|jtrtijjjm(*tm. (flj FRIDAY..'. APRIL 24. 1MV «-!«,subschiptio!! motived I'XLua PAID FOB P ABVAUCT. Ws copy from tbs Montgomery ridwr- ther tbs President's rsto message. It wu among lbs mUsigbt (Uepatobeo. ITIPBIll AIO HIU. A vary aorimonlona controvany of • personal oh motor betwaan Hon. A. H. Stephens and Hon. Jtapj. H. Hill U pro graming through the nawapapara. It grew ontof Hr. Hlfl’a apaeoh to tba Hiator- ioal Society. Haring a repugnance to the pnbliaaticn of paraonal oontrorersiea, and foraaaaing no end to tkia one, conducted byanab roloble writers and ombrecing topica that may well land to a wide range of diaeaaeion,we ahali not copy the Isitera on either aide, bnt oontant onraalvee with atetiog tba paints at iaana. Mr. Staphana aaya that the. many refer- ancaa to himaelf, of a very in jntioua char acter, made by Mr. Hill, are uumistaka- bie, and that Hr. Hill's declaration throngh an Atlanta paper, that he did not intend to include Hr. Stapbena and Oan. Gordon in the olaaa of “intelleotnal im- baeilaa," comae fat abort of adlaelaimer that ha intended to include them among tba “Justm and negroes" who, he aaid, composed the present Congress with few exceptions. Hr. Stephens, after calling Hr. Hill a Barere or Hnnshansen, copies as follows from Hr. Hill’s late speech: “The foil history’of the Hampton lloada Commission aud Conference has never besu written. I will not give that history now. Mnch hss been Said and published on the subjeot whioh is not true. I know why each member of that commission, on onr part, was elected. I reoeived from Ur. Davis' own lips a full account of the conversation between him and the commissioners, before their departure from Richmond.’’ In referenoe to this statement, Ur. Stephens says; “It is utterly impossible that Hr. Hill oonld have known what be says be knew or reoeived from Hr. Davis. Hr. Hill was not in Uiebmondtduring the time the subjeot of the commission, or the appoint- uenl.of commissioners, was under consid eration by Mr. Davie. »He had left that oity before the conference or commis sioners had been determined npon by Hr. Daria.” Hr. Hill’s allusion to “ths fierce wsr which wss made in Georgia against certain wsr measures of the Congress and against Hr. Dsvis for reoommending them, eon soription and impressment especially," and to the “concerted movement on the Legislature assembled in eitrs session to array the Hlats in hoatility to the Oonfod orate administration," is denounced by Mr. Stephens as “another jumble of bald, reehlaaa assertions of, untrntha." Ur. S. says that “it was not done with n view to array the State in hostility to tho Confed erate administration, mnoh leas the Con federate oause,” and that its object was “to give a friendly guide to the uduinis tration on that line of poliey on which alone it oould suooeed.” Hr. Stephens also quotes from Hr. Hill's remarks about General Johnston’s removal, as follows; “I nevor saw as mnoh agony in Mr. Davis' faos, as so. tually distorted it, when the possible ne cessity of this removal wss suggested to him. I never heard s eulogy pronounced npon General Johnston by his best friends eqnsl to that whioh I heard from Hr. Davis during these discussions.” Ha refers to Ur. Davis' speeah at Ms- oon, toon after ths removal of General Johnson, in contradiction of this. He aaya Mr. Dsvis, in that speech, spoke of General Johuaton in “most disparaging and detracting terms,” and also stated that “he had detertainad to put a general at the head of that army who would at least strike one manly blow in defenoa of bis ooqntry." Hr. Hill's reply is in a tone equally bit- tor. Ha says that Mr. Stephans, in mak ing from his Historical speech ths extract Aral abova quoted, intentionally omit, ted tha oomme after the word “ conversa tion” (though it appeared iu the printed repori of the apeeeh), so as to make it appear that ho had stated that Mr. Davis gave him the aooouut before the depar ture of the commissioners, when the true reading of the sentonoe was that ths oou versation, of whioh Mr. Davis afterwards gave him an aeoonnt, ocourred before the departure. Mr. Hill then aooepts the issue of ve racity betwoen himself and Mr. Stephens, as to what Mr. Davis told Mr. H., and says that ha will allow no evasion or dodging. Ho says; “Mow, I stand before tho public respon sible, on pain of infamy, to mako good the following statements of foots : “I was not only in Riohtnond daring all the time “Ihe subject of the commis sion and tho appointment of the commis sioners was uuder consideration by Mr. Davis,” bnt Mr. Stephens knew I wss there, saw me almost dsily, talked with me, knew the interest 1 took in tho com mission, and oould not have forgotten them facts unless he has become imbecile indeed. I was at the man's room and told him Ihst I should insist on his ap pointment on tbo Teuco Commission. “It was at my earnest instance that Mr. Davis consented to his appointment, and that was all done before Mr. Hunter noti fied him of Mr. Davia’ desire to see him at IS o’oloek M, on tha 27th of January. Still further, I had promised to go to Georgia, on n special misaion and at Mr. Davis' speoial request. For this very mission Mr. Davis deemed it important that I should know all about the progress, prospects, and reenlta of the commission." Ho aaya that tba Commissioners left Riohmond on the S9tb of January, and on the 3d of February ho reoeived from Mr. Davie’ own lips ail that be stated in the address, and mnoh more, prepara tory to leaving for Georgia. Ife says that in his oontrovemy with Mr. Stephens he “raises the blaok flag and will neither give nor take quarter;” that tha pretenoo that he alluded to tha Gaorgia delegation in Congress as “negroes, knaves or im beciles" is too ludiorons to notiae; that “there is a purpose, coops and malioe in the ianoof voracity made with him whioh tha pnblio do not suspect, bnt whioh ho folly understands, and which time will developand that ha wilt “insist that tba issue thus made shall tolerate no eolation but proof, retraction, at infamy," A ttm CCBBKXCT. The veto of tho Oonwncy bill D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, wVl new iw>* oeive strong sapped. This MB iMncI yet bath directly rote# oa *in either , brsnoh of Congress, bnt JB fa vote in tbs Honto, esrerii weeks ago, in- 1 dioated that it was naeivad with ■nab favor. It would seem that tha pailr favoring expansion, If they daeiiw to mako aaotber struggle, most take either scheme m the free banking proposi tion. Tho latter, we think, would bo oppouad by tha capitalists and bondhold ers of the East even morn vehemently than the bill jaat vetoed. How they would bo Indiaed towards Judge Kelley's bill, we oeonot so confidently eay. The following is the MU: A bill (H. B. No. NS) tor the leeoe or w suw&mRauar 1 Be it eoaoted by tip Senate and Houuu of .Bapraaantativea of tho United Status of Amerioaia Congress sasenabled. That the amount of United States notes in dr- oulatkm ha limited,, asoapt as hereinafter provided, to $400,000,000; and that any holder of add notes presenting any anas not lorn than $60, or aome multiple there of, to IfcaTreasurer of tha United States, or any of tha assistant treasurers, ahali reoeivs in exchange therefor an equal amonnt of bonds of tbo United Stales, oonpoa or registered, as Stag by said holder be desired, bearing interest at tba rate of S.6S par oant. par annum, payable semi-annually, whioh tbo Secretary of tba Treasury is hereby authorised to proper* and furnish for that purpose; and that when any person shall demand of tba Treasurer of tha United Biotas, or any assistant treasurer, redemption of said bonds, it shall be tha duty of said Treas urer, or assistant treasurer, to pay in United States notes tbs principal of said bond or bonds, with scorned Interest, and oanoel and forward tbo hoods teas re deemed to the Treasurer of tha United Btetea forthwith, in snoh manner as tba Beoretary may praaeriha. Bee. 2. Tint tha Secretary of Treasury ahali aaoda to ba prepared United Btetea notes of tha aavaial de nominations now in nee to the amount of |S0,0<M,000, whioh shall be held se e re serve or redemption fond for tho purpose of securing prompt payment of said bonds whan demanded, and the Unltad Btatee notes ao held in reserve shall ba need only whan needed fur the payment of slid Loads on their presentation, sad shall ba withdrawn and plaoad again in reserve oat of any United States notes not otherwise appropriated, reoeived by the Treasury Department thereafter; and tha whole amonnt of United Btetea notes reoeived by the Treasury Department in exobange for aaid bonda bearing 8.60 per cent, interest shall be appropriated and applied by the Secretary of the Treasury, as rapidly as practicable, to the purchase or redemption of any bonds of ■ the United States outstanding at tha pasSUgs of this sot. Sea. 3. That national banks ara hereby authorized to hold said bonds bearing 3.65 per oeut. interest instead of tl|a re serve of the United States notea now re quired by law. Mr. Kelley, in his speech of the 24th of ■Tannery (for a oopy of which wa ara in- debted to him), contended that under tha. provisions of this bill the National Banka would have indnoementa to do bnsineae as State and private banks now do, be cause, whan banking on greenbacks, they would be released from the tax on circu lation, and wonid have BUS of banking capital.where they now have B00—obtain ing by the sale of their bonds 15 par cent, above their par or face valne. He said “If, therefore, banks and bankers oonld hold three sixty-flva convertible bonds whioh would be in feot the equiva lent of currency npon tha instant in every oity in whioh them is a sub-treasury, and alio be avail able as domeatio exchange, as they would be, between all parts of onr country, they would be receiving a profit upon their reserve; it would no longar be dead oapi tal but be prodnotive, and they oonld therefore afford to and would hold a lar ger reserve than it now nsnel, and give more absolute seonrity to their depositors than has been given by any system of banking that has ever prevailed within the limits of onr country, ’ Two difficulties in the way of tha whole some working of the “ inter convertible ” soheme have ooonrred to ns—1st, that tha holders of bonds now drawing 6 per cent, interest would not readily exchange them for bondB drawing only 3.66; and 2d, that the gamblers in money, stooke and pro duce would, under this system, have greater facilities for expending or con tracting the amount of the onrranoy to suit their own speculations or “oornara” than they now have. Mr. Kelley’s argu ment above quoted is intended forth the indnoementa that would infioi enee banks, at laaat, to make tha ex- ohange. Wa oopy farther from hit speech to show what enawer he makes to the suggestion that the gambling capital ists oonld use the soheme to their own ad vantage : “Cannot suoh bonds be manipulated by the capitalists of the oonntry, or by tho thieving gamblers of Wall street, whom no law or prinoiple of honesty has aver restrained ? This question is a pregnant one. The practices of these men cannot be too severely denonnoed. They have stolen greenbacks and gold, and atooka and bonds, as the Erie Railroad t len. The morality that prevails among snob pious men aa Daniel Drew, and Cor nelius Vaudorbilt, the founder of a Meth odist University Bomewhere in the Bouth, and their associates, is, as I have elsewhere said, so false and selfish that it wonid be spurned by moat of the inmates of ths penitentiaries of tho oonntry; and yet their manipulations of the stock and gold exehanges affeot tba valne of oorn and cotton In tha field, and of coal and ore in the mine, and every species of property throughout the oonntry. That this olass of capitalists would, if it wars in their power, manipulate these bonds, when issued, I have no doubt. Bnt oan they do it ? I think not; and in assign ing my reasons for this opinion, I addreaa myself also to the query of my friend and oolleagne from tbe Lehigh distriot [Mr. Biery], who inquired whether tha provisions of the bill I had tha honor to present should not embrace n proviso to the efieot that tha debt of tba United Btatas should not bo iaonaaod by issuing more three-sizty flve bonds than tha pre sent total of gold-bearing bonds. Though I believe snoh an event to bo impossible, I may say in passing that I aea no objec tion to inserting snoh a provision in tho bill. ------ “If there shall ba #860,000,000 of throe sixty-five bonda issued, or if there shell, as I believe there wiU, be #600,000,000 ot them issued within one year from tbe Urns the; may he promulgated, 1 want to nlatan t&gssssxzss?
