The Savannah Daily Herald. MASON CO. SA2UCKL W. MASON, Editor, \V. T. THOMPSON, Associate Editor. Official Paper of the City. LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TH&ITY AND COUNTV TUESDAY JANUARY 16. I860. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Tbe Slate Legislature re-assoinbled at Mil- Icdgeville yesterday. It will bo seen by our despatch that there was a bare quorum in each House, and that both adjourned without transacting any business. Less Interest is felt now in tbe proceedings of the body tbau was manifested during its first meeting in December, owing to the very great uncer tainty which then existed in reference to the re-organization of the civil government of the State, and the measures which would be required ot the Legislature as a con- didem. precedent to the -re-cstablisbment of poJTtTeal relations with the Federal Govern ment. The line of policy deemed necessary to meet the requirements of the Government at Washington having been adopted, the latifi- catiou of the constitutional amendment pro hibiting slavery having been acquiesced in, and laws introduced giving protection to freedmen in their personal property and civil rights, it remains no.v only to adopt a more perfect code of laws for the government and protection of that class ot our population— to adapt the laws of the State to the new order of things, and to enact such laws of general utility as may be deemed necessary Hud expedient. The Freedoien’s Code, framed by the com mission appointed for that purpose, aod of which we gave a brief synopsis a few days since, will be adopted with such amendments :tnd additions as may be deemed neeessary. The perfection of this code, with other kindred matters, will occupy'much time, and will, in all probability be taken up at once. A very large number of bills and resolutions were introduced during the first two weeks of the session, but were not acted on owing to the imperfect organization of the State Gov ernment. These measures will now be considered, and from our knowledge of the body we anticipate a harmonious,enlightened and expeditious discharge of the legislation required by the interests of the State. The^election of U. S. Senators, yet to be made, will hardly be pressed upon the Leg islature until there is at least some prospect that Georgia will have need tor such repre sentatives in the Federal Congress. TAXATION AND ITS EFFECTS ON PRICES, AND THE EFFECTS OF CURHENCY ON PRICKS. There are two causes that influence prices and that act in the same direction. The first and moBt influential is the abundance of money, and the secoud is the rise of prices in proportion to the premium on gold, or the redundancy of the currency. The rise of prices is a necessary effect of that increase of purchasing power that augments demand, and the rise of prices from which is the in evitable consequence of the premium on gold. The advance of prices from increased taxation must take place to enable the pro ducer or dealer to obtain the usual rate of profit. It is too hastily assumed that taxes iu all cases fall on cousuroptiou. The influence ot the law of'Remand and supply on prices, iu consequence of taxation, is frequeutl}' over looked. If there should be an export duty imposed on raw cotton, the consumer will have to pay it, as the supply, under present circumstances fall bhort of the demand, whether in the hands of the producer 01 dealer. If we iuvest the effects, aud sup pose the supply to exceed the demand, the consumer or dealer pays the tax in the fall ot the article. If we suppose an excise im posed, in proportion as the market is scanty or abundantly supplied, the price is regu lated by that proportion ; so that in every imaginable case prices must advance or re cede to preserve the level of profit. There is a constant tendency towards the ultimate incidence of all taxation, whether imposed on exports or imports, on property or in come. Very little account appears to be taken of the rise of prices from taxation. The rise from the inflation of the currency is dwelt upon almost exclusively. But if the advance is attributable to both causes—first, the in fla tion of the currency, and second, the increase- of the taxes—it is unphilosophical to assign the rise ofprices to only one of these causes— the inflation of the currency. It appears to us there is much confusion, also, in tracing the proximate causes of a rise ol prices from excess of paper currency. Much of this confusion arises from confound ing temporary with permanent causes. The phrases, depreciation of the currency, excess of currency, and equivalent expressions, are only relative. The affirmation that the present currency is three times the amount of the paper currency before the war, can never be brought to a test, because the volume of the circulating medium increases with the extent of the business to be transact ed. and this cannot be measured from tbe extent of the transactions in bank notes merely, but from the whole mass of these transactions on credit, bills of exchange, checks, book debts, &c. The amount of Government and bank notes in actual circu lation as money being thus three times more thau before the war, it is not denied that this it in excess, ns compared with ordinary ■years ; but that it is excessive, as compared with tit- requirements of the community, is contradicted. Now that this is no test of the legitimate wants of the commu nity when business does not assume specu lative excitement—when an extraordinary number of bills of exchange, bank checks, bank credits, book debts, and the Various re presentatives of transactions on credit are not issued—needs no argument to prove. Against the excessive use of paper money! whether issued by Government or bank' history bears its full testimony, it follows necessarily that the premium on gold i 8 the real measure of the depreciation or the re dundancy of the currency. THE LATE MATTHEW H. MCALLISTER To the Editor of the Herald: Vour correspondent, “R. D. A.,” has claim ed lor the late M. H. McAllister and his col leagues in 1834 (of whom I would speak in all kindness) merits and services which I am sure, were they living, they would prompily disclaim. The merit ol obtaining the charter for the Central Railroad and Canal Company in 1834 was certainly theirs. But the main or first contest, and the first charter, or which the second was in the main a rehash, was in 1833, before Mr. McAlister was a member of the Legislature. To the Chatham Delegation in that yeat the merit is due (if there be merit iu the mere success- lul performance of an obvious duty) lor proCcuring tbe first charter, under which it is believed Col. Crugar made his reconnois- sauce and report. The precurement of the charter of 1833 was a first victory, which was confirmed by the charter of 1834. _ Iu giving praise to Mr. McAllister and his colleagues ihere was not occasion to appro- propriale to them whatever their predeces sors had done iu tbe common cause, nor did their reputation require it. Such invidious distinctions are not in good taste, and are very lar from serving any goodend.. D. Savannah, Jan. 15, 1866. Control Railroad.—The annual report of the President and Superintendent of this road, containing a statement of its affairs up to'the 1st December, gives the earniogs and expenditures of the road since the company commenced to receive ana pay out U.

The machinery is in bad con dition and will need extensive repairs. But few cars or engines were lost during the war, but they are all in bad order and much scat tered over the country. The total destruc tion of track and bridges will reach about 139 miles. The only station houses left standing are at Nos. 2, 2 1-2, ID aud 14. The process of repairing has been greatly delayed by the difficulty of procuring and retaining labor, of purchasing or hiring teams and wagons, and of getting timber l'or cross-ties and bridges. The superintendent says their troubles are now removed, and the work will hereafter progress according to contract. Release of Hon. Geo. Davis, of North Carolina.—A private letter from a gentle man in Wilmington, N. C., to a friend in this city, states that he had just returned from Washington, whither he bad been to bear a petition for the release of Hon. Geo. Davis, ■who was Attorney General of the^ Confede rate States, having been entirely 'successful in his mission. The President, in response to the petition, releasec^Mr. Davis, who has eturned to his home in Wilmington. Destructive Fire in Nazbvllle.

The International Hotel, kept by Reed & Durand, was damaged materially, the kitch en being entirely destroyed, involving a loss amounting to $2,000. Tiie aggregate los9 cannot fall short of $200,000, about one half of which is insured. C. R. Moores, of Cook, Moores & Co., slept iu the counting room at the end of the store, and perished iu the flame9.
