if hr Jlailo Jlrrss. 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. Special Notices.
