It waa on the strength of letters written in banking | houses in New York that European journalists so confidently warned their readers of the impemding financial ruin of the federal Union. Several months have elapsed, and our finances—which these authorities pronounced in a hopeless state— are so sound that the present complaint of the bankers is that Mr. Chase will not undertake 1,102,926 Poa 663, “go1 802 1 al 614 asm B.166,056 | 1 negotiate, threugh their instramontality, Total 11 monthe..$40,456,674 2) 616,615 19,095. 540 a 5 per cent loan in the neighborhood of 4.34 pen 2,009,509 | par.

The amount of new Treasury notes which it is now Proposed to issae is $150,000,000. Of these it is proposed to retain $34,000,000 in hand to meet an unexpected deman@ for the return of 4 and & per cent deposits; so that the actual amount to be placed at the disposal of the department will only be $116,000,000. By the acte passed in February last, an issue of $150,000,000 of notes was authorized, mainly to take the place of ourrency which had been dis- creditea by the failure ef banks, by the deoline in border State stocks, and by the withdrawal from circulation of large amounts of specie and of Southern bank notes. But of these $150,000,000 Congress pronounced $60,000,000 to be receivable for custems duties. Of these $60,000,000 some $56,000,000 are atill afloat, and, being equivalent to gold in the payment of duties, are held at 3 a 334 premium, and are consequently withdrawn from circulation. Of the $150,000,000 of currency cre- ated by Congress in February, there is therefore only about $90,000,000 afloat—considerably les, than the amount of the epecie currency withdrawn from circulation, of the Mlinois, Missourl and other bank curreney which has collapsed in oonse- quence of the fall in Southern States stocks, and of the Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana and other Southern bank ourrency which has become worthless by the secession of the States from whence it hailed. There ia in reality at this moment less currency—that is to say money— afloat in the North than there was at the time the war broke out. Mr. Chase now proposes to sup- plement his present issue of $90,000,000 by a further issue of $116,000,000—making in all about $206,000,000 of government currency to be floated. This is probably more than there was in existence in the North before the war. But, in the first place, it must be femembered that the war has had the effect of wiping out of existence all South- ern currencies, and that, as fast as we reconquer States, we have got to supply them with money of some kind or other. At Nashville, for instance, United States Treasury notes are the only money which is freely used in daily business transactions. At New Orleans and Memphis the discredit of Con- federate money has led toa general demand for United States notes, and those active commercial centres will very speedily absorb many mil- lions of United States paper. The same will be the case at Norfolk and all other ports which ere occupied by United States forces. Im the second place, it must always b® borne in mind that the real purpose of the Trea- sury Department was not the floating of legal ten- der notes, but the recognition of six per cent bonds. It is with the proceeds of the latter that the cost of the war must be defrayed. The question is, how could such bonds have been best and most cheaply negotiated? The foreign bankers say to Mr. Chase, ‘‘ You should have followed the Euro" pean example, called for bids, and let us make terms with you.” The Secretary has preferred to inaugurate an Ameriean system. He issues con- vertible paper; issues so much of it that moncy becomes abundant, and stocks rise; and it then becomes an object for the holders of his currency to convert it into bonds. In a short while the sixes of 1881 will sell at 112 a 115, and the 5.20 bonds at a substantial pre- mium. When that is the case, every one who receives a thousand dollars of legal tender cur- rency take it to the Sub-Treasury before three P. M. and convert it into bonds. In this way Mr. Chase will, in effect, be paying the expenses of the war with six per cent five year bonds, negotiated at par, and there will be no inflation of paper money; for as fast as the government currency is paid out it will come back for conversion. He will, in reality, have achieved the result which the bankers now blame him for not aiming at, withont cost to the government, and without placing himself in the hands of the money dealers. Jf he had called for a loan of $100,000,000—enongh to last him for three months—it is doubtful whether he would have had $25,000,000 offered at par. The very men who are now loudest in denouncing him would have refused to subscribe, and would have sought to make terms which would have given them a fat profit. He has relied on his own re- sources, and the result will justify his sagacity, and will prove that there is at least one govern- ment in the world which does not exist by suffer- ance of the bankers and money dealers. That the ultimate result of the present policy of the Treasury Deportment must be the substitution of government money for bank notes throughout the country is obvious enough. Mr. Chase dis covered, when he begsn to cast about him for ways and means, that the government possessed, under the constitution, a power in regard to the issning of paper money which had always lain dor- mant. That it was the intention of the framers of the constitution to secure for the country a uni. form currency at par everywhere, and issued undtr the authority and guarantee of the general government, no one who earefully studies that in” strument can doubt fora moment. Unheppily for the country, the general government had never, unti] the present war broke out, exercised this un- doubted power of supplying the ceurtry with money; and, in its default, the States, which were by the constitution expressly prohibited from is- suing paper money. usurped illegally the right of granting charters to banks of issue. They were perhaps forced to pursue the course they did by the negligence of the general government. Com- Merce required paper moncy, and, if the proper authority would not iseue it, improper authorities were compelled to de ro. The present war and the exigencies of the case haye recalled the fede- ral government to a knowledge of its privileges, if not to a sense of its long neglected dutics to the public, in this respect, and the result is the irsucs of paper money which we are now witnessing. The leading featare of these issues, as we have above remarked, is their convertibility into 6 per cent bonds. This feature operates as a perpetual check and safety valve against an excessive issue of paper. Whenever Mr. Chase sets afloet more paper than the commerce of the country requires: government stecks will riee to ench a premium that conversion will become general, and thus the redundant currency will be called in. Already we notice that the mere talk of a new issue led to an increase of deposita for conversion at the Sub- Treasury at Now York from a duily average o about $125,000 to $516,000 on Friday and $528,000 yesterday.

A very large aggregate amount of State, city and railway bonds has thus passed from foreign to American holders within a few months, and the operation is still proceeding actively. It is » matter of congratulation. It is impossible to exaggerate the mischief which has flowed from our habit of relying upon foreigners fora supply of capital. Henceforth it is to be hoped we shall hear no more of this foolish and injurious practice. We have received the following communication on the subject of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company:— $0 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. PHILADELPHIA, June 12, 1862.
