The Prosident remarked that Mr. Gray had glvon & very corroot impresston of tho interviow, slthough it was not expeoted that it could iave boen reported in tho procise lan- guago, Haenid, as to the original logat-tonder nots, thoy wore not now opon for considera~ ton, or EVEN CRITIOISN ; that, when they wore adoptod, thoy were adopt- od by loyal mon for the ealvation of tho country, and with them the War had been suocossfully oarried through ; and it was only with that suc- coss, and the results growlug ous of it,'that wo had any country, or curroncy either, to regulato.

On the question of usiug the reserve for the purchaso of long bonds, ho eaid that what ho wishod partioularly to prosont was the faot that, as the taxation was thon produoing a revenue in oxcess of oxpenditure, and gtill the national credit abroad and at home was mot direutly strongthencd by that fact, he had fixed upon the policy of buying, or, in other words, PAYING THE LONG DONDE, for the ronton that thia improved the crodit of the nation wherever thoso bonds were held, which extended throughout tho flnancial world; and tho bonds, moreover, themselves wore then overduo in dne sonso, as they had then become puyable at tho option of the Government, ana, the .| Government havivg a surplus of rovenuo, this option to pay bocame a logal obligation, ' The Prosidont furthor eaid that ho was In favor of going farthor than Mr. Gray or his Commit- too bnd auggestod, and it was morely following out the same line of policy. Ho said tho logal- tendor acts thomselves should now bo reposled ; thoy had worked out their wholo offle ; thoy bad earried tho country through tho war, and ware no longor necoesary ; and he hoped that Congress, during {ts present sosslon; would BEPEAL ALL THE LEGAL-TENDER ACTH, such rapeal to take effact Jan. 1, 1375, oud that thereafter all contracts should ba made on n -gold-basls. ‘He sald it would scom that this could bo dono without any disturbance of the commeroial or financial intorosts of thio country, snd, once accomplished, all tomptation to infia~ tion was onded. g’ As to tho taking away from Now England tho oxcess of bank-ciroulat! oui‘hn soid that it really smounted to nothing, The banks from the Enst woro now roturning their ciroulation and withdrawing their Londs much moro rapialy than there was any demaud from the West ang the Bouth for the clroulation, o thought tho ' figuros would show, witbin tho'last few months, that moro than double tho amount of eirculation had been returnod from the Enst that was asked for by the South and West.

In a country whero we are all called upon to finally decide tho matter, and one man’s voto counts the same 08 auother's, we cortainly have the right to an opinion, anyhow, Judging from the assured tone of the infla- tiontats, it would soem to bo with them & fore- gone conolusion that the weight of argument was all on their side ; especially when tho cli- max is capped by the * spread-eagle " nsaurance that greenbaoks are the *‘people’s money ;" * pledged by the powor and wealth of the na- tlon," eto,, eto.

Every American starting abroad, on a jonrney, previously con- vorts his greenbacks into coin, kmowing how useless it is to loave without it. .

The ory of the morchant, the apeculator, and the mauulacturer, for more cnrrency, in order to stimulato businces, is wall illustratod by the *'honps of business’ done in France during the roign of TIE FAMOUS ABSIGNATH. In thoso days, the Frenchmon heard the same ‘“spread-eaglo " talk about the glory, and power, and wealth of France; and I believe a death- pennlty was added, shonld his’ patriotism ooze out, and ho refuse to tako them, Nevertholoss, ho did refuse, and the inevitable orash arrived. Prior to the orash, an old fishwoman eold 120,000 francs worth of fish io o single day, a hackney- driver received 5,000 francs. for & short drive on the boulevards, and p modorate lunoh at a cafo cost 8,000 francs. Evorything was booming, business was stimuluted, and the Iufiltionh{l must havo been in high glee. A fow Americaos aro still alivowhose memorles almost roach back to similar times in the history of our own country, when s whoelbarrow full of COontinental currency would hardly buy a return load of flour, There was & song sung in olden times that * Uncle Sam was rich_ enough to buy every man & farm ;" it should bo changed now to “Give overy sman his jill of greenbnaks." Motnphorically 8poaking, it may come true, The ory that *Wa have not currency enough,” is well auswerod in a recont 'speoch of the Hon, Alox- andor Mitohell, in which he statos that England has only £66,000,000 of papor money afloat, whilo her commorcial transuctions largely exceod ours with $800,000,000. Yet tho rates of interest in Englaod do not average 834 per cent ; and the inflationists in this countiy are clamorous for more currency s as to choapon monay, - As to the inflationists’ money boing the * peo- R;l?'s money," lot us inquita into it.

It hLas always been so, and £ do not think things hinvo ohinngod o ma terially but that the samo cousequences swill fol- low at the prosont timo.
