TO THE EDITOK OF THE NFWS. This subject is much discussed in Congroes and in tho journals, but net with that agree? ment in principles which is necessary to its intelligent investigation. I have just perused Mr. Morton's speech in tho tenate, recently made, lie is favorable to resumption, but sots out with tho assumption that our -paper cur? rency IB not excessive. I would suppose that tho answer to this assumption would bo the premium on gold, which is 82 per eoiit. ; but a tow flffui'oa will uliow i Km dior of Mr. ?norton on tuo bubjeofc of rodundanoy of tho pap^r currency. Tho amount of paper money issued, includ? ing logal tender and national bunk notes, is, in round numbers, $039 000 000. Otu' popula? tion is estiniatod at 38,000 000, which is a frac? tion over seventeen do'lars per head of pn por cut roney lor tho wholo population. Tho paper currency of tho United States m 1860 was $207,000.000, and the specie iu cir ulatiot. between $83 000,000 md $84 000,000. making in tho aggregate about $300 000,000, wbioh, in proportion to thc population at ?hat timo 31,000.00J-was a fraction over $7 per hoad for tho bank note and $2 50 per head for tho specie part of tin cremation. Tho bank noto cur? rency of Great Britain is ?30 000,1.00-$150 000, 000-which is $4 84 per capVa. Tho paper currency of France is 120.000,000 franca $24,000,000-about $7 per hoad. Let us adopt ?mot luv modo of calculation. Allowing for an increase of population, at the n?xt decennial period, nt tho rate of 3J per cent, per annum, and that tho population ot the United Slates will, at the next census, 1870. reach 40,000,000. att his rate of increase thc cur? rency ought to be $400 000 000 or $10 per head, or about $7 50 for the pay rand $250 for the spcoie porti m. Parsuinc. tho samo modo of calculation at t? e census of 1880, when our numbers will bo 54,000,000, our whole currency, pa er and specie, would bo $540 000,000, and, in the same proportion as in 1860, for specie and paper about $400,000 000 tor the latter anl $100,000, 000 for tho former portion of it. Mr. Morton is opposed to the mode of com? mencing tbe payment of the national dobt, as suggested by tho Secretary of the lrea-ury. Mr. Mcculloch proposes to commence with tho funded d bt. Mr. Morton wishes to be? in with tho floating debt, in which we rgiee with him. Tho floating debt is tho greatest ot' the two evils. The lundod debt is not payable until 1881. The floating debt disturbs contracts, and by leading to depreciation aud au unfavorable balanou of trade, carries our bonds to Europe with our gold. Mr. Morton is, however, not a little inconsistent in this part of his speech. He is opposed to a contraction of the currency, unless by piecemeal, bit by bit. Now, what is a reduction of the floating debt, in other words, a cancellation of the legal tender not es, in the way he proposes, but a postponement tc an almost inde?niio period of resumption? He ie the advocate of paying off . the floating debt in preference to tha funded debt, because it will be the means of improv? ing the currency, and lead qg necessarily to , resumption, and yet he proposes to cancel one . hundred millions of that debt as an effectnal | ' mea m of returning to specie payments. Does he imagine th?, cancelling one parc out ci seven, when the excess is about four parts out of seven, will accomplish his object ? He sup? poses that retiring $100,000 000 of legal tender notes will briug the remainder to a lovel of value with gold. Vain expectation I In speaking ot a gradual reduction, is he not aware of that law of currency wbioh prevents currency of a. higher value circulating with one ot a lower value? Would not gold be still re? garded ns merchandise and re-exported even if Drought in by a balance of trade, until the excess of paper monoy had been reduced ? The coui se ofoolioy is very plain m this ex remity. lt is to reduce our fl latin s debt as rapidly as possible, consistent with safety and not too great a reduc? tion of prices, until wo have brought it down to somewhere in tho neighborhood of $350,000,000, and then if our exports exoeod our imports, and the bulanco of trade ie in our favor, we shall be abb to return to specie payments, but not before. If the attempt ia made to resume unless we are iii due preparation to do so, by reducing tho pres -nt p ?tudia;of paper monoy, there will bo inevitably another suspension, as was the case in this country iu 1889, after the suspension ot 1837. Li fact, this subject cannot be intelligently discussed, exoept iu connection with tho pub? lie expenditure aud the state of our foreign trade, and to these aspects of tho subject we will address ourselves in a future communica? tion. J.'N. O. Aw ELEPHANT ATTACKS A LOCOMOTIVE.-The following account of an encounter between an elephant and a railway train in India is *aken from the Bengalee of January '2. an in toll ?gout native newspaper published in Calcutta in Eng? lish : A correspondent writing the Indo-Euro? pean correspondence l?om Mou^hyr, scutes that a verry serious accident, brought about in a manner unknowr., and perhaps unheard of since the establbumont of railways, not only in India, but ttftor?i?ho?t tho world, happened to a train on the e-ening of the 20ih of De? cember, at half-past b o'oiock, between Baheb guuge and Mirzaporo, about two mites .-from the lattor station. At that time tho No. 5 down goods' train was approaching a mangoe tope, in which seventy elephants were stationed. The rod lights glaring in the distance, and the noise and smoke ot tbe engine, would seem to have caused an awful consternation among tho poor brutes, all of whom more, or less, tried to break away from their faste-iinge. Ono large male, however, the sirouaest and moat courageous of the lot, became so infuria? ted that he broke bia chain and rushed forward to intercept and encounter the supposed ene? my. He had scarcely placed himself on the line when the train was down upon him. He encountered it with head and tusko; but animal strength proved no match tor steam and mt obinery-the poer brute was 1? booked down and killod on the spot, and the engine, rebounding, ran off the lino, and it and eleven carriages wore capsized in to a ditch. Tue.fireman luckily managed to jump off in time, and the guard did the same, but the po r driver, named Smith, remained iu his place, and reeeived inju? ries from which it ia not expeoted he willieoovcr. DUEL AT NEW OM.UA NS.-At an carly hour Wedneaday morning, a duel was fought at Company Canal, above tho oity, between Messrs. J. P. Rondeau, of this oity, ana Wm. A. Davis, of Oaddo Parish, resulting in the wounding of the latter. They were accompa? nied by Mr. Griffin, the triend of Mr. Davis, and Mr. Carr, wo believe, in behalf of Mr. Hon? dean. The duel was faucht with navy revolver?, at ten paces. The difficulty whion led to the encounter appears to hav6 occurred Alardi Gras night ac a private party, and arose from a supposed insult to a joting lady. It appears they met the day nf tor, and a pistol was drawn in front of Huggerty's on Canal-street, but ou one of tbe party stating that he was unarmed, an interview was arranged au hour afterwards at the St. Charles Hotel, when a hostile mee . ing was agreed cu for Wednesday morning at Spark's plantation, above Carrofltoti. It was agreed to ure alternately, and Mr. Davis won the first shot and mmaed bis aim. Mr. Rondeau then essayed to fire, bat his pis? tol only snapped, but at a seeoid attempt the pistol was d<.-.obarged, taking eOeot between the third and fourth nb, producing a severe and probably fatal wound.

The Fifteenth Amendment-Beginning to See its H.tTects. Tb? constitutional amendment adopted by the United States Senate is denounced by some of the prominent Radical journals, who see that it is time to resist tho encroachments of Con gross upon thc rights of tho States. The tendency towards centralization is beginning to be rebuked by Republican party organs. They see tho danger that must result from stripping the States of all powor, and confer? ring tho same npon Congress. The Providence (R. I.) Jourual Bays: ? ? Should this amendment bo confirmed by tho States, and go into effect, it cannot fad to work a very important change in the govern? ment and institutions of tho country. The ar liclo anuuls forever all special qualifications tor holding office in any of tho States, and will inevitably require very important alterations in sevoral of thu State constitutions, as well as in the relations of all the States to tho General Government. It will provo by far the longest step that has thus far ooen taken toward the consolidation of our political power aud the virtual ovorthrow of State institut ioue. A change like this which is proposed by the Senate is fundamental aud far-reaohing* As was earnestly contended by several leading members of that body, it is essentially revolu? tionary in its tendencies and results. Our po? litical system will be very greatly modified by its oporation, and with the facility which will thus bo introduced of inking still further changes, it is i cnpossiblo fully to estimate or oven to anticipate tho ulterior consequences that are likely to flow from it. Out of a neces niij nliicti tUo louulltim lurued. uouu llio annes of the South, and which really pertained only to them, tho champions o. a particular theory ot social rights havo carried through tho ?cu? ate a change in tho fundamental law which strikes down everything liko local independ? ence in btate affiirB, and abolishes all power in a State .to pro.oct itself against any social or political evils to which it mav bo especially ex pot ed. Ibo Constitution of the Unitod States, as thus amended, will clearly no longer be the constitution which was adopted by our fathers. With S4ch a provision, oven as a possible anti? cipation, it could nevor have passed the con? vention ot 1787; still loss could it havo been ac? cepted by tho popular conventions of any of tho States. If it is now confirmed, it will be only un overthrow ot State constitutions, under the spurious guiBo of a constitutional amendment lu favor of freedom. The Chicago Tribune also has a bold article an the subject. It says: State officers are pot, like voters, constit? uents of tue national government. Thoir ci u al i fie dons may be saf .ly left to the people of the State. Tue constitutions of the several States provide various qualifications for thoir officers. Ike Governors of Borne 8tates are re? quired to bo nativo born citizens. Under oioli State we have a variety of officos to bo filled by persons having a knowledge of par? ticular sciences; we havo judges and attornoy geucrals, we havo prosecuting attorneys, State geologists and surveyors, wo have hospitalB tot tho insane aud for Itu crea m M?t of ot her forms of disease. Why should not tho State ot' Illi? nois require that persons elected or appointed lo these places shall be able to read or write? lhat her judges and attorneys shall ba educat? ed in tbe law? that her public physicians aud superintendents of hospitals shall have a medi? cal education ? Yet tho amoudmeut pro? posed by the Senate prohibits the State from establishing any such qualifications, and makes eligibility to office coextensive wiib the right bo vote. AU Citizens, of all colors and races, whether they read or write, or ??peak tho lan? guage; or ho.d pt ?per ty, aro mate eligible to all Offices in tho State. Can any person give any good reason for this proposition? Wu do not think such an amendment can bo ratified at the present time. We do not believe tnat it will secure tho requisite number of "Otes in Illinois, Indiana or Ohio; we do not think Connecticut, or Rhode I-danit, or New Hampshire will ratify it. and it may fait in Now ?ork and Pennsylvania. The Pacific States -viii undoubtedly reject it. Tue universal suf? frage clause cannot carry itself and the office QoldiBg clause. What will Become of?r?ut's Staff ? Qn the 4th of Maroh next, when General Jrant coases to be commander of the army, or sooner, if he should rssigu before that time, the command will devolve upon Lieutenaut Gleneral W. T. Sherman, the next in rank, and Elli of General Grant's officers will formally bonder their resignations. If General S Herman should not reappoint them, General Rawlings will still remain a Brigadier General, lt is believed that he will bo nominated to some good civil position; Uoneral Badean will fall i>ack on his cotnmis ?ionas First Lieutenant or the Fourth Infan? try; General Porter will fall back to Major of tht Or Inane s Department; General Comstock will be Major of the Engiueer Corps; General Babcock will be also a Major in the Engineer Gorps; Colonel Parker will bo a First Lieu? tenant of the Second Cavalry; General Dent will become tt Major of the Fourteenth Infan? try, but will, it is thought, go with the Presi? dent to the White Douse; Colonel Loot will continue as Mnjor in the Adjutant-General's Department, and Colonel Webster will be as? sailed tohome important post m the Quarter? master's Department, if not retained by Gene? ral Sherman, which is moro than probable. The Senate Caucus anti the ute peal ot the Tenurc-off-oHlce Law, A Washington letter ol Monday to the Balti? more Sun says: The Ridical members of the So ..at e were in caucus for a ..ont four hours lo-day. The time, from eleven to twelve, not sufficing, Mr. An? thony, the chairman of the caucus, when the Senate met m regular session at noon, seized tho convenient pretext that this was the birth? day of vv ashli g tun, and. on his motion, ad? journed at once-whereupon the majority ira med at ely returned to their caucus cn .ruber. The discussion was principal y over the J'en ure-ol-offlce bill, and waB at times warmer and more bitter than at any of the caucuses during | impeachment times. Many ot the senators lett long before tho caucus adjourned, absolute? ly reiusiog to be bbuud by its decieion. lt was maintained by some that tbe subject was one not proper to bo regulated by caucus, bot that each senator should act on his own individual responsibility, whioh such sena? tors as Morton, Fessenden, Cameron. Grimes aud others declared they intended to do. But few senators cared to take the decided stand of avowing thom selves absolutely against tho repeal, but it was urged .that there was not sufficient time left in winch to properly discuss the matu r, and that when the new Congi eas oame m a better understanding could be had of the merits and demerits of the question, and ample time to calmly survey all tue circum? stances bearing on it. Tho old hatred of An? drew Johnson was atafetorought into play, aud a? great indisposition manifested to give him a chance to have anything todo with it. Mr. Wil? son said the President would rejoice to have thin lani opportunity of rapping Congress over tho knuckles; that if th* bul wau repealed, tte would in signing it take the oco&sion to ?bow up Congress as going book ou itself, and as admit? ting the truth of his strictures that the bill wa -. unconstitutional and could not hs justified, audit the modified bill of the retrenchment committee was pulsed his voto would contain th* same argumente. Senator Sawyer on-the Tennre*of-eanee liKW. In the Senate on Monday, Mr. Biwversatd ha had not the slightest want ot confidence in the President elect, but, on tho contrary, he deserved the general oonfi leece of the people, because in every position in which ho (Goneinl Grant) had been placed he had justified the confidence placed in him. But bo thought there was some danger pf manifesting confi? dence in an unwise way-by repealing the 'le nare-oi-Offioe Act. He behaved if that aot had been passed twenty >eats ago it would have been bettor for the country, sud he was in fa? vor of con tinning it in force, at least for the Eresent, and, probably, always ; and. even if o war* disposed to re eal it, he would not do it on the eve of an administration, because it would look too much uko fallin? before the rising sun. , Tbs SUtsb of Legtslatgon. The Washington correspondent, of the Balti? more Bus says, in regard to the last ten days of the pr?sent Congress : ' Among tho important matter* which desper? ate efforts will ba made to crowd Into thea? ten dAj t, hut somo ot which must go over un? til the ?est Congress, are the tenure-of-office ? M" ' 'f:' ' ' '? matter, the .appropriation bills, the oonstitu tional amendmeut, tho Virginia election bill, the case of Georgia, <ho now naturalization bill, the bill to reorganizo the judiciary of the United States, over whioh Mr. trumbull be? haved'so naughty yesterday, tho question of printing tho dou?tes of Congress, the present contract with the Globe expiring on the di h of March, and a number of very important bills from the Com mit toe on Military Affairs, whose I non-consideration, if Mr. Wilson is to bo crod ited, will entail untold woes on the "liberty loving" people of this country. Then there are important executive matters-principal of whioh ls tho Alabama treaty. The report of the Co.mniitoo on Foreign Eolations recommend? ing its rejeotiou will give rise to a wido discus? sion. lt will thus be seen what ? pile of wor? yet romains to be done and it is certain that no grass will grow under the feet of our legis? lators between now and the eventful fourth.
