The following letter was received by
Mr. N. A. Cowdrey, President of the Con
tinental National Bank on the 7th inst. :
Executive Mansion, »
WAsniNGTON, D. C., Oot. ti, 1873.)
My Dear Mb. Cowdrey—Your letter of
the 20th nit. was duly rooeived and read,
as was your previous letter. Neither re
quired an answer, particularly, aud hence
I did uot answer them at that time. Your
last lotter, however, contains one sen
tence that it seems proper I should reply
to, that is as to an implied threat to the
National banks contained in my letter to
Messrs. Anthony and Clafliu. Nothing
was further from my mind than a threat.
My whole object was to restore conti-
denco to the public mind, and to give
assurances that the government would
give nil the aid in its power, keeping in
view at the same time the solvency ot
the National Treasury. You, and all
bank presidents, know more about the
condition of your banks than I can possi
bly know. In turn I, through the Sec
retary of the Treasury, know more about
the financial condition of the government,
its ability to render aid, etc., than any
person disconnected from the adminis
tration of its affairs can know. I alluded
to the fact that the forty-four million re
serve notes in the Treasury would be re
garded as money in the Treasury subject
to use,for the purpose of showing that the
lueaus are at hand to give the relief we
promise.
I do not believe the present panic will
work to individuals half the injury it will
work general good to the country at large.
Our monetary system is the creation of
necessity. It has no elasticity, but in
other respects it is tho best tbut has ever
been devised. No ouo now distrusts the
vulue of his paper dollar ; ou the contra
ry, it is sei/.etl and hoarded with the same
avidity now that the gold dollar has been
in former like adversities. The panic will
call attention to the defecta in our mone
tary system, amt will, no doubt, lead to
legislation to relieve tho want of elas
ticity.
The panic has brought greenbacks about
to a par with silvur. I wonder that silver
is not already coming iuto the market to
supply the deficiency in the circulating
medium. When it duos come—and I
predict that it will soon—we will have
made a rapid stride towards Bpecie pay
ments. Currency will never go below
silver after that.
The circulation of silver will have other
beneficial otfocts. Experience has pro
ven that it takes about forty millions of
fractional curreucy to make the small
change necessary for the transaction uf
tho businoss of the country. Silver will
gradually take the plaoe of this currency,
and, further, will become the standard of
values, which will bo hoarded in a smull
way. I estimtae that this will consume
from *200,000,000 to *300,000,000, in
time, of this species of our circulating
medium. It will leave the paper curren
cy free to perform the legitimate func
tions of trade, and will tend to bring us
back where we must come at laBt—to a
specie basis. I confess to a desire to see
a limited hoarding of money. It insures
a firm fonndation in time of need. But I
want to see the hoarding of something
that has a standard of vslule the world
over. Silver has this ; and if we once get
back to that our Btrides towards a higher
appreciation of our currency will be
rapid.
Our mines are now producing almost
unlimited amounts of silver, and it is be
coming a question, “What shall we do
with it ?" 1 suggest here a solution that
will auswer for some years, and suggest
to you bankers whother you may not imi
tate it; to put it in oiroutation now ; keep
it there until it is fixed, and thon we will
find other marketB. The South and Cen
tral American countries have asked us to
coin their silver for them. There has
never been authority of law to do so. I
trust it will now be given. When it is
given it will be more than the equivalent
of becoming exporters of articles of man
ufactories which were previously articles
of import. Orders will come for large
amounts of coin. It will bo all in Rilver,
while payments are not necessarily so.
Wo become the manufacturer of this cur
rency, with a profit, and will probably se
cure a portion of our pay in the more
precious metal.
I havo thought much about the recom
mendations I should make to Congress,
aud have changed slightly in regard to
banking laws since last I had the
pleasure of a personal interview
with you. It is not necessary to state
what those changes are, because they may
undergo further modification. I shall
give to tho subject, howover, my siucer-
est thoughts, and will court the views of
others.
I have written this hastily, but if it
calls forth any views you would like to
express, I will be glad to bear them.
Yours truly,
U. S. Grant.

Warhinoton, D. C., Oot. 21. Tho
Providence schooner Ida 8. Bagers ar
rived here from Savannah on the 27th
ult. On tho 1st she experienced a heavy
gale and was compelled to throw over
board her cargo of lumber on the 2nd.
Jenkins, the mate, died on tho 7th, aud
soon it was found that provisions and
water were short and all were put on short
allowance. In tho midst of all this
trouble, on the 11th two of the crew
quarrelled and one was stabbed with a
knife.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEttlS-
I.ATUKE.
Columbia, Oet. 21.—The Legislature
met iu extra session to-day. Gov. Moses
sent in a lengthy message. He represents
the funded debt to be *15,027,503, and
the floating debt *5,30(1,397, and presents
a scheme for scaling the debt. The State
being unable to pay the interest on the
debt as it stands, bondholders will be in
duced to agree that the debt be reduced
in volume all bonds for which the State is
aotually liable, except *38,000 of State
oapital bonds of 1855. Tho conversion
of bonds amounting to *5,1)63,000 cou
pons upon the bonds to pay certificates
and bills payable iu soript and other evi
dences of State indebtedness to be re
turned to the State Treasury. Alto, ehall
issuo instead, other bonds or certificates
of stock, equal in amount to the full value
of such bonds, coupons and certificates,
lie concluded with an argument in
favor of higher taxation, saying: Tho
rate uf taxation in South Carolina is much
lower titan the average of tho thirty-seven
States.
COL. HUGHES.
QUESTION AN TO HIS QUAMIT-
CATION
Washington, Oct. 21.—The friends of
Col. Hughes deny that ho is disqualified
for the office of governor of Virginia.
1’hey say he went to Tennessoo in July
1870, to compose a quarrel, failed to make
peace and found there would be no fight.
He delivered no letter understood by him
to bo a challenge leading to a duel. If he
had delivered a challenge it was in town.
Although the constitution of Virginia ap
plies to a principal sendiug or accepting
a challenge outside of the State, it dues
apply to one delivering a challenge unless
it is delivered in the State.
