The Savannah Daily Herald. BY S. W. MASON & CO. SAiirKl! XV.'IHAHO* ..Kditor, W. T THOMPSON Editor. SA VANN AIL MOM'AV, DKCKMBKK 4. Hfit. THE LFAiISI.ATiKIC. Today, the Legislature of Georgia assem bles in the Capitol at MilledgeviHe. As the first legislative body under the new Constitution, charged with the delicate and trying responsibility of re-adjusting and shap ing the Statute laws in consoousnce with the political, social and economical changes consequent upon the late revolution, its pro ceedings will be looked for with a degree of interest never experienced before. A knowledge of this fact, with a just ap preciation of the colossal proportions of tbe task to be performed, will have the effect, we doubt not, to incite both branches of this new body to a prompt, faithful and harmoni ous discharge of the obligations imposed by the confidence of trusting constituencies and the actual existence of a crisis, which, it not met in a calm, national and conservative spirit, may inflict upon us the most direful conse quences, and from which we might not recov er for years to come. As journalists having constant intercourse, through the medium of our exchanges, with all parts of the country, we deem it proper to call attention to the startling fact that we are advised by conservative journals of the north that, owing to certain causes originat ing mainly, it is stated, in the actions of our Conventions, there is a manifest reaction with tbe people heretofore well affected to wards the South adverse to President John son’s policy of immediate reconstruction. And, indeed, those well informed at tbe South, those accustomed to note tbe signs of tbe times, cannot have failed to detect of late the marked change to which our at tention has been directed. It is confidently asserted, too, by many conservative Repub lican prints, such as tbe New York Times and the Washington Chronicle, supposed to be iu tbe confidence of the Administration! and therefore to speak by authority, that Pres ident Johuson reveals, in interviews with various delegations and individuals, evidence of decided dissatisfaction with the “recov ered States. ” Leading journals of the dom inant party, which has control of both branches of Congress, heretofore disposed to yield muqh iu the interest of magnanimity to their “erring” but restored countrymen, have been gradually changing tront. Members of tbe coming Congress, also of the dominant party, are beginning to foreshadow on tbe stump «nd through the press a more rigor ous policy on the part of that body than I either the North or the South have antici pated. In confirmation of this we have hut ’ to call attention to tbe significant utterances t of Speaker Colfax, made Intely, in Wash- * iogton, a synopsis of which appeared in this 1 paper a tew days since, and the singular intelligence with regard to the changed prin- t ciples oi the President, conveyed iu the deß- < patch of yesterday from our Milledgevilie s correspondent. We hope, however, that 8 the unwelcome tenor of this telegram will ‘ be greatly modified, -if not entirely nega- 1 tived, by other and subsequent advices < from the Federal Capitol, as it is hard to be- < lieve that President Johnson, who is so t pre-eminently distinguished for consistency I and manly firmness lias changed front in the I manner and to the extent indicated. • Knowing, as wo do, that our people having * long since been convinced of the folly of op- I posing aDy obstruction, however small, to fu- < t are peace and quiet, and that they are wil- i ling to abide in good faith by the result of 1 the conflict and are eager and desirous to ac - | cept of the terms accorded to them by Pres- i idem Johnson, we confess to having observed i tbe untoward changes referred to with min gled emotions of auxiety and regret. We fail to perceive the grounds upon which this belief of the Northern radicals that there has been any real change of attitude on the part of the South is founded. They have been misled upon the subject by circumstances wholly deceptive, and for which the masses of our people should not be held responsible. Such being the case, however, that the sen timent of the north toward the South is just now undergoing a perceptible chauge, self interest, if nothing more, dictates that the latter bestir itself to discover the causes, if any, of this gradual revolution, and having done so, put forth strenuous efforts to arrest it. And to this end, we zealously adjure the members of our legislature so to act upon the political questions that may come before them as will have the effect, not inconsistent with the honor and interests ol the State, of re-assuiiug the North and of strengthening tbe power of the President in his noble aud patriotic efforts to secure to the Southern Stoles a restoration of their political rights. If the Legislature falls short of this great object in the discharge of its high duties, its session will be worse than a failure; it will be productive of positive evil, not only to our State, hut to the entire Southern people. And why so ? We answer, because the con servative men of 'the North, as well as the President,have, all along, looked to Georgia for co-operation in the work of reconstruc- tionShe has been regarded for years back as the leading Southern State, and heretofore has been held up as a kind of examplar, to her sisters of the South. To ignore a concilia tory policy will result to keep our represen tatives out ol Congress-will perpetuate the power ot the extreme radicals of the North— dmppomiourtrieod., delight our enemies, and blight the hopes of our own people. Let each Southern State conic squarely up to the friendly requirements of the Present and then we shall have done enough to satis fy any reasonable man who desire, to see be country united and in peace ; and, then, if the plan of reconstruction fulls the rwpon sihH.ty for the failure will not rest U t„m ihi Hmith, but upon those who are so, king U drive her people to that point when uatun as well as reason rebels ■■ Arrest of Mr. «i. |i.

Tbe Congress of the United State* con vene* to day. The geueral impression is, that tbe pro ceedings of tbe early part of the session will be marked by scenes ot intense excitement, if not of violence. Should the question of admission of Southern members be immedi ately considered, and not |>oslponed until after tbe Christmas holidays, as suggested by a prominent member of tbe House ot Representatives. The postponement is urged on the ground that time will |l>e al forded tor an interchange of views and com promise propositions which might lead to the happiest result, in the attainment ot such au accommodation of antagonistic views as would give assurance of a dispassionate con sideration and sentiment of the subject when formally introduced to the attention of the Senate and House. But we have little hope or expectation that the proposed expedient j will Ia; adopted, as the radicals are so eager to make war upon the President, that they can scarcely hold in until the body organ ises. Mr. Stevens, who is the coDgressiftial champion of the extreme fanatical wing ol the Republicans, and has been in Washing ton for several days, talks with the utmost freedom respecting the course he and his friends intend to pursue. He denounces the policy of the President without stint, says a Washington dispatch, and will take an early opportunity, on the assembling of Congress, to enunciate his own views, which of course, will be rabid and threatening. We are glad to hear thnt there is considerable pressure to prevent his re-appointment to the chairman ship of the Committee on Ways and Means. A telegraphic dispatch, which appears elsewhere, announces the probable re-elec tion, without opposition, of Mr. Colfax of Indiana, as speaker of the new Congress, and we aft not aware of any opposition to the re-election of Mr. McPherson as Clerk. ARE PRESENT HIGH PRICES TO BE MAINTAINED! We offered recently some reasons in favor of tbe conclusion at which we have urrived, that prices will continue high for sometime to come despite any possible contraction ot the currency. This conclusion is founded on the following indisputable principle; that money prices depend, after a system of pri vate credit is established, more on the degree of its extension than on the quantity ol money in circulation, so that there would be no certaiuty that we should return to normal prices after the contraction of the currency, unless there should be at the same time a 1 contraction of private credit, which would 1 lead to revulsion attended by a considerable 1 fall of prices. One of the evils of the artificial system into 1 which we have been led is the constant in terference of the government with those spontaneous laws of currency thnt sooner or 1 later rectify its irregularities. The first wrong step was the adoption of the system of legal tepders aud the organizu of the National banks. The period of re sumption was indefinitely delayed by this system. As has been well observed by the “ Commercial and Financial Chronicle,” of the 18lU ult., one of the ablest of our tinau cial journals. “The premium of gold being commonly regarded as an index of deprecia tion, and ns gold ranges lower or higher, tbo purchasing power of our greenbacks is sup posed to be greater or leas. It is on account of this popular belief, which is partly right und partly wrong, that so much iuterest lias beeu felt in tbe task of regulating the price of specie. By keeping gold down, it was imagined the value of the currency was kept up, however large might be tbe issue of le gal tenders. This is as much as if a gardner ordered to keep his conservatory at a given tempeiature, should neglect his fires and de vote his chief attention to tampering with the thermometer. Every one who has learned the simplest rudiments of financial science is aware that depreciation of the currency is a sign of redundancy. The shrinking of the value of the paper dollar is caused by the fact that there are too many paper dollars afloat. If this paper were redeemable in coin on de mand, the depreciation could not advance beyond a fractional limit; as the notes would be presented lor payment and the volume afloat would contract itaclf to its just dimen sions. If, however, the notes be not re deemable, there is no such spontaneous limi- tation of the issue. The elasticity with which a redeemable currency adjusts itself to the money exigencies is gone. And as these monetary requirements vary greatly at different times, the irredeemable volume of the currency, from its rigid inelasticity, may be insufficient toward the close of the year, and redundant three months later. Now un der our paper money system, the price of gold, if uninfluenced except by the currency, might be a true measure of tbe depreciation and redundancy of that currency. But the trouble is that as gold coin is our internation al medium of exchange, it is from this and other eunscs exposed to a number of perturb ing forces, which modify its price indepen dently of the movements of our domestic currency. Hence, the price of gold would not be an infallible measure of depreciation in all cases.” It is impossible to comprise in a smaller compass the true theory and practical opera tion of an irredeemable paper currency. The interference with the spontaneous ac tion of paper money is the means of giving it prolonged life, and the cause of perpetual fluctuation in its value. The source of this interference is the belief that the devia tions from the normal value of gold is in fallibly indicated by its prices in paper. The many causes to influence that value are entirely overlooked in this assumption. Gold being "an international medium of ex change" i» one of the “perturbing forces" by which its value is affected. In illustration of ihi. fact, the controversy that took place in England between the ImlUonisU and auti- bullicin'nts, affords a preguaut example.— The former contended that there bad been depreciation and redundancy during the sti*|wnsi<m of specie payment* liy the bunk of England, from 1707 to lA'J'J The latter insisted that the nolee of that institution had not undergone depreciation, and that the ad venco in gold had taken place from the gov ernment demand to pay anhahllea to it* allies on tlie continent and to fill lit military chests In the Hpauish |ieutusula If the doctriue ol the anil hulUonisu if admitted the premium ou gold la uef » measure ol depreciation ami jedundaw y The goveruuiuul si ting mi Ihi theory of the IwllhmUta wee t oneuntly Inter term* with the market fm g.dd Wlmu il iwee, In itepree* He price, a psii of it» aw u snithMUtt te the I teeewiy wee tkiewi. on tin tnarket, and when It showed a tendency to fall artificial mean* were used to eleviate the price. It is this tampering with tbe gold merket that has caused such great fluctua tions in it* value. In a financial lecture recently delivered in New York, by Mr. riilas M. Stillwell, some 1 ot the most obvious and universally admitted principles of currency are ignored. Ilia lec j turc evinces a clearer comprehension of the causes of our existing financial embarrass ments than of the remedies for their correc tion. Iu his attempt to make the legal tender notes a xuccedaiieiim for specie be has tail ed utterly'. We had conceived that there could be no difference of opinion among sound thinkers, that specie payments waq an indispensable condition of the value ot a paper currency. Mr. Stillwell thinks other wise. Let es examine his reason. He is evidently an anti-bullionist. lie dentes that there lias been any depreciation of the cur rency. He insists that the premium on gold is exclusively produced by the demand for gold iu discharge of our toreigu obligations. Now, we do not deny tbe influence of tbe cause to which Mr. Stillwell solely ascribes the premium ou gold,*/, e., the . balance of trade against the Uuited States, but no one can be so blind as not to perceive that an operative cause of great influence has beeu ihe.reduudancy of paper money, instead of limiting his attention to one of the causes only for the premium ou gold, to wit: au adverse balance of trade, if he had given due weight to the large issues of the government and the undue extension of private credit he could not have avoided the conclusion that there were two causes for the existence of the premium on gold. 1. The redundancy or over supply of paper money. 2. The extra demand for gold to discharge our for eign indebtedness. Mr. Stillwell assigus great influence to the law of supply and demand in explaining tbe phenomena he has undertaken to elucidate. His position is, that there can be no super flux of paper money while there is a demand for more circulating medium, overlooking (he facts that the government demand can not be considered legitimate of arisiug from the regular requirement of business, the wants of the government being the only measure of its issues. 2, That the exten sion of credit is very often the effect of specu lative excitement, which cannot be deemed the result of legitimate demand any more than the wants of government. Demand is not, therefore, the test that irredeemable paper money is not excessive during its is sue by government, nor that demand is the tost, should a spirit of speculation exist ex tensively, it being fostered by extension of credit, tbiough bank notes, bills of exchange cheques or book debts. There is another portion of Mr- Stilwell's lecture which leads to a conclusion that seems a logical deduction lrom his principle, that legal tenders may be adequately substi tuted for specie in. our internal exchanges, but is not consistent with the principles of in ternational commerce. It is true that we may dispense with foreign trade if the conditions on which it is to be prosecuted is the occasional export of gold, to discharge a balance of foreign payments, disarranging our moneyed relations. But this involves the saeriflee of our foreign commerce. If the United Slates Were isolated no adverse balance ot trade would arise, aud uo premi um ou gold, the effect of a dernaml to liqui date a foreign debt. The panacea ot Mr. Stillman, therefore, for the disordered con dition of our currency when it becomes ex cessive, as compared with foreiga currencies, would lead almost to the destrueliou of com merce—the loss of our foreign trade or such au abridgment of it as would at all times' preclude the necessity of exporting gold iu payment of a balance of trade. It seems to be forgotten, iu this theory, that this supposed disadvantage involves the beneficial use of that foreign capital that as sists iu the development of our own resour ces. Our forests have been cleared, our cities peopled, our internal communications extended by the use of foreign capital-by go ing into debt with foreign countries—by bor rowing capital at low rales of interest, aud obtaining credit for merchandize ou cheaper terms than we could produeo or manufac ture it ourselves.

Dear Sir, —I have been afflicted many years with severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and hands, and a general disorcterea system. Physicians and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting some triends in New York who were using Plantation Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com menced with a small wine-glasslul after dinner. Feel ing better by degrees, in a few days I was astonished to find the coldness and cramps hud entirely left me, and I could sleep the night through, which I have not done for years. I feel like another being. My appe tite and strength have also greatly improved by the use of the Plantation Bitters.
