GENERAL BUTLERS VIEWS. FINANCIAL 'I -To the Editor ef the Botton Daily Advertiser : - In your paper of this 0001111115 J copy from tuft New York Tribune a communica tion from General Butler, containing gun- dry statements in support of his financial news, plausible, and doubtless entertaining to those among us seeking excuses for avoid ing their just debts, but sadly wanting in the ingredient of truth. A short space in your columns will suffice to make this appa - rent " jQenerai Butler says : "The first fifty million loan, of August, 1861, was issued at 7-30 interest, principal and interest payable in gold, was 30 taken and so paid. When the five-twenty loan ' was passed it made the interest at six per cent, payable in gold, but said nothing as to the currency ii which the principal was to be paid." - -( i This is entirely a misstatement! The first Seven-thirty loan was authorized by act of July 18, 1861, was for 250 millions, of which only about 140 millions were issued, princi pally through the banks, and so far from its being true that "principal and interest were made payable in gold, it was so taken and so paid," the act does not contain a single word implying that either principal or in terest should be paid in gold, and in poirjt of fact, not a dollar of the principal was sjo paid. The interest was paid in coin, and the notes at maturity were exchanged fir twenty-year six per cent bonds, now known as the six ph of ii o. vueurse iTafemenl The remainder is scarcely moiie correct me first Five-twenty bonds were ! authorized by the second section of the act of February 25, 1862, and so farfrom itsbeing true that "the interest was made payable in gold, while nothing was' said as to the cur rency In which the principal should be paid, the fact is that in this section, which alon comers upon the. Secretary of the Treasur tVia wna. A a A. m. .... " ur iu issue ouu millions of Five twenty bonds, not a word is said as to either principal or interest being paid in coin, pueciuauy disposes of the inference which General Butler draws from his mis statement, that because nothing was said as! tome principal while the interest was made no vrftlkls I 1 "1 it m r.v-wlu Kiuu, uicretore Congress intend-! ca mat the principal should be paid in cur ' ronfv Tt 1 ... j . s. uv mujjuugc or tne law is precisel v Biiiuc, oom as regards the principal and the interest, and identical with that held as to all loans to the United States from the or ganization of the government up to the date of that act It has 1 J piWUCU of the government to pay principal and in terest of the public debt in coin, and there is nothing to indicate that Congress at that time, or since, has had any intention of mak ing any change in the pplicy of the govern ment in that regard. If it had, good faith to the public creditor would have required that the departure from existing custom should have been explicitly stated. But there is further proof of the intention of Congress in respect to this loan. Section fourth of this very act provides for the first time that all duties upon imports -xivum ue maae payable in coin, (or in cer tain outstanding Treasury notes which had been made receivable for duties, and of wnicn no more were to be issued,) and the iaw goes on to say : And the coin en d,n i.. , i-u.u outtn ue set apart as a special fund, and shall be applied as fol lows: This applies to the interest upon all the I bonds of, the Unitcdf 6Utes-4the bonds of 100, wincu uaiz tuux ukvu pmu vixui gold ; th$ bonds pf jl867 and 1868, soon to be sq jjald, and all other existing indebted ness of the United TStates. There ia not a word in the statute to justify a suspicion that jCongress regarded the Five-twenty bonds in any other light than as all other parts of the public debt ' ; Let us now inquire under what represen tations they were sold by the government ; The question Laving been raised during the sale of those bonds, inquiry was made of Mr. Chaso,'then Secretary of the' Treas ury, as to whether they would be paid in coin at maturity. His reply was as follows: Treasury Department, Feb. 15, 1864. Gentlemen: Your letter of the 12th inst, relative to the funds in which the Five-twenty bonds will be redeemed, has been re ceived. j: I am directed by the Secretary to say that it is the purpose of the government to pay said bonds, like other bonds of the United States, in coin, at maturity, j Very respectfully, -M. B. Field, i Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Messrs. Barclay & Livingston, New "York. j Jay Cooke & Co., the authorized agents of the government in the sale of thise bonds, in their advertisement say : j This is a six per cent. loan, the interest and principal being payable in coin, thus yielding about eight per cent per annnm, at the pres ent premium on gold. It is called Five- Iwenty from this fact: that while the bonds may run for twenty years yet the govern ment has the right to pay them off in cold at par at any time after five years. These Five-twenties cannot be taxed by States, cities, towns or counties, Dc, &c. Spencer Vila & Co., authorized govern ment agents in Boston, say in their advertise ment :, When the government redeems these bonds they must be paid in gold. Brewster, Sweet & Co., also authorized government agents, urge the public "to in vest in this popular loan, where principal and interest are payable in gold." And other agents to the same purport. Of course these agents had no authority to bind the government, but these represen tafions were put forth in the columns of al most every newspaper in the country, and must have been known to the Department Can it be supposed for a moment that Mr, Chase would have allowed them to be made if he had any expectations that they would prove utterly false, and that the loyal people of tlie country were being lured by a lie to oan their money to the government ? But there is other proof of the opinion of the Department. In the Treasury advertisement of the Ten-forty bonds, put forth in Mav. 1S04, wnen the whole 500 million loan had been taken, this language is used : . 10 uciicicuiiiBi 110 securieiies nrrpr en great inducements to lenders as the various descriptions of United States bonds. - In all other forms of indebtedness tho fith Wlity of private parties or stock com pan - ocyuiuw; communities only is pledged lux payment, wnue lor tlie debts of the United States the whole property of the country is holden to secure the payment of uvfiu principal ana interest in coin. ito exception being made against the -a, ui wuicn more than five, hun dred millions were in the hands of the pub made no effort to sell the Ten-forties until one year later-ln Harcb: 1864. rhen the Five-twenties had long since been taken and some two hundred millions mors , of paper money; lssucu to prepare me mantel to no at a five per centloan. . To quote again : Now,-the Ten-forty loan was put upon the market by Jay Cooke,- as the agent of the Treasury ; and, if you will consult the files ox tne Jrtoune, containing the advertise ment of that loan, you will find that Jay Cooke advertised the Ten-forty loan as the only loan of the government, the principal ana interest of which were payable in gold. I hare made a somewhat careful search among Jay Cooke's advertisements in the Washington, Philadelphia and New York papers, and can find no such statements in any of them. I think it will puzzle the General to put his finger upon it in the files of the Tribune or anywhere else. The near est approach in any of Jay Cooke & Co's ad vertisements is the following, dated ATarch 28, 1804, in advertising the Ten-forties These are the only gold-bearing securities of the government now procurable at par, LETTER FROXQEN.&OQE11A.PRYOR.

McDonald : I enclose a commtnica tion whkh I beg you to publish in the Whig, It is a copy of a letter to a friend in reply to one from him. Truly yours, Roger A. Pryor. New York, October 5, 1867. My Dear Sir : I was apprised, before the receipt of your letter, that a certain paper in Virginia had stigmatised me as a "Radi cal," and had otherwise imputed to me sen timents inimical to the interests of the South. But the silly story I disdain to con tradict, while it rested on the authority of the irresponsib'e person who propagated it Since you say my silence is constiujd into a sort of acquiescence in the reproach, I em- This statement was true, in which respect PWer you to rePel the accusation with the it differs from that of General Butler. Again, the Cejeral says : If these bonds are payable in gold, why are they selling at from 108 to 112 in cur rency when gold is worth 143 to 145 ? Because it is the universal opinion of the peo 1 s that for several years the government - A i A . utmost energy ot indignant denial. I have not the vanity to imagine that my opinions are of the least consequence to anv one but, because they have been brought into controversy, and have been the occasion of subjecting me to some unmerited animad versions, I will tell you, very frankly and will be unable to avail of its five year's op- freely, in what relation I stand to the poli- A.

If it was the intention of Congress that these bonds should be paid in currency why did it in the same act which created this loan, make the custom-house dues paya ble only in coin, Rni BDecificalW 11 - . A J f them for its redemption t Where, then, did General Butler find his Will-o'-the-wisp, which has led him on into mi oog 01 repudiation I This same act of February 17, 1882, by iu first section, authorized for the first time the issue of one hundred and fifty millions of green-backt, and, in making them legal ten der, provide that they should not Repaid UrijSr PQbo and notes of the ted States) which .baU be paid U coin.' But General Butler urges that because the bonds were sold for currency, therefore, they should be paid in currency. To this it is enough to reply that the people complied with the terms fixed by the government in offering the loan, and now expect the government to Keep its contract in good faith. Each bond promises to pay to the holder a certain num hct of dollars, which the law defines to be 23 22k100 grains of pure gold, stamped with ',UHU ucvice uy tne united States. Tlie law" no where declares the legal tender issue to be dollars, but merely compels the com munity to accept them as such. The green backs are promises by the government to pay dollars at some future time not stated It is idle to say that the government could in good faith compel the holders of bonds bearing interest, to accept in payment only promises to pay the agreed number of dol lars at some indefinite future time, and bear- g no interest. No amount of special plead ing: can make such a course anything but flat repudiation. , General Butler further says : Again, in the following Con portion .of the Five-twenty loan was yet un takCn, another Ten-forty loan was authoriz ed at five pei; cent, interest, both principal and interest of which, by tlie terms of the act, wcre made payable in gold. This is true. The act authorizing nine hundred millions of 'Ten-forty bonds was approved March 3, 9865, the last day of the session of the Thirty-Seventh Congress. At that date gold was at seventy-one per cent. premium, and the credit of the government jmuch impaired. Tlie purpose of Conn-rP t- . na providing mat these bonds should be paid jin cojn was doubtless to stimulate the sale of ithem, and not thereby to justify the inference thatj the government intended to repudiate an tne then existing debt of the United Btaties, not one dollar of which, of anv sue, had been made by statute payable in ,2oini. No inference, unfavorable to the Five- twemtics, can be drawn from this act, which does! pot apply with equal force to the bonds P 1U7, 1868, 1871, 1874 and 1881. The farge amount of nine hundred millions was authorized in advance, to carry the govern ment through eighteen months -of war in tasc the loyal party should, as was then fear ed, lose control of the House of Represen tatives, i rency equal in value to gold. Again : T . . ... 1 j, 1 -1 j-ict us oee now your tueory would operate in practice. It would seem to be wise to ex ercise our right to pay these bonds, because, being untaxable, they are bearine. in fact an interest from one to three per cent, above their nominal rate of six per cent. But, if we snouid choose to exercise this right, ac cording to the Tribune's theorv. the govern ment ought in justice to pay, in gold or its equivalent from thirty to forty per cent, higher than any one else can buy them for, "It would seem to be wise to exercise our right to pay these bonds," when it is in our power to do so as we agreed. Until that In the first place, then, neither with poli tics nor parties,, have I the least concern or connection. On the downfall of the Con federacy I renounced forever every political aspiration, and resolved henceforth to ad dress myself to the care of my family and the pursuit of my profession. But for all that I have not repudiated the obligation of good cmzensmp. v hen 1 renewed my oath of allegiance to the Union, I did so in good iaitn and without reservation; and as fully understand that oath, it not only re strains me from acts of positive hostility to the government, but plederes me to do mv time General Butler's speculations as to buy- utmost for its welfare and stability. Hence, ing them up may go for what they are worth, while I am more immediately concerned to As to the issue of a new loan, as proposed by him, I am inclined to think that, if the well-pledged faith of the Government is violated by following his advice, he will see the South restored to its former prosper ity, 1 am anxious that the whole countrv and all classes, may be re-united on the ba- o.a 01 common interest and fraternal reeard as hiave the taking of the new loan pretty much A-nd this object it appears to me, can only himself. be attained by conceding to all classes the The country still remember the services of unrestricted enjoyment of the rights truaran- vrecerai uuuer during the war, especially in ieea tnem by the laws, and obliterating snowing ins ieiiow-members of the Demo cratic party that their allegiance to their country was superior to their fealty to party, Throughout the war he was ready to do what he could for the government, but it is unfor tunate for his reputation that his love for the sensational has tempted him into regions which it is evident he has "hitherto but care lessly explored. He should remember that the sophistries of the criminal lawyer ill be come the statesman, and that for nations as for individuals, "honesty is the best policy." Even more so, for while contracts" between individuals can be enforced by leal pre ess the contract of a governmenferests only upon ui.iA gwu iniin 01 ine sovereign. in tuis case, the people of the" United States, W.

Smith u a grave, dignified gen tleman, and withal a Presbyterian elder. A stranger would never Uk-n him thor ot the arnuang letters which hare siren speedily and as entirely as possible, the dis tinctions which have separated the North and the South into hostile sections. With this conviction, while I pretend to no part in politics, I have not hesitated, in private discourse, to advise my friends in the South frankly to "accept the situation." to adjust their ideas to the altered state of affairs ; to recognize and respect the rights of the colored race ; to cultivate relations of confidence and good will toward the peo ple of the North ; to abstain from the nrofit- less agitations of political debate; and to employ their energies in the far more exi gent and useful work of material reparation Ja-.-r.Mc: . vrn fc a-f ., . - .till 1 . f to the south, to inculcate this lesson of pru aent conduct, 1 have urged such arguments as these : That the negro is, in no sense, re sponsible for the calamities we endure that towards us, he has ever conducted himself witn Kindness and subordination ; that he is enntied to our compassion, and to the 1, fiance or our superior intelligence in tlie enorx to attain a higher state of moral A intellectual development; that ta assume he was placed on this theatre as a rnmnr.), ... humanity and a stumbling-block 'in the pro gress, of civilization, would be to impeach the wisdom and goodness of Provifl . that considering the comparative nnmlwrl of the two races in the South, it would be the merest madness to provoke a collision of caste ; in a word that it is absolutelv sential to the peace, repose and prosperity of the South that the emancipated class i,nii Ibe undisturbed in the enjoyment of their shshts under the law. ened to understand the duties and interests of social order and well-being. But it has appeared to me that the chief obstacle to a complete and cordial re-union between the ortn and the South is found in the sus picion and resentment with which the people i mjwm; sections regard each other. Hence, while on the one hand, assuring the North ern people of the good faith with which the South resumes its obligations in the Union T liorn tlim.nl.i !i 1. . ' -- Suwi uui amiss, on the other, to pioicsE to my Southern friends that the mass of the Northern community are animated by far more just and liberal sentiments to wards us than we are apt to suspect. And thus, leaving to others the ostensible part in the work of reconstruction, and ab staining studiously from all political con nection and activity, I have hoped in some measure and in a quiet way, to repair the evil I contributed to bring upon the South by availing myself of every appropriate opportunity to suggest these counsels of moderation and magnanimity. Passion, to which, in truth, we had abundant provoca tion, precipitated us into secession : reason must conduct us back into the path of dp uu prosperity. TT i .-I t 1 i "" ueu purge onr hearts of the resentments and prejudices engendered by Civil war; but until our minds be enlio-ht- ed by a philosophic comprehension of the exigencies of our situation, we shall never recover the repose after which the wearied spiril of the South bo eagerly pants. At whatever risk of personal obloquy, and and at whatever sacrifice of personal inter estand you know it involves both oblonuv and sacrifice to talk as I do I am resolved to employ all of energy and intellect I may command in the incessant endeavor to pro mote peace and good will among the people 01 tne lately belligerent States. What the country needs, what in a most especial man ner the South needs, is repose ; freedom from the throes of political agitation, and leisure to recruit its exhausted energies. The ex perience of the past six years should hare impressed on the mind of the American na tion this most salutary lesson a lesson soon er or later learnt by erery nation in the de velopment of its own history that civil war is the sum and consummation of all human woe. Protesting solemnly the integrity of motive by which I was then actuated ; yet I never recall the names of the noble men who fell in our conflict ; I never look abroad upon our wasted fields and desolated homes ; I never contemplate the all-embracing ruin in whidh we are involved, the eclipse of our liberties and the sinister aspect of the future, without inwardly resolving to dedicate all I possess of ability for the public service to the task cf averting -another such catastrophe, and to that end of cultivating a spirit of forbearance and good feeling among all classes and all sections of the country. These, my dear sir, are the opinions very briefly and dogmatically delivered, which I entertain touching the actual condition of the Southern States, and the policy proper for them to pursue in the present juncture. They are the result of anxious and conscien tious reflection, of much observation on the popular temper of the North, and of extreme and unabated solicitude for the welfare of the community 'to which I am attached by the strongest ties of filial dcrotion. With the utmost sincerity of conviciibn I believe that by a system of conduct in conformity to these suggestions, the Southern people may achieve a prosperity and happiness equal to any they ever enjoyed, while on the con trary, I am as firmly persuaded, that by a vain and impatient resistance to an order of things they cannot change, and to a destiny they cannot escape, they will infinitely ag gravate the miseries of their present condi tion, and besides bring down upon them selves calamities appalling to contemplate. I am not acquainted with the classification of parties, but if these opinions make me a " Radical," then lama" Radical ;" for they are deliberately the opinions of Very truly yours, Roger A. Prior. HONOR TO OHIO. The Republicans of Ohio elected their Gov ernor in '65 by 30,000 majority, and their State Ticket last year by the-powerful help of Andrew Johnson and Mayor Monroe a round 40,000. The extra 10,000 would pro bably have slipped away this year ; but, with an ordinary canvass and no unusual issue, they could not have failed to succeed on every ticket by at least 20,000 majority. They have not been cursed with corrupt legisla tors, as their brethren in other great States have been : thev were little distr.irt.pr? lw local issues, save that personal rivalries as to the pending U. S. Senatorship were quite ikely to hurt their Legislative tickets in sev eral counties as they did. They had sim ply to stand still in order to be sure of an easy canvass and a certain triumph. They chose nor to stand still, but to advance They were committed to the principle of Manhood Suffrage by the action of their cho sen representatives at home and in Congress ana by the logic of their position. When the Copperheads were supporting Vallan ligham for Governor and doing their utmost to break down tho War fnr ihn Union, th r-wUo v omu luc .Dialog 10 (jg, tneir best in the ranks of the Nation's defenders and the summons was nobly responded to. Denied a voice in directing the Govcrmcnt he fought to uphold, proscribed, despised, spit upon, the Negro took up his musket and went to the front, while Copperheads Mere fleeing to Canada and skulking in every di rection to evade the draft. Hence, the late Legislature of Ohio, by a party vote, passed an Amendment to the State Constitution pro viding that Color should no longer be a test of political rights that a Black, if a loyal, worthy citizen, should vote, and that a de serter or draft-sneak should not. That Amendment was properly submitted to the people, to be ratified or rcjectcdat the late election. Of coursp, it was understood that wc were to lose by it how much, could only be de termined by the result. But the lower half of the State, and especially the south-eastern counties, were originally and largely settled from Virginia and Kentucky ; and it was no torious that many of their Republicans would resist Negro Suffrage, while eveiy Democrat would do his utmost to defeat it. The Re publicans, therefore, with everything at stake, including Mr. Wade's seat in the Senate ac- i 1 . A 111 -. lujjiuu miaci, cnanenged an issue which they might have postponed, and thus trans formed into a hazard what before was a cer tainty. They did what was right and just when they could not fail to lose by it, when trimming and a low expediency would have insured them against all danger. They have faults that might have harmed them, but did not ; they suffered because they nobly dared to do right a little sooner than all who have hitherto acted with them were ready to do it. They have lost the Legislature they came very near losing their State ticket because they were in advance of their time W hat fools J" exclaim the men wise in their generation, who can conceive no other end of political effort but to secure and en joy power who test all things by their im mediate practical results" why not at least put oJ the question of Negro Suffrage to a more convenient season ?' as if a party, that has a genuine life, were not always sloughing off dead matter and educating the masses to consider Justice first, and Success afterward. What individual ever acted no bly without daring and suffering ? Who does not realize that the best acts of his life were those most misconceived, maligned, traduced, howled at ? If the Ohio Republi cans did not realize that Black Suffrage would be a heavy load to carry, they deserve less honor than we freely accord them. But they did know it. They deliberately chose to be right rather than safe. They chose to fight a doubtful battle for a great and good end, rather than accept a cheap nu certain out relatively unimportant suc cess.

A RKC&tGANIZATION OS" THE CABINET DEM AN DES BY jnE DEMOCRATS FEARS OF THE REPUBLICANS FALSE STATEMENTS ABOIT GRANT, ETC., ETC. Washington, Oct 18, 1867, Already we have had a visitation from ad vocates of Cabinet reorganization, incited by the success Of the Democrats in last Tues day's elections. Intell;g3ncc of the coining of others from New York and elsewhere has reached the city, and if the report can be relied npon, the President, if he still gives ear to all who come, is to be engrossed with this disturbing subject for the next two weeks or more. Three Democrats, influen tial and powerful in their party, have had separate interviews with Mr. Johnson on the subject within the past twenty-four hours, They say that the President must place his administration in inoie direct accord with the Democrats, who are his only friends; that the Democratic party has sustained him as against the extreme Radicals, and by its recent victories effectually stayed the hands of those who threatened impeachment and the instant deposition of the Executive ; that it would inspire confidence among his friends if Mr. Johnson should infuse warmer blood into the Cabinet, and to that end they sug gest an entire change, or that at least three or four of jthe present members should be supplantedi The fact that the President listens to these propositions, is taken gener ally as indicating a determination on his part to adopt them, and it is telegraphed hence accordingly. As yet there is no positive as surance of a disposition on the part of Mr. Johnson to bring new men into his councils, except in the War Department, as heretofore stated, though it is within the range of pro bability that, yielding to the pressure, he may retire some two or three members within a month. The Republicans here expect that the Cabinet will be harmonized in support of the threatened Presidential co ip d'etat, and they seriously say that the aspect of affairs is fraught with grave danger. They fear that Congrvss may convene in a bold and defiant spirit, and adhere to the declared pol icy of the extreme men, viz : Impeachment and suspension of the President during the trial ; and, since the elections, more than ever they believe that Mr. Johnson will resist and attempt, with force, if necessary, to main tain his (as he claims) constitutional right t hold the office urtil the judgment after trial. Others, however, argue that the effect of the elections has been to settle the grave question, and that impeachment will find fewer advocates at the next session than were counted in the last.

Wasiircgtox, Friday, Oct. 11, 1867. At the Cabinet meeting to day all of the members were present excepting Seward and Randall, who are still in New York. It w.-is intimated in official ciicles that the President would give to his Cabinet his ideas about a change in the Administration, if he entertained any. There was a good deal of curiosity to know the proceedings of the meeting, but after it adjourned it was gener ally understood that nothing but the mere routine business took place. Politicians here are begining to announce that no immedidate change will take place in the Cabinet. The President will do nothing until after the New York State election. The negotations between Johnson and tlie New York Democracy to heal up the quarrel between them, are still pending, at least it is so understood; but the fact is that Johnson is now acting under the advice of Seymour. Hoffman, Tilden & Co. As yet none of the recently threatened pressure upon the president for the removal of Secretary McCulloch has been brought to bear, nor has any effort been made to depose other regular members of the Cabinet. The President has not said to any one reocntlv that he proposes to make a change in his Administration, except in the "War Depart ment, but there are some outsiders, who know nothing of the purpose of Mr. Johnson, who are continually concocting new organizations of the Cabinet, and sending off telegrams accordingly, which they claim to have been authorized by the President. These unfound- uea assertMB keep financial m(n in feveri.-h solicitude, and gold speculators com-tanly on tne qui vive. mi . . ine intention of the President's friends in giving out that Gen. McClcrnand is likely to succeed Oen. Grant in the War Depart mem is 10 put a slur on Grant. It will be remembered that when Giant was in com mand before Vicksburg, McClcrna'nd com manded a,di vision under him, and wasremov- ed by the former was insubordination. There have been very few arrivals of Dcra ocratic politicians from Ohio and Pennsyl vania. A large influx was anticipated, but they are yet to arrive, It was expected that they would be here to make great demands of his Excellency. But the President has nad experience, and understands human na ture better than he did a year ago, and besides he has no offices now at. his command with which to feed the hungry, the Civil Tenure nf Office lill 1iti!n i t UIU utu ins nancia. uie ex citement is commenced to die off, and the only persoos who feel at all nervous are those clerks in departments who arc Baid to be re pulicans.
