Mr - Boutwell ex pecta to fund a larirc prcp"rtioti of the debt at tour per cent, or less. 1 his can be done, by re- quiring tLe. National Banks to exchange fire twenties for the new bunds, and to use the latter aa the basis fwr bank id g Opposition is expect- edbut thtj Secretary ia prepared to meet it. If the lianks, resist, then he will favor the repeal of the National Ranking act, aud the adoption of a xree iiaoxtnz sisieui. ousea uuou tne uew OJausiDg uouaa. i ? - i Ihere will result from this! course a large saving of interest, which can be immediately op plied to the reduction ot taxation, bj abolishing the burdeuaouie and anooyiug peciat rates, and increasing the exemption allowed upon incomes. We hope the Secretary of the '1 reasury has indeed resolved upon this course, that if he has he will adhere to it, we have no doubt. Bank ing, strictly defined, ia a business which any number ot citizeus have the ri-htto undertake, under proper regulations, but currency issuing is a prerogative ui' sovereignty, to ic granted or witnncld aa the iuteresis ol the Sovereigu, the Pe -pie, may dictate. Ranks uow draw double interest- once upon .bonds and once upon cur - reney loaned. i i The argument made by Secretary limit well in his annual report, shows conclusively that this is really for trie inteiests of the People: but it does not follow that we may not equitably demand a lower rate of interest upon the bonds. The issuing of the notes is a1 privilege accorded to the Ranks, Surely then the people ought not to pay any more to their own, creatures for the -currency they grant them the right of using than is necciaary. -. , Mr Rout well, if he has determined upon this course, will be overwhelmingly sustained by the public, whatever special iuterests msy think about it. The plan is practicable, consistent, and effective- it is the one preliminary step," as we have frequently shown, absolutely necessary to the entire relict of the country. Belays are dangerous. . II the ptent Conrcts does not initiate this reform, and follow ' it ss rapidly as practicable with all tlie measures allied uit.it will have to give place to one which will. This much is certain.

From an advanced summarv of the u?et in formation in reference to the crops of the pat feasoit, furnished by the agricultural deportment, we extract some fact for general interest, j , In New Kngland iu September last, a failure f the com crop seamed imininent.

The only State reporting an increase of quan tity are Minnesota, Missouri, Florida. Nebraska. Kansas. Texas and California, LouLIaua and Iowa give nearly an average. The principle corn growing section of the West will average a reduction of fully twenty per cent in yield p-r ere. With all the increase of farms to pro duce, and population to consume, and with an actual enlargement of area and culture, it is cer jtaiu that there is actually less corn produced this year than in 1868.

G reensLoro Patriot. I ' A Singular Matrimont. Our 'burg was the scene of a most singular marriage during the holidays just.euded, and one which, we dare say, has bevu seldom equalled in any section. lhe circumstances of thi marriage are as follows: Ihirty seven years ago two loving hearts were united in matrimony. : . 1 wenty two years ago the same couple, from some cause, agreeing to a mutual dissolution, separated Three yea!is thereafter a divorce was obtained at the instigW tiou of lhe lady, i 2 he parties have not seen each other, ox bad any. correspondence, for sixteen years, Uu a certain day during -the late hoh days, however, this couple, still rememberiii r the days of long seo, met here by the merest ac cident.

Validity of CJoatracts In Confederate Currescy ' I Frens tae New Tork Herald, Dec. 24. i i ! '. Before Judge Barnard Mvrdecai- v. fV-S0we.--This is'a case involving several inter esting (questions arising out of the late war.J - It appears that the plaintiff advanced ruoueys to the defendant's son, at the instance of lhe de fendant, who! resided in Europe. The advances having been made iu the South during the war. Were of course paid in Confederate money. , The plaintiff now' moves that the case be sent to a referee for trial, aud the! defendant opposes the motion on ibe-gnrond thatna difficult question bf law is involved -the right to recover j advances made in Confederate money aud insists on his right to'trial by jury. . f ' . . t j" ! On the argument of the motion .the attorney for the plaintiff contended ' that 'the right of a litigant to recover the value in-', greenbacks pf any debt contracted in the moneys issued by' the late Confederate government, was fno ongcr: a difficult !qu est ion of law since the decision of, t he United States ' Sdprcme Court , in the cate tof Thorington vs.' Smith,' the opiuiou in which was pronounced by Chief Justice Chase a 'few weeks. go.' He contended lhatthe Court having there deeided that jthe i Confederates was a de fadd gtvernment in contemplation of public law, any contracts entered into by its citizens among each ther. iu the only currency in which they were permitted to deal, are just as cnforcibie m ine tribuusls of the tfnited States as contracts made in any foreign" jurisdiction. The amount of this claim had been ascertained by reducingthe"a3 vahces made n Confederate moneys to goldj ac cording to the quotable value of precious metal In the Confederacy at the time, aud then, re- duein? the trold into greenbacks at the quota tions of the New York markets for those periods duriogthe war.
