gives the following statistics of the rebel cur

Tho depiction of the Confoderato currency
under the recent legislation la much greater
thtn Is generally supposed! and In this con
nectlon It will bo interesting to refer to well
established figures. Thoentlre Issue of the old
circulation wo may tako at S800,000,000. The
number of ono hundred dollar bills in elrcnla.
tlon has bocn about 1230,000,000. or leaser
denomination that will bo funded thve are,
at least, say i-W.lxw.ooo. Deduct now the
300,000,000 funded, andwahavethOO.OOO.OOO.
This, reduced by tho discount of thlrty-threo
and one third per cent., will, In round nam
bar, leave us (330,000.001).
Tho tax levied ror 1801 is estimated consld
crablyabovo f 100,000,000. There being only
r 350,000,000 funded in four per cents, it follows
that 1 1 00,000.000 of currency nimt be used in
addition to the above for the payment nf the
taxes for 1884, which will still further reduce
tho circulating medium to !30,000,000. From
tho last named sum thero mast bo subtracted
tho amount reqa'rcd to pay the additional
taxea imposed by tho Isto Congress on the in
come tax of 1SS3, as well as some portion of
tho old taxca that will not bo paid oa the flrst
of April, 1801. The circulation would thus be
reduced to ISOO.OOO.OOO, without reference to
tho manufacture and emission of more paper
money.
Bat hero comes up the important ncstlon ol
tho new Issue, which Involves the vitality of
the whole scheme. The first Interpretation of
tho currency act was, thst It denied power to
tho Secretary of the Trea.ury to lssuo one dol
lar notes except In exchange for tho present
currency at tho rato of two dollars of tho new
for three dollars or the old, which may remain
untunaoa on tne Ul ot April, uthers construo
the act to empower the Secretary of the Treas
ury to Issue two dollars or the now lasuo ror
threo dollars of tho old, whether funded or un
fundedwhether exchanged or paid In for
taxes.
The latter construction la said to bo favorud
by Mr. Mommlogcr, namelyi that ho la author
lzcd to Issue new notes to tho amount of to-
thirds of the whole of the old Issue. In other
words, supposing tho old notes In circulation
amounted to 300,000,000 on the first or April,
the Secretary or tho Treasury la empowered to
lesuo tno-thlrds or this amount that Is,
503,333,332 affording a supply to the Treas
ury for about eight months, Irrespective or tho
sum that may bo raised by the sale or six pur
cent bonds.
