Lawn's resolution to limit the iioiubT ol rule tit Reports, the liotio Jat w (ktook one imporrnut step totvnrd rdorm. We truht it v ill not Ims the last. Mr. Laflln'j speech reveal some fnt r slnkiiii? enough, we f ko'ild itnifre, to ronipel the utr.-rition of the Ilouse, and enforce the nec.C'Hbity of vigilant economy in the future. CertHlnlv the country enu liuvc licie uleii of the extent t which the d'ovemment luia ftotie into the printing business, or o' tho nniouut of money It expends. In Uin sinele item covered by Mr. Lallin's resolution, previous extravagance has been enormous. The Patcnt Otllco reports tor 18G3 and lnH are still imprinted, but orders are on file tor 40,(100 extra copies, which would cost $2H6i each. Tire Commissioner made a most pertinacious etlort to have bis allownnco continued, but the I'ruit lnu Couimlitee reduced the number for 18t' to 10,01!) lor the commissioner, and 6000 for tho Houhc, which was finally changed so that the Lkiihe loo the Innrer number. By the tunic resolution the number tortbe two previous years w us reduced in like proportion, and the amount Urna aaved is no lens thnn $12,700 on this one bock. In the Senate. 20,000 volumes of the report lint ticen ordivd for 1803 and 18ii4. and an crtort Will doubtless be made to secure tho same num ber tor Jn.'t year. Hut we trust Senator Anthony, who is Chairman of the Senate Printine Com mittee, will follow the excellent example Mr. Lailin and the House has set hitn, and cut down tie allowance at least one-half. That would bo a further eavinpot $43,650 in all $172,350 011 one of the diudv, many books which book-loving Uncle Hum stretches his pocket to print. This business of Government printing has grown to gicantic proportions. Mr. Latlin has taken pains to Inform hmii-elt, and is undoubt edly correct, when be uta'es to tho House that the amount of paper used by the 'jovernmeut during last year i one-thirteenth of all tho paper mndo in the United State according to the census of lS'A The amount paid was a little over $1,700,000, and tho total census value was $23,154,020. This Hovernment is, in fact, the greatest publUhinsr-house in tho world, and its publications lust vear cost one-twelfth as much as all the issues in tho country in lHfii), including newspapers and periodicals. The Government bill was $2,700,000 all the rest $31, 003, S'.)8, and at this moment. 1n spite ot tho immense tact lit lea enjoyed in Washington, the printers are so lar behindhand that, if all orders wire suspended, books already ordered cannot be had lor a jear. Jet there is no hope that orders will be bus pe tided; they could not be, altoaeiher. What wo hope is that they may he cut down in eaea case to the lowest point. Tho Agricultural Re port is said to be a pet extravagance with the House. They printed last year not. Ies3 than 61M) copies tor each member. Yet not a copy of the report lor 18G5 can be received by any member till after this Coiipreas has expired. Notwith standing which, we hear that tho Printing Com mittee is mped to report in favor of ordering 300,000 copies for the present year, at a cost of not less than $150,000. We- protest against it in advance. Members have an idea that it is a good electioneering document, and their constituents expect it. They will And a vote against this oiit raaeous extravagance tell much more in their favor. Their constituents have learned by this time that tliey get a great deal of rubbish in the shape of cfliciul documents, which are of small use to them, but for which tbev do themselves have to pay. It all coiups out of their pockets In the end. and makes tho taxes so much the heavier. We venture to say the people will be more than content to reduce this outlay, and in luture will scrutinize the yeas and navs to see wh.) is lor economy and who ia tor squandering The Financial J'roblcm How Can it be Solved f From the Herald. The question oftiuancc is one of the most di'.li cult eub ects which our public men have to grapple with at this rime. Next to the restunv tion of the Southern States it is the most Ira- portunt problem that is to be solved at present. Its final solution hinges, to a great extent, upon that of reconstruction, and depends, lu a great measure, on the action of Conjjress in regard to the latter. But, with all the difli- culties surrounding it, with nil the obstacles which now seem to lie in the way, all that is necessary to enable the country to steer clear of breakers and secure an early return to specie basis, ia for those who are called upon to legislate upon tno question to exercise little common sense. Gold is now rapidly de clining, and greenbacks appreciating m value, from tho natural results of the laws of trade, and any attempt to hasten them, either by legis. lation iu Ooncress or contraction by the Secre. tary of the Treasury, will, iu the end, delay, rather than hasten the return to specie pay. ments. Jior will the plan of forcing resumption 01 tpeeie payments by withdrawing the green. backs aud funding them into bonds accomplish the oblect. it will lntertere ana ciog tno biist ness of the country w ithout securing the object aimed at. We cannot resume specie payments as long as our purchases abroad exceed our ex ports to the extern that they have tor the last three years. One treat cause tor the fall of gold at tuu time is the large amount ot cotton wlncl. is being shipped, which reduces tho demand for gold to pay our loreign indent uues. The legislation at Washington may bring about a tall in the metal now and then, throu the simple laci that tho brokers In Wall street, acting upon the belief that it must ro dowu manage to lower the quotations, but this is only temporary and is liable to a reaction the uiomeu th:it the flurry is over. But let the country raise and send to Europe suilicient cotton, or any other product, to more than pay for our pur chases abroad, and there will be no longer a foreign demand for gold, Hnd specie payments will come in spite ot leglslaiion. 'I bis lact, we think, is of itself the great key to thi- solution of our present financial problem. It the members of Congress can tell when we ,t hall export cotton and other products sufficient to pay our debts and our purchases abroad, they can then tlx the day when we can resume specie payments, and all attempts to force it sooner than that will only bring upon us disaster as a punishment for our lolly. The restoration of the South, in order that capital may be invested tor the development of that section, and to ii. crease the supply of the great staple, cotton, ia, therefore, one of the most important steps towards a resumption of specie, payments. I bt tend of withdrawing the greenbacks and forcing specie payments against the natural laws of trade, all legislation on this subject should be based on the laws of com merce. It was this course that enabled England to resume specie payments alter the war with Napoleon. It toot that nation several years to reach a specie basis, but it the radicals iu Congress will only permit the country to bo restored, we can, beyond a doubt, reach specie payments in one or two years, without any contraction ot the " non-iutereBt bearing notes. Ail that is necessary for Congress to do on this question is to decide when it is probable that the exports of products will be equal in value to our import, and tlx that as the time when Miocie pavments shall be resumed. Then mul:o tne greenbacks redeemable in coin on de mand at the treasury and sub-treasuries through out the country. In addition to this enact a law compelling the National banks to redeem their currency in greenbacks, aua vou have a complete system, which will adapt itself to tho demands ot trade ana commerce, nna prevent a rapid inflation ot currency or sudden ttepvceiv tiou of value. The greenbacks will thou In' to this couutry what the notes of the B:mk of Entf land are to that. The notes of that bank are as good as sold the world over, and then is no reason wnv our (lovemiuoui preenbaeltr may not reach the same standard. In older to make, this system cotnoU'le, It would no doubt be noecsiary to iuue ttu S York bank dealing house a sort ii'auxlhary to the Government, a controlling board over 1 lie cur rency, which could, liko the ll-uik ot teii?!aii1, hold in check the o.mks ol the country, in thin manner a oprfect i vrtem cold b 1 formed thut. in a short time, would, with the. develop ment of our comnieiee, make tht tviuntry, in stead of England, the financial centre oi t tie world. Specie pavmciit, reached in this wv, would be permanent, and it could bo accom plished without disHiTous eiiects 1111011 tho buciiifrss ol the countr y. Why will not Congress drop its ruinous contraction scheme", an. I legis late in a common senso way. and in Boenrdaiiee with the. natural laws on this subject? They will find it, In the end. the hottest and most expeditious road to specie payment, wh'la that of returning to a coin basis on the theory ot' c ontraction will prove a delusive, riungpr.ris, and coftlv experiment.

'Sism8 ol tbe Times." j Frvm Vie Timet. Those who hoped and expected that, the read- . lustmtnt ot our great sectional diiucuincs would be t asily effected, find themselves 6orely ' disappointed. The expectation was perhaps an unreasonable One. And .yet, alter the people, the army, and the navy so nobly performed their several duties, it seems hard that stales- i men should tail to solve the lar less dhhoult j part of the problem. The people devoted ! their blood and treasure freely to their j country. No such sacrifices are required irom I statesmen. They are called upon io tuufidce ; nothing but their prejudices and their urn- 1 Ditions. now tartnoy are prepared 10 go in 1 this line ot duty we shall learn. 80 far the I udications are not encouraging. The House of Kt prrsetitalivcs inaugurated, at the bceriu- iiu;g, a Committee ot t itteen, which. In refer ence to all questions that relate 10 reconfr:ic- 1 tion, has been supreme. Practically, the hwalii- i lion ot Congress lias been controlled by hltceu j of iU members. Upon the eiiict ol tn.it Cum- 1 inittee., States which, dmiug tnc Itebeliion we , all maintained could not get out of the Union, ! are held to be out, and the Congressional doors 1 are closed against their Representatives, indis criminately, without regard to the only consti tutional question, vi.., their chtribuity. So that 1 while Secessionists and Copperheads from I Northern States take their teats unchallenged, loval members Irom Tennessee are excluded. Saiilbbury, Irom Delaware, and Davis, from Kentucky, utter their secession ribaldries with impunity, while Maynard, of Tennessee, and Johnson, of Arkansas, are not permitted to serve their constituents or their country. in tho meantime, while this wrong is per sisted in, those who perneirato it are seeking to justify themselves by abusing and slandering the President, inoy charare him. with Jyunsm, though he has neither done or said anything to sustain the accusation. He says that he is car rying out the policy of President Lincoln, chal lenging his enemies to thow any departure from that policy, so lar, then, there is no conflict ot pimciple bctvVccn the President and Congress but such ns prows out of the extreme views of Consrcss upon the question 01 ceerro sullrage. Disguise it as you will, this is the real ca ise of the difference' between the President and Con cress. It takes other forms, but it meaus Vial, and only that. With Dohu Tyler, after the death of President Harrison, the Whig party split upon the United States Bnuk question. Our leaders, with Mr. Ciay at their head, were committed and devoted to the bank, and forced that issue, as they had done in 1832. Tyler, a weak man, was. driven into the Democratic party. The result was aliko disastrous and inglorious to both Tyler and the Whig party. Obli iou8 to the teachings of history, the Ue publican leaders are forming, under kindred circumstances, another fatal issue. Slavery attempted, through Rebellion, to establish a slaye contederacy. That reckless and wicked attempt resulted, most righteously, in the de struction of slavery. And now for the millions of slaves suddenly enfranchised, though they are confessedly unable to provide even food and raiment for themselves, the Republican tenders demand universal suffrage. And this issue is forced upon tho I "resident and the people, just us the United States Dank Issue was forced upon Tyler and the people in 1840. 'Happily, however, President Johnson is a w i?er and stronger man than John Tyler, and instead of going over, as Tyler did, to those who opposed his election, Andrew Johnson accepts the issue, but intends "to fij;ht it out,' as Gene ral Grant did, "on this line," w ith Union men and upon Union principles. in our judgment the Republicans in and out ot Consrcss who present universal Pesjro sutrracre as the paramount question in reconstructing the federal Government, make the saina uiisLiAe that our Whig leaders made in clinging to the Dank ot the United States. The people are not prenaree lor it. Nor, w hat is more to the pur pose, the neeroes are not prepared for it. But lor the negro sufl'raue question, and am bitions connected with it, there waulrt be no controversy between Congress and the Presi dent. Any aud all other dili'ereuce of opinion could and' would have been amicably arrani'cd by mutual concessions. But "unchastened am bition'' is blind. It concedes nothing. And when allied to fanaticism, it becomes madly blind. , While, therefore, the President remaius faith ful to the principles which he boldly nvo.ved at the commencement of the Rebellion, and so laithfully maintained during the war, he may safely rely upon the intelligence and patriot ism of the people for the support of his Admin istration. 'John Itabus, from Gotha." From the Times. The following touching note wm wilttea by 11 disabled soldier of the UuiQn army, a German by birth, upon cornmittiujr suicide a few days apo in Philadelphia: 'I wa a soldier in tbe 15th New York Heavv Ar. tillcry, U. 8.

National Finances The New Loon Dill. ' From the World. , In nil discussions of this important imbicot it 'is necessary to keep in view the cardinal. con siderations on which the policy of- the Govern ment ought to hinge. It is tor the interest ot a powerlul and opulent class to keep the grand leatuTO out of sight, and to confuso and bewilder the public mind with a mass of subordinate details. The central consideration is not the resump tion of specie payments important aa that is but the tact that within the next two fiscal years, the national treasury has a prodigious mass cf matured and maturing obligations, umotititing, in all, to some seventeen hundred millions oi dollars. Since this enormous mass of debt canuot be paid, it must be funded. If the w hole national debt were funded in loug bonds, great as it is, it could be easily managed, and th biisim ss of the country would pass without itn shock into a healthy state. As the un funded debt is the chiet d'tiliculty, wo will begin with an authentic statement of its amount, taken from the annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury : Bond. 6 per cent., due iul.SGH . $8,908 841-80 BouiiH, 6 per cent., duo in 1SU7 9,415,200 00 Compound iui. notes, Hue in 18ti? and 18I5S. .1V3 012,141 00 Sevcn-thirl 1 icasury notes, clue in lcC7 and 18Bf 830,000,000 00 81. 021,330,702 S-0 ltonds.

Of this amount, $KIO,000,()00 consists ot scvcu-tLirty notes, con vertible into six percent, bonds nt'the pleasure of the holders, but only at their pleasure a cir cumntanco which makes tho holders, and not the Governmentmasters of tbe tituation. If the conversion of the icven thirties was optional with the Government, iontead of optional with its creditors, the Treasury would be disembarrassed. As it ia, the holders have the Government very much iu their power. If the seven-thirties were all held by a single person, what.would be his interest ? Would he keep them for conversion, or keep them for pay ment? If lor conversion, and he did actually exchange them tor long bonds at maturity, the financial problem would 9olve itself. The aggre gate debt would remain precisely the same; and H3 the seven-thirties tell due, the Government , would be raying six per cent., instead of the pre tent hiph rate, on that portion ot it. In that case, the holder of the unfunded debt would have the tame interest with the community, in a i-peedy return to specie payments, which . would give him his interest 1n the equivalent of . gold, and not, as now, In depreciated paper. but if he thought he could make more money by pursuing the other course, the other course 'would certainly be adopted. Supposing the eight hundred and thirty millions in the hands of a single holder, and i-uppoHiiig him desirous of ultimately investing in the long bonds of the Government, he would not make a direct con version if he thought fce could get a larger amount ol bonds by compelling the Government to pay him money lor the seven-thirties, and then investiiig it in bond". If Le elected to adopt ihi course, how could the Government procure the money ! In no other way than by the sale ot bonds. But the amount bt money to be raised would create u dearth in the money market ; while the great amount 01 bonus offered lor side would 'depress the value of t ae bonds to a very low liauro. The holder of the heveii-lhirties would protic al;ke by this state of tue money market, aud by this s'.ato of the. bond market. The monev beinir all raised for him. and coining into his hands to expend, he alone profits, at tne expense of the community, by t ae dearuess of money. Intending to Invest' ths '.money in bond?, tic also protitB. at the expense of the Government, by tho depression 01 the bonds, lie feathers his ne?t on both sites. It Is lor the interest of the Government to avoid ' being thus cornered by & combination 'among !the heuvv holders ol the soven-thirties, which would give the same unity to their action a if the tint 11 tided debt were owned by a single holder. Considerable portions of it are scattered among the people; but when they found that they could niake more by demanding payment and reinvesting the proceeds, thev would not to slow to ac t in concert with the com blued speculators. 1 When the debt is once funded it will all be paid in gold, or the equivalent of gold. The total unfunded debt is nearly seventeen hun dred millions; and it the currency could be kept so inflated that the bonds for thut amount could be purchased at a discount of twenty-live per reut.j there would be a gain, by 'be pur- . chafers, of more thau four hundred millions of dollars an amount to vast as to inilame the cupidity of the , speculating class to the highest pitch. This Is the formidable difficulty asraln t which the Secretary of the Treasury is called to contend; and Congress, misled by the sophistry, or bribed by the nionoy of the speculators, hesitates to clothe him with the necessary power. As one means of toiling the speculators, the Secretary desires authority to make a safe and cautious contraction ot the currency, aud bring it to a specie basis. With the currency at par, bonds would not be purchased at a great depre ciation; the chiel temptation would bo taken away irom tho cupidity 01 tho speculators. But the main feature or the new loau bill is the trammel it puts on the Secretary of rhe Trea sury to restrain him. trom contracting tne cur leuey. It inierdir.'s him Irom vuludrawing 'more thiiu ten millions during the first siv months after the passage of the bill, Hnd four millions a mopfh thereafter, j That i, It. permits him to reduce the volume of (he cunrncy about one and a quarter por rent, for the first six months, and about one half of one per ceutr ft month Ihorealter. -At thW late, it would take ten years to retire all the greenbacks. The whole currency ot the country amounts to omothinr like $750,000,000; In sin months it would bi reduced to $740,000,000; and by the first of January, 18!i7) the year when the even-thirties will begin to tall doe m laree amounts), the currency will have been reduced to only $728.000,000 a promising exhibit for the fpccitfaior who are plotting to corner the Gov cmnient in the conversion ot thp seven-thirties, and whose euece& in a great measure depends on the continued inflation of rhe currency. The powers asked by the Secretary, as wa3 well fhown by Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, were no irrenter fhnii hp needed to tlelent. the comblnH- tlons of Fpecniators. The clause In hi hilt a'lthori.inir loans abroad, which was criticized with so much severity; and is stricken out ol the new bill, was merely a safeguard nsainst such combinations. Iti b ;s annul report, Mr. McCnlloeh expressed a decided preference tor placing all the leans lu this country. - But if a combination should lie made to depref their value at home. It would be for tne public in terest tt at be shouU have power to go into other markets. , , The question is, whether tho Secretary, with no conceivable interest, but the public welfare, and the care of his reputation, may not be moro safely trusted than a great speculating inlorest, with' an opportunity to make several hundred millions, it Ihey can thwart the policy of the Treasury. Congress inclines to sldo with the lor speculators, and against the Secretary. FINANCIAL. Jay cooke & co. No. 114 S. THIRD STREET, BANKERS, AND DEALERS IN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES U.
