The Republican caucus of the House voted yesterday to adjourn from next Monday to Miy g, but the confivmation of that decision will depend upon the readiness of the Senate. The Hon.

The Government holds, in round numbers, One Hundred Millions of coin; its outstanding Greenbacks are about Four Hundred Millions, whercof the National Banks hold, and must do {heir best to rotain, over One Hundred Millions. The Treasury, then, must endeavor to meet all demands for coin from a res®ve of One Hund- red Millions, backed by its daily income. Can it do so? 1t is an clement of the problem by no means fo be ignored that owrs is this day the largest specie-producing country ou earth, The official estimate of our last w's product is One Hundred and Six Millions—an aggregate larger than that of any former year, and still vapidly creasing. With the Pacific Railroad in ope tion to the eastern base of the Rocky Mow tains—and it will be thero before the close of 1867—we can produce Gold at least twenty-five per cent. cheaper than we have ever yet done, 1f we assume its average cost in 1865 at 225 in coin per pound Troy, we ean produce it in 1363 at or below #1375 per poungd, In other words, we can mine at an average profit instead of an average loss. That this will largely stimulate and increase the production, is inevitabla, We estimate our National product of Specie for the next ten years as follows: Chief-Justice Allen, of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, has resigned Lis position. e was an oviginal Free Soil leader, in the days whea the cause of Freedom was strong only in its justice. Judge Allgn is a lawyer of rare ability and learning, and now leaves the bench from long-continued ill he alth. A Dbill was reported in the State Senate, yes- terday, aunthorizing a railroad in Broadway, Lexington-ave., and other streets of this city. There are all reasons against tho passage of this Dill, or any bill that adds to the obstacles to travel and the inconvenience of the public. New-York wants no more surface railvoads ; it has now foo many; and every additional rail laid down in our streets will be in contempt of the wishes of the people. By Mr. McCulloch's monthly statement it appears that on the 1st of March $1,464,85,101 was the sum of our debt bearing coin interest; #787,028,890 is the total of debt with interest in currency, and $424,126,582 the total of debt bearing no interest.

Now, if we are to require extra credit in Europe, it mnst be for one (or both) of two reasons : 1. To redeem (purchase) a portion of our present debt held there; or 2. To pay for goods hencceforth prurchased in excess of our cxports.

We shall buy less and sell more, and soon begin to reduce our foreign debt, in- stead of continually inereasing it. Of course, we presume that ou’Currcm‘y would be gradually diminished in volume as it increased in value; but we do not desire any legislation to this end. What we demand is simply that our Government shall cease to lie Dby the ream. We sco no practical use in re- pealing the Legal Tender act; we would only make the Legal Dollar equal in valuo to a real doMar, so that the Legal Tender act would work 1fo wrong and impose no hardship. Make the Greenback dollar equal in value to a Gold dollar, and its being or not being a legal tender would be of no account to a cred- itor, while a dcbtor might often be shielded from an exhibition of spite or malice by hLis legal right to pay his debt in Such lawful money as he happened to possess. $ We refuse to be drawh into controversy as to the present volume of our Currency being too large or otherwise, or as to the prefera- bility of Gold to Greenbacks or (ireenbacks to the noteg of National Banks, We ouly insist that gteenbacks shall be redecmable at sight in gold, and National bauk notes in green- Dbacks, so that the people may take their cholce. Experience will soon determine how much Currency we need ; when that amount, and no move, will remain in circulation, and the pro- portion of Gold, Greenbacks, and Bank notes, will be such a3 the public interest and con- venience shall require. Wo dectdedly object to prospective Resump- tion, that it is calculated to depress Enterp and diminish Employment. The capitalist will neturally say, “I can’t afford to improve a “farm, or build a house, or make any perma- “pent improvement whtever; beeause labor and “materials will be cheaper as we approach “resnmption: so I will hoard my means and “ywait.” Hence idleness, want, and suffering. But let us restme at once, and, after a transient pause, the priee of labor, materials, and every commodity, will*adjust itself to the new basis; and then houses may he built and lands im- proved, with a reasonable expee ation of profit. Mechanies will pot obtain #4 per day, as now; but $3 will buy as much as #1 does at present, and there will be more building, more plant- ing, and everything will soon be looking up. We rest on these truths: 1. He who owes debts fully due ongzht to pay them if he can. 1L It is the interest of all sonnd Business and useful Industry that onr Currency should bo of fixed and uniform value, and that a dollar should mesn the same to-day, to-mor- row, and cvery day in the year. # L. “The true way to prepare for Resump- “tion is to resume So says Sahmon P, Cha and we most heartily agree with Lim, ——— ECHOES FROM REBEL STATES. So much freedom of action is given to the Southern people by the Reconstruction bill, that their opinions are now of unusual import ance, and for this reason we print, in anoth column, extracts from nearly gil the leading papers of the Rebel States, What they shought of the Freedmen's Burean, or the Civil Rights bill, was of little practical matter, for these were laws which no opiniond could affect. -But the apirit in which they re- coive the Reconstruetion bill is of profound intercst to the North; : for that im- while | poses a law, it offers a method by which the provisions of that law may be in part nullif The organie changes it is intended to ms the hargiony it is hoped it will restore, can only be entirely secured by the voluntary action of the Southern people. Congress in making this law provided for the lonment of its ab- I of the Rebol States, and gave the power to fix the period of their re- storation, With searcely jovruals doclare the new and, with equal approach to unanimity, hold the plan of reconstruetion to be worse than military The (Congress, the tion the: Southern an act of tyranny, an - excoy o rle. infamous act of | famous madness of Congress, the insnlt to the South, ate the Southern definitions of the bill, It is not the authority of the bayonet that chiefly arouses this storm of indig wtion—that conld be borne—it is the method of restoration. » “ Any military rigor,” says The Charleston Dis- pat “is prefera to the voluntary debase- “ment and infamy, and the permanent, irre- “qrieval min the Southern States will incur "l.y adopting the terma of this bill” Tmpartial suffrage, and the exelusion of Rebel leaders from the workfof reconstruction, are the hated conditions. tq which we are told the South will - never submit. It demands as a right that it shall reénter . the Union as it left the Union, without peualties, without reforms, without concessions, It admits *no erime in treason and rebellion, and therefore no need for reconstruction ;> when Lee surren- dered, reconstruction: was accomplished ; the Nortl is now the sole obstacle to peace. These are the dogifias upon wlrich the Rebel States have badéd their peremptory demand for reprosentation, and ihese the principles which the North will never ddmitecaunot admit, withont concedjug its actions for six years to have been as cruel and causeless as the worst encmics of the Unign assert, e We think it i3 plain hat the Rebel States opposed to accepting the offer of Congress, ‘and yield to military rule only because that cannot be Lelped. “The only good reason “for not appealing to arms in this con- “juncture,” says The Macon New Lra, “is the “hopelessness of success,” Appeal must made to the Supreme Court; that failing, nothing is left but abject submission. In these * dark colors the picture is painted; a people enslaved, sovercign States deprived-of their rights, are the themes of those who would forget that hravery was conplad with treason, and that sovepeign States themseives destroyed the rights they now long to regain. In this de- spogdent mood the South, anxious to exagger- uxfic {ts martyrdom, hopes the spgotacle of ‘its miseries will excito the pity of its pemorseless foe. “We are -the abject slaves of the st “unpyigeipled tyrants that ever disgraced the “earth.” How long this Lysterical pagsion will last we do not venture to prediet, but at present we find the Rebel States firmly resolved to suffer any penalty rather than make a solitary concession ,of principle to the Government, “We must do nothing ;" “Jot not our people aid in their own degrada-" “tion;” “we can submit, but will not organize “an affirmation of disgrace;” “we can live “undér such a damnable tyranny, but if we “consent to it, we deserve it.” It i3 in this way that the generous and just offer of Con- gress i3 received, and the loyal States are ex- pressly informed that “it is not for the peo- “ple of the South to help them out of their “difficultios.” We think differently. We hold that it is for thé people of the South to help the nation out of difficulties of which their treason and re- bellion the sole causes. They cannot do nothing without dolug wroug to us and to themselves. By the sp in which they sur- rendered, the spirit in which after their surren- der the penaltics of their crimes were in no case imposed by the Government, they afe bound to give up to us the prize for which we fought—a perfect Union, a regenerated nation, Freedom and Equality for all. We are glad to sev that of the organs of Southern opinion some in part admit these sacred obligations, and are anxious to believe that with reflection will come wisdom and moderation. Let the Rebel States remember that this is the second time the loyal States have offered them fair terms of repre- sentation, strict but not unkind. They rejected the Constitutional Amendment as an insult, and threaten to defeat the intent of this law by re- fusing to take any part in its execution. Bub they are in error if they suppose that, by the injury tho North endures from their indiffer- encé and inaction, it will be diverted from a purpose which it knows to be just and gener- ous, because Mercy and igs;'&&-g }{ ; fl;;}:léhusg SCLSC ATe One, “CONSERVATIVE” NIGGERS. The World, after a little coy hesitation, frankly advises its Southern friends to accept the situ- ation, organize under the Reconstruction act, and fraternize with the negroes.

This is o con- itton of things winch ought t be improved while it lasts, by such kind treatmont and educational helps as will 1ead them to look to their White neighbors, fustead of the Qistant Yankees, as theie benefactors.

But the hlmfmr plvllri’ul all would be to stand still and do nothing, t Rad izing the negroes, and thereby Africauizing the South.” Remarks.—~The better half of the above is quite true; and it is a striking confirmation of what we have been urging upon the Southern politicians ever since Lee's surrender. Had those politicians been wise enongh to anticipate Lincoln’s second Proclamation of Freedom by decrecing universal and instant Emancipation, calling every able-hodied negro to arms, and promising him forty acres of good land on the return of Peace with Independence, they would probably have triumphed. Lee and his lieuten- ants were ready for this; but the politicians would not be taught by events, but insisted that, having begun the contesg for Slavery, they must fight for Slavery to last, though the certainty of defeat thereby stared them full in the face. So they ouly consented to frec and arm the negrofs after their canse had become hopeless. The Union having triumphed by Emancipa- tion, it was the manifest policy, the clear inter- est, of the Southerners, to turn at once to the Blacks and say, “We upheld Slavery so long “us we could, because we believed it best for us “and for yon. But Slavery is dead and yon are “free: now we will show you that we were “lonest in our devotion to Slavery by treating “you justly and kind} freemen. Choose your “ywisest and best men for consultation with us; “lot them tell us what guaranties you require “for your rights, and they shall be freely ac- “corded. We are of different races, and must “remain so; but we are all Americans and “Southerners ; and, if we do not henceforth live “ harmony, it shall not be our fault.” The Southrons can persist in the old folly if they will. As the Dutch justice correctly de- cided, “If God Almighty decrees that a man “shall bite his own nose off, then he will bite it “off.” And it is very clear that the Southrons caunot now control the negro vote as they would if they had anticipated Lincolu’s second Proclamation of Freedom, nor even as they might if they Lad frankly accepted the situa- tion npon Lee's surrender. They cannot safely s The World would have them, on the negroes’ “ temporary inability to read;” for, in this age, intelligence is sped on the wings of the lightning. The negroes that have been mur- dered and the negro school-houses that bave been burned—not by Republicans—will bother them. The foolishly tyrannical }m\'n they have ted since Lee's surrender touching Negro stimony, Negro Labor, Negro Land-owning, ro Arms-bearing, &c., will all rise up in judgment against them. But the better class of old plaaters are still regarded with kindly con- fidence .and afteetion by thousands of their ex- slaves, gud ean exert a great influence over them if it be not neutralized by incorrigibles of the school of the Monroes and Pollards, with the donkeys who will want to run *White Man's tickets,” as at Georgetown; as if on pur- pose to repel every negro vote.

The matter is not to be settled by letter-writing.
