City Printor—Official Paper
URfiEST CITY CIKCrLATION
AUBUSTA, i>A.
SATURDAY MORNING Jana 9. I9«
The National Finances.
McCulloch. »»y* tlie Richmond Du
yati-h, soon after the war, announced the
true policy of the Ooteniment to be to
economise its operations as rapully as
]<ossible, and to devote itself to the re
duction of the public debt and the re
duction of the paper currency of the
country, preparatory to a resumption of
specie payments at as early a day as
possible. This was the true and only
mode of maintaining the credit of the
Government and preserving the order
at and regul .rity of the financial system of
the nation. The opposite policy of ex
travagant expenditure and a perpetua
tion of the inflated paper system of the
country tended towards repudiation. Mr
McCulloch did not say this last; but it is
a lair deduction from his views in be
half of his own policy, and entirely true
in itself.
Congress had not the boldnesa to
deny Mr. McCulloch’s position ; and it
conceded the correctness of his policy
so far as to authorise a curtailment ot
the paper money afloat at the very mod
erate pace of, we believe, $4,000,000
per month. But Congress did not
11 Operate with him in the matter of
economy. They rushed iuto reckless
appropriations of money, while tbeir
legislation, affecting directly the na
tional confidence, was steadily dimin
ishing the revenue from internal taxa
tion. In the short space of eighteen
mouths the Secretary of the Treas
ury finds that not only is he de
prived of the means of reducing the
currency, but that the receipts of the
Treasury are not equal to the demands
u non it. With this plain condition of
things before the nation, so completely
relieving Mr. llcC. of all responsibility,
lie is assailed with much severity by
several northern papers, led by the New
York Herald, which indulges itself after
this fashion:
He (Mr. McCulloch) is responsible
fur aggravating the effects of undue
tot.traction by injudicious speeches and
reports. Yet he still clings to bis fa
vorite dogma, while he virtually con
fr.s-es that he has deluded the country
m and impaired its prosperity, and that he
is now in the midst at difficulties of his
own creation.
This is altogether unjust and un
founded. Mr. McCulloch’s policy could
have had no other effect than to inspire
confidence in the integrity and purpose
ol ;he Government, and that policy fails
entirely through the acts of Congress,
for which he is in no wise responsible.
But there is an object behind the cur
tain not disclosed by these attacks. The
system of speculation in stocks and gold
in New York has induced a degree of
depravity and corruption not before
known or dreamed of in this country;
and the announcement of Mr. McCulloch
of the*necessity to which he had been
driven by the decline in the revenue and
increase in the Government expenditures
already known in the commercial world,
is se zed upon to produce a sensation,
which is to have its effect in the money
mar ket. Although Mr. McCulloch’s
entire innocence is fnlly understood, yet
to assail him and magnify the nufavor
able tendency oi Government finances
will make the sensation the greater and
the effect on the market stronger.
Mr. McCulloch is right. His policy
•vws the proper one. And unless the
government so acknowledges by con
forming its action to it—by curtailing
expenditures—by increasing its reve
nues—and by purifying the currency—
it will put the country on the facilis
decensus of repudiation.
In bringing back the country to pros
perity and the government finances to a
healthy condition, the main point is to
restore peace. There can be no prosper
ity until this is done. Instead of this
we tee a class of politicians still fan
ning the embers of strife, undertaking
missions to the southern country to
alienate the races and disorganize labor-
When the nation has wisdom enough
to esteem the welfare of the country of
more importance than the success of a
party and the distribution of the offices
and emoluments of the government, we
shall have rest, and the country will rise
to its fullest energy and fullest pros
perity, and will cancel its obligations
completely and promptly.
Tlir Russian Army.
The Moscow News gives some inte
re»!i.ig statistics respecting the Russian
army. It says that at the beginning ol
the Crimean war the whole military
force of Russia consisted of 28 divisions,
comprising 112 infantry regiments, while
now it consists of 47 divisions with 183
infantry regiments, and that the number
of troops in active service, which in
1833 was 680,000, now is 800,000. At
the beginning of the present year there
w, re 20,000 officers, 705,799 soldiers
and 29,302 dcustchicks or assistants.
According to the calculations made in
the Russian War Office, this force tnay
he increased in a very short time to
1,180,000. Beside these, there are 300,
000 irregular troops, so that the total
military force now at the disposal of the
Czir tnay be reckoned at 1,500,000
men.
T.l>e Atianlu meeting.
In response to the Call to which We
referred a few days ago, a meeting was
held in Atlanta on Tuesday, for the pur
pose of organizing a Conservative Union
party. Resolutions were adopted en
dorsing the policy of the President and
opposing the reconstruction policy of
Congress.
We fail to comprehend the practical
good to bo secured by this movement.
(8p«elal CorresponriaoM of the New Orleans
Picayune.)
The Failure of Fraeer. Trenholm St
Company.
New York, May 30, 1867.
The mail advice* giving particulars
of the suspension of Messrs. Fraser,
Trenholm A Cos. are not as yet at hand,
but are looked lor on Monday next.
The failure took the connections ot
the firm here by surprise, as it was be
lieved the Liverpool house could have
gone on. and that there was no actual
need of suspension. But this, is of
course, best knnwn to the partners
abroad. Their telegrams upon the sub
ject are perhaps necessarily very meagre
and a (lord no clue to the extent of the
trouble, or the future of the firm. The
amount of Cotton held by them has been
stated as high as 50.000 bales, but a
more correct figure is 30,000. Nearly
all the prominent bunkers oi this city,
including Brown and Pickersglll, as
also several banks, hold the bills of the
house to the amount of a million and a
half to two millions,-or say £300,000 to
£350,000, though I do not here that
there is any very considerable anxiety
felt respecting them.
The assets of the firm, especially in
South Carolina, are very large, or woukl
tie in amount st any other time ; but
just now, owing to the scarcity of money
and the general depression prevailing,
thev count for below the actual worth.
The advances of the house upon
Cotton were liberal, and too much laith
was no doubt reposed in help from the
Bank of England in ease of emergency.
The firm kept a stiff account in that
institution, and it is believed to have
confidently looked for prompt assistance,
should it be required, But the banks,
with the view, as it is thought, of forcing
down American Cotton for the benefit
of British spinners, refused the accom
modation it had hitherto granted, and
the house of half a century standing
went down—temporarily, I will add, for
there is little question but what, as
stated in our former letter, the firm
will eventually pay pound for pound.
Yesterday there were buyers ot their
bills at 15s in the pound, but holders
declined. • > \\ i '
To show the high credit of the house
up to the very day almost of suspension,
the Scotia, on Tuesday last, brought
letters in reply to inquiries from here
by parties bolding the dratls of the firm,
which letters assured the parties inter
ested that everything appeared all right
in Liverpool.
These were dated on Saturday, and
on the Tuesday following England and
America were startled by news of the
suspension of the house.
Thus, before the Scotia could get here
with letters asserting that all was ‘right,’
the cable bad flashed over that the house
was gone!
So far as I can learn, the Charleston
banks have not either been “broke” or
‘‘heavy losers” (as has been reported)
by the mishap, for the very good reason
that they had not the facilities for ne
gotiating the bills, which then sought
and found a market in New York.
Outside of their Cotton paper, there is
very little paper of the house afloat in
this country, and the creditors every
where I feel sure, have but to be lenient,
and they will get both principal and in
terest in due time.
With regard to their suit or suits with
the Government, let me repeat what I
have before advised your readers, that
the firm have a release from their bonds,
duly executed by order of the Vice
Chancellor of England, and they are
therefore in no way liable for any judg
ment the United States might obtain
against them.
I mention this again, because the
Times this morning copies a paragraph
throwing doubt upon the subject. But
Mr. Seward, I will guarantee, will not
deny the fact that the Government is not
secured. Antelope.
CROP ITEMS.
A letter from Baker county says
crops are excellent. Cotton is small,
but looks well. Corn growing finely.
Many farmers are out of provisions for
man and beast, and some will lose tbeir
crops for want of it.
The Rome Courier says the prospect
of a good crop of wheat throughout the
surrounding counties of both Georgia
and Alabama, continue unabated.
The Tallaposian is informed by
farmers that the wheat crop will be the
best made in that section for several
years.
The Griffin Star says the farmers are
now ready to harvest their wheat crops,
and they are better in that, section of
the State than they have been for ten
years past.
Cbarle.ton Fire Department.
From the annual report of Chief
Nathans, published in the Charleston
papers, it appears that during the year,
the Department has been called out to
twenty-seven fires, and twenty false
alarms ; that all the steamers have now
arrived : that we have now no less than
seven steamers, six hand engines, and
an excellent truck and ladder, besides
the four hand engiues manned by black
men.
The following is the number of men
on the roll of the several companies:
Pioneer, 80; Eagle, 75; Vigilant (ac
tive), 65; Phoenix, 92; Charleston 43 ;
Alina, 81; Marion, 84; German 76;
Palmetto, 63; Hope 50; Washington 61;
Hook and Ladder, 34; Yonng America
56; Stonewall 47. Number of members
on the rolls 884; present 831.
Charleston, as she well may be, is
proud of her Fire Department.
Tlie Reform movement in F.ng
land.
In the House of Commons, at an early
hour, and after un. exciting debate, on
the 28th, the question of the borough
franchise right, as embodied in Disraeli’s
reform bill, was settled on the basis of
household suffrage.
The compound household plan it first
proposed is practically abolished. As
the matter now stands the tenant in a
borough town is to pay his tax rate per
sonally instead of through the landlord,
nnd so secure the right to vole. In the
matter of the franchise qualifications in
tlie counties it has been voted that the
settled occupants of lands, on tenements
worth the sum of £l2, shall enjoy the
right of voting when duly registered,
The Government at first proposed that
the value of the lauds should be £ls
- Liberals, in opposition wanted to
have it fixed at £lO. A compromise
took place in the House aud £l2 was
agreed on as the amount of tho value
of the lands or tenements. The result
>s a gain to the people.
