Wo believe the Legislature of tho Stato is willing te do anything, consistent with the Constitu- tion, that may be asked. Unfortunately, thore is not unity of action or practical effort on the part of thoso who aro charged with tho government of the city, and we regret to say tho spirit of the office-holder is hostile to any radical, permanent relief. Whnt are the marks complained that the city credit lad been damaged by nowspaper statements that the ‘Treasury way empty, and that the leyal methods for collecting tnxes were so defective that the city could not get its revenues, If Mr, Hayes is under the impression thet the newapapers in making these statements con- veyed new or original information to the Nnancial market not previously public, ho is Jnboring under a delusion, ‘I'ho- serip of this city, issued in lick of cash and made neces. sary by tho failura to collect revenno, has for many months been bonght and sold in tho city; is hypotheeated for loans, and has be- come merchandise, Ifthe newspapers have atated as facts anything that is untrue, then the newspapers would gladly correet the state- and that no one wants to seo it maint except Gov, Krinoda and his clique of pet-bay oftice-holders who are living upon the people of Louisiana. The remedy for such a condition of the Stato is plain enough. Ib remains to be seen whether the Republican party in Congress has the wisdom to xottle tho question in the interests of justice, re- gardless of partisan considerations, and to restore the people of Louisiana to their rights by removing this “ gigantic fraud.” RESUMPTION IN ENGLAND, The history of tha Rauk of England's re- sumption of specio payments, after 8 quarter of # century's suspension, suggests both hopo and fenr for the sneeess of our present forth, not one word has bean uttered point- ing ton practien! deliverance of these people from the horrible thraldom in which they are held. ‘ But tirty days of the present session of Congress remain, ‘Lhe Inst hope of there sudering peoplo hangs upon the action of tho present Congress, Let Congress adjourn withont any action looking to the reseno of Louisiana, and the restoration thora of civil government, with Inws and a respectiul obe- dienco to them, and who ean tell what will bo the result during the coming summer ?

The Syndicate, it is understood, agrees positively to tele $25,000,000 more of the & per eent lonn, and holds ao six-months’ op- tion on tho entire romainder, If this statement shall prove to be correct, tho ‘Treasury Department will have an casy way out of the perplexitics created for it by the Currency net lately approved. The situation at present is about this: Sinco the now law went into operation, applications have been made for over $9,000,000 in Nations! Bank ciroulation. Eighty per cent of this amount in greenbacks must be retired as soon as tho demands for bank currency aro satisfied. The Treasury hag not funds available with which to buy greenbacks. ‘The only | woy to get such funds is by the sole of bonds, But tho Sccrotary is forbidden spect, relative to sale. Neither was there any pro- vision relative to due notice of such sale being given. Collector Von Hortun ex- pressed himself as coinciding with the views of Mr. Anaws. §o0 did Ald, Hyatn, who is Chairman of the Finance Committee, This is not, therefore, a cheerful prospect. The Court in 1874 was compelled to re- fuso o judgment for the contested de- linquont taxes of 187%,‘ lovied under the Dili 800. Tho foults and defects of the law are confessed. ‘ho cily, however, had the option to abandon that law, and as- sess tho taxes for 1874 under the general law of the State, which is all-sufiiciont, and un- dor which the property may be sold promptly for delinquent taxes, With a thorough knowledge that under Bill 800 no judgment Commissioner and City Collector, end thera can bo no extrication of the city from its em- barrassments until that law is repealed, and the City Government is compelled to resort to the general law of tho Stato for tho collee- tion of its revenues, THE LOUISIANA TESTIMONY, The statemout of Maj. Lewis Munna and the counter-statemont of Col, Henny A. Monnow, before the Congressional Investi- gation Committee at New Orleans, together with the statements of other witnesses, al- though they clash in many particulars, taken together confirm the previous several state- ments as to tho miserable and deplorable con- dition of the people of that State and their affairs, Both these witnessos are army offtl- cers, both exo Ropublicans, both are personal sixty ounces, upon the presontation of its notes, at the rate of £4 1s, per ounce be- tween Feb, 1 and Oct. 1, 1820; at tho rate of £5198.

On and after May 1, 1828, notes were to be paid an de- mand, no matter how small the amount pre- sented, ‘This plan worked so well that the Bank resumed specie payments some time befaro it was required by law to do ao. Mr. Kasson’s bill directs the Secretary of tho Treasury to redeem greenbacks in gold at the rato of 90 cents, gold, per paper dollar forfour months from Nov. 1, 1875. Every four months thereafter tho discount is to be lessened by one cent, Tho greenbacks would then bo redeemed at tho following rates in gold: city are doomed, Franatiy's grave moy save ono of them, but even this is doubtful.
