A statement is copied into tbe State press,
on the authority of a correspondent of the
Savannah News, tnat Mr. B. U. Hill pur
chased a half abate of stock, from Mr. A. J.
White, for fifteen thousand dollars, and that
the mad netted $90,009 profits for the month
of January. Upon inquiry we find tlie for
mer statement correct, aave that Mr. Hill did
not purchase for himself. Tbe latter part is
certainly incorrect; we have no idea that
any such profits were realised. If so, Mr.
White would hniilly have sold.

absurd little woman, provoking either fan or

Daring her lecture last evening, Mrs. Wood-

-I told Matt. Carpenter, (.Senator,) to-day,

because I spoke so disrespectfully of tbe con-

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION.
VOLUME IV.I
ATLANTA, GEORGIA/ TUESDAY. MARCH 12. 1872.
INUMBER 49
The X inanei„1 onilssk *1 she Times.
The amount of active capital is the com
mercial world is beingrapidly increased, and
the rate of interest slwojr bnt surely reduced
the last two or three years
has proven this to be true, and unless there u
tome great disturbing cause, such as a war
between leading powers, to absorb money
and cripple industry, the amount of active
capitgl will rapidly increase, and the rate of
interest be reduced still lower.
For three or four years following the war,
United States six per cent bonds were below
par. For the last two or three years they
have been above par. Not only so, bat
within the last year tbe Government baa
negotiated $900,000,000 at five per cent, and
these are also above par.
Recently, offers have been made by leading
American and European bankers,-to take
$000,000jOOO at 5 and 41 per cent or an aver
age of 4} per cent. Five per cent, bonds
command $1 10 in currency and $1 01 in
gold. A bond at4J percent, would be worth
in the market at this time, $104 20 in currency,
and $94 36 in gold.
In this case then, the 4f per cent United
States bond commands a better price in the
English market than the British Consols.
This is a safe calculation for the shrewd
bankers who made the offer. Of course they
take the chances of wars and revolutions, bnt
these chances are remote.
Evcd with such a war as the recent one
between France and Prussia, they would
nuke large pre fits, because the effect would
to lower the rate of interest, and, there
fore, to increase the market value of the
bond.
It is altogether probable that in a few years
tlie rate of interest on what mays be consid
ered perfect security, in our great money cen
ten, will be as low as 3 per cent In the ab
sence of wara or convulsions in the next five
years, 4 per cent. Uni ted States bonds will be
at par.
In 1864-55, It was estimated that the
amount of money in the United States varied
from $0 to $18 per head for the entire popu
lation. Estimating the present population at
40,000,OCO, $G per head would give $249,000,-
000. or, at $13 per head, $520,000,000.
But wc really have about $700,050,000,
making commercial transactions much easier,
and exchange much greater and cheaper.
Commercially and financially, wo are in a
much better condition than eve! before:
Daily experience and observation teaches ns
that this is true of tbe whole civilised world.
But there must be a cause for all this. Let
us examine this question. Money, especially
if It be paper money, must have a basis of
actual values, or it will bo worthless: Let us
sec what foundation we have for the large
increase of paper money, and whether itisdis-
proportioned to the amount of gold that is in
circulation, or within the control of the com
mercial world. «
From 1850 to 1854-5, the quantity of gold
in the United States was very small in pro
portion to the population and the paper cur
rency in circulation. But this is not the case
at present. Gold is very abundant, and is
told and handled by tens of millions daily.
The great abundance of gold explains the
changes that have taken place and that are
still going on the montyed world.
In 1846 the United States acquired Califor
nia, and in 1843-9 the gold digging con.-
omtztobcfiag Bnk 1850, oar gold
bearing territory bos produced on average of
over $50,000,000 per annum. The gold pro
duction of tbe United States from 1848 to
1871, has been at least $1,100,000,000. Au
stralia for tbe last sixteen years, has pro
duced gold at tbe rale of $40,000,000 per an
num. Russia, and other countries, have pro
duced in the same period at least $400,000,-
000.
We find that the gold fields of the world
have produced in tbe last twenty years $2,-
000,000,000.
Here then wc have undoubted security for
the large amuunl of paper currency in circu
lation. Never before in the history of th:a
country has its currency been in so sound a
condition. Never before have onr commer-
cii, manufacturing, mineral and agricultural
interests been in so prosperous a condition.
Never before were our ‘future prospects so
good as now.
Now let us inquire what has been the effect
of this $2,000,000,000 of gold so suddenly
poured into circulation. At the comments.-
ment of this flood of gold there^was a great
scarcity of the precious metal; indeed this
scarcity would have soon caused a commercial
revolution, and the world would have been
forced to adopt a universal paper currency,
but for its fortun.te discovery and production.
The first effect was to fill up the almost vacant
bank vaults, bankers, etc. It required an
immense qnhntity, and a long period to fill
these vacuums.
But it is an accomplished fact, and gold
is commencing to flow out into the ordinary
commercial circles of (he world. Gold has
again become the true standard of value, the
basis of paper money and commercial credit;
and as a consequence money becomes abun
dant, the result of which will be to cheapen
interest The natural result of this condi
tion of tffaiis is to create a demand for gov
ernment bonds, and good railway securities.
This demand will continue for some years.
Despite the croaking* of prophets of evil, we
are in a highly prosperous condition, with the
future more encouraging than ever before in
onr history.
In Indianapolis (Ind.) they are discussing
the propriety of building a railroad for the
sole purpose of coal transportation.
Now the Georgia Western will be the greet
coal toad of Atlanta. Tbe Journal, of In
dianapolis, demonstrating the vast importance
of coal, says:
“ Tbe gentlemen named as directors of the
Coal Road just organized have ascertained,
begemd qvutjaa, that by constructing the road
to new fields onr city can secure ftraer a
constant and full supply of the very best
block coal, at rates that will put it in the
bands of Indianapolis consumers at eight
cents per bushel.
There is no room for cavil upon this point
Let us see now bow this may be brought
about Coal lands of the best quality, known
to contain at least 4,000 tons of coal to the
acre, can be leased at the rate of one-half
cent per bushel for the coal taken out, or
fourteen cents per ton. This can only be
done by a new road running directly from
Indianapolis to the coal fields. Mininglabor
can be procured at an average rate of one dollar
per ton. Tbe mine can be worked profitably
by allowing fifty cents per ton for placing the
coal on the can. According to these rates,
and we defy an impeachment of their .accu
racy, the coal would be delivered on the cars
ata total cost of $i 64 per ton. It can be
freighted from the mines to Indianapolis at
the rate of fifty cents per ton, making the
total cost, delivered to consumers here, $2 14
par ton, or lam than eight cents per bushel,
.counting twenty-eight bushels to the ton.
The figures we have given allow remunera
tive pay to the land owner, tbe owner of the
mine, the miner, and railroad.
And the article further states that the cit
izens of Indianapolis consider themselves
'darned," if they have to pay 13 cents a
bushel for coal, and yet we think we are
lucky if we get it at 20, wholesale.
How, then, can wc expect to make this a
manufacturing point with coal at 22 cents a
bushel?
On tbe other hand, if we could get our coal
at 13 cents, we would think the millenium
was coming. Just think of iti It would
save every family at least $40 a year in fuel,
besides building up the city by building up
manufactures. Therefore, our people are
wise in pushing the Georgia Western, Atlan
ta's great coal road.
Without cheap cool we cannot succeed in
manufactures—with cheap cool, every enter
prise of the city is stimulated,either directly,
or incidentally. We l. a* have the road;
we must control it; wc must build it imme
diately.

We have received several
upon the subject of Mr. Hill's address, all
laudatory of it. One of the articles, a very
able one, says, among other things, that,
among the papers that have commented,
and whose comments have been republished
in The Cosstitctiox, I note but one that
has written liberally and sensibly.” We
would simply suggest to the friend, who
thus writes, that all men do not look from

we are compelled to restrict the use of our
columns on this address to the sentiments of
the press, all of which we propose to give,
and which win tax onr space heavily; but
our rule is to furnish our readers as nearly as
possible with everything calculated to in

Who will say C'uffec is not on tho forward

donnas have made their debut in New York
city.
On Tuesday night, a week ago, two thou
sand of tbe colored race attended at Stein-
way’s Hall to listen to these new musical
stars. Nellie Brown and Marianne Wil
liams were their names, and they excited
Immense enthusiasm among their colored
brethrenjand sisters. Nellie is the best look
ing and was most cheered.
Why should not the colored people suc

in this direction arc great. Who that his
lived in the negro section of our Southern
States but can recall the rude but sweet capac

Forney’s two-term pathetic story
about Grant—saying that Grant consented
be a candidate for the Presidency only
upon the assurance that be should have a
second term—Is proved to be a pure Invention.
The Mew York Tribune exposes the false
hood of the tale by quotations from Forney’s
own paper, published in 1868, zealously ad
vocating and insisting upon the one-term
principle, and asserting that General Grant
was himself in favor of it.

To Remove Ghease ram Floors.—Ap
ply a paste of wood ashes; keep it on several
days and then wash off.
To Cleanse the Inside of Jars.—Fill
them with hot water and stir in a spoonful
or more of pearlash; empty them in an hour,
and if not perfectly clean, fill again and let
them stand a lew hours. For large vessels,
lye may be used.
Smoxt Lamps.—Coal oil lamps that are sub-
, ect to smoking may be improved by putting
root two to three table spoonsfull of coarse
salt in them. It will make the light more
brilliant and clear, and keep the wick clean
besides the prevention of smoke.
To Wash Merino Stockings—The tame
method should be pursued as for flannels and
all woolen and cotton goods. Boil the soap
to make a lather, wash them in this warm,
and rinse in a second lather. If white, mix
little blue. Never rinse in plain water, or
use cold water.
To Clean and Restoke the Elasticity
op Cain Chair Bottoms, Couches, etc.
Turn up the chair bottom, and with hot
water and a sponge wash the cane work so
that it may be thoroughly soaked. Should it
be dirty, use a little soap. Let it dry in the
air, and it will be as tight and firm as when
new, provided the cane is not broken.

McCAY, J.
When an estate is largely insolvent, and
there are many creditors of equal degree, fif
teen of whom have sued at law, and there
are others which have not sned, the adminis
trator may file a bill in equity to marshal
the assets, and to compel the creditors to
come and prove their debts, and not harrass
the administrator with numerous suits. But
he cannot join in such bill creditors of higher
dignity, whose claims are undisputed; espe
cially if they be judgments, at the death of
the testator.
In this State a creditor cannot get a prefer
red lien on the assets of an estate as agatust
other creditors of equal degree by getting
the first judgment against the administrator.

Tl.o duty on salt has neither decreased im

duty pays loss than $1,260,999 revenue, while
it puts a tax on the people of $7,000,030 or
more.
It has really happened that the remission
of duties on salt has stimulated home pro
duction.
From 1820 to 1830 nnder tariffs, the do
mestic production increased only ten per
cent., while importation grew 42 per cent.
And this with salt at 60 cents per bushel.
From 1830 to 1840 under non-protective
tariffs, domestic salt at 30 cents a bushel,
grew 43 per cent, while imports were sta
tionary.
Is it cot time, then, to make salt free ?
certain amount of foreign salt is needed for
its superior qualities for some purposes,
High duties give manufacturers a monopoly
and they keep np prices by restricting pro
duction. Low duties compel them to greater
production to undersell the foreign rival.
It is said that the pork packing of the
United States is fast going to Canada, where
salt is free.
Certainly it is time to reverse the policy on
this subject. Let salt be free.

In I860 he was a delegate to tbe Chicago
Convention, and aided in securing Lincoln’s
nomination. In 1863, Lincoln appointed
Judge Davis Associate Judge of the Supreme

ter, but UU manners are noble and distin
guished; he presents the real type of a pro
fessor of historical science. Father Hyocin-
tlic, on the contrary, U a priest by nature;
the sacerdotal character shows itsel f as clearly
through his lay garments as through hitCar-
mcliterobcanucloak; he isnot a devotee,but
lie is pious. In conversation Dollinger talks
but little and with simplicity; his discourse
is always forcible, rarely eloquent Ilvacintke
is always eloquent. Dollinger is often ^ab
sent, and sometimes ftnugea Hyacinthc is al
ways attentive and alwaysgentle. Both have
the simplicity of youth, the greatness of
Dollinger consists in his lerarning and In bis
K fatness; the greatness of Hyacynlhe it
charity and in liisconscicncc. Dellin
ger is passive in his convictions, and is con
tent with resisting evil; Hyacinthc is active
and feels the necessity of protesting against
injustice, Dollinger would correct error by
reason and logic; Hyacinlhe would effect the
reform by demonstration and example. Dol
linger is exclusively German; be has an en
tire faith in German ideas and an absolute
trust in tbe institutionsof his country. IlVa-
cintlic is essentially French in his qualities,
but cosmopolite in his sympathy. He loves
France more than all other nations, but he
loves humanity even belter than his
country. Dollinger has a benevo
lent esteem for all mankind, but
it Is Germany alone that he loves. The life
which Dolinger leads is that of a sage; bis
house that of a savant Elegant simplicity
and immaculate cleanliness reign throughout
fa's a; artments; the only evidence of wealth
is in the books and pointings. He is very
hospitable and seldom dines alone. His meal
is good, but not sumptuous. IIU habits are
simple, almost austere. He rises at five in
the morning, and soon after commences
work; for hU breakfast he takes a cup of
coffee, with a little bread, and until nnco'cMck
in tiie clay is continually employed. Then
comes the hour of dinner, at which he
drinks neither wine, beer nor tea. He ia
very fond of conversing with bis guests.
After dinucr be receives his visitors, and
notwithstanding their great number and his
immense amount of occupation, he finds
lime to see ail those who 6cek him. Towards
four or five o’clock he sets out for a walk,
which sometimes lasts three hours, and which
often carries him far into the country, at tlie
'' ”i companion. He sups
evening. He Is seven
ty-three years of age, supple and vigorous,
and looks much younger than he la ‘I am
old,’ said he to me one day, ‘and I shall not
live long enough to sec all this, but what has
un well must end well;” this will be a
icai reform of the Church. I am certain
of it."

Editort ConrlituUon: The writer supplied

tending there to determine which route to
travel for SL Louis, the queen city of the
West Tlie beauties of one of the loveliest
days, such os we only notice In the South to
wards the lost of February, added to the
courtesies of our popular Western and At
lantic Railroad conductor, 8. Bell, couspliled
to render the ride to Chattanooga extremely
delightful. Finding the westward bound
trains would not leave until 8 p. u., we occu
pied the afternoon, in company with an es
teemed friend, in looking at Chattanooga, her
wharfs, etc., as the arrival time of our train
up was one o'clock. We were no less aston
ished than pleased to notices wonderful
growth in building improvements, rail
bulk of business, manufacturing, and
accommodations, at ibis same thriving, nol
town. We were deeply impressed with
purpose, everywhere shown by the citii
that they had resolved to build a city,

This gab occupied 13,804 columns of
printed matter 224 inches long each. This
mokes 20,721 feet of talk, 24 inches wide, or
solid current of chat 5 1-10 miles long.
Think of that! What an immense batch of
sense and folly, buncombe and rhodomon-
tade, dense areas of platitudes, rivers of
partisan venom, and acres of rancorous per
sonality.
Patting these debates in another aspect,
there were just 8 907 yards of them, costing
the people precisely $47 50 a yank Pretty
costly talk I We imagine the job could be
done much better and cheaper.
The members are entitled to two copies
each of the Coogressional Globe al public
cost This makes 640 copies atacostof $13,-
030 78. Then, 305 more copies are furnished
at public cost to the Departments and libra
ries of the government, making an aggre
gate of 651 dead-heads at a government en-
pense of $19,844 5i
We have not included in the $472,798 67
the subsequent costs of binding, etc. This
runs the whole bill for the 41st Congress to
$553,29698.
In 1796 the cost of reporting the debates
was $3,000. In U33 the present Globe wss
established by Blair & Rives.
Rives & Bailey are the present proprietors
of the Globe.
The Congressmen pay $30,000 a year for
extra copies of their speeches to send to
their friends and for distribution as campaign
documents.
The present Congress is trying to cut down
the gas bill, and proposes to reduce its coat to
$216,753 29.
Thia will be a good move, and it is to be
hoped it will be successful
Saturday seems, by general consent, to be
a grand gas field day, when few members at
tend, and big speeches are let off The Globe
for this day is the huge one. It is fat with
long tirades. Members get permission to
print their manuscript in the Globe without
delivering them. They are thus consigned
to the tomb. The members get extra copies
and frank them to their admiring and de
luded Constituents, who read them under the
pleasing hallucination that they were spouted
to listening Senators and enraptured Con
gressmen, with a liberal sprinkling of at
tendants in the galleries. •
Yerily. these Congressmen are happy fel
lows. The pleasing fiction of debate • must
be very soothing.
Congressman Speer, of Georgia, has one of
these undelivered addresses sepulchred la i
recent Globe, and of course Is happy.
and wishing to get a full knowledge of travel
on the Mimissippi, we preferred it. The
quickest route is via Naihville, Louisville,
IJuion City, etc., to SL Louis—all rail An
other route, but a slower one, is via Corinth,
thence across Tennessee to Columbus, Ky.,
and the Iron Mountain Railroad to St Louis.
This is also all rail, but has the advantage of
landing the traveler in SL Louis in day time.
First-class fare $24 00 from Chattanooga, by
lithcr of the last two. The route chosen by
the writer might be termed the middle route,
and is via Nashville; thence through middle
of West Tennessee v* Nashville aud N. W.
Railroad to Hickman, Ky. Passing along
through tbe western part of Tennessee, we
noticed many fine bodies of land highly cul
tivated. Tbe most striking feature to the
traveler, however, is the duly stream of emi-
granta from all points East and South, who
arc moving out by thousands to populate the
vast empire rising every year in greater pro
portions west of tho Father of Waters. There
seems no end to them, and they travel all
routes.
At Hickman wc were in good fortune, as
the Belle SL Louis, one of the largest and
most elegant boats plying between Memphis
and SL Louis, was at the pier and almost
ready to start. Just here we must be faith
ful to history and assure travelers that they
need not place too much confidence in what
ticket agents declare about the certainty of
striking the boats according to arrival of
trains on the Mississippi. There is no cer
tainty in iL We happened to be on this oc
casion simply in lock. Another point, des
pite the assurance of the agent selling my
ticket, that meals on the boats were furnish
ed free of charge, I have paid extra forevtry
meal, and the captain assures me that none
of the boats on the line furnish meals, ex
cept to such passengers who purchase regular
boat tickets, which arc sold higher than the
railroad tickets are, which carry you partly
by rail and partly by boaL Sundry half do
bus may be estimated, therefore," by those
buying tickets from Railroad agents who sell
coupons via Mississippi boats. Un the coast,
going east, one ticket by steamer back or
forth guarantees meals and passage money
both.
As we are well loaded with col too, pig-
iron, etc., our speed going ud is not over
eight miles per hour. Going down well
loaded it is not over ten. Best time ever
made by an empty boat, we uninformed, for
the entire trip, 1,250 miles—New Urleans to
SL Louis—going np was 14 miles per hour,
with but two stops on the entire route. One
of the flat boats going down empty, running
against time, would make 23 to 25 miles ptr
boor. The cotton we are carryingup will go
East from SL Louia. The pig-iron ia for the
foundries above. No mountain scenery
