Disdaining all mere tecluicalities, they..met the charges fairly aud squarely, discussed them candidly, and upheid them with sigval succed®. ‘Phe principal charges against Col, Belger grew out of thechartering 0! vessels through Mr. Hall, of which the public have beard so much already, and of the purchases of coal, which were stated to be at extravagant rates, and aliempis wero made to prove, by quotations of market prices, that he could have purchased at mach loWer rates As to the ters of vessels, it was clearly shown that the arrangement was made by the War Department, that the prices and terms were fixed at Washington, and that Colonel Belger acted wader orders iu signing the papers, in order to bring them imto proper official form and beyond this he bad nothing to do with the transac tion, and the blame, if any exist, camnot be attributed to hin: As to the purchases of coal, attempts were male to show by testimony of disaypolated competitors tor the business that coal couid have been bonght from them ves at lower rates, and a large bateh o: evidence was bmitted in relation to the market rates at the tine of the purchases. ‘This evidence was very contradictory, and noching could be gathered from it, except shat the price of coal was very unsettled, amt ductuated greatly from day today, aud semetimes even within a few hours.

In 8 previous letter I attempted to show that, as the currents of trade throughout our country were very much deranged, @ larger amount of currency would remain where distributed, and as the government is making Payments to contractors and laborers everywhere, and as taxes to an extent heretofere unknown in our country are Deing Mmposed and collected, that the currency must ne- cessarily be increased four or fivefold. In this paper I will try to show why we should and how we can syste- matically gauge the currency so as to prevent apy serious depreciation in consequence of the quantity. It is well known to all our merchants that the rate of interest on money is always higher at the West and ‘Northwest than 0 is in the seaboard cities, and the con- sequence is all securities that cap be converted into money or bank credit find their way to these cities, with @ cor- tainty as unerring aaa log placed in the Missouri will find ite way to the Gulf of Mexico. ‘The surplus produce of @ portion of the West and North finds its way to New York, and ts sold for shipment or consum| But all the produce and the large outlays by the’ Of the seaboard in railroads and land have not brought about an equilibrium; and, therefore, all notes that are at par in New York and are found in the West in excess will be forwarded to this city. No au plus of the legal tender note, with its universal credit, can remain in excess in a debtor country, any more than & rise of water in the Missouri will remain as loug as there is a descent to the Mississippi. These legal tender notes will gravitate to the seaboard as certainly as the waters of a river. The place to look for an exeess of this legal tender money is not in the Wost or Northwest. We must look for it here in this city, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. there any excess in the banks of these cities? When we speak of excess we mean moro notes than the banks profitably use in their business, Atthis time there is @ groat want of these notes. When not discredited b: croakers or brokers they are preferred by all who require the nse of ik paper, because, besides being a “ @ender,”” they are equally available evorywhere. Of course there can be no excess of these notes while any bank note is found in circulation, These bills are so far preferable as a currency , for the reasons mentioned, than Dank notes, that they will be used on the principle’ that ‘tho better will always be preferred to the worso curren- | ey when the same terms are proposed. These noies, without any tax upon bank uotes, will crowd them out of ciret ‘bofure we cau safely say that there is an ex- cess in our hanks, At this time almost any person who procures « loan from country bank prefers to receive legal tender notes, and jn the city the same thing is manifest, The owners of banks are now, in some cases, trying to depreciate the Nalue/of the greenback to force out their own notes upon the timid aud unpatriotic. As we have said, a surplus of the legal tender note will show Itself first in the banks of | this city. When these notes come in upon them in such | quanti th. their capital and deposit line shall bo Tepresented by them they will be in the same conditi: jas if they had so much gold’ when there ‘was bo | buyer or taker on interest. These banks bet fall, and there being bo more room for circulation, j the bills or notes could not be forced out, and the banks would have to choose between keeping in their vaults a Gurrency that pays no interest or go to the Sub: Treasury and exchaoge these notes for bonds bearing au interest of six per cent, payable in gold. Wheu tne banks find their funds in this coudition they will have to close up their Dusineas or become tellers of goveroment bonds. By this process the Treasury will compel these institutions to become aiders and abetiors ofthe goveroment or stop Dusiness. Auother good eilect would veuting all their capital for them fn these will become sound and evergetic anxius to protect and support she credit aud the whofe united country. When all these banks bave converted their capi. tala into bonds, and become active agents for the Trea- sury in placing these bonds, then we may safely conclude that the governwent have issued a9 much tender as the country requires for tho safe and convenient transac- tion of its business. Up tothe time when those banks ‘are full there wili be no more indication of exeoss than there is ina stream of water until the surplus shal! be #0 stopped or impeded as to throw the stream back upon its source, ‘That this will be the condition of things bere before the close of this war there is 50 Freason to doubt, there ts bo other way that the administration of this gov- ernment will mlopt to enable the Treasury to pay the public creditor. ‘The sale of bonds cannot be effected to any considerable extent, because we bave no capitalists in this country that cum take these bonds. We have rich meu who pees Janded property, bouds of States and companies, &c, ; but to enable them w take government bonds must sell their State and local securities, which would wo large a sacrifice to induce the most jotio rich man ue to venture beyond 4 few millieus; and what ie jilions thurs abeorbed when the governmeut wants iiitous now, and will want several thousand millions before the warcaa be brought to a cloge, unless the taxes are increased to @ sum three tines will not be an adequate amount ip the present state of the country. While the enormous expenditures of the government are paid in greenvacks, and the amount of tax- ation, equal to four or five hundred millions per annum, is to be collected in legal tender notes, it will reqaire more than one thousand millions to produce such an excess as to aBeorb al! the city bank capital in greeabacks or con- vert it into bonds.
