exact medium is specie, the recogniz
. od 'medium of exchange the world
over. That oh'tained, we shall have a
currency of an exact degree of elastic
ity.. .If there be too much of it fr
- the;Icgitimate purposes of trade and
ncomrut-rce. it will flow out of the
country; too little of it, the reverse
will result. To hold what we have
and appreciate our currency to that
standard is a problem deserving of
"themest serious consideration of Con
gress. The experience of the present
' panic has proven that the currency of j
the country, based as it is upon tne
credit of the couutry, is the best that
has ever been devised. Usually, in
t times of such trials, currency has he
come worthless, or so much deprecia
ted in value as to inflate the value of
-all. the necessaries of life. As com
pared with the curreucy, everyone
holding it has been anxious to dis
pose of it on any term-. Xowwe
witnes the reverse holders of cur-
reney hoard it .as they did gold in
fornter experiences of a like nature.
It is patent to'lhfi most casual ohserv
, er that much more currency, or rami
ey,.is required to transact the legiti
mate trade of the country during the
.',fall and winter months, when the
vast crops are leing removed, than
during the balance of the year. But
by the present system the amount in
the cunntry remains the same thro'
otit the year, resulting in the accumu
lation of all the surplus capital of the
'.'country, when not employed in the.

this surplus capital mut earn

subject to call it cannot be loaned on-
. Jy in part, at best, to the merchant or
.manufacturer for a fixed term, hence.
'ko-matter how much currency there
might be in the country, it would hn
absorbed, prices keeping pace with
the volume and panic, stringency ami
disaster, would ever be recurring.
Elasticity in our money system,
therefore, is the object to be obtained
flrst. and next, as far as possible, a
prevention of the u-?e of money in
stork and other species of specula
tion. ' INTEREST OX DEPOSITS.
To prevent the latter it seems to me
that-out great step would be taken by
prohibiting the .National Banks from
paying interest on deposits by requir
ing them to hold their re.-erves in j
their own vaults, ami by forcing into
resumption, though it would be only
in lesal tender notes. For this pur
pose, I would suggest the establish
ment of clearing houses for ymir con
sideration. To secure the former,
nismv t1:uis have been suiriresled.
( rj -l
mtst i which look to me like infla- i
' tion on one hand, or compelling the
....government, on the other, to pay in-
. 'terest without corresponding benefit--!
upon the surplus funds of the court-
try during the season when otherwise j
unemployed'. I submit for yourcon-!
- sideraiion whether this difficulty j
might not be overcome bv authoriz
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to
Issue at at any time to national banks
to issue any amount of their notes be

say forty percent, upon thebanks'de-'

United States an amount of govern
ment bonds equal to the amount of
notes demanded, the banks to forfeit
to the government, say four per cent.
on the interest accruing on the bonds !
pledged during the time they remain 1
with the Treasurer as security for the j
increase In ci culation. The bonds so
pledged to be redeemable by the j
hanks at their pleasure, either it: I
whole or in part, by returning their:
owu bills for cancellation to an ain't
equal to the face of the bonds with-
. drawn. I would further suggest for
your consideration the propriety of
: authorizing National banks to dimin
ish their standing Nsue at pleasure by
returning for cancellation their own
bills, withdrawing so many Urited
States bonds as aro pledger! for the
bills returned. In view of the great
actual contraction that has taken
place in the currency, and the com
parative contraction constantly going
on, due to the increase of investment
in manufactures and all the indus
tries, I do not helieve that there is
too ranch of it now for the dullest pe
riod of the year. Indeed, if clearing
houses should be established, thus
forcing redemption, it is a question
whether banking should not be made
free, retaiuing all safeguards now re
quired to secure bill holders.
In any modification of present laws
regulating National Banks, and a
. further step towards the resumption
of specie payment, I invite your at
tention to the consideration of the
propriety of exacting from them the
retention of a part of their reserve,
either the whole or a part of the gold

OOO.OCO. During the same period
there has been a much larger compar
ative contraction of tho currency.
The population of the country has
largely increased, mo.e than 2-5.000
miles of railroad have bpen built, re
quiring the active ue of capital to op
erate them; millions of acres of land
. have been opened to cultivation, re
quiring cipital to move the products;
manufactories have multiplied be
yond all precedent in the same period
of time, requiring capital weekly for
the payment of wages ami for the
purchase of material, but probably
the largest of all comparative contrac
tion arises from the organizing of free
labor in the South. Now, every la
borer there receives his wages, and
for the want of savings banks the
greater part of such wages are carried
in the pocket or hoarded until requir
ed for use. These suggestions are
thrown out for your consideration
without anv recommendation that

hnp'ins that the best mptiiod may be
arrived at to secure such an elasticity
of the enrrenev as will keep employ
ed all the industries of the country,
and prevent such an inflation rb will
put off indefinitely the resumption of

to be wished for hv all. and by none
more earnestly than the class of peo
ple most direntlv interested, tho-e

on this subject will have the hearty
support of the Executive.
THE CENSUS.
HThe ninth census has been com
pleted, the report thereof published
RndVdlsttihutpd, .and tho wirting
force of the bureau, disbanded. The
Secretaryiof the Interior renews his
recommendation for a census to be
taken in 1S75. to which subject the at
tention of Doi:gress is invited. The
nrifriul mrmstion in that behalf lias
met witfiTthe general approval of the j
country, and even if it ue not ueeuieu
advisable at present to provide for a
regular quinquennial census, a census
taken iuJSTo. the report of which
could Ite-'completed audi published be
fore the one hundredth ani.iverssry of
our independence', would be especial
ly interesting atfd valuable as show
ing the progress of the country dur
ing the first century of our national
existence. It is believed, however,
that a cenus every five years would
be of substantial benefit to the country
inasmuch a-our growth hitherto ha
been so rapid that the results of the
decennial census nre necessarily unre
liable as a basis of estimate for the lat
ter years.
THE BANKRUPTCY ACT.
I have became impressed with the
belief that the act approved .March 2.1,
1SG7. entitled an act to establish a
uniform system of bankruptcy
throughout the United States is pro
ductive of more evil than good. At
this time, many considerations might
be urged for is total repeal, but if this
is not considered advisable. I think it
will not he seriously "questioned that
those portion of said act. providing
for what is called Involuntary bank
ruptcy, operate toiucrease the finan
cial embarrassment of the country.
Careful anil prudent men very often
become involved in debt in transact
ions of business, and though they
mav possess ample property, if it
could be u.ade available forthat pur
pose, to meet all their liabilities, and
yet. on account of the extraordinary
scarcity of money, thc'3 may tie un
able to'meet all" their ohligationsas
they become due. in consequence of
which they are liable to be pro-trated
in business by proceedings in bank
ruptcy, at the instance of unrelenting
creditors
alarmed
People an? now so easily
as to money matters tlt
the mere filing of a petition in bank-
ruptcy by an unfriendly creditor, will
embairasand often times accomplish
the financial ruin of a responsible
businessman. Those who otherwise
might make lawful and just claims to
relieve themselves from difficulties
brought on by the present stringency
in money, are prevented by theirc-ui-stant
exposure to attack and disap
pointment, by proceedings against
them in bankruptcy. And beside,
the law is made ueof many cases by
obdurate creditors to frighten or force
debtors into a compliance with their
wishes, and itto act- of injustice to
other creditors and to themselve. I
reccommend that so much of-said act
as provides for involuntary bankrupt
cy on account of suspension of pay
ment, be repealed.
GENERAL AMNESTY.
I renew my previous recommenda
tion to Congress for general amner-ty.
The number engaged in the late re
bellion, laboring under these disad
vantages is very small, but enough to
keep up a constant annoyance. No
po-.-ible danger can ensue to the Gov
ernment by restricting them from
eligibility to office.
CIVIL BIGHTS.
I suggest for your conr-ideration the
enactment of a law the better lose
cure the civil rights which freedom
should secure, but has not effectually
secured to the enfranchised slave.

"OLD PETTICOATS."
A Thoroughly Reliable Aeconnt of the
Capture of Jcfu Cavls.
From the Lyons XY. "Republican:
Being lately ill that part of the State
of Michigan wbeielie the county and
village of Allegan, it was 1113' good
fortune to make the acquaintance ot
Gen. Benjamin D. Prilchaid who is a
lesideut of Allegan.
Gen. Pritchard was Colouel of the
Fourth Regiment of Michigan Caval
ry during tt e late rebellion. He was
promoted to Brigadier General lor his
distinguished bravery and militao
services. Most assuredly he is all
that your immagiualion could desire
in his appearance filling the beau
ideal of au undaunted soldier and
thoroughly able and accomplished
commander.
I was exceedingly glad to have the
privilege of making his acquaintance,
for he was the very man who knew
all the circumstances connected with
the capture of Jefferson Davis; indeed
it was he who did the very deed. I,
as well, probably, as yourself, had
read various ver.-ious of the capture;
some of them denying in the most
postive terms the generally accredited
accouts as we had it in the North,
and calling for vengence to be visited
upon the heads of those "inventors of
lies" who had put upon the world
the gross and utterly false fable or fa
bles. So you can perceive how pleas
ed I was to have it in my power to
know the exact truth. I began after
this wise:
Myself. General, I trust that you
will pardon my curiosity, but I have
long desired to know the facts con
cerning the capture of the Chief ot
the Rebellion ; and you of all men can
give them jift as they were, if en
tirely agreeable to you to hear them
from-your own mouth.
General Pritchard. Certainly ; you
shalMiave them just as tliey were.
Myself. Will 3u be kind enough
to begin at the very beginning?
Gen. Pritchard. With the greatest
pleasure. I was at the time in com
mand of Ihe Fourth Michigan Cav
alry. After the escape ot Davis from
Richmond, I received reliable intel
ligence, and which appeared to be all
ttie more reliable from the situation
and necessity of the ease that is to
say, that he would endeavor to make
his way across the Mississippi into
Texas, where he intended to put him
self at the head of his forces, still quite
strong, and around which he could
gather all his remaining strength in
the Southwest; and then still carry
on the Rebellion in those vast and
comparatively inaccessi lie regions,
trusting to the continued recruiting
of his forces from escaping squads of
his defeated armies in all quarters,
and from Mexican sympathisers, guer
rillas, and dissatisfied, reckless, des
perate and lawless spirits from every
direction, and not altogether without
hope of aid from foreigners. To reach
there he had but one way of e.-cape ;
he had to make his way from Virgin
la to Georgia, and thence westward
along a belt of country that lay be
tween our forces on the Gulf on the
south, ami 'our forces that occupied
Virginia, Tennessee and westward, on
the north. So I governed myself ac
cordingly and set my command in
motion, as if on the "double quick."
right through that region. We soon
struck the trail of Davis on the Oek
mulgee river iu Georgia. He w:ls ac
companied by some of his military
staff, and the chiefs of his Govern
ment. His wife ami the wives and
female relatives and companions of
sonfeofhis surbordinatea Were with
him. By the way, jut here, said
Gen. Pritchard. the w-ife of Davis was
an accomplished and splendid wo
man. Thus we foliowed. until we
reached a pmall village In Georgia,
where we lost all track of them. We
sourronnded the village. I made the
most particular and all manner of in
quiries of the inhabitants, but not
one of them knew a thing, aud were
properly astonished at my naking
thero- the questions"? if they knew!
Still' I had no doubt that they all
knew well.' 156 I resorted to what
never or seldom failed me : I got an
African alone, and he soon told me
where the game va3 to be found

under any circumstances suouiupa-.-ouiward

waited for day.
Iii the earfy dawn, almost before
dawn, an Old woman was een mak
ing her way from out of one of the
tents. She was dressed in a water .
proof cloak from her waist down ; the
cloak coming down so low as to cover
her feet. Around her body was a
hawl arranged and tied ;on herheatt
something iike a hood or bonnet, thai
concealed her face; in her hand a
pail. Asth- tent-door was opened a
female voice from within poke out in
loud tones: "Bring me a bucket of
water, quick! we want to wash our
faces!" and then, as if addressing any
.entries that might bp within hearing,
the voice said, in still louder tones
"Let my old woman servant pass and
bring us a bucket of water we want
to get up and dress ourselves." So
the old lody passed on, the one or two
more soldiers within hearing allow
ing her to make her way. but keeping
a bright eye upon her. Pretty soon.
a the old lady was going through a
biis-hy place, and b that means dis
arranging her water-proof, a soldier
j (ijs-overed her boots, and smnMhiug

more soitiiers came up, ami uegan in
quiz her ;i-k:ng her to give an ac
count of herself; but she uttered not
a word. Then I came to the spot my
self, and put some questions; hut not
a word said the old lady in reply. I
then advanced, took off her hood, un
tied her shawl, and exposed her boots
she all the imp making a.sto'ut re
sistance When I had succeeded in
throwing off her disguise, there she
stood a being that looked very much
like an elderly man.
" You are a likely old woman," I
said.
Not a word from the old lady.
" Who are you. '" I asked.
Not a word in reply.
You may as well say whoyou are"
I said. for you .ire my pri-oner, and
all your company. I will soon know
who you are, for you cannot e.cape.
I have a whole regiment of cavalry
here, and others are coming. You.
and all with you. are prisoners, and
nothing can deliver you. JXow who
are yon."
At length the ofd lady found voice,

This the "old woman" pretended
not to hear, and made no direct re

all manner of explosions agaiu.-t

"made war on helpless women."
"Who are you? ' the "old lady" at

I replied "I am the Colonel of the

"Just as I thought." was the reply
"making war like a savage on a

He looked haggard and anxious, a

could do. At lst, standing up fill
before me, he said "I AM Jefler.-on
Davis !" and then again commenced
railing out again:-t us.
I stopped him by saying "JefFer
son Davis, you and your company are
my prisoners "
In the meantime, (enntinned Gen
eral Pritchard, relating to me these
circumstances,) a company ,of Wis
consin cavalry had approached ; and
my men, fearing that it was a divis
ion of the enemy came to the rescue
and it being hardly light as yet. com
menced firing into each other. And
thus began a battle in which spveral
were wounded and some slain on both
sides, before the unfortunate mistake
was discovered. But little time had
elapsed, however, before a company
of Ne York cavalry came up. Ihe
soldiers of New York aud Wisconsin
were of course chagrined that. t!iej
had not been the flrst at the capture ;
and while my men and those of Wis
consin shed a soldier's tear over the
sad blunder that made them fire upon
each other, regrets were soon bw .1
lowed up in rejoicing over the capture
of the "Old Woman" the Chief of
perhaps the greatest and saddest of all
Rebellions.
