Xhey Must Have Relief, or Sur~ render the State to the Yederal Govern= ment. New Onreans, Aug, 10.—In responts to a communication from citizons of Monroo, as to Yho proper courso to bo pursued regarding Lou- Isiana affairs, John McEnory writes o lotter ad- vislng a State Convention in Docombor, and the sppolntmont of a committoo to appeal to Con- ross. Aftor roviowing tho Kellogg usurpation, gloEnory says: “The prosont condition of Koulsious demands for hor roscuo from cortain ruin tho adoption of one of two romedioes, oithor tha rosous of hor Gov- wrnment from tho ignorance and corruption per- wading almost evory dopartmont, by tho united motion of {ho intolligont and honost poople of tho Btato, or an uttor surrendor of tho Btate to the Fodoral Governmont, trusting that the Gov- ernment may instituto an honest home Govern- smont that will spare tho poople tho conflacation of their praporty now gradually gomng on, and consoquent and inovitable Lankruptov and ruin, Yo any ono educated in tho theory and gooius of our Govornment, the Inttor siternntion is hard, but any Government promis- ng & better future, howevor irrogularly insti- tutod, is proferable to one promising cortain im- poverishment and gencrsl banlkruptecy.

But I Liopo fato is not ®0 {mperious that we shall be driven to accept so desperate a romedy. Lot us hopo better of those ‘who hold our destiny in their bands, Lot ua sppeal earnostly to Cougross, trusting that that honorable body, cnutlupi neido all political preju- dico and party rulo, will do simple justice to a much wronged and injured peoplo. —_— THE INDIANS. A Strong Effort Being Made to Prevont theExecution of the Sentence Agninst the Modocs—Treaty with the Crow Xndinns. ‘WasniNaToN, An% 19.—A numbor of letters have boou recoived here from Quaker and othor frionds of tho Indian poaco poliey throughout the country, asking Lxacutivo_clemency in bo- half of tho Modoce Indians Intely on trial for tho murder of Gen. Canby. Many of these lot- ‘ters raiso the quostion that the trial of the of- fondora wag illegal, undor the decision of the Buprome Court in the Milligan caso, that, being o civil caso, n military tribunal bad no juriadiction. Another question raised s that Gon. Canby was killed whilo acting as a Ponco Commissioner, and not a8 an ofiicer of the army in war. These questions will come dircetly be- fore tho President for his action, as the Court Tor the trial of tho Modocs was organized in pur- Buaco of au opinion of tho Attornoy-Genoral, that a Military Court had jurisdiction in the prem- ises. Tho Judge-Advocate-General of the army takes the saino viow as thoAttorney-General, and will approve the findings of the Cowrt, as will also tho Secrotary of War, Tho Prosidobt, how- syor, must approve and order the exccution of the sentence, and upon him will be brought a pressure to sot aside the findings. Frionds of the pence policy declare that whon all the argu- ments are prosonted to tho Presidont ho will uot order the exccution of tho sontonco of death, in view of the doubtful lofinlity of the tribunal wofore which tho trial took place. On the other band, old army officors doclaro that the Presi- dont will bo guided by the opinion of_the Attor- ney-General, alrosdy rendered, and his own sonse of justico, that tho prisonors were guilty of every violation of the rules of civilized war- faro Dy violating a fing of truce, and, therefors, were subject to trial by military law.

Spectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribuna, DEMAND FOR MONE BANK CURRENOY. ‘Wasnmatox, Aug. 10.—Thero is a probability that $7,000,000 moro currency will bo put in eir- calation about tho time the fall orops aroto be moved. Tho amount of olrculation which has been assigned, but not takon, by tho National Banks, is ©7,000,000. Of this sum, $2,600,000 has boon nssigned to banks, upon spplication, which havo not yot beon orgaunized, Tho re- ‘maining $4,500,000 are required for banks, most of which have boon organized, but which are not 1in sotive oporation. Theso banks are, without oxooption, in tho Wostorn and Southorn States, Tho assignments woro mado in tho ordor of priority of “spplication, and as tho Iaw providoes no period within whick the banls shiall make n doposit of bonda to scours their circulation, the l}ommmflur has considerod that the timo for roserving tho circulation would bo discrotionary with him. The numerouns de- mands for circulation from banke that sre de- sirous of immodiatoly depositing their bonde, snd tho allogod necossity for more curroncy in tho country, have induced him to make tho ordor, which was, yostordny, published, dirgoting all National * Bauks™ that have mado application for currency, to doposit their bonds sud eccuro tho circulntion within thirty dnys, or forfeit their right. If any'of tho glx;my ont applicants do not desiro to doposit thelr bonds, thore aroa suficient numbor of banks, who havo already applied, to take up tho reserve. It thus soema_probablo ‘that the entira £7,000,- 000 will bo put in ciroulation within sixty days, Bhould this be sccomplished, the conditions of the act luthormhli the issue of §54,000,000 will bo fulfilled, an tho time will lhave arrived ‘when the Comptrollor by the torms of law is directod to withdraw from the Enstorn Statos $25,000,~ 000 and distribute it in the West and Bouth. The Nationnl banka very genorally aro rofusing to comply with the torms of tho Becretary of the Tronsury, rolativo to the reisimo of national bank-notos,” Tho banks soom unwilling to be at tho exponso of pnying for the printiog of tho now notes, aa provided by the recent law, and as thnt portlon of the oldlaw which authorizos them to take their oirculating notes in such donominstiona as thoy desire ro- mains _ in force, many banks have ox- proseed their intontion to roturn notes of nll donomiaationa uchnPQ tho fives, which aro not bo bo re-engraved. Although tho law directs that the bauks shall reimburse the Treasury for the printing, there is no_provision for collocting this sum, and lawyers claim that tho law is in- rative. It is siatod that tho Becrotary of the onsury will compel the banks to take notes of tho largor denominations, which are to be ro- printed, thus making the_exponso of printing proportionnte among the banks, and that ho ex- pects Congress to sustain this action. The bill pasged Congress by a trick, and it Was blicly stated in tho Sonato, at the time, to havo a jobin lt. After thnrou?h dobato it failed in ite presago in the Houso inits origiual form, and was only passod by being s~ crotly tackoed to an nppropristion” bill, ~and crowdod through unobserved. It was oponly chargod in the Senate that tho bill was of a sus- picious charactor, and in tho intorosts of tho manufacturers of a distinetive paper, and of tho engravers, The Comptrollor of tho Ourmncg was g0 littlo consultcd in tho matter that Lo di not evon know of the pasaage of the bill. Tho banks make tho additional point that thore is no further dabgor of “counterfeiting the notos which have] been ordored printed, since the counterfeit platos have beon captured sud destroyed. THE WAWASSET DIBASTED, Tho Wawassot investigation wis not conclud- ed to-day aa had boon oxpected. Tho officors desire to adduco ndditional toatimony to show that thoy porformed their duties. Their bravory is undisputed, but the testimony of oach nddi- tional witnees shows that thoro was utter lack of discipline, and that the boat was to a great ex~ tent loft to itself.

Ho said it was not known what courso Judge Sherman would pursue, but it waa thought he would refuse the Toquested resignation and stand the hazard of impeschment, bolisving he could escape on & technicality, _* But for all practical purposes ho might as well bo out of office now,” said my friond; * for no respootablo lawyor will takea case to his Conrt if ho can bolp it, and thoro is almost nothing done in it. 1o is undor the ban, worso than any judicial officer ever waa," 1f ho should resign or be impeached, it will only bo a bad onding to a bad appointment.

The prisoner, when searched in tho Armory, was found to have in his possession s diamond glase-cutter, a londed revolver, s British Army Crimoa modal, and a Spauish silver coin,—just tho sort of articles ono would expect to find on a fifth-olnss eracksman, — e MINISTERS’ HALF-FARE. o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Bin: Will you allow a minister from a country city, who happens to bo in Chicago for & fow wooks, to expross himeself on this balf-fare ques- tlon. X was surprised to rend tho Rev. Robert Collyer's lotter, and no less 80, whon I saw TuE Trmoxe's indorsemont of the same. Dr. Coll- yor's position is, that the ministors of to-day got »a good pay, according to their talents, s sny other clase of poople. This may bo truo of . cities, but I doubt if it is truo of tho ministry s arule. 8o far as my acquaintance goes (eightoon yoars in the North- west), it 18 not true. I can call up ministors by the score who aro worth, in the ministry, or any worldly business (had they selected ug. 26 por cont moro than thoy aro goiting. Desidos, min- istors, whon thoy choose the miuistry, accopt it for lifo, and thielr high professions, and the con- victions and projudicos of the people, preclude them from any effort to suprlnmnut their sala- rics in any way, unless it be litorary lubor, whioh ispvery poor pay. 'HE_ 'I'nmuNe i8 wide of tho facta whon it statos that Protestant ministors' salaries range {from £2,000 to §20,000. I know that, in pros- ‘perous communitics, many ministers do not re- coivo moro {han 2000. Somo recolve loss, It would have beon nearer tho truth to have said from @500 upwards. Nor, what tuinistor that is & ministor can support o family and koep abronst with tho timos on ©500, or even twice that smount? Dr. Collyor and others receiving Inrgo salarios can afford to be magnanimous and largely indopendent before tho peoplo; but the romoyal of tho half-faro and all discounts will bear hoavily upon men equally heroic and indo-~ pendent, but loss fortunate. And, for thoe lifo of me, I cannot ses why tho rocolving of such thinge as half-faro pasos and discounts should diluo a mau's charactor, or make him any loss indopondout. If ko, lot us do away with subsoriptions for vacations. And wonld it not becomo physicians and toachiors’ eommitteos also to rofuse discounts? And ought not editors wXuy for tho books thoy notice and roview, instend of rocoiving thom gratuitonsly ? Tt ministers aro mendicants bocauso they rocofve half-fars pass, etc., then editors, doctors, eto., aro mondicanta for receiving discounts, books to notico, ete, The ministry will voluntarily shod the garb of mendicancy " whon other classes of Bsocioty, as dootors, editora, etc., are ready to chango their garb, Who will take up the clinm- pion's belt? 1t is Orthodox, though, to repent oursolves bofore wo oxbort others, . To mo, this wholo matter is a business ono, The ralroads so considered it when, & few yoars since, thoy raturncd tho balf-faro passcs they had taken up. They are of the samo opinion to-dasy in continuing thoso, passes while others havo beon called in. T beliove it to bo a fact that, if the hali-fare is stoppoed, minis- tors will ride but scldom, comparatively, and keop their own conveyance. Thia alone will boa loen to thoe railronds of many thousands of dol- lars, Iknow ono minister who pnys, this ecclos- astical yoar, €400 for railroad faro, on oflicial business, who, if the hnlf-fare is taken nwn{ will pay tho raflronds very littlo ; for, as he told mo, it would bo cheaper to keop his own carriage. 1 go for roform, but I doubt if this wholosalo proposition would be reform.
