Stocks on Wednesday were strong, with a buoyant tendency in tle aft:rnoon, in sympathy with the ad- vance in gold, There was but one session of the re- galar board and iwo of the open board. At four o'clock the Long oom adjourned over Thanksgiving, but business continued on the sidewalk until five o'clock, when the following quotations were cur- rent:—Canton, 50%;; Pacific Mail, 118 asked; New York Central, 1254 a 120%; Erie, 87% 938; Reading, 99% bid; Milwaukee and St. Paul, 68; Obio and Mis. sissippl, 31%, 2 31),; Michigan Southern, 895; asked; Pittsburg, 8744 a o7 ‘oledg, 9934 @ 100; Northwest- eru, 85; do. preferred, 86% @ 86%.

The excessive specr lation in governments, the frm- ness of and dean’ for exchange created by the or- ders to reship }ouds trom Europe and @ ‘bull’’ movement were the conspiring causes of this ad- vance, There is a feud on the subject of governments ‘between the rival banking houses which ts likely to resuk in a protracted and very interesting contest. ‘The “bulls” are pushing bonds with all their strength and are getting 1) a “corner”? on the “shorts,” who are undersel! and ordering bonds from Europe, where the price is from one to one and a hall per cent below home raies. The “shorts” won a decided advantage yester\lay morning and made the market weak. The “bulis’ tien went into the Gold Room and forced up the pros, 80 that at nightfall the as- pect of the battle was rather in their favor. The closing street quotativus were:—Jnited States sixes, 1881, registered, 115 a 11554; do. coupon, 1881, 115% a 116 4g; 5-208, registered, 10734 @ 10744; do. coupon, 1862, 113 @ 113),; do. do., 1864, 10776 a 108; do, do., 1865, 10834 @ 10315; do. do., mew, 1865, 11034 a 11074; do. do., 1867, 1107; & 111; do, do., 1868, 111 a 111%¢; 10-40's, registered, 1044 & 1043¢; do. coupon, 106% @ 10655 ‘The situation is tius deseribed in the circular of a prominent bankii¢ iirm who are reported to be a purty to the contest.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25, 1963, General Lovell H. Roussean, commanding the De- partment of Louisiana and Arkansas, has made an elaborate teport to General Grant, referring potut- edly to the events which preceded and accompanied the late peculiar election in Louisiana and to the at- tacks which a portion of the radical pres« have made upon his administration on account of the light re- publican vote cast, The main portions of the report are as follows:— On assusing command of this Department I had to encounter disiculties of no ordivary characier. The excitement of a Presidential eloction, at a'L times great, was supplemented in Louisiana by otner dis- tarbing elements of a local nature. from e struggle of opposing parties the camps had been virtually converted by causes into which itis not my province to enter into # struggle of opposing races. The great majority of the colored popniation were ral on one side; the majority of the white opulation ranged themselves on the other side, Hoth whites and blacks had organized into secret political clubs, semt-military in their character, having the ordinary military ofiicers to. each company. ‘ihe colored ciubs habituatiy dried; id not, because with (he maiorliy lice imbroglio Yy ‘Pexiug and exciting character and the receipt of more or leas distorted report of disturbances in various sections of the State added additional complications to the situation, With all these difficuities to contend azatnst, I found myself charged with extended responsibilities and armed with very slender power. Civil povern- ment having been restored in the State, the aathority of the military was necessarily limited. ‘I'he force at my command, moreover, was excecdingly small Until the receipt of retnforcementy from Genera! Gillem the entire nunber of troops at my disposal in and around the city of New Orleans was only 463 men. After the receipt of the reinforcements from Mississippi 1 had but 550 men avatiable for service in the city. I had not even then @ suiticient force to patrol the city and teave a respectabie reserve behind. The records of the de- — will show how urgen ly and repeatedly I Jegraphed for definite instructions on the recur- rence of each fresh emergency, and my own official acts will prove how earnestly I sirove to maintain the public peace, whilst pres rving, as became an oifcer of the United States army. che strictest im. partiality gnc freedom from po'ttical bias. ‘To have acted asa partisan on elther side would have sim. plitied my position tmmensely; but to watch and control as far as possible both sides ani to pre- serve the public peace without induencing in any way the result of the election was a task of no litde ditficuity and danger. ‘THR NEGRO POLICE FORCE. The police troubles formed the most dangerous feature in the condition of affairs in New Oricans, An act of the Legislature recentiy passed trans- ferred the control of the police force of the cit) from the Mayor and Corporatton, in whose hands it had hitherto been vested, Into the hanas of a Mecro- politan Potice Board composed of six members, three white and three colored, the Lieutenant tov. ernor of the State presiding. This board appointed @ police force of 243 negroes and 130 white men to take charge of the city of New Orleans. ‘Iho com- munity at large refused to recognize or uphold the be gare A of a body thus constituted. This fact taken by itself, without catering into any jon of motive or justification and with more than to the generally in- ferior material, both white and black (with some worthy Lg ig! from which the men were se- lected—this fact alone rendered the Metropolitan Police as oruanized practically worthless, and placed life and property at the mercy of the worst classes in the city. At the slightest appeara’ice of disorder the members of this police, unsupported as they were by public sentiment, stampeded, many of them throwing off their uniforms as they ran. Armed patrols of citizens then took upon themselves tie guardiansaiyp of the public peace, ad-ling anotner element of Cae to those existing, At another time this ae might have been left to settic (taelf, but in the presence of tureatened disturbances on all hands, when the Governor ot che State had surrendered the safe keeping of the city to me, and when positive directions liad been iransmit- ted to me through the War Department to preserve the peace at ali hazards, I should have fallea sort of my duty had i neglected to take pronipt and de- cleive action im the matter, As before stated, [ had not troops enough to police the city, even had L deemed it consistent with my duties as military coramander to undertake the cha: I resorted to measures of compromise and conc! jon as the best and wisest mode of attaining the objects i nad in view. HOW TITAT TROUBLE ENDED, At my instance the Board of Metropolitan Police appointed General James B. Stecdman Chef of Police, and brought the induence of his name aad position to the aid of the civil authorities in presery- ing the peace. This step alone, in my jadgment, tended more to settle matters than any one thing dL think it only an act of justice bore to eral Steedman—as the Metropolitan Poilce ave themselves done by format resolution— for the manly and efficient manner in which he as- sumed aud discharged the duties of that office up to the end of the troables. ‘The mayor and corporation of the city declarin: the Metropolitan Police act unconstitutional, Tnatstod upon their right to appoint thelr own chief and po- cemen. ‘They commissioned Mr. Thomas Adams, @ former occupant of the office under the mayoraity of Mr. Monroe, to the poxt of chief of police, it was further announced that the Metropolitan police were to be forctuly ejected from the office by the appointes the white clubs ai of the or. | immediately sent word to Mayor Conway by my Gi dooaiey, Major Russell, that 1 shoud hold him responsible for any tunlilt that wight resai trom his action, and advising him to con- oor in requesting General Steedman to act as cluet of police wntil after the election, and to order the chief appoivted by him to take no step until turther tustracted, fis tonor at once acceded to my wishes, I then advised both jes to test the legality of the Metropolitan Police bill peaceably in the law courts, and writs ef injunction and quo Warranto have since been taken out in ptfsuance of this advice. I wiso invited’ thy editors of the local ne wepapers, without distinction of party, to Meet te at my pri vate residence and disonss this same matter, which they did. We talked the subject over im a friendly manner, aud | believe all left with the itention of counselling the people to await the action of the cow Atany rate this was done, the papers ali taking @ moderate view of the question afterwards; and thls was tlic end of the police Woubles, THE RIOT RXCITRMENT. Coineident with the police tm! ‘io there were other causes of pablic uneasiness, From the parish or St: Rernard reports of a highly tnfammatory re were received. A white democratic ciub in ‘nat parish had killed a negro. Some citi shot @ metropolitan policemay The ne sembled at nigit, burned the house of » leading white domocrat and his body witn it, drove lus wife ever undertaken on | and little children into the woods, THE NEGROES COUNSELLED mater and broke the leg of egal Public made were the facta, them even worse. The excitement in this went on tnereasing from day to day, and finally developed into hostile lons, fol- by ‘acts of reprisai and retali white black, black against white. ‘These acts of violence were generally committed by small parties whom the police alone ought to haye been su! tect and arrest.

A Gay or two after the consultation with Governor Warmoth and General Lee, at which those gentle- men expressed their intention of advising the ne- Bot to vote, the public excitement cooled jown, the city became comparatively quiet, the democratic clubs pledgea themselves to ald in secur- ing to every registered voter the right to cast his vote, and then I had no fear that any man would be molested in voting on the day of election. GENERAL APPROVALS. During ail the excitement I consulted freely and constantly with tie authorities, State and municipal, and had then and have still their fullest approval of my action, 1 aiso consulted often with Brevet Brigadier General Hatch, Chief of the Freedmen’s Bureau of this State, and desire to express my thanks for many valuable suggestions received from him when most needed. Though the safe- keeping of several parishes in the State had been delivered over to the military, 1 stitl felt t mv duty to endeavor to act in and through the Pree civil authorities wherever it could be done. | further ad- vised with the democratic leaders and prominent citizens of ai) shades of opinion, who each and every one seemed desirous that the peace should be preserved. Governor Warmoth, with other leading republicans of the State, made earnest e‘forts to pre- serve public order. Among the meinbers of the re- publican party with whom I consulted were General A, L. Lee, editor of the ofiiclal journal of the State; various members of the Metropolitan Board of Police, General McMillen, General Sypher, Senator Kellogg and General West, Deputy United States Marshal. A SPROIMEN MARTYR-MONGER, The diMcuity was not with such gen these. But the aid they gave was gi ly acted by the indisereet and unwarraniable coarse porsued by other and unworthy members of the re- poblican “party, who, caring little for the gov- ernment of the United States and less for the rmanent recoustruction of the State, Bought only their own personal agrandize- ment, aiming to do the most offensive things in the most offensive way, and seeing to desire collision and bloodshed ax necessary political capital. Of this atripe were some of the members of the Kepub- lican Campaign Commitiee, In a consultation at my headquarters, in which Dr. Southworth. a control- ling member of that committee, took part, at which consultation I, myself, was not present, but one of my staff oficer was, it was conteuded by some of the republicans present that the negroes should be advised not to go to the polis. the idea being that if they did wo they would be slasghtered, Southworti replied that lus comnuittee would advise the negroes to vote, adding-—‘*Let them be slaughtered, The more there are Irilled the better tt will be Jor or party." This spirit, | am sorry to gay, but too oficn controls the action and conduct of many who assum» to act im the name and for the interest of the government of the United States and who use the cloak of loyalty as a@ cover for their misdeeds, 1 have found that men of this deseripuon, though willing to see the blood of others shed at a distance, conceal themselves with’ marvelioas alacrity and aklil at the approach of any reat or fancied danger. Southworth, who wanted tie negroes siaughtered at the polls, is a shintag example of this kind, and tras actuatiy in hiding at my headquarters at te tune he made the remark I have quoied. SENTIMENTS OF THE CITIZENS. It is dnt just to say that the great body of the oa of New Orleans are law abiding and entirely riendly to the government of the United States. Ce: are exceptions; the evidence of it is written in blood. But the. friendly feel- ing of the people generally towards the overnment bas been evinced in many Ways; none more marked than in the respect shown to the military on all occasions, Officers of the army generally, and my staif especially, always found their uniform ample protection against either vio- lence or the sligh'est disrespect, and a stinple re- quest froma them was suilictent to’ disperse larze and excited crowds of people. The demo clubs of the city, numbering. it is said, Over 16.000 voters, and including many of the most worthy citizens and the largest property holders, formaliy tered to me their services in aid of the imilitary to preserve the peace of the city, That offer was respectfully declined.

Views of a Senator on National Afnire— Overwheluing importance of tha Mrances— The Greeskack Quasiloa=Tlie Ruitroude— Universal Suffrage. NRWANK, Ohio, Nov. 24. 1368, We eat im the cosey little library of John-Sherman's house. ‘There were the very heavy volummes'of the chat. ter, more or less Uvely, that has gone on in Congress these many yexrs, covering one part of the wall; there was an ample cofleetion of the great story of the war onanothr part, and between these the window, look- ing out to the orchard um which the apples grew for the fine, clear cider, and beyond the orchard into the valley quietly hushed with the snow, and beyond the valley to the rich expanse ef agricultural country stretching toward the Onio river. John Sherman was there before me, the effect of his tall figure relinquished for tke nonce in the lounging ease with which he lay in Bis great chair, but his face making tum a man that any one would know by its striking resemb'ance to the familiar Ptetures of the great soldier, his brother. The beau- tiful blue-eyed baby played about the floor with the dainty vivacity of baby fun, keeping @ certain chronicler in morta! foar for ita little head against the sharp corners of the big books that lay loose— learning is so hard and baby heads are so tender— and coming in through the open door from an even quieter part of the home was the gentle maternal voice, calling the baby to other delights, Altogether it was a scene of such domestic purity and quiet as people do not associate with the life of @ public man, but which should be accepted as indl- cating the moral tone and simplicity of character fn one man holding high place in the national councils, “Sir,” sald John Sherman, “I have no opinions on pubilc matters that you may not print; no reasons to be reticent, At the same time thero is nothing that at this moment I especially wish to communi- cate. If you will indicate any points on which you wish my thoughts I wil! give them."’ “Well,” I said, “tt ts part of the story to know what you would touch. In getting at the mind of the country it is first of all important to know to what subjects leading minds attach importance. If all men went to Washington with their heads full of re- construction the country might again be torn on the rack of extreme legislation; while if they went re- garding reconsiraction as now of less consequence than some other topic it wonld be very different. Perhaps I can ask you no question more tothe pur- pose than the one that thus comes up—what subject in our present circumstances do you regard as most imperatively requiring the national attention?” “Not reconstruction. That is settled by the elec- tion of Grant, which secures the honest, firm, bat kind enforcement of existing lawa, The laws already madeare enough. They cover ail the points suf- ficiently. The necessity was that they should be carried out in their proper spirit and not adminis. tered by an Executive intent on defeating the par- pose for which they were made. It was the national will that there should be no more chaffering over the laws, bat that they should be put in force. Grant’s election was an expression of this wil, and secures the desired result. In any further discussion of reconstruction I would myself favor the utmost liberality toward the South, would relieve tt of all forms of disabliity, provided only, it gives protec- tion to the people within its limits; but if murder for political opinion is to go on as it has, If the spirit of disaifection to laws properly made {a to prevall there, the only safety /s in the other course. But, as T have said, the subjectis not likely to be brought up. Grant’s election is a restiug piace.” “Aud in the state of the nation, as viewed from this resting place, some other subject is of more im- mediate importance “1 think so; but the particalar subject to which eny man would attach importance would be deter- mined by the pecuilar direction of hia studies, I regard the vational finances as most important of THY FINANCHS—SPROIE PAYMENT. “And you favor the speedicst possible retarn to specie payment 2” “With certain qualifications and restrictions 1 would answer yes. Specie payment is the thought of all others in our financial futures. By this 1 do not mean tha! we suouid Tush heedlessly towards it without regard to the cost, for such a course woul recipitate upon the country greater evils than any 1 suffers from paper money. TI mean that specie payment should be the first objective point of all financial manreuvres—to be approached with due consideration of the means and of every step taken, but stili to be held in view, with deliperate persistency, for thia reason—that once to reach tt— once Lo oecupy that ground—is fo solve ali our finan- cial problems—the currency, the bank system and debt, Ail that we ean do with these in the mean- tine is to pailiace the evils they cause; for onr finan- cial ditticuities are not due to material poverty nor to defective system, but to the fact that we have pa- per where it was expectad when the laws were made that we would by this time have gold. “iow would you restore specto payments ft’? “Not by contraction, It can bo done in that way; but todo it would be to ruin the debtor classes, to arrest the hand of enterprise and to destroy any party that tried it, Resumption must be reached by ite other ways. They are mainly these:—We must satisfy the people that In no event will there be an increase in the currency, This will be the irst step fa the appreciation of the paper, anid will accom- lish all (hat an increase im the currency could do, use it will increase its representative value. If we make greenbacks worth ten cents more on @ dollar it has the same effect on the money market as if we added & tenth to the volume of the currency. Next ‘We must adopt every other means of giving to the outstanding currency a higher value. Tous, if the gold receipts of the government are in excess of the gold interest ft bas to pay there must be no accunm- lations and subsequent specutative ‘Treasury fal-s: but instead of this the government mast receive a portion of the customs in currency. Beside this we must allow the notes to be converted into bonds— way the ten-forty bond. The greenback is the na- tiow's note already due, The bond is the nation’s note not yet dune, It is mot quite fair deul- ing for @ government to tet its now that ts actuglly due fall in value below its note not due, ‘The only excuse that could be made is present ina- log d to pay the note that is past due, and the nation or the ludtvidaal in this position must simply ask an extension—that is, it must give for the note — due anotuer note, to fail due at a future time, If It does not do this it repadiates to the exact degree that the note differs in value from the other. In addition to these measures for tg A the value of the ¢ £ would require the onal banks to keep their reserves in legal tender aud also to keep these reserves out of tue speculations of Wail streat.”” THE ORERNBACK QUESTION. “The absolute liinitation of greenbacks would kill tho Pendieton theory."’ “Yos, that is the point tn the e0-called greenback juestion wiich the democrats threw into poittics. ne nation 1s itively pled; not to go beyond 8 certuirf umit in the ixsue of these notes, and that pledge 19 aa sacred a8 any other relating to the debt, On the present volume of Lees f of course the democratic theory conld not be out, and we cannot increase the volume without violating one of the conditions on which onr bonds were sold. By the legal tender ac: of 1-62 under whieh the first grecnbacks and five- twenty bonis were made tac amount of currency was litnited to $150,000,000, With that limitation the bonds did not sel! at all, for men did not yet see all the conditions, ‘The currency was increased to $200,000,000, and stil the bonds would not sell, The amount was then raised to $400,000,000, with a re- serve of $50,000,000 and a stipulation not to exceed that amount, Then the bonds sot. Tans the wreen- C' was mitly an element of the sale, When the bonis were aokl Mr. Cook and Governor Chase beld out the ides that they would be pe fa old, but this was because th y essumed when the time fot tend to telt the ‘hat greenvacks would be_ as good iy s° payment came.

Banks are 3 neces- sity, and Lam natterly opposed to States coutrotling the currency ef the nation or a return to the OF tem of notes, worthless beyond # certain terril line. The national bank circulation is safe if any- thing is sate, Specie payment is here, too, the great Polat, and, this supplied, ‘aed Redemption is the only restraint on & f it 18 compelied to redeem in gold on demand itisaue all the notes it wishes. Undue proits alse will disa] runder the necessities of redemption. Get to this and tt will be easy enough to sapply the Seuth and West with currency; and in the mean- time gross inequalities might be corrected within the present lawa,’? “The iequalities in the distribution of this mon Was @ great cry with the democrats in the canvass.’ “Yes; and ‘I,” said the Senator, ‘was muck amu: es) ly by Governor Se; a lament for the West, for the want of its share of bank cir- culation, Whose tault ta it if the Weat has leas it needs?

THE TAXES, erie pemane ay eee regard to taxs- n . “Our bsg system is founded on the experience of England and France. It ia good, as it taxes mainly luxuries and imported articles, and ag it is cheaply collected, for it costs less proportionate:y te toms dutl lepen eaty of the agents, and thia, I hope, will be greater under Grant than it has been, I would make taxa tion touch exclusively, if possible, imported articies and luxurt's, and not the necessaries of life. I would rather apply a surplus to tue paymentof the . debt than reduce the taxes; for the tax can be better borne now than by and by, when they will be paid in gold, I believe in so shaping taxation that it shi w acertain degree, protect domestic industry. I would be unwise to reduce the duties on imported Ree that can be made here. Protection suould, owever, only be used a3 @ healthy stimulus. To diversify the industry of @ people is a great motive. If protection creates undue competition at home it goes too far; but the doctrine of protection i now out of view—revenue Is what is before us.’! FUNDING THE DEBT. poripe have had some experience with a funding air, «Yes; the original bill as it passed the Senate Com- mittee of Finance was a good measure. The bill as it passed both houses was a humbug—a bridge to get over the election. ‘The attempt to reduce interest to four per cent in this country will fail. A funding biil must have more im it than a new privilege Co the bondholder. We want a comprehensive measure, providing for, first, funding the greenbacks; secon the reduction of the debt; third, the redemption the five-twenty bonds when the five years are out, by sale of bonds bearing a lower rate of interest.”’ “Would you tax the bonds?” “Taxing the bonds 1s impossible. ‘he courts have settled the question against State taxation, and common honesty will prevent the nation ievying: uny tax on its own bonds, save such ag it puts om other bonds, which takes the form of an income tax.” THE RAILROADS. “There fa much discussion here in the West about a peculiar tople of the future—the removal of the national capital.” “Yes; it is a matter of ratiroads. Washington is inaccessible through the action oi the Baitimore and Ohio Ratlroad, which ts @ close monopoly. It is in- conventent and sometimes dangerous to get there, and unless the arraugement that enables the Balt more and Ohio Rat!road to make Washington o mere suburb of Baltunore is broken up the capital will be removed within five years, My own opinton is tiat Congress has power to regu- late railroad lines above all State wer. It ie in the power given over commerce. _‘ (iy eed shall have power to regulate commerce with foreign na tions and am the several States.’ ‘This is an im- rant power, for the ratiroads are to be a wonder- nl element i our development. Already the value of tho ratiroads in the United States 18 $1,600, 000,000— sixteen hundred millions—but little less than the na- tional debt, and their receipts ave three times the in- terest, of the debt, Any one of the four leading railroads transports property worth $150,000,000 [8 year. If it 18 doubtial whetuer Congress has the power to build new roads its authority to regulate those already built is clear, In taking hold of mat ters like this We must move Cautiously and with good precedent in view, though the tendency of the times is to a stronger central nationality. Unless Congress has this power there will be trouble about it by-and- vy. Suppose, for instance, that Ohio should do what New Jersey yneys does—deciare that only one railroad shail cross her territory—she could dissolve the Union with this power, for all communication between the East and the West lies across her terri- tory; to the South you must go to Kentucky, where tnore is a range of mountains that cannot be passed by a railroad, and to the North you must go to the lnkes and take the chances of the water. This is too much power for any State to possess.” UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. “We must,’ said the Sevator, “have universal suffrage as @ foundation stone over the who country, and Congress ought to submit an amend mieut to the States with that idea.” LETTER FROM CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE TO A SOUTHEANER. ‘The following letter was written in April last by Chief Justice Chase to Mr. H. W. Hilliard, of Georgia, being drawn out by a published letter from Mr. Hil- liard, declining to be a candidate for Congress, tut giving lus view of political affalrs:— WASHINGTON, April 27, 1868, Dran Str—Some days since I received {rom an un- known hand a Ce ed containing a letver of yours, wluch I read with great interest. My acquaintance with you when we were both in Congress—you in the House and | in the Senate—was very slight; but, slight as it was. 1 take occasion hoa it to write you a jew lines suggested by your jeiter. Ever since the war closed Thave been very anxious for the earliest practicable “restoration” of the States of the South to their proper relations to the other States of the Union, I adopt your own state- ment of the problem to be worked out, because fT with you in tie opinion that those “states have never other than States within the Union ce they became parties to the federal bene rgel and that the failure to maintain their asgertions independence in the condict of arms which followed left them States still within the Union.”” on which I poy, difter from you, is for whom = = whom these war In my judgment the refusal of the rietary class, if te may be #0 called, to recognize that facb and its legitimate and, indeed, logical consequences, and the convictions of large majorities In the States which adhered to the national goyernment in re- bo aes it, caused most of the trouble of the Inet ree years. T have not time to go at large into this subject; bat I may say briedy that emancipation came to be re garded by these majorities as @ military necessity; that the faith of the nation waa pledged by the pro- clamation of emanctpation to matatain the emanct pone people in the possesaion and e t of the edom it conferred; that to this end the amend- ment to the constitution prohibiting slavery throughout the United states was pi and rat fied; Wat, becoming —— the emancipated people became necessarily citizens, and that, as citizens, they were entitied to be consulted in res} to ization and to the means of self-protection by suffrage. This is 9 very tr but, | think, a perfectly correct statement of wh may be calied, for the sake of brevity, the Northern view of this matter, It would, perbaps, be more cor- rect to call tt the loya! view North aud South, using tho word loyal as distinguishing the masses whe support the national government trom the masses Who opposed it during the war. Now the particular matter to which I wish to draw your attention ts, whether policy and duty do not re- quire Ke class which | have called Lon pemeye meaning thereby the educated and culttv: meno the Sonth, whether property holders or not, to ac- copt this view fully and act upon tt, Is it possible to doubt that, had this view been ac cepted and acted Lg three years ago, after the sur- render of Tee and Johnston, the Southern States would have been richer to-day by hundreds of mil- lions than they are, and that fees no upiversal aim- nesiy and the removal of ail disabilities would have repared the hearts of men on both sides for @ reat 4 in value with fhe actual money of the world. Thus ‘the thing t be done and be just enough 89 far as we could go with it, but that would be only a little ways irom the enforced limitation of these notes."" “Woold you favor the application Mc hered oh] green- backs to the payment of any of these bonds “This question bas often been asked me. fT do not think I would—for this reason, public sentiment at home and abroad would regard this as a Violation of public faith, Wo cannot aiford éven to lie tinder sugpicion im that; above all, not for What we would gain by this 1 re? “What world we gain” “The whole athount we could apply on the pay- ment of the public dept wonld nor excvod $30,900;000 Tannun, wad ali that Would be saved to the gov- a year would be the diifereuce be- tween the of vaitie of 0,000 in green Tacks and #10,000,000 in lo does tot rigitiy ‘appreciate public eredit Who Would shovk 1t for wach fn amount.” theories, then, as atto- “You regard Pendicton’s @ether wrong? “They are repudiation it 1t8 worst form, ndle- ton would viointe tite law or pledge that jits the Rational note and ad the count felt ints Abie paper.
