The withdrawal of the troops from such employment was effected diligently and with solicitous care for the peace and good order of society, and the protection of the property, and every right, of all elasscs of eiti zens. The results that have fol lowed are indeed significant and encouraging. All apprehension of danger from remitting those states to local self-government is dispelled, and a most salutorv change in the minds of the peo ple lias begun and is in progress iu every part of that section of the country, once the seat of un happy civil strife -substituting for suspicion, distrust and aver a ion, concord, friendship and pat riotic attachment to the union. No unprejudiced mind will deny that the fatal collision*, which * for several years have been of frequent occurrence, and have alarmed the public mind, have almost entirely ceased, and that a spirit of mutual forbearance and hearty national interest lias sue ceeded.

The wisdom of con gross in shaping any particular law that may l>e presented for my approval may wholly supercede the necessity of my entering into j its consideration, and I am willing j to avoid either vague or intricate | inquiries. It is only certain, j plain and practical traits of such ; legislation that 1 desire to reeom j mend to your attention. In any | legislation providing fora silver coinage, regulating its value and I imparting to it the quality of le- j galteniler, it seems to me of; great importance that congress 1 should not lose sight of its action, in operating in a two fold capaei-} ty and in two distinct directions. : If the United States government were free from a public debt, its: legislative dealing with the ques j t ion of silver coinage would be j purely sovereign and govern mental under no restraints but those of constitutional power and the public good as alfected b\ the proposed legislation; hut in the actual circumstances of the na tion. with a vast public debt dis tributed very widely among our own citizens and held to*a gfeat extent also abroad,' the nature of the silver coinage measures, as, affecting the relation of this gov-! eminent to the holders* of thei public debt, becomes a matter in any proposed legislation, of the highest concern. £he obligation of the public faith transcends all questions of ! profit or public advantage. ‘Oth erwise its unquestionable main ! tenaneeis the dictate, as well of the highest expediency, a* of the most necessary iltify, and will be ! carefully guarded by congress and the people alike. The public debt of the United States the amount of )j-' bears iu terest at tlit* rate of |i per cent; | *7<5,00©,Q00, at oj| j>er cent, and the only w in' jraich the country can lie relieved from | the payment of these high rates of interest'is by advantageously j refunding jhe indebtedness.— Whether the debt is ultimately paid in gold or in silver coin is of ' but little moment compared with j the possible reduction of the in terest one-third by refunding it at such reduced rates. If the United States had the unques | lionai.de right to pay its bonds in silver coin, the little benefit from I hat process would be greatly overbalanced by the injurious ef • feel of such paymetg., if made or proposed against the honest con | yictions of jmlilic credit. All the bonds that have been issued since February Ii; 1873. when gold became thi 1 only unlimited legal tender mfidalie 'Currency of Ahe country, are .justly payable iil girjll cr in coil' ofequal value.

In anything the new silver coinage to the ordinary i uses of the currency in the every day transactions of life and tire serving the quality of the legal tender power to be assigned to it, a consideration of the first im portance should he to so ah, just the ratio between the silver and gold coinage which now consti tutes our specie currency, as to accomplish the desired end of maintaining the circulation of the two metalic currencies anil keeping up the volume of,the two precious metals as our intrinsic money. It is a mixed question for scientific reasoning anil his torieal experience to determine how far. and by what methods, a practical equilibrium can be maintained which will keep both metals in circulation and in then appropriate spheres ol’ common use. An absolute equality of commercial value, free from dis turhing fluctuations is hardly at tainable. anil without it an tin limite<l'.Je#tA*fywlef tor private tm'nsacjgjoai assigned to both metvHs would tend to drive out of iijfcutntuMi Urn dearest cwna-gd at id ills Tj I fulfil t tjfc* principal ob ject proposed ny tin* legislation in view. I apprehend, therefore, that the two conditions of a near approach to ttit* equality ot the commercial value between the gold and silver coinage of the same denominations, and of a limitation of the amount for which the silver coinage is to be a legal tender, are ,*sential to maintaining both ni circulation. It' ilie'C condition' j an’ ; cessfully achieved, the issue from j the mint of silver dollars would ; afford material assistance to the j eqjjgmiunity in the transition to paper money and I would lacilitale the resumption : of specie payment and it* perma- I nent establishment. Without ' these conditions, 1 fear that only mischief and misfortune would i follow from a coinage ot silver i dollars with the quality of unlim ited lagal tender. Even in -pri vate transactions, any expecta ! tion of temporary ease from an ' issue of silver coinage to pass as a legal tender at a rate material ly above its commercial value, is. I 1 am persuaded, a delusion, nor , can f think that there is any sub stantial .distinction between an j original issue of silver dollars at i a nominal value materially above | their commercial value, and the i restoration of the silver dollar | at a rale which once was but has ceased to be its commercial val ue.'. Certainly the issue of onr gol<l coinage, reduced in weight materially below-it* legal tender value,'would not be any the le%s present dehasejnent of the coinage by reason of it* equaling ,or even exceeding in weight a good coinage which at some past time had been commercially .e quid to the legal tender value as* 1 signed to the new. issue.
