Hon. R. M. T. Hunter on the Finan
cial Problem.
Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia,
formerly United States Senator, and at
present Treasurer of his State, is a gen
tleman who, as is well known, has been
for many years prominently connected
with the politics of the country, and
has made a well deserved reputation as a
statesman and financier. As an ante-bel
lum Senator from Virginia, during which
time he was Chairman of the Senate Fi
nance Committee, he has devoted
much time to the study of po
litical economy and finance, and his
opinions on the latter science have always
commanded respect. The fact, therefore,
that he lias written a long and exhaustive
letter on this subject, so absorbing at this
time, will excite general interest, es
pecially as he advances some new
ideas on the subject of a safe and proper
paper currency to be issued by the gov
ernment.
In his letter Mr. Hunter takes very
decided ground against a paper money
convertible on demand into specie. He
cites at great length historical facts to
prove that in all ages such power given
to gold and silver has been injurious.
Inasmuch as the supply of specie is
nearly always limited in all countries
having a paper circulation, and
paper currency based thereon must
be largely accepted on credit, the power
to require the convertibility of such
paper into coin on demand has the
effect of enabling a large holder
of such notes to cause stringency
in money at will, to bring about
runs on banks at pleasure,and force them
at any time to suspend specie payments.
Thus not only can lie create a financial
panic at will, but he can also cause to lie
thrown on the market the property of
the deb tor class: and since money would
be tc tree and this property would 1jc fold
at forced sale, it would iiavc to lie dis
posed of at a ruinous sacrifice. The
power thus placed in the hands of the
money holder and capitalist to oppress
and ruin his debtor at pleasure, is mani
festly very great, and fraught with un
speakable danger. There can be no dis
pute that the weighty objections of the
Virginia statesman to a paper currency
convertible on demand into specie are
well taken and deserve careful considera
tion.
Mr. Hunter suggests a plan for the
issuing by the government of a paper
currency which, while obviating all these
iifficulties, can lie kept at par with
specie, and not be dependent for value
>n its convertibility into coin at the will of
the holder. He recommends that the gov
:mment issue its Treasury notes, say to
he extent of $600,000,000, which shall be
full legal tender and receivable for all
•lues to the government, and inter con
vertible at will into lionds—based, of
course, on the credit of the country—
which shall bear a specie interest at a
rate to lie declared annually by a lioard
to consul of a member appointed by the
President, a member elected by the House
of Representatives, and the Director
of the Mint, such rate of interest to lie
only sufficient to keep the bonds at “spe
cie par,” but not profitable as a permanent
investment. Thus, he reasons, the paper
money and the bonds will act as a mu
tual equilibrium the one to the other,
and thereby the paper issue would at
mce be kept equal to the wants of trade,
md at the same time be permanently val
uable. For instance, should there be de
mand for the Treasury notes, they can
be issued and used profitably in trade so
long as trade required them. On the
other hand, should the demand be less
than the supply, they would be immedi
ately invested in the specie interest
bonds, there to remain until again de
mantled. As 3Ir. Hunter himself says
on this point:
“Suppose the United States should is
sue a Treasury note, receivable for all dues
to it, a legal tender for all debts, and con
vertible at the pleasure of the holder into
a United States bond, bearing such a rate
of inti-rest as will make it convertible
into specie at par, with a right in the
holder of the bond to reconvert it into
Treasury notes, as above described,
whenever he pleases. Does any man
doubt that such l Treasury note would
circulate at par with specie, and with a
steadiness and constancy which no other
note ever possessed ? 6ut this is not all;
the quantity in circulation would be
regulated by the laws of trade, and the
currency would be kept at par in
specie. If below that value, it would
be funded into bonds until it
was at par with specie: if above
the par of specie, more bonds would be
reconverted into notes, until they were
equivalent to specie in value. Lhe full
advantage of equivalency to specie cur
rency would thus be maintained, while
the community- would escape the extreme
evils of dependence on the holders of
specie currency for forbearance
forced sale of property at ruinous rates
to obtain the specie necessary to pay
these debts. They could go on produc
ing, too, as usual, and not be forced to
stop, because the small quantity of specie
in comparison with the demand would
reduce the price so much, or force them
to sell so much of their peculiar produc
tions for a little, as to make their work
unremunerative and production ruinous.
From how much misery would society
f>e saved by this change, and what a
loss of wealth to the nation would it
prevent! Recent events would illustrate
this to the satisfaction of the most
casual observer. \Ye have witnessed
lately a period when all contracts had to
be adjusted in specie, and there was not
specie enough to do it. The conse
quence is that debts are still unpaid, and
large property holders were reduced to
poverty because, owing to the scarcity of
specie, a large amount of property' was
sold for a small value in the precious
metals, because the creditor could en
force the payment of his debt in that
medium. The man who owed this debt
probably owned a factory which, a few
years before, would have produced
goods on terms, at the prices then ruling,
which would have speedily paid the debt
to the advantage of the laborer
who manufactured the goods, the
man who owned the factory,
and the creditor who received for his
debt the price of the goods. But not so
with the currency which I propose. The
to be converted into specie at pleasure.
Experience has proved that a specie cur
rency is most conducive to the equiva
lency of the currency of the world, so
necessary for equalizing values in the
trade of the world ; but at the same time
my plan would take away the power of
the specie holder to dictate the terms
upon which the debtor must exchange
his property for the other's money,which
enables him to control the counter, or its
wealth, which is nearly the same thing.”
We regret that Mr. Hunter s letter is
too long to be presented in full in these
columns. We have, however, given a
very fair idea of its contents, and. as we
have stated, it will command attention
because of the high financial and states
manlike reputation of its distinguished
author. It will be seen that the ex-
Senator, while favoring a paper currency
based on the credit of the nation, is en
tirely opposed to anything like fiat money
or irredeemable scrip. He is in favor
of paper money, but one to be
maintained at par with specie, and
always a representative of a spe
cie value. In other words he ‘•imply
presents a very interesting and rcasona
ble plan for carrying out the Democratic
idea, viz.: Furnishing the country with
gold, silver and paper money, each sepa
rate and distinct, yet with the dollar of
each always worth 100 cents. It is more
than likely that either this plan of Mr.
Hunter or one similar to it will receive
the careful attention of the Forty-sixth
Congress in its legislation for financial
reform.
credit of the government, together with
its convertibility, would have sustained
its value; its convertibility and reconver
tibility into a government bond would
have kept a quantity in circulation equal
to the wants of trade. Prices would have
kept up, and the productions and ex
changes ot society would be adequate to
its happiness and improvement. The
opportunities of the holders of specie to
buy up large amounts of property for
small values in the precious metals would
be lost, and the unwholesome aggregation
of wealth in a few hands comparatively
cease.”
And on the point of preserving the
equilibrium between the bonds and the
Treasury notes he says:
‘But how are we to preserve the
equivalency of the currency bond to
specie, which .is essential to the pro
per regulation of the notes ? I would
have the rate of interest of the bond
annually declared by a board, to con
sist of a member appointed by the
President, a member elected by the
House of Representatives, and the Direc
tor of the Mint. This board might err a
little in the proper rate of interest, but
not much. The currency bond might be
relied uiK>n as a safe and effective regu
lator. The demands of trade wi,uld
regulate the quantity of the currency,
aiul there could not well be too much or
too little if the law was observed. The
currency would be on a level with that
of the world, being equal to specie;
but the specie holder would be deprived
of his capacity to force the debtor to sell
large amounts of property for small
values in specie. Nor could he force
the production of the country to stand
still until he chose to extend his forbear
ance to the paper issued, with a promise
Charleston and the Southern Pacific
Railroad.
On Monday la3t Hon. Thomas M. Nor
wood paid a visit to the Charleston
Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose
of advocating before that body the con
struction of the Southern Pacific Rail
road along the thirty-second parallel of
latitude, according to the provisions
of a bill to that effect introduced at the
last session of Congress by Senator John
ston, of Virginia.
31r. Norwood met with a very llatter-
tering reception, and being introduced
by Mr. S. Y. Tupper, President of the
Chamber ot Commerce, spoke for nearly
one hour, during which time his remarks
were listened to with decided interest.
His address was very similar to the one he
delivered in this city on the same subject
before the Savannah Cotton Exchange a
short time since. He showed how in 1861
Mr. Thomas Scott's rival corporation,
the Texas and Pacific, had obtained the
right to build a lice from Marshall,
Texas, west to San Diego on the Pacific
coast, and how in 1872 this company was
required to build west fiom 3Iarshall nol
’ less than one hundred miles a year, and
after the second year (1874) to build
not less than twenty-five miles of
reiad per annum east from San Diego.
He also stated that to enable
the road to lie built Texas
had given it a land grant of forty
miles on each side the road, embracin,
22,528,000 acres, ami in add.tion thereto
.Congress bad given the company 18,000,
000 acres in the territories of Arizona
and New Mexico. Yet 3Ir. Scott had
failed entirely in his part of the contract,
having built only 183 miles of road on
the main line, and now be asks for a
subsidy of $60,000,000 to complete his
road, which, if built, would not, after
all, be a Southern line, but really noth
ing more than a feeder to the Pennsylvania
Central, of which road he i3 the Presi
dent. Thus the South would derive no
benefit therefrom, but, to the contrary
all the advantage from such a line would
inure directly to Pennsylvania and the
Northeast.
3Ir. Norwood also stated that the ob
ject of the road he advocated (the South
ern Pacific) was to give the country a
true Southern railroad passing along the
thirty-second parallel and connecting the
waters of the Atlantic and Gulf with ‘he
Pacific, and this i: was proposed to do
without one dollar of government aid.
The company had already construct
ed 720 miles of road to Fort Yuma,
where it originally expected »o meet 3Ir.
Scott’s line. Now it desired from the
government only the right of way across
the Territories of Arizona and New 3fex-
ico, and to co-operate to secure this
was all that was asked of the South. No
subsidy was wished, the company being
able and willing to itself extend its line if
only this right of way should lie granted
it, and thus a line, no feeder to the
Pennsylvania Central, but a genuine
Southern Pacific Road, traversing South
ern soil and built by’ private enterprise,
would lie constructed.
At the conclusion of 3Ir. Norwood's
remarks, 3Ir. Robert N. Gourdin offered
a series of resolutions, the preamble to
which stated in effect that a Southern
Pacific line was of great importance to
the South ; that a large majority of our
people were opposed to the grant of
subsidies by Congress as unconstitu
tional and corrupting in their in
fluences; that the Southern people
would never consent to a line
being built which, while two-thirds
of it traversed Southern soil, would be
diverted from the South in order to pour
the trade of such line exclusively into
Northern warehouses, and that therefore
the Charleston Chamber of Commerce
was entirely opposed to 31 r. Tom rjgptt'a
line, but heartily endorsed the construe
tion of a Southern Pacific Road on the
thirty-second parallel, and on the terms
and conditions set forth in 3Ir. Nor
wood's address. In consideration of
these facta the Chamber adopted the fol
lowing resolutions:
Be it Jitwlrtd, That a committee of three
be appointed by the President of this Cham
ber, at hi« leisure, to prepare a memorial to
Congress asking for the legislation which
may be necessary to enable Lhe people of
the country to build the Southern Pacific
Railroad: and that our Senators and Repre
sensitive* tie earnestly and respectfully
requested to advocate the same.
Bewieed further, That this Chamber con
gratulates itself on the reception here to
day of the Hon. Mr. Norwood; that it ten
ders him its thanks for his very lucid and
valuable exposition of the condition and
prospects of the Southern Pacific Railroad,
and a hearty God-speed to his efforts in its
behalf.
The President, subsequent to the meeting,
appointed the following committee, under
the resolutions adopted, to prepare the me
morial to Congress : Messrs. R. N. Gourdin,
C. K. Miles and P. Hall.
On motion of William M. Lawton, Esq.,
it was
Rerohrd, That Mr. Norwood be requested
to prepare a copy of his address, or at least
■ synopsis of the same, for publication.
The Labor Question In the West In
dies.
The insurrection in Banta Cruz has
been suppressed, but not without severe
loss of life and tbe destruction of over
a hundred valuable plantations. Banta
Cruz is a little Dauish island in tbe West
Indies, only sixty-four square miles in
dimensions, and with a population of less
than twenty-five thousand, its chief repu
tation being derived from tbe excellent
quality’ of tbe rum produced there, and
its chief product being raw sugar. The
cause of the revolt was the interminable
labor question, and is thus explained by
the Baltimore Sun: Some years ago Den
mark abolished slavery, but required the
freed men to go through a period of ap
prenticeship, hiring to the planters for
long terms, tbe latter to find them food
lodgings and clothing. Last year, how
ever, a new law was passed, to go into
effect^ this fall, by which the plant
era were simply to hire tbe bands
and pay them wages, the hands
being required to “find” themselves.
This of course broke the apprenticeship
system and made the negroes absolutely
free, but they did not like that sort of
freedom, and the outbreak just quelled
was for the purpose of coercing the plan
tere and government in returning to the
old apprenticeship system. Their dis
satisfaction is understood to have been
further increased by the introduction of
steam machinery in the sugar mill.-
which they objected to because it made
the planters more independent of them
and probably tended to reduce their
wages. Their conduct in burning the
plantations was about on a par with that
of the tramps in the West who have been
burning reaping machines, and the result
of the insurrection may be accepted as
an additional pro' f the fact that no
controversy about laoor can ever be set
tled by violence.
It 9eems, says the Washington Shir,
that it is yet too early to congratulate
the financial and business world that the
shock of the great Glasgow failure has
lieen met and successfully resisted. The
uneasiness and depression in Great
Britain finds voice in the London Times
which appeals to the business community
not to precipitate an impending panic by
losing self-control in the crisis. It may
be that tbe alarms on this head are fos
tered by certain speculators m stocks for
interested purposes. But it is none the
less evident that Great Britain, long
suffering under unfavorable conditions
of trade and indusi rv, is not prepared to
submit her firms and other intsituiions
to a searching test for weak places: and
such examination, as a result of the
Glasgow collapse, seems inevitable. It
is to be hoped both for Great Britain’s
sake and for our own sake that the
panic, of which there seems to be
disagreeable prospect, may be avoided.

THE ALBANY FAIR.
Necnnd Bay
The Republican investigating commit
tee find Acklin innocent; the Democratic
committee, who were to advise him to
withdraw from the Democratic Congres
sional ticket in case they found him
guilty, have advised him to withdraw.
The Washington Star says: “ This is a
queer reversal of the ordinary findings
of partisan investigating committees. If
Acklin concludes tor un for Congress in
spite of the action of liis party brethren
he should make the race as the Repubii
can nominee. His vindicators would nat
urally be the ones to support him.”
The Star is right, esjiecially as the fes
tive Acklin. if reports are true, has
proved himself at least morally qualified
to represent the Radical party. When a
man falls into disgrace and infamy now
a days, he naturally finds a refuge in the
ranks of the Radical party.
Reports occasionally come to hand of
the condition of poor ex-Empress
Carlotta, the unfortunate Maximilian's
widow. She still resides at Tervenren,
near Brussels, and none now see her
except by permission of the Queen of the
Belgians, as strange face* produce great
excitement in her mind. One of her hal
lucinations is that an attempt was made
to poison her in Mexico, and that this
design is still directed against her, and so
she refuses to take all food which the
Queen, her sister-in-law, does not taste.
Sometimes she puts on her most splendid
dresses, lights her room brilliantly, and
goes through the form of receiving fa
mous guests, by whom she thinks her
self ‘surrounded.
The Butlerites Fail to Capture
a Meeting.—The adherents of General
Butler made a decided and determined
effort in Boston on Friday evening to
capture the meeting called to ratify the
straight-out Democratic State ticket. Tbe
at empt failed through the firmness of
the leading Democrats of the straight
sort present, and the meeting in the
hands of those to whom it legitimately
belonged then proceeded in an orderly
manner. The speeches were not boast
ful of present success, but savored of an
appreciation of affairs and a determina
tion to fight an honest, hardly-contested
battle upon the lines held by the old
party.
3Iariciage ok Commodore Garrison.
Commodore Cornelius K. Garrison, a
New York millionaire, was married at
the Windsor House, in that city, Thurs
day, to 3Iiss Letitia W. Randall, of St
Louis. Commodore Garrison is seventy
years of age, whilst his bride is only
twenty-five, young and beautiful, and
was the belle of tbe season at Saratoga
this summer. A marriage portion, re
ported to be from $200,000 to $300,000,
was settled upon his intended wife by
the Commodore prior to the marriage.
The Beaufort (S. C.) Tribune of a re.
cent date says: “A letter from New
York to one of our citizens says: ‘Who
do you suppose came to bog for some
money yesterday to buy food, and this
was the second time he had come?
Poor devil! I felt sorry for him in his
abject misery and gave him enough to
carry him through the day. The fellow
was your ex-Governor 3Ioses. He pre
tends that he wants to return to South
Carolina, but has not the means to re
turn.’ ”
Senator Conk ling made a two hours'
speech at Ithaca, New York, Thursday,
in defense of hard money and the
national banking system. During his
speech he asserted the Democrats and
Greenbackera were affiliating in plat
forms and on candidates, and that the
Republican party was the party of hon
est money, opposed by Democrats and
Nationals.
Heavy Shipments ok Freight.—The
five transatlantic steamers which left
New York for Europe Saturday took out
among other freight 1:53,000 bushels of
grain, 19,775 boxes cheese, 3,220 barrels
flour, 8,983 barrels apples, 3,330 packa
ges butter, 5,190 bales cotton, 5,831 cases
canned goods, 1,569 quarters and GO tons
fresh beef, 175 carcasses sheep, 1*0 head
horned cattle and 26 horses. Three of
the steamers were destined for Liverpool,
one for Glasgow and one for Bremen.
The Right of Street Crossings.—
Judge Simmons, of St. Louis, holds that
as crosswalks are ipade for the conve
nience of persons on foot, it is the duty
of drivers, including those of horse cars,
not only to check their speed when a
person is on a cross walk, or even ap
proaching it, but to stop where there is
the least danger of a collision. The
Judge fined a driver who, expecting
people to get out of the way, drove
among them.
Another Republican’s Seat to Be
Contested.— There is a well-defined
rumor at 3Iontpelier, Vt., that the Con
gressional seat of James Tyler, from the
First district, is to be contested by A.
31. Dickey, the Democratic candidate.
Some prominent Democrats claim that
evidence is sufficient to warrant this
course, though they refuse for the pre
sent to state the nature of the same.

TESTIMONY IN THE FITZ-JOHN PORTER CASE.
New York, October 16.—In the Fitz-
John Porter case, the first witness was Wm.
B. Lord, tbe official stenographer in tbe
court martial trial of Porter on the lotb of
December, 1802. Pending the trial he went
in company with the New York Times' cor
respondent to Porter’s rooms in Washington
to inquire for some dispatches which had
been mislaid : while there he heard Porter
say, “I was not loyal to Pope: there is
denying that:” he could not recall anything
else that was said : he made up the record
three or four days afterwards.
On cross-examination, he said lhe record
was in the form of a letter to his wife. Por
ter was excited, and made the remark in the
nature of a soliloquy. Witness did not
mention tbe circumstance till after the con
clusion of the court martial. He made no
written statement about it till years after, in
a communication to Judge Advocate General
Holt. Porter’s counsel then produced printed
copies of the correspondence between Holt
and witness in May, 1871, in which
the former says that the latter came to him
in December, 1**G2, while the trial was pend
ing, and told him of the remark above
quoted, which he felt it his duty to give
him, and that he (Holt; replied that he did
not think it worth while to introduce it in
the case, as he thought he had other and
sufficient evidence to convict Porter: but be
would now like to have him put it in writing.
Witness did not remember having so told
Holt while tbe trial was in progress, and
said that he did not in his reply' think of
correcting that error: not till afterwards,
when the correspon ;ence was printed, did
be correct it. He had refrained from men
tioning it from a sense of propriety to Por
ter, and only spoke of is to Holt from a
sense of duty to that officer, who had em
ployed him.
The counsel then quoted from the speech
of Senator Chandler in 1870, wherein the
witness allnded to, though not by name, as
having heard the remark in question, and
made an affidavit to it within a few minutes.
Witness said he went to Senator Chandler
and told him that he had not made such an
affidavit, but be did not make any public
denial of it or ask the Senator or "any one
else to do so.
General Wm. F* Smith (Baldy) testified
as to his knowledge of the friendly rela
tions between Gens. Pope and Porter, and
how they visited his headquarters together
after the second Bull Run battle, ana were
on tbe most amiable terms.
SECOND READING OF THE SOCIALIST BILL.
Berlin, October 16.—Tbe Reichstag has
passed the paragraph of tbe Socialist bill
relating to tbe modified state of siege, with
the amendments offered by tbe Conserva
tives, giving the government greater discre
tion as to the propriety of proclaiming a
state of siege and expelling suspected per
sons from towns. On the final paragraph
being reached, all the amendments prolong
ing the period of the operation of the bill
were rejected, and the paragraph was passed
limiting it, as proposed by the committee, to
31arch 31st, 1»1. This completes the second
reading of the bill, after which it will come
up on a third reading.
MEETING Or COAL PRODUCERS—FALL IN GAS
STOCKS.

duction for November will be 1,800,000 tons,

Edison’s recent invention, by which it is
expected that electricity wil] take the place
of gas in every house, is sending down the
]>rice of gas stocks. New York City Gas
Company stocks, which sold lor ninety-five

seventy-eight dollars to-day.
INVESTIGATION OF THE WOLLASTON DIS
ASTER.
Boston, October 16.—In the examination
at Qnincy as to the cause of the Wollaston
disaster, the testimony served to show that
Hartwell, the conductor, who is now under
arrest, did not take proper precautions to
send a signal on the track to warn approach
ing trains, upon the supposition that the
excursion train had arrived in Boston. The
engineer of the freight train testified that
Hartwell, after the accident, said that if he
had had two seconds he could have thrown
the switch over and prevented the accident.
WESTERN RAILROAD MATTERS.
St. Louis, October 16.—A special from
Topeka, Kansas, says that the reports to the
effect that work upon the New Mexico and
Leadville extension ol the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad has closed, or is
about to do so, are wholly without founda
tion. The leaslpg of the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway Is entirely independent of
the matter.

Something Dropped.
Xashrille American.
The Nationals are carefully looking
around the heavens. They have heard
something drop, but whence and where
and what they know not. Theirs is a
sad state of bewilderment. They thought
they were, and are not. They thought
they were somewhere and they find out
from the recent elections they are no
where. We have been contemplating
that party in Ohio for some weeks. They
. aid it was an unknown quantity and we
had faith. They said although we could
not see we could feel it, when we doubted
its existence. We were not without
faith. We believed and trembled when
the high priest toid us it was there.
Where is it? What is it? Perhaps it
bloweth where it listeth, for we cannot tell
whence it came nor whither in the deuce
it has gone, nor where it has been. It is
truly the unknown quantity. If it was
ever a party it has gone through a
threshing machine, or lieen out m a
thunder storm, endured a first class
railroad accident, or steamboat explosion,
or a nitro-glycerine accident, or a com
bination. The Coroner has no body to
report upon, and there is not enough to'
swear by. If it is not a case of party
murder nobody can ever be punished for
it. One of the first things to be estab
lished in every murder trial is a corpus
delicti, and without a corvma a corpus
delicti is an impossibility. No conviction
of Jones for the murder of Brown can ever
be had without some proof that Brown was
a person in being, under the peace of
God and the State. It cannot be even
assumed that the party was knocked into
the middle of next week or kicked into
the middle of last week, or even defeated,
until the existence of the party be proved.
No aquatic- person will be justified in
fitting up a passenger boat for Salt river.
There is nobody to go. It would be
like carrying shadows—nay nonentities—
nothing, up Salt river.
It is an awful thing to feel that one
has been expecting a blow from an ene
my which does not exist, and we confess
that, after anxiously peering through the
blanket of the dark tb see what the Na
tional party would do to the Democracy
in Ohio, we feel like the fellow who
clung by his hands for two hours, pend
ent, on a ledge of rocks, praying for re
missions of his sins, in agony until his
hair grew white, and then commending
his soul to his Creator, let go and drop
ped six inches. But then you never can
tell what there is in the dark.
It must be even a more awful reflection
for a party to dream that it is and awake
and find that it is not. Well, whether it
was or was not, it is not. If it was, it
has gone and left not a trace behind—
no. not a breech-band, not a surcingle,
not a crupper, not a collar, not a pair of
hames, not a vestige of the party har
ness, not even a lock of mane or tail for
memory's sake. Since it never was, it
has not even left the place where it was
—not even a piece of vacant ground—t
vacuity where a party might be built.
We have been telling our National
friends that logic would not allow the
existence of two parties occupying the
same field to do the same work.
