In Iho Secate of the United States on Mon 'AtI&rL Mr. Chandler called up Lis resolution JcrecognUe the belligerent rights of Abvasl- J Jla, Lis ohjeot being to reciprocal .u. var ies of England towards ns In 18G1 in pro UaimifJg ber ueutralitj on the basis of the tjqtial belligerent rights of the "so-called Con federate States." But for this position assumed hj England in support of the Rebellion, Mr. Chandler contended that it would have been put down in six months, and two hundred thousand lives and two thousand millions of dollars would hare been saved. A large num ber of American ships were also lost by that recognition. Hence he was in favor of deci sive measures in exacting from the British Government a large indemnity, lie consi dered, in faot, that we held a lien on every foot of BritiBh soil on this continent, and he would never again refer to the Alabama claims until this mortgage was foreclosed. Mr. Anthony admitted the justice of these complaiuts against England, but pleaded the Solicy of peaceable measures for satisfaction, r. Iteverdy Johnson thought no greater evil could happen this country than a war with Great Britain. Mr. Sumner, Chairman on .Foreign Relations, and in immediate rapport with the State Department, referring to the President's Message touching these Anglo Rebel spoliations on our merchant ships, said that Mr. Chandler's resolution was premature, that certain documents were expected, ani that it would be better to wait until the com mittee offioially charged-with all these matters had considered them, as they covered one of the most important questions ever presented them, touching not only our interest directly involved, but certain great principles of the bw of nations, and so on. Mr. Nye thought that Borne specific instructions to the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs would not be out of place; and as for himself, when Great Britain aid those damages and apologized for hei lbuIU to the American flag, he would be ready for the peace policy advocated by the Senator from Rhode Island. We reproduce these salient points of the debate in question in order to show, as far as we oan, what they signify. Mr. Chandler has been consistent in his position on the general question since Lord Russell's offensive and outrageous neutrality proclamation of 1861; tut in this matter, as in many others, it has generally been supposed that Mr. Chandler has permitted his radical zeal to outrun his dis cretion. We think, however, that he has not been too fast in bringing up this subject at the present time, although we rather suspect that belligerent rights to Abyssinia, if granted, would never be heard of by his royal African Highness, descended from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba; we also suspect that Mr. Sumner is in perfect accord with the Secre tary of State in temporizing, evading, and put ting off this question of British indemnity, from the fear of giving mortal offense to Eog land by pushing the controversy to General Jackson's ultimatum of indemnity or repri sals. President Johnson, under Mr. Seward's in fluence, hesitates to take the decisive step. The chairman of the Senate Committee and the chairman (General Banks) of the House Com mittee on Foreign Affairs are awaiting those expected documents from the State Depart ment. But the President's Message plainly intimates that England has taken her position, and that we have nothing to expect from her as the controversy now stands. In this dilemma the proposition of Mr. Nye, to instruct the Senate Committee by resolution to report some definite line of action, appears to be the only remedy. We would accordingly suggest the mm oi bucu a resolution in me senate, re quiring Mr. Sumner's committee to report a joint resolution advising the President to try the ultimatum on those Alabama claims of General Andrew Jackson; for we have no doubt that such a resolution can be passed through both Houses. If so passed the course of the President will be plain, and he will cheerfully pursue it. The question of war involved in this ulti matum belongs to' Congress; but let it be adopted, and there will be no war. No danger of it. England will come down with her in demnity, and the prestige of the United States will thus become that of the first nation on the face of the globe. As to the pulse of the Ameiican people, it will respond to this ulti matum from ocean to ocean. Let the resolu tion suggested be tried, and our way out of this difficulty will soon appear. Southern Schemes of Expatriation. from the If . Y. Timet. A volume might be written upon the for tunes of the Southern emigrants who went into voluntary exile at the close of the war if not a poem like "Evangeline," at least a history as disheartening as that of the banished Aca dians on which "Evaugeline" was founded. It Would be a history, of speedy, disastrous, un- qualuied failure. Their project was a bad one even in theory unwise, unpatriotic, and the fruit ot hasty impulse rather than of reason. Chagrined at the upshot of the war, instead of abiding by that deoision of the sword whereto they them selves had annealed a.4 arbiter, in of the South companies were started for de serting the country, and colonizing other re gionsMexico. Central' America, the West Indies, South America. In the mortification nuu rage ot the hour, anything seemed better than to live in a country tbey had failed to conquer, and to obey a Government they had sougui 10 cadown. By going southward, also, many hoped still to enjoy the blessings Of the "peculiar institution" whioh th wSr Lad destroyed. fathKL C r "" the Payabilities of The result in nearlv fZZJtl tel.

On the oilier baud as a matter of practical coudaot, it was better vj uear me uu luey lma tu.au lly to others that they knew not of. - - . , Of these ill-starred adventures, the latest failure recorded is that of the colony in Hon duras.

The Governor was as good as his word, Lut the Home UovtiumeLt at Loudon, disap proved," and the Kouthenra are all in trouble apain. "Many of them," gays the lurount, "are about U return to the United THE DAILY r'iKG TELEGRArn rniLADELPniAt THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 18(57. States." It In the same old utory, toll of Dew place. Wherever a settlement has been effected, the renult has been disappointing. Only moderate fortune has attended the de tachment that strayed down almost to Pata gonia, and that has been the most promising ol all. Cordova was not only a prompt failure, but the whole enterprise has long since been abandoned, the stock and property sold out, and the last of the adventurers returned. Tlio same is true, in brief, f all the Mexican pro ject?; the same is rapidly becoming true of all Brazilian experiments. For example, the chief colony, on the Riberia, near Iguape a settlement founded by one Dunn, a furiously secessionist clergyman, who declares he want) mainly to "keep away from Northerners" is anything but prosperous. II -re and there an enterprising man has met with Buccess; but this was true also before the war. What we mean to say is that the Southern colonies, as colonies, are dead failures. A recent traveller very well says that most of the emigrants cannot work to advantage, and are "too proud to beg for anything but a passage home." The other day we had news from one of the West Indies that a Southern colony was to be organized to proceed thither; and subjoined was an account of a couple of hurricanes which had swept through the length and breadth of tbe island, sucoeeded by a braoe of earth quakes, which laid waste what the tornadoes bad failed to desolate. Never in history, per haps, did bo many simultaneous attempts at colonization, proceeding from one source to so many quarters, meet failure so uniform. Some of the Huguenot exiles from-Franoe perished in distress, but others founded flourishing colonies in England, Switzerland, and Amerioa. Some of the American colonies from England were hapless, but great sucoess followed others. A fatalistic failure, one would almost say, at tends, on the other hand, the Southern schemes of emigration. In some places, as in Mexico, the protecting Government goes down, and the colony dies out with the coming in of the new and hostile rule. In others, as in Honduras, there is a "Home Government" in Europe failing to make good the local promises. In others, as in Brazil, there is the suspicion and hosiility of the native people, lack of energy and enterprise, want of mechanical improvements for working plantations, diffi culty in proouring labor. In South America, in general, war and taxes, even worse than in the Confederacy, oppress the adventurers. And if nought else can wreck the experiment, nature comes in with her devouring earth quakes and whirlwinds. We are glad that so few comparatively of the Southern people essayed expatriation. Those few rushing off in haste repent at leisure, and return without reluctance, con tent to remain. Their experience is useful to their neighbors. There will be no depopula tion of the South. Let us take a sort of re presentative example of the issue of these efforts. Ex-Governor Harris, of Tennessee, in whose arms Sydney Johnson died on the field of Shiloh, and whose intensity of hate to the Union led him at the close of the war to Cor dova, where he was made President of the Confederate Colony, now returns at last to pay his respects to the man whom he and his associates probably regarded as the personifi cation of all that was most detestable Parson Brownlow. "Governor Harris said," the account informs us, "that he had come to give himself np, and expressed much gratitude for the kind mention which the Governor had made of his family in his message." His suc cessor has paroled him till next spring. These schemes, we say, as organized oolonies do net succeed; and it is fortunate that they fail. Our country is the proper home for our people, Northerners and Southerners alike. She needs the labor of all her children, of all lati tudes, in order to fulfil her destiny, and they, too, it seems, can ill do without her. Financial Question In Congress. From the If. Y. Tribune. Among the financial propositions introduced into Congress are some so absurd as to pro voke a smile. Witness Mr. Bromwell's pro posal to authorize the Secretary of the Trea sury to add to the "Forced Loan," or legal tender notes, four millions a month, and to issue them at that rate in redeeming the long bonds into which a considerable portion of the debt is now funded. Such a proposition defies argument. That a Government can, during peace, levy forced loans and issue irredeem able paper as a means of restoring its credit, is lunacy. That it should reverse tbe funding system by changing its long bonds into notes payable on demand, is insanity. But that it should combine the two policies, levy a "forced loan" in order to take up and pay off a voluntary one, and issue depreciated, unse cured, and irredeemable paper a3 a means of taking up its funded indebtedness, is a climax of financial dementia which deserves medical treatment. We commend its author to a course of ipecac, aloes, Turkish baths, and a straight jacket. Mr. Lynoh, of Maine, pro poses to resume specie payments by re deeming all United States notes in new legal-tender notes payable in one year in coin; by allowing the Secretary, after specie payments have been resumed, to issue notes payable in coin (Pray, in what but coin will any notes be payable after specie payments shall be resumed?); and by allowing the Secretary "to purchase coin to redeem bonds, not exceeding 50,01)0,000" (?). JWith what but bond3 is he to purchese the coin ? and if he purchases with bonds coin with which to redeem bonds, what is he doing but giving bonds for bonds ? Why need the coin inter vene in the transaction ? The first clause of the proportion amounts to a promise to re sume Bpecie payments one year from date. But in what way will the Government be in better position to resume in one year than it is now ? Will it have more gold? or fewer demands upon its cold ? Will the premium on gold be leas? and if not, how will it be easier to pav these notes one year from date, in gold, thau it now is to vay those of which they are now to take the place. Mr. Lynch has also proposed a new three huudred mil lion loan, payable, the principal in lawful money, and the interest at five per cent, in coin. We have sixteen diil'erent forms of loan already. Why add a seventeenth, when consolidation and simplification, not scattera tion and complication, are sought after by our creditors, and are essential to the reduc tion of our rates of interest t Mr. Hubbard, of West Virginia, has intro duced a resolution, the aim of which is sound and practical, instructing the Committee on Banking and Currency to inquire into the ex pediency of amending the National Currency law bo as to restrict the issuing of bauk notes to two-thirds of the capital of the bank, and exteud its advantages to all persons who will comply with its provisions. With the pre sent premium on gold, this would be equiva lent to requiring the gold value of the bonds aepobita as security for the circulation to l,y,"n Pr cent, the amount of bonds Ifnoi tini 1 tl,ou8h at present the banks ?!.. H?n',Tln,,i t0 Put P more security lem to .!....;. .1.... . more would be found J' T"',""' we EiJti:i uuu Jtriuiueu 10 specie payments. The immediate effect would be the tamo, and the ultimate effect better, if it Were required that the gold value of tin bonds deposited by the banks should always exceed by ten or twenty per cent, the amount of their olronlation. This would pliice the national banking system on a baai which would be the equivalent of specie. It would thereafter be their interest to bol l a considerable reserve iu specie and to further specie payments. Then if by proper 1irIh1i tion the present gold reserve of $100,000,000 now held by the Treasury could be thrown npon the market, under such regulations that it would force down the premium on gold, aud would be bought up by the iiatioual banks .and held instead of the legal-tenders as a re serve, and as a aeourity for their circulation, the result would tend greatly to strengthen our entire financial situation. Our gold, at present, k performing no funotlon whatever, except that of empty display and idle threat. Our paper money, whether greenbacks or national currency, is in no way strengthened or secured by it. The nation is losing the inte rest on this gold to the amount of six millions per year in gold, or ten millions per year in currency. In the vaults of the banks, and as the natural basis for our national currency, it would be utilized, and would serve the business interests of the country. As the discussion of the financial question develops in Congress, it will appear more and more plainly that the Integrity of the publio debt, which was the price we paid for our pretent national existence, the exemption of tbe debt from that local taxation which if allowed would drive it out of the country and cause it to be held by foreigners, the preserva tion of a national banking system aud cur rency founded on that debt as its basis, and the early adoption of measures calculated to place that banking system on a specie basis, and restore specie payments, are policies in separably bound up with each other aud with the future ascendancy of the Republican party. While, on the other hand, tae remnants of the Democratic party, unable longer to prevent the restoration of the Union, will seek to swindle the creditors with whose money the nation was restored, by taxing the bonds in the hands of Americans into the bands of foreigners, a sure prelude to repudiation ; by warring on the National Banking system and a uniform cur rency, and attempting to revive tbe old State banks, which were tbe financial representa tives of State sovereignty; by raid on the revenue; by continuing the independent Trea sury system with its enormous unutilized hoard of gold, as opposed to the national banking system, in connection with which the same amount of gold, instead of deterring, would greatly aid a return to specie payments; by free trade; and, in Bhort, by the revival of all the financial doctrines whereby the Demo cratic party broke down the National Govern mt-nt, in order to build up State sovereignty and secession. We urge our Representatives in Congress to consider these questions, not separately, but as parts of two general sys tems of finance the National system and the State pystem one of whioh, if carried out, will restore tbe Democratio party to power, and reduce the National Government to its former weakness; and the other will maintain the Government with a fioanoial power pro portioned to its political responsibilities. The Rational Bank. Frrm the JV. Y. World. These institutions will make a hard struggle for life, aided by such powerful auxiliaries that we do not expect to see their death war rant till after the Presidential eleotion, nor even then if Chief Justice Chase should be the successful oandidate. Their continuance will be one of the issues of the contest, and the publio mind must be prepared toform an intelligent judgment thereon. The manifesto of Jay Cooke and the reports of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Currency present the strongest arguments that can be made in bt half of the banks. Before stating the deoisive objections to their existenoe, it may be well to clear the ground by disposing of the pretenses of their friends. The main argument in favor of the National banks is, that they give us a uniform ourrenoy, and protect the bill-holders against loss. This is a specious fallacy. Iu the first place, their notes, so long as specie payments are sus pended, merely displace an equivalent amount of greenbacks, a currency equally uniform, and safer for the holders. The value of the notes consists in their exchangeability for greenbacks at the banks till the banks fail, and at the Treasury when they break. In the next place, it is assumed, without warrant and against probability, that after the greenbacks are withdrawn, the only choice lies between the National bank notes and such a currency as the Western banks furnished before the war. Previous to the war, the State banks were sound in the older States, from the fact that they rested on solid capital. They were weak or rotten in many of the new States from tbe fact that in those States, having little capi tal and large uses for money, credit was stretched to the utmost, and frequently stretched till it broke. This was a temporary evil incident to the newness and poverty of the Western communities. But the West is be coming populous and wealthy, and before the greenbacks go out of use it will be in a posi tion to have State banks as sound as those of the older State3 before the war. It Is absurd to reason on this subject as if the West were never to pass out of infancy. It is absurd to argue, because a child frequently falls in be ginning to walk, that it will never stand firmly on its legs. r ; Moreover, the argument founded on uni formity is overdone and misapplied. When specie pavments are resuniwd, the pwcious metals wiil form the only money that will be a tender for debts. These metals have the stable uniformity which consists in intrinsic value, not the factious uniformity whioh de pends merely on legislation. This argument of uniformity is insisted upon bv tbe bank advocates mainly with reference to intercourse between different parts of the couutry. But foreign countries are distant; and yet no in convenience to foreign commerce results from the fact that their local paper circulation is not alike. Though much paper is used, gold is the hauls of distant commercial intercourse. Foreign bills of exchange are the natural and ordinary currenoy of foreign commerce, aud doniebtio bills of exchange between diil'erent f tha mme country: cold being used to liquidate balances, as it would equally have to be if bank notes were used instead of bills of exchange. The main prop oi the argument for uniformity therefore falls as soon as it is touched. The security of bank notes (whose appro priate use Is in local transactions), though of unquestionable importance, is yet a minor consideration. The reason is this: that the Circulation of banks bears but a small propor tion to their deposits. Both are alike debts to the community. When a bauk fails, if a tnan has twenty dollars of its notes iu his rocket, aud five thousand dollars Jepoiitod in its keeping, it is a small oousolatiou that the twenty are seoured while the five thousand ate lott. It U the practice of modem life for men to oarry very little monoy in their pookets. They make their paymeuta chiefly by bank uiiecno umiiu gniiiKt lueir deposits. Kven the working classes keep but little money by them. If they spend all their wages as they go, they of conree have no surplus in their pockets; and those who save deposit their money in Ravings banks, where it draws in teiet and yet is always at thelt oommnnd. It is far more important to them that the savings banks should be so and than that the reilt mptiou of bauk notes should be secured. If t lie State Governments may be trusted to eit-ct proper safeguards around the savings bnuks and insurance companies, they may alfo be trusted to supervise ordinary banks. TLe Stales oan enforce securities as adequate and efficient as those required by the Federal Government; and by dividing the business, oan give a more efficient superintendence to evry part of it. TUe chief argnment for the national system being thus disposed of, the remaining sophistry need not long detain us. The Comptroller of the Currency (repeating from Jay Cooke) alleges that the national banks pay more to the Government in taxes than they make on their circulation. It is easy to get up a balance sheet to that effect, but equally easy to ex plode it for a cheat. The tax of one per cent, ou the olronlation of the banks has a legiti mate place in -finch an exhibit, but nearly all the residue is humbug. The argument as sumes that the banks would all go out of existence, and the property invested in them vanish, if their circulation were out off. They who use this argument know better. Every Bound bank would remain, and transact busi ness the same as now. The only difference would be that they would loan greenbacks instead of their own notes. A single statistic suffices to expose the folly, or rather the dishonesty, of the pretense that the withdrawal of their circulation would wind up the banks. By the last week's New York city bank statement, it appears that the loans and discounts amounted to $217, 815,509, -and the circulation is only $34,080,792. The banks would remain and do as large a business after olronlation was taken away, and be subject to the same taxes on their business and property, as at present. They would have to pay these taxes either way. It is as absurd as it is dishonest to parade them as an offset to their circulation. Having thns shown that the national banks have no solid argumentative support, and that the apologies for them break down as soon as examined, we shall take an early occasion to urge against them objections whioh we regard as decisive ana overwneming.
