Thk RKiirr.mrnos or ttii: Cm rkxct. Senator Sherman, chairman of the Committee on Finance, made rr terday an important speech in fnr of hi bill for the tncrrase or the roiumc of the grrenbick currency, and fnr th withdrawal or thrre per cent, ccrlifi rates and the isne of coin note. He showed the crrat inequality between the banking facilities nnn rnjnyrd by the Esstern and the Western Stairs. The Western and Southern States arc elamonnc lor more currencr. ineir business interest imperatively demand it, and their commerce is suffering Imm a lack of it. The original ili-tnbntion, in 1S65, wa made in phin tiolation ol law, laying hold of the pretext of a haty act psed on the same date a the original measure, and whoe pro.i sion expircl by limitation on the 1st si July, 1S05. At that time tho vol nme of currency wa lmt little overthc hall ol the S-100,000,000 provided for. All the rolnme of currencr isued to Eatcm banks alter that (fate wa in plain violation even ol theViw, whirh alone could !e qnotcd to justify it. It was an injntie to the est, and de manded a rrmedr. This remedy culd be accnmplihrd onlr in ont ot two modes either by taking a portion of the currency Imm the hast, and a- signing it to the West and Sonth, or by increasing the volume of currency. Mr. Sherman favored the latter allern- alive, in order not to damage the in- teresta ol the EaU He acrordingly propose lo ine Sl5.000.O00 to the West and South, railing in an equal imnsiiitn inc Hirer: j-r cmi. ttinu'. calc. which he chraclenzl tbe most dangcron and oflrnsivc form of debt, being navment at t 1-1- I-..

CArontcfe, the jers o dirctifi wrtil twenty Jan. 14,1 B7rX one. ,14tlB7rX ''i NO. 4. Letter freai B. f. JtareB- SCTTKACE. The following letter will appear in the Philadelphia Vw to-day: "WasHrxcTox. D. January lC, 1870. f The ratificstion of the Fifteenth Amendment is at last conceded by the Democrats, and we look for tbe procla mation of tho fact as sonn a Texas and Mississippi are restored. Virginia will be readmitted befdre the eed of the week, and I hope that the'vote ol the lower House ol the Ohio C?sila J tare, concurring with the Senate ol that State, will be telegraphed to-mor-tow afternoon. Thi, with tbc certain rote of Iowa, (Legislature now in ses sion, and largely Republican,) and the equally certain vote of Nebraska, (Le gislature to meet in February.) will give ns twenty-eight vote without New York, Texas, or Georgia; and twcnty-i"ht is the constitutional three. fourths. It is now sale to infer that at least twenty nine States will ratify, ex clusive of Indiana, which some of the Democrats insist has not legally acted. or of New York, which ha exercised the right, so strongly denied by the ablest jurists, of withdrawing her sanc tion. Against these just recognition of the imperative and logic-il obligations im posed by the overthrow of slavery, the Democratic leaders hate sternly ar- rayed thenvelvrs. A in Emanripatinn. thry have conceded nothing to Liberty. Tliry have fought every inch of the ground on the Mile of aristocracy. When the proslavcry chiels threw down their arm, and accepted the judgment they had invited, the Demo cratic cnicis u inc .onn rcizcu ineir abandoned weapons and renewed the conflict. As in war, to in pace, the stiirit of tcbellion is constantly kept alive tit the sympttby or the .Northern Democrat. No lesson teache, no ad monition warns them. They rush npon their fate with a blind infatuation that could not ho tliIlcd by tho arbitra tion of the sword. TIict seem toicver to be seeking, not for new world to conquer, bat for new fields to loc. And not content with driving the South into defeat in battle, they feree their party, North and Sonth, into a scries ol disasters in the political strug gle. t title all the world wonder, ap plauds, and copies the Repnhlican ex ample ol America, the Democrats ol the United Stales seem to boist in mak ing lhcmclvc the exception to the rule. Loing the confidenc ol the loyal whites by their aid and comfort to the rebellion, they have rounded th record of their siame by losing the respect ol the liberated black, whoe physical and whose mental and political ser-i tndethey still hanghtityand consilient ly advocate and demand. The Filteenth Amendment change the whole policy or the uovrrnmrnt. It gives a new reading to the Constitu tion. Under the oll construction our laws were made to enslave the freeman and to hnnt the slave. Our cunrtj.ntir Legila;urrs, onr pre, even onTpiil pit, wcrr alt so many jmlicr agents to help the dealer in human beings to re cover his flying chattels. Bnt now, thank God, we have reached a belter and a holier slat cminhip. Our laws, deriving light, life, ami force from a changed and purified Contitutinn, are framed not t oppress but to np'ift the poor and the frirndlr. They are en acted to pro'ect right, not to perpetu ate wrongs. Thry Invoke the high powers ol the Stttr, the press and the rhnrchto secure the promised blessing ot free government to all mtn. And now, instead of outraging the peace and dignity ol society by armed combina tion to cnloree abhorrent statutes, nn der which to tear the mother from her children, anil the children from- the mother, the law, clothed in the awful thunders of a perfectly repotilican Con stitution, will aert its authority in every State, county, and township ol the "llepul.Iie, to maintain the tight that come from God alone, and can neither bo weakened nor withheld by man.

How Qcefx Vktosi.v Looks. A correspondent ef the Cincinnati Gauttc furnishes the fallowing results ot an inspection ef the Britih Queen: Qaeen Victoria is shoit and stout so ttont indeed, that tat would, per haps, be a more eorteet term. Her facr is IhII, rtwml, very large and heavy ; mouth large, ami h th'iH, but n tosher impres'ing yen diagrreab!y ; noso rather nremiiient. bl symmetrical in shape, and teimifnling sharply; head of medium swe. lmt looking some what disproportionate to her large fice. mora nnticcantr tor lirratlin at the tiae man height, awl Bat or level m top, fore head straight ami very finely developed, eye. I think, bine; expression nnas siiming, kind, and tmH ly. Her hair is quite gray therefore I mlrr, all her own. She looked te me from fifty five to sixty, thsHigh her actual age is fifty. Her contperte) ha the brightest hue, indicative of mneh drmter-wine drink ing, which is said to be very regular with her, and seme Tnaiieien people, say she dWt restrict herself to tho milder stimtilaitis. A Max .Ma brie hi SraruoTnEU. Some day .sjfo the emmiHtity in tho vicinity of Carter' Station wa consid erably cxre"el over the announce ment that a Mr.Lymt, wb lived in the neighborhood, had married hi mother. It seems that Lron's father had been twice married, ami the children by tho first wife continued to live in the fami ly after tm second marriage, ITn. the father, died le.virjf hi second wife n widow, ami Lyon, the son, married his fithcr's widow. The clerk issued tho license without a knowledge of tho lacts, ami tbe mbmtcr requested to solemnire the marhige declined ; a mag' ttrMc likewise refti-ed, and the pair crossed over to Slony Creek, wheio they were unknown, aitd wore married.

Tho better way, howeter, is to mix all these manure together as made- .Jmrrcm Agrieuturitt. FitEKztxa Skkd. A correspondent asks ns, what i tho use of exposing peach and plnm seed to th-t action of frost. 1 he ehrlls ol the seed are com posed of two thick and woody halves or Talves ; the germ ran only force its way nut br tcparat ing these halte of the stone When the stone have been allowed to become dry, they cohere with such firmm s. that the germinat ing seed is notailo to part them, but il they are exposed to alternate freez ing and thatt ing the halves usually separate with great readme". Should any escape the action of Irost, they are carefully cracked. By covering the seels with rnrth,tan or other material, and allowing them to remain exposed through tho winter, we imitate that which happens to the seed when the fruit projiagatei itself in the Mate of nature. lb.
