The Savannah Daily Herald. BY S. W. MASON & CO^ KAMI Kfc W. W. T. THOMPSON... Axorl.lf Kdltor. ■-AVAXNAII. FOR IjOC.IL SITTERS SEE THIRD PI«E. to advertisers. our advertising patrons are reminded that adver tisement* inserted in the Morning Edition of the Hzra.i. Will appear in the Evening without extra thar e. Advertisements should lie handed in as early as possible, but will be received as late »t 12 o’clock at night. We adhere to our advertised rates except for Jots advertisements, or those inserted for a long time, on which a reasonable discount will lie made. 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. The Albany Patriot informs us that sever al gentlemen are now engaged in building cotton boxes to enable our people to ship cotton from Albany to Apalachicola) down Flint, river* 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 tiie firm of which they are members. The question was raised between the internal revenue collectors and certain lawyers. Col. J. J. Seibles, a prominent editor of Alabama, and Minister to Belgium under President Pierce's administration, died a few days since at liis residence in Montgomery. Mi. Thomas G. Simms has been appointed Postmaster of Atlanta. olp7 < .T!'lV CUtral , Pacific Bailroad is in com- SLr l Gan or lfp° rde J fr ? m Sa c»niento to Clip- Mills, having 137 cars and tight locomotives.

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.

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. Georgia is fortunate in having an officer in power who has the will to be just, and fear not.”— Arnjmtp Transcript. The Oath or Office. —Under the Govern ment of the United States,, by an Act of Congress passed in 1832, no man can hold office save he take the following oath : I, , do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I have never voluntarily borne arms against the United States since 1 have been a citizen thereof; that I hare voluntarily given no aid, countenance, counsel or en couragement to persons engaged in armed hostility thereto ; that I have never sought nor accepted, nor attempted to exercise the functions of any office whatever, under any authority, or pretended authority, in armed hostility to the United States; that I have not yielded a voluntary support to any pre tended Government authority, power or constitution, within the United States.
