What Was Said and Done by One of Its Predecessors. INTERESTING REMINISCENCES. -—_—_—— Is the Issue of $44,000,000 in Ac- cordance with the Spirit and Letter of the Law? EVENTS OF THE WEEK. WALL STREET, SUNDAY, Dec. 28, 1873, Secretary Richardson favdts.the abolition of the pipsing. Fund for one year, of wntil the revenues ir ie. The foregoing is published as one of the Secre- ‘tary’s proposed ways of meeting a present and snticipated deficiency in the Treasury. For the credit of the people, who are repre- sented by the Finance Department, it is to be hoped that the statement was made without his authority. The time has been when no paper would have given publicity to such a report with- put first being certain that it was true; but, un- fortunately, the past acts of the Secretary have prepared the public to believe him capable;of pro- posing even as open a violation of the pledged faith bf the government as is involved in this his pro- posed action. By act of Congress, dated February 25, 1862, the public faith is pledged in these woras:—“That all coin collected from customs shall be set aside as a special tund and applied as follows:—First, to the payment in coin of the in- terest on the bonds and notes of the United States. Second, to the purchase or payment of one per tent of the entire debt of the United States, to be made within each fiscal year after July 1, 1862, which is to be set apart as a sinking fund, and the interest of which shall in like manner be applied to the purchase or payment of the public debt, as the Secretary of the Treasury shall from time to time direct. Third, the residue thereof to be paid into the Treasury of the United States,” THE GREATEST DIFFICULTY encountered in discussing the financial policy of the government is to convince the people that we gre not waging a partisan war upon the admin- \stration, and to obtain from “good republicans” an admission that there may possibly have slipped ito the sacred circle one or two men who, al- though honest, are not blessed with the brains of a Webster or a Lowe. With these preliminary words, and the further statement that it will not be necessary to go be- youd the first administration of Abraham Lincoln so establish our premises, we proceed to cite the jacts that give force to the argument. The act of Congress above quoted was the first financial law pf importance passed by the Lincoin administra. tion, and it marked a new departure in the finan- tial policy of the government. It was this act which first authorized the issue of United States notes and made them a legaltender. ‘The pledge it contained was renewed and repeated in otner and later acts, so that every loan made by the United States was based on this pledge of its faith. {t became part of the contract with the then cred- {tors of the government, who believed they were to be paid in gold but were forced to receive mere “promises to pay.” Clearly Congress has the same right to REPUDIATE THE WHOLE CONTRACT, f.e, the whole debt, that it may exercise in re- pudiating the smallest portion of it. The only word, therefore, in our language which expresses the proposed action of the Secretary 1s, “repudia- tion.” It is the want of perception of what is meant by a pledge once made by the government; ®@ seeming ignorance of the fact that it is, and Bhould be, more sacred than all other acts of the government; that it not only affects the credit and creditors of the government, but that the whole commerce of the country depends upon it; that merchants regard and hold such a pledge as one of ‘the fixed laws, and to that extent base their busi- ness plans thereon—we say it is the want of this appreciation of the value of such public pledges that has brought the Treasury of the United States to its present lamentable condition. Suppose that the law of march 18,1869—which declared that “none of the interest-bearing obligations of the United States (except such as were provided to be bought for the Sinking Fund) should be bought, except when the notes of the United States were par in gold’”’—had not been violated, does any one believe we would have witnessed the depletion of the Treasury by some thirteen millions of bonds, at a time when a schoolboy could have informed the Secretary that, from the very first moment of the crisis, which he @as illegally and vainly attempting to stop, his receipts would di- minish to such an extent that he would require every dollar of his valance to meet the ordinary Payments? Yet, when the fact was afterwards demonstrated by AN EMPTY CASH BOX, ‘were any steps taken, such as a prudent merchant or @ manufacturer would have taken, to imme- diately retrench, by cutting the expenses down to the lowest possible limit? No; such a thought ‘does not appear to have entered into the financial rain of the Secretary. On the contrary, he imme- lately assumed the powers of the Senate and the House of Representatives combiued, and enacted a law unto himseif in less time than the famous Committee of Ways and Means can asuailly frame one, under which he is issu- ing at discretion $44,000,000 of legal ten- ‘ders. If the words “retiring and cancelling” have any meaning or place in the English language there never was a clearer violation of a statute py & government oficial. In fact, the resources of the government were go badly managed that the Secretary did by the pubiic creditor just what many merchants Wo were caught unprepared by the storm were obliged to ao by their creditors— asked an extension, This 1s what every dollar of the isaue of the “reserve” means—no more, no less—extended promises to pay. and, unforva- nately, being in every respect like the legal issue, they taint the whole volume and reduce the pur- chasing power of that which is good and lawiul. Where, may we be permitted to ask of THR SKORETARY AND HIS SUPPORTERa, does he find the word “reserve” in any law of Congress as applied to the $44,000,000, or to any portion of the amount of legaltenders “retired ana cancelled” by act of Congress? It certainly is not in the act wherein the authority to ‘tur. ther retire and cancel” legal tenders is with+ drawn. We fancy he would find it as dimcult to satisfy bis own mind that he had any law to jus- tity his act, as did his predecessor in convincing the Senate last winter, when they adopted tne re- port of their committee, that the issue of October, 1872 (then already called in), was illegal, and that ho farther legisiation was necessary to prevent its fepotition. This was about as atrong an inter- »oretation of the law by one house as could weil be NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1873—WITH SUPPLEMENT. given, ana m tue absence of any action by the other branch of Congress it required a bold man to brave it, Such a one, however, appears to be at the head of the finances of the United States; and for this reason alone he would be unsafe as an adviser, No mun who fails in bis respect for the law can be a good executor of its mandates. So Much for the acts of Congress and their adminis- trators in finance, But there is, or was, a law in this country superior to both—the “congtitution.”? And it is still the opinion of many persons that Congress has not, the to reissue this sored four serve.” We have said that, we Wwe Rot go pack of LINCOLN’S FIRST ADMINISTRATION for our promises, and, therefore, only refer to the Legal Tender act of February 25, 1862. is well known, Mr. Onase, who was Secretary of the Treas- ury at the time, had despaired of being able to raise any more money by loais to carry on the war, then in progress for nearly @ year, and that he sug- gested to Congress the issue of United States “notes, the same to be made legal tenders for all public and private debts, and that he firmly be- heved that without this legal tender clause there was no hope of saving the Union, which, for the time, was superior to all other considerations. He therefore urged the measure upon Congress with all the force of his personal strong will Bejore its passage the constitutional questions involved were fully discussed, but even some of the warmest friends o1 the administration could not be induced to vote for it. THE DEBATE IN THE SENATE fairly illustrates the temper of the leading public men and supporters of the government in the con- sideration o! the subject. We quote only from the speeches of the latter. When the bill came up in the Senate on February 12 Mr. Fessenden said:— “The ground upon which this clause, making these notes a legal tender, is put I have already stated. It i8 put upon the ground of absolute, ever- whelming necessity, The government must have funds, and those funds are not to be obtained from ordinary sources or from any of the expemgnts to which we have heretofore re- course; alm, therefore, this new, anomalous and Temarkable provision must be resorted to, in order toenable the goWernment to pay off the debt it already owes, and provide, &c, The question then ts, does the necessity exist? If the necessity ex- ists, [have no hesitation upon the subject, and shall have none. If there is nothing left for us but that, and that will effect the object, I am per- fectly willing to,do it.” Mr. Sherman said:—“I agree that this measure can only be justified on the ground of necessity. Js there such @ necessity?” And so on, Those who supported the measure at all did so, as stated by Mr. Fessenden, on the ground of ‘‘absolute, overwhelming necessity,” with the single excep- tion of Mr. Sumner, whose friends would not claim him as a sate guide on constitutional points, Mr. Collamer could not bring himself to vote for any measure which was unconstitutional—admit- ted to be so by its iriends—on any plea of neces- sity. Mr. Cowan was surprised that such a question “could even enter the American Senate. Surely if anytaing in the world is settled—settled by the fathers, by contemporury history, painiul experi- ence and the total absence o/ all precedents for the exercise of these powers—it is that they were never delegated, nor intended to be delegated. I have never until now heard it doubted. If thisis not settled, then nothing Is settled, and we are all at sea.” On the motion to strike out the legal tender clause, under this immense pressure of “absolute, overwhelming necessity,” it was saved only by a vote of 22to17. On its final passage the vote was 20 to 7, Mr. Collamer’s and Mr. Cowan's making 2 of the 7 votes. What acontrast is presented by this language, spoken with a hostile army almost thundering at the doors of the Senate—the act being adopted as the only means of salvation to the Unton—and that which has been uttered in the present Con- gress! Not a voice has been raised against the in- fationist on constitutional grounds! Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives, there can be no stability or real prosperity in America again until this question is settled forever, that you no more have the right to make anything a legal tender but gold and silver than that you can delegate to a Secretary of the Treasury the privi- lege of holding in his hand the fortune of every man inthe country, to make and mar at will. First call your Secretary to account, and then re- nounce the power that has never but once been claimed for you, and then only as a war measure, “an absolute, overwhelming necessity.” THE BVENTS OF THE WEEK do not require much condensation. The record shows unusual dulness, although not more than might be expected from a holiday season. The ex- tremes in prices have not been wide, and but to those on the bull side of the speculation in stocks the result was gratifying. The leading features in the upward movement were Panama, New York Central, Lake Shore and Rock Island. Northwest common, Wabash, Union Pacific and Pacific Mail were likewise in good request and enjoyed more or less the benefit of an advance. The following are the highest and lowest prices of the week :— RAILROAD BONDS of the older series were largely inquired for and command high prices. The large amount of money to be disbursed in dividends and interest by both the government and corporations during the next 30 days will undoubtedly add fresh impetus to in- vestment, and this market will doubtless feel the benefit more promptly than any other de- partment. It is noteworthy that there is an entire absence of new railway securities and little disposition to handle them. The low priced West- ern bonds, especially those which are likely to pay a dividend within six months ora year, are those which are more freely sought for than others, Chicago and Northwest, Alton and Terre Haute, Union Pacific and others of thigclass are freely and favorably commented upon in this connection, and should there be a “January” rise they will probably move with much activity, THE MONEY MARKET has been encouraging inasmuch as good borrowers could command what they require on call at rates ranging trom 6 to 7 percent. It is believed that the rates will be lower after the Ist of January. Prime business paper was discounted at from 7 to 10 per cent, the market being unaffected by the various failures reported during the week. A feature of the hour, by no means wholesome in its influence on the general market, is the slow pro- cess of recovery in commercial circles, and the paucity of railway business from East to West, showing that there is not much fresh business now being transacted, THE BANKS are in @ stronger condition than usual, The loan certificates have been greatly reduced in number and bid fair to be entirely cancelled before the middle of January. The several institutions now hold, according to choir weekly statement, $12,600,000 in excess of the legal reserve, which is put down at $55,577,000. During the week there was an increase In specie of 1,526,000, making the sum total in hand $23,514,000, and an increase in de- posits of $1,035,000, The increase in circulation was only $30,700; in legal tenders, $96,000, and in loans, $902,000, The total liabilities of the banks are now $222,308,000. following is the statement in detail :— Deo. 21.

THE GOLD MARKET. The speculation in gold was without feature at the close, but at times during the week promised to be exceptionally lively. Opinion is about evenly divided as to the course of gold during the early months of the mew year, and there are not afew who express the belief that we shall see much higher rates, Much, however, depends on the action of Congress, the strength of the Treasury and the character and extent of importations, In- flation will unquestionably enhance the value of coin and give stimulus fo the market which it has not had for many months, from purely natural causes. ‘The lowest price of the week was 1093¢ and the highest 110%, the decline being late in the week, when it was announced that the January interest on the public debt would be anticipated without rebate on the 29th inst, The fall waa recovered at the close, however, on the receipt of advices from Washington, with reference to the probable action of Congfess. on Sern FORRIGN EXCHANGE. A sharp advance occurred in tnis market Satur- day, owing toa scarcity of commerctal bills, the rates being 108% for prime bankers’ sixty days sterling afid 100 for sight, As an evidence of the small supply of cotton bills, we may mention that exchange at New Orleans on New York has fallen Within the past few days from % per cent to 1% per cent discount. The Christmas holiday in Eng- Jand and America has checked the exports of breadstuffs and provisions this week, especially from the port of New York, all of which has its in- fluence on the exchange market. Some of our bankers sold their own bills freely, expecting to cover the same with cotton bills in Southern ports, but have been disappointed to\eume extent, and hence they were in the market as buyefs. Actual business in sterling to-day was as high as 108% a 1085¢ for prime long bills and 109% a 1094¢ for de- mand, Commercial bills sold at 107% a 108 for fair names up to 108% for very choice signatures, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES SATURDAY.

Cotton Quiet—Fiour Dull— Wheat Easicr—Corn Firm—Onats Better—Coffec Quiet But Firm—Sugar Firmer—Pork and Lard Firm—Petroleum Steady— Naval Stores Dall and Nominal— Freights Quiect—Whiskey Quiet. The markets were generally quiet all through the week last past, and business marts wore an unusually quiet aspect. The recurrence of the Christmas anniversary and the festivities pertain- ing thereto absorbed a large share of attention, and business was neglected. There was less dis- position to make speculative ventures, the reces- sion of the gold premium exerting a somewhat depressing influence. There was less done in breadstuffs for shipment and the mar- Kets were generally easier, though there were jew radical changes. Wheat was firmer until near the close of the week, when, with liberal arrivals by rail, there was more disposition to sell and less to purchase; in view of which prices declined. Saturday was much the same as the other days of the week, nearly all kinds ot merchandise being dull. On ‘Change flour was dull and heavy. Wheat was dull and lower. Corn was firmer, especially for lots in store, which were wanted. Oats were also a trifle better, bat not very active. Whiskey was quiet. Pork and lard were easier than on the previous day, bat still firmer thana week ago. Freights were quiet, and in shippers’ favor, both by ves- sels on the berth and for charter. Coffee was quiet, but firm. Sugar was moderately active, and a shade firmer, Petroleam was steady. Naval stores continued dull and nominal. Cortor.—A few unimportant transactions in spot cot ton were made on the street; but, the xchange having adjourned until Monday, no sales were reported ofiicially, Corrse.—No business from first hands was reported, but the market remained frm.
