Wconverune paper currency circulated by Private corporations, That would be the result. Our legal tenders gone, we should have the national bank rags fastened upon us for an indefinite period or for all time to come. Mr. Sherman begins at the wrongend, We ‘do not want the legal tender currency dis- turbed. What is wanted is retrenchment in the government expenditures, reduction of the interest on the public debt and the liquide”, of the debt as fur aa possible while MW ney ig Comparatively cheap, Do this, an9, with the Pst wth of the country “ wealth and : ion, we should graduzlly and health- fally approach specie payments.

S4re are two kinds of Americans, belonging by their intellectual characteristics to diffe- rent eras of American life. European literature has unconsciously given its picture of both by recognizing on one page that the American is ‘the noisiest, loudest, emptiest and most fluent of speakers, and on another page limning the ideal American as the personification of all that is earnest in the pursuit of the ‘‘practi- cal.” Here at home we can see the truth of both pictures, and can understand that Euro- pean writers, in thus presenting us to the Sa anes fo AY highest degree the mod ABMs tals, iol ngs bat ‘only fuse and jumble the f dof our two ‘most distinctive types. There is an American to hom there is nothing in the world but Words.» Train, Colorado Jewett, Wendell Phillips, the editor of the radical organ and the cackling old hens of our women’s rights conventions are so many varying specimens of this kind of American. This is what we may call the transition American. He is a sort of slag, run down and melted out in the collision of the elements, from which is formed the true national ore—an utterly worthless part of the result and a nuisance. Man changes in the course of a few centuries as he changes his climate, and under the influence of this -law of nature the European races that have made their homes here are producing the two results we point at of human ore and human slag. Inthe ore we are concentrating all that is good of the European races ; in the slag we are condensing and casting out all that is worthless. Even Europe has too much gabble. Witness the noisy masses of any European city. But when in a new cli- mate we concentrate this vice of chatter in ‘@ section of the people, fancy the result. The result is the utterly vapid verbiage of a Train, the statistical imbecility of the editor of the radical organ, the fluent empti- ness of a Jewett and the noisy nimbleness,in speech of men like Phillips and Sumner. In the ore, the true American of the future, the typical man of action, who is to carry on the struggle for American supremacy, in whom are stored the latent heat and power of the furnace, we have an almost Indian silence. Grant is an extreme presentment of thistype. William the Silent wasa boisterous babbler beside him ; but for action there is not his equal in history. Hitherto there has been a notion that govern- ment could only be carried on by the slag; but under Grant the men of action will come to the first place, and the world will see the dif- ference. ‘Tne Czar anv THE Wuiskey Snors.—The Russians not inaptly term their rumshops, ginmills and barrooms ‘‘national banks,” on account of the manner in which these estab- lishments absorb the savings of those who patronize them. Now, the Muscovite govern- ment has come to the conclusion that it can ac- complish a vast amount of good, and has pre- pared a species of charter for these institutions, which incresses threefold the taxes on their capital stock. According to the provisions of this law no tavern will be allowed on any main thoroughfare in St. Petersburg, and no drink- ing house will be permitted within eighty yards of a government office. Here is an excise law with a vengeance. Suppose such a law was in operation in New York, Washington or Al- bany, what would become of the loungers of thoroughfares or the hangers-on of the public offices? We pause for a reply. ‘Tue Drives ty THE PaRrK.—It is the univer- sal opinion of the New York public who in- dulge in fine horses and costly equipages that the drives in the Park, particularly on the east side, are far too narrow for either pleasure ot safety. The avenues should be at least fifty or even ono hundred feet wider. There is plenty of spare ground for the purpose, and there isno reason why the pleasure-seeking public, for whom the Park was made, should not have ample space for recreation. What say the Commissioners? Were they in the Park yesterday? Did they get through safely ? Tae Greeks aT Home AND THR GREEKS Asroap.—The Paris Conference has settled the Cretan business.

Analysis of the Treaty for the Settlement of the Alabama Claims. Lonpon, Jan, 19, 1869. The Times to-day’ analyzes the treaty between Great Britain, and the United States for the settle- ment ofthe Alabama claims, and gives the follow- ing outlines of its provisions:— The commission is to consist of four members, two to be appointed by England and two by the United States. The commission will hold its sessions in Washington. Its first business will be to select an umpire, Fatling in a choice each side will appoint an umpire, and when the commissioners are equally divided in opinion on any case they shall select by ot one of the two umpires to render a final decision. One of the sovereigns of Europe is to be selected by the commission to arbitrate points of international law, including the question of the recognition of the Southern States as belligerents by Great Britain. Each government is to formulate and advocate the claims of its citizens; no individual claimant will be heard before the commission. All claims must be presented within six months from the first day of the meeting of the commission, and all in- demnities are to be paid witnin eighteen months from the same day. One year 1s allowed for the Fatification of the treaty. "ya Lo} 7 ‘The Alabama Claims Convention. Loxpos, Jan. 19—Evening.

Lonpon, Jan. 19, 1869, The London journals this morning concur in praising the speech of Napoleon at the opening of the French Chambers as a frank and transparent ex- pression of his policy and as the words of a true Frenchman addressed to Frenchmen. The Times is sorry that the fabric of a State which he has raised is based on personal government and cannot survive its maker. SPAIN. The Progress of the Elections. MaDniD, Jan. 19, 1869. Election returns, almost complete, have been re- ceivea from all parts of the country. It can now be stated with a close approximation to the exact figures that the Constituent Cortes will be composed of three hundred monarchists, thirty-five republi- cans and fifteen Bourbonists.

Complete returns have been received of the elec- ttons just concluded for members of the Constitu- tional Cortes. The result shows unmistakably that ‘an overwhelming majority of the people of the nation are in favor of a government monarchical in form. The cities of Seville, Barcelona, Alicante, Sara- gossa and some others, however, have been carried by the republicans, and the strength of that party in the new Cortes will be about 100 members.

Efforts to Secure the Electoral Vote of the State to General Grant=The New Orleans Collectorship. New ORLEANS, Jan. 19, 1860. » Astrong effort is being made here to eftect a Fe- nian organization in this city. A mecting was held last night for the purpose. Senator Campbell, Chairman of the Committee on Peace and Order, yesterday introduced a resolution @irecting that the Presidental Electors recetving & majority im the twenty-six parishes, declared by his committee to have had a peaceable and fair election, shall be requested to meet on the 25th | and cast the electoral vote of the State tor Presidvai, The resolution was referred to the Judiciary Comunittee. The object of it is to have the vote of the State cast for General Grant. Colonel Casey, brother-in-law to Goneral Grant, left for Washington on Saturday and, it is said, he | will be an applicant for the Collectorship of this port under Mr, Johnson, in case of Fulter's rejection, and so hold over under General Grant.

A meeting of leading liberal Cubans was held yes- terday. It was resolved unanimously that Cubans should insist on the autonomy of the island; that the independence granted by Spain, with all the guar- of the political faith of the liberal party. The Prenea, reviewing an article om the subject ip the @ liberal paper, says if the Ouban party on continuing the fight against Spain it must be with the object either of throwing the island into the arms of the United States or of forming a republic separate from Spain. This ren- ders it necessary for the Spaniards to reduce them to loyalty by force of arms. But should the Spaniards be attacked by foreigners and perhaps compelled by superior force to leave the island they should leave it in ruins and ashes. A letter from the American Consul at Nue- vitas, dated the 14th, says:—News had been received there from Puerto Principe that the rebel forces, 6,000 strong, under General Quesada, were advancing on that city, which was defended by Colonel Mena, with a garrison of 3,000 men, Ample preparations had been made to receive the insurgents. The city was in a thorough condition of defence. Tain Ta of the intelligence from Bayamo it was doubanat WhethaF ‘Qhesade would persist in his movement. The Spanish conimMates was condden he could repulse any attack by the rebela awn, Owing to a personal difficulty between General William F. Smith, the President of the International Ocean Telegraph Company, and Mr. Dickerson, Presi- dent of the Florida Ratlroad, a judge in Jackson- ville, Fla., has issued an injunction against the Cable Company, preventing them from using their land line in the State of Florida. In consequence of this proceeding the working of the wires was interrupted on Sunday and a portion of Monday. This suspen- sion of communication created much contusion and caused no little damage to the commerce of Cuba and the United States. Itnow appears that the in- junction has been partially removed. ‘The Bishop of Havana has sent an ecclesiastic to investigate the case of the pariah priest of Trinidad, now in jail on the charge of infanticide.

To Tne Eprror or THE HERALD:— Amid the great shower of financial “meteors” with which the columns of your valuable paper have been lately illuminated I beg leave to introduce a few flashes from the “light of common sense.” Especially am I prompted to this after perusing the article from the pen of Mr. Opdyke, wherein he con- cludes that the best policy ts a ‘masterly inactivity.” Undoubtedly this ts the best policy; but it is emi- nently proper that we should correct errors hereto fore committed which can be remedied without seriously disturbing the prosperity of the country. Money ts a representative of value. It is that article with which we pay debts; and, to have its full value as money, should be availabie for the payment of any debt, No government is justifiable in issuing as money that which it will not receive in payment of every debt due to it; and just so far as it refuses to take it back, just so far tt repudiates it as money. Ig tt reasonable to suppose that the people would receive the greenback at a greater value than that put upon it by the government which issued it? The auswer must be, “No.” Here, then, is the great error—the coining of a paper dollar de- ciared to be of a less Yalue t! the gold dollar by the act which authorized tts issue. My Grst proposition is, therefore, repeal this restric- tion and let the government receive the greenback the same as But, tt is said, the government must have ; it has con! to pay certain debta with coin. This is an obligation resting upon the people collectively; the burden of procuring coin should, therefore, be a public burden, and not im upon one class of our citizens. Woulda jaw compelling the hardware merchants or the wholesale grocers to furnish the government with coin be any more reasonable than the present law requiring our unfortunate fellow citizens who have dealings with foreign countries to assume this bur- den rat is as Much my duty as theirs; as much the duty of one class as another. Ny second proposition is—let the government pur- chase the gold it requires; and, of course, ‘Thirdly, forbid government sates of goid. I would add a fourth—Repiace the national bank bills, “money by fiction,” with greenbacks, and then for a “masterly inactivity.” ‘The above is the theory. Now let us look a little at the practice. The Treasury vaults contain at present about one hundred militons tn coin, suiicient to last the government about nine montis. period, then, the demand for gold would compat lively cease; that for duttes, amounting to three um lions a week, Would entirely stop. he greenback being invested With all the prerogatives of the goid dollar would ce ly “apprectate’ in the eyes of our people; and just so soon as the people find out that the greenback is the equivalent of a gold douar as “money the question of redemption is settied. Now, there is no reason wily the greenback should not be the egutvaient of gold as “money.” ‘The gold dollar itself is not intrinsicaily worth 100 cents. The former is backed by the credit and re- sponsibility of the goverament—it is issued by the overnment. Is it Hot As good as uur former State fank bills, which admitted to have beeo as weil secured a8 possible? And yet there never was a moment when they could have been redeemed in Is the faith and credit of thenational govern. ment less than thaf of a State? But to return. if the greenback can applied to the same purposes as goll—I mean as money—who Will demand re- demption? And when it can be so applied I can perceive no reason why our people should not accept tt as gold. Noone, of course, will sap- pose that Lanticipate the purchase of coin to pay our enormous debt. Under no circumstances can we do that, The day of payment is, however, some distance Off; when it arrives there may be coin enough for the purpose, But let me pi ind to our Can we ever re- turn to specie payments with our present currenyy’ coin We have three kinds of currency:—1, coin; % 4, partly “money,’’ aud, Honk. bank iis money" by fletiou.

The Committees and Probable Chairmen— Aucidents During the Election for Senator. ' ALBANY, Jan. 19, 1369. The dickering and tinkering over the House com- mittees are nearly at an end. The Speaker and some of his friends are now (eleven o'clock P. M.) in council filling up the tail ends. There has necessarily been much embarrassment in the business owing, to the factious spirit which the Morgan and Fenton fight has given birth to. It isimpossible to ascertain with accuracy who the chairmen of the principal committees wiil be, as the closest secrecy is observed; but I can give you, on pretty fair authority, the names of some who will probabiy be nominated. Seikreg, of Tompkins, it is known, will have the Ways and Means. It is un- derstood that Judge W. W. Campbell, of Otsego, was offered the Judiciary, but declined in favor of the chairmanship on Raulroads. N, B. La Bau, of Warren, an emiment lawyer, is roan. of for the Judiciary; Winiela 8. Cameron, of Chautauqua, for Commerce and Navigation. It is possible, however, that La Bau will accept the Railroad Committee, or Husted may cet it. On Cities and Villages the choice —— to be between Richmond and the former is for ions a8 the most probable only. It is jerstood that the committees will be announced to-morrow immediately after the joint a or Doth houses to compare the record on the United States Senatorship.
