According to the Washington CORE
spondent of the Boston Advertiser, the
Southern men at the recent democratic
caucus expressed great delight at the
adroit manner in which the committee of
seven had drafted resolution to meet the
difficulties presented by Mr.. Edmund's
propositions, and at the same time MAIN
tain its peace among Northern and South
erndemocrats. The former had announced
in the first caucus that it would solidify
the North against the party if the demo-
Gratis voted against Mr.. Edmunds's in
dorsement of the amendments, and the
Southern men were equally pronouncedin
saying that their people would never sub
NIT to proposition that the general gov
eminent had the right to interfere, as
claimed by Mr. Edmunds. The resolution
as presented suited both parties. The
Northern men agreed that they could stand
upon the general declaration that the
amendments were binding and at the

fed with the form of the resolution AS to
declare that the Northern democrats have
finally agreed to the States right doctrines
in as extreme form as any of its former
advocates presented before the war. The
caucus took very important step beariue
upon the question of called session o
the forty-sixth Congress. 1t was agreed
to informally request the democrats in tn,

rebellion a ground for challenge, the S2ls

not be forced through the house, it wa
further agreed to ask that it be put on som

Government Paper Money.

Those who favor retiring bank notes and
issuing treasury notes instead for the cir
culating medium of the country, should
read with care the following from Alex
ander Hamilton's report to Congress OF
Dec. IS, 1890, in which he said:
"The emitting of paper money by the au-
thorirs Of Government is wisely prohibited
to the individ ual States by the National Con-
stitution, and the spirit of that prohibition
ought not to be disregarded by the Govern
ment of the United States. Though paper
emissions, under general authority, might
have some advantages not applicable, and be
free from some disadvantages which are ap-
plicable to the like emissions by the States
separately, yet they are Of a nature so liable
to abuse and, it may even be affirmed, so GER
tain Of being abused. that the Ttsdom Of the
Government wiH be shorn IN nerer trusting
itself With the use Of so sedueing and dan
gerous an e1pedient.
Among other material differences between
q paper currency issued by the mere authority
of Government and one issued by bank,
payable in coin, is this: That in the first
place. there is no standard to which an appeal
can be made as to the quantity which will
only satisfy or which will surcharge the cir
culatiOn; in the last that standard results
from the demand. If more should be issued
than is necessary it will return upon the
bank. Its emissions, as elsewhere intimated,
must always be in a compound ratio to the
fund and the demand; whence it is evident
that there is Limitation in the nature of the
thing, while the discretion of the Government
is the only measure of the extent of the
emissions BY its own authority"
