Long in advance of tbo boor of mopllng tbo

placc-t-eckeie, ana as each Commissioner came
iu bo noa followed by a balf-dozou or more of
blu constituents, wbo wore pouring into bis

pant eon-ices at ibo polls, and in tbo
oibcr their individual needs or tbo trouts of
their equally zealous partisan friends. Escli
hanger-on Eoenicd to bo pOßde.wcd of tbs idea
ilint - tho ofilco of Oummiflstoacr was nothing
more nor ]e*R tbnn that of a distributor of
places’of profit and trusi, and from ibo porflmt*
enco with which they pressed their claims and
bung to tbo luilou-bolcs of their ro*puclivu
members, ovidontly thought that a sunp of tho
linger would win them into whatever
liicy sought nr desired. It was really
a pitiable eight to witnccs tbo ona’augbt
made b? (ho bummov-elcmout, especially upon
tbo cow members. Several of them bad never

(bo attention dior.rml upon tliom at first stimu
lated their nclf-iinportanco and ccneoit, and
mngntili-d thoir powers to such adogroo as to
cause (hem to make mam' promises tint upon
second thought they mil realize they cannot ful
fill. Many of the premises may baro peon
made, and doulHlccn were, to get rid
of their adherents ond admirers, but It
was not ho in nil eases, especially with
that larco class r.ho brought with them petitions
of ono or another to bo signed, and who
won ri not boron their hold upon tbo skirts of

Mr. Schmidt wanted an opinion from the

promptly luruisbed, to the etfect that ho line*
nothing of a*fitntnlo requiring n commisMou

Mr. Holden wanted the place, but his conrnu

the place, hm uu one could bo found so pliable
as Mr. Johnson, htmeu his election without oppo

of bis election under the ciicinnbtapcoe. but tho
fact that all of the new members voted lor him.
and seemed to have no other preference, will bo
received by the publiu with surprise. On tho
part of eorae their conduct can be attributed to
no other cause than an inuato aunpmliy fur
what is known as the “ Ripg.” while ou tho \ art
of others it is said tbelr action was a matter of
policy, and that they voted aa Ihov did in tbo

inspltoof this advemo and pernicious legisla

Bnmpuon. brohorß did exchange gold for it as high
as fid to 00 cents on tbo dollar, but which, for
some Inscrutable reteou, after the nnssago of

Tills waMicr, then, raiber tends to weaken Tnr.
TnmuMt's theory, Hint, without a future cur
tuiiily, "no biokcr will redeem tho paper at ail.”
If the Govommodt will receive tbo groonback-i
for import duties, it will eo multiply tm uses of
that money that it will appreciate in exchange
value, oud canuot fail to reach par; since, if tbo
Government monopolizes the Issuing of money,
as it ought, tbo biub* would much prefer tbo Gov
ernment paper to coin, as more facilitating lo
business. Gold, tbon. taking tbs multitudinous
mixture of coins of .ho various portions of tbo
world, and reducing tbom all to tbo AmeiicAu
standard dollar, as a means of pa* mo.it over
bnuU counters and exchange, would present so.
many diawbaeUn that logal-tondere/as a legal
toudor for all dues, would bo no much inoro de
sirable tbev would bo at par and easily exchange
able into gold at a small fraction of 1 per cent.
The Tntmrsr (I bopo in no offensive sense)
applies the epithet *• faction” to tbo Independ
ents. Webster quotes Ames as authority for tho
declaration that " a feeble Government produces
more factions than so optroadvo ono:"aod also
quotes James Madiaon, in tho Federalist, as the
author of this definition : “lira faction 1 under
stand a unmber of citizens, whether amounting
to a minority or a majority of tuo whole, who aro
united, and actuated bv oomo coraroou impulse
of passion or of interest, adrcr.ir to (he rights of

It would bo difllcult to Bhow that tho ludc

it cau be shown that tho banUcnbave »n inaiico

Tho baniu, on tbo ono hand, demand all this ;
whtlo tbo Indopeodents, on tbo other, dispute
their claim to tbs birthright- Who, then, aro tbo
taclioaints '< Certainly nut tbo Independents.
The Tiudche asserts that tho ludopoudonta
“wii»h” to "disclaim'* all intent of specia-ro
dompiion. This is wholly an assumption, tio
fares lam (.oisonally aequaintod, all the imlo
pendents aro in favor of apocie-rodomption by
tuo Government. Not tbo Bborman-bill sort of
redemption, which would tax tbo nation to its
utmost to boirow 6J60.0JU.000 in gold, give tho
banks time enough to collect all the greenbacks
in Wall street, and thou redeem solely fur tho
behoof of tbo bankers, cremate tbo legal tend
ers. and leave the “dear peonlo *’ to fall back on
augmented, irredeemable National cmrcncy, as
their ehare of tho fiscal inheritance; but to
bare tbo Government par Bfiecio fur its own
notes whenever presented, and to pav them
out again. This is what tbo Indopeud
onto understand by a redeemable cuirencr.
I know that doubts exist of the ability of
tbo Government to float bo largo a volume as
that of tbo greenbacks and National currency
combined (which Is all tbev demand, -not a
dollor for Inflation); but. when wo corn© to con
uioor Kellopg’n review of tho baloyon days of
specie pavtuonls, from 1848 to 18i»h, under tho
best system of banking we bad over Indulged in,
and bud (bat tho maximum average of specie
redemption did not exceed 1 ner cent; nnd eiuco
no one suspects thcro would over boa "run”
on tbo Government, for runs come of local
causes and foara.—wo raav bo tolerably aafo in
demanding that tbo Government shall, in tbo
Bonso proposed, enter upon epncio-paymontß at
ouco ; and I have no doubt, wbeu tbo National
Independent Convention assembles at Indian
apuliv, it will eml-ody ibis demand in its plat
form, at least as a tost trial.
As cue means towaida bringing tho green
backs to par with gold, tlio Independents insist
that tho Government fhall cease Jockeying ith
Gold-Room gamblers by refusing m tliu most
important sense to receive its own paper for iU
claims upon citizens, ami tints discrediting its
o*a notes to that extent; and they farther do
maud that the Government shall cease aiding
the gold-gamblers, and indicting moat foul in
jury on the people's commerce, credit, and in
terest. by purchasing Us own obligations at a
discount,—thus giving the Gold-Room the ad
vantage of this poiuiu.oiia practice, which wonld
dishonor oven the effete Government of the
Grecian Archipelago.
Let too Government stop this nnfinanpal
habit.—let it receive us own notes for oil duos,
—and it mil, io (bo opinion of all Independents,
step all recourse to the GoM-lloom. and practi
cally bring its own paper to par, and thou wo
may obtain coin for pajicr, without objectionable
or rumens shaves.
Tho Comptroller of tho Currency. Jo summing
un tho blessings of the National Hanks, snvs that,
out of tho thirty-oignt that hare broken, the
people have lost but $3,985,<U10. He does not
toll us that tho people have lost one penuy by
greenback*, aside fiom common depreciation,
which has boon equal with that of tho National

noloi of the broken banks.—Lo.J
lam without data, or oven estimate, of Tun
TuinuNE’w mode of reaching a epocio-standnrd
for tho National uotes. 1 know of but one legal
propuau.au before the country looking to spoolc
payments, and that Is tho Sherman bill of 1»75.
Hut Tux Tridonu of Nov. k 3, alt., totally ignores
that by declaring: ‘‘Moreover, that act of
1875 was the most innocuous pjoco of legislation
that Congress ever perpetrated. It had no
point—no aim ; nml has been utioily barren of
retuiifl. . . . The lepoal of tho Shcnuon
bill would repeal nothing having any legal force
or operation.
Wmlo I moot heartily concur with Tiik Tr.tn-
DK»‘ in the uscltanncas of the S&ertson bill. I
cannot agree that it is, or will be (if permitted to
live), bsiren of rouulis. On tho other hand, I
behove it to bo one of the most stupendous
moans of legalized robbery yet invented ; aud wo
have only t» loos at the current nows ami facts
of (he day, as elm sic ed iu tho columns of Tub
Tninuse, toseo that tho sebome is beginning to
boar its fruit.— bitter to tbo linancial palates of
tho people, though a sweet morsel to tbo haulier.
As before stated, the bill jrnvidea tba- gdd
Hindi bo paid for redemption of greenbacks, at
tho ottioo or tbo Assistant Treasurer in AVw
i’orflr, after Jan. 1,1'71). Tlio bankers thus have
ample time to scud out their drag-nns and
glean up all iho gietnbaeka bofuru that dace;
and are they not doing it now ? Tub C'uicauo
Tjuuune or the Hist ul .contained a statement of
sundry Western banks, aud 1 noticed among
ibclr cusoU were rU,7U0,4tt3.08 of groanbacks
and fractional*, while the same banks held only
$1,845,1154 m National currency. Now, tips
shows that the banks either are collecting tho
greenbacks already, preparatory to the coming
of the gospel of redemption aud cremation iu
New York; or they believe tho greenbacks de
cidedly the beat currency,—in which cfso tho
people ought to agree with them, and make the
substitution at once.
Now. tl the banka coo obtain the *333,000,000
of greenbacks aed fractionaie at 15 per ceut dis
count tioa gold, and sell them to the people fur
gold at par, they will clear £57,000.0.10 by the
operation ; and, under Mr. Madinon’s definition,
wtucii would leihe faotiouists: the banka, tor
demaudiog this clear gift, or the people (who
must sweat it out by labor) for opposing the
