Letcher (search for this): article 1
The currency of '61-'62. --Governor Letcher, in his Proclamation, proposes to do that which we felt satisfied from the first would have to be done — viz: to retrace the step taken by the last Legislature, by which a very large part of the currency put afloat by the Confederate Government was refused to be taken in the paymenooperate with both Governments, in refusing to receive them on deposit after the day on which the Confederate Government declared them no longer fundable. Gov. Letcher, in his Proclamation, says very truly: "While it is proper for the Government to call in its excessive issues, and to endeavor to fund its debt, it is nohe 8 per cent. convertible notes into bonds, we are certainly not surprised that a large amount of those notes are still in circulation. But, nevertheless, as Gov. Letcher says, it was not proper to attempt to drive that currency out of circulation by discrediting it. Such an expedient not only subjected the public to inconvenien

wever much inclined they might have been to do so. That currency was floating everywhere, to the utmost extremities of the Confederacy. Even could the new notes of the 1st of April and subsequently have been disseminated rapidly enough to supply a currency to take their place, they could not have been collected and delivered in due time. So the holders were required to perform an impossibility, and for failing to perform it they were to be punished by condemning the notes they held after August 1st to depreciation! Every one knows that the financial policy of the Government, as displayed in the promise of 8 per cent., and in the effort to call in the notes, was suggested by the most proper motives, viz: 1st. A desire to give the Government currency good standing; and 2d, a purpose to diminish the amount in circulation by forcing the holders to convert it into bonds. The first expedient was fallacious. It had no effect at all. People would have had the same faith in it had it
January, 4 AD (search for this): article 1
and unwisely, as well as unjustly, we think, determined further not to fulfill the promise thus made.--Besides, the notice that a part of those notes would not be converted into bonds at all after the first of August, and another part only at 4 per cent., was entirely insufficient to enable the holders to bring them in, however much inclined they might have been to do so. That currency was floating everywhere, to the utmost extremities of the Confederacy. Even could the new notes of the 1st of April and subsequently have been disseminated rapidly enough to supply a currency to take their place, they could not have been collected and delivered in due time.

North Carolina (North Carolina, United States) (search for this): article 1
alculated to excite a panic, to the injury of the Government, and he convokes the Legislature "especially to repeal the act prohibiting the reception of Confederate notes of a particular date, in payment of public dues. " To this he adds very pertinently: "Much rather would I punish those who refuse to receive the currency of the country with the utmost penalties of the law." We do not doubt for a moment that the Legislature will repeal this act. It ought never to have been passed. North Carolina acted more wisely than Virginia. She determined to receive the rejected currency and very patriotically to invest it in Confederate bonds. While we should be gratified to learn that the Confederate Government secured the conversion of a very large amount of the 8 per cent. convertible notes into bonds, we are certainly not surprised that a large amount of those notes are still in circulation. But, nevertheless, as Gov. Letcher says, it was not proper to attempt to drive that curre
