In tho formor body, Senator Morton made & roply to Senator Schurzs argumont sgainst inflation. Austris, ho aaid, has mademore progress comparativolyof Isto than sny other European country, and during the whole time hor currency hag been at & discount of from 10 to 20 porcont. Another of his argumonts was that undérneath the op- position to ivfltion bio agos tho uncasy spirlt of the old Btato banking system looming up, whiob, he trusts, may nover bo resurreoted. Ho avows limselt opposod to = any reduction' in the wages of lnbor, ‘overlooking the demonstration of Sonstor Schurz that nothing onts into tho incomo of farmers and laborers like an ox- nggorated and unateady curroncy. He rotirna twice, and with groat severity, to tho notion which nobody olso has suggested, that tho finon- clol pystom of this country should bo modelod on that of Great Britain, Sonator Dogy's viows in favor of more currency Lo bolieves to Lo more popular thun thoge of bis colleaguo, and ho complsins, in conclusion, that wo have less cur- roepoy now, in comparison with tho business of tho country, thsn we had five yonrs ago,~a fact which would bo considered by ‘most fiaanciors indicative of o gratifying grawtl. In tho Board of Trado tho subject was brought tovate, and tho inflationiata dofoated by the significant voto of 44 to 9..

' It is something moro thau a year ‘siuce Sen- ator Schurz's voico has been Leard in publio dls- cussion. It i not surprising, therefore, that, when he roso to address tho Sonato on Wednos- day last, ho should have commanded markod at- tention, nlthough spoaking on a subject which most commonly emptics the Chambor and the gallories, and loaves tho orator to tho exclusive disapprobation of tho Vico-President and the official roporters. The fact thet Mr. Schurz's speech on the curroncy question was listonod to with eagor intorest {a an acknowledgmont from his fellow-Sonators and tho public that ho is ac- customed to mastor lis subject bofore ho de~ livers his opinions, and that whatover passos through tho crucible of his mind is cloar- od of all dross. . Tho conclusfons which ho prosented to tho country provo that ho ia o thorough student of political economy, and whother thoy aro adopted by this Congress ornot (we prosume thoy will not bo), thoy will somo time forco themeelves upon tho legislation of the country. r. Boburz is the firat public man to daolare tho indisputable fact that tho power fo issuo logal-tendor currouoy not redeemablo in coin is & powor to conflscate overy men's property. This {8 80 ploin & proposition'that ne one can controvert or quostion it for an instant. Yeb this powor has beon virtually oxorcled by the Becrotary of tho Lrossury over since he com- monced paying out tho 44,000,000 0f groonbacks rotired by Beorotary MoCullool; and, as Mr. Behurz observes, thero {8 no resson why lho should stop with the exhaustion of the 44,000, 000. Ifitis unlawful, as tho Senato Financo Committee declded, ta rolasua the Si4,- 000,000, 4t will be no moro unlawful ta issuo the noxt £44,000,000. It s enslor to issuo grooubacka than to cut down ox- peneea or to lavy taxes, and tho supinouoss of Congrens, which dares noither Jogalizo the issue nor put » stop to it, is the ouly sort of encour- agoment necded to insure a contthuance of the polioy aftor the 944,000,000 ara all spent. M. Sobusz shows that tho Septombor pusic was not the result of a want of curroncy, bub was the consequonca of & long-continued and reokloss wasto of property by extravagant living and vicious epeculation. Tho panio having como, and having producod moro “ shrinkage," ton {imes aver, than a resumption of specie pay- monts could produce, he maintaina that now is tha grand opportunity for rosumption. The srguments ho advances in support of this view aro unansworablo, but thoro is little roason to npposo that Congross will adopt {hom.

TAYLOR'S MESSAGE, Tho messngo of Qov. Taylor to tho Logislaturo of Wisconsin is a dooumont that will comparo favorably with any Stato paper of that kind that hme boon publishad for many years, Though olocted undor cirenmstancos tbat might have warrantod sharp oritlclams on advorso pollcles, the mossago i an ablo and dignifled prosontation of subjocts of material intorost, and fa froo from tho loast talat of partisansbip, In roforring fo tho recent flvancial reverses, and the accompany- ing domand from the poople for a purcr public. ‘morality, a moro oquitable npportlonmont of tho burdons and blessings of government, and a moro rigid cconomy in tho adminlstration of goverainont, ho rominds tho Loglslaturo that thoy havo to des) only with faots a8 thoy exist, and to apply such constitutionsl romedies ag oxporienco may suggest. Ho advises that all Btato oficors should rocoive fixed salarics, and that sll foos bo paid into the Treasury; sud montions 18 a publio soandal that, while tho en- 1iro sum to pay the por dieom sud rileage of the mombors of tho General Assombly is BEP,DDD por annum, tho incidental oxpenses of tho Legisla- ture amount to an equal sum. 1o strongly urges o reform in the Election Jaw, and a ropeal or simplification of tho rogisiry eystom in fowns and citios. Ho espocinlly ad- visos & chango of tho Inw which provides for opening tho polls ot 9 o'clock sud closing them | st sundown, and which thereby doprives evory man employod at work for.wages of tho privl- logo of votlng, aavo by the charity of his om- ployor or loss of his wagos. Tho probibition, Dy law, of passes to all public officors i advised, ‘and tho hopo ia oxprossed that such & moasuro will contribute to tho shortening of logislative sosslons. In discussing tho Temperauce law, pnssed by tho 1ast Logislaturo, ho-justly romarks that governmont was inatitutod for tho protection of socioty, and is not an appropristo instrumen- tality for the definition and enforcoment of pri~ vato morality, While tho prociss line botweon tho freodom of the individual aud tho rights of soclety may bo difficlt to dofine, tho gonoral ro- stritions upon tho exoroino of logislative power In that direotion are nono the less positive. Tho natural inolination {a to invoka tho powor of tho Govornment as & romedy for all ovils, and thoro 1a danger in too liboral concessiona to these do~ mands, Ho thioke thoro is no aggrogation of popular ovils moro to bo approhonded than a Governmont loaded with a superabundance of arbitrary powoers, and bordoned with tho solf- imposod rosponsibility of rightiog =il tho wronga of which socicty complains. Some of tho provisions of the Temporanco law conflict with these views, snd aro at tho samo time ins afflcicnt to accomplish the Inudablo purpose con~ tomplated. A mojority of the people of the Stato aro opposad to what is Imown a8 the Grabam Inw, sod bo advises its amandmont aud tho ropoal of tho obnoxious provisions. Upon the subject of transportation, the Govornor doubta the proprioty of sppeais to tho Federal Government for roliof from the sbuses in the management of railronds, Indopondont of the' important question of power, it must be con- fessed that oxperfence lins not given accasion for unlimited confidence in tho ability, purity, or impattinlity of Congross in tho managomont of onterprises of this kind, Ho thunks thers can bo no donbt of the plonary pawor of tha Stato over corporetions of its own creation. The duty of tho Tegislaturo to exorciso this powerto provont or to abolish tho evilsof ostortion and inonopoly 18 in his judgment cloar. Recogniz- fng railronds ns of groat importanco, the Stato shonld make no war upon thom, but af the ssme time showld pormit no sbuse of chartered priviloge, Ho submits this mattor to the sorious conpidoration of tho Logisiature. Ho inolinos to the opinion that a Railroad Commission may bo valunblo as contribating to o better under- standing botwoen tho peoplo and the railways, by ohtaining information essontial to compra- honstve and officient logislation. Otherwise ho does not think the exporiment of s Board of Railrond Commissionors as mado elsowhero has roalizod what was oxpectod of it. After disoussing tho importance of agrioul- ture in Wisconsin, bo thus forcibly rominds the Logislatura of ite duty totho farming intorost : . Tlo farming population of onr Biata aro far ro- ‘moved from tho centres of political power, Thelr oc- cupation thus far bns been wholly lndividualized, Unliko great monesed interents, which aro organizod and colienlve, thoy aro nover found in tho Iobbios of our Legislaturcs, Thoy omploy no attorueys to fufest your prosenco and to corrupt tho fountains of law. Thoy seok no private avonus to tho Publio Treasury, “Thoy ask no epectal ensctmenta for tho benedt of tho fow at tho oxponge of tho many, They enter into no combinations for tho subvorsion of tho principles of mutual justicoand oquality botweon men and man. Bubrmissivo to tho stern docreo which compels them to Tives of hard but cheorful foll, they truat alone to the Adolity of (hefr mworn represoutatlyes. To violato this confidonco nnd permit tho workingmon of our Stato to bocomo the prey of tho profeasfonal slinrpor aud spallaman of tho lobbies, would bo not merely & toctinleal violation of anr oath of ofico, but a sur- ondor of overy honorable attribute of our manhicod, Taken ns & wholo, the moseago of Gov. Taylor inn straightforward, manly, and seslly able ad- dress npon vital quostions, and cannot fail to sasura the poople of Wisconsin that thoy made 7o mistike whon thoy olocted bim, THEY STAND BY THEIR GUNR. Last summer, whon the farmers of tho North- watorn Statos Qisonrded old party politics, aud sought ta eleot State aud local officors pledged to roform, thore was a gonoral poob-pook from the Ropublican politicians. Thoy said it was a Demoeratio trick, and that after the oleotion the succosaful candidatos would tako their position aceording to thoir provious party nssoclations, and tho pooplo wero solomnly warned aginst the dangor of restoring the Domacratie party to power undor tho guise of Roform, Tu Towa, therowas not time to makea thorough organization of tho Anti-Monopoly votors. It was thought that tho Republican mejority of 00,000 was too groat to bo oyercome, and honeo in o large part of tho Btato tho attompt to cloot Roform Siato ticket woa abnndoued, and aiton- tlon wae given exclusivoly to tho tloketa for local ofilcors, Only one-half of the Stato Bonnte ot Towa was to bo olected, nnd, though the Ite- formors gained largaly, thoy wora wuablo to ra- vorso the political majority ina body hithorlo slmost unanimously Bopublitan, In tho House thore was a much bettor showing, Of tho 100 mewmbora, tho Opposltion olocted AIfty, the largor part of whom liad proviously boon Ropublicans, Though My, Carpontor was eleoted Govornor by 20,000 majotity, tho Anti-Monopoly party, alf un- organizod as it was, had & sléar majority on tha Roptoscntative voto. Had thoy known thoir atrongtl, thoy could havo olected Mr: Valo Gov- ornor, Wo give the voto for Governor in cor- taln conntios whoro Roform onudidatos for tho Toogletature wore oleoteds + Though theso five counties gnvo Onrpontor 8 majority of ovor 6,000, thoy onch olected » Tio- formor to tho Logislaturo. Atter the clootions, tho organs paradoi tho fact that a large body of tho Roformers olectod had boon Republicans, and upon the meeting of the Legislature would “unquestionably act with tho Ropublioan . party. But the rosult shows differontly. Doaplto’ Oar- pentor's mojority of 93,000, tho Roformora nos know tholr sirongth; thoy know that ovon in Town tho Ropublican party i brokon, snd that honcoforward that Btato 18 to bo undor tho con- teol of tho new party. Instead of boing false to tho pooplo who have oleoted thom, the fitty Re- formora in tho Houso resolutoly maintain thoir indopondance. Tho organizatlon of the Houso 18 of courso postponod by tho dead-lock, but tho yoaple who have united so long for xeform can afford to wait a-littlo longor, Thoy now discovor that the Republican pacty ia opposed o tho Ro- form movomont, and that thero can be nosuccess untll that party {8 dofoated. In Wisconsin, the clection wasa month later than in Tows, and the poople thore rosolved to tost thew strongth ovon agalnat Gav. Washburn, whoso Bympatbios were with thom, and who himsolt is a Reformer. They. not only oleoted their Btate officors, but a majority in ono branch of tho Logislatuze. Horo, too, among tho Re- formors wero a great many who had been Repub- Means, sud who, it was prodicted, would, con- tinuo to act with that party. Buttho result has shown, s in Towa, that evory man oleotod by tho Roformers has proved truo to tho trust reposed in bim, . Tn Kansas, too, whera party ruls hus boon un- brokon sinco tho admission of tho BStato, the pooplo bave also taken tho control of politionl mattors in their owa hande. Thoy olooted » ‘majority of the Logislature, Just bofore tho ‘meoting of the Tegislature, & large number of ‘mombors, mostly thoso who had proviously beon Ropublicans, issucd the fallowing eall: We, tho underaigned, hercby unito na call for a ‘meting of all tho members of tho Logislsturo who ara willing o act indepondently of the claims of tho polit- foal pattica to which thoy Lavo Leretoforo belonged, for (o purposo of orgsnizing a csuous with 8 view to securing Larmony of actlon on sush measures of ro~ form na thoy may doem DeccssAry, Tho rosult of this call waa that u lorgo major- ity of tho mombors attended tho coucus aud nominated Mr. MoEckron for Speaker ; and tho noxt day the regular Ropublicans found thom- solvos in such o pitiful minority that thoy made no opposition, and -sllowed tho indopondont candidate to bo electod by an unanimous voto. In Miunesotn, tho Roformors olectodl to tho Legislature linvo boon oqually faithful to thelr pladgos, and in all thoso Btatos thoy nccopt oponly and unrgorvedly tho antagonism to tho Ropublican party which bus boon forced upon thom. In thoso four States tho Republicans | sho Luve loft tha party and united with the farmors have shown the sincority of their ac- tiou, and thoir purposo to continue tho fight. AGENT SMITH AND COMMISSIONER SMITH. My, William Welsb, the firat Chairman of the Indisn Commission, lias writton to the President o Jottor which skefches o fow salient points iu tho enroor of the prosont Commissionor of In- dian Affairs, and strongly suggests that the Prosidont bad better tako his Civil-Bervico Re- form hatchet and chop off Afr, Smith's official hoad, The Philadolphia Press, which publishes the lotter, saga: **We much mistaka Prosident Grant if this form of indictmont does not open his oyes to s systom in tho last dogroo dis- roputable. . Wa can acateely ballovo that tho testimony of Mr. Welsh will be igmored, in viow of thefact that ho stands roady to -mnke good all his charges.” The Press is indood san-~ guine, But the charges, iguored or not at Wash- ington, ought to Lo hoard by tho peoplo. Wo summarizo what Mr. Woleh haa to say : Bome timo beforo Novembor, 1872, Bmith, thon Iudion Agent in Minnosots, sold toa Mr. Olark part of tho pino timbor belonging to the Indians ab Oak Park for $1.85 por thousand. Clark swoars that ho offered to talko it all at that prico, but Smith asii ho hed no right to dispose ofit. Subscquontly, Ulark waa notifled that his contract was void, becanso tho Indians refused to soll any timber. . Meanwhilo, Smith mado an ofcial roport that pino timber inforior to tho Oale Pork tract in quality was worth $2.50 to ‘33 » thousand. After thoso transactions, Smith gold tho troes on this traot and elsowhers, to ono A. H. Wildor, at 81.15 a thousand. This was done withont advortisoment and against tho oxprossod wishes of the Indians. Ho then went to Washington and got Gen, Walker, the then Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to ratity the contraot” by telling him that tho Indians would atarve if money was not rafsed for their roliof; that Wilder would advanco 50,000 at onco in ordor to savo thom from jmmodinte sufforing; and that tho prico Wilder had agreod io pay was & faiv ono. It is noodloss to add that the $50,000 was nover paid. Bocrotary Dolano ssys o knew nothing of the contract till Mr. Wolsh oxposed it to him. Ho thon appointed four Commigsionors to oxamine tho charges ngainst Smith, This quartot do- clined to ask the Fedoral Jourts to compol tho attendanco of witnessos, Thoy oxamined the partioa to the contract and their attorney, and searcoly anybody olse. Their roport, of courso, tranaformed Smith into notling loss than o wingloss angol. ) Agont Smith moauwhilo reapod tho reward of his honest toil by beiug made Commisslonor of Indian Affairs. His powers, and consoquontly his misdoeds, wore now gyeater. The law croat- Ing the Indian Commission reads: *Tho Bonrd of Commissioners i8 to exerolse joint covirol with the Intorior Department over the disburso- ment of [Tndian] appropziationa.” To this law Bmith has paid no sort of attontion. Ho has baeon aqually oblivions of the law requiring the sdvortisomont of a contract bofore it 18 lot. In deflanco of both, ke hias made oxtonsive private contracts wWith A, H.
