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,

Gov. 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.

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.

[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
