The circulation of the country in 1860 was, taking
bank notes together, about $250,000,000,
coin and
increasing and de¬
creasing in obedience to the constantly varying demands of
trade. It is now not less than $1,000,000,000, and it neither
increases nor diminishes, but remains
always the same
whether trade is brisk or slack. If there exists
any good
reason
why this unnatural state of the currency should be
maintained, we are at a loss to perceive it. Surely the gov¬
ernment bonds require no “
floating.” Subscriptions amount¬
ing to four millions per day in seven-thirties must be grati¬
fying enough to the officers of the government. Bonds of
this kind cannot

funding of some $250,000,000 or
$300,000,000 of the currency—in other words, the with¬
drawal of two-thirds of the non-interest bearing greenbacks
in circulation.^ At the rate at which money is now being
loaned to th^i
government, this would take two or three
months time, provided the money could be devoted by the
government tS that purpose, and not expended in other ways.
Mr. McCulloch may have some arrearages to pay, he may be
temporarily snort of funds, but certainly the income which
the government has derived from the internal revenue, from
loans, and other sources, has not been so far behind the daily
demands of government that he cannot wait for two or
three months before he pays off the last contractor or the last
bureau budget. Then, when enough greenbacks for the
seven-thirty or other bonds are received and cancelled, to
bring the currency to par, he can resume the payments he is
making now, and pay up outstanding accounts as fast as he
pleases, for money will come in much faster than it ever has
yet. Such a proceeding will jeopardize the interests
of certain heavy operators who are in high favor at
Washington, say the enemies of the Administration.

compel the National banks to put up more securities, and
thus endanger the pet system of the treasury, say others.
This is absurd. .The national banks have now a circulation
of $146,9*27,975 loaned upon securities amounting to $340,938,000, which is equal to $2.32 for every dollar of bills is¬
sued.
Even should we come to specie payments this very
day, with Five-twenties in London at 71 in gold, which would
of course become their price here, the National banks would
still hold securities, the par value of which would be $242,025,880 in gold, which is equal to $1.64 for every note is¬
sued.
With assets amounting to sixty-four per cent over
and above their liabilities, aiid which can be immediately
converted into gold at pleasure, the National Banks are thus
seen to be quite able to meet any reduction of the currency,
however rapid, which the government can possibly inaugu¬
rate.
Does the Secretary of the Treasury entertain the
opinion that should he allow the currency to approximate to
par, he may fail to secure any further loans, because the quan¬
tity of circulation being reduced, what remained of it would
find constant and active employment, and would consequently
not flow into Mr. J. Cooke’s net ?
We can assure the Sec¬
these fears are not well founded. True the cur¬
rency would be actively employed in effecting the exchanges
of commerce, true it would not flow in response to Mr. Jay
Cooke’s polite invitation; but is it not apiece of finan¬
cial ' blindness, to regard as the only source of supply
for government loans the currency of this country % The
time has gone by when financial problems of every sort
were checked by the quantity and activity of the local cur¬
rency.
Finance ministers have now a much larger field for
their operations.
It is not the currency of their own country
but the currency of the entire world which they must study,
it is not a little country stream that they are fishing in tor
loans, but the vast ocean which belongs to all mankind. The
flow of emigration and capital which has gone on uninter¬
ruptedly for the last half century from almost every country
on the glebe towards those most inviting to laborer and capi¬
talist, a flow which is evidenced by the equalization of the
rates of interest for money, has brought all nations into com¬
munion.
To-day the rates for call loans in New York,
London, Paris, Vienna, and indeed all the great banking cen¬
tres of the world, only vary but one to two per cent.
This
is positive proof that money is free to flow almost uninter¬
ruptedly between all these places, and that the offer of a
higher rate for loans, if due allowance is made for whatever
of risk or labor may attend the transaction at any one of
these places, will be sure to attract capital for investment

will, by^plaeing the hemispheres in instant communication,
convey intelligence to and fro of any change either in supply
demand, and equalization will go on until the rates of in¬
terest at all the great banking centres of the civilized world
will be the same.
With these proofs that he is dealing not
with the currency of this country but with the currency of the
entire world, does it not seem strange that the Secretary
should still have reason to delay specie payments ?
i The
people of Europe are not so stupid as not to perceive
the immense advantages offered to them by the seven-thirty
loan.
They know full well that the rate of interest it offers
is far above the market value of money.
The risk they run
is scarcely worth mentioning.
The loan must soon be all
filled, and as the treasury lias no authority to offer any more,
their chances of an extremely favorable investment will be
gone. They know all this.
They also know that in two or
three years at farthest this government will be able to bor¬
row all the money it wants at three per cent, and that it will
do so, and call in all its present obligations, and replace them
with bonds bearing a lower rate of interest just as fast as it can.

competing for loanable funds. All that our government has
to do to get money is to offer enough for it, and it can have
all the riches of the earth at its feet.
We are at a loss, therefore, to perceive any good reason
for not returning to specie payments.

equivocal nature of the political relations between the
later, result in
open antagonism or a definite understanding. This govern¬
ment cannot ignore the essence of a nationality bordering up¬
on our own territory and acknowledged by the great powers
of the world.. Pending the struggle between the revolted
States and the Federal authority, the privilege of reticence
on the part
of the Administration upon the subject of Mexi¬
can affairs was conceded as due to international expediency;
but the struggle ended, it becomes a matter of national dig¬
nity as well as duty to define' frankly and explicitly the po¬
sition of this Government in regard to the imperial claim of
Maximilian. Interests of magnitude, not only political, but
industrial and commercial, are involved in the settlement of
this question; and in the disposition of an issue so important,
it behooves the American people to act with calmness and
discretion, holding the impulses of popular prejudices subject
to the promptings of reason, j and submitting with the best
possible grace to the uncompromising absolutism of facts,
and to every honorable argument of safety and self-interest.
It is not to be concealed that popular opinion, founded sim¬
ply upon sentiment and traditional doctrine, is averse to the
introduction of imperialism upon this continent; and if, to¬
day, the voice of the American people could pass judgment
without appeal to arms, the republicanism of Mexico, weak
as it was and fraught with the
elements of corruption and
revolution, would be restored. But that is not, exclusively,
the question.
It is for us to determine whether the immedi¬
ate restoration of Mexican republicanism would be worth the
peril and burdens of a foreign war, in which our exhausted
country would have to confront at least one of the most pow¬
erful of the potentates of Europe ; and if the self-reliance
and indomitable spirit of our countrymen is willing to invite
such an arbitration, it is further to be considered whether the
Mexican problem cannot be solved to our satisfaction withThe

laudable anxiety to encourage
immigration from this Republic, and his efforts to secure the
co-operation of American capital, enterprise and labor for the
development of the natural resources of Mexico, entitle him
to consideration as a sagacious and well meaning prince,
devoted to the regeneration of the neglected and disordered
territory over which -he has assumed a difficult, if not a
dangerous sceptre. Maximilian, doubtless, appreciates the
instability of his throne, and has concluded, wisely, that by
giving an impetus to the commerce and industryj of the
country he can at least secure a respite from revolution. We
too can afford to wait a little, while the Mexican people are
being indoctrinated with the true principle of republicanism ;
and we can abide the period of probation with the; better
grace from the circumstance that meanwhile a vast field for
profitable adventure will be open to ourselves. A very few
years will suffice ,to place-the industrial system of Mexico
under the direction of capitalists and business men from this
Republic; and then, in good time, the political question will
resolve itself without precipitating an international wTar.
Let us examine, therefore, the immediate inducements
presented to our capitalists, and to those adventurous spirits
that are looking about for new fields in which to exercise
their talents.
Maximilian has issued an imperial decree
authorising a “ Company of Mexican-American Immigra¬
tion,” and to that company he extends the most liberal con¬
ditions, and opens the most inviting prospects. The director
of this society, Mr. Canfield, is at
present in the United
States for the purpose of promoting the success of the enter¬
prise. It will not be uninteresting to exhibit the resources
that Mexico has in store for those who
purpose immigration
or investment.

from Vera Cruz to Mexico; another has been granted to the Pacific, to
follow closely the direction of the great valley, through which runs the

others are to be constructed, and the govet nment is well disposed to
issue the grants to private companies; the lateral lines to connect with
this principal artery are as follows:

There are, also, several rivers that can be made navigable, such as

striking chapter in the first volume of the Em¬
Napoleon’s “ Life of Csesar,” is that in which the
nephew of the great conqueror, who deigned to “ make the
Mediterranean a French lake,” sums up the commercial and
political history of the states which rose and flourished about
the shores of that great water before Rome had reached the
peror
term
of her
republican
progress.
One after another the
splendid cities—Egyptian, Phoeni¬
cian, Greek, Carthageniam—which lit up their beacon lights
of civilization from the Isthmus of Suez to the Pillars of Her¬
evoked by the imperial writer from the “ ignorance
and silence” of the Past. We see them once again in the
glory of their enterprise and their opuleiice; we trace the fer¬
tilizing stream of Oriental traffic as it flows from point to
point, bringing life and kindling life on its way. And, then,
one after another we behold these glittering marts decay, the
country around them sink back from prosperity and enlight¬
enment into a barbaric desolation; and moved by so eloquent
a
spectacle of human progress and of human instability, we
are led
easily and naturally up to the “ conclusion of the
whole matter,” as the Emperor puts it in these more than
significant words : “ The remembrance of such greatness in¬
spires a very natural wish, namely, that henceforth the jeal¬
ousy of the Great Powers may no longer prevent the East
from shaking off the dust of twenty centuries, and from being
born again to life and civilization.”
Uttered by an ordinary historian, this sentiment might
pass for what Mr. Choate described the Declaration of Inde¬
pendence to be—“ a tissue of glittering generalities.” Uttered
by the most powerful and the most politic of cotemporary
sovereigns, it will be recognized, especially when read with
the commentary supplied by events now actually occurring
as a
programme of action proposed to himself by a monarch
who has never yet suffered “I dare not” to wait upon “I
cules,
are
would.”
The
organization of the Kingdom of Italy, and the success¬
ful prosecution of the canal across the Isthmus of Suez—both
of them sedulously favored and really made practicable by
the influence of the Emperor of the French—have now reached
such a point that no man interested in the future direction of
the great
world-commerce between the East and the West,
any longer afford to be ignorant either of the mighty
changes which are preparing in that world-commerce, or of
the policy of France in regard to those changes.
Correspondents of some of the English journals who were
present at the recent opening, under the auspices of M. De
Lesseps, of the communication by the canal of Suez between
the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, have represented that
great work as a practical failure.
No one, indeed, ventures to deny that the Isthmus has real¬
ly been pierced; that the waters of the Mediterranean have
really, and in no metaphysical sense, been mingled with that
of the Red Sea; and that a small steamer, presented to the'
Suez Company by Prince Napoleon, has actually passed
through the existing canal. These results of the indefatigable
can
impracticable by the shifting sands; and that the fresh
water canal, constructed to supply the trans-isthmian route
with water, will prove inadequate to that object.
To all of these criticisms the trans-isthmian company reply
that the entire success of their undertaking is a mere question
now of time and money, and that what they have already ac¬
complished was pronounced utterly impracticable by the same
English writers five years ago.
•The preponderating testimony of the French, Italian, Ger¬
man and Levantine merchants, who made the trip with M. De
Lesseps from the one sea to the other, - is decidedly in favor
of the company ; and the general aspect of the Suez question
dered
in the East at this moment is
such
as
to warrant
the belief
Eu¬
rope and the East will be peremptorily and effectually
changed, in such a manner and to such an extent as to bring
that, at
no
distant day, the whole course of trade between
commercial revolution throughout the world.
A convention has just been signed between the French
about
a
of the Messagerie Imperiale and the Suez company, by which Port Said is to be made the terminus of the
Mediteranean steam-line connecting with the east. At Cantara, the frontier station of the great Syrian caravans, M. De
Lesseps has made extensive purchases of land, and laid out
the plan of a considerable town; the works on Lake Timseh
are
pushing forward energetically, and a strategic position has
been selected by him on the heights about half way between
the Red Sea and the Mediteranean, to be fortified, which will
company
command the entire Isthmus from
sea
to sea.
Both at Con¬
stantinople and at Cairo the progress made and making by
enterprise, which was thrown by the opposition and the
incredulity of England entirely into French hands, has at last
excited very serious alarm in the one city for the integrity of
the Ottoman Empire—in the other for the practical indepen¬
dence of the Egyptian Vice-royalty.
The British minister at
Constantinople, Sir Henry Bulwer, is actively fermenting the
anxieties both of the Ottoman Porte, and of Osman Pasha;
and it is now proposed that a joint commission to be named
by the Turkish and Egyptian governments and the Suez com¬
pany, shall revise the concessions of land originally made to
the latter, and decide how much is really needed by them for
the commercial purposes of the enterprise.
Meanwhile the extraordinary activity with which the new
Italian government is pushing forward its system of railway
connections between the eastern and western parts of the
peninsula bears witness to the clearness with which the com¬
mercial mind of Italy appreciates the impending change in
the conditions of the Mediteranean commerce, and to the de¬
termination with which Italy proposes to appropriate her
natural shajre of the advantages attendant upon that change.
At the end of May the Italian Minister of Finance and the
two sons of the King hastened from Turin to Bari on the
Adriatic to join in the celebration at the latter city of the
opening of railway communication from Piedmont, Lorn
bardy, and the Romagna, to the shores of the Southern Adri¬

political causes. The principal securities were the most neglected,

The name of the firm at Marseilles whose failure exercised such
an unfavorable influence upon the Bourse, was that of M. Rosland
& Co. The failure is said to affect the entire population of Mar¬

the shares offered for sale at the Stock-Exchange brought the price
down from 560f. to 60f., and finally to 25f. The last quotation is
from lOf. to 15f. The loss, which is enormous, is confined to
Marseilles, but as the shares are divided among a great number of
individuals the financial catastrophe will be less severe than was at
first supposed. The suspension is attributed to the fall in the
price of sugar, and, should a recovery take place before the affairs
of the house are wound up, they may yet meet all their engage¬

The liabilities of the great sugar refinery at Marseilles which
recently failed are ascertained to amount to 31,000,000 sterling.
The failure has jeopardized several smaller firms in that city, and
induced a general distrust in the trade. At Nantes the sugar
trade is in a bad way, owing to the low price of the article ; and
the Minister of Finance has suddenly caused perturbation in the
trade by requiring that import duties shall be paid in two
instead of four as formerly. It is apprehended that other branches
of commerce will be affected after sugar. As regards the cotton
trade in particular, unfavorable reports are current,
ments.
The market at
Frankfort has undergone a marked change in the
renewed demand for American stocks, and the dulness of Austrian
securities. The news of the restoration of peace, and the reduction
of the army and navy of the United States has given a stimulus to
the investors.
On the other hand, the policy of the Austrian
Minister of Finances has greatly weakened the demand for the
securities of that nation. The demand for the new loan 116,000,000
fl. indicates that the Minister either cannot sell the domains at the
expected price, or that he is unwilling to do so, and prefers bor¬
rowing and keeping them. The deficit for 1865-66 had been reduced
to 10,000,000 fl., and it was expected that the pledges for the sale
of the lands would be carried out. The avowal of the misappro¬
priation of large sums which had been voted for different purposes,
and the admission that the bad harvests of 1863 had caused a
diminution of income to the amount of 20,000,000 fl., though sus¬
pected, had produced an unfavorable impression. The declaration,
therefore, that this would be the last sacrifice required to pay off
the debt to the Bank and to restore the currencv, and that hence¬
forth the taxes being paid in cash the deficit would totally disappear,
could, it is said, make no impression. Hence the 5 per cents, keep
down at 68, although the interest has now been paid without inter¬
ruption for the last 50 years. Money is at present so abundant at
Frankfort that discount is at 2£ per cent.

Dear Sir: Your letter making inquiries in relation to asssessing
shareholders in national banks is duly received. I had previously read
the circular published by the Hon. E. G. Spaulding, to
you
which
refer.
printed circular issued by me states the duty of assessors in this
respect as I understand it. Congress expressly authorized the taxing
of the shareholders in national banks. The Legislature, at its last ses¬
sion, passed a law,“ The Enabling Act,” so called, which directs them
to be taxed in pursuance of that authority. I do not see how any
assessor can disregard that law.
The act of Congress requires that they shall not be taxed at any
higher rate than State banks. Mr. Spaulding’s circular assumes that
they will be taxed at & higher rate, because they have no deduction on
account of United States stocks held by them, whilst the State banks
have such deduction to the extent that their capital is invested in those
stocks. The error of this assumption is manifest. The rate of taxation
is one thing; the amount of assessment is quite another and different
thiDg. If a State bank has invested any portion of its capital in gov¬
ernment securities, it can only be assessed for the residue, but it is
taxed at the same rates as if it had no such investment; but not for the
Its government stocks are exempt by act of Congress.
same amount.
But Congress made no such exemption in the case of national banks.
On the contrary, in the very same act in which it requires them to
invest in government stocks, it authorizes them to be taxed, and makes
no exemption in their favor.
The decision of the Supreme Court does
not affect the question, for it does not and cannot override the express
act of Congress upon which the authority is based.
If Congress has in this particular inadvertently given an advantage
to State banks, the assessors have not, for that reason, any right to dis¬
regard the law. Congress alone has power to remedy the defect. Too
much property is already exempt from taxation by reason of its being
invested in privileged securities, leaving the great burthen of taxation
to fall upon the less fortunate.
The lines of exemption should not be
extended beyond the strict requirements of law.

sustained^fThe brokers,
however, continue to have the market very much to them¬
selves, the public being indisposed to enter into speculations,
though tempted by free offers of 10 per cent margins. Erie
common stock has been unsettled by rumors as to the
pros¬
pect of the dividend. The Directors have met during the
week, but without coming to any decision as to j the disposal
ta¬
of the
large .surplus earnings of the company; the prevailing
expectation that a 4 per cent semi-annual dividend will be
declared before the close of the month; and this
morning
rumors to that effect resulted in the
purchase of 6,000 shares,
and an advance of 1J.
Quicksilver has been’ very active
during the week, and on Wednesday touched 64—a rise of
11 since July, 1864. The advance is attributable
partially
to the purchases of a large “ short ” interest to cover their
contracts, and perhaps more to the fact of the company hav¬
ing received an offer from the house of Rothschilds to become
agents for the sale of 25,000 flasks of silver per annum ; a
tender which is almost certain of being
accepted, as it will
largely improve the facilities of the company for marketing
their product.

gold premium is at present chiefly
controlled by speculative movements.
Although, within the
last ten days, about six millions of gold interest has passed
from the Sub-Treasuvy into the* market, and the
export de¬
mand has almost entirely ceased, yet the price of gold shows
extraordinary firmness, and has advanced from 139$ on Fri¬
day last, to 143* to-day. The decline of Five-Twenties in
London, reported by the Persia, has encouraged the “ bulls ”
to hold their stock, of five or six millions off the
market;
while at the same time they have made new alliances and are
still buying up considerable* amounts.
By this means they '
have been enabled to steadily force up the premium.
They
are understood to aim at
putting up the price to about 145,
and then attempt to sell out.
The shipments of specie from this port since our last re¬
port, have been as follows: On Saturday, July 8, by City of
Boston, $15,408; on Wednesday,- 12th, by the Cuba, $239,OOO—total $254,408.

COTTON.
This market has been active and buoyant throughout
and prices have been further advanced.
reached, however, on Tuesday, under the stimulus of a
the week,
The highest point was
public sale.of
government cotton, at whicb good ordinary brought 49c. and strict
middling Orleans 534c. - Since then, although the extreme prices of
that day have not been fully supported, the market has ruled strong
and active. The Liverpool accounts are hardly so favorable to
pricees as were anticipated, and the receipts have materially in¬
creased. Rut the advance in cotton goods, and the large demand
from spinners, an advance in gold, with considerable speculative
feeling, have neutralized these influences, and yet the market closes
weak at quotations,—spinners generally retiring from the mar¬
ket. Sales for the week, 15,000 bales. Receipts, 15,025 bales.
Exports last week, 3,400 bales. Making about 8,000 bales in tho
past four weeks, and mostly to Liverpool. We quote:

There appears to be a

From a careful comparison of accounts that reach us, we estimate
the quantity of cotton marketed at about 4,000 bales per week day,

disorganized state of labor they are not in a position to supply the
market to the extent of the orders which are being sent forward.
It is also (pleaded that, the stocks of the raw material are insuffi¬
cient for the requirements of the trade. At the first blush there
would seem to be some force in these reasons, for the short stock
of goods.! But we believe the actual cause is not so much a posi¬
tive want of" material or labor, as a desire upon the part of the
manvfacturers to supply their productions sparingly, so as to re¬
alize better rates than the actual cost of production would warrant.
Such a course, pernicious in its tendency, will sooner or later work
its own cure. In support of these views, we would merely refer
to the daily receipts of cotton at this port, which are much in
excess of the manufacturing capacity of the country.
Woolen Goods.—Of domestic productions the market is barely
supplied just now. The value of the raw material still keeps up,
so that nrarly all descriptions of Cloths are held for extreme prices.
At present the demand is mainly confined to woolens suitable for
Clothiers and the jobbing trade. Broadcloths, Fancy Cassimcres,
and Satinetts, are on the rise, whilst Flannels of all- kinds are in
*•
request at better prices.
We give a table of prices in our Daily Bulletin and need Dot
repeat them here.

“Yesterday we had steady rain, which has been general throughout
the country; the want of it wa9 beginning to’ be severely felt for spring
corn, roots and pastures; but the Wheat plant, except, on light soils, is
generally well reported of. The trade since our last report has shown
increased firmness, though without much activity. At Tuesday’s mar¬
ket there was a better inquiry for Wheat, at an advance of Id. per cen¬
tal, Flour wa9 more saleable, at 6d. to Is. per 6ack dearer; good bar¬
rels are scarce. Indian Corn, with several lot9 offering ex-quay, was
rather easier. At to-day’B market there was a good demand for Wheat,

It is a moderate estimate to
put the various railway works now
in hand, or shortly to be commenced, in and around London, at an
aggregate length of 120 miles, and involving an outlay of about
£30,000,000. This vast network of railways is designed for the
convenience of
a
population already exceeding 3,000,000.
In England, as appears from the
following extract from a Lon¬
don paper, the custom of insuring
against railroad accidents has
become very general: “ No less than 200 excursionists* insurance
tickets were issued by the Railway Passengers’ Insurance
Company
for the train that ran off the line at Rednal, and claims have al¬
ready been made by the holders of nineteen of these for injuries
more or less severe, and in one instance
likely to prove fatal. Two

Marine Insurance scrip, showing in each case the amount outstand¬

important one, and an extensive business is done in buying and sell¬

In giving the value of the stock of the Hanover Insurance Com¬
pany last-week, we were made to quote it at 25 instead of 125, as
ft should'have been. The error and the cause of it was apparent.
