Treasury purchase of bonds and the resumption of specie
payments. It i3 pleasant to look back over the past year and
see what has been 'done.
A year ago the whole debt was
tainted with a suspicion in consequence of the bugbear of
repudiation. This cloud of suspicion has been rolled away,
and if the past year had left us no other legacy our credit
would have been hundreds of millions improved by the Con¬
gressional acts which gave the serpent of repudiation its quietus,
so that it will torment and sting the
public credit no more.
The death of repudiation is, however, but one of the financial
achievements of the past year. We have submitted to heavy
taxation, and have collected for the Treasury a revenue large
enough to leave a handsoyie surplus.' With this excess of
revenue we have bought up during the year 87£ millions of
bonds, of which 22£ millions are for the Sinking Fund, while
the remainder, 65 millions, await the disposal of Congress.
Iu two different ways then have we buttressed and strength¬
ened the public credit. First, we have57solemnly voted in
Congress that the principal of the debt shall be paid iu coin,
and, secondly, we have diminished the outstanding debt by




ciates in which these

computed. The calculation
precious metals in the world in
1848 were estimated at $9,142,000,000. To this stock of gold
and silver, in the last twenty years about $3,570 millions have
been added, making the aggregate one-third greater. Hence,
the volume of the specie currency may fairly be presumed to
be one-third more than in 1848. By the well-known law
governing the value of currency, one-third having been
added to the volume of the currency, a considerable increase
is added to nominal prices by the expansion of the circulating
medium.
According to these reasons, prices are adjust¬
law,
ing themselves all over the world to this
which regulates values just as the law of gravitation
rules the material world.
But for our California gold
mines the consequences of the paper money inflation would
have been much more severe, and it is'certain that the sup¬
ply of the precious metah has produced some changes in
prices, and may produce still greater changes. Whatever we
may think, then, of the subtle reasOningof these persons, we
may suffer them to teach us to acquiesce in the inevitable,

necessity, seeing that we cannot at
present take any very decided steps, with a view to contract
our own
currency, without running imminent risk of creating
a commercial
pan\c. As we cannot do much just now with
a view to force
specie payments, it is gratifying to think
that the laws of nature are perhaps about.to bring us gradual
relief, and will cause our own gold products, by an unex¬
pected avenue, to bring our financial barque to the haven of
specie payments.
However this may be, there is but one opinion as to the
policy of rash experiments with the currency. We have had
too much of this already, and the nation is in no humor .to
allow any more.
As to the other point—the Treasury pur,
chases of bonds—public opinion is .less fully developed.. The
views we have so often urged fur reducing taxation are how¬
ever
becoming more and more popular. And if we reduce
our taxes very much we must

THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.

Among the very various and conflicting critiques evoked
by the elaborate Message of Governor Hoffman, it is
gratifying to find that most of the financial views set forth in
that document are approved on all sides. Nor is this to be

applications. It
would be far better even that the writ ot injunction should
be abolished altogether than that it should continue to be the
cause of the unseemly collisions between Judges which have
been frequent for some years past.”
The only remaining point we have space to notice, refers
to the Conspiracy laws.
On the difficult ai d long contested
points at issue here, we cannot doubt that there will be less
unanimity of sentiment between the executive and the legis¬
lature.
The following is the argument of the Governor:—
monied and'other

corporations

on ex parte

A statute of this State declares it to be

a

misdemeanor for “ two

conspire to commit aoy act injurious to trade or
a conspiracy, if it assumes
a magnitude which
seriously threatens or effects the public welfare, deserves and shouldreceive its proper punishment.
This statute, however, has for the
most part, since its adoption, more than forty years ago, been of little
practical value. I cannot find, after a careful examinathn, that it®
provisions have ever been successfully invoked against capitalist® or
others for combining to raise the prices of grain, coal and othet articles
necessary for the comforts of the whole people, or to reduce the rate
of wages
It has, however, been evoked on several occasions against
and been by the courts construed to apply to journeymen ard others
for combining to raise the rate of wages, or to make and enforce regu¬
lations which they deemed necessary tor their mutual welfare. Cases
have recently occurred in Westchester County where the law has been
enforced against persons engaged in the last-named combinations.
I
persons to
commerce.” Such
or more

do not believe that the existence of a statute which cau be so con¬
strued as to make such acta criminal is productive of any public
benefit.
I do believe it to be productive rather of public evil. Like
all other laws which from their nature ar? likely to be executed

unequally it operates, when it operates at all, oppressively.
I recommend, tbeiefore, a repeal of this Conspiracy law, or such a
modification of it as, while it forbids a conspiracy to injure the general
condition both of this State and of the whole country. It is trade and commerce of the State or country, will do away with that
judicial construction which makes it equally ciiminal for citizens to
pleasant to find the financial feeling of the State removed so combine for the purpose of seculing an increase of the wages of.labor,
far from the noisy perilous scene of party politics.
One of oj of establishing and maintaining prudential regulations for their mu¬

but they have a direct tendency to establish and improve the

the wholesome reforms which the Governor

recommends is

the State debt.
About one
third of this debt was contracted in time of
specie payments.
This part, which amounts to $12,725,210 96, he savs should
be payable, principal and interest, in gold.
The remaining
two-thirds of the debt ($22,122,824 77) was
incurred in
paper money during the war, and may take its chance with
other currency debts bearing gold whenever the
country re¬
sumes

I recommend that

provision be made for the payment in coin, or
on that portion of the 8iate debt which
was incurred
before the late war, and of the

It was contracted in specie, and the honor and
good faith
of the State forbid that either interest or
principal should be paid in a
depreciated currency. Failure to pay this interest in gold occurred
its

equivalent, of the interest

is

superfluous to say that cases of oppression have
occurred, and that acts of injustice have been done in the
administration of the conspiracy laws. If a clear case can
be made out for a relaxation of its rigor, then justice to
individnals requires that some modification of the statues
shall be made. But justice to the individual citizen is only
one of the considerations which
jurisprudence contemplates.
Justice to the community must not be overlooked. Society
must be protected against cliques of speculators and com¬
binations of capitalists, and in relaxing bonds which now and
then harass a few workmen on strike, it must not lay open
the whole of our financial machinery to any band of brigands
and incendiary capitalists, who may conspire and combine to
throw business into confusion by tampering with the money
market and manipulating the Gold Room.
The fact that for forty years this law has slumbered, and
bas scarcely been invoked, except fora minor class of offences, /
s
surely no reason why we shall be deprived of its protect
Ion just at this moment when the combinations of cliques
ind speculators are reaching a magnitude never known before
n this country, and never paralleled before in any nation in
the world.

habitues of Wall street sees just now too plainly the traces

of this severe process of remedy. \ A history of the class of
temporary financial depression. To us, however, it appears
that this conclusion is not warranted, but on the contrary that speculators known as “outsiders,” would tell of few who

It is a statement which would be borne out by

Unsteadiness discourages the employment every candid broker that four-filths of these “ outsiders” are

eqalization of values ; and the risks of production and of
commerce being thereby reduced, the recovery of confidence
has drawn back capital from speculative haunts to its more
legitimate business employments. So far as this tendency
may account for the declension of speculation, the present
condition of Wall street is a matter of public gratulation.
An important element in this speculative reaction
is the steadier course of the gold .premium. • For some
months past, the course of the premium has been much
more even than formerly; and, whatever may be said of
Secretary Boutwell’s management upon other grounds, the
large supply of gold placed upon the market through his
sales, and the export of securities in lieu of specie, induced by
his purchases of bonds, have had the effect of placing the
premium, to a large extent, beyond the control of specula¬
tors, and of leaving it more free to be regulated by legitimate
influences. This steadiness has not only lessened the induce¬
ments to speculate in gold and produced the contraction in
the Gold Room operations above alluded to, but by tending
to promote a steadier course of prices generally, it has, so
far, counteracted speculation in other branches, and encouraged
the employment of capital in business pursuits.
Illegitimate speculation contains within itself the elements
of ultimate restraint and remedy. By illegitimate specula¬
tion we mean, not those operations based upon the anticipa¬
tion of changes in.values growing out of ordinary natural
causes, but such as are accompanied with artificial and forced
interference with the natural course of prices. No one

clique managers and shrewd and wealthy capitalists, who,
from their official position in railroad and other corporations,
have been able to absolutely control the course of the market
for their own benefit. One very important cause of the pre¬
sent depression arises from the fact that the class of smaller
operators have been thus mulcted by a minority of wealthier
speculators ; and it is not easy to see how there can be any
important revival in these operations until a new class of
dupes have been drawn into the market.
>
Another influence operating in the same direction is the
exposure of some prominent speculative deceptions. The
artifices, by which the public were drawn into mining
schemes and petroleum ventures in 1864 and 1865, have
been so completely exploded that speculations of that descrip¬
tion have become absolutely extinct. Following this, came
the era of stock “ watering
and that process having been
applied to nearly every railroad represented on the market,
its force also has been spent.
Next came the expedient, in
most cases more plausible than beneficial, of railroad con¬
solidation, upon which extensive movements have been
stimulated in connection with some prominent stocks ; but
this class of schemes also appears to have had their day.
In
connection with each one of these departments, the moral re¬
mains that the

schemes have been instrumental in trans¬

ferring money from the mass of small operators into the
hands of the few wealthier manipulators.
We presume that
the inventive resources of our venturous capitalists have

yet been exhausted, and that some other methods of
with its deceptions slaughtering the innocents will be forthcoming in due time ;
ani feints, its clique expedients, its gambling methods of man¬ but there can be no doubt that the absence of these special
agement, and its appliances of “puts,” “ calls” and “ corners,’’ stimulants is one of the causes of the present depression of
can be at a loss to understand what we mean by this sort of speculation.
Upon the whole, there appears to be good reason for
interference. In judging of the merits of speculation, it is
may be a temporary revival of

having within itself no means of improving, on the average
the means of those engaged in it, must clerely result, in the
long run, unsatisfactorily to the speculator. The larger and
shreweder operators, by dint of their superior monetary power,
and of their skill in scheming, usually succeed in absorbing the
capital of the men of smaller means and inferior sagacity:
that the result is simply that one party looses and
so
another gains, just as at the gambling table, the losers of
course being generally in a large majority as to number.

striking illustrations of the liability of speculation to involve

appropriate fiduciary funds, to tempt clerks and officials into
heavy defalcations, and to demoralize the officers of large
corporations, that a certain degree of disreputability has very
justly become attached to speculation, which is likely hereafter
to impose a salutary check at least upon its excesses.

gold premium ranged during the month between 119£ and 124.
having been done between 120 and 121. The
steadiness of the premium, together with the coutinued depression
in speculation, have caused the traosucti ns of the Go:d Exchange
to be very- light,
Repeated dibits have been made by a few
wealthy operators to influence the premium, but with discouraging
results, the largeness of the supply haviug reudered the market.. to
a certain extent, unmanageable.
The Treasury issued proposals for
the sale o' $11,000,000 of coiu during the mouth ; but of this
ainouut only $8,00d,000 was actually sold, the bids for $1,000,000
beiag refused as too low, and $2,000,000, anno meed for sale in the
last week, being withdrawn, apparently from an indisposition on the
part of the. Secretary to unduly depress the premium. The exports
of specie fur the month were strictly nominal, and the payments for
customs at this port only $6,969,000.
At the close of the month
the Treasury held $40,L70,380 of piivate coin against certificates,
while the average amount of specie iu the associated banks, for the
week euaiug on December 3L, was $31,166,908—figures which suf¬
ficiently indicate the unusually heavy supply of gold on the market
and in part accouut for the weakness of the premium,

strong, and considerable anxiety has been felt respecting the they received for the goodwill, and they could hope for no earthly
result; but I think the mote general impression towards the close benefit except that which was contingent on the future success of

The prosecution labored cer¬ directors they acted honestly, and from a belief, though possibly it

The Solicitor General made an able their verdict was to effect great things—that the commercial world

grounds for believing that at the time of the transfer the concern bar of men who once stood so high would not he without its salu¬

This belief has proved unfounded, but, tary influence on those growing up among them. It was said that
the commercial world was not animated by the same lofty and safe

depositors were rapidly withdrawing their money, and when hut example of a deviation from those principles and its consequences
faint hopes could have been entertained of preventing a stoppage would not he without its warning, both to the commercial com¬

The matter of Overend, Gurney & Co. will soon become a matter

The quiet tone of the
Liverpool cotton market, occasioned by reports of con¬
tinued large receipts at the American ports, and
free arrivals in the
Mersey, is retiecte t in this market; and, as cotton continues lo be offered for
future delivery
lower rates than what it can be

sell in advance when the
opportunity arises; but buyers have been less willing to
extend their orders than they were a week since. The demand for

The tone which has prevailed in this market since
Thursday last has continued,
and quotations are scarcely so extreme as
they were a few days since. Virtually,
however, there is uO change in prices, which remain steady in all
departments.
As is usually the case when there is a
pause in the demand, some producers turn
up who are not under contract, and are in a position to deliver
early. These sel*
sers have been more
willing to go on selling, and so far the market may be con¬
sidered a shade aeaker ; but as those
spinners and manufacturers who are in thi9
position are comparatively few, the market is not perceptably affected in conse¬
quence, and the greater part of the business which has been done has been at
last
Friday's full rates. Tlie amount of business done has been limited, and has con¬
sisted mostly of sales of small
lots, but which are

improvement in demand, and] low
grades especially, Texas being freed, in a measure, from the
pressure of California Wool upon the market, may be quoted
i@lc per lb higher.
Freights have been inactive, though including two days
fair business. Rates have been weak, with a slight decline in
some cases, but close firm with a tendency rather upward.
In Provisions, we notice almost a panic in hog products.
Mess Pork declined to $28 ; prime Mess Pork to $26 50;
prime Steam Lard to 16£c, and Cumberland Bacon to
14c, at twhich, in sympathy with gold, there is much firm
ness at the close.
Beef very steady. Butter and Cheese,
though quiet, have been very steady.

portion of it through the Siiez Canal claimed to be more proba¬
in fact, altogether the surroundings have been much less
satisfactory than those who were looking for a rise in prices antici¬
pated, and the consequence is that the market has been dull and
heavy, especially for the J$w grades, with holders freer sellers, and
closes to-night quiet, although gold has taken quite a decided turn
upward to-day. For forward delivery the demand has been less
active than during previous weeks (to-day’s transactions only
covering 200 bales), at gradually weakening prices, though the
rates are still well up.
Sales of this description reach a total of
4,700 bales (all low middling, or on the basis of low middling,),
of which 700 bales were for January, 500 at 24fc, 100 at 24*, and
100 at 24f; 1,200 bales for February, 700 at 25*, 100 at 25*, 200
at 25f, 100 at 25|, and 100 on
private terms ; 500 bales for March,
100 at 25 ll-16c, 100 at 25|, 100 at 25*, and 200 at 25*; 750 for
April, 60 at 25fc, 100 at 26c, 200 at 25fc, 200 at 25|c, and 200 on
private terms; 550 bales for May, 250 at 26*, 100 at 26 5-16, 100 at
25*, and 100 on private terms; also 300 for February, March and
April on private terms; 200 for January free on board at New
Orleans, 300 do. do. at Charleston, and 300 for February, March
and April free on board at Mobile, all on private terms. The total
sales for immediate delivery this week foot up 9,700 bales (in¬
cluding 856 bales to arrive), of which 6,683 hales were taken by
spinners, 1,270 bales on speculation, 2,747 bales for export, and

materially from last season. Or say that 47 per cent up to the
