'l'he question of the succession to the Chief Justiceship is settled, and, as indi cated in this correspondence last week, Morrison li. Waite, of Ohio, is now the confirmed first judicial officer of the realm. The Senate accepted the third choice of the Executive with unanimity, part*' because they were tired of the con- and partly because they were alraid . ■ ■•quette with the President in his gnmr * t “blind man's bluff” in the ohoico of u successor to Jay. and Marshall, Taney aud Chase. The new Chief Justice has not much “record,” as the politicians say. Ilis public services may be related in a few lines. He ran for Congress as an independent candidate in the Toledo (Ohio) District against James M. Ashley, Republican, of impeachment fame, and was badly defeated. At the suggestion of Wen. M< EvnvtR, with whom he was a class-runto at Yale, Mr. Waite was select ed by President Grant as a member of the Geneva Arbitration to settle the claims growing out of the cruise of the Confederate steamer Alabama. At the time of his appointment to the Supreme Bench he was a member aud President of the Ohio State Convention, called to re vise and amend the Constitution. This constitutes his entire public record. He was not known to the American people in connection with the Geneva Conference as Messrs. Cushing, Evarts, and Charles Francis Adams were known. Yet it does not follow that he was not an important member of that body because of this. These gentlemen had long before achiev ed an international reputation as states men and lawyers, and it was natural that a new light would not shine so brightly in the presence of these intellectual suns. His colleagues bear testimony to his ser vices and ability in this connection, and say that Mr. Waite showed a remarkable degree of familiarity with international law and the precedents growing out of it. In politics he is fully orthodox, accepting the acts of reconstruction in the fullest sense of the dominant party. He is uot so astute ns Cushing, so learned as Evarts or so polished as Adams, but he will do. Mr. Waite is expected to arrive here during the present week. FINANCIAL—THE SOUTH AND WEST UNITING, Congress was occupied for tho greater portion of last week with the fiuauoial queatiou, but so far as results are con cernod nothing has boon accomplished The child of financial promise is still in the womb of futurity, lu the Senate tho prinoipal speeches were made by Mossrs. Gordon, Merriuiuu, Morton, Sherman Browniow and Bout well. Senator Gor don made a strong speech in favor of in flation. Ho contended that the great need of the country, and of the South particu larly, was more currency. The South, with its inoroased acreage, was poorer to day than in 1801, simply because of the inadequacy of tho circulating medium, Senators Merriman, of North Carolina. Browniow, of Tennessee, Wright, of Iowa, and Oglesby, of Illinois, argued in the same strain. Bchurz was in favor of re Sliming specie at a time to be stated by Congress, while Bout well was in favor of doing nothing, believing that any legisl tiou by Congress would precipitate auoth or panic. The most remarkable thin about the Senate debate was tbe agree inent of tho South and West on a distinc tive policy. Senator Wright boldly stated that tho West is coming to tho front as the dictator of a continental policy, and the speooh of Senators Gordon and Mer- rimau indicate that tbo South will follow this leadership. The interests of the South and West are identical iu tho mat ter of finance and transportation, and their representative men seem to he com ing to an understanding upon these great questions. It looks now ns if the West will dictate tbo policy of tbe forthcoming Senate financial bill, and that the South will earnestly support that Bcctiou iu a demand for more money. The West will uot only prefer a demand for more cur rency, but, with the aid of the South, will insist that tho queatiou of cheap transpor tation shall receive that recognition from the National Government which its great importance and growing necessity de mands. the cubrency question* is the house. In the House, Mr. Wilson, of Indiuna, introduced a resolution with a loug pre amble declaring that the busiucss inter- ing composed of those in favor of issuing legal tenders, those in favor of increasing the circulation of the uatioual banks, and those in favor of three sixty-five convert* able bonds, as proposed by Judge Kelly, of Pennsylvania. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VOTE. The vote on this motion has some geographical significance, and tends to hear out my theory about tho policy of the South aud West alluded to iu the preced ing paragraph. Now England was solid against it, as was New York, with three exceptions. Ohio and Pennsylvania were pretty well balanced, while west of Ohio the vote was largely in its favor, aud the South almost unanimously so. Fifty-four members did not vote. It will be soon that the inflationists numbered almost one half of the full House, and it will ho cu rious if this majority cannot bo brought to harmonize upon some plan embracing the principle for which it is contending. The Georgia delegation, except Mr. Ste phens, who was absent, voted aye. FIXING THE AMOUNT OF LEGAL TENDER CIR CULATION. Thursday the Ways and Means Commit tee reported a bill fixing the amount of legal tender notes at four hundred mil lion dollars. This is the amount fixed by the act of but the Secretary of tho Treasury has always withheld forty- four millions ns a reserve, thus limiting ihe amount to three hundred and fifty- six millions. The bill of the Ways aud Means Committee re-enacts the provisions of the act of 1800, limits tho amount to four huudred millions, and provides that this amount shall bo maintained in circu lation. Tho passage of this bill would do away with the reserve about which so much controversy has been had, aud would place it beyond the power of the Treasury Department to inflate and con tract when real or supposed emergencies occurred iu commercial aud financial cir cles. The hill was referred to the Com mittee of the Whole and will come up for action this week. An interesting aud significant debate may be looked for on this bill. CHEAP AND RAPID TRANSPORTATION. There are n number of projects before Congress to secure a better and cheaper meuns of transportation from the West aud South to tho Atlantic, but uono of them have taken definite form. They are iu a pulpy btate with the committees, but are commanding much attention and thought from loading members of Con gress, aud arc the object of much solici tude on the part of the people. A resolu tion submitted by Senator Morton will be called up by that gentleman early this w*eek, and as tho readers of the Enquirer are interested in this important question, I furnish you the full text of the resolu tion that they may intelligently interpret tho meagre account of Congressional pro ceedings furnished you by the Associated Press. Resolved, That tho Commiltoo on Transportation Routes to tho Seaboard bo instructed to consider and report a bill creating a commission of five eminent and skilled persons, to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, who shall examine and report to Congress what legislation is necessary and practicable in regard to inter-State railroads, to promote the fol lowing objects, viz : The speedy trans portation at reasonable rates of freight and passengers : the safety and comfort of passengers, by providing for the in spection of bridges, tracks, locomotives and cars, and tho reform of any abuse that may exist in consequence of extor tion or unjust discrimination iu the trans portation of freight aud passengers, and, in general, what regulations nre necessary to promote tho efficiency of railroads, the iuterests of commerce, and tho conven ience and safety of the traveling public. THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE. Mr. Young, of Georgia, introduced a bill and tried to have the rules suspended for its consideration, providing that all printed matter printed by orJor of the government, aud bearing tho official sig nature of a momber of either House of Congress, shall pass through the mails Iroo of charge until tbo first of July, 1871. Tho motion was rejected, yeas, 71 ; nays, Hi:]. Messrs. Boll, Blount, Rawls aud Young of Georgia, are recorded among the yeas. The Post-Office Committee of the House has a careftifly prepared plan in charge which will be received with more favor than this erudo eff ort of Mr. senatorial asperations are nipped in the bud. The conduct of the President in tho case of Texas shows that he is not disposed further to shoulder those carpet bag Southern governments. THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. Tho Civil Rights bill, in its eliminated form, will bo reported to the House to wards tho close of the week. The notion of tbe Georgia Legislature ou this sub ject was reported to Congress a day or two ago, and has had a marked effect upon mauy Republican members. PALED CUSHING Is making every preparation for an early departure for Madrid. It is reported hore that General Sickles, upon hie return, will enter the lists for Congress, in order that he may have an opportunity of get ting even with tho State Department for alleged bad treatment in the Virginias controversy. RUMORED CABINET CHANGE. Tho rumors about the resignation of Secretary Richardson have no foundation. Yot there is a growing feeling that Mr. Richardson is not the man for the head of tho Treasury Department, and it is not improbable that this current may blow him out of tho Treasury. Secretary De lano is named as his successor, and Mr. Bristow, who was named by tbe President for Attorney General to succeed Wil liams, bad that gentleman been confirmed for the Supreme Bench, is named to sue ceod Delano in tbe Interior Department.
