UNJUST CRITICISM.
Against Financial Measures in tho
Civil War Which Were Dictated
H., Annaz1ttx

NJ 4M-
The doctrinaires who would have
had so great a conflict as the Ameri-
can civil war manager by rules laid
down in books, have strongly con-
demned the suspension of specie pay
ments at the end of the year 1861,
and the emission of the legal tender
greenback currency. They also find
fault with the policy of the treasury
managers in 1853. The greepbacIs
were fundable into five-twenties, and
they we're constantly in demand for
this use while Jay Cooke was engaged
in his spectacular sale of that loan,
When it was closed, a prop was talk
en- away from the legal tenders, as
we are reminded by Professor Bolles,
and the country went a hopeless dis
lance from the coin standards TO
which sooner or later it was obliged
to return. 1t is commonly forgotten,
as Grant once remarked in his lacon-
ic fashion, that it was "a good deal
of a war" When we criticize Lin
coin for his chastisement of John G.
Fremont, BLACK David" Hunter, and
the abolitionist generals who were
freeing slaves and arming negroes in
the first years of the war; for his
postponement of the emancipation
proclamation until after the battle of
Antietam, and his refusal then to re-
gard the moral aspects of the mea-
sure; for his we'll known ~forbearance
with Mcclellan, and for various other
op%portunist policies, we should re-
member that there was an enemy in
the rear as well as in the front. The
war was carried on very largely by
expedients, and the treasury could as
i'll have gone on with a closet econo-
mist to manage 1t, as could the war
in general under the direction OF
bookish men.-From Ellis Paxson

On Saturday, incoming, April 10,
while on the way. from his country
home to Third street, Jay Cooke was
informed or LincoIn's tragic death.
He went to the first telegraph station,
and Instructed his agents in New
York to support the market at all
hazards for unlimited sums, and also
put himself into communication with
the treasury department. 1t was
wisely decided not TO open the stock
boards on Saturday, and the begin

perfected for sustaining prices. Il
find a very precious feeling here in

effect OF, his death is to bind all the
people in a firmer union. All parties
