Such is the stufl'dispensed in leiu of the
Gospel by
of the church
t'oult circles of Washington
the occupant of tho pulpit
ch that is patronised by the
,,. of Washington.
A correspondent, writing from
Washington, says : "Tho chief feuturo
of the message, as tho Executive up to
this time has revolved it over in his
own mind, is tho financial question.
lu regard to this, in a conversation ro-
cently, in the presence of ex-Attorney
General B. II. Brewster, of lYniisylvft-
nia. who was seated with tho President
in conversation in tho Into red parlor,
whoro your correspondent was also ad-
tnittod, tho President stated that ho
bad several important reoonimenda-
lions to muK.e to congress on iinanciai
matters ; ono was to give more extend
ed powers to theSocretury of the Trim
ury in tluj liquidation of the debt, and
not to confine it to a certain amount
or, at least, not to bo biiuiII amount per
annum. Another wiu toallow the tax
bills to remain unchanged for another
vear, so as to bo certain of aiargo rcY
enue, which will work great results
that time, tulten in connection with
tho progress already attained. A third
proposition ho mentioned was in rela
tion to funding tho debt at a lower rate
of interest. This tho President con
idered extremely neoessary, and
hould be carried out at tho earliest
tnomcnt, as tho Government was pay
ing entirely too much interest I
Tho last point mentioned was
f puedy resumption of specio payment.
He thought this would put an end
the infamous operations in gold specu
lators, aud, by putting a stop lo fluctu
ations, would strcngthmi tho indubtrics
of tho country and restore greater con
tideucc and unparalleled prosperity
iy Tho organs of tho bondholders
are very assiduous just now in trying
to demonstrate that greenbacks are
constitutional merely tho growth ol
war necessity ; also, that nothing is
can be money but gold and silver. 11
bll well enough to teach othcnviso
when legal tenders, woith but sixty
cents on tho gold dollar, were rcceivod
by tho Government in exchange for
bonds at par, but it ia now claimed
Government agreed to pay nuo hun-
drod gold dollars for one hundred
gal tender dollars. The argument,
either case, was, and is, for tho bond
holders against tlio people. It is much
like tho caso of tho white man and
Indian who hunted in partnership.
When it came to divide tho spoils,
' tuikcy wosn t said onco to the
diau. If tho people nro satislied
tho arrangement, wo don't know that
wo should complain, further than it
may affect un fiernonally. If it tuuti the
people to he hewers of wood and draw
ers of water for a privi'nped clans, w hen
it Is not "bo nominated in the bond,"
why so ho it. They will not lie tho first
in tho history of tho world that chose
Isnaehar for their model
"Issacharis a strong ass, couching
down between two burdens :
And ho saw that rent was good, and i
the ftind that it was pleasant ; and ho
bowed hi shoulder to bear, and became
ft servant unto tribute."
3-"()nco'on a time," as theoldsto-
lies go, a Cabinet officer at Washing-
ton addressed to a subordinate at Mo-
bile tho query : "Mow far does the
Tombigbee Kiver run up ?" and these
wero all the words of his letter, except
address and signature. To which tho
subordinate, with more truth and bro-
vity than poli'cncss, responded : "Sir,
Tho Tombigbec docs not run up at all."

CONCERNING THE REMOVAL
OF THE CAPITOL.
On tho qmtion of romoving the
tho Capitol of tbo Unitod States
from its present location to somo
portion of tho West, a" is being ur
ged by numbci-8 of Western Journ
als, t!io Pittsburg Tost, of Nov. 20,
contains tho following scnsiblo edi
torial :
T'.iernaro two subjects upon which,
happily, newspaper writers can in
variably full back in theso iM'.tor
days, namely : tho Byron-Stowo
scandal,' and removal of tho Capi
tol. The latter is becoming the po
riodical subject of newspaper dm.
cunsion. And, cn pftpsant, the pub-
ject ma3 not bo without grounds of
conmderu ion. It may bo enquired:
. First Docs there exist any iw-
to
to
a
of
of
tho
i
cessily for tho removal t
Second ill too people of the
United Slutes be benefitted thereby?
Third W ill its removal mnuro to
the individual benefit of any person
or persons
Tho first question may bo asked
negatively, in our opinion. We have
so tar failed lo see tho force of any
oftlio iirttimcnls advanced in faor
of tho proposed removal. It is r.ol
an argumei.t against Washington
City, Unit il is neither n commercial
emporium nor u geographic center.
As wo said in the former nrl'clo, ge
ographical centers, in tho light of
travel, nro mere myths in this day
of rnilroiuls. Wo mcasuro distance
!) timo rathe1' than lineally. In
s'cad of being so many miles from
any given point, wo lire so many
boms or iu;nutcs distant. Wo can,
at pivneht, conceive no instance in
which tho differoiico of a few hours
;ir minutes in the arrival of Con
gressmen and government ollii iuls
ul the scat of government, or among
their constituencies, would havouny
marked political significance.
Tin t Washington in not a com.
incixial emporium, and never can
bo by virtue of any commercial or
political ni'italicns, we coi.sidor an
incontrovertible argumept in its fa
vor. The corrupt influenco of
cliques and rings will bo limited in
proportion to the iiaturo of surroun
ding circiiniHtances, for money
tvorks both for irood and evil by
closvt contact rather than from a
ilMtiiiK-c. As far as the irifluonco
of treat moneyed or commercial
combinations is concerned, it would
bo fur bettor lo locate tho national
capitol on Iho opex of Pike's Peak,
or in the mulsl of tho iirent Amer
ican Desert. With the capitol loca
ted in somo grout commercial em
porium, instead of tho government
lookini; aitor the interests ol com
iiu-rco, as somo suggest, moneyed
combinations would control the
