C. An jr. 1, istu. His Excellency, Andrew Johnson, President- of tho United Httites Sir: I tnl;e the liberty of nddrrssin- you privately on the subject of the convention we had this moi-nincr, reeling oh I do the treat dimjrer to the welfare of tho Country should you carry out the designs then ex pressed. First. On the subject of I lie displacement of the Secretary of War. Ills removal cannot bo effected njrninst his will, without the consent of tho Semite. Jl Is but a short time since the United Slates Senate was. In session, and why not then have neUed for bin removal if it was desired'.' It certainly was the sentiment of the legislative branch of the government to place Cabinet ministers beyond tho power of Executive removal, and it is retty well understood that so far ns ( 'ahinet. minis ters are Directed by the Tenure of Ollice bill it was In tended especially to protect the Secretary of War, in Whom the country fell frreat confidence. The lne.m Iiir of the law may be explained away by an astute lawyer, but common sense and the views of loyal peo ple will pive to It tho effect intended by its Trainers. Second. On the subject of the removal of tho very able commander of the Fifth Military District, let ma ask you to consider tlie effect it would have upon the public. He is universally nnd deservedly beloved by the people who sustained this -ruvernmeut through its triah', and feared by those w ho would still be the enemies of the government. It fell to the lot of but few men to do as much njrainst nn armed eueniv as Oeneral Sheridan did during the Rebellion: and it is within the scope of hut few in this or any other coun try to do what ho has. .His civil administration Ins piven equal satisfaction." He has had difllcultics to contend with which uo other district commander has encountered. Almost, If not quite from the day ho war appointed District Commander to the present time, tho picas ling piven out that he was to bu removed, ami that the administration was dissatisfied with him. This Iihs emboldened the opponents to tho laws of Con trress within his command to oppose them In every way in their power, und has rendered necessary mea sures which otherwise, may never have been neces sary. In conclusion, allow mc to say, ns a friond, desiring peace and quiet, and the welfare of the whole coun try, North nnd South, that it is, in my opinion, muro tiian the loyal people of the country I mean those who supported the government durltii; the great Re bellion will quietly submit to, to free tlie very man of all others who they havo expressed confidence in, removed. I would not have taken the liberty of nd llressing the Excsutive of the United States thus, but for the conversation on the raided alluded to in this letter, and from a sense of duty, und foelin that I know I am right in this matter. Willi great respect, yonr obedient servant, (Signed) " V. S. (Juant, General. Among the papers la a letter to General Grant from Major-Gencnil Sheridan, dated Now Orleans, January Vf, I!li7, in relation to matters in Texas, and particu larly referring to the condition of Union men and frcedmen in different parts of the Slate, which ho says is truly horrible. He says the government is de nounced frcedmen are shot, and Union men are per secuted, if they have the temerity to express their opinions. This letter General Grant, under date of Jlenihiuarlers Annies of the United States, January 89, 1S07, indorsed as follows: "Iiespectfullv forwarded to the Secretary of War." Attentin is invited to that portion of the within Communication which refers to Ihe condition of Union men nnd frcedmen in Texas, and to the powcrlessness of the military, in the present state of affairs, to afford thorn protection. Kven the moral effect of the pre sence of troops is passing away, nnd a few days ago a squad of soldiers on duty was fired on by citizens in Brownsville. In my opinion, the great number of murders of Union men nnd freedmen in Texas, are not only, as a rule, unpunished, but uninvest igated, and constitute practically a state of insurrection, and be lieving it to bo the province nnd duty of every good" government to afford protection to the lives, liberty and properly of her citizens, I would recommcud the declaration of martini law in Texas to secure these ends. The necessity for governing any portion of our territory by martial law is to be deplored. If resorted to, it etiould be limited in it" authority and should leave all local authorities and civil tribu nals free and unrestricted, until they prove their in efficiency on unwillingness to perforin ttieir duties. Martial law would eive security, or comparatively so, to nil classes of cilir.eus, without regard to race, color, or political opinions, and could be continued until poclelywas capable of protecting itself, or until the State is restored to its full relations with the Uniou. The application of martial law to ono of these States would be a warning to all,' and, if necessary, can be extended to all. (Signed) XT. S. Grant, Gcueral. Jteport of'tlio Senate Fliuuicc Committee. The Senate Committee on Finance, in the report made to-dav, remark it should be the effort of Con press not merely to declare and obey the existing law, bnt to adopt a comprehensive policy that will preserve the public faith, restore confidence to tho people and stability to our business interests, and yet will appeal to the sense of justice of the people, if It is unhappily drawn into the arena of wirty politics. Financial matters ought not to be in any sense partisan, but thev may become so unless Congress can adopt a policy meeting all the requisites named. The contest OH these most delicate and difficult questions may bo transferred to the hustings, whct'S the ueat of party Strife may lead to dangerous results. The committee examine at length the provisions of the bill, state the condition of tho public debt, nud then, takins up the question as to whether tho 5-20 bonds are redeemable iu nny other money than the coin of the United States, say the duties on imported goods and interest on tho public debt are by law ex cepted from the legal tender clause. This implies that the principle of the debt is not excepted. The construction drawn from the payment of previous loans in gold is answered by tho fact that tho act un der which these bonds were Issued expressly declares that a note shall be lawful money as well tt9 gold, and shall be receivable in payment of tho public debt. The argument that a construction was put upon tho law by the agents of the United States is answered by the fact thnt this was not a mutual construction, re cognized by both parties as a part of the contract, hut was rather an opinion based upon a supposition of a State of facts which, when the nvc rears expired, did not actually exist. II is clear that if the bonds are viavahln when due. In leial lenders, thev are redeema ble after five vears from tiio date, in the same kind of money. The word "payable" imports a duty or obli gation which must be performed at the time stipulated. The "redeemable" implies a discretionary power. Which may or may not bo exercised, lint the same kind of money in the same mode tendered w ill redeem n note nr tiav'a note. Tlio committee huve deemed it their duty ta present the argument In favor of redeem ing the bonus in legal tenner notes, ior it. cuuuui to led that this construction has been adopted by many who disclaim all purpose to evade the pnblic J . . .m .1.- .. A i . Clef Minditia , li , engagements ; sun mc huiuiucu .u..u these donna were generally ihkch upou mu tui'i' iirn that tbev would be tiaid in coin, that this was ex. presly declared by the authorized oj-euts of the go vernment, II uegmitll.ilig mu lurin. "flint sncn declaration must have been known by Congress and was not noirnt'.ved ; that it was sanc c,,,,l hv tlirpc successive Secretaries of the Treasury, that upon the faith of it the bonds have heen contiini- thnt upon the luith ol it tlie bonus nave neen eonuini ally hit'her in market value than the notes, aud that a public sentiment, both in this country nnd in Eu rope, would regard it as a breach of public faith & a I'M, II public credit is so sensitive a qua lily that time cannot restore it wheu impaired. It is better far to forego a doubtful privilege if, iu the judgment of impartial men, we have no right toexercise it; but the doubt should he promptly removed. The discussion of the question manifestly impairs the public credit, and until it is ..ii inH iu. no iv lnnn can be negotiated. The public mind becomes accustomed to the Idea of repudiation, ana ine wool-si Km-u.- if. ....., j, worthy of the days of George Law, poison tho luuu a r..tii.iii. niil nrivnte credit. It has, tho committee say, been proposed by Con press, by joint resolution, to declare that the 6-iM bonds are redeemable only In gold. This, instead of SefJing the question, will only creato divisions and parties, and the resolution, when passed, will be sub Wt to fiiMtiilwm-find reneal. These considerations decidinir the question, to propose a substitution of new bonds, clear and ex plicit in tiu ir terms, for the 5-ilu bonus as tucy uutumo redeemable. . Tilts exchange must depend upon the voluntary consent in me uoiuer; ;mit It is uelievea mat uio great body of them will readily make the exchange, and that the government will be able to sell the new bonds ata rate that will redeem or nurchaso an equal amount of the 0-'2O bonds. It is thu manifest interest of the bondnolder, us well as of the tax-payer, to Jjsve his right clearly defined, aud that Congress, after full consideration, should so settle them that they will not be affected by any uncertainty as to the ....maii nf their ntvmciit. if this exchuiiL'a In re fused bv the bondholders, it will be timo enough to dcteimlne wlietner, ny ine couuiuou oi ut uouu, ue mar not be pam in luwiui money. The plan proposed established the maximum orenr J, ii. Hinoiiut lixed bv law, and may be dimin ished bv payment ior mu "i umimmuu in bonds. These processes would, it Is believed, rapidly sesiors our currency to iu muudard of gold without THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, the severe disturbance nnd uncertainty canned by tho present system. When tho restored credit of the go vernment advances the market value of our bonds to the gold standard, specie payments maybe resumed nnd maintained. This p'un Is In accordance with the uniform practice of our government prior to July 1, 1S13, sndor Great llrltaln during the long period of the suspension of spicie payments from 17U7 to 1m2S. The holder of the paper money paid out was allowed at any time to con vert It Into a bond orannnity. The notes forced upon the people dining a suspension of specie payments were never allowed to be ot lens value than other se curities held by public creditors. The committee are of the opinion the time Is not distant when it will become the duty of Congress to repeal so much of existing laws as make the United States notes a legal tander in payment of debts either public or private. This provision was adopted with extreme reluctance, nnd under the pressure of ovcr w helming necessity. The committee having stated their views npon the difTi rent propositions of the bill, add thai they do not coiiMiler this measure as embracing nil tho financial Iiiensures demanded by the public interest, but they present it iu the hope that it may not be embarrassed by other lluaucial problems now cxcltln;; general dis cussion.

Sd II the wind be found to veer, by compass, from lett to right, or to haul (bs the veering or the wind from left to right Is technically called), then keep the ship by the wind, or a little freeon thestarbnard tacit, and under as much canvass as would ordinarily be carried at any other time with the same force of wind, and continue to keep her by the wind, or a little freo, however much the wind may change to the rlirbt, until the barometer begins to rise aud the wind Itself reaseln violence (there need be no apprehension of the wind shitting In any other direction than to the right, with the ship situated and acting like the one In pnlnn. 4th If the wind by fnnnd by compass to veer from right lo letl or to back (as the veering of the wind In this case Is technically called), then run the ship otT at once w Ith the wind on the starboard quarter, note Immediately the course tbat bas to be steered to do so, and stick to that verycourse,no matter bow much Ihe wind may change to Ihe left, as long as need be, f-r you can. owing to the vicinity of the land, or until the barometer begins to rise and the wind lo cease In violence.
