The Currency.—It is well known,
from tho public declarations of Mr. Mc
Culloch and of Mr. Freeman Clarke,
Comptroller of the Currency, that they
the currency as redundant, and
apprehend, from its continuance or in
crease, a revulsion which will cause wide
spread disaster throughout the land. But
it is equally certain that, at present, no
essential reduction of the bbrrency can bo
suddenly made without a serious’disturb
ance of all mooted interests. Money has
become comparatively scarce; arid the rate
of intofest has rifWi. In tho South inauojr
ic worth frof&5fcn':fr> fltYeon per ccnK-oi
year, on tho^Wt security, poreohttf*iTi7J
real. Money can hardly be obtained, ex
cept on call, in . the Northern cities, and
then at seven or eight per cent. Loans on
time rango from ten to twelve per cent.,
and are difficult of negotiation. Tho
banks are cramped for want of bank notes,
oven to pay depositors* checks. In Bos
ton banks such is tho scarcity of bank
bills that they certify checks, which pass
us currency. All these are tho usual signs
of an inflated currency, and iirbsigriitioant
premonitions. An immediate und large
contraction would expedite a crisis nml a
crash ; an expansion would afford tempo
rary relief, but would soon aggravate the
disorder and render it incurable.
What course the Secretary of the Trea
sury will propose is not made public, but
according to rumors it will not be one
that will very much alarm speculators,
nor produce any commotion in Wall
street. The national currency may be
increased in amount to an extent that may
be necessary to supply circulation in the
Southern States through national banks
t<> be established there. Atf'totue floating
debt, of the Government, including legal
tenders bearing interest, it may be pro
pose! to offer a six per cent, louri, unlim
ited as to time und umoun^ for the grad
ual absorption of such portion of tho debt..
In tlie present condition of the money
market a large loan would not be taken at
six per cunt. Such a loan can only be
practicable when the supply of currency
is in excess of the demands of speculation.
But when speculation shall have run it-
natural course and produced its inevitable
results, and confidence in Government
ecurllics shall have been strengthened by kv wb
eonomical expenditures, the loan may be
Ifooled.—National Intell.
where, in a difficult pass obstructed by i

"Tub War is not Ended,"—-Such is
tbo word sent by telegraph through the
country. Thus Congress is to proclaim.
Upon this theory tho War Department
lots been, acting. The President, too. i-
chnrged with it, though his language hu
ll) us far boon board iu protest ugain&l tm
fuleo mnl cruel assumption.
"Tho war has ended two years too
soon," was the recent declaration of a
rapacious and ferocious officeholder. "Wr
have whipped tho rebels, but we have not
whipped them enough," was his explana
tion.
The desiro to crush out a fallen foe is,
however, only a small part of the feeling
WWf-
most. Tho .standing army, which now
numbers one hundred and eighty thou
sand, will afford places for a host of men,
if it is still kept up on a war footing. The
expenditure of a war which has enriched
multitudes and given birth to a now aris
tocracy must not bo discontinued. That
arbitrary power which depends upon the
pretence of « war necessity for its exist
ence, and which enables Secretaries to
suspend hostile journals, to interdict dis
loyal churches, to arreet opposing politi
cians, and to imprison the witnesses of
thoir corruption, is too precious a preroga
tive to bo hastily surrendered. The war
must go on.
The rebel armies have surrendered, the
soldiery have returned to their homes, the
Confederacy is dissolved, the States have
severed the links that bound thorn to it
and to each other in rebellion, the ordi
nance of secession is annulled, the rebel
debt repudiated—there is peace, for there
is no enemy to make war. ButCongras*
and the lobby, the contractors and the
officeholders, the Secretaries and the spec
ulators, unite in raying that the war is not
ended!
Against whom, then, is war waged ?
Against tho people, the tax payers, the
States, the industry of tbo masses, the
public credit, the liberty of citizens 1 Thu*
is tho wur that, closed against the South,
is rc-oponed by politicians at Washington.
Let them recollect that there are two sides
to such a war, and that, powerful as they
may think themselves in position and
resources, the people against whom they
proclaim hostilities are yet stronger.

Another Message from President John

The Columbia correspondent of tha
Charleston Nows communicates the fol
lowing, under date of the h ult.:
Tho following telegram has been re*
dived by the Provisional Governor from

cate that he has changed hi« views with
regard to the time at which members elect
should present tin ir ecrtiiloatos of election.
The views given in Ibis dispa'ch are, at
least, different from those attributed to
him a short time beck. Perhaps he is

submit our PH«*e to the country through

To 11. I'. Terry, Provisional Governor :
1 do not think it ncma-mry for the mem
ber? elect for South Carolina to be present
at the organization of Congress. On the
contrary, It will be better policy to present
their ceriiticgtes of election after the two
Iioupes are organized, which will then be
a simple question, under the Oon?litul ion,
of the members taking their teats. Each
House must judge for itself the election

in reference to the oath now required to
be taken, before the members can take

not like to predict. But, upon the whole,
I am of opinion thut it would be better for
the question to come up and be disposed
of alter the two Houses have been organ
iz'd. I hope your Legislature will adopt
a code iu reference to free persons of color
that will be acceptable to the country, at

A Counterfeiter Killed.—It ha*
boon well known among the police author
ities of the Northern and Western citios,
lliat there has been, and is now existing,
an organized band of men, extending over
all sections of tho country, who are en
gaged in counterfeiting United Slates legal
tender notes of vaiious denomination*
These men, adepts in their nefarious
Cession, are engaged mostly in the
eution of these notes—randy, if ever,
attempting to personally pass mem off on
the public—and for this purpose agent* are
employed and scattered throughout the
principal cities and towns of the country.
Captain Garrott reoeived information, a
few days since, that a man named Roptti,
engaged in a bar and billiard talo >n in
Cincinnati, loft that place for this city,
with a large amount ot counterfeit money,
intended lor circulation here. Roptti
arrivod in this city on Saturday last, and
the police being on the qui rive for him,
one of them, officer MeKeon, met him on
Sunday evening last, about Seven o’clock
near tho corner of Market and Exchange
streoU, and in accordance with orders,
immediately proceeded to arrest biin.
Roptti, not rolishiug tho idea of arrest,
succeeded in releasing himself from the
grasp of the officer, and drawing u pistol,
shot at him, luckily missing him. it now
became necessary for the officer to defend
himself, a* woll as secure hia prisoner—so
he drew his pistol and shot the counter
feiter through the loft side, the ball enter
ing the heart and causing instant death.
About $2,000 in counterfeit notes, now in
the possession of Sheriff Winters, were
found upon his person, $2,000 of it being
i:i fifty rent Mil*, and the remsinlng five
or six hundred In one and five dollar
notes. I' appears that Koplli was under
bond in Cincinnati to the amount of $1 000
for counterfeiting. Officer McKeon ap-
piaiied before the Grand Jury, yesterday,
mid was admitted to bail in the sum of
.<10,000 for his appearance at tbu next
term of the Criminal Court.
