We have been informed through our Wash- ington correspondence that Mr. McCulloch is so intently engaged in preparing his annual re- port to Congress that he has transferred his other duties to his assistant, Mr. Chandler, who will be Acting Secretary of the Treasury for the time being. We are glad to see Mr. Mec- Culloch engaged so earnestly; for there never -was in the history of this country, and perhaps of any other, such important labor for a man in his position to perform; that is if he compre- the duties of his situation. He has made ‘mistakes heretofore through not having a com- 'prehensive, statesmanlike view of national finance, and through conducting the business ‘| of his department as if he were simply man- aging 4 bank for the benefit of a small cor- poration. He began by proclaiming the theory of the old British bullionists—the speedy re- sumption of specie payments, without any re- gard tothe disastrous experience of England under the application of that theory or to our own peculiar circumstances, Whether infiu- enced or not by the bondholders, whose power lies mainly in the national banks and whose active agents are sueh money traders and qpeculators as Jay Cooke & Co., we cannot say; but it is certain his financial policy was in favor of that class, while its tendency was to ruin everybody else, Fortunately, however, he learned afterwards that the views he enun- clated in public were not practicable, and in time he ceased to urge them. Another mis- take he made was in allowing himself to be controlled or humbugged by the gold specu- lators, when he foolishly attempted to reduce the premium on gold by selling a large amount out of the Treasury. This, as every one knows, caused for a time great fluctuations in the market, stimulated gold and stock gam- bling and sériously disarranged the business of the country, and then, at Iast, the premium rose again to the old rate, after the bullion traders of Europe had drawn away the amount he threw upon the market. We have reason to hope, however, that he learned wisdom by this experience; for he has not repeated the foolish act since. But we have something against Mr. McCul- loch for his sins of omission as well as blame for those he has committed. As the finance minister of the républic it was his duty to in- sugurate measures to raise the credit of the government, to give usa uniform and steady currency, to break up the infamous and dangerous national bank monopoly estab- lished by Mr, Chase and to provide for a per- manent sinking fund to liquidate the national dobt in a progressive and safe manner. These things he has not done. Still he may be edu- cating himselfup to these great statesmanlike measures. Tt is not too late to commence upon them, and we hope his next report will give us a higher opinion of his ability than his previous official acts have given. Firat, the Secretary ough pate all false views pectarions about pans A apecie pay- ments. The “on tg Richmond” cry of our contem, ‘and the politicians in Washing- ton ip part Of the War was not @ bit more ridiculous and impracticable than the ery of on to speedy resumption made now by the same class of visionary theorists, The at- tempt to carry out their ries about apecie payments would be as disastrous as were those with regard to the war. The unparalleled resources of the country, their great and con- stant increase and the wonderful progress of business from year to year will soon absorb more than the present volume of currency. We shall grow up, as we have said repeatedly, to specie payments within as short a time as it will be safe or healthful to come to that. The great thing for the Secretary to attend to, as far as the functions of his office go, ts to keep the ourrency—the circulating medium—as steady as possible, and to avoid violont fluctu- ations, so as not to disturb existing values or the business of the country, Specie is an article of commerce the same as grain, corn or cotton ; the currency is not, and it fs of little conse. quence whether gold be worth fifty per cent premium of at par with paper 90 long as all business, all values and all contracts be based on a steady and safe paper curroncy. The gurrency should be uniform and based direotiy wpon the credit of the governmont, not indircotly, as is that of the national banks, 1 Wo ghould have nothing but legal tenders, all Blac 6 9 of one character though of different denomina- tions. Banks, under proper regulations, might use these for their circulation. The people would have perfect confidence in them. There would be no powerful banking monopoly like tbat of the national banks, The government would save tweaty millions a year or more by issuing legal tenders in place of the national bank currency; for it would buy up the interest bearing bonds now deposited by the banks as security for their issue, and the country would have a better and more reliable currency. The Secretary should recommend Congress by all means to take measures to legislate the national banks out of existence. Independent of these banks having the profits of a ciroula- tion which the government ought to take for the benefit of the people, they are dangerous to the industry and political institutions of the re- public. In time they would absorb and con- trol all the profits of labor and trade and be the most dangerous political maoliine ever conceived. He should also lay down a plan for con- solidating the debt in one form bearing « uni- form interest. This interest ought not to be higher than four or five per cent. Four would be better than five. The various forms of the debt, much of which has but a short time to run, could be bought up by long time bonds at this rate without a great advance in the market price. Besides, it is no more than just to the people— the taxpayers—that the interest should be re- duced. There is no good reason why they should pay to the bondholders double the amount or more than those bondholders paid for the debt. This would have the effect of keeping our bonds at home and preventing a drain of gold to pay the interest abroad. Then we should establish a permanent and invidlable sinking fund to liquidate the whole debt within a reasonable and given time. This would inspire confidence, prevent a moneyed oligarchy from controlling the destinies of the republic and set our hands free, with the highest credit and most abundant means, to defy the whole world, if our honor and inte- rests should call apon us to do go. In the meantime our superabundant revenue can be reduced. Nearly half the present taxes may be taken off. The duties wh'ch are now bearing so heavily upon the agriculturists and the general industry of the country and en- riching enormously a few manufacturers, ought to be reduced at once. A rigid economy in every department of the government should be enforced; for this will lessen our taxes; and nothing tends more to presorve the virtue of 8 nation. These are the important questions, over- shadowing all others, which Mr. McCuHoch, if he has any claim to statesmanship, will take up and elucidate in his annual report to Con- gress. We hope he may have the capacity and will use it, not for the benefit of a class or section, nor with a narrow view to the pre- sent time only, but looking to the future wel- fare of the whole country. The Lesson of the Election—A Chance for Mu- nicipal Reform. The taxpayers and respectable citizens of New York have been sensible of the fact for the past ten years, that their city has been gov- erned by one of the most corrupt combinations ever formed for public plunder. They have seen their taxation increased (o twenty millions annually and the money squandered on elec- tions to perpetuate the power of the plunderers or dealt out at Albany to defeat measures of reform. They have applied to the Legislature for relief; but it has been doled out to them sparingly, and then only when the prospect of party advantage or profit has proved stronger than the officeholder’s bribe. They have sought the aid of the Executive of the State; ‘but for some reason or other the investigations that have been undertaken have been suffered to die ont without any result. When the cbar- | ter elections have come round the friends of reform have talked all these matters over and have made very wise resolutions within themselves and published very lengthy reso- lutions in the papers, which, if carried into effect, would have disposed long since of the men who have been thus preying upon the city, But at the polls there has been no concerted action on the part of the reformers, and they have been swept aside by the power of party machinery and corrupt bargains until they have almost despaired of success, The recent election enables them to see daylight at last. It shows them that the “ring” which they thought so powerful has in fact no atrength at all. It proves to them with what certainty they can snatch the city government out of the hands of the corrupt men who have so long held it in their grasp at the next char- ter election. The vote on Register shows the whole combined strength of the two organizations that have thus far managed, by trading and bargaining, to keep the Boards of Aldermen and Councilmen and the city departments in their own bands. —d Jobn McCool was the representa rit sake te Mogart.- Teatted by tage By an a oh with Fernando io W008, througis Which the candidates of the “ring” were to receive the Mozart support in December. Both Organizations exerted their utmost efforts to secure his election, and he received forty-four thousand votes out ef a poll of one hundred and thirteen thonsind, oF about one-third of the whole vote cast, It is uneertain how many of these forty- four thousand votes belong to Mozart and how many to the Tammany rump; but as Mozart claims always to have shown the great. est numbers on a direct issue with her old rival, it would appear that we reached the limit of Tammany’s present strength in the city when we placed it at twenty thousand. This, then, is the party that stands between the respectable citizens and an honest muni- cipal government. If New York fails now to dispose of the Corporation “ring” she deserves to continue to be one of the worst governed and best plundered cities in the Union. It is only necessary for the people to put in nomi- nation good men and to vote for them as steadily as they did for “Miles O'Reilly,” and the victory is won. They have no occasion now to go to the jobbing State Legislature or the sleepy Executive for relief. They can fight and win the battle themselves In Decom- ber, and If they faii to do so}they will have no tight to cry out for aid from abroad. Let them elect honest officials in place of the batch of “ring” men who go ont of office this yoar, and next year they can complete their work end dispose of the balance, (row Mavor down. ga The Partisan Prese a Public Nuisance. of the city dance to a party tune. The riots in New Orleans and the threat- ened trouble in Baltimore afforded evidence of the length to which partisan organs will suffer their zeal or their prejudice to lead them. A radical paper could see nothing to condemn in the action of radical Police Com- missioners who defied the law and implied their willingness to accept the assistance of bands of armed men to aid them in resisting the authority of the Governor of their State. A copperhead paper had nothing but approval for copperhead rioters who announced their determination to shoot down any officers who might attempt to enforce a law objectionable to them. In every instance the true issue was concealed or distorted to meet the views of the interested party, and the feelings of the people all over the country were excited by falsely see statements or direct untraths. The coarse personal abuse in which the par- tisan journals indulge cannot fail to have a de- moralizing effect upon the community. During every election this evil exists in a greater or less degree, and it has recently taken a more offensive character than usual by making the highest officer in the nation the subject of the . most scurrilous and vulgar attacks, Journals assuming to be respectable have time and again denounced the President and some of his Cabinet as drunkards, and have talked about the “infamous orgies of'th> White House” as it they had any existence except in their own depraved imaginations. A radical organ laying claim to be regarded as a “family paper” recently declared that Mr. Hoffman, the’ copperhead rump candidate for Governor, was “ shoulder and glove with all the lobby thicves, gutter vagabonds and blear-eyed scoundrels of New York city.” A copperhead Tump organ in this city, on the other hand, which was started first as a religious paper and subsequently as a “neutral,” was equally scurrilous in, its assaults upon the republican candidate for Governor. Indeed, if we are to credit one- half that appears in the partisan pross on either side, we must set down all our public men as among the basest and lowest of the human race. It is this licentiousness of the public press that unloosens the tongues of the stump orators and incites them to emulate the indecent language of their journalists. They find their rantings published with zest by their party organs and welcomed the more heartily in proportion to their extravagance and violence. One orator recently declared that the govern- ment at Washington was now carried on “by two drunkards and a lewd woman,” and equally indecent language has marked the speeches of Ben Butler, Jack Hamilton, Carl Schurz, Wise, of Virginia, and politicians of a similar stamp all over the country. If such men found that their vulgarity and violence offended their audiences and met general re- buke from the press they would soon change their tone and eithor use tho language of gen- tlemen or cease talking altogether, which would be a great public blessing. The evil of which we complain seems to be ‘contagious. Nearly every party journal starts out with su avowed determination to behave itself in a respectable manner and not to offend public decency. But, like new hotels that aro resolved to be superior to any that have ever been kept before, and new perfumes that are bent upon surpassing all the scents that have hitherto been discovered, they soon find their level and sink down to the grade of ordinary partisan organs. The evil, however, is bring- ing on its own punishment. Political _ party journals are fast losing all reputation as news- papers, and are never referred to for facts. Their circulation is becoming limited to those who hold similar polftical views and _politi- cians of the opposite slde who desire to ascer- tain what falsehoods their opponents are telling. The people are beginning to understand that to the independent press alone they can look for facta and for a fair and dispassionate dis- cussion of the great issues that are before the country. Asx Opposrmion Conoress—Tue Scunmn Sqvstcuzp.—Some two months ago there ap- peared a foolish editorial in the principal New York organ of Mr. Seward, hinting very broadly atan opposition Congress to the pregent gr- gaBtzatics. The plan fn said editorial was dis- tinctly foreshadowed, but the experiment de- pended upon certain results considered proba- ble from the Northern Oot beh November elections. If from these elec § suficient Bumber of oy and co-operating vativgs to make up in the United States ina Sena with the [addition of all the excluded States, & majority, this majority was to set itself up as the Senate; and with the House of Representatives organized in the same way there would be an opposition Con- gfém actually representing in each House the decisive of a full Congress.

But the late elections have settled the question the other way in the Senate, Count- ing all the States, the Senate embraces seventy- two members, a majority of which is thirty- seven; and as in that body the republicans have secured forty-two members for the next Congress, the schome of an opposition Senate, to be made up with the addition of the oxcluded States, is effectually squelohed. Tho wbsurd {don, therefore, of © possible coup d'état of the character indicated must now be utterly aban- doned in view of this matority of 9 full Senate “NOVEMBER 9, 1866. of Christendom permit them to be sacrificed from political considerations. Neither being eo-religionists of the Christian nations of Europe nor their heroism can bring them aid. The days of Christian chivalry and enthusiasm are gone. Even the cause of liberty and civili- gation is subordinate to what is termed politi- cal necessity and the ambition of monarchs and nations. The Candians and all the Greek Christians of the Ottoman empire in Europe must wait for their redemption till some mighty struggle in the Bast drives the Mahome- tan power from that part of the world. Tue Srate ELEctION aND THE Funtans.—The “ring” papers are endeavoring to show that Fenton’s election is due-to the votes of the Fenians along the lines of the canal and rail- roads. This is absurd. We do not believe that the Fenians voted as an organization at all, no matter what efforts the head of that body might have made to sell its vote to the politicians. No doubt the Fenian Irishmen voted according to their instincts, with the conservative side, as they have always voted. the interior of the Stat2, where Mr, Fenton’s rish origin is known, that fact might have had some weight in his favor with Irish citizens; but it was the constitutional amendment which carried Fenton through.. His views upon that national issue overshadowed all minor ques- tions, and had not the liquor influence been against him his position on the constitutional amendment would have gathered in a far larger majority. It was that, and neither the Fenian vote nor any defection in the dem- ocratic party, that elected him. MEXICO. ‘QUA MAVANA CORRESPONDENCE. Maxiuwilian’s Chamberlain in Havans. Havana, Noy. 3, 1368.
