than the one which
he has lust seized so manfully. In response to
all reports that he had departed from the po-
sition taken in his message, and in reply to
some objections by friend who dIssents from
the recommendations of the message in regard
70 tLe currency, the President sent Oh Thurs
day the following letter:
EXECUTIVE MANSION
WASHINGTON, Dee 4, 1879.
MI DEAR: You want money to be plenty. the rate
of interest 10 be low; at the time you the
money to he good You only have this state Of
,hIngs when there confidence the stability OF the

certain acton Of Congress there will be want OF conf
dence The only constitutional legal tender Is

dence a gone All the world now believes that in

tender debts Let them be paid by the In
the Treasury the coin that coming In rom abroad
and H. Will not the circulation Let ship
be he lded In the right direction. IL sound policy
time good times. Sincerely, Il Il. HAYES
Not even President Lincoln ever succeeded
in packing more sound sense into few words.
This short, unofficial and apparently hasty
letter. is worth more than dozen speeches
or messages of the ordinary sort. IL is the
best thing yet done by President Hayes, and
a better thing, in respect to the currency, has
not yet been done by any man. In these
few lines there is the true Gospel of
finance, which wall surely prevail because
il is the truth. The marvellous blessings
which have been showered upon this Nation
have been rewards of the Nations fidelity to
ITS pledges. If the Nation ceases to seek jus-
tice, if it ceases 20 keep its honor bright and
to tread the path of duty, it has no right TO
expect that bountful crops here and grow
ing demand abroad will continue to enrich
the land.
The urgent appeal of the President IL not
in conflict with the recommendations of Sec
rotary Sherman. The President points to the
end toward which an honest and wise nation
should move the Secretary defines the first
step in that progress Removal of the le-
BARTENDER quality of United States notes
is the natural and proper sequence of
the resumption already accomplished, as
it is the first step toward final
retirement OF as many of the notes as the
country may not need to retair - circulation.
1t will be noticed that the ..esident, with
rare discrimination, points out the fact that
it liz only the legal-tender quality of the notes

by his wife with attempting to poison
her with supposed medicine, which she
wisely tried upon cat and responder
with the statement that he had aiieady
undergone church investigation upon all
the charges made by his wife, who was
insane. A savings bank which is attempting
to recover money loaned upon mortgage u
met by the extraordinary defence that the
mortgageor who Is a woman, has been blind
for forty years and imbecile for sixteen years,
and was, therefore, incompetent to make the
contract, which was made only seven years
ago.
The discussion as to the anti-slavery record
of the Methodist Church, far from abating'
seems to glOw warmer as IL extends. lhere
was n lively debate over 1T III Brooklyn
church on Sunday. and the controversy there
opened was supplemented by proceedings III
private clerical meeting yesterday. NO
doubt the affair will go much further. Mean
while the Rev. DIR. Coggeshall, who leads tins
revival of the question. is apparently surprised
that The TRIBUNE declined to grant him the
use of its columns for a reply to Mr. Oliver
John son. This was because the debate was
already Joined in The TRIBUNE between Mr.
the Editor of The Methodist Quarterly Rer'er'
seemed to have good right to speak for his
denomination. We printed two replies from
DIR. Wbedon. and two rejoinders from Mr..
Johnson. OF course it would be impossible 10
take everybody into such controversy anu
we conceive that we do what is far when
we admit one on each side and give both the
same chance TO be heard.
The XLVIth Congress would have at
least one thing to be proud of If 1t should pro-
vide the needed regulations TO govern the
counting of the electoral vote. There
is little hope that it will 10 so now,
when the air is already vibrating with
the approach of the Presidential campaign,
and when four comparatively peaceful sessions
of Congress have been allowed to pass, since
the Winter of 1S76-'77, without anything
being accomplished in this direction. But one
step has been taken which may al
ford some encouragement to those who
still hope for legislation upon the sub
ject before the beginning of another
great contest. The House Committee specially
in charge of the question has reported a bill
which differs from that under consideration
by the Senate in one important particular.
The House bill provides that when the cleo
toral vote of State is in dispute the question
shall be submitted to the highest court of that
State, whose decision shall be final unless over
ruled 10y both houses of Congress. This latter con-
tingency, as our Washington dispatches sug-
eest, is not oveS-likely to occur. The Senate
bill provides that such question shall be SUBJ
mitted to that court of the State which the
State law shall designate. and that its decision
shall be final. 1t is stated that the Republican
members of the House Committee do not ap-
prove the new bill.
