Recent caldo telegrams report a
wide-spread conviction in England that
the best method for putting down
Kcttianism, is to provide for the
amelioration of the condition of the
Irish people. The attitude of
tucu like Gladstone, and Goldwiu
Smith, is the best proof that liberals
in Englaud are in earnest for the relief
of Ireland. The problem is difficult.
But sympathy iu England will mitigate
tho bitterness of Irish feeling. English
liberalism is so'wise and discreet an
influence, that it can give practical
direction as well as practical aid to the
aspirations and efforts of Irish patriots.
Such alliance is bettor than armies.

The negotiations which have been
so long in progress for the settlement
of the Express competition have cul
minated, and an official card has been
published by the Presidents of the
Adams, American, United States, and
Merchants’ Union Companies, that the
opposition is to cease- They state that
“no consolidation has been made, but
an arrangement has been entered into
for territory by which duplicate lines
will be avoided (except in cases where
the occupancy of a trunk line may be
necessary to be used by two Companies
for the purpose of reaching the terri
tory used exclusively by each), and
also for a general reduction of ex
penses, and uniform tariff of rates and
mutual exchange of business.” This
arrangement will go into effect to
day. A joint committee is to supervise
the general business. Specific routes
are assigned to each Company, and
competition is thus to be prevented.
Prices for freight will be at once and
materially advanced. Humor states
that the net earnings are to go into a
common fund, and bo apportioned on
an arbitrary basis. The division is
variously reported. One statement is,
that the per centage is to be : Adams,
twenty-nine per cent.; American,
twenty-six and a half per cent.; United
States, eighteen per cent., and Mer
chants’ Union, twenty-six and a half
per cent.
The managers predict that under
this arrangement the old companies
can resume dividends at twelve per
cent., and the netv company at the
same rate on the capital paid in.
Naturalized Citizens.
The meeting held at Cleveland on
the 23d ultimo, to consider the rights
of foreign-born American citizens, was
an evidence of the profound interest
felt by the public in this matter. A
letter was received by the meeting from
the Hon. Robert J. Walker, who ad
vanced some powerful arguments in
favor of ho protection, by the Amer
ican government, of its adopted citi
zens, wherever they might go. Under
the Ashburton treaty, in 1842, England
renounced the right of search, and re
linquished also the doctrine of perpet'
ual allegiance. It is very reasonably
contended, also, that when the govern
ment asks a foreigner to foreswear alle.
giance to a foreign power, the same
government is pledged to protect the
new citizen under all circumstances,
just as it would protect a native citizen.
This is the proper view to take of this
momentous question. If our govern
ment cannot guarantee protection to
all its citizens alike, the business of
naturalization becomes a farce; where
as if .foreign powers arc once con
vinced that our adopted citizens are to
he fearlessly defended, the danger of
national complications will be very
materially lessened. The enactment
of efficient laws on this subject would
also add a stimulus to emigration and
tend to fill the country with a good and
desirable class of foreigners, able and
willing to assume the responsibilities
of citizenship.
—-Advertising cards are now carried
through the streets of l’aris by trained

Nvlblac t« Do.
A man who is out of employment, at
this season, with nothing saved to
guard against contingencies, is certain
ly in a pitiable condition. When busi
ness is prostrated, as we now see it,
and when the prospect ahead is on
certain, as is now the case, the situa
tion of a persou tints circumstanced is
doubly pitiable. Yet there are thousands
of persons, all over the land, on this
morning of the new year, who are in
just that condition. The hard times
have' ound them with no provision for
‘.he future—with nothing laid up for
the proverbial “rainy day.” In times
of general prosperity, when wages were
good and employment abundant, that
class lived closely up to their means,
increasing expenses in proportion to
the increase of resources, and being
content to enjoy the good things of this
life as they came without regard tor
the morrow. They ought, however, to
have foreseen the present situation.
Sagacious uud prudent men, like the
wise virgins in the parable, made timely
provision for the season -of darkness in
the business world. They carefully
husbanded their resources, and made
expenditures with an eye to just such a
trade reaction as we now experience.
It is too iate, of course, to help the
present situation by telling men (l»t
they ought to have saved their money
in tho time of plenty. An important
lesson may be learned in this regard,
however, and one which ought to boos
service hereafter. There always have
been and always will be alternations of
‘ good times” and “hard times.” The
latter follow the former just as naturally
as winter follows summer, and this fact
every man of ordinary perception ought
to understand. There is one means
and only one, by which the suffering
incident to hard times can be guarded
against. That is, by practising econo
my and frugality in the time of plenty.
No working man ought to live fully up
to it is income when wages are good and
employment is steady. No man ought
to spend his money recklessly or itn
providently simply because lie is earn
ing it rapidly. There are now thous
ands who have nothing ahead, and who
are in sore distress by reason of their
poverty, who look back wistfully to the
time when they expended money ex
travagantly, with no thought of a dark
future.
Tl»e Peaunt Crop.
The following estimate of the peauut
crop is given in tho Wilmington (N.
C.) Journal, of the 23.1 u!t.:
The trade in this product has been
very brisk of late, and, in fact, forms
no unimportant portion of the business
ot the city at present. Within a week
past, wc have noticed on several morn
ings that the greater number of carts
in market were loaded with peanuts.
The crop this year 13 not so large as
was at first anticipated, but has ex
ceeded last year by several thousand
bushels. Last year the crop was esti
mated at thirty five thousand bushels,
and even this is considered a low
estimate. This year it is calculated
that the crop will reach between forty
thousand bushels, at
least.
iUucon anil Augusta itailroad.
Messrs. Editors: it is rumored
that there are passenger trains running
daily on this Road, carrying passengers
through in a few hours to and from
Augu:-ta, much more expeditiously and
at ball the price as i3 charged by
the Central Railroad. I have seen
several gentlemen who say they
travelled over it, and that it is a good
road, etc., and that freight is being
transported over it by the knowing ones.
Why don't the road advertise, and let
every body know its schedule 7
QuEttr.
In answer to tho above wc have
learned llm following facts from the
officers of the Road :
This road is now open to tills place,
running passenger and freight trains
daily. Passengers by this road make
close connections with ail roads cast
and west. It is the nearest and cheap
est route from Macon to Athens and
from Macon to Augusta. From Mil
ledgeville to Atlanta, the whole trip is
made in daylight, and we may add, by
way of parenthesis, that in a few days
the rate of fare from this city to At
lanta will be made as low, if not lower,
than any other route. The freight on
cotton from this city to Augusta is
fifty cents per hundred pounds and
ample facilities for its prompt trans
portation are always on hand.
Passenger train leaves Milledgevillc
daily (Sundays excepted) at 5.30 a. 411.,
and arrives at 4.10 p. m., making close
connection with trains on the Central
Railroad for Macon, Savannah, and all
points west of this city. —Milledgevillc

New York Colton Review.
From the Circular of Win. Bryce & Cos.)
New York, Dee. 27, 1867.
Our last Circular reviewed tho market to
the 20th instant, when .Middlings were
quoted at 15}c., with a downward ten
dency. On Saturday Liverpool was quoted
1-16 of a penny lower. Gold was down to
133 J. and the receipts at tho ports were
known to foot up 106,000 for the week end
ing December 20. Under theso depressing
inllucnces, quotations wore reduced a quar
ter of a cent without provoking much ac
tivity at the concession. On Monday Liv
erpool declined }d , and Gold sold down to
133. Tho market here was very dull and
prices irrcgulnr, 15} to 15J being the quota
tions, with sales below the inside figure.
On Tuesday there was no particular change
to note, (told was a4ittlo firmer, and Liv
erpool dull at 7|d. Being tho day before
Christmas, there was hut little doing here,
and sales mado were at ratlicr irregular
prices, 15} being the general quotations at
the close. Christmas day was a close holi
day, in both Liverpool and this city. On
Thursday the market opened drooping, and
there was some pressure to sell, but Liver
pool freights declined }d., and prices be
came steady at 15}, with a fair business
done. To-day there has boon a decidedly
better tone in the rnurkot, and prices arc
very firm at previous quotations, with but
few sellers at the close of our figures.
Cablo advices since our las: have been
regularly received; a. lair business has
boon clone in Liverpool on businoss duys,
although prices have declined to 7} pence.
Sales of tho week 41,000 bales, of which
the trado took 30,200, and exporters 10,000
bales. Stock in port 473,000 bates, of
which 97,000 are American.
Our own market, during the week under
review, as will bo noted lrotn tho summary
above given, has somewhat declined from
tho prices current at the close of last week,
but closes very firm at tho concession. The
Christmas holidays have interfered with
business to some extent, but tho heavy
receipts and exports with the decline in
Liverpool have been the real causes of the
lower prices. Exporters have been our
chiet buyers, although spinners are pur
chasing rather more freely than of late, and
as soon as tho New Year opens a consider
able domestic demand may bo looked for.
Tho business has beeu almost entirely con
fined to cotton on tho spot. Wc have to
note an increasing scarcity of Middling
cotton, although the demand fur this grade
is not particularly brisk. Low Middlings
havo been the most saleable grado, Ortii
naries and Good Ordinaries not moving as
rapidly as last week. For fine cottons
there continues a good demand from both
foreign and domestic buyers. There are
many orders from Liverpool and the Conti
nent which can bo executed on a basis of
15e. for Middling, but ouly exceptional
sales havo been made at that figure. Last
week’s receipts footed up 106,001) bales at
all tho ports—a to al which has not been
reached any one week since tho war. v
partial explanation of this free movement
of the crop is to bo found in tho fact that
the planters arc obliged to settle with
their froedmen before January 1. Yet on
the other hand, when we consider tho low
stage of the water in many of the Western
and Southwestern rivers, the conclusion is
irresistible that there is a very largo crop
to be marketed. This opinion seems enter
tained by the majority of the trado in this
city, yet there has been a large amount of
cotton withdrawn to-day, holders looking
for higher prices next week.
Novv York Financial Market.
From the Commercial Chronicle.]
Fain ay, Dec. 27, 1867, I’. M.
THE MONEY MARKET.—The week
opened with an improved condition of the
banks. The disbursements of tho Treasury
in tho payment of interest on Seven-Thirties
and of interest and principal on Compound
Notes, during last week, produced an in
crease of $3,300,000 in legal tender notes in
the banks, and a gain of $2,000,000 in cur
rency deposits ; while tho loans declined,
during the week, $2,100,000. This change
in the condition of the banks has produced
an easier feeling in the money market, and
the rate of interest has ranged steadily at 6
per cent, on call loans, with exceptions at
5 per cent, ca Government collaterals.
It is, however, a matter of question
whether this easier condition of the market
may not bo subject to temporary interrup
tion. Tho amount of currency, in the
Pub-Treasury has boon drawn down to a
low ebb; and, in ordor to replenish its
vaults, the U. S. Treasurer has called in
deposits from the National Depositories.
Tbo Depositories are likely to make the r
payments chiefly through drafts upon their
agents in this city; so that tho curroney
will come chiefly from tho New York banks.
In this way a considerable proportion of
tho amount withdrawn from the Treasury,
through payments in connection with
Seven Thirties and Compound Notes since
the 15th inst., is likely to be drawn back
again into the Sub-Treasury.
Concurrently with this probable drain,
the banks bavo to prepn.ro for their quar
terly statement, to be rendered on tho 6th
of January, which is always attended with
more or less inconvenience. At the same
time, there is an extreme scarcity of cur
rency at tho Southern ports, producing an
important interruption of exchango trans
actions; and negotiations urc in process
for seuding money to that section. Undor
thoso circumstances it is not improbable
that, within tho next fourtcon days, wo may
witness a partial departure from the pres
ent ease.
Discounts are easier, Tho hanks report
a modorate application from merchants,
and take all good paper offered at 7 per
cent. On the street there is a freer move
ment in popor, and prime names are readily
negotiated at 7aß pur cent.
