RICHMOND. IND., JAN.-12th. 1869. RESUMPTION. ftefoiaaler of Soaator Mort to Mr. Greeley's last Letter The Senator Ably Dofend hi Financial Theery Th PecuJiaritles" f New York c Kivunce nut Adaptrd t the Xecevsitres of the Nation Disastrous IteuilUef Immediate Hr-wbUn..-,t:sx ..'?..-: r The foflifowjng is Senator Morton's rejoinder to the second letter of Horace (ireelcy;; pnbrished in Hie New? York Trirmne of Friday last: ,. . , . . f , , Washington, J an . 4 1 86 8 , fro?. Horace Grttley . t . . t , DkahSir I have always been averse to newspaper controversies, and this is the first one into which I have been beguiled, j Your seoond letter, tike the first, proceeds upon tbe r.ssn option that by a mere declaration of. reK(o; ti-n t.e currency wotild be brought tt par, and that each declaration kjl I be made without delay. This ademption it uasupported by a single fact or argument. It is contradicted by all financial ex perience, whether s i -connection with -; governments or banks, a -.. Yon offer tot prove that ' resumption fthould take place at once, by Baying that the way for a drenkaxd to reform is to reform at once, and not at the en 1 of two year and half. ; Pardon ouo for 1 saving that Icannctseo the analogy There i would be quite as much wisdom in saving that the child should h e born a man to save time, became the way to reform a drunkard is to reform at once. As a military commander yo i would attack every fortress by storm, without awaiting the slow process of investing and battering down its wall, because the way for a tinner to repent ii to repeat atace. Sach is your logic. When you gravely tell the country that resumption at a period in the future, giving time to the Government and the people to prepare for it, - would cause more distress than immediate resumption, the proposition seems to require no answer. It would be quite as logi cal t say that it : would be safer to jump down Niagara,, like Sam. Patch, than to go down by the inclined plane. You say that ' questions of finance reeel veil practical solutions in New York which are not familiar ia Indiana. This is most likely true, and yet there are some things very well understood - even in Indiana, and among them ' that, a knowledge of stock and gold gambling is not necessary to a correct understanding of the laws of finance, and that the less we have of the "peculiarities" of New York finance in the administration of the Government the better for the sountry. Your letter contains a strange admixture of resumption by manifesto and resumption by contraction. Yon say that tUe policy of contracting the currency at the rate of four millions a month would surely have brought specie pay n.'ents if it had been continued. : Yes, if all Lhe currency had been taken up and nothing but gold and silver : left. . You forget that while the contract! n ' wagoing -on the currency grew -worse, ard seem not to comprehend the idea, which 1 yon evidently regard as a country no j . , . . . .' tion. that the way for the Government to bring its cnrrencynp-to par, is to prepare to pay it according to promise You beliere resumption can be brought about by' contraction, or by ' manifesto without contraction. - You treat depreciated currency as a vice to be reformed by a good resolution instead of a dis -eae to be cured bjr time and the application of Judicious remedies. "' 'You believe in rumption by faith and not by works. An old preacher once illustrating the doctrine of salvation by faith, ail r "If the Lord bids you "Jump thro a stone wall, yon "must jump. Jumping ing is your business,' and going through j the wall is the Lord's." ' A declaratfon'nf mrne Hate resump tion would result in a disastrous failure, which would leave the currency' In a much worse condition than it is now. If h were successful, it would produce great distress and lasting injury to busi ness. If the Government had in tfie Treasury go!d dollar for dollar with the greenback currency. It should not do so ; at once. To !do so would be a crime against the country. In your fir?t letter, which is not tOO old yet touWyoa finally made re sumption lmpoisible, by laalting it dc pendent on a bond drawing four or five per cent interest which would sell for a premium in gold, which the holders of greenbacks would prefer to coin, and into which the currency would be fund ei. Such a bond being impossible, in the nature of things, in advance .of resumption, it would seem unnecessary to discuss your plan. Yon made resumption to result from contraction, and contraction to depend upon ia method incapable of execution. ' Until your 1 , plan shall be made consistent with it3elf,' and as execution shown to be possible, it is hardyiworth ' while to : consider', what would, be' ita effect upon the country, and I have discussed it only as one of the many, obscurities cast into the public mind calculated to prevent its clear perception ot the situation and of the true measures for relief"4 - ri I believe that resumption is demand '

PTa ATTT - TAItTX-

To IInvolifla and tho Public: ; . . t ,4 . W - M sk& A mA A Dr. A. M. French, formerlj of Jlew Yoik City, respectfully announces that he has resum ed ptnctice, and will, for many years to come, , Tisit monthly nearly all of the principal cities . of tbe Union at stated periods for treatment ol alt forms of chronic dtsetse. Having just rr " turned from Europe where lie has for - the past tkk years been devotine his time exclusi-relr to thai treatment of patients in the ' principal hospitals in France, England and Germany, ha can assure the afflicted that in all chronic diaeases he can safely be relied upon. Among tbe chronic ailments which he cares be would mention the following.' -vt All diseases of the Lirer, usually called L-ivef Joinplaint, all affections of the Langs, such as Consumption,(Joughs,Bronchitis, Loss of Voice, Sore Throat, Asthma, etc., etc ; Dyspepsia, or Sourness of the Stomach after meals, Spitting ap of Food, Belching of Wind, Constipation of the Bowels, Sick Headache, Neuralgia in erery form, all affections of the Kidneys and Bladder, . Rheumatism, Dropsies. Palpitation of the Heart, Epilepsy or Fits, Scrofula, all diseases of the Blood, Eruptions, Salt Bheum, General Debility, Nervousness, and alldiseases peculiar to the Female system. ; HaTing, as above stated, made all the above , and their kindred complaints a long lile study, 1 and having seen, personally examined and trea-, ted successfully hundreds of cases afflicted with 1 each varietv of these diseases. Dr. French feela . conGdent that in offering his services to the afflicted world in this way, he is simply acting in! the line of duty. He has no desire to be anything less than STRICTLY HONORABLE with' alii .who may seek his aid, and will therefore still adhere to the rule he adopted in early life, nev- ' er to flatter the sick and inspire hopes of recov . ery, unless the case admits of no doubt in that ' respect. Many cases being isccbable, snd as be does not wish to pat any of this class to expense, he has devised a way in which bis opinion may be obtained free of charge. The particulars in regard to this will be given under th head of "Waste of Time." All persons who' may think of consulting Dr. French, should read this whole column before calling on bim personally, or making np their ' minds what is best for them to do. 1 he sick are so often dis- ' appointed in their search for means of relief so olten flattered by the dishonest and inspired with hopes that were never realized that it is not a matter of wonder that they have in many instances grown sick at heart and yielded to despair. Dr. French will deal honorably with all? believing that always to be the be9t policy."' His fees for treatment will be reasonable,1 and not be required from any patient until a cure is effected, and his charge for medicines will be only what they cost nim. His appointment are as follows: SEW Y011K CITY, the first day of each f -- r iilaukihia, FKNN., the second day -oTeacfe month. :;- . - :t "'- 3i '" bau i imube, UAniLAi L7, tne tnird day , ; WASHINGTON, D C, the' fourth day o each month.- v-..-.--j:.'! : . -i. v: PITTSBURGH, PENN, the sixth day of each month. . , ' CLEVELAND, OHIO, the seventh' day of each ranth..

Y. day of each month. on the twenty-sixtb OCTThe names of the hotels at which Dr. French will stop while visiting the foregoing cities nave not oeen inserted because he must necessarily change them from time to time. x The omission is unimportant, however, aa all ' patients are required to write him a letter before coming to see him and in his reply the name of the Hotel will be given. See the article below ' headed 'Waste of Time.'J Dr. F.'s object in making the foregoing visits is to afford all parsons a less expensive means ' of treatment than if they were compelled to travel man v hundreds of mil t WASTE OF TIME. : t . There are only about thbrk-fifths of the ca ses of chronic disease that admit of posititb and radical cube. Onehalf of the incurables can be. under favorable " circumstances, much I benefitted, and the other half only palliated. I am willing to treat any caso and do what T -can for it, but it so happens that a very largo iiumoer ot iuose paueois wuuse complaints cannot be wholly eradicated do not wish to under co treatment. Now as my time at each ooint I visit is all needed in examining and treating the ' (.'C8ABI.& cases it, would oe a waste of time for ?nA ta lifKtnw mv &t.rintinn nnnn tliAj.
