Wb yesterday briefly referred to a circular
which has been Issued by a respectable New
York banking firm, which was intended for
foreign circulation, and was carried abroad
by the steamer Java. That circular says :
'The further execution of all orders far the
shipment of goods abroad is Impeded by the
difficulty in negotiating foreign exenanpe,
causoxl by tbe unlawful and unwarrantable
course pursued by the Treasury Department in
boarcing up gold to an amount for bejond the
requirements ior Government expenditures, and
with the sole result ol promoting the interests
ot the gamblers in gold, to the ereat injury
and emburrasflment of the trade aDd conimorco
of the country. It is bad enoujo lor a poor,
impoverished country, such as Great Britain
was seventy years ago, to be compelled, Iroin
dire necessity, to cuHpend payment and submit
to a depreciation of Goverumunt credit; bit
that such a country hs this, the richest, tbe most
pro'perous, and the most powerful in the world,
ehouli voluntarily incur or submit to such
degradation almost passes belief; and yet such
la the case.
"Tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury recently
atronerly urged Congress to pass an act to make
the Five-twenty Government bonds" payable in
gold. ConpTes9. however, not only did not re
spond to this call, but they adopted resolutions
directly in opposition to it, prohibiting, in
double violation of the plighted faith of tbe Gov
ernment, the calling iu oi the legal-tender notes
Ixnond a small specified nominal amount.
2 hese proceedings of Congress and the subsequent
action of Vie Treasury can, oniy be interpreted as
contemplating the payment in a greatly aepre
ciated currency of the Fine-twenty bonds of 1862
falling due nod May, which byextsling laics are
not payable in goid, nor even in leja!-tendw green-bacKS-but
only in notes of the Aationat Banks.
The Monetary has eiven temi-oilicial notice that
he will not sell gold unless the price sho'ild
evince a tendency to reach 200. This, ot co nve,
exactly suits the cold speculators who, by an
extensive combination, uie enabled to monooo
lize the greater part ot the floating aold in the
market, and compel tbe regular trade euhcr to
purchase at present hieh rates in anticipation
ot snleri, or to borrow at 2(S,3 per cent, a month
to enable them to realize their bills of exchange
against shipments of produce. If the Secretary
really intended or wis lied to curtail sp cu-(
Intion in gold, and to elevate thn Govern
ment credit at homo and abroa 1. the means arc
so obvious, and so complettty wir'iiin his reach,
that It is not easy to comprehend why he has
not availed himself of them."
Oux readers can form their own estimate
of a house which, for tho purpose of specula
tion, will send through nil the foreign markets
a statement the sole object of which is to
injure the national credit and inspire a want
of faith in Government bonds No terms of
reprobation are sufficiently severe to express
the utter contempt felt by not only every
loyal but by every honorable man lor he who
would sacrifice his country's good name in
order that a few thousand dollars might
be put into his own pocket. The facts of the
case, however, prove the falsehood of the
statements in the circular.
The real condition of the case is that, at
the time of Ihe issues of the Five-twenties in
18C2, the National Banking system had not
been put in active operation; hence the
charge that the bonds were to be converted
into National Bank notes is simply impossi
ble. When the Five-twenties were first
placed upon the market, Secretary Chase
was asked whether or not they would be
ultimately redeemed in gold. He replied by
quoting the established usage of the Govern
ment, and said that it had been the custom
ot the Department to redee m all coupon and
registered bonds forming part of the funded
or permanent debt of the United States in
coin, and this usage had not been departed
from. All Treasury notes and other obliga
tlons forming part of the temporary loan
are payable and will be redeemed in United
States notes until after the resumption o
specie payments, when they also will be re
deemed in coin or equivalent notes.' The
Five-twenty Sixes being payable twenty
years from date, though redeemable after
five years, are considered as belonging to the
funded or permanent debt; and so also are
the twenty years' sixes, into which the three
years' Seven-thirty notes are convertible.
These bonds, therefore, according to the
usage of the Governmen, are payable in coin.
' Mr. McCulloch has not only reiterated the
views of Mr. Chase, but has openly declared
that the honor of the Government demands
that the spirit as well as the letter of the law
be complied with. We can, therefore, see no
ground whatever lor any anticipation ot even
Buch an inJnation towards repudiation as
the foreign circular hints at. That the law
did not specify, in black and white, that tbe
bonds were to be paid in gold, was due to the
fact that but little anxiety was felt in their
ultimate redemption, and that it was the inte
rest which monopolized popular attention.
The long and well-known usage of the De
partment rendered it unnecessary to specify
what was never denied and what never will
be denied by the American Government On
every side we have the express declaration of
all the people in favor of the lull payment of
v the debt, and all Insinuations to the contrary
are only the result of a preedy avaiice that
would sacrifice the national credit in order to
accumulate Individual wealth.
In regard to the charge oi the Government
boarding gold, and thus keeping the premium
up, we bava only to call attention to the ex
perience of last spring, when, in order to lower'
the rate, the Treasury vaults poured forth
their millions, and no permanent effect was
produced. All the Administration can do is
negative In its character. If Wall street en-
flvwon to.riugold up, thca its (forts can t&
counteracted by the Government; but to
bring gold down is beyond the power of any
Secretary ot the Treasury. The 'spirit of
unscrupulous speculation which has caused
the issue of such a circular as the one before
us is powerful enough to balance any good
that might be secured by tbe sale of Govern
ment sold. ! '
The people have confidence In Mr. McCul-'
loch. We have been peculiarly favored In
our selections of gentlemen to fill the difficult
post of Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Chase
was as able a financier as the country could
desire ; Mr. Fessenden has few superiors in
all matters affecting the monetary interests ol
tbe land; while Mr. McCulloch, by his con
stant course of wisdom and prudence, has
merited the confidence of all parties. All
stories in regard to repudiation, when such
men hold the portfolio and such people as the
American people acknowledge the debt,' must
be put down as desperate attempts t i coin
money out of the nation's difficulties ; and the
authors can only be viewed as belonging to
that class most detested In all ages, usurers,
who coin money out of their country's need
by undermining her credit.
The Need of Eipeiienced and Capable
Men in Office. ;
We are glad to observe that both political
parties are putting before the people, as can
didates tor office, their strongest and J most
experienced men . There never was a time
when experience and capacity were more
necessary to the public interests than! now.
'ihe operations of the general Government
especially have become so large, the amounts
necessary to be raised for public putposes so
vast, and the special issues growing out of the
war so momentous, that none but statesmen
of tried capacity and , long familiarity with
public life should be sent to the halls of Con
gress. No matter what party may be In the
ascendancy, give us men ot brains to conduct
the Government.
The South used to be wiser in its day and
generation than the North. When it got
hold of a strong man it kept him in Congress
term after term, until he became an adept in
all the practical details of legislation, and
acquired a power and influence in that body
which no new member could possioly possess.
The North, meanwhile, in obedience to tbe
selfish cry of "rota Jon in office" a perpetual
plea fo. mediocrity and incapacity was forever
changing its member:, and sending new and
inexperienced men, who figured at the tail of
the committees, and nowhere else, and whose
practical Influence in shaping the legislation
of tiio country was next to nothing. As a
natural and necessary result, the South,
through its able and experienced statesmen,
came to control the whole machinery of the
Government. Of late years, however, a wiser
spirit has prevailed at the North, and we can
now point to a large number of representa
tives, of both political parties, who have be
come skilful and influential legislators. i
At this juncture, as we have before re
marked, this class of men is indispensable.
It Is no time for mediocrity now. Tub note.
to be done is too important to be entrusted to
rawness and Inexperience to try Its "prentice
hand" upon. A blunder in finance may cost
us hundreds of millions of dollars, and bring
ruin upon thousands. Incapacity in , other
directions may entail upon us disasters which
shall be ielt by our children's children.
Give us, then, on all sides, our strongest
and best men.. Let us lay under contribution
the experience, the talent, and the genius of
the country. ' '

The riogiess ot the Reform Movement in
, I i England.
The Keform movement In England increases
daily in Importance. The telegraph announces
that John Bright delivered an address In
Birmingham on Monday evening, before the
largest audience assembled there for years,
and excolling in eloquence all his former
efloits. The excitement and enthusiasm are
said to exceed anything witnessed since 1822.
It is not long since we saw it stated in an
English letter that the great obstacla to the
Reform movement was the comparative Indif
ference of the people in regard to It; and un
favorablo contrasts were drawn between their
present temper and that displayed on the
occasion of former Reform agitations. That
obstacle, thanks to the fatuity of the Tories
themselves, seems to b removed, and the
great deep of English feeling bids fair soon to
bo broken up. And in this is the only (hope
for tbe success of the liberals. The ruling
classes in England never release a particle of
power to the people except In response to a
voice which becomes menacing. The peoplo
may plead and plead forever in vain ; it is
only when they begin to threaten that the
dull, cold ear of power deigns to listen. Rathr
than risk a revolution, the ruling classes
finally yield something to tbe popular de
mand. Such is the history of reform in
England, and such will it continue to be,
until, by the extension of suffrage, the masses
oi tbe people shall be enabled to exercise a
direct and controlling Influence upon the Gov
ernment.
It is btated "on the best authority"
that the name of General Danlol E. Sickles
was signed to the call for the Cleveland meet
ing without his consent, and that he declines

Leaven worth, Kansas, August 23. A fight
has taken place near Fort Reno, where the In

They were followed by mounted men. The In
dians turncu upon the pursuing party, killing
seven and wounding two, and escaped with all
the bt ck.
A party of oflicern and recruit going to the
18th United Stutes Infantry were attacked at
Powder river, aud two men were killed in the
attack. The Indians did not succeed in stam
peding the stock. They have attacked several
trains since that time, and Killed four men and
wounded many more. The red-skins are all
around tort Reno, bring on the pickets the
whole night. The ludiau hold the 'whole
country, except the military camps. The Sioux
stole a herd of horses within one mile of the
fort, and a lot of Government mules. Troops
were sent in pursuit, but could not overtake
them. On the 6th of Augnst, they stole another
herd of brses four miles east of Reno.
There is evidently a general outbreak nmong
