The lion. Iwls y. Rosa is Copperhead of
it IUinoU broed--not a good variety of the
)nllkely pecle.' In the casual debate of
laturdavj he managed to deliver bimsolf to
Jhe following effect: ' ; ui"
1. Be desirea to Bee our paper currencj BtlU
fafthpr "watered;" . . -
2. Be wants the national bank notes called
In, and more "legal-tender" issued, in their

the Government aubjeoted to taxation, In de
fiance of the Government's pledge that they
hall not be; ' ' ,
4. lie wants to Issue "gradually" green
backs enough to ray off the national debt;
C. He holds that the bonds may thus be
"paid off," one-gixth to one-eighth per annum,
and thinks the Legal-tender act has thus
'opened a way to the people to get rid of the
enormous debt."
We ask Messrs. Butler and Stevens to look
at their own faces in the glass that Mr. Boss
holds np before them. If the "counterfeit
presentment" does not flatter, we can't fiay
that the fault is in the glass.
Mr. Robs detests the bondholders, beoause
they furnished the needful means whereby the
Rebellion was put down. He will cheat them
if his can, because they thwarted his fond de
sires that the Union should be reconstructed
on the Montgomery platform. ' By the help of
the doctrine of total depravity, we can readily
account lot Mr. Robs' demonstration. But
even kuch strong meat does not enable us to
explain the "aid and comfort" he is receiving
from Messrs.' Butler and Stevens.
Mr. Ross is not satisfied with being a scoun
drel himself; he insists that the people are all
Boonndrels, especially at the West. He talks
to Mr. K. Waelibmrne after this insolent
fashion: ' -
'He would tell his" colleague that, If he
planted himself on tbe bondholders' platform,
bs would soon find himself aolitary and alone
on that platform In Vie Slate of Illinois. His
colleague was willing to. turn oft the decrepit
soldier, and tbe widows and orphans of sol
diers, with payment In paper currency, and to
reserve the gold to pay oil the rich bond
holders." 1
-Messrs.Republicans who vote to "water
the currency" or against getting the water
out of it do you mean to let Ross and his
fellow repndiators put that issue upon you t
We 'protest against It , and you oueht to
knew better than to allow it. Rely on it no
Course is wise or safe that does not lead right
on to resumption, and thus to one ourrenoy
for bondholders, pensioners, and everybody
else.-
ChK In the Treasury Department and
From the N. Y. Herald.
The emphatic condemnation of Mr. McCal-
looh's llnanoial policy by the House of Repre
Sentatlves calls for the Immediate resignation
of the Secretary. The overwhelming vote of
one hundred and twenty-seven against his
favorite polioy of contracting the enrrenoy,
Vita only thirty-two votes In favor of it that
Is, three-fourths of the House opposed to him
on this very important question shows the
imperative necessity of a change. Indeed, we
cannot believe Mr. ;McCnlloch has so little
Belf-respect and sense as to wish to remain at
the head of the Treasury Department after
such a decided condemnation or his policy. If
the question before the House had been one
of an unimportant or less important character,
he might cling to his office with some excuse
or show of reason; but this of contraction and
forcing specie payments before the country is
prepared for it is a broad and vital one. It
has ibeen the foundation of his llnanoial
theory and superstructure, and all the opera
tions of the Treasury have been built upon it.
The greater part of his wordy, diffuse, and
Weak report to Congress is an attempted de
fense of his views and conduct with regard to
reputation and position on that. How can he
remain in office, then, after being thus con
demned by the representatives of the people f
Congress, last year, when less enlightened
than it is now, and when it had more confi
dence in the untried ability of Mr. McCullooh,
left the matter of contraction within certain
limits to his discretion. What has been the
result X It was never intended that he Bhould
use the power granted to injure the country ;
yet he continued to withdraw the legal-tender
ourrenoy while every step he was taking para
lyzed trade and suspended industry. The
press and people cried out against this, for
ruin was staring them in the face; still he was
blind and obstinate. It was only when the
flaut was felt in the Treasury, and a deficient
revenue threatened that he waa forced to aban
don hia ruinous course, and then merely for a
Bhort time. He learns nothing either from
experience or the history of other countries.
When the House of Representatives passed
the resolution to suspeud hia operations he
Was in full awing of contraction again, not
Withstanding failures, suspensions, and finan
cial trouble in business were springing up all
around him. The oountry and the representa
tives of the people have lost oonfldenoe in
him. Even his former staunch supporters
are abandoning him; for we see one of the
writers of the fisaer radical organ of this city,
the New York Trimmer, sneeringly calls him
the "Indiana banker."
But it is not only on account of his ruinous
ontraotion policy that Mr. McCullooh should
resign or be removed. The Treasury Depart
ment has been fearfully mismanaged in other
reBpeeta while under his ' oontrol. Over a
hundred million dollars have . been lost
through internal revenue frauds, and that in
one or two articles only. In all probability

Tfca onontrv rweifi now a practical business
man of broad views for Secretary of the Trea-
nry a man who is laminar wuu iargn unan-

cial operations and commerce wno Knows
how to raise a revenue at the same time ne
la fostering trade and industry. He should be
taken from the great commercial metropolis:
First, because he wonld be more likely to
understand the duties of the office than a ooun
try banker, farmer, or politician; and next,
because this is the centre of trade, commeroe,
and finance. There are men In New York fully
capable of managing well the national finances.
Among them we may mention the Colleotor of
the Port, Mr. Smythe. We know how admi
rably he has managed the affairs of the Custom
House, which is a post scarcely leas arduous
and requiring almost as much ability as that
of the Treasury Department. Then, he has
the confidence and respect of the whole com
mercial community, irrespective of political
parties. He has had a lifelong experience in
I . n i i . i t T
large commercial ana unanotat matters,, uib
experience in the Custom House, too, would
enable him to prevent the frauds on the reve
nue which have lately startled the oountry by
their magnitude.
But in order to take Mr. Smythe or any
other capable man from New York for the
position, it might be necessary that Mr. Seward
should retire. It has not been the habit,
and might raise objections, to take two mem
bers of the Cabinet from the same State,
though there would be no real ground for ob
jection if both should happen to be men best
qualified for the positions. Mr. Johnson may
not like to demand the resignation of Mr.
Seward, from motives of delicacy, the Secre
tary ha vine been in his offioe a victim of and
creat sufferer from the assassination con
spiracy; but Mr. Seward should relieve him
of the embarrassment by tendering his resig
nation. The welfare of the country should be
above every other consideration, both with
Mr. Seward and the President. At all events,
we must have a change in the Treasury De
partment, and the successor of Mr. McCullooh

How to Bav lbs Money.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
If good resolutions were omnipotent, every
drunkard would reform soon after Chriatmaa
and our finances, Federal, State, and local,
would henceforth be patterns of integrity and
frugality. And, though good resolutions go
but a little way, that is, at all events, the
right way. So let us rejoioo that Congress is
resolved on retrenchment, and help its good'
will by assisting to point out the ways and
means.
First among our sources of expenditure
stands the army. It is costing to-day more
than half ol our annual outlay, except in satis
faction of the national debt. And it is a very
Eoor tool for the work to be done by it. Send
lg regiments of infantry and artillery out
npon the Plains to fight Indiana is like Betting
a tortoise to catch a hawk. The Indians will
take good care to keep out of the way, exoept
when they can surprise an outpost, or fight
with a preponderance in numbers of twenty to
one. Regular cavalry are a little better just
a little. They will lose ten horses for every
Indian they get fairly in sight of.
If Indians are to be fought, a thoroughly
competent, experienced cavalry general, with
his staff,'tBhould be stationed in each Territory,
with a good supply of arms and ammunition,
he having authority to call out a foroe of
mounted volunteers whenever he shall see fit.
Let him accumulate supplies where he will
need them; and, at the proper time, let him
call for one hundred, three hundred, five hun
dred, or more volunteers, each to appear at
the designated rendezvous on a given day,
with his horse, equipments, and blankets he
to be armed, provisioned, and paid $2'per day
for himself and horse until mustered out.
There would always be good men, well
mounted, to answer such a call on ten days'
notice, though the rendezvous were in - the
most desolate wilds of Utah or Idaho. Such
a foroe would do its work quickly and well,
and wonld not oost so anuch as the rations of
the regulars, who do not and cannot do it
at all.
Our iron-clads ought mainly to be Bold, if
only for old iron. They will rust out before
we are likely to need them again; and two
thirda of them are already out of date. Mil
lions worth of naval property should be got
rid of within the next year. It is costing a
great deal too much for officers and guards to
look on and sea it rust and rot
Congress should abolish the franking privi
legenot modify it. Let all our people pay
their nostaee. as Queen Viotoria does. The
late Mavoraltv contest in our city was con
ducted in good part by personal appeals and
circulars, all franked, wood rranKea ms own;
and Chanler. or some other Tammany M. C.
franked Hoffmen's. So It goes from year to
year the mails and post offices gorged and
glutted with stuff that pays no postage.
Franked lottery circulars and puffs of quack
medicines infest the whole country by the
million. And it is idle to talk of correcting
the abnses of franking, when the taxing of
one man to pay for carrying another man a
letters is the great, orying'abuse. If A., B.,
and C. are authorized to send their letters and
documents through the mails, and have them
distributed by carriers at public cost, D., .,
and F. will borrow and use their franks to push
their wares into notice. - No reform can be
worth a rush that leaves the franking privi
lege in existence.
, The mileage swindle needs the like whole
some discipline. Once, it was excused on the
plea of inadequate pay; but Congress ia now
the best paid legislative body on earth, unlesa
Louis Napoleon's gagged Senate forms an ex
ception. Take the Oregon membera. for ex
ample. They must usually leave home about
the middle of October, say of 1W7, and cannot
see it again until the middle of April, 18(39
say eighteen months' services, including a
long vaoation. The pay for this service is
10,0(K) quite enough. Now, we do not object
to paying their travelling expenses say f 1000
in addition. But they were allowed to charge
exorbitantly for the journey they do make, aud
then double the dose for an Imaginary or con
structive journey home and back again that
they do not make, between the regular ses
sions. And, though an unrepealed law pre
scribes that there shall be no more paid them
for going home and returning between the two
sessions than though they stayed and worked
straight through from one to the other, it has
nevtr been obeyed nor regarded. And the
provision of the act of 185t that members
absent from their seats shall forfeit their pay,
is systematically evaded. Sinoe Congress is
bent on retrenchment, why not correct this t
As the sittings of a Congress do not average
400 days, and the pay is 10,000 per Congress,
every day's absenoe should Insure a deduction
of at least 25. And there Bhould be no ex
cuse heard, exoept that of employment else
where as member of an investigating com
mittee. We believe there are thousands of oustom
house places that should be cut nffti in
cumbents either doing nothing for their sala-
,rlea, or nothing that is of anyuse. This might

not secure thetr divorce from tbe Treasury;
but the fact that nearly all of tbm pay assess
ments to elect the Copperhead '.t icket in their
respective localities will help. If no change
made;-at least flW, 000 will be raised out of
custom house officers next fall to beat those
Republicans in Congress who shall be candi
dates for re-election. t , - y ' - .
Why not cut down our foreign embassies,
missions, and consuls f They cost a mint of
money, one-third of which might be saved.
Cut the $17,BUO follows down to fJ,0U0, the
$12,000 chaps to $10,000; theflO.OOOa to $7500,
and the $70OOs to $5000, and perhaps some of
the patriots may throw up their oliioes in dis
gust. If half of them did, and no others could
be fotind to fill their places, so muoh the better.
That Congress is in a retrenching mood
gives reason for hope that the grand army of
stipendiaries that infests tbe Capitol will be
considerably reduced, and that the "twenty
per cent, extra ' to the Department cierKs win
not again be voted. In abort, the public
augurs great and lasting good from the spirit
in which Congress has begun, and we trust
that this fond hope will not be disappointed.
Repudlatlon by Congress of Mr. McC al-
locu'S f inancial I'oncy.
From the JY. Y. World.
In commenting on Seoretary MoCulloch's
report, we likened him to a navigator who
should set his sails with a view to have the
wind blow north, when in fact it was blowing
south. The overwhelming vote of the House
by which his policy is repudiated proves that
the comparison was not inapposite. The
promptitude with which Mr. MoCulloch's
policy is flung back into his face, as srell as
the mortifying decisiveness of the vote, shows
how little skill he has in marking times and
seasons. We suppose tbe Senate will endorse
the rebuke of the 'louse, when Mr. MoCul
loch's humiliation will be complete.
It being evident now, as it onght to have
been to Mr. McCnlloch when he prepared his
report, that no steps will be taken towards re
sumption till after the Presidential eleotion,
the thing to be devised is a policy which will
carry the country most safely and smoothly
through the era of irredeemable paper. Mr.
JVIcCullooh has contributed nothing to the
solution of this problem; and, therefore, his
report, though containing much excellent
matter, is of no practical value. It contained,
as we showed on its appearance, some funda
mental errors. Mr. MoCulloch makes him
self the champion of the national banks,
though it ia easily demonstrated that the en
tanglement of the Government with those
institutions is one of the chief obstacles to the
resumption which he so strenuously advo
cates. As things stand, the Government can
not resume until the banks do; while if the
Government were divorced from the banks, it
might safely preoede them aud put its own
financial operations on a sound basis without
CDIHUlUUmtlUIJg ail DUUvn tU bUB DUBlllBBB Ul
the country.
Another fatal obstacle to an eariy return to
specie payments is the disorganization aud
continued prostration of the South. The full
revival of the great bouthem exports as a sub
stitute lor the bonds we send abroad to meet
our importations, ia an essential element of
resumption. The delay in rebuilding the
shattered institutions and industry of the
South operates as a postponement of specie
payments by shutting up a large field for the
absorption of money, as well as by depriving
us of any solid means of keeping the foreign
exchanges in our favor, and preventing sud
den drains of specie out of the country after
we resume.
Mr. MoCulloch is probably right in arguing
that we can never resume without a contrac
tion of the currenoy; but contraction neces
sarily brings more or less stringency and dis
tress, and it is absurd to suppose that the
party in power will give its consent to put on
the screws the year of a Preiidentlal eleotion.
The financial policy of the (Government
has been a blunder and a muddle through
out, and has wrought more evil than can
be suddenly remedied. The chief blunder
is of course that of making the South
a theatre of wasteful expense instead of
a source of revenue. There have been
other great blunders, though . none quite
so ruinous. We have been making large
payments of the national debt at a time
when such payments are as ill-judged as
harnessing a sick horse to , the plough. The
great source of revenue and strength is
the prosperity of our various ' industries;
and the first business of Congress on the
olose of the war should have been to
facilitate recuperation by the prompt removal
of every unnecessary burden. Instead of
this, Congress has kept up expensive armies
to supplant republican government in a large
part of the country, has raised in taxes
one or two millions a year in excess of its
extravagant expenditures, and has increased
tbe exorbitant prices of commodities by a
high tariff. What has been collected in taxes
beyond necessity is more than double the
expense of the Government previous to the
war. Such a policy violates the plainest
principles of good seuse. It is - as if a
farmer whose working animals had -been
carried off by a cattle plague, should
think it more important to cancel mort
gages on his farm than to restock it and
make it productive.
The currency, when cut lose from its moor
ings in the precious metals, is the most diffi
cult and delicate subject to handle in the
whole province of legislation. The funda
mental requisite in a measure of values is
stability; but stability is inconsistent with the
very nature of an irredeemable ourrenoy, par
ticularly when it ia yery much inflated. And
yet, without some approach to stability men
know not how to lay their plana. This ina
bility to calculate the future makes a fluctu
ating circulating medium far more expensive
to the community than gold or silver, since
the equalization of losses by Insurance is im
possible, and every man being obliged to take
the risk of changes in the value of money, he
charges a higher prioe for his goods.
But the most dangerons policy of all con
sists in sudden leaps towards specie payments,
since it tends to a general stoppage of busiuesa
and stagnation of industry. The great cardi
nal fact must never be lost sight of that a na
tion prospers only by keeping all its hands
busy in productive employments, and that it
is a 'ar less evil for business to prooeed on the
worst possible basis than to stop. So long aa
the wheels are kept in motion there ia a pro
duction of wealth; when they stop there ia
nothing to be divided, because there ia nothing
produced. It ia better for employed workmen
to be robbed of a large part of their wages by
paper money than for unemployed workmen
to pet no wages at all. To struggle hard,
and live on little, does not degrade the charac
ter like dependent idleness subsisting upon
charity. . , . i -
It being certain that we are to have an irre
deemable circulation for quite a period to
come, it is the duty of Congress to give it as
near an approach to stability as clroumstanoes
will permit, in order that business may be en
couraged to go on by a possibility of calcu
lating the future. All sudden changes, all
uiiui Jems ana starts, are misonievoua, even
though they be la the rlg&t direction. t A
htfol jerks and starts, are mlsohlevous, even
frozen linb is not brought suddenly to the fire,
but Immersed in snow or very cold water, and
restored by slow dtgreel to its natural tern-i
perature. Disorders in the--currency must be
cured by methods equally gradual. If con
traction l e too budden or too rapid, business
is brought to a stand, and the country loses
more by Idleness than It could by payments In
a depredated currency.
As We are to have an irredeemable ourrenov
of about the same volume as the present for
several years, the country ought to reap the
incidental advantages Of it, such as they are.
One of them is the opportunity to fill the
ohannela of circulation with Government notes;
a roan without interest of which the people
ought to have the benefit. There is not a
sound bank that would stop by the withdrawal
Of its notes. The bauks would retain their
other privileges, and continue to transact their
ordinary business. They would loan money,
receive deposits, deal in exchanges, and pay
nearly the same taxes on their property and
business as at present. They would oontinue
to own their bonds the same as now; continue
to receive six per cent, interest on them in
gold (equal to eight per cent, on their current
value); and oontinue to render to the commu
nity all the real services they render at pre
eont. The people wonld save the Interest on
three hundred millions of debt, and (what is
more valuable) the Government would be
divorced from the banks, and free to return to
specie without carrying them on its shoulders.
Specie payments would be reached by this
route sooner than by any other. The new
greenbacks would pay off every other form of
floating debt, and the finanolal operations of
the Government would be aimplifled into
merely collecting its annual revenues and pay
Incr its annnal exnenaes. - The nresent snrolus
of coin would go on accumulating, and when
ever the Government resumed speoie payments,
the process would consist merely In taking the
same number of gold dollars out of the Sub
Treasury into circulation as there were paper
dollars withdrawn.
Southern Conservatism.
From the N. Y. Time:
The opening proceedings of the Georgia
Conservative Convention, as reported in the
Macon journals, show how obstinately the
Southern opponents of reconstruction resist
the loglo of events, and how unwisely they
seek to better their position. The remarks
of Mr. B. H. Hill, the President, are a. key
note to the spirit in which a body, locally in
fluential, enters npon the task of resistance
to the Congressional plan. Nothing is con
ceded as a consequence of the war; nothing
said that looks like acceptance of the altered
circumstances of the time. All is bravado
and defiance. The same temper obtains yet
more emphatio expression in the speech of
General Wright, who counselled organization
to defeat the proposed Constitution at the
polls. "They did not make the light to pre
serve the purity of the ballot," he is reported
to have said, "but for the great prinoiple
which underlies the foundation of this Govern
ment that this is a white man's Government.
Kouse I" he exclaimed, "rally and light on
this issue."
Higher than this the conservatism of Georgia
appears unable to rise. Frotestlsg that it has
been fully misrepresented and cruelly misun-
"derstood, it nevertheless makes no conceal
ment of its desire to reestablish a white
supremacy as absolute, politically, as that
which existed seven years ago. Professedly
outraged by the legislation which confers
power on the freedmen, it evinoes no disposi
tion to comply in any respect with the re
quirements of the policy whloh affirms the
civil and political equality of the races. No
modification of conditions is asked only an
entire reversal of the polioy to which Congress
la pledged. JNo idea of compromise is pro
pounded only a demand that the opponents
of Congress should dictate its course. That
the Conservatives of Georgia are able, as
General Wright declares, to vote down the
Convention and frustrate all that has been
done under the law, is proof of anything
rather than negro supremacy. And as the
same faot has been asserted in Virginia and
other of the Southern States, we must con
clude that white supremacy remains, not
withstanding the enfranchising feature of the
Reconstruction acts. ,
It is this imperious determination not to
comply with the requirements of the North
which deprives Southern conservatism of sym
pathy, and justifies legislation that would else
be inexcusable. The .Maoon Convention,
although the latest, is but one of many illus
trations of the impracticable temper and aims
of those at the South who oppose the law.
They refused - to ratify the Constitutional
Amendment, mild and withal generous as it
was; they refuse now to avail themselves of the
opportunity of reorganizing looal governments
because the enfranchised freedmen share with
them the privilege, and they proclaim a pur
pose to struggle to the last for the dootrlne
"that this is a white man's government."
What can be done in Congress with or for a
class who thus assert the authority of con
querors, and systematically obstruct the ma
chinery by which the South may be brought
back into the Union ? What hope is there for
the moderate influences that would remove
the penalties of the law what chauoe for the
good feeling that would so revise the new
Constitutions as to eliminate traoes of hard
shipif they whom this intervention is in
tended to benefit arrogantly reject all terms
not in harmony with their dictation ?
When a convention asserts as its funda
mental maxim "that this Is a Government of
color and race," it doea much towards forfeit
ing its right to be heard in political discuesions
which have been remoulded by the events of
the war. It Is idle to dispute the legal equality
which forces more potent than speeches or
resolutions have established. And it is not
less idle to look for help as against black
rule, when the avowed object of those who
denounce it is to establish supremacy based on
color.
