OPINIONS OF TUB LKAMNfJ JOURNALS CPON CURRENT TOI'M'H (OMIMLKD KVE11Y DAT FOR TBB EVKMNCJ TliLFORAl'H. BUgkt AVe Resume Forthwltlif jrynm the Tribune. Our valued correspondent J. S. P. contro verts in our last our assumption that the J'edoral Governiimnt niight redumo apttcie p.iy iionts to-day if it would. We will lrielly Rejoin. We decline to speculate as to the amount of I circulating medium annually needed ly our people, liecausG no sure conclusion can be yeaohod from data bo loose and uncertain; but one element which J. S. P. ignores we will ask Lira to consider. With a restricted currency, jnost of the commercial transactions of the country are based on credit. Goods aro bought of the importers or manufacturers on credit; sold by the jobbers to the retailers on credit; and distributed on credit to the con sumer. Three to niiie months afterwards (if ever) the consumer pays for them in produce, and the accounts are somehow liquidated no money, or next to none, having linen mn yloyed from first to last. Laborers for hire stre paid in produce, "orders," or "storo-pay," 3iot live per cent, of their earnings taking the ionn of money. We do not consider this a desirable mode of effecting exchanges; yet, with a restricted currency, it is inevitable. With an ample currency, there is no excuse for paying for labor, produce, or goods other vise than in cash; and a billion is needed where a tithe of it was formerly made to answer. We consider half a million a modu late estimate for our present needs. What we propose is, that the currency be allowed to adjust itself to the wants of the community, as it will do if wo simply allow the greenbacks to bo funded in Five-twenties at the pleasure of the holder; and that is what the Government once pledged itself to do. (Just read the back of a greenback if you doubt it.) Whenever the currency shall prove redundant, the greenbacks will be con verted into Five-twenties, and the national banks thus forced to contract until an equili brium is established. We are still unable to assent to our corres pondent's assumption that, upon resuming, we should need a credit of $200,000,000 in 3iurope, or its equivalent in coin, "merely to ;ase the demand for specie here." We insist that our creditors in Kurope would be more 3ikely to increase than reduce their invest ments in our securities upon the strength of tidings that our Government had resumed specie payments; and we hold that our imports would be diminished and our exports in creased as immediate consequences of resump tion. We might even draw gold from Europe, because of the temporarily favorable rates of exchange, as we actually did in 1801; and it anust be borne in mind that our product of gold and silver is so great that we gain specie whenever our exports thereof do not exceed our imports by more than $2,000,000 per week. The Seven-thirties are all that remain to embarrass resumption; and these are now being converted into Five-twenties at the rate of several millions per day. That is to say : the holders of Federal securities soon to fall due are gladly exchanging them for bonds at lower interest, which the Government is not at liberty to pay for live years, and need not pay till the expiration of twenty years. The Seven-thirties, then, at the worst, can only servo as a bugbear for a few weeks longer; while we do not admit that their conversion would be arrested if we should resume to-day. It is intlatir n that prompts people to invest in all manner of wild lands, gold mines, oil wells, etc. etc., by holding out a prospect of vast and rapid gains. Give us instant re sumption, and most thrifty people would deem six per cent., untaxed, a very good interest. In a "tight money market," the heaviest capitalists would prefer six per cent, on' Gov ernment bonds, always readily convertible, to twelve on mercantile paper, liable to bo whisked into the gulf of general bankruptcy. Lastly, as to the "operators in gold." We calculate that the bulk of this class would be just about like Hies on a frosty November morning. They would break the Govern ment, would they ? With what ? The crossing-sweepers of London, should they conspire to run the Hank of England, might doubtless crowd her doors, and make her neighborhood tumultuous; yet "the old lady in Thread needle street" wouuT.be apt to withstand the pressure. So the 'treasury, backed by the solvent interests and capitalists of the coun try, would withstand the most desperate charges of the gold gamblers. For and this our correspondent seems stubbornly to ignore the interests bound up In the success of resumption are as strong to-day as those of the bummers, and would be ten times stronger from and after resumption. Those who had been betting their pile on per sistent inflation and national insolvency, would be generally "cleaned out" by the mure fact of resumption. They would be very nearly in the position of the great bully in Albany, who, when the banks suspended specie payment in 1837, electrified the vast mob collected on the street by jumping np and smacking his lists together, eagerly exclaiming, "1 wish to God that I had a ! bill ! ' make 'em pay!" Doubtless the bummers would like to break the Treasury; but the s?HM,(KK,tMH in cash or its equivalent required for that nice operation wouldn't bo in their hands exactly. On the contrary, those who have been liviii" magnificently on the interest of what they owe would have sharp work to find money for their daily marketing or to pay their weekly board bills; while the solid capitalists, the sound bankers, the fund-holders and with them the army, the navy, the omce-holoers, the multi tudinous clerks and other employes livin" on fixed salaries would all realize that it was for their interest that specie payment should ,e maintained. The banker who owes 2W,000 in all, and has $300,000 due him from the Gov srnment and from solvent customers, must realize that he will be worth at least 25,000 more if resumption stands than he will be if we sink back into national insolvency. Rail road wen will say, "Hold on to resumption, and we will buy engines, cars, rails, chairs, fuel, oil, etc. etc,, cheaper than now, while our receipts will not long be essentially reduced." ven the poorest widow of a dead I'nion sol dier will say, "My $8 per month will buy more bread and clothes for my babes if re sumption stands;" and her prayers and sym pathies will be worth something to the right side. So every laborer who is under contract to work at a fixed price for the eiiBuinx sea son would have a direct interest in the main tenance of specie payments. And every de positor in a savings bank would be richer lor its achievement. Against Buch an array of interest on the rii?ht side reaching from the Astors and Van- durbilts down to the million or so of freedmen who have agreed to make oottou from this to next January for 10to $1'2 per month, besides their food and shelter what could the most reckless charges of the bunimors, the most desperate devices of the gold-gamblers, avail f Of course, the heathen would rage for a little while; but it would Iks impotent,1 toothless rage, ns they would soon realize; and half the "curbstone brokers" in Wall street would bo quietly hoeing corn in Iowa or digging gold in Idaho by the Fourth of July next. And tho transformation once made they would heartily agree with everybody elso in the con clusion that it was a wholesomo change for them and a capital thing for the country. We are firm in the conviction that the Gov ernment might safely resume to-day, appeal ing trankly to the solvency and the patriotism o f the eountrv to sustain it in so doing. And we never shall hasten resumption while we talk of it as something to bo done by and by, when it needs but tho courage and the will to do it at once. "The fault, clear Brutus, Is not In our stars, Hut In ourselves. thnt we are undorliugH." The Democratic Party, Front the THmes. The positive refusal of the Democratic Na tional Committee to call the National Conven tion of the party which lias been demanded by so many State and local Conventions throughout the country, was probably felt to bo a necessity of the political situation. At the same time it furnishes proof of the chaotio condition of the once compact aud united De mocratic organization. The continued and almost uninterrupted defeats, ithas everywhere met with for years past, havo assuredly con tributed to this. Hut it is doubtless owing still more to the fact that the party, as a whole, can settle upon no policy competent to tho occasion. On hardly any point do tho Democrats of the North agree with their fellow-Democrats of the South. To demand simply that Southern representa tives be admitted to Congress is easy enough, but every one feels what a short distance this now goes in the way of settling tho diffi cult questions that require solution. There are political and civil relations to be adjusted which this would not help. There are points of law, loyaltp, justice, and "State rights" to be established which this would only embar rass. And yet even in regard to this appa rently simple matter of the admission of Southern representatives, the Democracy of the North and South would not agree or at least would not dare to jniblii li agree. Even the Democracy in the North would not con cede (publicly concede) that there should bo some loyal qualifications for representatives. They would not be willing (publicly willing) that the old Rebel leaders should be allowed to come back and occupy places in the Senate and House. l!ut the Southern Democrats if wo may judge by their action take entirely opposite ground, and consider the point an important one, too. In the elections they held last year for Senators and Representatives, they elected, in a large number of cases, men who were prominently connected with the Rebellion; and they did this, too, although they were aware that the Congressional oath stood in their way. They constantly tell us that the Southern people will not consent to punish or degrade those whom they selected as leaders ! in the days of their difficulty, and that Con- j gress has no right to exclude members on that ground. As the national Democracy could I not agree even upon this primary question, it J is hard to see how they could expect to agree upon the prolbunder matters that agitate the j country and affect the party. To construct a political platform that would be at all acoepta- . bio in the different sections aud States would , be an impossibility. It was discreet, therefore, in tho party lead- ers to refuse to call the Convention, even I although this refusal will create great dissatis , faction and tend still mors to demoralize the i party. They expect that by another year, or ! by the time for the National Convention to j nominate a Presidential candidate, things will ' look more hopeful for harmonfous action, and, therefore, they direct the Democratic rank i and file in the North and South to wait and work as best they can. Time may justify : them in this expectation, but events will have to travel faster than time, if it does. Another Fentan Scare In Canada. from the Herald. The raw head and bloody bones of ferocious Fenianism has again presented itself to the ex cited imaginations of the Canadian people. In the ( 'onvention which was held tho other day in Chicago to raise more funds on Fenian bonds the Canadians could see nothing but formidable organizations for the invasion of the embryo kingdom, and the various public meetings that have been held for the purpose of letting off the effervescence that tho recent outbreak in Ireland erected among the Irish in this country, have tended to throw our neighbors over tho border into a dreadful state of bloodthirstiness. Regulars and volunteers, with muskets and Held pieces, swords and sabres, have been pressed on to the frontier, with the full expectation of meet ing armed bands of Fenian invaders. We are of opinion, however, that the Canadians this time will find little cause for their prema ture scare. Southern Hecouatructlou. From the Herald. The tendency of public feeling all over the South is manifestly in favor of being what we call reconstructed; that is, accepting the terms proposed by Congress as a means of coining into the I'nion, taking their place as States in Congress, and exercising such influence as their numerical representation may command. We learn from Virginia from the Legislature f ti.ot t-it. t'nv evamnle. has received with V 1 1 L 1 1 L 1 1 . HI " , ' - ' I general satisfaction the order ot General Scholield assuming commaiiu miner uie new Military bill. From Georgia, .North ana soutn Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, and Alabama, we also hear that the late secessionists are be coming convinced that the votes of the ne groes will be rather iavoiahle than hosuihio their particular view of reconstruction. The papers generally throughout mo ouiuu iiicai to adopt our plan for the Presidential candi dacy in 1808, with the names of General Grant and General Lee on the ticket for President and Vice-President. That is the most sensi ble thing they could do. There is a spell in such a combination which will unite both North and South, and bring our complications to a speedy Issue. In that single sentence there is more to assure foreign nations that the end of our existing inharmonious condition and the solutions of our troubles can be reached than in the most logical arguments that could be used. And now that the question of reconstruction is approaching a settlement, when slavery, the primary cause of the Rebellion, is abolished, and the Rebellion has gone with it to the tomb of the Capulets, and the Southern States are on the road to aoeept the inevitable necessities of the hour, what is the use of retaining tho leader of the Rebellion in cus tody any longer ? Jeff. Davis is perfectly harmless. He can do no mischief if set at largo on his parole to atiswer any charges that may be brought against him. Congress should, therefore, pass a resolution requesting the President to release him. Such a measure could do no possible harm. On the contrary, it would do much to encourage tho good spirit which, in spite of the renniant of poli tical fire-eaters left in the South, is evidently now beginning to prevail there. Fdienden of Maine. I'rom the World. Ono of the Maine journals presents the name of William Pitt Fessenden as a proper candidate for the next Presidency, and we are surprised to see that tho Huston I'osf, a ster ling Democratic paper, thinks that Fessenden is by no means the worst man that might be proposed for the position. The Post, doubt less, looks with favor on Fessenden because he snubs Sumner and tho other Senatorial wind-bag from Massachusetts, aud now and then boldly attacks even the terrible Wade. These, however, are but uegativo qualities, due to tho generally acrid disposition of the Senator from Maine, which prompts him to now and then pitch into something 0r some body, even the schemes and Senators in his own political family. It is well enough, however, to credit Mr. Fessenden with something, for there is not a single Senator who is so constantly and so immensely overrated. He is simply a shrewd, sharp, "down-east" lawyer, who makes the most of what God has given him, and a great deal more of what he has been able to get from his party. He is in no sense a statesman, and his presumed greatness as a Senator is due solely to his relative rank in point of Par liamentary ability as compared with such Senators as Sumner, of Massachusetts, Sprague, of Rhode Island, and other and lesser radicals who sit around him. Among the giants of other days the Clays, Websters, Calhouus, Douglases, and Wrights Fessen den would be a political pigmy. Indeed, his appearance at all in public life is probably and mainly due to the fact that nearly every mem ber of the Fessenden family floated into some office, and he was swept in with tho tide. In some sections, and in the remoter regions of Maine especially, he is looked upon as a "great financier;" but his whole course as Secretary of the Treasury marks him only as a great financial failure. Recause he delights in snubbing his political associates, Wade, Wilson, and Sumner, the Hoston Post may he deluded into the idea that Fessenden has a streak of convervatism in his composition, and tho idea has obtained widely. It is a delusion; there is not a more malignant radi cal in the whole party. If he opposes a radi cal measure, it is only because it is not radi cal enough, lie has more than once appeared as a lobbyist in the House to "put through" offensive measures which did not succeed to his satisfaction in the Senate. He is a parti san, and nothing else; and he is the poorest of all persons to put in nomination for the Presidency, since neither his intelligence nor his principles warrant his elevation to that office.
