For nearly four years be has been detacked for duty here through the influence and at the earnest eolicitition f Coventor Morton and other republican offici i'.. The character of such a nun cannot be assailed by base calumnies and inuendoes without in a mcaaure compromising the distinguished geutletrtan with whom be lias been associated.

Caret, of Phila delphia, from which we make the following cx tract. TcxasvRT DtPAHTiir t, April 4, lbG5. Dear Sib: Your favor of the 27th ult. wouh have received an eirlier reply but for preying ofüci&l duties. I bave now onlv time to remark bricÜy that I am rot responsible for what the newspapers may have !iid alx)ut the financu policy l hall adopt as secretary of the treasury You seem to be apprtl. endive tliat tho return to specie payments to be c fleeted by a contrac tion of government isue; and you say that, "in one thing all have been disposed to unite, and teat was that an early resumption was the cardi cal pcict of my policy, and ihat it wm to be sought tt whAtevcr cost to the capitalist! and working men of the country. A reM: motion of specie payment is with me a "cardinal point," because I believe that the specie basis is the only safe and healthy one for business; and because 1 am clearly ot the opin ion that the interestd of capitalists and working men will be promoted by a return to it; but no policy could be more unwise than that which should attempt to accomplish it by such a cur tailment of tbe currency as would prostrate or injuriously affect those great interests upon the prosperity of which the government depends for its revenue, and which cannot be broken down or severely depressed without deptivirg labor of its proper reward. The h'ntory of Wall ttrcet. withia the lait ten days, sustaiLS the concctues of the opiniou which in another position 1 havo frequently ex pressed, that the high price of gold was to be attributed, in part, at least, to other influences than the expansion of the currencv, and eeenis to indicate that the paper circulation of the country which has been issued or secured by the govern meet, eves while its volume is being increased, may appreciate tearly to the fpecie standard. As the war draws to a c!o?e, and the restoration of the union is no longer doubtful, gold and currency approximate rapidly to each other iu their market value, anJ, of course, all tho?e articles which were made to follow the former in its ascent must sympathize with it in its decline. This cannot be prevented by any action of the treasury, even if .the interests of the country required it. It might have been better for the country and the people that the decline of coin should havo been more gradual than has been the case for the week or two paat, but it is better that it should have come down as it bas than that it should not have declined at all. It is understood, I believe, among thoe whose habits of personal iudulgence lead them into protracted excesses, that " sobering off" rapidly it a d-incerou experiment; but uangeroui aa it may be. it is preferable to continued intoxication. It docs not follow, however, that because gold has declined from lc to 46, and mar speedily decline etül further, prices generally will fall to the SAtse extent; cor do I believe tbat any per roascnt decline which U likely to occur, will prostrate the great interests of tbe couutry. On the contrary, i am of opinion tLt when the specie standard is restored, or nearly reached, the assurance which this state of things wül creatiw that the business of the counrry i to be trt,nct eJ oo a firmer bais will divert capital from sacculation, ani tirr.ulate, instead of proMrate, rroduetive Indu.trv. Tbc lose of the war will remove the govern. ment. in a good degree, from the market, both a a borrower and a purchaser, ai.d while the buincv of the cuntr? m being accommodated to the new order of things, there will be, to a considerable exiert.a stagnation and embarrass meat; but as hostilities are cow likely to terminate before speculation haa resulted iu large individual indebtedness, the transition is likely to be effected without the d:jicrs which fo rr.any have apprehended. The liabilities of th- people are so email, tbe eirculatirg medium is so ampe and ao well secured, the reorce of the nation are eo va?t, ai d our political future is t brilliant, that the embarrassments which a change in the business of the couutry muu brirg about will be but temporary, and the indication? nre row decided th t bv the time reconstruction is fairly commenced enterprise will he quickened into tew life, atd with its integntj established the only drawback upon the national jtcsperity. ar.d the only stain upon the national escutcheon rem vH,tbe great republic will move forward agiin ti its cueer of prosperity and honor, scarcely sUccered by such a struggle with guaLtic rebellion a would have brcken any other nation into fragrr.est.s. Whit remmendatiotis I shall rake to ccn gres upon the tar-ff qr.et:on I anj t ot now prepare J to say. I expect to be aMa to in. dorse the bi'l that shall be prepared hv the commission, aud shall be disappointei if li'.i b:Udoes nothtrmonie our I'oreigr.rd internal duties, ar.d pro duce a revenue which shall besuScient to meet the interest on the public debt, sad gradually reduce the principal, without being opprcive to thefexrle I In ci::c!uion, pcrrr.it n a to say that I sec no j ctuse for iiicourjjeaeat in the present or prospective condition ol the country. Our national debt is Urge, but our national resources are sufficient to catry it without embarrasment. While it would be foolish to call it a national blessing, it may be so managed as not to be a national calamity. ar.d in the worst Tiew that can betaken of it, it ia a small matter io comparison with the inetiiBb! value of the union, ia the maintenance of whtch it bs been created.

The Position The surrender of General Lee virtually estabtablishes the close of the four years' war for the American union. Whataver military force continues in arms for the rebellion must either yield at once or accept the fate which the laws of war and of civilization alike decree to those who protract a hopeless struggle, shedding blood in mere passion, without object or hope of success. The military experment has been tried. It has been long, fearful terrible in the trial, and it has resulted in demonstrating the superior power of the government of tic union ever tbt trosjert rebellion ever organired n any country in the history ot Lvotau eveou. We speak tbe words with deliberation, because there it a great truth for hitory ccr.talned in them. Otbrr attempts have been made to overthrow government in en

tire couLtrcs cr in rart. ot nations, but ia no in stance on record has there been such a srand force, such a michty arcjimeni. sach an out pouring of b'ood and treasure by the enemies of an cstab'L-hed covernmect. It was not strarge that thcpccpiC of Europe hrank in awe and as tonishment from the display ma Je on the western bores of the Atlantic such a display as history had not described, and as imagination could hard ly compass. Millions of men arrayed suddenly in the Meld tu the two s'de-t of a contest, for arid agair-it Uw, armed with all the appliances of modern time, were a spectacle to which the eyes of tbe world might well be directed with wonder ar.d feif. The ei.d bai bveu reached, or ia at band, after four years, and the nation which has overcome tuch a rebellion, conquered such a resistance to in laws, ia entitled to receive, and will receive, the respect of the civilized woild. It is a great victory. Its grandeur, huwever. will dereud on tbe nse that is mde of it. The people havo shown their strength; it remains for them to show their wisdom- The voices which come from all i arts of the country; from parti sans of all ;oIu:cal pirtics, are lull of good piotai-e. The d ctrine of moderation in the hour of triumph seems to be inculcated by the most inGuentiil pres-es of both grett parties, and the hopes of wite men are made brighter by this fact. The tiition is about to pass into a time of warm debate, fur it is impossible to avoid thedi4cupsio;i of thoe political 4UC.tions which aro now to take the place of the military questions already decided, and opinions will differ. Nor will the differences of opinion he party differences. The questions arising will be new, and will operate to break up exuling party lines, so that, the war beitig ended, men will find tbemelves leiving the patties with which they have acted for four yeus papt and taking their positions on the new lines The pre.-ent is therefore an imnortant crisis, and very much of the future depends en the first step to be taken by the pre-ideut.

We bear of a monstrous swindle perpetrated Lear Franklin, a short time ago. Involving the autu of $75,tHX). Tbe circumstance attending the tratsictica are related as follows: Two tnen wha had been linking a well uear Franklin, went into the boroughs acd after electleg tbeir "customers," state-J that thai thev i bid struck oH, acd that the well was puuDioß one hundteJ barrela per day. They desired to sell out the whole thing, tLd wanted $75,OW) cash! The other parties immediately started to look at the well, and, on arriving there, fourd every thirg tj representedthe machinery in perfect rperation, and tho well pumping iato a but ta:ik a very good

quality of oil, it fully the utt indictlel. The visitors agreeo to mte-t. but a-ke-J tor a lew hours for deliberation. Tbey accordingly re turned to Franklin, and consulted pome of the best "oil men," to ascertain the value of such 'suppofablo" icvestroent, and were assured tbat It would be worth $3U0,(XK) at least. This settled tbe question, and tbe buyers hurried back to the well-owners, cltsed the bargain, planked the cash, and prepared to make their fortunes without delay. Tbe next day it was found that the old employes of tbe company lud left, but others were promptly intal!e l and the pumping resumed. Judge the astonishment of the purchasers upon discovering that, cotwith standing tbe continual pumping and flow ot oil, it did not rice in the tank ! In other words, there were Surface indications" of a big leak age The Dump was stopped and au excavation commenced at the side of the tank. A few feet below a smaller tank was found, communicating with the upper by a small tube through which the oil was conducted. From the lower tai.k another tube decendtd diagonally to the well, about eighteen feet below the sur face, and at a Mill lower depth the well wa3 plugged. This devise for securing an inexhnut ible well could not well be improved. You pumped, ami there was jour oil, and you kept on pumping, and no more tanks were rtquired !
