The Daily DSTews. WEDNESDAY MOBNINQ, MAY 30,1866. _ Mr. Spinner on the Nuttoncil Dunk Cur rency. Tho Now York Herald roccntly criticised, rather sharply, Mr. SPINNER'S letter on the National Cur Toney. Tho Troasuror thus replios in a vory in teresting letter : , . 3b the Editor qf the Herald : ... .", ' Mv attouliou has boeu called to an editorial articlo which appeared in the Now York Herald or Friday, tho 18th inst., headed "Mr. Spinner s Lu minous Views of tho National Bank Currency, brin? a criticism on my loiter of tho lGth .nat. io the Cashier of tho Merchants' National Bank 01 Memphis, Tennessee, which article, by He numo rous direct questions to me, seems to iuvito an answer. That it would have been moro just w jue to have printed, in connection with your com ments, tho whole of my letter, and that 1 have reason tor complaint that this was not aone, i think you will admit upon s repon?an! of tho '<>"<;' mid articlo in question. But, waiving a'l matters or a personal etiaractor, my main oUjeot, iii anaworing objections thnt may bo urged by toe proSs, from whatover motives, to tho nano mu banking system, is t.. advortiao to tho people tun fact, viz : that in national bauk notes we hnvo tno best soenrod bank papor circulating medium that liaH over boen devised. .,. .. _"_i. The Herald makes an issuo with the rema? that the uotes of a national bank that has tanto aro "rather bettor thau thoso of a bank in goou standing;" but my explanation as to why they aro bettor was not given, to wit: "if away from o business marts or commercial centres 01 "?" country, for thb reason that tho Treasurer ot toe United States becomes tho cashier ot ?ucli tie faulting bank, and will, through hulaaaiatann and all other Government officers, rodoom soon circulation" If the circulating notes ot ?ban? in good Standing must be sont to some dis ant place for redemption, tho notes of a defaulting bank, being redeemable at over four hundred different Government officoa scattered throughout the country, at thoir fuco value, aro obviously "rather bettor than those of a bank in good stauu ing." Your article further saya: "Mr. Spinner's correspondent salis a very pcru ' nont question, upon which tho Treasurer does not throw much light. Ho inquires what security tue noteholders would havo in the event of the banns failing, and the bonds deposited should not realize enough to redeem tho irculation in oonsoquonee or tho decline in tho securities. Is the govern ment bound to rodeom the notes at par, notwitn etandiog the bouda deposited should not realizo a sufficient Binn ?Vith which to redeem them ? that is tho question. Mr. Spinner doea not answer it directly. Ho simply ?ave tho government has a first and permanent [by mc written ?paramount j lion upon all tho asaots of a dofaultiug bank, to 1 supply tho deficienoy. But, Mr. Spinner, suppose there were no assets-and it is not likely tuero . would be, in a general panic nr smash up-would tho United States be bound to mako up tho 'defici ency out of the Troaaury ? This is the question tho correspondent put, and the question which ?, has not been answered." Yon subsequently remark : ' "If we rightlv remember tho act creating theso banks, the Government is not bound to the uote holdore beyond what it can realize out of tho banks. No Congress could bo stupid enough, surely, to pass a law making it responsible beyond that. * * * With all reaped to Mr. Treasurer Spinner, we think tho legal tender is hotter and ; moro soonre than the national bank note; for the , Government is bouud for that to ita full valuo, whatover crisis may come." Now, I did anawer the question of my corros * ' pondent, which you state "in the abovo quotation that I failed to answer, and tho reply was in theso 7 words : "I, tnerefore, answer this question afbr 1 mativoly." . As to the law creating this system and provid ing for the rodomptiou of national bank notes, it does appear from your statement of it that a ; "more luminous" exposition than has been j;iven ? by either of us might bo acceptable to notehold ers. In the forty-soveuth socMon of the National Currency act it is provided that in caso ol' the failuro of a national bank "tho Comptroller shall deolare the United Siatea bonds and securities pledged by euoh association forfeited to the United States, and the aamo shall thereupon bo forfeited accordingly; and thereupon tho Comp troller shall immediately givo notice, iu such man ner as the Secretary of tho Treasury shall, by general rti'o-? oroilierwiae, direct, to tho holders . of the circulating notos of such association, to present them for payment at the Treasury of tho "' Unitod States, and the samo shall bo paid as pro -' Bunted in the lawful money of tho United States. ; * * * ____<_ for any deficiency iu the proceeds of the bonds nlodytd by such association tho United States shall have a first mid paramouut Hen upon all assets of nm-h association." It seems clear ouough in at the notes of a na ;. tional bank in liquidation are liabilities of the Government and aro redeemable at sight by each and all of the hundreds ol'designated depositaries of the United Staten; and mort people in commer cial oircles understand this liability of and cer tainly of redemption by tho Government. Tho United States is ihoteforo clearly legally bound to redeem every dolUr of the circulation of a de faulting national bank. The Government virtu ally und or ta lut s that ita six per cent, gold interest bearing bunda -and any other of its bonds made of equivalent value-deposited by national banks to Becuro the redemption of their circulat ing notes-shall not depreciate moro than the ? difference between such par value of the bonds at '' which they aro received and tho leaser amount ot circulating, notes issued to the bank thereon, i and that if they do tho Government guaran tees to mike good tho deficiency to the note holder. It agrees to redeem all such notes from its own funds in tho Treasury at par, and this, too, whether the aocuritie* deposited for that pur pose, with the sums that, may be afterwards re alized from the aeaets of such defaulting banks, ! shall be sufficient or not. In other words, the Government does not act in the capacity of a joint ; trustee of the national banka and the holders or their notes to pay the latter such suras as it may realizo from the wales or tho securities of thefor mor; but it utanda as the perfectly seeured endor . ser of every circulating noto issued hy a national bank. The faot that all national bank notes are a legal tender to the Government for all dues ex cept customs, would bo sufficient to establish this 3 liability, eveu if thoro had been no positive enact : ment of a mandatory character, such as is con ,. tained in eectiou rnrty-HOvon or the law above quoted. Such is the opinion of the honorable Secretary of the Treasury, tho honorable Comp troller of the Currency, and of o very other person With whom I have couversod who has given the matter attention. In this connection I dosiro to state another fact not generally undent od; that is, that on account of tho poraoi al liability clause io the act on the failure of a national bank the whole "capital stook" of the bank, fr m tho "liability" of the bank to its stockholders, immediately becomes an "unset" to ile creditors. As an exaroplo, showing public faith in commer cial oircles and among till claims in the ?eenrity of the system, and how tbis matter is nnderatood and how it works, I instance the caso of the First National Bank of Attica, New York, which railed more thau fourteen months since. Notice was immediately given, in every possible way. that the circulating notes or that institution would bo re deemed by all Government depositaries on pro Dentation; yet to day tno avail? of the accrued in terest stone on thn Government securities pledged for the redemption ol theue note? exceeds by over one thousand dollars tho amount of tho notes of that bank HS yet presented fr redemption. It will not take long at this rate to redeom tho whole circulation ?r this ba"k, without touching tbo principal of tho aecuritioe doposited for that purpose, or any other SBset of tho defaulting banu. It ?B therefore asserted that after a na tional bank fails to redeem its circulating notes, tho se nrity t > tho i illhoidor or auch bank there upon becomes precisely (hut or a holder or the lo 8ni tender i.otea of the Ui.itod States. , Hoping that I have made myself understood, and that every question put to mo in the letter re rorred to or in your aniciu has been satisfactorily answered, and with mil faith that yon will in your paper pot mo and tho subjoct right in the eyes o? the public, lam, veryreBpootfully, yr.urs, 1 P.

Worth's Message to ttte North Carolina Convention. Tho following is Governor WonTii'e Meesago, recontly Bent in to tlio Convention of Nortb Caro lina: Gentlemen of the Convention t ? Siuco your adjournment last October, nothing has como to my knowlodgo touching our position in rcfercuco to the Federal Goveriiniont, which in not matter of publie history. At your previous Hcesion you mndo tho requisite amendments to the constitution, and passod tho ordinances be hoved to bo ncccssiirv to a complete reconciliation with tlio United States mid our restoration to national fratoruity. Although our people, with remarkable unanimity, yielded their assent to vonr action, and wero rondy, without any excep tion within my knowledge, to acknowledge "their ni lcRianco to tho United 8tatc8? and to obev tho laws und coiiHtitution thorcot, wo have "hcou Hiiovously disappointed by tho rejection ol' our member? from tho CoiiRress of tho nation. Tliiu rejection has not boen placed on tho ground of any irrc'Kularity in their election or qualification. Willie Contres- rocoguizos tho o-istenco of tho State government to the eflbot ol' incorporating into tho coiiHtitution of tho United States our amend ments maiio thorcof, thoy contiuuo to govorn and to levy tuxes without allowing \\B any participa tion in making tho laws or imposing tho national taxes. Congress has hoon sitting for aomo livo months without providiug any torniB on which it is proposod to recognize our admission. We have, elected mon whom wo boliovo.to bo as loyal as any men iu tho United States, ovory ouo of whom la" borod to preservo tho Union until hostilities lind actually commencod, and ovory ono of thom has ronowod or i<? ready to renew hi? oath of fidelity to the government of tho Unitod Status. Whothcr any ono of them could conscientiously swoar that he novor aided or sympathised with tho rebellion, I do not know. If no member eau bo received from the States lately iu rebellion without taking tho CongrcBHional test oatb, it will amount to prac tical disfianchlsement. It was presumed when you adjourned in Octobor last, that by this time tho Uiiiou would have been fully restored, or that Congress would have doline- its policy of restora tion. Neither event has occurred. Neither tho President nor Congress has yet mado known nuy further requirements. I havo no information which warrant? me in making any suggestions to you as to any further action which you may prop erly talco tending to produco tho desired harmony botwecn us; so act an to retain our self-respect, and givo to our lato onemies no just grounds for tho continuance of ill will agaiust us. National pmspority cannot bo restored until reconciliation and concord shall be re-established. If bittor iiosa is to bo continued, Jot all of us strivo to co operate with the President iu his patriotic plans and refrain from giving any just oxcuae for the continuance of such feeling, aud I hope the day is not far distant when the Northern people will become satisfied that their distrust of UB is un founded, and that tho religion we profess, as well as publie policy, domain! mutual forgiveness and reconciliation. I herewith enclose a communica tion from the public Treasurer, suggesting cer tain amendments to the rovonuo acts of the last General Assembly. I commend his recommenda tion to your favorable consideration. In conse quence of the order of the President of the United States rolioving tho Provisional Govornor, I entered upon the discharge of my duties as Civil Governor, in conformity with your ordinance, on the 28th day of December last. I had to en counter somo irregularities growing out of tho transition, but with the universal desire of the ueoplo to restore order, no serious difficulties have presented themselves in putting into action the machinery of civil government in the State. In my offloial correspondence and intercourse with the oxecutivo officers of the United Statca and with Brevet Major-General Buger, the mili tary commandant of this State, all have exhibited a uniform disposition to avoid unnecessary jar rings in the c1 ??charge of our respective duties, and a readiness to co-operate with mo in every thing tending to restore the'cordial r?conciliation between .the lately belligerent sections of our country. I learn from General Buger, to whom the President of the United State-? fias lately as signed the chief supervision of the Freedmeu's Burean in this State, that he wo lid gladly give to the civil courts of the Statoa full jurisdiction in all matter? rotating to frcedmen, but that ho fuels embarrassed in doing BO consistently with his in structions on i> ceo .pit of certain provisions and conflicting constructions of the act of the General Assembly, passed at It? late session, entitled "An aot concerning negroes, persons of color or of mixed blood," Ac His difficulties aro understood to grow oat of the ninth and eleventh sections of the act. As it is very dosirable that the civil courts shall moto out uniform justice to all, white and black, according to law, and that all cause of dissatisfaction as to co- fliot of jurisdiction should be avoided, I recommend the subject to your con sideration. My relations to your body as I con ceive, do not warrant me in submitting any recommendation whatever in reference to the scope of your action. Heneo I had not intended, until your call of yesterday, to submit any mes sage whatever. Having the fullest confidence in your wisdom I could not obtrude my views or wishos on you. May God guide your councils to results beneficial to our unhappy country. JONATHAN WORTH. Important Decision ?Uespeeting American Property Owners located in n Foreign Country. Ia the lato United States and Colombia Com mission the ease of Augustus O. Fretz involved a question BO important as to excite general discus sion among the diplomats. It was argued by Mr. 8. S. Cox for the claimant and by Mr. Carlisle for Colombia, and subsequently, on a difference of opinion between the commissioners, it was argued ia printed brief by Colonel Biddle, Commissioner for the United States, and General Salzar, Com missioner for Colombia, and the umpire, Sir Frederick Bruce, has deoided that Fretz, though holding property on the Isthmus of Panama, was a citizen of tho United States for the purposes of tho convention. He owned the Ocean Hotel on the Isthmus, wbioh was. destroyed by the famous riot of April 16, 1856, and it was urged that the temporary roaidonce there and the owner ship of real estate gave color to bis nation ality, 'and made bim a New Granadian citizen. His original domioil was in tho United States, and it was held by the claimant's coun sel that Fretz never abandoned it; that he con tinued his reuidenoa iq .pennsylvania, where he was born, even whoa herbad his place of business in Han Francisco, and that he never dwelt in Pan ama, but was only there as an agent of a company domiciled elsewhere. The umpire decided that ho was an American citizen, and that bo was entitled to compensation for the destruction of his proper ty, of whatever description, the more so as that property waa intimately connected and supple mentary to the neceseitiOB oroated by tho transit ronte-thii preservation of good order and peace along which mate tho Ropublio of New Granada declares to be the foundation of its liability in this olass ni; cases. To a share of that protection and to cm? pensai ion for damages resulting from the want of it this hotel property is equitably entitled. The umpire quoted the case of Pao flee, a British sni.jecf, whoa-, boase in Greeco was destroyed, and held that ownership of the house, coupled with long residence, did not render him constructively a ?abject of Oreeco as to matters affecting that property, nor doprivo him of the right of protec tion and full compensation whioh he claimed as a British subject. a ? a A PB_TTY RAILROAD -Tony -The Providence (R I.)

[From the Washington Intelligencer, Mag 25.] Tho recont rcroroncoi to tho trial or Mr. Davm have called public attention to this subject, which very naturally in a lnrgo degreo interests tho public mind. Tho indictment, in the usual form for troason, has boen found by the Grand Jury, in tho United Slates Circuit Court at Norfolk. Mr. Davis is indicted under tho act of 17!H), auder which tho penalty, nu co .viclion, is death. He could have boen indicted under tho act of July ;il, 1801, fur a seditious conspiracy, the lmni-dimerit of which is a fino not over 15000, ana Imprison? mont, with or without hard labor, not over fix yoais. Ona of tho most important points Is tho drawing of tho petit jury who aro Oller gell with tho trial of tho prisoner. The jury is lo be drawn according to lot or nthorwNo, according lo the mode practised in tho Stale for selectng jurie? for tho highest courts of law. Tho number Of jurors to ho summoned is loft to the discretion ol' tho Court, as at common law. The set ol' July 1(5, 1802, ropoats so much ol' the act of 178!) :is ro* quiroH, iu cuses punishahln with death, that twelve petit jurors bo summoned from tlio county whore tho Ofwnoa was committed. Under the act of Juno 17, 1862, no person is allowed to sit on tho jury who was in anydogroo of complicity with tho rohellion. This is an act of controlling impor tance, besante it insures that the trial shall bo before a loyal jury. Mr. Davis cannot bo tried by imy of his confederates. Hif fato will rest otitiro ly with hie political opponents. Tho jurv must bo unanimous or there cm bo no vordict. This i? tho Invariable rulo of tho common law, and has oxisled timo whereof tho memory ? f man runneth not to tho contrary. Tho presiding judge can rulo authoritatively on questions of evidence aa thoy may arise in tho progress of tho trial ; but as tho jury always, in criminal casos; return a general verdict of guilty or not guilty, thoy aro practically the judges of tho law as well IIB the fact, and thcro is no appeal from their decision. There has noyer boon any ox ?option to this prin cipio in tho common law, except that in cases of libel it lind frequently been determined by the Court of King's Bench that tho only question tor tho consideration of tho jury iu criminal prosocu tionsfor libel was'the fact of publication and th*t of tho innuendoes, aud that tho Court alone was competent to determine whether the subject of tho publication was or was not a libel. And it was for this ruling of Lord Mansfield that the cele brated Junius so bitterly attacked Lord Manfield. Lord Camden, the friend of liberty, differed from Lord Mansfield, aud tho matter was finally put to rest by tho memorable act of Parliament 02, George III., known as Mr# FOX'B aot, which de termined tho law against Lord Mansfield's judg ment, by expressly recognizing tho ri lit of tho jury to determino the facts and law of the caso by a general vordict of guilty or not guilty. Tho trial eau only end in ouo of three WAVB: 1. By vordict of guilty. 2. By vordict of not guilty. 3. By tho inability of tho jury to agree In tho ovont of this third alternative arising tho first question which will ariso is whether Mr. Da vis will bo entitled to bail. Tho Constitution pro vides that "in all criminal prosecutions the accu sed shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial." In determining whether Mr. Davis, aftor more than a year's close imprisonment, would be entitled, iu tho ovont of the disagreement of tho Iury, to be discharged un bail, would bo a quea ion of legal discretion, to bo determined by tho judge. By the colobrated Habeas Corpus Act of 31 Charles II., it was provided, sixth, "that every person committed for treason or felony, shall, if lie rociuiro it, tho first week of the next term, or tbo llrat day of tho next session of Oyer and Ter miner, bo indicted in that term or session, or elao admitted to bail, unless tbo king's witnesaes can not he pnduoed; and if not indicted and tried in tho second term or session, he shall bo discharged from his imprisonment for snoh imputed offence." It is not likely our judges would take a less favorablo viow of the prisoner's application than in the rule furnished by this statute. The seri ous question would bo, how many terms of the court have passed since tho prisoner was first ar rested? His counsel would, in all probability, contend that by intendment of law the United States courts were holding their regular terms for tho last twelve months in the State of Vir ginia, or at least might have donoso. A further provision of the Constitution might, perhaps, also, in the event or a disagreement of tho jury, bo invoked in behalf of the prisoner-that ono which auts forth as follows: "Nor shall any per son be subject, for tho samo ofT?nco to be twioo put in jeopardy of lifo or limb." Tho moaning of ibis rule is, that a defendant is iu legal jeopardy tbo moment a petit jury is charged with tho deci sion of his caso. But, though there lias been bomo difference or opinion on tho point, it may bo assumed that when the iury aro discharged from the further and final decision of the case, because of their inability to agree, the prisoner may be hold to be triod anew. At one time in England, where the jury could not agroe on a capital caso, the judge, lUBtoad of discharging them at the ond of the term, had them carted around the circuit with him. This practico, howovor, ia exploded. In case, then, of the inability of the jury to agree, tho utmost tbo prisonor could ask, from that fact alone, would be the right to bo out of prison on bad. General Grant on Roconatructlon. We find in the Lewiston (Maine) Journal nome notes made by the editor of an hour's intcrviow with General GRANT at Washington a fow days since, which, even if we supposo tho conversation to be colored and distorted by tho reporter, aro not pleasant to read. According to tho statement before us, the General intimated that it would perhaps have been better for the country had the war continued for a year longer, explaining and adding further observations on the stato of tho country, as follows: There wore somo parts of tho country whoro our armies had hover trod, particularly Texas, which needed to feol tho blighting effects of war to bring thoir people to a realizing sense of the onormity of their, erimo and the necessity of a thorough repentance. "I find," said he, "that those parte of ino Month which havo not felt the war, and particularly those which have been with in our lines, and have thcroforo escaped the rebol conscription and taxes, aro much less disposed to accept the situation in good faith than those por tions whioh have been Jiterally overrun with fire and sword." .Referring to tho temper of the Southern people, ho remarked that they aro much lees disposed now to bring themselves to the proper frame of mind than tlioy wjro.ono year, bincu. "A year ago,", said he, "they were willing to do anything; now they regard thomeelvoa as masters of tho situation." "Some of the rebel generals." ho added, "aro behaving nobly and doing all they can to induce the people to throw aside their oin prejudices and to conform thoir course to tho changed condition of things. Johnston and Dick Taylor particularly, aro exercising a good influ ence; but," he added. "Lee is behaving badly. He is conducting himself very differently from what I had reason, from what he said at the time of the surrender, to suppose he would. No man at the Sou' h is capablo of exercising a tenth part of the influence for good that he is; but instead of using it, be is sotting an example of forced acqui escence so grudging and pernicious in its effocts as to bo hardly realized." "The men who woro in the rebol armies," said ' Grant, "acquiesco iu the result much bettor than those who stayed at home. Tho women aro par ticularly bittor against the . Union and Union men." "Of oourso," he added, "thoro is nomo bitterness of feeling among all classes, but I am 1 satisfied it would soou dio out if their loading men 1 had not somehow got the idua that treason after ; all was not vory bad, and that tho 'Southern , causo,' as thoy phrase it, will yot triumph, not in war, but in pol?tica." "In my judgment," Bald ' Grant, "tho tono of cortain mon and certain papers at tho North is such as to do incalculable ' mischief in making tho lato rob?la boliovo that 1 they are Just as much ontitled to rulo as ever, and ' that if thoy will only stand by what thoy aro . pleased to'cull thoir 'rights,' thoy will havo help 1 from the North." "This,** significantly added Grant, "is ouly playing over again the incipient ? stages of tho rohellion." Ho wa? confident that the large majority of the Southern people would 1 smother their rosentmonts and become good oitl ? zeus, if those mischief-makers at the North (the 1 Copperheads) would only lot them alone. For himselr, if he had tbo power, the first thing ho would do would bp to suizo tbo Now York News i and kindred sheets, which are giving the South so ; dangerous an idea of thoir own position and I "rights." ?. "Troops," said Gen. Grant, "must bo kopt in all - the principal points in tho South for some time to f como. Tbis will bo nocoosary to repress the ttirbu ? lenoe of a class of the South very dangerous to i all well diapoaod persons, and also to protect tho .', rights of the freodmen. who arp looked upon with ) doon hatred hy a very large proportion of thopeo : ?*.' ? r '4-??. ?'??.''- ? 1 ' Two boats loaded, SB was supposed, with .
