' Our doubts on these interesting points
are solved by the progress of t eyents. l l
The reform which they pledged 1.4 us, of

have found possible, if he had exhibited

were to inaugurate turns eat to be a vast'
deal of industry in caulking the small
cracks in the public coffers, and throwing
the doors thereof with open for the pas
sage of every form of greet robbery, un
challenged. - The retrenchment which
. bad • right to expect, sums up, at

Udall of candieends and cheese
parings, which are to be borne triumph
antly before these legislators returning
to their constituents, while their indus
trious accomplices march off, on the flank,
loaded to the eyes with millions of the
public plunder. Indeed, they hoes shown
their ability to accomplish anything that
they might undertake, for they—these
virtuous Senators and Representatiyes
who were in deep distress touching tho
irregular employment of unexpended
balsnces for the profit . of officials, without
the loss of a dollar of the principal to the
Commonwealth—they have transcended
every bad precedent, defied ill law, nulli
fied the Constitution, and plunged the
State, at one bold thrust, back and sheer
down into that gulf of ruin for
State honor and State credit which
they style • policy of internal im
provement, and :which the people
of Pentisylyania were foolish enough
to
see d o
ver, had filled up, and forever
closed over, by the amendment of 1557
protecting the sinking-fund. They
have ineugursted the most gigantic pub
lic robberies ever heard of in this genera
tion of our citizens. They have sown
the prolific seeds for .a future harvest of
shameful bankruptcy and repudiation,
which shall once more tell that 'old and
infamous story of Pennsylvania dishon
ored. And they have succeeded in or
- .
emitting these public robberies with such
skill and power, that, unless the courts of
law shall be found incorruptible, there is
not another ouster to which the people
of Pennsylvania can look for protection
and relief with any just hopes. 1
But there taut be kept up at least a I
show of economical reforth in the public
expenses. And this is done in the gener
al appropriation bill. A few hundred
dollars are saved here and there, is the
salaries of various petty officials. The
appropriations for the schools are pared
down. The poor desteintes of the State
are docked $25 a piece; $5O each is taken
away from the blind children; $15,000
from homes for friendless orphans;
$3,000 from &Jewish hospital; $5,000 from'

THE Fthanzisi ISU
Letter from senator suerman.
Wasnisovou, March 17.
To the Editor of She Cincinnati Corn
mercioi:
\
I beg to avail myself of the use of your
paper to answer some criticism; , the
bank sectione of the Funding bin, It is
claimed that it is uuj list to cowrie trio
National Banks to secure their eir lo
tion by a deposit of the new bonds. It
is said to violate the public faith pled eil
to them, and confiscate a part of th IT
property. This Is not true in any
aped.
We have now the right to redeem their
five- twenty bonds at par with gold, and
propose now to exercise that right.
Some of the National Banks hold the
bonds of 'Bl,and the ten-forty bonds which
arc not yet due. These they have the •
right at any time to withdraw, and eith
er to sell in the market or hold at their
pleasure. The Funding bill advarkes
the 'Sls above par in gold, and the banks
get the benefit of the premium. All we
require is, that the banks, within one
year, shall secure their circulating notes
with the now bonds, or retire with all
' their property unimpaired, and give way
to new banks who are willing, in ex
change for a most valuable franchise, to
aid in reducing the interest of the public
' debt. ._.
Now, this is clearly within the power
I of Congress, It I. just and right, it is for
the interest of the National Banks, and Its
defeat in the name of the banks would
tend to overthrow the whole system.
The right to lassie circulating notes is
held by the banks at the pleasure o ,Coos gress. So far as this franchleis go thy
are "tenant' at will." Congress reserv
ed the power to change, modify, or alter
the system, and may withdraw at any mo•
mint the right to issue notes as money,
which In its nature is a Government fran
chise. Congresa cannot deprive a bank
of its bonds, bills of exchange, or other
property; but by the terms of the Bank
ing act., and the nature of the franchise,
it may withdraw the power to issue circu
lating notes, or make it subject to any
conditions it may deem for the public
interest.
The National Sinks were organized to
accomplish three great objects :
'l. To absorb State ban paper.
2. To tarnish a paper k
circulation of
uniform valor throughout the country,
and convertible into coin.
8. To tarnish a inarket for United States
bonds.
The system has been a success profit •
able to the banks and useful to the public.
The Funding bill is based - upon the sup
position that they, ill continue to be so.
It provides for withdrawing the green
backs, end giving them the entire field
of circulation. It raises the gold value of
all their 'securities, and allows them to
sell any of their securities and pocket the
profits and premium. In return for
these great benefits, we require them to
buy a portion of each of the 5, 4}, and
4 per cent. bonds. Is this a hardship ?
The 4 per cents would today, if in the
market, sell at par in gold. They are
much more valuable thars the 10-40 snow
now worth ninty-seven— because they
run longer and are free from the income
tax. 'The bonds are not now par, but
probably loon will be. The average late
is 41 per cent., so that at the most the
banks will not loge over °netball of 1 per
cent. interest on their securities until the
bonds rise to. par. In return, they get
the great advantages conferred by this
crest bill. They get the right to issue
United States notes—Printed, issued,
protected, and guaranteed by the United
States—to an amount equal to four fifths
of their securities; and these they rosy lean
at 6to 12 per cent. Ought they to com
pliant
,Is said they pay heavy taxes. If they
go Into private banking. they become
subject to every tax now paid by National
banks, except the tax of one per cent. on
circulation. The tax on deposits, stamps,
profits, dividends, end all the State taxes
will apply to theta es private banks.
Even the tax en circulation mores greatly
to their benefit, as out of tt the United
States pay all the cost of printing, engrave
tug, and issuing their bilto, and • all the
uthiesnePrrivoaftetbbatr, Banking
y na ut re tll inane
circulating notes, it would cost them near
one.half of one, per cent. As for going
back to State bank 1201.C3. that Is out of
hopeuestion. No intelligent banker can
to renew the heterogenons absurdity
of local bank notes, good only In the.
Stets where issued. The truth Is that
banks will be relieved from burdensome
taxes only as fast as private citizens are,
and their add In reducing the inte,rest on
our debt will be the strongest argument
for the repeal of taxes that bear hardly
open all alike. -
I need not say to you thaf . l am now
and always have been a friend of the
National Banking system. Their Milla•
gars are Intelligent men, and are gener.
ally willing to bear their share of the re.
duction of their profits, inevitable from
the resumption of specie payments. The i
movement against this essential part of ,
the Funding hill comes not from the I,
West, bat from the very men who now I
have a 'sectional monopoly of the banking
franchise, and chiefly front a gentleman'
who, when Comptroller of the Car.
rency, In violation of law, gave this mo
nopoly to the old banks innew Engla h nd
and New York. In my nection wit
this matter I wanted to be fair and just
to the banks; but I wanted to secure free
banking, and see that the Government,
in the reduction of Its Interest, would
share with the banks the profit derived
from circulating notes.
The Parlient of Great Brin, where
property and am cute are enthro tai ned, did
with the Bank of England precisely what
we propose, in the Pending bill, to do
with oar banks,i and I should regret, ex
ceedintly, to see our banks less ready
than the Bank o England to yield to the
public good. Very tr ail o

course of it he makes the following coin
perigee between iron and 'hoot nails:
In regard - to the durabiloy of iron

will contain a recommendation that ben.
Selmepff, who paid Mr. Butler for the ap.

sense of propriety than he wris credited
Niilli, Gun. Schoepif has already resigned
and retired from the public service. The
rePort. will Insist on the trial by a Naval
Court of Commander tipshur ' for his
alleged complicity In the frauds. The
examination of A8R.6301 . Elliot, of Phila
delphia, 13 also urged.
.A.md,. finally, the
report will recommend the dismissal of
alt cadets at-West Point and Annapolis
who were appointed from districts in
which they did not reside. All this is
very well as far as it gum; but the whole
Inquiry hes come to a "most lame and
• impotent conclution." Congressmen
would better punish their own huckster!

out of the Patent Office, or wrecking re
