A national paper currency vot Leing redeemablo on de. mnnd in coin, must depreciate, Tho only way of denling with that currency is to fund it on the best possible terms. Tho Govern- ment of the Unitod States, like individusls, should be governed by the ordinary rules of commercial faith.

Probubly tho Baturday meeting of Connty Commissioners, Aldermen, and othor officinls reprosenting that distinction without a differ. enco known as county and city, did the wisest thing nuder the circumstances in sim. ply instructing the two architosts, Messrs, Trrey and Eoan, to mako some offort to har. monize thelr plans and report the result to auother weating to be held to.morrow, The folly of mnking nny effort nt agrecing on plans between two large bodica like the Com. mon Council, consistiug of forty moembers, ond the Connty Boand, consisting of fifteon meinbers, was fitly illustrated by the jaagle in Saturday's meeting when only a fow mom- bers of ench body woro present.

Senator Fezgy was born in 1832; he gradaated at Yale, and somo time after entered upon tho practice of the law asn profession; was & member of the Btate Benate in 1853 and 1836 ; was State's Attornoy from 1856 to 1850; waa then elected as & momber of the Houso of Ropre- seutatives in the Thirty.sixth Congress, He held the ranka of Colonel and Brigadier Gen- n{nl in the Union army, aud served with Aiatinction and honor. o was clected to the United States Honats as g Republicay in 1836, and re-claoted in 1872, Lis term of sor- vice explring in 1879, Although a Itepubli- can, Mr. Frry wos returned to the Bonate by the aid of Demooratio votes, and since 1372 bad actod chiefly with the wnall body of Liberals in the Senuto, Tho Chicago produce markets were rather more aniuinted on Huturday, Mess pork was active and 10@20a per brl higher, closing nt $19.85 sellor the year und $19.50 for Feb. fuary.

The gold collected from customs is paid out nguin, quarterly, by the Govornment ns interost on the puablic debt ; its collection oxtends over the whole year, aud a comparativoly small amount is equal to meet the curront wants of trade for that pur- pone. In caro the Government should fix o doy after which all new contracts would be mads on a apecio basls, there would bo an fncreased uso for gold, and “the supply would adapt it- aelf to tho dernand precisely na it does now, precisely ng it did before tho War, praclsoly o4 it did during the War and has dono ever since, and precisely s it doos iu every other commercinl nation. Wherevgr tho gold in needed, there will the gold speedily and direet. Iy findits way. The incrensed amountof gold needed for n condition of spocie.payments {s, however, grossly exaggerated by our cor. respondent, and generally by the publie. In tha entire foreign trade, including the pay- nent of interest, national and local, the only moncy actually passing to and from is the amount needed to settle balances. Bo in the domestic bnsiness, The payments made in the exchisnga of commoditios 8 almoat wholly * " dono-ssy 92 por cent—by billa of exchange, dmfts, checks, and other tneans for the transfer of credit. But a small 1roportien of monoy is ever handled. In the wily transactions fu trade in Chicago, tha Imyments made through the banks alone fuot up over £20,000,000 a week, or over n thou- sand millions gf dollara n yoar, pald from one to another, through the banks, and not one cent of money is handled, except such sum as enchibank miay hiavo to pay or recieve to set. tlo Ualances with otber baoks, The transac. tions in this city in which payments aro mado by tho trasfer of bank crodits are but an in. dication of how the bisiness of tho wholo country is earricd on. A man in Sun Fran. cisco can deposit hiv check in n bank in that city, and by telograpl pay a debt in London; sud @ wau in London can make paymieats in Bau Prancisco, by the mure employmaent of the cable. The flzing of & day after which the only legg) tender fn payment of new dobts will bo coin, will at onos establish Speolv-paymonts forall futuro busivesw. Tho banks will, of uecessity, put thelr business on the new basis, and in a brief time the bauk circulation wit) adapt itsol! to the mecessity of speciee. dumption. For this condition of affai, every bouk in a sound financial condition will be fully propared. Thore will Lo ny lack of gold either to serve for the oxchunge of cowmodities, or a8 the basis of bank.cred. its, or for any legitiunate purpose of trude etid commeroce, and there will be no more dif- Saulty in finding gold for all proper purposes tbin there ia now in findiog curroncy for the #juge purposs. ‘SlLen, however, when a man guts 8 dollar, be 'will Lave an aotual dollar, result, for the agreement was not considered at all in the final arrangements for the work. Mr. Eoax wns choson County Architect and Mr. Tirrey was chosen City Architeot, and each went to work, as if absolute and su- premo, to draft ontirely new plans, Tho County Bonrd approved Mr. Eoax's without stopping to inquire whethor the city Lad se. copted them or not, and thien let the contret of ita portion. It was only after the news- papers and tho citizens uttered a publie pro- test ogainst this ‘“‘ecloctic” style of archi- tecture, which would locate o building on the public square with ono half higher than the other half, ono half with a dome and the other half withont, one half in the shape of o regular parallelogram aud the otber half with bresks and projections, that the officials on oither side began to bestir themselves, The tax-payors must perforce leavo thia Court-Tlonse building to the general supervis- ion of two separate and distinct bodies, but they may nt least insist upon the observance of tho contract juade and entered into by these two bodies representing the same pio. plo. This contract provides that the buitd- ing to Do jointly oceupied by the city and county shall bo uniform in style. Common sense, common decency, common taste, and tho common interests of tho poople should prompt the City and County Boards to do this in any case, but it is now pretty evident thaz they would not givo these things any consid- eration if they wero not required to do so by tho contract previously rnde on balalf of the people. Even now it is by no menns certain that there will be an agreemont without fore. ing the matter into the courts (where the citi- zens arp certainly prepared to talko it if moces- gary), and, if thero is such an ngreoment, it will not be without n coat to the public in the changes of the fonndation which Granger Hamts is now putting in for tha county. The inrtructions wh'ch the Commission. ers and Aldermon gave {lie two architects on Saturday might have beon more parcmptory with advantags to all concerned. Instead of instracting thom to nttempt n harmonizing of their plans, they ahould have been told curtly cither to report a common planorcomain with thoir resignations ; and they should slso kavo been told that a fallure to do oucor tha other would bo followed by tho dismissal of both. Buch instructions wonld lave brought both architeets to torms, Each wonld jhave met the other in the most concilinting humor, If thero were atill o failure to apxree, tho remedy onght to be, not tho nppointment of a third architect, as Mr, Corviy suggests, who would simply bo another oxpnnse to the tax-payers, and perhaps another -discordant clement, but the appointment of ono archi- teot to take tho place of the two, nnd to rep. rosent both city and county, Thim ja what ought to have boon dono at first, and what should be dono now, unless Messra. Eoaw and Trrrzr show o disposition to gerve the publio Interest and abide by tho contract o build in a uniforz: style. The County Com- misaloners and Aldermen must rersembar that they represent virtually the snme people, and that the tax-payers of Chicago pay for all of tho city’s half and four-@fths of the county's half. There is no cishing of in- terests, theroforo, excopt as belween the two Boards and the two architects 3 S ———— THE DENOUBATIC HGUBE, The new Housa of Rapres:ntatives will Laven Democratio majority.

It is tho first time they havo bad au opportunity to dictate, blustor, and crack the whip, for this fifteen Yyeard ormore, and the dictation, blustering, and whip-crack. ing, have already commencerd. Tho bullying of tho ex-slavoholder, tho bombast of the chivalry, and the assumptions of tho Southern gentlemen ngainst the Northorn mudsill, are Just as apporent now ay ¢hoy wero in tho palmy days of slavory, Nimerous outcrop- plngs of this spirit have nppeared since the fall eloctions of 1874, notatdy in such influen. tial papors ng the New Orlemns Bulletin and Vicksburg Jferald, in the Simts elections this fall in the South, in stump speechies, 1n col- logo orations, and upon numerous other ocear slons, showing that thew is a procon. corted detormination wpon the part ot tho Houthorn Demmcrasy to take possession of tho Touse, to diotate who shall be Bpeaker, and theresby capture the impor- tant committees, and then to diotate the policy of the House. Among those who have put in their clalms to offlce is Bensaraw G. Hannus, of Maryland, a notorions Bour- bon aud tfire.eator, who arrogantly demands to be mado Horgennt-at-Army, Ho has stated very explicitly the remions why ho should hava the offico, and hoe states them with n dugree of frankness and bluntness that showa be {a awaro what the teraper und tone of thw new Houso will be, In his circular to Dewo. cratle Cougresamon Le sets forth that for thirty-five yeara ho bas ‘been an uncownpro- mixing Domoarat, and has alwaysbesn Gructo the party, not following it *into that mis- chievous line of policy * which led ‘{0 the uceoptanco of Grealoylsm in 1872,” nar follow- ing Nortliorn War Demwoerats in tholx opposi. tion to Stato Rights in the War of the Rebell. ion.

Hannts or his prayers, notwithatanding the regrot Mr, Benaastx C, Hangs has that God did not follow his ad- vice. The declaration, however, is in koop- ing with the general sssmmptions of the av- erage Houthern Bourbon, and, in view of theso pssumptions, it becomes intoresting to know what the Northern Democrats are going Yo do abont it,—whether they will riso upand manfully defy the fire-caters, or whother thay will bare thelr backs to the whip and meoldy Toceivo the umiting, as they have done in yoars post. The Southern Bourbons whipped the Northern Democrats into the defonse of ulam ery nnd Btato Rights, and whipped them into opposition to the North during the War of the Rebellion, Will they now sucoved in whipping them into an acknowledgmont of the right of secession, with nil that that acknowledgment implies, such as pay- ment of robel debts and indemnification for the loss of slaves? Tho outlookis not en- couraging to the assumption somatinyes mado that tho mission of the Ropublican party is at an end. There is moro womk to) do, and Mr, Harzis may sgain have %o mgrot that God hos not followed his ndvico. ‘“LE JOUR DES MOR78."
