We often have complaints from residents of Savan nah and Hilton Head that they are not able ahvaya to oiit ain the Pxrai.p. The demand is sometimes bo great as to exhaust an Edition very soon at*or its issue, and those who wish to have the llviiAi.n regularly, should subscribe for it. We have faithful corriera in Savanhnb and at Hilton Head, and through them we always serve regular subscribers first. THE CURRENCY. The great financial problem of the olay is the best mode of reducing the volume of the currency, so as to resume specie paynfents with the least possible delay, and withtheleast shock to the industrial and commercial inter ests of the country. Too sudden a reduction of the volume of circulating medium that has become depreciated from excess, has been invariably attended bv too rapid a fall of prices, by pecuniary pressure and by mercan tile bankruptcy. There is but one way of resumption of Enecie payments, and that is by reducing tbe excess of the currency, if constituted of paper promise? to pay. There is two modes, and two modes only, of effecting this reduc tion. 1. By funding. 2. By not re-issuiug but cancelling the currency paid in for tares. The objection to funding is that by the con version of unfunded into funded debt the an nual charge for interest is increased. The other mode of reduction is attended by a saving in the payment for annual interest, but it is hazardous to all interests but the class of public creditors unless, made with extreme caution. A mode of resumption has been suggested In one of tbe New York papers tbe efficacy or success of which we cannot comprehend. The writer proposes the repeal of the Legal Tender act. The object to be attained is a reduction in the volume of paper money. That this is to be accomplished by the repeal of the Legal Tender act is assumed not proved We can clearly comprehend, it funding does not take place, that as the expenditure of the government diminishes by the reduction of our military fovces and the consequent non issue of paper money for their payment, or by the cancellation of a portion of the money paid in for taxes. The first of the9e opera tions prevents an increase and the last effects a reduction. Whether we fund our floating debt or can cel it presents a choice of evils. Would less mischief result from the augmentation of the capital of our debt and the increase in con sequence of annual interest, or the cancella tion or non-issue of the notes as they are paid in for government dues, is the practical problem to be solved. We should be very much averse to any augmentation of the pub lic debt, and the annual charge for that debt, but it is, in our opinion, a less dangerous al ternative than a too sudden reduction of the circulating medium and a too rapid fall of prices. The credit of the United States is now in the most palmy condition. The determina tion of our people that there shall be no re pudiation of our public obligations, and the sufficiency of our resources, material and fi nancial, with the readiness of our people to pay the taxes, by which those obligations may be met—give ample assurance to foreign tis well ns domestic capitalists, and loans to any extent may be negotiated to defray the unavoidable expenses of the government. — These loans may be put on the market grad ually, and would, we have little doubt, biing their par value. The maximum of taxation, direct and indi rect, has been reached. The desirable con summation of a resumption of specie pay ments will be attained with the least shock to private as well as public credit, by a pro gressive retnrn to a specie standard, lhan by . such speedy resumption as appears to be called for at the North. History throws some light on this question. Our readers will not fail to recollect that the Bank of Eugiarid came back to specie payments after a suspension of 25 years, when her notes were depreciated only to the extent of SO per cent, and the banks of the United States re mained in suspension during and subsequent to the war of m 2 until the year 1817. Thf Greai Political iKMueti of the Day. In our paper of yesterday we published the platform of principles adopted by the late Massachusetts Republican Convention. To-day we give the speech of Mr. Charles Sumner, President of the Convention, and t.he speech of Gen. Morgan, the nominee of the Ohio Democrats for Governor of that State. We lay these documents before our readers in order that they may have a full understanding of the important issues in volved in the approaching Northern elections. While the people of the Southern States have no practical part in the discussion and set tlement of these issues, yet they cannot be indifferent spectators of a contest so deeply involving their political, social and material future. All that the South can do to aid the cause of rational liberty and to preserve the country from moral, social, and polical ruin, is to give its united and unwavering counte nance anti support to President Johnson and the conservative men of the North, who are laboring to check tbe tide of radicalism and to reconstruct and maintain the American Union on the basis of the Constitution. Maisf. Election. —The Republican ticket was carried at the late election in Maine by upwards of 20,000 majority. The First Maine Artillery Regiment gave nine hundred votes out of one thousand for the Republican candidate for Governor. A woman in Charlestown, Mass., has a uumly of tame toads in her yard.

To the Sal annuh Ilerahl; Political. The voice of the dominant parly o» New England has no uncertain soued upon the great question of reconsti notion, whether you seek it in the letter of the merebaots of Bos ton to President Johnson, the elections that have taken place in Vermont and Maine, or the sentiments that prevailed without ques tion in the Massachusetts Convention. What that voice is, perhaps I need not tell you, but it is a part of the history of the times which is of interest throughout the country It is that the Southern States recently in re | iR-llion shall not be admitted to participation I in the Government until sufficient guarantees I are given for the future ; and that, to that ! end, the negroes ought to be allowed to vote, j because they have been loyal, and the white men ought to lie disfranchised, at least for the present, because they have been disloyal. If you take Charles Sumner aa the exponent of the New England Republicans, and no man more fairly represents any party in the world, that party believe that the “rebellion is only disarmed” ; that submission to the armies is a trick to restore the insurgent States to power ; that justice to the freedmeo is not intended ; that tbe national debt will be repudiated, if it can be effected by a uuion with the so-called copperhead party of the North ; and that there will be no security for the future attained after all the horrors of war. The remedy suggested by the same voice is to keep out the States, for a time, by the action of Congress ; to do away with all distinctions of race under the laws; and to demand from the South, as a condition pre cedent to the restoration of the Union, guar anties to support the national debt, and not to assume the rebel debt. You will observe that Republicanism in New England differs from the thing called by the same name in other sections. Neither the Ohio doctrine of the separation of the races, on the one hand, nor the Pennsylvania doctrine of confisca tion, are adopted by the pa rty here. On the contrary, it is distinctly asserted that the labor of the blacks is needed where they are, and that the whites should euter at once into all tbe l ights of citizens except the rights to vote and to hold office. I suppose that the leading men of the Republican party in New England would go for the immediate pardon of every Southern man upon these condi tions which I have mentioned. This is the voice of the dominant party in New England, hut I apprehend that it will not much dis turb the South now that Andrew Johnson has expressed so decided an opinion in favor of trusting the South in al! the rights and duties of citizens, and of withdrawing all restraints from them except such as are shown to be absolutely necessary. Tiiat the North will sustain the President, I have no doubt; that it wili sustain the na tional credit and tbe freedom of the blacks, guaranteed to them under the great seal of the Union, 1 feel equally certain. If the people of the South accept the accomplished facts which the war has settled, they will have no occasion to borrow trouble about the sayings or doings of a faction which will be powerless in the North; no party here can stand upon the doctrine that the nation shall decide the right of franchise in the States. When it adopts that idea, it places itself in opposition, not only to tbe South, which has encaged in the rebellion, but the slave States which were loyal, and many of the Northern States which gave a majori ty of votes for Lincoln in 1800, and again in 1804. The Massachusetts Convention The Republican Convention of Massachu setts assembled in Worcester to-day. Charles Sumner presided, and made an able speech, which may lie taken as the expression of the party in New Eugland. Gen. Butler was the second Vice President, ami he responded to the call of the Convention with an ex pression of his views. You will, undoubt edly, receive his remarks in full. No man is received with more enthusiasm in a Re publican assembly of any kind in New Eug land than Ben. Butler. Still he ia not trust ed. I doubt if he could obtain a nomination for any office ol importance in the Common wealth. Ilia record was not sound before the war. His conversion was too sudden.— Ben. evidently wants office. He is still a Ma jor General without a command, hut that cannot continue a great while; and he has no idea of returning to the tame life of a lawyer. IleVas always a great blusterer and bluffer in court, and he has been blus tering and bluffing on so large a scale tor four years that it would seem like small busi ness to return to the arena of the court room with his sarcasm and brow-beating. It would be like Jove hurling his thunder bolts at mice and such small game. By the way, It may not be known to your readers, that the Middlesex connty bar, of which But ler was for many years a member, has a rep utation throughout the State for the indeco rous behavior of the lawyers practicing there. They brow-beat each other, the witnesses, the jury and the court, and a gentleman who goes there from any other county, for the first time, finds that Billingsgate is worth more to him there than law or evidence. I am Informed by a gentleman familiar with the practice of the county that Butler is, or was, tbe originator of this reputation, and that every’ limb of the law there is more or less of an imitator. But I have wandered away from my subject, though not very far away, for if Ben. Butler had made a military reputation commensurate with his preten sions and swagger, he might have been nomi nated for Governor, which Is the same as elected. It ia true that Col. A. H. Bullock, of Worcester, has been waiting for Gov. ! Anderson to retire for three years at least, mid thai be has, all along, been tolerably i sure of the succession, especially as there j P m Re no contest to speak of in Massachu ! w ‘itß. But if there had been a contest, where ! could the party have gone for a military hero i -Neither Banks nor Butler would do ; Gen. Gordon (who has resumed the prac tice of the law in Boston) is not so much that way of thinking; Hooker (a Massachusetts man by birth) is not eligible; and of all the others there Is not one whose merits are conspicuous. If the. party depended for Its sucesas upon a military hero it would hare a poor ahow. I don’t know wlnt tbe Democrats will do uiG loss they nominate Gun Devin* again. Col. Bullock, the Republican nominee, is a genial gentlenvm, wlio was an old line Whig up to quite a late dal. He is naturally a conser vative man, hut he wants to lie Governor, and that is about his only failing. One general was found to grace the ticket—Gen. Briggs— nominated for Auditor. Brig. Gen. Minks made a strenuous effort for the nomination ol Secretary of State, agaiust the present in cumbent, Mr. Warner, but failed. The plat form adopted you must see for yourself. It ia an emphatic expression of one side of the great question, with a sidelong glance at minor issues. Material Prosperity, I turn with a feeling of relief from the pre judices of polities to the evidences of material prosperity which abound in this section.— The South luis come to market, and I look lor far heller results from the intermingling of the business men of the two sections limn from the wire-pulling and hair splitting of politicians. The high sense of honor which leads Southern merchants to first settle their old accounts and then open new, speaks well for tbe security of the future. The South must be very hungry for Northern manu factures ; its appetite is enormous. The markets are swept of many articles ; and nearly all sorts of fabrics are sold ahead of production. Our manufactories are working to their full capacity, and the only trouble is to get help enough, though all the soldiers who have come home have found employ ment, and all the “anxious and aimless fe males ’ have been bunted out. This busy season must continue, I presume, until the country which has been shut out of the market, and the country which has been buying sparingly for four years, is fully sup plied The Mechanics Fair, In a previous letter I wrote about tbe Agricultural and Horticultural Fairs of New England. Next week will be opened in this city a Fair of a different character under the auspices of the Charitable Mechanics’ Asso ciation. It will be a grand exposition of the mechanical industry of this most mechanical section of the country. It will abound with Yankee notious of all sorts, from a steam engine to a mouse-trap. For the purposes of the Fair the whole of Faneuil Hall will he used, but that will be but a small part of the room occupied, for the hall extending the whole length of the Qnincy Market—some six-hundred feet—will be connected with Faneuil Hall by a bridge, and filled with articles—mostly machinery in motion. If you want to seethe lull results of Yankee ingenuity, come on and bring all your friends. Horticultural Hull, a fine edifice on Lemout street, will be dedi cated on Monday. The annual exhibition will be held next week. It will embrace the finest specimens of fruit and flowers in the State. The Wen I llcr is fluctuating more than the gold market now-a-days. The Theatres are doing a fair business, and the people have come home from the country pretty generally. The sea son promises to be gay, but beefsteaks and tax-rates are high. lota The Republicano Staggered. The New Yoik World says that the action ot the New York Democracy ha? fallen like a bomb in the camp of the enemy. “ First, blank amazement; then explosion; then com motion, scampering, groans, writhing, terror, horror .; and forthwith, tbe summoning of a general council of war to determine what to do ” The following dispatch, it says, to an evening paper portrays the trepidation, trouble, and dissensions that reign in the Re publican camp: [Special Dispatch to the Commercial Advertiser.[ Washington, September 11.—The leading politicians of the Republican party have gathered in this city to consider their policy in the fall elections and in the new Oongres. The difference of opinion is wide, and ex cites angry controversy. Thuriow Weed is playing a prominent part. He has warned the radicals that they will be displaced from power if they press their extreme views upon the people. It is doubtful whether the conflicting elements can be harmonized. Senator Wil son, on behalf ot the New England Congress men, seems to reject all compromise. His plan is to rely on the party majority in Congress to resist the admission of the South ern States, and virtually appeal to the people against President Johnson's policy. The conservative Republicans propose to meet the difficulty of the New York Demo cratic nominations by nominating Generals Sloclum and Patrick, and Lucius Robinson. The. lending New York Republicans have had numerous interviews with Secretary Seward, with whom the project has been dis cussed. The Radicals have been reinforced by Gen eral Butler and a decidedly lively time" is ex pected. Commenting upon the foregoing, the same paper says: “The Republicans are checkmated. Ac cording to present appearances they are on the eve of a grand schism. Whether they split or hang together in an association of mutual and suppressed hatred, it ia all one to the Democratic party. If 'hey divide, our victory will, pci haps, be more easy ; but if they hold together it will be not less cer tain." The foregoing, remarks the Atlanta Intel ligencer, ia encouraging to the friends ot the administration. From other sources too similar intelligence reaches us. We at the South can be merely “lookers on” now, at the great political struggle that is fast ap proaching in the North and in the West. The East we give up. We have no hope to cheer or animate us when we look to New England. Her conservative men are overpowered by fanatical numbers. But from the North and the great West, we derive consolation in the belief that they will standby the President in his administration of the government, and in his efforts to restore the Southern Slates to the Union with all their constitutional privileges and rights. The Augusta Constitutionalist has been compelled to issue supplements to meet the excess of advertisements. Lieut-Gen. Longstrcet was in Baltimore last week awaiting a decision in his case for an application for pardon. A Siirewd Counterteitino Dodok. — On Wednesday evening, an attempt was made to pass a counterfeit fifty-dollar greenback at Llll's drug store, corner of Newark avenue and Coles street, Jetsey City, but the charac ter of the bill being detected, a policeman was quietly sent for, and soon after "arrived. In the meantime the fellow managed to get away, leaving In his stead an accomplice, dressed exactly in the same style, who had substituted himself for tbe other unobserved. As do charge could be made against him, he was allowed to depart. BY TELEGRAPH. ALABAMA STATE CONVENTION Oi'diiuiiifc of Secession Re pealed. Laws Passed During the War Ratified. (Special Dispatch to Hie Savannah Ilcralil.] Montgomery, Sept. 21. The Convention having repealed the Or dinance of Secession anil made the requisite constitutional amendments, to-day passed an ordinance ratifying all laws passed by the State Legislature during the war that are not inconsistent with the Constitution and Laws ol the United States and the Ordinances of the present Convention, except the laws au thorizing the issuance of Treasury uotes and Slate bonds. Tilt- Southern Methodist l llnit ll A Sug gestion from Biriiop Antes. The Christian Advocate and Journal of this week contains the following suggestions from Bishop Ames concerning the Southern chur ches: “The Southern bishops say that they are at a loss to conceive by what shadow ot right, legal or moral, the property is held by the present occupants. I am sorry the bishops are so ignorant of the tacts. I am happy to imform them, and all concerned, that the authority by which the property al luded to was taken possession of, was the only authority which at the time, and still, so far as I know, could enforce obedience to law, and maintain order in the rebellious States. And I now propose to the bishops nnd to all other parties interested, that Chief Justice Chase shall decide the question ot title to the property referred to, and that all shall abide by his decision in the premises; and I hereby pledge myself (and I doubt not my colleagues in the episcopacy will do the same) that should the decision be in favor of the Church South. I will at once withdraw all the ministers whom I have appointed to conduct divine services in those churches re ferred to.ffprovided the authority by which I now occupy them allows me to do so, of which I have no doubt. I think if the Southern bishops are as confident of their title to the property as they appear to be, they will not hesitate thus to submit the question to the decision of the higest judicial official officer in the Government.” Tiro Pittsburg Borgia. The Pittsburg poisoning case is still en larging. The bodies of Miss Buchanan and Mrs. Caruthers, who were supposed to have been poisoned by Mrs. Grinder, have been exhumed, and the contents of their stomachs analyzed. Poison was found in both, and the coroner's jury rendered a verdict that deceased came to their death by poison, ad ministered by Mrs. Grinder, who has been committed to answer the charge of murder. The Pittsburg Gazette says that the wo man is now suspected of having murdered several other persons. Among these is her owu brother-in-law,a returned soldier,named Grinder, who died suddenly in her house, and whose body was interred near Leech burg, where his parents reside. A Mrs. Hancock, wife of a hack driver, is also sup posed to have died from the effects of poi son administered by this woman, while act ing the part of nurse iu the family. The mother of ills. Hancock, an old lady named Carr, died alter one day’s illness, and as Mrs. Grinder had access to her at the time, there is no doubt that she caused her death. It is also reported to the coroner that she pois oned two children in the Fifth Ward, both of whom died. These were children of a German woman whom Mrs. Grinder visited, and it is said that after the children were buried Mrs. Grinder visited the house and ! succeeded in administering a dose of poison ' to the mother, from which, however, she re covered. A young girl, named Anna Gold, went to live with the fiend,and had not been there but a short time when she put poison in her coffee and almost killed her A Revolution Overhead —Beaters to b«: Tabooed. —A recent number of Galiguani’s Messenger, published in Paris, contains the following extraordinary announcement: “Oua of the principal hat-dealers of Parts has originated anew style of covering for ihe head, for gentlemen, which promises to supplant the ordinary beaver hat in all fash ionable circles. The beaver hat in fact, has sustained nearly all the possible transmog rifications of form that art can suggest, and both people and makers have grown weary of it. The new chapeau cootnbines the form of a turban, a shako, and a helmet, advan cing considerably beyond the . head in front, and sloping down at the back part. The materials used are, silk, enameled paper pre pared by a peculiar process, and a very nar row gilt band. It has a peculiar method ofven tilation and is altogerber of a very jaunty and semi-military appearance. We understand that large orders have been received from the Baden-Baden, Versailles, and Bordeaux. An invoice was sent to a dealer iu London who exhibited one for a few days in his shop wiudow, but finally wrote back that it was useless to try to introduce them there until they became thoroughly fashionable in France, as nobody could be found bold enough to be the first to wear such a singu lar hat. There is uo doubt, hower, but that in a short time this style will be universally adopted.” An Insalter of UVomcn Properly Punish ed—A Xev, York Lieutenant CoArhided fey an Actress in Detroit. [From the Detroit Tribune, Sept. 11. j A scene transpired on Saturday on the stage at the Varielies Theatre, which was not on the bills, but which to the spectators— except one— was laughable in the extreme. The particulars are these : A Lieutenant Frank Graves, of the Sixty-first New Yurk Infantry, came to this city several weeks ago and haviug a good supply of “rhino," aud hut little common sense, put on what is commonly known as a “great many airs.” He visited the Varieties Theatre, and there became enamored with a tady performer named Miss Lehman. He was Highly in at tendance at the above place, and invariably occupied a seat as near the stage as possible, the more easily probably to observe and be observed. Recently he secured an introduc tion to Miss Lehman, and subsequently, upon hia invitation, she accompanied him to an ice-cream saloon which the gay lieuten ant evidently considered as an initiatory step to the. accomplishment of his future de signs. Tne following day Graves openly boasted that ho had accomplished what he set out to do, and of course traduced the character of tbe actress. This story on Sa turday came to the ears of Miss Lehman, and sue resolved to bring the culprit to the test. She sent a friend after him, and in the atternoon, he made his appearance at the Varieties, littte suspecting what was in store for him. He was questioned as to his con duct, and did not deny having used the language attributed to him, although he ex cused nimself on the ground of drunkenness. Miss Lehman immediately sent out for a horsewhip, nnd although the lieutenant got down upon uis bended knees aud begged hard to be let off, and like a school boy, promised to do so no more, the lady plied the whip vigorously over his head and shoulders, until her strength gave out, and she was consequently compelled to desist. It is estimated that she gave him at least fifty or seven -five lashes, alter which the dis comfited and disgraced wearer of shoulder straps made his exit from the stage and theatre by the front middle entrance. The last beard of him he was traveling towards the nearest railroad depot, having made up his mind to go home. rPor the Savannah Dalit tiers W i I'llV IMAGE EVERT WHERE, BY MXA Al'Plii E. , in sunset’* gorgeous hue, Mefhluka ihy form 1 see ; In twilight's gloomier shadow* too.

A .Spicy- Bill of Scaudle—Two Clergymen on a Lark at a Theater—Arrest of the Dramatic Divines as Pickpockets. [From the Chicago Times, Sept. B.] Robert Burns, in his day, often had occa sion to chastise with his' satiric quill the debauched and drunken clergy of priest ridden Scotland, of whom he wrote : “Even ministers they had been kenn'd iu holy rapture, To visit theaters and spend their night 9 in laughter.” , A hundred years afterwards a case turns up in Chicago, which fits so nicety in the above text that would space allow, the journalist might turn c.ergyman himself, nnd preach a lengthy discourse on “history re peating itself.” Last evening at Colonel Wood's museum, during the performance of “Speed the Plough,” a gentleman in the audience an nounced to the attendant that he had been robbed ot five hundred dollars. The detec tives were put on the scent, nnd began eye ing inquisitively every countenance in the theater. At length, Mr. C. M. Edwards, superintendent of the museum, discovered a couple of “gay and testive pals,”Jwith eye glasses and enues, twirling limit' moustaches iu the most fashionable abandon ; and ap parently with much experience in the busi ness. His quick eye discovered that tbe hair was unnaturally long, and that it sat rather too jauntily on the face to be the re sult of nature or ouguents. He therefore in formed the detectives, and the two iellows were “pulled” and taken into a private room. On searching them, what was the horror of of the officers to find beneath the gay whisk ers and flashing breast pins, two clergymen, who had disguised themselves for the pur pose of indulging in a little “unlawful and unholy amusement." One of thqm had on an enormous false mustrehe, and was fixed up in the most recherche style, regardless of expeuse. The other wore a thin mask over the lower part of his face, which completely disguised his features. Papers of a theologi cal character were found on their persons, but this was unnecessary, as they made a full confession, and begged to be discharged, saying that they only desired to see wha' was like the theatre, in order that they might teach their respective flocks to shun such evil places. One of these theatrical clergymen spends his Sabbaths in preaching to a'sleepy Chica go audience ; the other (and, thank Heaven, Chicago has not to father them both,) is a minister from the country, who has left his flock for a few days to visit the State fair— and the theatre.
