Scme force is likely to be given to the affirmative of this question from such il, justrations of the complicated nature of the Greek language as are set forth im Richard Grant White's article in the last Galazy. And ‘Mr. White is not making a raid upon the stady | of Greek, but his reference to that language | comes up incidentally in comparing it to | what he calls «the grammariess tongue,” the English language. Summing up the indict- ment against the Greek Ianguage for school use, it may be said that in it the verb has three voices, five moods, snd two aorists, and nine persons for every tense; ail the nouns have three numbers, and each noun a gender of its ow; Andevery adjective and participle three genders and six cases, a copiousness of inflec- tiom possessed by the very articles, definite and | indefinite. The Greek verb nas for the expres. sion of the various moods and times of acting and suffering by various persons, more than | five bundred inflections; and these inflections | 80 Modify, by processes called augmentation | &nd reduplication, poth the beginning and | the end of the verb, that to the unimstracted eye it passes beyond recognition. Each person | of each case bas its peculiar significant form or imflection. every one of which must be learned | by heart. It is little wonder that boys regard Greek as am invention of the euemy of man- kind. The French language is notably abun. | dant in inflection. baving. according to Max Maller, tbre- hundred different ———— for the simple cases of the ten regular Mju. | gations, one thousand seven hundred and | fifty-five for the thirty-nine irregniar conju- | gations, and two hundred for the auxiliary verbs_making 3 sum total of two thousand one bundred and sixty-five terminations, which must be learned by Beart. Bet the verbs of the | Greek language have in all more than ten | times this number o* changes in form And this complication, so tar from being an element | ft its power, is a sign ot rudeness and a rem. nant of barbarism. The Greek and Latin Author were great, not by reason of the verbal forms sad the grammatical structure of their | iangonges, but in spite of them. And here is | one difference betweer. the English and the | ancient classic tongues. The great writers of (be latter were, and, it would seem, must needs bave been, men of bigh culture, grammarians om the ancient sense of the term: but some of | the best English that has been written is the | simple, strong utterance of ignorant men, en- tirely undisciplined in the use of language, Present indications, in the opinion of the | New York Express, warrant the expectation of & prosperous spring trade, aud an early commencement of it. The causes tha’ serve to | quicken business in New York have the same influence toa certain extent in improving bus- ies? im Washington. The winter, inns far, has been remarkably mild, and as the first of February is near at band. we may reasonably conciude that we are to work through the re- maizder of the season without any unusually | severe cold weatber. This will insure an | early resumption of navication, an event which is always a recognized starting point for new activities in commerce and trade. The West. ern States, notwithstanding the recent money pimeh, and the heavy losses resulting from speculative operations in breadstuffs, are ina condition to be profitable customers in the Eastern markets. During the past year, they | bave been paying off a good many bad debts, and have shown a commendable disposition to contract but few new ones. The South, too, is rapidly coming up out of the siough of des- pond, aud has the prospect of a good many millions of very hard cash in hand, as the re- sult of bountiful cetton crop. This bas been an exceedingly dull business winter in Wash- ington, but we sball hope to share in the gen- eral revival of business promised in the spring. The Washington correspondent of the Balti- more Sun says « Itis stated that the Committee on District of Columbis affairs in tbe termined to report » bili pioyment of copyiet in dredging ang clesnin= cut the Wasbingtor canal and in im- proving the Potomac river.” This is an excellent idea,—ant, by (he -way, was Brst broached in the columns of the Sraw. ‘The lavor of these convicts can be utilizes in the most advantageous manner, snd a vast deal of important work done at a trifling cost— work that otherwise wili remain undone for a long time to come.

Conclusion of Yesterday's Pregeedings. SENaTE.— After our report ee Fs. the Funding bill being ander ration — ‘Mr. Sherman proceeded with bipable speech on the finances. He first dwelt the gens- ral principle that gold and silver are the only practical standards cf value, and that paper money (#0 called) is 8 proper suds nea based as values or sound credits in the extreme necessities of the nation. such as were precipi- tated upon Us daring the late civil war, and upen England im her struggle of a generation the great Napoleon,and then said: What- ever theorists may suggest, however sugar- coated the remedy may be, there is but one test ofs healthy paper oo 8nd thatisits con- fapieye ng demand gold coin. ‘If, then. gold only is to be the true standard of money, why shall we got commence our financial measures by Testoring itto its place asa legal standard of bony Why not allow our citizeas to base thetr future contracts on gold. Why not enforce these contracts im the eourts as legal and valid! The daily transactions in gold in New York often smount to $10,000,000. On the Pacific slope gold is the only standard of value. We cannot alter this, if we would. Why not rec- ognize the fact, legalize these contracts, and conform our measures to the gradual adjust- ment of existing contracts, mcluding paper money, to the standard of gold! Let us recog- nize ihe general principle that it is wiser and more in accordance with the spirit of our Gov- ernment to leave this adjustment to the volun- tary contracts of the people, rather than under- take it by the arbitrary rules ot’iaw. 1f our people are left free, they can do this injury to the debtor or creditor, without con- fiscation of property, and without any change im the intrinsic value of property. For these reasons the Committee of Finance regard the first section of this bill, which legalizes gold contracts, as an indispensable preliminary to any plan for appreciating our currency to gold He then Teplied to Senator Morton’s objec- tions to that section of the bill, and reterring to the question as to the legal tender act, he said: “it may be that the eme Uourt will deny the validity of the legal tender act, or limit its operation to existing contracts made since its passage. pject currency contracts to enforcement in coin. Is it not wiser to bridge over this uncertainty by authorizing the adjust. ment of this matter between the creditor and the debtor? Again, sir, the law as it now stands is productive of injustice. You require nearly one-baif of vour taxes to be paid in gold, and yet you will not enforce a contract by which the merchant buys the gold for you. ee, ana merchandise can only be bought ix gold, ard yet if pi delivered upon a promise to pay i gol not be enforced. Gross and palpable injustice may be done in a maititnde of transactions, necessarily gold, by appealing to tue legal tender act. I conclude, then, this branch of the subject by the earnest opinion that it was good policy three years ago, and it is & good policy now to allow all parties to stipulate the time and the amount and the medium of payment, subject to the general isws of fraud. usury, aud force.” Free trade in domestic productions, liberty to contract and be contracted with, has pever been restrained before. Let us restore wese Tights, and having also provided a paper rep- Tesentative of the coin in the Treasury of the United States, and a bank currency converta- ble into gold and founded upon the highest se- eurities, jet us pow deal with the mach more difficult question—the appreciation of the present currency 10 the standard of gold. If this que: ‘ion affected alone the Government of | the Unttec States, we might resumespecie pay- ments very soon: sooner even than the Senator from Mossschusetis (Mr. Sumner) proposes. By tunojyg poruion of the United States notes; by Tequiring the banks to maintain their fuil reserves in tenders; » the three per cent. certificates: and by the use of the gold in the Treasury, we could resume atonce. This process might increase the bond dred million dollars, and the interest five m lion dollars, but our revenues are ample in gold to pay ibis increased interest, and the act- usi -aving im the current expenses of the Gov- err ent, by the reduction of prices to the gold st:uaare. would bedouble and perhaps guad- Tuple the iereased interest. ‘The body of our expenditures being the in- terest of the public debt, is now payable in gold, and its burden is not increased by specie yMents, while (be savings im expenditare, wd the palpable saving by the funding of the debt at a lower interest, would largely excred Any mterest we would have to pay on uotes ‘withdrawn from circulation. And if the bur- deu of resumption fell alone upon the national banks, the task would be an easy one. Their securities deposited with the Treasurer of the United States are now nearly eqaal in gold to the amount of theircireulauon. A call under the banking act of ten per centum additional security could beeasily met by the great body of them. and thus enable them to resume when- ever the United States is prepared to resume Their profiis in the past have been larze. Those not now strong enough ‘o perform the great object of their dganization—uamely, to furnish a uniform currency, convertible into gold—tmay weil give way to other banks ready to take their places. Mercbants, dealers, traders and bankers will be affected by sn appreciation of the currency, precisely as their debts and credits bear to each other. If they owe more than they can Promptly collect on debts due to them, they must lose to the full extent oi the appreciation, and they must make their loss good by a sale of @ part of their property at reduced prices, or by contracting new debts to be paid in an ap- preciated currency. As a general rule, any appreciation of currency is myurious to ali these classes. for they are generally in debt, and even where ehougb is due them to pay with, yet the delay in payment, or the fatlare of their debtors, almost always embarrass them. Commercial and banking usage com- pels prompthess, so that a merchant or a ker, however provident he may be, is often compelled to sacrifice his asses to mect a sud- n of the currency. caused by ar appreciation of the currency falls mainly ou \be debtor class, Others suifer only by reason of bis inability to pay. What does specie payment mean toa debtor! It means the payment of one ban- dred snd thirty-five dollars where ne bas agreed to pay one bundred dollars, or, which is the -ame thing, the payment of one hundred dollars where be bas agreed to pay seventy. four. Where he bas purchased property and psid one-fourth of it, it means the loss of the Property. It means the addition of one-fourth to all currency debts in the United States. A measure to require a debtor now to pay his vebt ip gold, or currency equivalent to gold, requires him to pay one hundred and thirty- five bushels of wheat where he to pay one hundred; and if this appreciation 1s ex- tended through a period of three years, it re- quires bim to pay an interest of twelve per cent. im addition to therate he bas agreed te pay. When we consider the enormous indebted- hess of a new country like ours, where capital ig acarce. and where credit has been substi- tuted in the place of capital, it presents a diffi- culty that may well cause us to pause. We chasm must be crossed; but it will make us wary of our footsteps.’ Good pen ay Public policy = —" that we ap- preciate our currency to gol: butim the pro- cess We muet be careful tiat bankraptcy, dis want do not fall — our fello: igations upon romises.
