SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. The National Currency. Wasminatox, Dec. 24, 1866. The Comptroller of the Currency thinks ‘the power of seeuing notes to circulate as money is too dangerous to be placed at the mercy of political parties in a govern- ment like ours,’ and therefore he is opposed to the United States notes-as the currency of the country; and he thinks that the national banks are in direct sympathy with trade, and therefore their currency will contract and expand as trade requires; in other words, he thinks that the bank currency wil! be amenable to the laws of trade, while the government issues will not. But what laws of trade Lave controlled the issues of national bank paper for the last two years? What has tho mode and manner of their issues, but the sup} in- terest and greed of their proprietors? Of the 1,647 banks, with an Ce pad rock in capital of $418,000, 000, there are but 200,000 holders; ard out of these the management of the banks Is intrusted to less than 10,000 ‘persons, or to about six persons on an avé to cach bank; and of these last, one or two in each bank will control the entire operations of the concern. Now, is there not scme danger of thoee few men, by com! with one another, wielding a power which ahali make aad unmake parties? Could not such a combination, by concert of action im their policy = contraction and expansion, without regard the demands of trado or to the Interests of the renin, affect the values of all property in the op iag A, an make and unmake the fortunes of thousands? And is there not some danger to the community io ie snch ab immense machine subject to the supervision of but he Comptroiier of the Currency? May not -aprice, the ambition, or the avarice of one man be rolled by influences detrimental to the public good? the power to appomt a receiver, whenever in the discretion of the Comptroller he may think the bank has Violated the provisions of the law, be must hold a power over them, and through them ove pecuniary inter. ests of the country which few m er held. Now, if this gentleman was not subject to the ordinary ibormities of human nature; if he had ao friends to reward nor enemies to punish’, if he were connected with ho party and not subject to the influence of anything but the demands of a strict and impartial justice under the jaw: if bo had no ambition to become rich or to wield b's power 'o the advantage of his friends or to the detri- ment of bis enemies, there might be little or no danger in the system, Hut, constitated as homan nature i, there mist be some’ provision for watching the Comp- troller while be is watching the banks, With the United States notes as currency the power to increase or diminish the volame ted by law openly made, and known © party is engaged in ‘enacting the ww party tan give potles of the contemp! id warn the public of the impending danger, If there ie any, But @ combination of national bank direc. tors, their plans, can devise and execute their expansions and ith a Comptroiier of the Currency favorable to contractions in secret, and the execution of them may be made to surprise the public ike n clap of thunder from a cloudiess sky.
