HOW TO OBTAIN THE HERALD REG*
PLARLV.
We often have complaints from residents of Savan
nah and Hilton Head that they are not able always to
•obtain the Fraxt-n. The demand is BOtnehtnes so
great as to exhaust an Edition very soon af»er its tssne,
and those «ho wish to have the H*ui< regntarly,
should subscribe for it. We have faithful -carriers in
Savannah and at Hilton Head, and through them we
always serve regular subscribers first,
business directory of savannah.
We are now publishing a eolutimsinl more Os brief
business announcements, rarefully classified, under
the general head of "Savannah Business Directory."
Jt includes some forty leading! business men and
firms of Savannah. We propose to retain tilts as a
regular feature of the Hjsr.ua. The expense of in
serting cants ip this department of the paper is very
small, aud we believe the advertisers will receive
more than a proportionate benefit. Parties wishing
to itave their cards included in this Directory, can do
SO »y sending them to our counting room, or hand
mg them to Mr. M. .1. Divine, who is authorised to
receive them. Prepayment will lie invariably re
quired.
XK\\ FINANCIAL. FEATURES.
There are two novel features introduced
into the financial system of the United
Slates, which are not only new to
this country, but to the financial sys
tem generally: 1, During a suspension of
specie payments and a depreciation of the
'currency, while all other public dues are
payable in paper money or Currency, the
duties on imports are payable in gold, all
other public dues being payable in currency.
•>. The interest on the greater portion of the
public debt is also payable in gold, and only
a very small part is payable in currency.
Such a mixed system is quite a novelty in
finance. There is no history of paper mo
ney which bears to it any similarity. There
have been but lour remarkable suspensions of
specie payments of any duration for the last
sixty years, >. J, That of the American
revolution; 2, That of the French revolution
of 1789; 3, That of the Bank of England,
1797; and 4, That of the American war of
1812. In each and all of these there were"
neither public payments or receipts in any
thing but paper money.
The scheme which was, we believe, of Mr.
Chase's devising, has so lav worked well.
The receipts of gold, through payments of
duties, have exceeded the payments on ac
count of interest. It has fortunately happen
ed that the imports have been so large and
the rates of duty so high as to cover the out
goings for payments ot dividends on the pub -
lie debt It such had not been the case—if
the imports had tallen short of the exports
there could have been no possibility of there
being a surplus of gold in the treasury. On
the contrary, it would have been in a state of
depletion as far as gold was concerned, Un
less an extraordinary effort had been made
to replenish the treasury with this metal, it
would Lave been impossible to have discharg
ed the interest of any portion of our public
debt in gold. When we speak of extraordi
nary efforts we meau the importation of gold
at a considerable expense, aud not dependent
on commercial causes for its introduction.
The Memphis Bulletin veryjustly observes
that merchants and business men are well
aware of the advantage derived from the ac
live employment of capital anil know that
banking facilities tend greatly to the develop
ment of manufactures and the growth of
trade. It is true that disastrous results may
follow rash speculation just as small returns
are to be expected from niggardly invest
ments. What every city needs is such a
command ol capital as is commensurate with
its geographical position and the enterprising
character of its people.
the national finances.
There is much financial skill required to
manage the National finances until the meet
ing of Congress in December. Mr. Me
Culloch seems fully aware of the difficulty*
of his position. Entcitaining the soundest
views in relation to currency, he sees plainly
there are opposite perils to be encountered,
to wit: that of being too slow or too rapid
in his movements. Not to take early steps
for the resumption of specie payments would
injure the honor and credit of the Govern
ment ; to make too hasty strides in this di
rection would cause private embarrassment,
and be attended by public loss.
Money must be had before Congress as
sembles. There are two modes of obtain
ing funds: 1 Temporary loans ; 2 The sale
of the surplus gold in the treasury. The
latter would be the most economical expe
dient. To obtain even a tempory lgpn the
payment ol interest will be incurred while
there would be a loss of interest on any ex
cess of gold in the treasury. y e t must the
opposite evil be avoided by placing gold on
the market in such amounts as to reduce its
price.
The official statement on the 31st July
made the sum in gold in the National De
positaries s3o,(H*<),ooo; the receipts from
duties would, it is estimated, average $lO -
000,000 per month. It is computed that the
receipts from customs for the months of
August, September and October would then
be $30,000,000, making an aggregate ot
000,000. The sum due for interest, to be
paid in gold coin will amount in September
to $4,300,000: To this is to be added $17,-
I*oo,ooo due in November, making the sum
due for interest $22,200,000, between this
and November. If ‘the government sells
therefore all the gold in its probable posses
sion between this*and the Ist of Novem
ber it will reduce its surplus of gold to about
$+3,000,000,
But this would bring down the price of
gold too rapidly, one of the effects ot which
. correctly remarks th» New York World,
would be a reduction of the gold price in
Europe of United States bonds, producing
their return to be sold in New -York, and
leading to an unfavorable state of the foreign
exchange.

Increase of Crime In the Interior Cities.
The Augusta Transcript of tbo 12th inst.
says: .
We are pained to believe that trime is on
the increase here. Kverv night we hear of
rdbbcrws, thefts, etc. A few nights since
Mr. Hanzo, going Home, was choked and re
lieved of bis money. The next evening a
man was hauled from his wagon, half-way
across the bridge, and robbed. On Saturday
night a dry goods store on Broad street, near
Monument, was entered and cleaned out.
The victims of the first two outiages state
that the perpetrators were soldiers—or, at
least, clothed in soldiers’ clothes.
The following paragraph appeared in the
Macon Telegraph of a recent date:
Crime.— Wc would respectfully call the
attention of the authorities, both civil and
•military, to the frightful increase of crime in
in this city. Miller, robbery, lewdness and
debauchery are common every nigbt, and
the perpetrators are seldom arrested. In the
name ot Bod, cannot some means be devised
to insure the safety of our citizens after night
fall? We are forbidden to carry fire-arms,
and the majority of citizens have given up or
destroyed the weapons of this kind in their
possession, and are perfectly helpless when
attacked. Will the authorities look into
this matter?
From the following, which we cut from
the same paper of the 12th inst., we infer
that the editor's appeal has had the desired
effect in the right quarter.
We are gratified to notice that the late
stringent orders of the military commandant,
for the purpose of maintaining order in the
city, are being strictly enforced. Our city
now presents a quiet, orderly appearance ;
and lor the past two days, scarcely a drunken
man has been seen on the principal streets.
Wednesday night, particularly, was the most
quiet our citizens have experienced for two
or three weeks.
It affords us pleasure to state that we have
no cause to complain of the local police of
onr city, which is in the hands of the mili
tary, by whom the regulations for the pres
ervation ol peace and order ale rigidly and
strictly enforced. Taking into consideration
the general demoralization and unsettled
condition of the country, the great number
of strangers or idle persons, which the dis
bandment of armies and the partial disor
ganizutionof the community lias thrown in our
midst, it is a matter of surprise that we are so
free from disorder, violence and crime. While
disturbers of the public security and peace
arc.uot allowed to go unpunished the record of
our Provost Courts will compare favorably
with the information aud trial dockets of our
Mayor's Courts in former times. For this
state of affairs, our citizens -arc indebted to
the vigilance aud zeal ot the officers umT men
comprising the U. S. Military Police.
Civil Officers of Georgia. —By reference
to the last proclamation of Governor John
son, published in another column, it will be
seen that he declares “ that all the civil of
ficers that have taken and subscribed the
oath prescribed in tire proclamation afore
said, if not embraced within any of the ex
ceptions : or who may have received special
amnesty if embraced, shall proceed there
after in the discharge of the duties of their
several offices, according to the laws in ex
istence prior to the Ist of January, 18(11. so
far as the same are not inconsistent with our
present condition.” /
It is to be hoped, remarks the Macon Tel
egraph, that, under this order, a general re
sumption Os public business throughout the
State will occur. Gen. Thomas called upon
officials to perform their duties, and this call
is now emphatically repeated by the civil
authorities. The people should demand that
their servants either go to work at once or
resign. It they prefer the latter, we pre
sume the Provisional Governor has power to
fill vacancies. Public interests cannot be
neglected as they-have been much longer.
Pbesiuent Pro Tumiorß ok the United
States Senate.— lt lias been tlie custom in
the United States Senate, near the close of
the session of Congress, for the Vice Presi
dent to vacate the chair in order that a Presi
dent pro it m 1 .ore of the Senate be elected, in
order, among other things, to provide for the
contingency of the President and Vice Piesi
dent both dying during the recess of Con
gress. The presiding officer thus elected, by
a majority ot the members present, holds his
office until the Vice President resumes the
chair as President of the Senate, until the
acting presiding officer is superseded by a
ucw election. Upon the retirement of Mr.
Johnson, LafityetteS. Foster, a Senator from
Connecticut, was elected President jn-o tem
pore, aud in the event of the death of Presi
dent Johuson, unless superseded by anew
election, that Senator would act as President
of the United States until the new President
was elected and inaugurated on tlie following
4th of March.
The Boston Traveler says that several
traders from Virginia are now in that city,
searching for their creditors. One of these,
who was indebted to a merchant SI,OOO,
paid the amount in gold with interest.—
Another paid $3,000, and other sums, of
greater amounts, all in gold. In every case
the dealers contended that the debts were
contracted upon a specie basis, and should
be settled upon the same. .
Stephen Girxkd's Rii.e.— “l have always
considered advertising, liberally and long,
to be the great medium of success in busi
ness and prelude to wealth. And I have
made it an invariable rqlc, too, to advertise
in the dullest times, as well as the busiest
long experience having taught me that
money thus spent is well laid out; as by
keeping my business continually before the
public, it has secured me many sales that I
would otherwise have lost.
The Albany Patriot Icarus that in the ex
treme southern portion of Georgia, crops
look better this year than last. In Thomas,
Brooks, and the lower part of Mitchell, the
coin crop surpasses that of any previous
year since the commencement of the war.
The question having been referred it has
been decided that the Revenue Act requires
individuals who are members of firms to take
out individual license as well as license for

question was raised between the internal
revenue collectors and certain lawyers.

AFFAIRM IN MK VICO.
The news from Mexico lias been so con
flicting and unreliable as to leave the public
in constant doubt as to tbo real (Erudition,
politically ami socially, of this truly unfor
tunate country. At one.time it is an
nounced that the Government of Maximilian
is on the verge of dissolution, and that the
departure of lire Emperor from the country
would certirinly take place at an early day.
Then follows a couuter annucialion that a
brilliant victory lias been achieved by the
Imperial over the Liberal forces, and oi the
permanent establishment of the ruling dy
nasty. There seems to be no responsibility
ot the press or the community for the correct
dissemination of news from that quarter.}
It must have occuiredto every intelligent
reader that it is an easy thing to establish a
government in Mexico, whether it be a Re
public, a Dictatorship or a Monarchy-; the
difficulty is to maintain it. It is pre-emi
nently the land ol revolutions, anil the people
excel all others in the art of getting rid of
unpopular rulers.
It is therefore not unreasonable to sup
pose that the Mexicans, not having accepted
the empire as a permanent institution, have
gone to work in their accustomed way to
demolish it; and that it successful, Mexico
will revert to her old condition of a Repub
lic,ruled by military chieftains holding preca
rious power and supplanting caclr other in
rapid succession.
A most significant sign of the failure of the
Empire is the late “pronunciamento” ad
dressed to the Mexican people, by Santa
Anna, tire ablest man, that the country has
produced, for the last half centijjy at least,and
who has for more than forty years been tire
most prominent character in Mexican history.
We believe he has been twice Dictator and
seven times President, aud as often an exile.
Certainly no man understands better than
he, the temper and condition of his coun
trymen.
He is now residing on the Island of St.
Thomas, in the West Indies, whence he
sends the address to which we havd referred.
We quote two of the most significant pas
sages of this characteristic document. Ha
says :
We thought that the Archduke Maximil
ian of Austria would restore to us peace,
and he has been a hew element of discord;
ihat wise laws he wouiil enrich our treasury,
aud he has impoverished it in an incredible
manner; that he would bring us happiness,
and the misfortunes are innumerable which
in so short a tinffe he hits heaped upon the
ruins of ensanguined Mexico ; that, in •fine,
he would be consistent in bis principles and
promises, and he accepted the views of Pres
ident Juarez in all that related to reform,
at the same time that he persecutes him
and gives him war to the knife.
European adventurers from his guard of
honor. French bayonets are the .foundation
of his throue, and in the meantime many
see themselves condemned to obliviou, to
the contempt of the veterans of indepen
dence, once the glory of our nation, and
now objects of derision and mockery for our
foreign soldiery. The hour lias" come in
which we should exterminate from the sa
cred soil of the free the farcical rabble who
profane the laDd with their feet, and insult
us with their presence.
It is evident, says a contemporary, that
this veteran soldier and revolutionist sees
that the empire of Maximilian has run its
course, and is about to be overthrown by
the people of Mexico themselves. The ex
pulsion of the French usurpers by the Mex
ican people, without foreign aid, would be
the most complete and satisfactory enforce
ment that could be desired by the advocates
of the Monroe Doctrine.
GOV. HAMILTON OP TEXAS.
Os all the addresses delivered l»y the re
cently appointed Provisional Governors of
States, that spoken by Governor Hamilton,
on his arrival at Galveston, is per
haps one of tlie most remarkable for
ability and breadth of comprehension. It is
doubly significant, also. He was himself a
Union Refugee, aud was called upon by
some who had been such and others who
claimed to have suffered persecution, with
siguificant intimations that he was expected
to especially aid and, perhaps, avenge them.
His answer was temperate, kind and con
ciliatory. He intimated that Texas was self
deceived in attempting to go out of the
Union, and that was “an error of the head
rather than of tlie hoart.” With this view
he argues the question with them.
He concludes, after reciting that the
course now familiarly known as the Presi
dent’s plan is to be pursued by him, saying
“no feeling of malice or spirit of revenge will
cause him to swerve to the right or to the
left
The great mass ot the people of Texas
have accepted without reserve or equivaca
tion “the situation,” and are accommodating
their sentiments and conduct with commend
able promptitude to the requirements of the
new Provisional Government.
Rise in Newspapers. —The New York cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says:
Should the Atlantic telegraph prove a suc
cess, one of the first effects of the revolution
it must create in the newspaper business will
be to increase their prices. The enormous
expenses entailed by the opening lip of this
new channel of intelligence will otherwise
crush out of existence all but the very
wealthy journals, and even these could not
survive it long. As the news is for the bene
fit of the public, therefore, it is urged, it is
but right that the public should pay for it,
and lienee, concurring in that view, you
must not be surprised to learn that all, or
nearly all, of the New Y r ork journals have
agreed to advance their prices one-hylf, jnst
as soon as the telegraph begins to send on
its news. The rates of advertising, also,
will probably be proportionately enhanced.
No such agreement has been arrived at as
yet, but it is talked of, and in the nature of
the thing it can scarcely be avoided.
Hon. 'll M. T. Hunter of Virginia, is a po
litical prisoner in Port Pulaski. Less than
a month ago the body of Sarah, a lovely
daughter of sixteen, was placed in the fam
ily burying ground. Ten days since the
a son ot fifteen, Musco, was drowned while
batbing, and sleeps besides his sister. Mrs.
Hunter is said to be almost distracted.
Reducing Wages—Strikes, dec. —The N.
Y. Sun notes the strikes going on, in conse
quence of the reduction of wages, and hopes
employers and employes will* in concert,
agree upon rates.
Wages in genera), says the editors, are
very nearly, if not quite," as higli at the pre-.
sent time as they were when gold was quot
ed at 281—when coal was selling at $1.7 per
ton, and butter, groceries, dry goods, &c„ at
corresixmding prices. All these articles
have met with a material reduction in value ;
merchants, manufacturers, and oilier busi
ness men receives less for what they have to
sell and it is natural they should ha e to pay
less for the labor they employ.

The Corruption of Parisian Society.
REMARKABLE STATEMENTS OF M. DUPIN.
Tlie I’aris correspondent of the Loudon Star draws
this dark picture of the condition of society in l’arus;
“Avery curious debate took place a few days ago
iu tlie Senate, on the present state of the social evil
iu tlie city of Paris. From the nature of the subject
discussed the government reporter was not admitted.
M. Dupiu has, however, printed tlie speech lie de
livered on that occason lor private circulation. In
it lie energetically condemned the luxurious lives
lie upper classes of Parisian society, compar
ing me wotueft of tlie present day to tlie frog
iu the fable, who burst while attempting to swell it
self to tlie size of Ins friend the ox. ’When a married
woman h*s not tie t/uoi to pay her bills, she shrinks
from telling her husband, ilcr own purse being
empty, she dresses on credit, which cannot last for
ever.’ Therefore she signs bills ol exchange, of which
tlie payment is almost invariably fatal to virtue.’ 1
believe tlie veteran oralor by no means exaggerates
lliis picture of tlie highest circles of Paris society,
where tlie object of every woman is to outvie her ac
quaintances in the lavish extravagance of Iter dress
anil eiiUmrtitje. in fact, it is now recognised that so
ciety closes (lie doors uS its salons t > those whose
ntl.se e» .«('(/<<•(an expressive term I cannot render
into English) does nut come up to the conventional
staudard of the day.
“it was very lately a gentlemen of moderate in
come assured me that seven hundred francs the
lowest sum lie could spend each time lie took Ills wile
into a french bull-rodm, and even then t lie lady seem
ed singular Horn the plainness of lier attire. Suelt
being tlie slate of tilings in the respectable portion
of the community, it may easily be imagined to what
the expenditure of another and yet more reckless
class of women now amounts, aiid tire consequent
ruin brought on families whose suns the auouynias
of flic hour bronglit iu hopeless debt and difficulty.
M. Dupiu suggests a somewhat Utopian remedy,
namely, the establishment of a society similar to that
of tlie matrons ol file Roman republic, where young
girls ami married women would lie trained to Habits
of ’modesty, decency and domestic virtue.' The
scheme may have been practical in the days of Lycnr
gus and Cato, but Ido not see by what ’process of
reasoning ,M. Dupiu will induce tlie t’oralies and Bou
langers of the quartier llreda, or even tlie princesses
and marquises we see in file Bois de Boulogne, To
exchange their point tl'Alemx/n dresses, or their gilt
boudoirs, for even a temporary residence iu M. Du

would amount to $176,000,000, or enough to pay the
Interest on the entire national debt when all the legal
tenders are reduced to bonds and all the floating debt
is funded. But the revenue actually derived from
this source is not one-tenth of this amount. All the
rest is lost by illicit distillation, smuggling and cor
rupt and unfaithful conduct ot revenue oUtcials.
Affairs in Washington, Ga. —We learn
from a gentleman from the above named
place that its citizens have been somewhat
exercised in consequence of a sudden and
unexpected order received by Mrs. Robert
Toombs to vacate her dwelling and premises,
taking therefrom nothing but her personal
effects aud two week’s provisions. This or
der emanated from Brigadier Gen. \yilde,
Assistant Commissioner Freedman’s Bureau,
who intimated in the same document that
the premises were looked upon as “aban
doned property,’’ and therefore to be taken
possession of, and applied to the use of the
Freedmen’ Bureau. •,
On the day succeeding the receipt of the
order by Mrs. Toombs (Sunday last), a rela
tive of the family repaired to this city and
laid the facts before Gen. Steedmen, who,
in liis usual prompt and considerate manner,
issued an order to Brigadier Gen. Wi|de to
reinstate Mrs. Toombs in her residence:
Another matter, transpiring in the same
town, was called to the attention of General
Sleodtnan, ami he at once despatched the
proper officer to investigate the affair; as
we are confident that justice will be done in
the premises, we await the appropriate time
to lay the facts before our readers.
