THURSDAY, DEC. 12th, NATIONAL FINANCES.—Shortly after the war, Secretary McCallough promised that he would soon withdraw green.backs from circulation’ and reduce the ing, and argued at length that the ac : ____ backs isbued-for-the purposs of redeem. business of the government to a specie ~ basis. He has no doubt worked zeal+ ously to accomplish this end, and yet wé have neither increased the probability of the early resumption of specie : payment or benefitted the business of the country. Though the volume of currency is greatly reduced, green_ backs are not higher now than when hé inaugurated his policy. The secret is to be found in the fact that it is not the amount of greenbacks, but the ag gregate debt of the country that regu. lates, the price of government paper.— Even though the currency were reduced to one fourth its present volume by convertion into bonds, the debt would remain the same and gold would neither increase or diminish in value, only so far as speculation could inftnenée—and while the withdrawal of greenbacks from circulation does not benefit the government, it isa detriment to the ‘business of the country. In California gold and silver are our circulating medium, but in other States the national paper is used, having taken the place of State bank issues, Every dollar that the amount of currency is reduced below the requirements of trade embar--tasses business, Every dollar of greenthough no personal violence were used He reviewed the testimony at length tearing down of the cabins. . noru could occur under‘the-law without there was a breach of the peace, “and the marching of a procession with a band of music tothe claims and the notification of the Chinese to leave the cabin was not a breach of the péace.— He claimed that the party tearing the cabins down liad permission to do so by the owners and were therefore justified. He argued at length that where the laws did not afford adequate protection to community they were justified in taking measures for self protection, and instanced the San Francisco vigilance committee as-a case in point. He claimed that Chinese were a».nation of thieves, and that in this locality the cabins were ased-as-a resort for thieves, and that therefore the act of the parties in driving. them off was justifiable. Mr. Hawley followed for the defense arguing also that actual force was re. quired to constitute a riot, and dwelt at length upon the inferiority of Chinese and the evil consequences of employing them. : Mr. Sargent closed the prosecution by closely analyzing the positions taken by the other side upon the law, arguing that the mere fact that the parties were put in terror by overwhelming force, was of itself sufficient to constitute the offense. He also closely examined the testimony, and showed that the offense would unquestionably have been riot if white men were the parties driven out, and then, basing’ his argument upon this. ground, he went on to prove that the laws protected alike all classes, and that the fact that the Chinese were an inferior race does. not exempt the offenders from punishment. We. have not the space even for an outline of the argument of counsel, and only attempt to give a few of the main points. The case was given to the jury last evening, and they returned a verdict of GuILrty, but on a demand of the defense to poll the jury, John Carver answered that it was not his verdict, and they were sent back, _— INDIAN Ficut.—For some time past, says the Downieville Messenger of the 7th, inst., bands of Piute Indians have been gathering in Long Valley, amus. ing themselves by stealing and killing stock, and committing depredations of varions kinds. Having exhausted all the means in their power to peaceably get rid of them and stop their thieving, the citizens turned out to remove them, but found it more than they had bargained for, as the. Indians refused to budge an inch but showed fight, whereupon the whites procured reinforcements and killed eight, when the rest fled. Only one white man was wounded. More trouble ‘is expected. The fight occurred near Marshall’s place in Long Valley. . ing the bonds payable in such money diminishes the amount of interest which the government is required to pay and this decreases the debt and enhances ‘the value of government paper. Of course it would be a breach of faith on the part of the nation to issue green. backs and pay off immediately the entire indebtedness. Such policy would be unjust to creditors and would also . . increase the issue to such a volume that it could not be employed in business, but asthe debt comes to maturity it should be redeemed in greenbacks, and then no injustice will be done. In the issue of bonds the government has only contracted to pay interest to a certain specified time, and when that time ar-— rives the right to redeem in “lawful money” should not be questioned.— What is lawful money? Gold and silver are not, except by virtue of a law of Congress and greenbacks are made 80 by the same authority. The metalic Substance does not constitute money.— It must be coined first, and the same _ authority which says it shall be legal tender also makes the other. These facts are undeniable, and it follows that the credit of the government may be ~ Tedeemed to the letter by payment of! the debt in greenbacks. By such a policy the debt.may be rapidly decreased, and soon the necessity of so much coin to pay interest will not exist, and the present high and oppressive tariffs reduced. The, tariffs on many articles imported now aré more than protective, and they fall not as a tax upon the producer but upon the consumer, and the demand for gold to pay into foreign markets has been so great that business is. embarrassed. We look upon the proposition made in Congress to put a stop to further contraction of currency as the indication of a better financial policy, and we earnestly hope that such measures may be adopted to relieve the people of heavy taxation, and so adjust the tariffs and taxes as to make them come lightly upon necessary articles. DgaTH oF Dr. FELLOws.—Dr, E, Fellows, of Grass Valley, died at the Insane Asylum at Stockton, on the 27th ‘of November. Deceased was well known to many of our citizens as haying been engaged in the practice of dentistry in this city. Some four years ago he was stricken down with paralysis and unfitted for business.
