TO 1HE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. In some remarks made by us we have taken for granted that the paper currency, of tho United States is redundant. Tho extent of tho excess can only he reached by approximation. Those who have made this sabj-ct ono of closo cxaminatiou have taken the increase of the population ns tho basis of calculation. Mr. Wollcs. tho Special Com nissioner of the Bev enuo in his recent able report, has assumed $10 percapita of the whole population as suf? ficient for tho curri ney of tho United States, including both naper and specio. Tim next e lu? men lion in 1870 will show 42.0C0 OOO. This mul? tiplied by 10 would give $420,000 000 as the prop? er limit of tho currency of the Uuited States.' Mr. Morton, in his latc spc.ch in tho United States Senate, has made the rx! ra vc (rant as? sumption that cur "urrency is not rahmda t, being between *G0?, 000,000 and $700,000,000. which at $10 per head, including paper and specie would make the exec s betwt on $200, 003,000 and $300,fO'J,0\0-$15 per bead for the whole population. We have stated that this subject cannot bo intelligently discussed, unless in connection with tho public expoudituro and the state of our fore:gn trade. * 1. The pub ic expenditure. Mr. McCulloch, in his Uto report, mates mat ttie expenditures of clio government ought to bc reduced to $250 0?0 000. He estimates tho revenuo from the two principal sources-the cu Horns and tho internal revenue-at $300,000 000-a saving ot $50,000,C0O, which he would apply to paying off an eriual amount of th?funded debt. Mr. Mor? ton's proposition is to apply any saving malo by diminished expenditure or addition to rev? enue, to i be extiugu.bhmcnt of the floating debt, in which, we ha\e said, we agree with him. 2. The slate of ourf>reign trade. Ibis is an element of great importance, of which little notice is taken in tho remarks made on this subject. Mr. Morton speaks of accumulMiug gold by selling our batida iu Europe and bring? ing tho proceeds to this sido of the Atlantic; but appears to omit the consideration that wo must reduce tho voluni9 ot our currency to the specie standard before we can sell our bonds in Europe at teir par value. He overlooks entirely the influoaco of a favorable b nanci ot trade. Our export of cotton for 1869-70 2.500 000 bales-at the moderate average of 20 cents, in gold, (10.1. in England), 450 pounds to tho bale, will \ield in money value tho ? of.$225 000,000 The ci op of 1870-71 ( ho high price in Eutopo stimulating the culti? vation in the United States}, will produce 3 000 000 halos, suppos? ing the season favorable, and, as? suming tho prico reduced to 16 cents lier pou"d, in goid, (8 1. iu England), will yield a UJOUOV vaiuo ot. 210,000,000 $141.000,000 If, therefore, wo have a favornblo so eon wo will havo, when we add tho oihor articles of export, tobacco naval st.iris pciroleum. -i. IP -?i $j00 000 000 in va uc of i x.iort- on tho credit si-ie oi tho account, as til ! aggregate mme? mm of our proJuctions for ibu years 1S70 and 1871. A no les? important element however, is tito aggregate amount of our imports. Th' bal? ance of commercial debt bas bo u ngaii ot u.s, because in 1SC5 and 18(16 ?o imported in wino more than we i s auted. The ciicapnc^s uf mosey stimulated the consumption of fo .< ?gu fit bries our imports were eaoaty ubovo our ab lity to par, at;d wo were compelled to sond om* g ild and our bonds to redress tho ua.a;:co of traie aj tiust us. Tba contrac ion of the currency-in other words, rodudug tho vol? ume of our paper money hy paying off a por? tion of the floating debt-will nave tho eff et of lessening the consumption, and conse? quently ihe importation of loroisn fabric?. 'This, co-operalin * with the increased Vdlue of om* exports, will soon bring about an equilib? rium between our imports and exports, and, ?torbane, produce a balance of trad? in our aver. If Congress would have tho moral courage to reduco tho exponaos, and eimutta neouslv ?educo tho ptinlic floating debt, we would be able to rcsotuc1 sped. payments on cr before the first of January, 1872. lois on these expectations wo relvj for it would grtatly assist tho object in view if that body would authorize the t-eeretarv of the Treasury to caned legal tender notes to the amount of $50.030 00? annually, aa they aro pa d in for t:ixcf?, which would he ..t tho raie only of about S4 000.U00 per month. It tue revenue.from customs, which ia receivable .n go d, ard wi ich, iioc-.cdiug to all reasonable c. i cu a im. will amount, on an avurago, lo $150,100.000. is upwind unl.v in tho nroporti ti ii one-third, s y $50.00JO-J0, to the vxti i gt?ehmeut ot another SW OOO ?KW of ho tt.?u' ing deb:, wc would h-.ivu $100.000 000 applica? ble ?o that purp1 so. ? bia sum, n throjyeatu, will rod nco tho iloatmg debt from its sent amount to $350,000 ODO. or, in other w..rds, so improvoonr pap.r emm ey ar. to bring it to tm equal value w th gold.

An impression had boon mudo that tho action of tho Uouso last f riday was illegal for thc want of a quorum, and it was determined to have it over again. So this morning tho Speaker roused tho excitement of tho members by tho announcement that tho fjill to continu aud doc] ire valid tho recent election for Mayor and Aldoraun, which bad bcou passed to a third reading hst Friday, by a voto of yeas 50, mus ll. had noL boon legal" ly passed; that tho uuubcr roting, though a majority ot theso present, did not const iluto a quorum. Tho whole repr?sentation being ono bundled and twonty-:our members, required sixty-three in atiendauco to make a legal quo? rum.

The Abbeville Banner in copying the testi? mony of Tolbert. ea\ a : "It will ba apparent to every ono, after a perusal of this testimony, that Tolbert has made many statements which have not. the semblance of truth. But when he is in the bauds of tba State police, being torture- daily, no doubt, in order to extorc such testimony from him for party purposes, after he had voluntarily surrendered himself to the constabulary forces of tho State upon the faith of then- promises of a pardon for bis offences, it is not surprising tbat he has made so many gross misrepresentations of affairs in our district within tho past twelve months."

A writer in tho London Daily News gives some iutoresting details of theatrical man? agement, from which wo make a few ex? tracts : In a largo, first-class West End theatre the nightly expenses average about ?70 or ?80 aud tim receipts vary from ?39 to ?300, according to tho success of the entertain mon ts.

A play is either paid for by a percentage on the profits, or at a fixed rate per night, or it is bought. It is by no means easy to obtain good ones. The number of bad ones sent to managers, is enormous. They are usually written by" aspiring authors who know nothing of stage effects. Tc requires not only talent but a vast amount of technical knowledge to write well for the stage. Managers are .ilmost always obliged to fall back noon experienced dramatic authors, and to accept with grati? tude whatever they may offer. Three or fire act plays, wben not paid fot by a percentage on profits, usually cost from ?200 to ?300, or from ?3 to ?5 every night they are acted. The price of a cood burlesque vanes from ?50 to ?120. Farces are seldom worth more than ?10. Their success usually depends more upon the actors than the author. FOR X KW YO UK-MKRl'HASTS' LIMBS.
