It ent seareely have escaped notice that the President fn’ his message nd- Hered to the theory that the greenbacks ought to be demonetized, while the Seere- inry abandoned it in his reportyby making no reference to. the subject: except in the! way of genoral .culogy of tho currency system, ‘The reason for this fs, that Seeretary Sherman «is tooking forward ton future polltleal carcer, and has presumably satisiied Iiinself that iis ambl- tion of Inst summer would have been greatly aided, though probably never realized, it he had not conformed in hls preceding annual teport to the Presidential but wmpopular notlon in favor of repealing tho legal-tender: quality of the greenbacks, Had Seeretary Sherman gone still further this year, and abandoned lls futtte and fdotish antagontsin fo the standard silver dollar, he would have save himself tho humflintion of the pointed neglect and general indifference. which the proposition has encountered, The vreponderating sentiment in both Honses of Congress seems to bo in favor ot letting slong Doth the standard silver dottar and the greenbnek, so fir at lenst as their pres- ent character and quality areconeerned, ‘The number of people m thls enuntry who would ilke to reduce the debt-paying money to gobi alone isnow adiitted on all sides to be al- most fifiattesimal as compared with the whole population, and ibis in the highest de- gree Improbable, now that the question has been widely discussed and is generally understood, that any efforts, wilt be mite to eater to the selfish inter. ests of the few. Any disturbances of the present monetary system wil be resisted by so many in both parttes and -from all sec- tions that the goldites appear to have given up the fight. International agreement upon “]:the monelary ratio of silver and gold ts Isokeil forward to by the most intelligent men amang all shades of -opinton on tho subject 13 tho ultinate solution of tne silver cauiestion, and many of those who formerly antarunized the restorattoh of silver to the American monetary system now concede that enlargement of the Amerienn silver coin, whieti. is nlresdy heavier than tho silver coin of any other nation, woutld retard and embarrnss tho work of in- ternational agreement. ‘There is only one ehnnge that is utalttikely to be made, and this wlll not affect the volume or relative current value of the enrrency. Senator Hill, of Colorado, has a proposition to retire the notes of the denominations of 31 and $2 In proportion to the future coinage of standard silver wuder te present law, contemplating that ultimately: there shall be no notes of smmiticr denomination than $5, ‘Che theory of this propésition is, that tho sll- yer dollars will rapidly come into genertl. elreulntion when the © sinall notes disappear. This tsin the tue of tho recommendation made by Mr. Burchard, the Director of the Mint, gnitit Is the practice of all other specie-paying countries, Senator AM thinks his bill can pass the Senate, and In thatense there is little doubt that the House will concur, ‘The silver men gener- ally will favor tf, Z It is not diflictilt to understand tho reason for the genéral content with tho present monetary, system. Tho amount of eur reney’ outside of tho gold and silver atandard coin now . in aetual — cir- culation is over $700,000,000, and has avalue exactly equivalent to its face, and vastly larger than the valuo of the currency which amounted to '$200,000,000 more on its face, and then there was neither gold nor silver In cirenlation, In other words, money was nover so plenty in this country, and never before of the snmie standard and uni- form yaluo throughout. If may be safely predicted that no eifort will be made in either House of Congress to experiment or tamper with thls condition of things, and any indi- yidunl or faction that shall have the temerity to muke such an effort will mect with instant and humilating defeat. ‘Tho fate that has attended the official suggestions made by tha President and Secretary of the Treasury in regard to greenbacks and silver ought to warn tho other theorists to desist, and prob- ably wil have just that effect, REFUNDING THE DEBT, 'Tho action of Congress on the bill author- izing the funding of the outstanding & nnd 6 per cent bonds will probably discloso a greater variance of oplnion among tho mom- bers than ought naturally to exist on such o question, ‘Tha Governinent owes sume $650,000,000 of bonds bearing 5 and 6 per cent Interest. It is proposed to substitute for those other bonds bearing 8 or 33g per cent. ‘Tho wisdom and econgmy of thls policy ought to bo obylons to every person, There is; however, « cpnilict of optnton on this subject, and that too among men who are not influenced or controlled by tho grean- back delusion, Among those opposing tho Issuo of tls thirty-yeur 3 per cent bond will be found those who support tho policy of paylng off the debt as rapidly as posslble, and of mualutaining taxation without redie- tion for that purpose. ‘Tho burden of a publle debt ismensured by the Interest tax whieh it imposes upon the people; If It bore no Intorest it would not bo felt at all, and it would ba no burden, When tho rate of Interest on tho dobipis less than tho valueof money In the hands of the people, then taxation for the purpose of paylng olf the prinelpal of the debt becomes more or less 1 oppression, Among those statesmen who are special champlons of the “National honor,” and who think the wisdom of our funnelnl polley Is measured by the amount of tho Natlonal debt unnunlly purchased by the proceeds of taxation, this theory of paying | olf the public debt in largo and inervasing annul Installments Is strongly supported, ‘This class of finanelers will probably oppose any thirty-year bond, aver at 8 per cont, but wlll insist upon Ussubig short paper which may be taken up in annual.

Howard has been a con- sistent friend of tho colored raco ever since he has been isan. All the cheap flings nt hint on account of the Freedman’s Bank fallure, "for which he was not in tho slightest degree responsible, will not obscure this fact. Nor will his reputationas asoldier be diminished or tarnished by slur- ring atlusions to his religious opinions, If he is what he is beeause he Is a Christinn, then many Americnn effizens will induige tho hope that other officers of the army may attend his sanctuary, llo will enforee tho Jaws and tho regulations of tho West Point Academy linpardally, No boy will le turned away from there beeauso his skin {3 not cole ored ke his own, nor excused for flagrant. disobedionee because he is white, Both races will be puton an equality, so far as tho discIpling of tho Academy goes, from the monient ho asses command; and, If he cannot keep them there, he will not stay to seo either of them wronged.
