Jttr. Spinner on the National Bank Cur?
rency.
The New York Herald recently criticised, rather
sharply, Mr. SPINNER'S letter on the National Cur
Tency. The Treasurer thns repUeB in a very in?
teresting letter :
2b the Editor of the Herald : .
My "attention has been called to an editorial
.article which appeared in the New York Herald of
Friday," the 18th inst, headed "Mr. Spinner's Lu?
minous "Views of the National Bank Currency,
being a criticism on mv letter of the 16th in9t. to
the Cashier of the Merchants' National Bank of
Memphis, Tennessee, which article, by its nume?
rous direct questions to me, seems to invite an
answer. That it would have been more just to
me to have printed, in connection with your com?
ments, the whole of my letter, and that I have
leasoii for complaint ?hit thia was not-done, I
think-yon will admit upon areperuaal of the letter
and article in question. But, waiving all matters
of a personal character, my main object in
answering objections that may be urged by the
press; -from whatever motives, to the national
banking system, is to advertise to the people this
fact, viz : that ia national bank notes we have the
best secured bank paper circulating medium that
has ever been devised.
The'Herald makes an issue with the remark
that the notes of a national bank that has failed
are '"rather better than those of a bank in goody
standing;" but my explanation as to why they are
better was not given, to wit: "if away from the
business marts or commercial centres of the
country, for the reason that the Treasurer of the
United Statt-s becomes the cashier of such de?
faulting bank, and will, through his assistants
and all other Government officers, redeem such
circulation-" If the circulating notes of a bank
in good standing must be sent to some distant
{lace for, r?demption, the notes of a defaulting
ank, being redeemable at over four hundred
different Government offices scattered throughout
the country, at their face Value, are obviously
"rather better than those of a bank in good stand?
ing." . Your ?stiele further says:
"Mr. Spinner's correspondent asks a very perti?
nent quectiOD, upon which the Treasurer does not
throw much light. He inquires what security the
noteholders would have in the event of the banka
failing,' and the bonds deposited should not realize
enough to redeem the . irculation in consequence
of the declino in the securities. Is the govern?
ment bound to redeem the notes at par, notwith?
standing the bonds deposited should not realize a
sufficient snni with which, to redeem them ? That
is the question. Mr. Spinner does not answer it
directly. He simply says the government 1 as a
first and permanent [by me written 'paramount']
hen "upon all the ces?is of a defaulting bani', to
Supply the de?cieucy. Bul;, Mr. Spinner, suppose
there'were no assets-and it is not likely tl.ere
would be, in a general panic or smash up-would
the United States be bound to make up tue defici?
ency out of the Treasury ? This is toe question
thc'correspondent put, and the question which
has not been answered."
You subsequently remark :
"If we rightly remember the act creating those
banks,,the Government ls not bound to the note?
holders beyond what it can realize out of the
banks. No Congress could be stupid enough,
surely, topase a law making it responsible beyond
that, if * *. With all respect to Mr. Treasnrer
Spinner, we think the legal tender is better and
more secure than the national bank note; for the
Government is bound for that to its full value,
whatever crinia may ooma."
Now, I did answer the question of my corros
pondont, which you state in the above quotation
that I failed to answer, and the reply was in these
words r-"L, therefore, answer thiB question, affir?
matively."
As to the law creating this system and provid?
ing for the redemption of national bank notes, it
do*>s appear from your statement of it that a
"more luminous" exposition than has been given
by either of us migut be acceptable to notehold?
ers. In the forty-seven th aecTtwu of tho National
Currency act it ia provided that in case of the
failure of a national bank "tho Comptroller shall
declare <he United Statua bond* and ac euri tica
pledged by encl) associationT forfeited to the
United States, and the ?ame shall thereupon be
forfeited accordingly; and thereupon the Comp?
troller shall immediately give notice, iu such man?
ner as the Secretary of the Treasury shall, by
g?nerai rue- or otherwise, direct, to the holders
of the circulating notes of such association; to
Sresent them for payment at the Treasury of the
ni ted States, and tbe same shall be paid as pre?
sented in the lawful money of the United States
'*--#* And fur any deficiency in the proceeds of
the bonds pledged by such association the United
States shall have a first and paramount hen upon
all assets of such association."
It seems clear enough tu at the notes of a na
tional bank in liquidation are liabilities of the
Government and are redeemable at sight by each
and all of the hundreds of designated depositaries
of tile United States; and most people in commer
cial circles understand this liability of and cer
tainty of redemption by the Government. The
United State? is theiefore clearly legally bound to
redeem every dollar of the circulation of a de
faulting national bank. The Government virtu
ally undertakes that its six per cent, gold interest
bearing bouda -and any other of its. bonds made
of equivalent value-deposited why national |
banks to secure the redemption of their circulat?
ing notes-shall not depreciate more than the
difference betweou such par value of the bonds at J
which they are received and the lesser amount
of circulating notes issued to the bank thereon,
and that if they do the Government guarau-1
tees to mike good the deficiency to the note?
holder. It agrees to redeem all auch notes from
ita own funds in the Treasury at par, and this,
too, whether the securities deposited for that pur?
pose, with the sums that may be afterwards re?
alized from i he assets of such defaulting banks,
shall be sufficient or not. In other words, the i
Government does not act in the capacity of a joint I
trustee of the national banks and the holders of |
their notes to pay the latter such sUms as it may
realize from the sales of the securities of the for?
mer; but it stauda as tho perfectly secured endor?
ser of every circulating note issued by a national I
bank. The faot that all national bank notes are a |
legal tender, to the Government for all dues ex?
cept customs, would be sufficient to establish thia j
liability, eveu if. thero had been no positive enact- j
ment of a mandatory character, such as is con?
tained in section forty-seven of the law above
aupted. Such ia the opinion of the honorable
Secretary of the' Treasury, the honorable Comp?
troller of tho Currency, and of every other person
with' whom I have conversed who has given the
matter attention.
In thia connection I desire to state another fact
not generally under.-1 od; that is, that on account
of the perec?'al lia ?di i ty clause in tho aot on the
failure of a national bank the whole "capital
stock" of the bank, fr m the "liability" of the,
bank to its stockholders, immediately becomes an
"aaaet" to its creditors.
As an exiniplo, showing public faith in commer?
cial circle? ana among all classes in the security
of the ?yatem, and how this matter is understood
and how it works, I iustanoe the case of the First
National Bank or Attica, New York, which failed
more than fourteen months since. Notice waa
immediately given, in every posaible way, that the
circulating notes of that institution would be re?
deemed by all Government depoaitarieB on pre?
sentation; yet to day ti.o avails of the accrued in?
terest ?lone on thu Government securities pledged
for the redemption ot theae note? exceeds by ov. r
one thousand dollara the amount of the notes of ]
that bank aa yet presented f r redemption.
It will not take long at thia rate to redeem the
whole circulation of this bank, witoout touching
the principal of the securities deposited for that
purpose, or any other aaset of the defaulting
banu. It. is therefore? asserted that after a na?
tional bank fail? to redeem ita circulating notes
the se urity t the I illh-.ider or auch bank there?
upon becomes precisely I hit of a holder or the le?
gal tender i.otea nt the Ui.ited 8tates.
Hoping that I huve madu myseir' understood
and that ovet y question put to me in the lotter re?
ferred io or iu your ankle haa beeu satisfactorily
answered, and willi full faith that you will iu'your
paper put n<e and tho subject right in the eyes ol'
the public,
I am, very reapectfullY, yr ure,

Gov. Worth's Message to the North Carolina
* Convention.
The. following is Governor WOBTH*S Message,
recently sent in to the Convention of North Caro?
lina:
Gentlemen of the Convention :
8ince your adjournment last October, nothing
has como to my knowledge touching our position
in reference to the Federal Government, which is
not matter of public history. At your previous
sesBionyou made the requisite amendments to
the constitution, and passed the ordinances be?
lieved to bo neccasarv to a complete reconciliation
with the United States and our restoration to
national fraternity. Although our people, with
remarkable unanimity, yielded their assent to
your action, and were ready, without any excep?
tion within my knowledge, to acknowledge their al?
legiance to the United States, and toohey tho
laws and constitution thereof, we havo been
grievously disappointed by the rejection of our
members frqm the Congress of the nation. This
rejection has ndt been placed on the ground of any
irregularity in their election or qualification. While
Congress recognizes the existence of the State
government to the effect of incorporating into
the constitution of the United States our amend?
ments mane thereof, they continue to govern and
to levy taxes without allowing us any participa?
tion in making the laws or imposing the national
taxes. Congress has been sitting for some five
months without providing any termsonwhich.it
is proposed to recognize our admission. We have
elected men whom we believe to be as loyal aa any
men in the United States, every one of whom la?
bored to preserve the Union until hostilities had
actually commenced, and - every one of them has
renewed or is ready to renew his oath or fidelity to
tbe government of the United States. Whether
any one of them could conscientiously swear that
be never aided or ny m pat hised wi: h the rebellion,
I do not know. Ii no member can bo received
from the States lately in rebellion without taking
the Congressional test oath, it will amount to prac?
tical disfranchisement. It was presumed when
you adjourned in October last, that by this time
the Union would have been fully restored, or that
Congress would have defined its policy of restora?
tion. Neither ovont has occurred. Neither tho
President nor Congress has yet made known any
further requirements. I have no information
which warrants me in making any euggestions-to
you as to any further action which you moy prop?
erly take tending to produco tho desired harmony
between us; so act as to retain our self-respect,
and give to our late enemies no just grounds for
tbw continuance of ill will against ns. National
prosperity cannot be restored until reconciliation
and concord shall be re-established. If bitter?
ness is to he continued, lot all of us strivo to co?
operate with the President io bis patriotio plans
and refrain from giving any just excuse for the
continuance of such feeling, and I hope tho day
is not far distant when the Northern people will .
become satisfied that.their distrust of us is un- j :
founded, and that the'religion wo profess, as well
as publio policy, demand mutual forgiveness and i
reconciliation. I herewith enclose a communies- ?
tion from the publio Treasurer,. suggesting cer- <
tain amendments to the revende acts of the last i
General Assembly. I commend his recommends- i
tion to your favorable consideration. In conse- i
auence of the order of the President of the i
hited Btates relieving the Provisional Governor, j
I entered upon the discharge of my duties as 1
Oivil Governor, in conformity with your Ordinance, j
on the 28th day of December last. I bad to en- ? ?
counter some irregularities growing out of the j
transition, but with the universal desire of the 1
Eeople to restore order, no serious difficulties I
ave presented themselves in putting into action i
the machinery of civil government in the Stnte. ' i
In my official correspondence and intercourse i
with the executive officers of the United|States 1
and with Brevet Major-General Buger, the mili-, j
tary commandant of thia State, all have exhibited'.
a uniform disposition to avoid unnecessary jar- 1
rings in the discharge of our respective dunes, j
and a readiness to co-operate with me in every-, t
thing tending to restore the cordial reconciliation c
between the lately belligerent sections of our i
country. I learn from General Buger, to whom t
th* President of tbe United State*, has lately as- f
signed the chief supervision of the Freedmen's J
Bureau in this State, that he would gladly give i
to tho civil courts of the 8tates full jansdiction in i
all mattera relating to freedmen, but that be feels i
embarrassed in doing no eonalutently with Ula in- l
structions. on t> cSWuntnf certain -provisions-ana. .<
conflicting constructions of the act of thc General i
Assembly, passed at its late session, entitled "An ?
act concerning negroes, persona ' of color or of i
mixed blood," ?c. - Bin difficulties are understood j
to grow out of the ninth And eleventh sections of )
the act As it is very desirable that the civil \
courts shall mete out uniform justice to all, white :
and black, according to law,- and .that all cause of. i
dissatisfaction as to co: 'fl ?ct of jurisdiction should i
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. Hence I had not in tended,
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
wishes on you. May God guide your councils to
results beneficial to our unhappy country.

Important Decision Respecting American
Property Owners located In a Foreign
Country.
In the late United Statos and Colombia Com?
mission the caeo of Augustus 0. Fretz involved a
question BO important aa to exeite general discus?
sion among the diplomats. It was argued by Mr.
S. S. Cox for the claimant and by Mr. Carlisle for
Colombia, and subsequently, on a difference of'
opinion between the commissioners, it was argued
in printed brief by Colonel Biddle, Commissioner
for the United States, and General Salzar, Com?
missioner for Colombia, and the umpire, Sir
Frederick Bruce, has decided that Fretz, though
holding property on the Isthmus of Panama, waa
a citizen of the United States for the purposes of
the convention. He owned tho Ocean Hotel on
the Isthmus, which was destroyed by the famous
riot of April 16,1856, and it waa urged that the
temporary residence there and the owner?
ship of real estate gave color to his natiod-"
ality, and made bim a New Grenadian
citizen. His original do mi eil waa in the United
States, and it was held by the claimant's coun?
sel that Fretz never abandoned it; that he con?
tinued his residence in Pennsylvania, where he
was born, even whoo he had'his place of .business
in San Francisco, and that ho never dwelt in Pan?
ama, but was only there as an agent of a company
domiciled elsewhere. The- umpire decided that he
was an American citizen, and that he was entitled
to compens?t iou for the destruction of his proper?
ty, of whatever description, the moro so as that
property was intimately connected and supple?
mentary to the necessities created by the transit
ronte-the preservation of good order and peace
along which route the Republic of New Granada
declares to bo' tho foundation of its liability in this
class of cases. To a share of that protection and
to compensation for damages resulting from the
want of it this hotel property is equitably entitled.
The umpire quoted the case of Paofies, a British
BUhject, whosv house in Greeco was destroyed, and
held that ownership of the house, coupled with
long residence, did not reuder him constructively
a subject of Greece as to matters affecting that
firoperty, nor doprive him of tho right of protec
iou and full compensation uh ?ch he claimed as a
British subj. ct.

Jefferson Davis.-The Points* of Law In?
volved in his Trial.
[From the Washington Intelligencer, Say 25. J
The recent references to the trial of l?r. Davis
have called public attention to this aubjeot, which
very naturally in a large degree interests the
public mind. Thc indictment, in the usual form
for treason, bas been found by the Grand Jurv,
in the United States Circuit Court at Norfolk. Mr.
Davis is indicted nuder the net of 17f?, under
which the penalty, on conviction, is death. He
could have been indicted under the act of July 31,
18G1, for a seditious conspiracy^ the punishment
of which is a line not over $5000, and imprison?
ment, with or without hard labor, not over six
yeai s. One of the most important points is thc
drawing of the petit jury who are charged with
the trial of thu prisoner. "The jury ia to be drawn
according to Jot or otherwise, according to the
mode practised in tho State for selecting jurie?
for the highest courts of law. The number of
jurors to bo summoned is left to the discretion of
the Court, as at commun law. Tue oct of July
16, 1862, repeats so nin-h of tho act of 1739 as re?
quires, in cases punishable with. death, that
twelve petit jurors be summoned from tho county
where the offence was committed. Under'the act
of Juno 17, 18G2, no person is allowed to sit on the
jury who was in any degree of complicity with tho
rebellion. "Thia is sn act of controlling impok
tance, because it insures that the trial shall be
before a loyal jury. Mr. Davis cannot bo tried by
any of his confederates. Hie fate will rest entire?
ly with his political opponents. Tho jury must
be unanimous or there o<tn bc no verdict.
This is the invariable mle of "the.camraon law,
and has existed time whereof the memory vf man
runneth hot to the contrary. Thepresidmg judge
can rule authoritatively oh questirnre of evidence
as they may arise in the progress otihe trial ; but
as the jnry always, in criminal oases, return a
jrcnerftl verdict of guilty or not guilty, they are
practically the judges of tho law as well as the
fact, and "there ia no appeal from theirdeoieion.
There has nev? r been any exception to this prin?
ciple in tho common law, except that in cases of
libel it bad frequently been determined by the
Court of King's Bench that tho only question for
tho consideration of th j jury in criminal prosecu?
tion's for libel was the (act of publication and that
of tho innuendoes, and tliat the Court alone was
competent to determino nhether thc subject of
tho publication WAH or was not a libel. Arid it waa
for this ruli ig or Lord Mansfield that tho cele?
brated Junina so bitterly attacked Lord Mansfield.
Lord Camden, the friend of liberty, differed from
Lord Mnnaficld, and the matter waa finally put to
rest- by thc memorable act of Parliament 32,
Georgo III., known as Mr. Fox's afit,-which de?
termined tho law against Lord Mansfield's judg?
ment, by expressly recognizing tho ri ht of the
fury to determine tho facts and law of thc case
by a general verdict of guilty or not guilty.
The trial can only end in ono of three ways: 1.
By verdict or irnilty. 2. By verdict of net guilty.
3. By the inability or tho jury to agree.
In tho event or this third alternative arising tho
first question which will arise is whether Mr. Da
iris will bo entitled to bail." Tho Constitution pro
rides that Vin al) criminal proBecutions'the accu?
sed shall enjoy the right to a speedy and pnblic
trial." In determining whether Mr. Davie, after
nore than a year's close impriBonmont^would bo
;ntitled, lu tho event of the disagreement of the
jury, to be discharged on bail, would pe a ques?
tion of legal discretion, to be determined by tuc
?udtre., By the celebrated Habeas Corpus Act of
ll Charles IL, it was provided, sixth, "that every
person committed for treason or felony, shall, if
ne require it, thc first week of the next term, or
;he first day of the next session of Over and Ter
niner, be indicted in that term or session, or else
admitted to hail, unless thc king's witnesses can
iot be produced; and if not indicted and tried in
,ao second term or session, be shall be discharged
'rom his imprisonment for such imputed offence.1'
It is not likely our judges would take a less
avorable vi?w or the prisoner's application than
n the rule furnished by this statute. The seri?
jos question would be, how many terms of the
:onrt nave passed since the prisoner WAS first ar
.est?d? His counsel .would, in all probability,
.oatend that by intehdinent of law tho United
States courts were holding their regular terms
or tho last twelve months in the State of Vir?
ginia, or at least might have dono no, A further
provision of the Constitution mhjht, ?perhaps,
Uso. in the event of a diaagroomout'or the Jury,
LX3 invoked ?ja bolt&lf of tho f)r?MOQOr-n^hnt ODO
ishioh eose tafdBgse^UBaUMmjjSiy ?e*WMMiy per*
son bo subject, for the same offence to be twico
putin jeopardy of life or limb." The meaning of
alia rule is, that a defendant is iu legal jeopardy
the moment a petit jury is charged with the deci?
sion of his oase. j But, though there has been
some difference of opinion on the point, it may be
assumed that, when the jury are discharged from
the further and final decision of the case, because
af their inability to agree, the prisoner may be
held to be tried anew. At one time In England,
where .the jury could not agree on a capital case,
the judge, instead of discharging them at the eua
of the term, bad them oarted around the circuit
with him. This practice, however, is exploded,
lu oase, then, ot the inability of the jury to agree,
the utmost the prisoner could ask, from that fact
-lone, would be the right to be out of prison on
bail.
General Grant on Reconstruction.
We find in the Lewiston (Maine) Journal some
notes made by thc editor of an hour's intorview
with General GHANT at Washington a few days
since, which, even if we suppose tho conversation
to be colored and distorted by the reporter, are
not pleasant to read. According tu the statement
before us, the General intimated that it would
perhaps have been hotter for the country had the '
war continued for a year longer, explaining and
adding further observations on the state of the
country, as follows:
There were some parts of the country where
our armies had never trod, particularly Texas,
which needed to feel tho blighting offeots of war
to bring their people to a realizing sense of the
enormitv of their crime and the necessity of a.
thorough repentance. "I find," said he, "that
those paita of the South which have not felt tba.
war, and particularly those which have been with?
in our liuos, aud have therefore escaped the rebel
conscription and taxes, aro much less disposed to
accept the situation in good faith tban those por?
tions which have been literally overrun with fire
and sword.";.
Koferring to the temper of the Southern people,
ho remarked that they are much less disposed
now to bring the.ns:?lves to tho proper frame of
mind than they were one year cince. "A year
ago," said he, "they were willing to do anything;
now they regard themselves aa mantera of the
situation." i'Somo of tho rebel genorals," he
added, "are behaving nobly and doing all they
can to iuduco tho people to throw aside their ol.i
prejudices and to conform their course to the
changed condition of things. Johnston and Dick
Tavlor particularly, are exercising a good influ?
ence; but," he added, "Leo is behaving badly. He
ia conducting himself very differently from what I
had reason, from what he said at tho time of tho
surrender, to suppose bo would. No man at the
Sou*h ia capable of exercising a tenth part of the
iufiuenco for good that he ia; but instead of using
it, he ia eettiug an i-xamplo ot forced acqui?
escence so grudging and pernicious in its effects
aa to be hardly realized."
"The men who were in the rebel armies," said
Grant, "acquiesce in tho result much better than
thoao who stayed at home. The women are par?
ticularly bitter aga?ist the Union and Uniou
men." "Of eoureo,"-.lie added, "tuoro is some
bitterness of feeling among all classes, but I am
satisfied it would soon die out if their leading men
bad not aomehow got tho idea that treason after
all was not very bad, and that the 'Southern
cause,' aa they phrase it, will yet triumph, not in
war, but in politics." "In my judgment," said
Grant, "the tone of certain men and certain
papers at the North ia such ?ia to do incalculable
mischief in making tho late rebela behove that
they are just as much entitled to rulo aa ever, and
that if they will only stand by what they are
pleaaed to call their 'rights.' they will have help
from the North." "This," significantly added
Grant, "is only playing over again the incipieut
etagoa of the rebellion." He was confident that
the large majority of the Southern people would
?.mother their resentments and becuino good oiti
zena, if these mischief-makers at the North (the
Copperheads) would only let them alone. For
himself, if he had the power, the first thiner he
would do would be to seize the New York News
and kindred sheets, which are giving tho South ao
dauireroua an idea of their own position and
"rightB." .. ,
"Troops," said Gen. Grant, "must be kept in all
the principal pointe in tho South for some time to
cunio. Thia will bo necessary to repress the turbu?
lence of a elaaa of tho South very dangerous to
all well disposed peraona, and alao to protect the
rights of tho freedmen, who are looked upon with
deep hatred by a very large proportion of the peo?
ple."_
Two boats loaded, aa was supposed, with
Fenians, landed at Indian Island, near Eastnort,
