Views. He Wants the Currency Be deemed in Coin. An Excess of Revenue to be Pro vided. The following correspondence be tween Senator Jones, ofiNevada, and President Grant has been made public : U. S. Senate Chamber, Washington, June 4, '74. To the l'.-csidcnt : T w.asi so Wul' imnressed bv the clearness and wisdom of the iinan cial views (some of which you had fortunately reduced to writing) reeenllv exnressed bv vou in a con versation in which I had the honor, with a few others, to be a partici pant, that I cannot dismiss them from my mind. The great diversi ty of ideas throughout the country upon this subject, and the fact that public opinion concerning the same is still in process of formation, lead me to believe that these views would be productive of great good. I venture, therefore, to request of you that I may have a copy of the written memorandum to which I have alluded, with your permission that it may be ma le public. I have the lienor to be, very res pectfully, your tb.nlient servant, John P. Jones. Executive Mansion, "Washinton, D. C, June 4 . Hon. J. P. Joncf, United Stales Senate : Dear SrR: Your note of this date, requesting a copy of a memo randum which I had prepared, ex pressive of my views upon the finan cial question, and which you, with others had heard read, is received, but at too late an hour to comply to night I will, however, take great pleasure in furnishing you a copy in the morning, as soon as I can have it copied. It i3 proper that I should state that these views had been reduced to writing, because I had been con sulted on this question, not only by some members of the conference committee, but by many other mem bers of Congress. To avoid any and all possibility of misunderstanding, I deemed this course both justifia b'e and proper. With this explanation I inclose you herewith the memorandum re ferred to. Very respectfully, y. a. grant, memoranduji ov views entertained on the subject of desira ble legislation on finance. 1 believe it a high and plain duty to return to a. specie basis at the ear liest practicable day, n.ot only in compliance with legislative and par ty pledges, but as a step indispensa ble to national lasting prosperity. I believe further that the time has come when this can be done, or at least begun with Ies3 embarrass ment to every branch of Industry than at any future time, after resort has been to unstable and temporary expedients to stimulate unreal pros perity and speculation on bases oth er than coin, the recognized medi um of exchange throughout the commercial world. The particular mode selected to" bring about a res toration of the specie standard Is not of so much consequence as that some adequate plan be devised, the time fixed when currency shall be changed for coin at par, and the pjan acjopted rigidly adhered to. It is not probabjo tliat any legis lation suggested by n"je; would proye acceptable to both branches of Con gress, and indeed full discussion might shake my own faith lu the details of any plan I might propose, I will, however, ventiire to state the general features of the action which seems to me advisable on the finan cial pjatform on which I would stand, any departure from which would be in a spirit of concession and harmony in deference to cou fljflting opinions. First. I would like to see the "legal-tender ulause;" so called, re pealed, the repeal to take effect at a future time, say July 1, 1875. This would cause all contracts made after that datp for wages, sale, etc., to be estimated in coin, Jt would oorrect our notion of values, TJjp specie dollar be the only dollar known as the measure of equivalents. When debts afterward contracted were paid in currency, instead of calling the paper dollar a dollar, and quo ting gold at so much premium, we should think and speak of paper as at so much discount. This alone would aid greatly in bringing the two currencies nearer together at par. ' Second. I would like to see a pro vision that at a fixed' day, say July 1, 1876, the currency issued by the United States SHOULD BE REDEEMED in coin on presentation to any as sistant treasurer, and that all cur rency so redeemed should be can celled and never be reissued. To effect this it M'ould be necessary to authorize the issue of bonds payable in gold, bearing such interest as would command par in gold, to be put out by the treasury only In such sums as should from time to time be needed for the purposo of redemption. Such legislation would insure a return to sound financial principles in two years, and would, in my judgment work less hard ship to the debtor Interest thau is likely to come from putting off the day of final reckoning. It must be borne in mind too, that the creditor interest had Its day of disadvantage also, when our present financial system was brought in by the supreme needs of the nation at the time. I would further provide that, from and after the date fixed for re demption, no bill, whether of na tional banks, or of the United States, returned to the treasury to be exchanged for new bills, should be replaced by bills of less denomina tion than ten dollars, and that, in one year after resumption, all bills ot less than five dollars SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN from circulation, and In two years all bids of less than ten dollars should be withdrawn. The advan tage of this would be strength given to the country against times of de pression, resulting from war, failure of crops, or any other cause, by keeping always in the hands of the pcapje a large supply of the precious metals. With all smaller transac tions conducted In coin' "many mil lions of it would b kept In constant nse, and, of course, prevented, from leaving the country. Undoubtedly a poorer currency wU always drive the better out of circulation. With paper as legal tender, and at a dis count, gold and silver become arti cles of merchandise as much as wheat or cotton. The surplus will find the best market it can. With small bills In circulation there is no tse for coin except to keep it'in the vaults of banks to re deem circulation. During periods of great speculation and apparent prosperity there is little demand for coin, and then it will flow on to a market where it can be made to earn something, which it cannot do while lying idle. Gold, like anything else, when not needed, becomes a surplus, and like every other surplus, it seeks a market where it can find one. By giving active employment to coin, however, its presence can, it seems to me, be secured, and the panics and depression whichhave occurred periodically in times of nominal specie paynfents, if they can not be wholly prevented, can at least be greatly mitigated. Indeed, I ques tion whether it would have been found necessary to depart from the standard of specie in the trying day which gave birth to the first legal- tender act, had the country taken the ground of "no small bills" as early as 1850. Again, I would provide an excess of revenue over current expendi tures; I would do this by rigid economy, and taxation where taxa tion can best be borne. Increased revenue would work a constant re duction of debt and interest, and would provide coin to meet demands on the Treasury for the resumption of its notes, thereby diminishing the amount of bonds needed for that purpose. All taxes, after resump tion begins, should be paid in coin or United States notes. This would force redemption on the national banks. With measures like these, or meas ures which would work out such re sults, I see no danger in authorizing tree banking without limit. Owing to a surper-abundance of electric fluid in the atmosphere the telegraph is kerflumixst.

Pattee has been sworn in as a member of Doctor Johnson's Protectors of In dustry, the Bee may congratulate the country upon the dawn of an era of genuine political reform. With the Doctor at the head and the Governor at tjjp tall end of the organization, there will soon be an end to all corruption and bummer ism in our public affairs. The Nebraska Editorial Associa tion seems to be dilatory about hold ing its second meeting. The action of brother Miller and Frost at the meeting of last year, seemed to put a damper on the organ ization, and nearly all its members have secretly resolved never to be bored again by allowing two egotists to monopolize another meeting of the kind, in discussing per sonal grievances. We do not fear a repetition of the disgraceful transaction, and therefore recom mend' that another meeting be held, and that the organization be kept up. President Gere, a "call" is in order.

Specially Reported for the Omaha Daily Bee, br ths Atlantic Pacific Telegraph Co. Congressional. SENATE. Washington, June 9. Mr. Logan, by request, introduced a bill to incorporate a commercial railway with four or more tracks be tween New York and Chicago and St. Louis, with a capital of 200, 000,000; tariff to be fixed by a com mission, but not to exceed ten cents per bushel for grain, and thirty-six cents per barrel for Hour fiom Chi cago to A ew York. Mr. Conover submitted an amend ment to the House supplemental tariff bill, with a proposition to im pose a stamp tax of one-twentieth per cent on all sale3 of bullion, coin and stocks ; and one-tenth per cent on all option sales of cotton ; re ferred. The reports of the finance com mute on the army appropriation bill was received and agreod to. The Senate resumed the consid eration of the bill to amend cus toms, law appeal, and moities. Mr. Chaudler moved to strike out the amendment of the commit tee, confiiuing the forfeiture of frau dulent invoices, and to the particu lar item to which fraud relates. He declared the provision was of inter est. HOUSE. Washington, June 9. Mr. Donnan, from the committee on printing, made a report, with the testimony in regard to the cost of print'ng debates. Ordered prin ted, with the views of theminoritv. Mr. WaddeH said the majority of the committee believed the report ing of the debates cost $8,200 less for each House, than last year. Thatthereport of re-printing debates at the government printing offices cost at least $125,000 less than was pa'd Reeves & Baily for the same work last Congress; that thepres ent form of record is greatly prefera ble to newspaper form, that it would be the reverse of economy to make thepoposed contract to Reeves & Bailey. The Houso then proceeded to vote on the Louisiana contos.ed election case and after rejecting all other resolutions, adopted without division those reported by the ma jority of the committee declaring the testimonj' insufficient to show the election of either Pinchback o- Sliemlan, and permitting iheni to take further testimonj. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, from the judiciary committee :e jiorted a substitute for the Geneva award bill. Mr. Fry offe-ed an amemlme'it striking out the provi.-ion tnat mutual insurance companies shall be indemnified for looses paid, such indemnity to be divided among 3 ich members. J Sener reported a bill to abolish the Western District of ArUansas aud to annex Its territory to the Eastern District. Passed. Mr. Sener asked leave to offer a resolution directing the Attorney General to institute full and thor ough justlco of investigation into the character of the allowances paid at the Treasury Department and of the claims still due for expenditures at the marshall's office of the Wes tern District of Arkau?as from the 1st of July. S70, and report t!e re sult to the Ijoufee bii'thp'first day of May next. Mr, Haines objected, unless ho be permitted to offer an amondmont to tne effect that the department be permitted to be the ultimate judge in the matter. Mr. 83"er qbjoctcij to Uio nniond ment, and the "resolution was not received, Mr. Speer, a member of the com mittee of contingent pxppnses in the department of justice, addressed the House on the enormous ex penditures in the western district of Arkansas. Ho showed up the record of the Judge of the district and of Marshal Brltton and his suc cessor, Mr. .Logan H. Roots and showed tljein to have robbed both the Government ot thp United States and the people of Arkunsas. He showed enormous expenses of of the district, which in 1872, were for population less than three thou sand, were over three hundred and twenty-four thousand dollars more than those of aI New England States for the same year. At the close of Spepr's speech objection to Sener's resolution was withdrawn and the resolution adopted. Tho House then took up the Ge neva award bill, and Mr. Poland of fered a substitute therefor. Mr. Butler (Mass.) spoke In ad vocacy of his bill, and in opposition to any proposition to re-imburse the losses of insurance companies. Mr. Trcmaine spoke in opposition to Butler's bill, and asserted that it never could have been reported at all if the mutual Insurance compa nies had not been provided for In It; yet the chairman who had charge of the bill was to admit of an amendment striking that provision out Mr. Fry asserted that the com mittee were"delberately cheated in to admitting that amendment. An assertion whloh Tremalne indig nantly denied. After further debate the House took a recess.

The Citizens of San Juan Peti tion the Secretary of War Agaidst the Removal of tho U. S. Troops from that Is land. Washington, June 9. The citizens of the Island of San Juan have petitioned the Secretary of War against the removal of the United States troops from that island. They fear raids from the Hydah Indians, who have expressed a determination to regain control of the fishing grounds in San Juan Archipelago. General Davis in for warding the petition disapproved it, and says there is no danger what ever from Indians. The war party of Indians re ported a few (jays sjnoe to have left the Cheyenne ascnev reservation. has not made its appearanoe in the vicinity of General Custar's head quarters at Fort Abraham Lincoln, nor at Fort Berthold, headquarters of Bees. General Custar is rapidly com pleting the organization of his forces for the visit to the Black Hill country, which will occupy most of the summer. The contemplated excursion of hostile Indians into Texas, re ported several days since, has at last been lieard' from. 'A large party of them several days since struck the camp of one of the com panies of the 9th cavalry and ran oft' twenty horses without doing further damage. Washington, June 9. Tho President has signed the bill to extend the time for making ex penditures on mining claims, until next January. Tho senate judiciary committee has agreed to report against the amendments to the supplemental mining bill. The senate committee on mining, has reported adversely to incorpo rate the Columbia Mining and Met allogionj ponipany. Phe sahio com mittee reported, wjth amendments, the bill granting certain rights to aid In the construction of a tunnel under White Pino mountain. It grants 2,000 feet on the east side, and all lodes discovered, and not heretofore claimed; two sections of land at the mouth of the tunnel, and requires, the exppn'dlture of $250,000 dollars, within two years from the passage of tjieact, and the same sum pupji yga'r thereafter, until at least tour miles shall be completed. It is unecrstood that Sargent op posed the bill In the committee, on the ground that amplo facilities are granted by the mineral mining laws, and that this bill is only an egg to be hatched into another scheme. It Js generally reported that the House committee on Pacific rail roads, has becoriio thoroughly dis gusted with the demands for an In vestigation of the Central Pacific contract, and that a proposition is being dlsqused 1(3 soino members of thecommlhec to rebuke Luttrell for having presented charges with out having thp slightest foundation to sustain them, thereby wasting the time of the committee, and ad ding expense" to the government, and spreading scandal throughout tho country. Something will soon be done for the relief of settlers on the Round Valley Reservation. The Republican caucus last night was solely for tho purpose of elect ing a Congressional campaign com mittee. Senator Hamlin presided, and Parsons, of Ohio, and Lynch, of Mississippi, were appointed sec retaries. Mr. Starkweather, of Connecti cut, made the usual motion author izing the Republican delegations from several ettes (q dpsjgnate each a metiibprofthe committee. The caucus then adjourned, The advocates ot civil rights met with another defeat yesterday. Mr. Butler make his uual weekly mo tion to take up the -Senate bill and refer it the judiciary committee. A two-thlnls yote was required, which could not be obtained, there being 139 yeas and 80 nays. Last week only eight republicans voted against the bill, and yesterday the number voting against it was increased to twelve, and tl'iree or four of those votinir on the former occasion were not present to-day. The belief is expressed that at each attempt to get up the bill the number of repub lican votes in the negative will be increased. There are several causes for this. Many Republicans arc sjck and tired oT this continual agitation of the subject; others are influenced by the views of prominent Republican papers, who are taking a decided stand against the bill ; but the most potent reason for opposition lies in the fact tljat there is no doubt but what the Presidpnt would veto the bill in its present fornj. The true friends of the President have no dis posposition to force this issue upon him, but on thp other hand there are those who would like to put the burden on him. It Is very clear, however, that no two-thirds vote can be had, and, therefore, the only chance for the friends of the bill is to have the morning hour; after which they may go to the business on the Speaker's table, when a majori ty vote would take up the Senate bUl. New York, June 9. A special meeting was held by the Chamber of Commerce yesterday to consider the moiety bill now before the United States Senate. A. A. Low presided. S. B. Eaton review ed the character and progiess the bill, and expressed some fear that it would be delayed and not acted up on the present session. Jackson S. Schultz spoke more hopeful of its passage, but if it did fail he thought the merchants' condition would t5e worse than ever. He urged the merchants to go to Wash ington and use all possible influence to help the bill. Resolutions were adopt?d deciding that a special com- mittlM nn rovmitiA rpfnrm nf tlio chamber be requested to urge the imperative necessity for the passage of the bill. The committee left for Washington this morning. The New Y'ork, Oswego and Mid laud Railroad Company was adjudi cated bankrupts this morning. Brooklyn, N. Y., June 9. The match race between Gold smith Maid ami Judge Fullerton at jrrospeci I'arn fair grounds yester day was witnessed by fully four thousand people, the day being par ticularly line, though very warm. Betting favored the Maid at 100 to 26 before the start After the first heat Fullerton sold at 45 and 50 to 100 on the Maid, but his stock went down afterward to 23, and the last neat to 15. On the first heat Fuller ton had the pole and took the lead, the Maid breaking up several times. She crowded Fullerton on the home stretch, although he came in a length ahead. Time, 2:19. In the second heat the start was a neck in favor of the Maid, which she in increased to two lengths around the turn, and to the quarter pole on the back stretch she went up, and Ful lerton caught her, trotting head and head with her to the three-quarter pole; then the Maid put on speed and led him over tho spnm Uvn length. Time, 2:18. In the third head Fullerton broke badly, and was not stopped until af ter making the turn, when the Maid was near the quarter pole; the re mainder of tho heat was a jog for the Maid to avoid distancing Ful lerton; time, 2:28. In the fourth heat the trotters came up to the score seven times be fore they got an even send-on"; the Maid having a slight advantage of tho rest, which she increased: on the turn or back stretch Fullerton closed up, but could not pass, the Maid keeping threp quarters of a length ahead to tho home score: unit., -;ij. It was not stated on tho track this afternoon that Goldsmith Maid will be withdrawn from the turf af ter this season. London. Jnnn 9.

Tne papers statu iiiui. ne was last seen in the House of Lords on Tuesday the 2d inst, and the aflair causes anxiety and excitement It seems that the Earl of Yarborrough is addicted to drink, and that on Tuesday last the deputy sergeant-at-arms of the House of Lords, Injlioving him to be in a worsie condition than usual, coaxed him into a privato room and left him there. Upon the return of the officer to the room, half an hour later, the Earl was gone and has not since been seen.
