Our nuances -The First Stop in the
Right Direction.
"We are plad to see that the House of Repre
sentatives have at last laid as do the disease
eion of the negro, and speech making on the
political relations of States; have at last
ceased to flght party and pe-sonal baHlos,
and have taken their first step In the direction
ol ulflHing the duty for which they were sent
to the Capital. We commented some time
eince on the inefficiency which had heretofore
characterized the course of Congress. We
regretted most keenly that their good sense
and patriotism did not dictate to them the
necessity of acting on questions of national
importance, and not fritter away their time
in frivolous discussion or partisan harangues
, After a session of eighty days the House has
proceeded to the consideration of the Finance
Bill, -as reported by the Committee ot Ways
and Means. The need of some decisive finan
cial action is evident. For months the Secre
tary of the Treasury has been bound, not by
any legal enactment, but by the absence of
tho necessary authority. If we remember
rightly, the bill was reported weeks ago, but
a desire to ventilate peculiar doctrines on the
subject of Reconstruction has prevented It
being acted upon until yesterday. While the
orators debate, the national finances must
suffer.
The debate upon the bill was opened by
Hon. Justin S. Morrill, Chairman of the
Committeo ol Ways and Means, In a powerful
speech, a weak dilution of which is contained
in the Associated Press despatch. Mr. Mor
rill complimented the nation on the success
with which it had selected a gentleman to
fill the onerous and responsible post ot Secre
tary of the Treasury. He said : " We have
been fortunate In our Secretaries of the Trea
sury during the past five years, one of whom
was appropriately called to occupy the highest
judicial station. It was a relief to the loyal
people when his successor, Mr. Fessenden,
was appointed, commanding, as he did, so
much of the public confidence. These men
asked and received all they wanted from
Congress, and did not betray their trust;
and now we have a Secretary of the Trea
sury, in Mr. McCulloch, whose conduct has
won golden opinions at home and abroad, and
a vote ot' unexampled unanimity on the part
of this House. His highest ambition seemed
to be that of a financier. His fame in that di
rection will be permanent, while mere politi
cal power is ephemeral. "
We also must loin wi h the speaker in his
cangrat'.ilation over the genius and ability of
our later Secretaries. 1 he first displayed a
talent worthy of the successor ot Alex
ander B a milt ox; the second, a skill as a
supporter of the edifice erected and the pre
sent efficient officer is eminently fitted to
settle on a permanent basis the pile hurriedly
built up during the struggles and convulsions
Of war.
The prosperity which, seems so universal,
which is acting as a beneficial reviver of the
drooping energies of the nation, is too likely
to be viewed as permanent sunshine, and the
dreamers of security will only awaken from
their fond hopes to find the calm is but the
lull that precedes the storm. Congress seems
impregnated with the delusion, and the warn
ing issued by Mr. Morrill seems to us well
timed "Let no one be deceived. All our ,
financial dangers are not yet passed. The
perils ol high rates of interest and even com
mercial revulsion may overtake us unless our
aflairs are managed with consummate skill."
Certain gentlemen expressed a doubt in
regard to the propriety of giving into the
hands of the Secretary of the Treasury such
power as was guaranteed him by tho' bill.
We have sufficient confidence in the integrity
Mr. McCulloch to entrust him with the
stewardship. He has as much to lose by mis
management or fraud as the people. His
reputation, "the immortal portion of himself,'
1 a At Cil rr t ant riA Ann nnw rtli af1 r n ci t
AO (11 DWiHC) HUU VltU DO. J j TY ILLX VOODtU
'Who steals my purse steals trash." We are
ready to trust him, not only because of his
unimpeachable Integrity, but also because it
is a national necessity. After the adjournment;
of Congress, should the motion of Mr. Ste
yens to strike out the discretionary clause
prevail, the Secretary will be made helpless j
without power to take any steps towards
funding the debt ; powerless he would stand
in the eyes of the world, stamped with the
odium that Congress had not sufficient confi
dence In his honor to leave to him the
question of when the public exigencies re
quired that the treasury notes should be ex
changed for U. S. bonds. Notwithstanding
the sweeping assertion of Mr. Stevens, that
the "bill gave Into the hands of the Secretary
the disposal of one thousand six hundred
and forty-four mlllllons ($1,644,000,000) of
dollars," a closer inspection will show that
he has merely the power to change that sum
from one shape to another. As the teller of
a bank can give fractional currency for hun
dred-dollar bills, and may make this exchange
to the extent of hundreds of thousands, with
out giving him any additional responsibility,
so can the Secretary of the Treasury give
bonds in place of treasury notes to the enor
, mono extent quoted. But, as Mr. Moxbill
says, "He cannot increase the public debt one
THE DAILY EVfiNiNG TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, : FEBRUAItY 22, 1860.
cent" He only changes its form. If Con
gress has not sufficient " confidence In the
ability of Mr. McCulloch because, should
be be ever no dishonest, he would have no
opportunity for fraud under the new laws
If they doubt his ability, they had better
refuse all appropriations, and make him the
mcie tool of Mr. Stevens' direction.
We earnestly hope that the bill will pass,
although the necessities of the case may
demand that some modification be made in
the wide limit given under its present pro
visions. It is impossible that such an amount
as a fifteen hundred millions be funded
in a year. Let the sum to be thus exchanged
be lim'ted. Say let it be made a certain
number ot hundreds of millions, and let the
t lscretion of tho Secretary be supreme within
that limit. This would remedy the danger
suggested by Mr Kkllky, that if the Secre
tary saw fit to make a sweeping contraction
It would compel the national banks to sell
their securities to meet the demand. We
have the most perfect confluence in Mr. Mc
Culloch, but in the ever-chancing appear
ance of the political horizon there may arise
contingencies which would make it proper that
some security be given to prevent the carry
ing to an excess of what, under the present
Secietary, will be only conducive to tho
national prosperity.
Professional Dignity.
There are certain people in every profession
who seem to be called upon to elevate the de
corum and dignity of whole classes. They are
the self appointed "Turveydrops" of society
who furnish deportment and nothing else. If we
are to believe these marvels, the whole aim
ot life is to assume a Spbynx-like rlzldity of
manner, and a countenance of bland self-importance,
to pass daily among our fellows with
unruffled serenity and suavity, and we have
arrived as near perfection as mortal may.
Every walk of life presents us with "Dom-
beys," who are simply human icebergs glit
tering, but cold. The pulpit holds men who
never get down near enough to a human soul
to shoot one ray of sunshine into its gloom.
There be legal gentlemen, who button their
broadcloth over bosoms that never feel a touch
of pity for the unfortunate wretches who have
fallen into their clutches, but whose very blood
they are sucking with a vampire's ferocity.
Merchants sit comfortably in their carpeted
counting-rooms and contrive, over their
morning paper, a scheme to overreach a rival.
We have heard political orators debate ad
libitum upon the necessity of a dign'ty in
statesmanship, when, perhaps, they were,
within the last hour, consulting bullies and
bravoes at some neighboring pot-house, and
who have more than been suspected of having
flDgered bribes while in the discharge of their
public duties. In our own professloa we have
any quantity of these thinly lacquered
lespectables. Some days ago we waded
through a column of stuff in a prominent
New Tork weekly, which was simply a sug
gestion that the journalistic profession should
endeavor to exalt its position, and assume a
more dignified and controlling stand-point.
The sentiment is a very true one, and will
apply to every other profession or calling.
The world could be much improved, and
would be, if every one in it was to faithfully
do his duty In the sphere where Providence
placed him.' But this continual reading of
homilies to editors and reporters Is a most
emphatic nuisance. If all the articles writtea
since the world began, on this subject alone,
were gathered, the collection would rival the
Boyal Library in size, and the annual produc
tions ot our Historical Society in weight, i
Every one who has brains enough to write
a newspaper article ougnt to snow, wituout
the suggestion, that he should so demean him
self as to bring no discredit upon the guild.
We believe that there is as mach talent, re
spectability, and dignity among the news
paper writers as in any other class or calling
of its numbers In the world, and, therefore,
we regard the whole of this incessant babble
as a disguised slander upon tho entire craft j
We are led to believe, from our knowledge
of the facts, that these appeals for dignity are
generally the results of parturition on
the part ; of the more youthful members
of the guild. Naturally, a young man, fresh
from college, loves to see his name and views
in print, and, consequently, their productions,
though rhetorically fair, are sophomorical, and
mostly upon topics in which no one takes
any special Interest j
All the talking upon the subiect that can
be done between this and tho end of time will
not advance the profession one particle, if its
members acknowledge their own abasement
and shame, but not by acts attempt to do bet
ter themselves. Dignity is not appurtenant
to position or place. The coal-heaver may la
his place act as dignified a part as a prince :
in fact, frequently does do so. Lit us believe
with Pope, "Act well your part, there all the
honor lies," and the profession will have all the
d'gnity'that is needful to give it character aud
standing.
We Abe glad to see that the Board of
Trade of this city, at Its last meeting, adopted
a resolution recommending to the favorable
consideration of Congress the petition ot the
officers of the navy for an increase of pay.
The officers of the navy have gone through
the war without promotion, and on a pay re
duced from below that of 1800. ' This fact,
with the depreciation of the currency, the ln.
creased price of living, and the addition of the
Government tax. makes their pay less thau
is .necessary for even their decent support
We trust Congress will , acknowledge the,
claims of the navy, and give it not only pocu
niary relief, but well-merited and Justly earned,
promotion. Besides, to those wno are opposed
to anv additional appropriation, we would
suggest the extremely small number of offl
ceri who have gone through the war, and
who will be continued in the service now that
the contest is ended. It is an act of simple
justice, that they be given additional pay, and
when Justice and economy combine, we see
no cause for a refusal to grant the request of
the becratary of the Navy and the Board of
rade.
FINANCE AND COMMERCE
Officii of thb Eybnino TEt.saiuPH, )
Thursday, Februarj 22, 18(18. (
There was no meeting of the Board of Broken
this morning, and business was entirely sus
pended. The banks, banking-houses, and most
of the stores throuehout the city were closed.
Tho New York Times this morning says:
"The turn in the money market rmlocd yestor
day brought into the ftrect, this forenoon, a
good many fresh lenders at the advanced rates
of C7 per cont, and tho 8tock Broken made
up their wants in Rood season, at irom 6 to 7 Per
cent; in roost instance at the Inside nguro. The
speculators in (Sold and Exchange, or their
brokers, bid lull 7 per cent tor money early m
the day, anl were also supplied. Exchange on
London, alter the eailins of tne etoH'ner, was
quoted at 108jl08 tor standard Bankers and
1081084 'or Southern Bank or Bankers' credit?.
Some of tacse bills with city bank indorsement
were done at 108J per cent. The California
steamer arrived this morning, and added about
a million and a quarter of dollars to tho supply
of gold."
The New York Tribune this morn'ng says:
"The pressure for money growlns out of the salo
of poll by the Government has demonstrated
ihc tact that the banks of this c.ty aro not over
loaded with plain legal tenders, and aro not pre
pared for any drain in that quarter. Tho last
official report allowed m round numbers $0V

Sub-Treasury and compound Interest notes. ' It

"Tho Assistant Treasurer can aid the bank b by
waiving the ten days notice upon tho deposits of
the banks with htm. but this process is uot one
to make money easy upon the streets, or amon
merchant."
A letter was received at the Treasury De
partment, enclosing $1!)0 in greenbacks, the re
sult of ono of the most curious cases of con
scientious scruples which has yet come under
tho observation ol the Department. It was from
a late officer in the army, who while in the ser
vice had received pay lor two servants, to which
the ran he held clearly entitled him, but to
which tho parly considered he had no just claim.
The amount returned to tho Government was
the pay received for the commuted hire of ono
of the servants, with th? interest addsd at 7 3-10
per cent.
The Cincinnati Commercial says: "The dis
count demand for money is steady aud un
changed in its character, with an easy fee-limr
iiinong bankers as to those customers who can
assert positive claims for favors. A9 heretofore
remarked, bankers can keep their meaas so well
employed in handling securities as to make; a
Man standard of rates ot interest. Exchano'is
still moie firm, making necessary further ship
ments of currency." ... ; .
t he Chicago lYimne snys:
"Business during last week was interfered with
to a great extent by the weather, in consequence
of which the mails have been delayed, freights
of all kind a have been kept back, and the markets
have ruled dull and heavv. The money market
is necessarily quiet, but as compared with - the
demand for currency, the supply is more ample,
and the market is considerably easier than for
merly; but the rates ot discount are steady at
the bank' at 10 per cent, per annum, and on the
street 1224 per cent." ' ,

In the House of Representatives the franchise
bill came up on its third leading. Mr. 8. 8. Ral-
sron, ot Marion, arose ana moved the previous
Question. The call was sustained bv 38 to 21.
The Speaker decided the bill not carried, as the
vote snowea no quorum present.
Mr. Arnell made the point ot order that there
wa9 a quorum present and that tho obstinacy of
the minority in refusing to answer to their names
ought not to be permitted to defeat the will of
the House ana obstruct the legislation ot the
State. Tbo Speaker overruled the point. i
Mr. Arnell appealed irom the decision of the
Chair, but h Speaker would not entertain the
appeal, because, he said, there was no quorum
to act upon it. At this met vicious ruling,
some members of the malority lost all patience.
Mr. James Mullins declared that there was a con
spiracy to defeat the action of the House, and
said he would not bo surprised if certain
persons were cornizant of it.
The rpeaiter waniea to Known Air. jaaiuns
meant him. j
Mr. Mullins very plainly hinted that he did.
whereupon the Speaker jumped excitedly from
his chair, called him a d d old liar, hurled his
mallet at hit head, and demanded a pistol to
shoot him. Everybody in the hall spraue to
their feet. The conservatives crowded around
the Speaker, and the Union men around Mul
lins. and a general flgnt seemed Imminent. - i
Mr. Mullins returned the Speaker's epithets
with interest, but Mesrs. Posten, Elliott, Smith,
ot Hardeman, and other moderate geutlemen.
succeeded in pouring oil J upon the troubled
waters. Under the Speaker's ruling it was evi
dent no vote could be taken. 1
