THE LOAN It 1 1. 1..
To OTerp cltlion of tblat cimntry who li
needlessly paying fictitious prices for tbe
necofiitlei of life, u well as .very one whole
patriotism deiired that tbo promise to pnp
recorded on the face of onr currency, sboald
no longer represent a "national falsehood,"
the defeat of tbe Loan Hill In the lower
House, a fow djs since, was cause of lin
oero regret.
Wo saw with satisfaction that the recon
sideration of tbe rote adrerso to the bill was
carried at tbe succeeding legislative dajr.
and the matter recommitted to the very in
telligent Cotumlttee of Ware and ileum,
which will practically report back the same
bill.
Tbe earliest possible return to a hard
xnonej basis is tbo great controlling over
shadowing want and necessity of tbo present
time. That Is something which ooncerns
every person in America. It is ot more im
mediate consequence than constitutional
amendments, reconstruction schemes. Trench
expositions, or suffrage Utopias. The cloth
ing we wear on our backs, the food we put
Into our mouths, tho tool with which the me
cbanio earns his dally stipend, tho Imple
ment! with whloh the farmer tills tbe soil,
the unnumbered articles for which we are
called npon to pay In tho eiperlenco of
very-day life, clamor for tbo "good time
coming" when a greenback shall procuro as
much as a gold dollar. For months wo have
boen wailing to have Congress assist tbe
financial Chief of the country in his humane
and desirable purpose.
The loan bill proposed to make Mr. JIc.
Cl'LLOCH absolute master of tbo inanoi.il
situation, by giving him authority to borrow
money where be pleased, and retire either
currrency or notes, interest-bearlng, at his
option. The authority to go into L'uropesn
markets for the purpose of funding has been
stricken from the bill, and to this wo do not
object. We prefer to bare European capital
come after our scourities rather than for us
to go in search of their money.
From what w learn of tbo temper of the
House, it will restrict the Secretary of tbo
Treasury in the matter of withdrawal, com.
Veiling him to call in tbe Interest-bearing
notes before contracting the currency. Ab
tho Secretary would in all likelihood do this,
oven If he had discretionary power, it will
not In reality affect his policy, although we
should have preferred him to command tbe
entire position
Tee final action of Congress will bo mainly
with the Secretary In his Intention to make
our currency worth a hundred cents on tbe
dollar, and that Is what the people desire.
The reasons urged in the discussion of this
bill, In opposition to resumption of the specie
sianuaru, are worm a moment's notice It
was argued by many that ruin and bank,
rnptcy would ensue from such a course. This
oomes principally from 'he holders of goods
bought at inflated prices, which thoy must
sell at high rates or lose, and from tbe banks
holding tho paper of the speculators, and
merchant who hate Invested inincrchandlso
with gold above 30 per cent., and must suffer
severely as gold goes down. That it would
temporarily affect such persons anl In
stitutions cannot bo denied, but It is an
event that must come sooner or later, and
wa think tho sooner tbe better. Sonio
oi tn uiembers opposed tho measure
on tho ground that It was part of
tbe Presidential policy, but such antagonism
was too Insignificant in numbers and too
moan in spirit to receive any more consider
ation than a mere mention of tho fact
M
Otters, an & among th.m w. wr iarprlid
to iff a ftentltman or great lntelllganc., tho
Hon. Mr. Doutwill, of Massachusetts,' ei
pressed (ban of Ihe' tremendous power, that
tbe loan bill placed In the hands of the Sec
retary. ,We da not'thlnk then txlsls any
great causa of atann In this direction. Tho
Integrity of Mr. McCclloch la hardly to bo
Impeached, and his skill and wisdom In man
aging our finances is attested by the In
creased value of our securities abroad, and
the sinking tsndency of gold at home.

President Jomxo li undoubtedly Major
Gen. Howard's superior in rank, by rlrtue
of his office ai Commander-in-chief, and It
occurs to us that upon examining "Tfte
Right TCny" he would, as an honorable offl
cerand gentleman, retract his promise to ex
tend the circulation of that paper through
"the agency of the Freedmens Bureau." In
an article tn a recent Issue, headed "The
Nation's Disappointment," we find the fol
lowing paliage:
"And It seems to us that wo do not eo a
itep beyond the Uneof ecmpttloite aetnracy,
when we say that, with one exception, no
disappointment of the American people In a
man whom they had trotted has ever com
pared with this. Tbe word 'Tyler! it riff' has
been repeatedly used. But the defection of
that aecldental President since an open
traitor from the principles of those who
elected mm, baring reference chiefly to Bnan
clal affairs, irai ofittzht comeqttenee in rom-
pari$on with this recent betrayal of (A lienor
and sfjtty of the nation.'1
In another article In the same sheet we
find the following:
To sum up, what are the dangers that con
front the nation?
A President doggedly perverse, boldly de
fiant, ambition-Inspired, deliberately, obstt
nately determined to execute hit Individual
will.
A Coneress divided within Itself and de
bating what to do, while tho President and
his Southern satellites are doiiis and Jiave
done.
A Cabinet strongly snell-bound under tho
power of tbe e.ll conlui of the Lincoln Ad-
.mlnlstratlon, who by a few strokes of hU pen
can piunge me country into a foreign war, it
neoaea to ruin toe country, mo Treasury
controlled by an officer In full political fel
lowship with tbe President The Fecretary
of the Navy "gone over." The Secretary
of War where he cannot be Identified. The
Secretary of the Interior and the Attorney
General outvoted."
And from another "discontented paper," In
the same number of Th Right iVay'vre
clip this:
"Another danger threatens How easy It
Is for Mr. Johnson, through bis wily Secre
tary of State, to glre secret aid and comfort
to the Fenians, exacting from their leaders
a pledge that they will help htm in hU efforts
to restore the Union. What more would the
Fenians desire than to bavo Mr. Seward so
disregard neutrality obligations, that Eng
land, in honor bound, would feel obliged to
declare war against tbe United State7 And
Mr. Seward more than any other official
knows that a foreign war would place the
North at tbe mercy cf the South. Has Mr.
Seward the will to do tbls? lie wilt need
watching more now than ever.
"Months may olnpse before the storm
bursts; but If It does, tbo North will be not
merely between two fires, but surrounded by
tiros, a Confederate army tn the South, a
Fenian army of 50,000 to 100,000 on the
North, with an English war confronting it,
and the secret enmity of the French usurper
seeking to destroy our nationality."
Is that kind of lunacy calculated to "re
construct" tbe South, and will Gen. How
ard cbnttnue to distribute such diatribes
ngalnst not only the President, but the Cab
inet, through tbe agency of his Bureau?
Will notGen Grant's censorship of journals
that attempt to inflame discord between the
North and South apply to such a caio ? We
think, on a careful perusal of " The Right
iry," Gen. Howard will oonoludo that it
is his duty to either withdraw his agency Id
disseminating it through the South, or resign
his com mlmon.
Freed m eufa Affair lit North Carollim
Tho Assistant Commissioner of freedmen's
affairs for the State of North Carolina re
ports to Major General O. O. Howard, date
of Ilalelgh, March 16, that a very slow Im
provement In tbe affairs of the freedmen of
that State Is manifest. But few cases of
violent outrages are reported, but instances
of petty annoyance and Interference with
the Industry and enterprise of freedmen,
who are trying to do well, aro numerous;
their horses nnd mules are stolen; their
fences torn down; their pigs killed, and their
arms taken away. Tbe Assistant Commis
sioner says that tho perpetrators of such
mean acta can rarely be detected, and when
dotocted, It Is not an easy matter to bring
them to jUEtitm.
The freedmen of tbe State are not yet free
from apprehension that their liberty will
proebut a dream. They seo so muoh Ill
feeling exhibited towards them, nnd hear eo
often that they aro on inferior race, and must
always expect to be that, that tbey are
afraid to trust tbe white people. The As
slitant Commluioner thinks that oould the
freedmen be sure of full protection every
where, they would exert themselves more
earnestly to acquire property and improve
their condltlou; and notwithstanding all the
dUcoumgements under which tbey labor, the
Assistant Commlssionerstates tho re are many
cnoering signs ot progress.

Kb ass. Mrs. Keax aa Portia did well; but
there was nothing extraordinary or wonder
fnl in her acting. Say lock who as a cbnr
acter has done more to fix the opinions and
Ideas of the world concerning the Iiraolitlih
race than even their own historywas su
perbly rendered by Crarlks Keak. It was
acting, but It was great acting, and present-
ed tho noted Jew ns SnAursARE wrote of
htm. We do not remember to have ever seen
a finer representation of what we conceive to
havo been tbe purpose of the great master In
creating Sutlock, thanKEAif's performance
last night.
To-night we have "Louis XI," considered
by many to be this actor's best part.

Tub Publisher's Circular reports that

Ticknor A Fields, Boston, have ordered 6,000
reams in London. It has been estimated that
at present prices good book and news pnpor
can be delivered In New York, all duties and
expenses included, at threo quarters the price
of Amerloon paper of the same grade. An
other estimate makes tbe difference in favor
of " foreign paper ten per cent. Instead of
twenty-five per cent." It Is certainly de
monstrated that paper can be Imported at
cheaper rates than our paper-makers are de
manding. Mr. Bennett, of the "New York

news paper at fifteen cents porpound.wbereas

A West Virqisia Claim'. ome time ago
a citizen of West Virginia petitioned the
Senate to Indemnify blm for the loss of bis
printing oflloe at Ravenswood, valued nt
threo thousand dollars, dostroyed by tho
rebels tn 1SC2. It appeared from the report
that the petitioner did bis duty manfully,
and assisted In the defence of hts country,
but In this the Committee of Claims say he
did no more than his duty ns a cltizon and a
patriot, that the Government has never rec
ognized a liability for claims of this cbarao
ter, or considered a citizen entitled to re
ward for doing a service which hts duty and
loyalty compelled htm to perform. His lia
bilities and, risks were the same that pertain
to overy one who loves his country and Is
loyal to her. His place and situation de
mand a sacrifice, and he performed his duty
and met bis I owes at the hands of a lawless
horde of rebels. Tbe committee add. "Wo
commend his fidelity, but can nover recog
nise the liability of Government for his
losses."

Unfotiudcd Report of Cholera In Ala
bama. Surgeon O.W. Horner, of the Freedmen'a
Bureau, this morning received a private let
ter from a gentleman residing In Montgom
ery, Alabama, dated March 10, of which the
following Is an oxtract;
" Yesterday it was reported that tho chol
era made Its appearanco In Mobile; but I
hare not been able te trace the report to a
reliable source. Gen. Woods, commanding
the department here, has Issued orders for
the strict enforcement of quarantine regula
tions. Montgomery and Mobile are In a very
filthy oonditlon. It Is said that the military
authorities will see that theso cities aro prop
erly cleaned."
The following Is an extract of the order
issued by Maj. Gen. Charles R. Woods:
'Until further orders thore shall be estab
lished a strict system of quarantlue at Fort
Gaines, Alabama, to be enforced against all
vessels coming into the Bay of Mobile from
Cuba, Haytl, Jamaica, and all other Islands,
or from any port or place where cholera or
other pestilential or infectious diseases pre
vail, and against any vessels that may bavo
on board any person or persons affected with
cholera. The commandlmc officer at Fort
Powell will require all vessels from any of
me above-mentioned places to report al tno
quarantine station."
Dry Goods.
Trade Is dull for the season. Prices of nil
goods are downward. Tbe fall In the rates
of tbe exchange reduces the prices of foreign
goods, whleh, from an excess of supply, are
also selling below cost; and tbe tail in cotton
and gold, actual and prospective, renders the
market for home products a continual full
ing one. No dealers will buy largely! for
stook, but only for Immediate consumption.
Dealers from the Interior are on here, but
buy sparingly. Payments from Western
buyers are reported to be backward, which
Is checking their credit. Prints have again
declined lc.a2o. Some considerable sales
hare been made at the reduction, but prices
are still heavy. Brown shirtings and sheet
ings have declined. The domand Is mode
rate. Bleached prime goods are rather
scarce, and therefore not so heavy In price.
Delaines have fallen 3 cents a yard, and aro
still tending downward, the demand being
below the supply. A good Inquiry exists for
doeskins, which aro steady; and cloaking
for ladies are firm and active. Shawls are
abundant, but dull and lower. Fancy cassl
meres are In over-supply. The demand Is
limited and prices are declining. Foreign
goods aro very inactlvo at prhate sale, and,
exoept for linens, prices are lower. Quota
tions are nominal. Tbe auotlon sales are
numerous, and large parcels aro forced to a
sale at low prices. Silks suitable for man
tillas and cloaks are most Inquired for. Ger
man woven dress-goods, shawls, silks, rib
bons, and fancy casiimeros have been exten
slvoly sold through the auction-rooms. The
importations of goods continues nevertheless,

Negro litturrcctlou nt New Madrid.
By a gentleman Just nrrhed from New
Madrid, Mo., we learn that a sorlous out

It seems that somo thirty or forty negroes

alarming and beyond the control of tbe local
officers, the citizens took the matter In hand,
and, after a desperate struggle, shot and
killed two of the ringleaders and hung a third.
