The I'laMeoo.

The telegraph announoes that Secretary McCulloch bae finished his annual report, and It la represented that his views, aa presented in that document, are similar to those which bar* been attributed to him for some time past. He argues In favor of the policy of contraotlng the currency at the rate of four millions annually, a* now provided for by law, and thinks that expansion would be ruin, and the forerunner of repudiation. Will not thoee results follow the policy of contraction? And ivss not the contraction which has already tpksn place had the very effect which Mr. McCulloch fears will follow the policy of expansion or the maintenance of the present volume of paper currency? In tho West we know there is a general complaint among the bankers of a lack of currency to maet the business necessities, snd, notwithstanding we have, according to Mr. McCulloch’s Idea, already too mn^i paper money, loans can not be obtained from the banks, for the very best paper, for less than twelve per cent. Interest, and double that rate on outside operations. These facts, It seems to us, argue against the conclusions of the Secretary of the Treasury. There are other considerations which antsg. onize with Mr. McCulloch’s financial policy. A contraction of the currency at the rate of four millions a month will convert the nonpayment Interest indebtedness into an interest paying debt, and thus add to the public burd. ns. Is this wtae? Why contract, when contraction adds to taxation ? Is not tho Idea which George Francis Train proposes to his audiences In the shape of a resolution the n; ire sensible? It Is this: “Resolved, as the naf i m.il dobt was contracted by Inflation, It sdinll be paid by inlUtion.’’ The' Secretary of the Treasury hoards gold In the Treasury instead of selling It to help bring about resumption, for which he expresses such great anxiety. And why does he not? He say* that If ho .should do so, speculators would buy up the gold and then make tbs premium on It higher than it has yet been. The attempt to resume speoffgpaymcnts in the present flnanrial condillon of the country, would be as fatal as th^ hi pc to save water by pouring it into a seive. It U stated by ablo financial writers, snd they base their opinion upon the exicrlenceof the past, that specie payments can not bemalntalne.l until the paper currency <.f the country is' contracted to about two hundred or two hundred and fifty millions, that being all that can be carried with a currency convertible into gold upon the will of the holder. If this view of tho question be correct, could there be a contraction at the present time to that limit, without causing widespread ruin? The New York Tribune and tho class of financiers It represents, think that the way to resume specie payment is to I'ominence resuming. It this was attempted, with the currency at its present standard, how long would resumption last? If this Government would pay out its gold, instead of paper, it would find its way Into the hands of the speculator", and as a consequence the price would advance, Increasing the present

diiVerence between gold and paper.

YuoSecretary also difl'ers with Messrs. IJuTt.er and Stevens Iu regard to the pledges of the Government In the payment of the flvet vcnlics. He interprets the law as binding lue counfry to pay those bonds In gold, both i rincij Al and interest. Such was not the contrset. nn 1 It was so stated when thobillpro* m.ling f r that loan was under discussion in itc House. Hut why should the Secretary be so anxious to discriminate ia favor of the bondhoIderK and against the other creditors of the i .overurnent, who arc compelled to take tlu'T pay iu paper? Are they better than the -fd.iier's who risked life aud health to give ■, able to these bonds? Have they any higher claims upon the Government than the credi-tor-who furnished supplies during the war, which enabled the <■ ivcrninont to overthxuw tho robcjlion, and thus maintain Us pfllfted faith? Those creditors of the Government are compelled to take lawful money In the payment of iu Indebtedness to them, and why should another class of credit-

ors i,c more favored, unless there Is -■ordract to do so? There is not.i.ai

,io' the dbtinction.

I ’ G certainly unwise, as it would be dlsastroin to attempt to force the resumption of specie payments. It will come naturally and .hut ns soon as the business of the country con adapt Itself to that financial condition. No one, not even the Secretary of the Treasury, is able to determine the amount of paper currency that the trade of the country will require or that can be safely used. Br retrenchment and economy in the public expenditures, without attempting to force specie payments, or even fixing upon a definite period when it shall take place, but leave It to come about naturally, the financial condition would gradually improve, while the opposite policy will produce a crash and that, too, without accomplishing the end in view. We must have a vast curtailment in the public expenditures to lighten the burdens of the people. Gsneral Grant estimates the cost of the military establishment at $77,000,000 a year. This Is equal to ..the entire annual public cxpendlfnree during Mr. Buchanan's administration. What necessity for more than $27,060,000 for that branch of the public service? With that diminution *70,O'M),099 could bs appropriated toward tho payment of the debt bearisg tho highest rate of interest. Thtfre could be similar retrenchment In other departments, and If It waadone it would'do more strengthen the financial condition of the Government and hasten the return of specie payment*, than all the hot bed naeasurea proposed by the Secretary of the Treasury, andthefinaaceln who think with him, to bring about those desirable objects. i wTTke leading edltoral In the Joqpnai el - ifflfWly last Is a specimen of adroit noncom mitt iflsm, more so than ordinary for that print. It would be Impossible to gather from it whether the State Republican organ favors Grant, Chase, Morton, Colfax or Johnson as the next Republican presidential nominee, but it Is probably not as much for Grant now as it was previous to the publication of hi* Impeachment tMtunony. Our neighbor Is evidently Waiting for iomethlng to turn up beforeTfc commits Itself. /roan the Houston Telegraph. Why ta« southern White* Afeetmln

Chase's Views on the Finances.—Th* WaahlDgton correspondent of the New York Tribune has held a conversation with Chief Justice Chase on the financial aspect, and reports his vlaws to be as followai He is opposed to funding the national debt into a non-tax-able five per cent, loan for thirty years. He evidently tblnka that before that time expires capitalists will be glad to take bond* bearing even a lower rate of Interest, and be favora the principle on which the ten-forty loan was Issued. He la in favor of the withdrawal of greenbacks, and advocate* th» National banking system. HaMystne issue of greenbacks should nave been withdrawn nearly or quite pari passu with the Issue of National bank notes. Furthermore, he doet notaee why the seven-thirty loan could not aa well bar* been funded Into ten-forty bonds, bearing five per cent. Internet, aa Into five-twenty bonds which bear tlx per cent, interest. Which shall Govern?—Shall the bondholders or shall statesmen govern this great republic? The conduct of the preaa and the next Congress will decide the question. From the movements referred to we are not without hope that measurea may be adopted to atop contraction of the currency, to pay the debt as rapidly as possible in lawful money, to take away the monstrous privileges of th* national banks, and to substitute for their circulation legal tenders, and to thoroughly revise our revenue system ao that taxation may be reduced. Of course there will be a desperate effort made by the bondholders, by the national banks and other moneyed corporation*, and by manufacturers and capitalists, to Influence Congress; but If that body know* its duty, and has the welfare of the country at heart, it will crush the hydra-headed moneter In in Its infancy. This may be accomplished now, but If the operation be delayed long, the combined power of the bondbolding and national bank oligarchy will grow beyond control or resistance.—Afew York Herald. Tub Impeachment Question.—The response that comas up from the Republican press In answer to the majority report of the Judiciary Committee ia unfavorable to the further prosecution of the impeachment scheme. There la hardly an Influential paper to be named, in the east or the west, that does not advise Us abandonment, and in this they fairly reflect the sentiments of tbe people themselves. The report of tbe impeachment committee makes no such case of malfeasance in offloe as will persuade the people of the necessity of trying and removing the President, while the intense partisan temper of the document Is calculated to deepen tbe wide-spread conviction that tbe project, whatsoever the conditions in which It originated, la now carried forward to farther political ends and punish him for political offenses. The country to In no humor for such a prosecution: It la probable that it will come to be regarded as a persecution, and In that ease would be sure to enlist popular aympathtoa on tbe aide of the Executive. If Mr. Johnson had the smallest hope of being tahen up and made the presidential candidate of any party, h* would conn a trial up-n an Indictment substantially as set forth ia the report. It might prove the means cf renewing a lease of the office be has accidentally administered. — Cincinnati Com-

Republican Misappropriation of Public Money.—” Mack/’ the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, referring to the charge of corruption made against the President in tho majority report of the Judiciary Committee on the question of

impeachment, remarks:

roe c'umko <n misappropriation of public money la flimsy and frivolous. There is nothing to show tbe corrupt use of a single dollar, If the committee had been good judges of human nature, they would not have sought to fasten such an accusation on Mr. Johnson, for whatever else he may be, be Is not an avaricious man, nor one who cares for wealth or riches. Tried by tbe test which they apply to the President, Congress might be Impeached, Individually and collectively, every session. Scarcely a week paaeee but public money Is used for purposes for which there is no warrant in law or Constitution. To Uke an illustration from the present session: Tbe first IsiMie of tbe Globe, a week ago, contains a speech purporting to have been made by Judge Lawrence, in the House of Representatives. It never was made, nor was permission ever given to have it printed. Yet it was printed and pubUebed at an expense of about $200 to the Government. Here le just as clear a violation of tbe law as is proven against tbe President. Judge Lawrence bad no more legal ricfht to print that speech at tbe public expense than be has to print tbe stump speeches he makes In Ohio at »bepublic expense. Yet no one thinks of Impeaching him

for having don* so. Take another case:

For two yean Hr. Poster, of Connecticut, drew a salary of $8,000, miff $2,000 lor a private secretary, when ho was, by the letter of tbe law, entitled to no more than nsnUary of a Senator ef the United States. Mr. Wade does the same now. Be draws tbetaafst* 4f Vice President, and 1* knowa at “acting Vice President,” an office not reoegntzed by the Constitution or any law of tbe United State*. and not by right; and soen.eothe end of the chapter. Instances might be multiplied to show that no department of the Government eould stand the test of etotet accountability for Its expenditure! to which the report of the Judiciary Committee seek* fehold Mr. Johnson. .

Lieutenant Governor. — The Oven county Journal, in copying the Brookville Democrats recommendation of Judge Hanna for the office of Lieutenant Governor on the

Democratic State ticket, remarks:

Tbe above is cue of a great number of vlmilar articles among our exchanges. We have already suggested our preference for Mr. Hendricks as a candidate for Governor. His eminent services In behalf of the party mate him thoroughly deserving of the honor, while tbe faithful support he has heretofore received from It gives it a high claim upon him. We have no doubt he will cheerfully consent to serve in whatever place the Democracy may suggest. During our attendance upon the courts of adjoining counties we have beard the names of the various persons suggested as candidates for Lieutenant Governor pretty thoroughly canvassed by many of tbe leading Democrats in this part of the State. The preference seems to b* decided and unanimous for Judge Hanna. The eminent ability with which Bwtoss discharged the duties of the vailous positions to which he has heretofore been elected, his faithful adherence to Democratic principles, and hta great popularity as a man and a lawyer make him the most available— in this portion of the State at least—of all

ho have bei

He stood firm and faithful to Democratic principles amid the unholy assaults of madmen upon the Government. To such we love to do honor: those should be honored who kept sacred and held Inviolate from vandal hands th* treasure bequeathed us by car revolutionary fathers. With very high regard for all those gentlemen we hear spoken of for this position, Mr. B*r■er, of our own congressional district, we would prefer should have the honor.— Covington Friend. Treasures of State.—We are pleased to learn that William Prather. E.q., present biyhly efficient and gentlemanly county treasurer. at the nrgent solicitation of bis numerous friends, has consented to let bis name go before the State convention, which meet! at Indianapolis on the 8th of January next, for the office of Treasurer of State. Mr. Prather possesses qualifications of a high order, has been a life long Democrat, and if nominated, will canvass the State. We are satisfied that no name will be presented to the convention possessing superior claims, ability and influence. The Democracy of Southern Indiana ask at the bonds of the convention one of tbo State offices, and by general consent have decided upon William Pyather aa their choice. Jeffersonville Democrat. Th* state Convention.—It is now but a little over one month, until tbe Democratic State Convention assembles at Indianapolis. Many good sad prominent men have been named over the State for tte minor position* on the State Ticket. As far aa we can learn there is almost a universal desire among the Democracy that the Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks shall be the nominee of tbe party for Governor. The feeling seems to be unanimous in this port of the country. With no desire to dictate, yet w* can net but express tbe wish that he may be the candidate for the party. We believe that he has more strength among tho people than may other man that could be nominated at the present time. His character a* a man can not be Impeached even by bis wont enemies; his record as a true Democrat Can not be questioned by any one. In point of aMHty, we doubt whether he has an equal la ttoe State. In fact, we find in him all the elements of a good polltlcial leader. What wa need in the great eampatgn of next year is good, judicious, and able candidates. We or* decidedly in favor of Thomas A. Hendricks, as tbe Democratic candidate for Goveroor.—Columbia City Poet.

side hi a cor* For htnueif, he thought Ns icon on his throne was not a better

be (Gregory) was.”

Mr. Carroway, (mulatto negro) said “at present the colored man could not send his wife from one part of the State to another, be-cau-e she would be placed in a smoking car, and exposed te the maoite ef lose and obscene while men. He did aet seebow any friend of the entered man could vote agsTBst breaking

down this monopoly.”

Mqjor Semple said “he thought the conven. tion nad better meet this question fairly. He S*." 1 Mrtaaonahl*, considering the tagSJT ttto country, and th* attitude la which the two races stood to each ether, ♦y*, tbe steamboat captain should have the power to nay to the colored people, 'you »b»ii not sit at the same table with white people, and mix up with them as you please.’ It had been recently decided in some of th* States that this was a justifiable exercise of authority. Alter having Inserted in the conatitutloa various provisions which were intended to secure to ail races civil rights, he thought the question of what said rights were ought te be left to tbe

court*.”

Mr. Griffin (“Incarnate fiend”) said “he T** <1 action had come up, but be should meet the issue fairly and vote for th* pronoaert amendment.” Mr. Rapier (mulatto negro) said the “meaner la wbioh colored gentlemen and colored ladies were treated waa past bis comprehension. He wanted the gentleman from Montgomery to understand that bedid not consider himself honored by Bitting in a ear beside him, because he was a white man simply, hat only because of hie intelligence. He (Rapier) bad dined with lords in England in bia life time. Out of respect for his constituent* the delegates ought to vote for the amendment.” Mr. Saffold (white) said be regretted that such a fire brand had been thrown unnecessarily ia their midst. But he hoped they would meet the issue like men who knew what was right and dared to do It While they were protecting the rights of one section of the people of Alabama, they ought not to neglect tbe righto of another section. Did not tbe convention know what hod recently been tbe issue in the Northern State*, and what the decision hod been ? Asa friend of the colored man, as a friend of philanthrophy, he protested against a war of races. They knew their opponents Bought to fores this issue upon them, and he hoped they would not toe ao unwise as to allow them to do so. He ahiwid vote against the proposition. Mr. Morgan said: “ Tbe question had been already legally decided in the North. A colored man ought to be content with getting tbe same value lor bis money as a white man, and ought not to seek to force himself into the same ear with white people.” Mr. Bingham fulminated in a few remarks

Mr. Dustan moved to postpone the question until Monday, as be saw that most of tbe delegates had left their seats. The moticn v,a, agreed to,and tbe question postponed. Nspoleon warned bis soldiers to see the great exhibition free cf charge, or at a reduced rate. The commission refusal to make any alterations in tbe arrangements. To accomplish bis ends the Emperor ordered that a detail of soldiers should be mode to guard the exhibition, and that the men shoula be changtd every day. Strategy triumphed. A providence girl was found dead, from hunger and other things, lost Monday, and an examination showed her stomach and mouth full of sand and stones.
