After Many DAYS.

| The American.
As our readers are aware, the New
| York banks always have refused to take
any part in the national experiment to
restore the credit of silver. They made
compact with each other to treat silver
| always as merchandise and never as
coin. They thus set themselves in
exactly the contrary attitude to that
taken by the Bank of England, which
offered our government all the support
it could give in rehabilitating that
metal. As their dealings with the gov
eminent are very large, and as the Sec
retaries of the Treasury ever since the
resumption Of specie payments have
been in agreement with them, this re-
fusal to accept silver has. operated to
drain the gold out Of the Treasury and
to leave the silver there. But at last
they have come to the end of that pro-
cess, and either they must take silver in
payment of their claims, or they must
forego payment. They have decided to
adopt plan by which they seem to
adhere to their anti-siIver resolutions.
while in reality they abandon them. In
close and friendly cooperation with their
friend, Mr.. Manning, they have resolved
to advance gold to the Treasury, and to
accept therefor certificates of indebted
ness payable in lawful money Of the
United States. This is mere makeshift.
as everybody sees. Money thus ad-
vanced TO the government is represented
by these "lawful money! certificates.
Either the lawful money" the banks
have agreed to take is GOLD exclusively,
or the banks have backed down from
their refusal to take silver. If the
former, the Treasury is no better off for
these advances. If the latter, it would
have been more honest and candid for
both the Treasury and the banks to have
announced that they both meant to
treat gold and silver on equal terms for
the future.
The heroic course for the Treasury to
have taken would have been to restore
its gold reserve by selling bonds at such
prices as they would bring. This course
is authorized by the Resumption Act Of
1878, and the issue of lawful money
certificates is not authorized by any
statute But Mr.. Manning dare not
take step 50 extreme IN scorn of silver
with his own party in Congress arrayed
against him on that issue. So he agreed
with the banks to let them down easily,
and to disguise their surrender Is much
as possible.

THE citizens of Vicksburg are arrang
ing for appropriate menaorialiservices OF
Saturday next, the day of General
GR4NT's funeral. The Governor and
other State officers have been invited to
participate. The capture of Vicksburg
July 4, 1868, added immensely to the
fame of General GR.NT, and was perhaps
his greatest military achievement; it is
therefore peculiarly appropriate that
the people of that city should lead in a
service that should be not merely a
local expression of respect for the mem
DRY of the dead chieftain, but one that
should speak for the entire State. The
troops captured at yicksburg remember
General CRANE for the generous and
magnanimous. treatment which they re-
ceived under his orders.
