MIQN&1MERI0AK
The FinnncinI Sj'stom A Popular View
Our BniiUo.
To the Editor of the Evening Post :
The greatest financial blunder we have
made iu all our .troubles is, doubtless, the;
tegal-tcnder act. 'Had it never been passed;
had the Government simply paid all it
coulu, and given promises to pay for the
liabilities, u could not meet, lunding its
debt at the market rates of interest from
time to time, it is easy to see that our na
tional debt -would" now be far less than it Is ;
that the whole business, of the country would
be on a sounder basis ; and that our national
honor would be higher and purer before the
prld.
The next blunder in magnitude and in its
evil effects is our national banking Bystem.
This is so directly opposed to the true in
terests of the country, in so many -and fo ob
vious ways, that it is difficult to speak of it
in measured language ; yet it was doubtless
founded by one of the ablest of our states
men and jurists r a man personally of pure
character, and eminently adapted, to the
higher position he 'now holds,-though his
failure was so complete and so sad, as Sec
retarv of the Treasury, that history will
probably do but imperfect justice to his
powers.
Now iei 'tis suppose" thaTT instead of this,v
tne Uovcrnnient liart lssucu additional
greenbacks to the extent of this bank cir
culation. "We should thin have borrowed.
mlhout interest, the three . hundred millions
on' which we now pa v coin interest to the'
banks, saving some eighteen millions in
coin to the Treasury per annum. And be
sides, wo should have depreciated our cur
rency far less than by the banking system.
Thus such an issue of greenbacks, though a
desperate measure, and productive of the
evils which we have already considered,
would have been far better than that of our
present "national currency."
The only plausible argument in its favor
is that so harped on by official papers, that
it produced a hiarket for our bonds. And
so it did, to the extent of the three hundred
millions in question. c have seen, how-'
ever, that it would have been simple and
less injurious to business and to our national
credit, to borrow thismioney without interest,
by issuing greenbacks than by borrowing it
at high rates of interest and still inflating the
currency as much as if we paid more. Tho
simple statement of the question is this:
Tho Government, having to borrow, stands
in dread of two evils; if it issues currency,
its credit suffers by inflation and the rise bf
gold ; if it sells bonds at the market rate, its
credit suffers clucllv by the lieavr interest it
has to pay, and, temporarily, by the exces
sive supply of the bonds in the market. Now
the new banking system is most ingeniously
contrived, so a? to combine in full all the
evils of both methods. "Wc borrow the sum
needed, and at once both increase our interest
dues as much as if wc sold the bonds alone ;
and inflate the currency as much as if we
only issued greenbacks.
Hut the wrong done to our needy ireasury
is but the beginning of evils in the system.
AVe sec now what we ought to have seen in
the beginning', that these banks arethenurses
of all speculation,, and the bane of all sober
business. Ihcv feed and stir the liery de
sires of all classes for excessive and impos
sible profits. They arc thus doing more
than the direct issues of the Treasury them
selves to make a faro bank trade, and to
demoralize the industry of the nation. But
all objections to them may be summed up in
one word they are(is. There is no truth
in them. Their issues aro promises to pay;
they arc redeemable in promises to pay of an
insolvent Government; and the boasted se
curity for their redemption is the deposit of
other promises to pay of the same Govern
ment. It is a hollow edifice of credit poised
on nothing. How long can it stand?
Consider the luturc of these banks, llio
present, suspension--of payments by the
nation must end in one of the two tilings, re?
sumption of payments or utter bankruptcy.
In the latter case it is plain that
the banks arc gone. Their capital is in
bonds, which become worthless. Their
circulation is irredeemable. Other proper
ty, such as real estate, railroad or mining
stocks, good? of all kinds, &c, remains of
value ; the capital invested in these banks
becomes nothing. Hut suppose the Govern
ment to surmount its difficulties and to pay
its debts. The first step must be to bring
the currency near to a specie stondard, and
any attempt to do this necessarily precipi
tates the price, in Currency, of the bonds,
which arc the capital of these banks and se
cure their circulation. If, then, in order to
pay ofl"this circulation, the" bonds arc offered
lor sale, this will only hasten their decline.
Thus every step of the Treasury toward re
sumption of payments tends to destroy the
security of these issues and impair their val
ue. And any near approximation to a specie
basis, within many yers, would doubtless
sweep away a majority of the national banks
of thq country. I have yet to hear of one of
them (save a few m Has city winch nave
been forced into the system against their
will) that is making preparations to hieet
the threatened storm, by anchoring itself up
on a large accumulation of real money or
its equivalent.
iNoris tins all. It is impossible that a
currency like this should obtain the confi
dence of the people so f.:lly as that issued
by the "Government. And as this is not a
legal tender, the least beginning oi distrust,
in . the community would drive home these
notes, demanding redemption in greenbacks.
Such a movement as this, once begun, would
3o apt to result in decided panic; and espe
cially so if the Ireasury should attempt to
;arry out its measures of contraction, and
i;o make greenbacks scarce. And how could
tile banks obtain the greenbacks to redeem
their bills ? .Not by drnwing on one anoth
er, since all would need them alike. Only,
then, by the sale in open market, of their
.bonus. A panic of this kind woilld speedi
ly force upon the market enough of these
bonds to terrify other holders, and produce
a great fall in their price. It is well known
that the price ot Uovcrnnient bonus lias
more than once fallen two per centum in as
many days from sales by banks on which
the Government has drawn for its balances.
This is but a symptom of the fall we arc in
danger of, which must occur so soon as the
public distrust which the system deserves is
directed toward these banks.
This leads as directly to the most iniqui
tous part of the. system, in practice, tliat
which makes these banks depositaries, of
public money. An average sum ol certainly
not less than thirty millions, the property of
the United States, lies continually in these
hanks as a part of the "deposits," on which
they, do business. ThcV loan this money
and make dividends of the interest ; they
redeepi their notes, sustain, their credit, and
make their .profits by the use of it ; while
the poor and failing Treasury is paying eight
and- threc-quartcra per cent, interest (six
per cent in gold) to its creditors for the use
of it ; nay? while the Government is post
poning millions of its obligations, in order
to avoid a seeming ipcrcasc of iti debt, and
while the patriot BOldier 13 waiting hall
naked and the hero's widow Btarying for
want of the long-earned pittance it is so un
ready to pay.
The Treasury dares n6t" draw out theso
balances, lest by so doing it .not only lower
the price of its bonds, and make insecure
the whole bank circulation, but nlso malm
monoy scarce and interest high: for the
Treasury itself is now a liimk of deposit on
a large scale, and has received from the peo
ple a hundred millions of dollars in interest,
to be refunded on ten day's notice. The
Treasury cannot legally pay more than x
pcr cent on these deposits ; and if money is
made much more valuable than this, it is
rapidly drawn, out for more profitable use.
But it is simply impossible to pay off these
deposits j the Treasury has no resources for
meeting more than one-half of them, and
that only by increasihf its issues of green
backs to the utmost limits allowed bylaw for
this purpose. It is, therefore, at the mercy
of the money market, and until these de
posits are paid, cannot siTord to permit high
rates of interest in Wall street ; it cannot
afford to collect money from its own depos
itaries .
Besides, the facts that these are Govern
ment banks, chief holtfera of Government
bonds, and are actually branchc of the
Treasury, in that the jublic goners lie-in
them, Ally them closely in feeling with the
officers, of the Treasury. They fl feel and

that, under .' an, contraction can take place

I can not take space to .speak of thc-almost

presentation.
From tho National Intelligencer.
An crroneousvstatemeut occurs :in ;thoarti
cle of the Philadelphia Ledger, published
in another column, under the head of "Tone
of the Independent Press ujion the Congres
sional Boll." It is reo'ted therein that Con
gress had never exercised its reserved power
under the clause of the Constitution giving
it authority to legislate concerning the
" times, places,- and manner" of choosing re
presentatives in States. A little more
than a generation since, Congress pass
ed a law, without much opposition, di
recting that States should be divided into
districts for tho choice of Congressmen. A
few States, and among them New Hamp
shire, which was at that particular time
ruled by radical Democrats of a Calhoun
tendency, resisted this law as an infringe
ment of State rights, and went on to elect
by general ticket. "Under this initiatory
lorm of rebellion against the national au
thority, Mr. John P. Hale, among others,
was first elected. But the persons so elected
were given their 6cats without even therais
ing of a question, we think, as to the legal
ity of their election, so strong was the feel
ing in those da3's for the undisputed right of
representation by a people who were the sub
jects of law and who bore the burdens of
taxation.
Another law was enacted last winter, at
the date when peace measures had been
set on foot by Mr. Lincoln, and when tho
crushing out of the rebellion seemed certain.
The thought of the legislator at the period
of the passage of the law seemed to be that
all the (hngrtustonal dittricts troiiM be tpeedily
represented, because the act provides against
military interference (in manner specified)
in any of the tbn7rsion(U districts of the
United stales.
The clause of the apportionment acf under
the census of 1840 recites that the members
of the House of Representatives shall ho
elected by districts, composed of contiguous
territory, equal- in number to the number
of representatives to which the State is
entitled, and no districts shall elect two
representatives.
Ine act of 1662, which it is believed.-was
framed among other things, for recognizing
as members of the House persons who were
elected from districts in States" which were
not entirely in rebellion, is worded like the
act of 18-41.
The question then arises, whether or not a
person who claims to have been elected by
the people as a representative from one of
these districts, as provided by act of Congress,
may not claim a seat without reference to
anyStateactionorcondition? Hastherenot
been action of Congress since tho rebellion
admitting members upon the idea as above?
In respect to' elections "bfCongreisnicnl as
provided for by the Constitution of the
united btates, it is recited in that instrument
that the "Executive authority" of a State may
order an election of representatives when
vacancies' occur I
"Executive autlioritu" is the phraseology
of the Constitution, which instrument alone
can rightly control the determination of Con
gress as to'the qualification of its members.
I he Constitution recites that the qualifi
cations of electors of representatives in Con
gress shall be the same as for electors for
the most numerous branch of the State Le
gislature. Have not the men who have
been elected to such constitutional electors,
under the writs of election constitutionally
issued by the " Executive authority" in a
State, a right to scats on the floor, any mere
law of Congress, as that of 1802, to the con
trary notwithstanding
It matters not that the law of Congress for
creating single representative districts was
carried out by State Legislatures. Had they
not done so. Congress could have legislated
directlv to effect the obiect. Besides, in
law, "what one does by another, he does
himself."
But hot only have tho present Southern
representatives been elected in compliance
with the necessary initiatory legal forma un
der tho Constitution, but they come here
from districts in States formed in pursuance
of acts of Congress, and, superadded there
to, they have the endorsement of the Execu
tive authority of such States.

Shipwreck nntl I'rlvntlons of Hip Cap
tain mill Crew or the Schooner Joel
O. Sweet Four Day on mi Unliihnb
licit iKlntid.
(From tho New York Herald.
The following statement of terrible suffer
ings, exbosure and hardships endured at
sea on an uninhabited island is made by
Captain Robert Whitty, of the schooner
Joel G. Sweet Captain "Whitty is well
known in this city as a skillful navigator and
it thorough seaman, and it will be gratifying
to Ins numerous mends to learn of bis satety.
The schooner Joel G. Sweet left Charles
ton on the 19th of October for Apalachicola,
under the command of Captain Charles
Marks, Captain Wliitty being employed to
navigate the vessel to her port of destina
tion. Xothing occurred worthy of note out
side bf the ordinary routine of seafaring life
until tho 21t. of October, when they were
overtaken bv the.hurricane which, it will be
remembered, was one of the most terrific
and disastrous that ever visited our coast.
The gale continued to increase in force and
violence until the 23d, when the few remain
ing sails upon the vessel were blown away,
with the exception- of the mainsalc. which
was badly torn. About noon on that day
they sighted the land a little to the north of
Jupiter inlet, but mortiy aiterwarua ion
sight of it. All through the night the gale
continued to increase in force, with the sea
running mountains high, and the weathel
thick and rainy.
Early the next afternoon observed the
breakers to leeward, tried to keep off", but
could not. At this time they wens a few
miles to the north of Cape Canaveral. A
heavy sea came rolling over them, and swept
Captain Marks and Captain "Wliitty over
board, and at the same time the mainmast
was carried away. Captain Marks clung to
the mast and was hauled on board i but the
sail that was attached to the mast, when it
was carried away, fell oyer Captain "Whitty
ana Kept turn beneath the ware, lie in
stinctively felt fur hi knife la cut a place in
the sail, so that he mightcomoto the sarfaco
and breathe : but his knife was lost, and all
the horrors of n death by drowning were
suffered by him during the time that he rc
Eiaincd under the water. After he had
(wallowed a great deal of salt water, and
just as Be wag or- the joint of giving up all
joje of extrieatifig kuaself from his perilous
pOMtkv, tlt BUKt wad tail were lifted from
ovcr'hun by a monstrous wave, and lfcarrwil
tor tho surface, and was hauled on boont
tho vessel, -more dad than alive,
thaw who. ,hair given -himup as lost. Capv
tain Whitty had his breast badly bruiscd
and his right, hand fearfully cut by the mast.
Captain Marks had one of his ribs broken,
and Kustainod other Injuries. After cross
ing tho breakers, the vessel was driven in!
towards the beach, the waves in the :meah
while breaking clear over her. One of the
men, after repeated efforts, gained the beach
with a rope, and by that means they wcrir
all enabled to land safely. They were all so
completely exhausted that they lav down
beneath a'small palmtrec and slept ioundly,
despite the fearful storm and rolling surf,
until ten o'clock that night, when tbey were
awakened by the sea washing away the sand
hill whereon they had lain.
They had then been without food and
water for twelve hours, and hungry, drench
ed and exhausted as they were, they could ,
sleep no more that n'ght, owing to the in
undated state of the island. Cramped and
chilled, jhey were obliged to keep on their
feet all night. The storm continued all
that night and the next day with unabated
fiiry. In the morning the schooner had dis
appeared; but on searching for her, they
discovered that she had drifted through the
night about two miles further down the
beach.
Tho gale now begun to moderate, but
.thev were "unable to reach thevcarntl. Thei!?
situation was now, indeed, truly horrible.
They had had nothing to cat for nearly
three days, and their tongues were swollen
in their mouths for want of water. During
the afternoon of the second day on the
island, a barrel of biscuit was washed ashore
and these were all soaked with the. salt
water. They dug in the sand for frcihwater, .
which they soon discovered, when they im
mediately set to work and in regular Ortler
took turns in lapping up the water w,"th
their tongues. The beach was strewn with
fragments of wrecked vessels, and atone
place tliev found the bones of a man and
woman, their arms clancd tightly arouiid
each other, as they had met their death.
One of the man's legs was ofF just lclor
the knee ; it had probably been eaten ofl'br
tho sharks. On the fourth dav they had
succeeded in gathering enough lumber to
construct a .raft, and this they launched on
the lagoon that separated the narrow island
from the mainland.
Filling-a small iug, which had been wash
ed ashore, with fresh water, and taking as
many of the bisciiit with them a they could
carry, they left the island where they had
suffered so much, and that afternoon, just as
they were nearing the mainland, they were
picked up by a small schooner and carried
to Smvrna. From here, with the crew of
the schooner Harriet B. Tyler, which had
also been wreckedj thev tried to reach the
port of St. Augustine, Florida, but were unable-to
cross over the bar owing to the trc
mendoas heavy surf. They were then conw
polled to land, and had to" make their way
as best they could to the village of Enter
prise, on Lake Monroe, overland. Thoy
had scarcely shoes on their feet, but very lit
tle food, and it can easily bo imagiued that
the hardships they endured on that trip
were anything but light. When they camp
ed -at night they were surrounded with
wolves, and it was not nntil they reached
Enterprise that they really knew what rest
was. from witerpnse they proceeded to
Jacksonville, where they were kindly fur
nished with transportation to Charleston by
captain irocKcr, 01 me steamer cosmopoli
tan.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times,

from Minnesota after themassacrc of 1SC2T
They arc Sioux, and were sent here origi

gives the outlines of an event more shock

18C2, barely two hundred are now left alive I

Iu an address delivered in Jackson, Miss,,
on the 11th inst, Gen. Howard said:
"In many places, during the war. lands
were abandoned, and the Government took
possession of them, and the colored people
were allowed to work them or to lease them.
It was at one time thought the Government
would retain possession of these lands and
disjiosc of them, perhaps, to thc'colorcd peo
ple.
"The war closed much more suddenly
than any of us supposed It would, and now
Congress and the President of the United
States have decided that it is their policy to
be very lenient with the Seuthcrn States.
And now, when a man comes to mpand
shows that land held by this burcan belong
ed to him, and that ho has taken the oath,
or does not coradundernnyof the exceptions,
or has been pardoned, I at nnce restore his
land to him. There is yet dn posscsiiion of
the Government some houses, in town, and
some lands, sometimes held because the citi
zens to whom they formerly belonged have
not conformed to the Tcquirements of the
Government The impression prevails among
many of the colored pooplcthat the Govern
ment meansto give this land to them, which
i.s a very wrong and injurious impression.
"I feel that! am an agcnl under one of
Uic stfongct Governments under Jleaven,
aiOAlcn the Government gives a jdedge it
means to keep it
"I have aid that the Government was
weak bccaMC its agents were acting frtim im
proper motives, but there is a very large
body of men, comprising two-third of the
people of the United States, who have been
sincere from the first, and if our Govern
ment is weak, it is because of corruption.
Its strength is in its truth and its right.
"I am reminded of a remark of -General
Sherman, in which he said, ' war is cruelty.'
The cvila in the country have grown out of
war, and for God's sake, let us have no more
of it I don't eee a poor maimed soldier1

over, and let us manifest no moieof the war
spirit. Every act of injustice by" the black
man Or the wlate man, .manifests a disposi

strongly deprecate.
"it is plain to mcthat the colored people
have lost much confidence in their former
masters and in owners of property, and suf

"If the owners of (he soil lose confidence5
in the black man. then society will be cogf

worse than war itself.

abducted by a woman supposed to be her
mother. The circumstances are these. . About
eight years ago the child, then an infant,
was found one morning in a kisket in the
doorsteps of a gentleman's rcsidei'ce in Wa
tcrbury. left thcre it is suppojcd, by the mo-
thcr, who took this way to hide the evidence
of her dishonor. Tho child was cnt to the
toor house, then i-'i charge of Ml. Hanson's
irothcr, who rccammended lum )a adopt it,
which lie did itt the Usual legal form. A few
days ago a woman, supposed to be the child's
mother, called upon Mr. Hanson's wife, and
wished to take the child to a photograph
gallery and have a picture of her, but as jio
one could go with it then, she was refused.
A vigilant search has been made for it, but
no clue of its whereabouts have yet been ob
tained. It is supposed that the mother found
the child in the street and enticed it off with
her. The little child was much loved in
Mr. Hanson's family, and its absence is
deeply felt.

From tho Now York Kvoulnir Poit7 "
The gradual diminution of the " water
fall," which Iicgan several month? ago, was
thought by some tiersons to indicate that
that curious so-called ornament of fhc head
'would be immediately expelled from fash
ionable society. But there aro still many
advocates of the waterfall, and the strong
argument advanced in its defeno is, that
tho form of the winter bonnet requires the
dressing of the hair after tho waterfall plan,
in some of its modification; and it less ef
fective and more comprehensive statement
is, that the neck would be much exposed If
the fashion were abolished.
There are several other acceptable tyei
of dressing the hair, some of tii-iin of' ex
cellent design; persons of tho mpst varied
tastes may be suited in all save one respect
