LARBEST CIRCULATION IN THE CUT AND COUNTY
WEDNESDAY. MAY 9. 1N66.
*
UNITED STATES SECURITIES.
The latest advices from Ei^imd* show an
advance of three per cent, in the price of five-
twenties from the lowest point touched dur
ing the recent financial and commercial panic
in that country. This fact, if coupled with
the recent fall in gold in the United States is
not difficult of explanation. It is more diffi
cult of elucidation when associated with the
large export of gold recently from New York
to Europe of over one million of dollars.
The tendency of an advance of our securities
in Europe is to a fall in gold and the foreign
exchange, and the fact of a large export of
specie, in the face of this decline, is only ex
plicable on the supposition that our im
ports have been so large as to counteract
that tendency.
The papers have been of late telling us of
the immense importation of dry goods at
New York since the peace; so large indeed
as to have swelled the revenue from customs
to fifty per cent, beyond the estimate of the
Secretary of the Treasury, in his last annual
report. That our importations have so
greatly exceeded in quantity and value our
exportable products occasions some surprise,
when it is recollected that the average rate
of duty is forty-seven per cent. That our
revenue commission should recommend to
Congress, under such circumstances, an ex
cise on raw cotton of five cents per pound,
thus further diminishing the value of our
exports in foreign markets, shows in how
little regard the plainest fiscal principles are
held by those who administer our finances.
While that commission deprecates the policy
that would give undue encouragement to the
import trade, leading to a balance of pay
ments against us, it recommends an impost
that will assuredly lessen the value of our
principal staple in foreign markets, already
greatly reduced in quantity by the devasta
tion of war.
We have alluded above to the unintelli
gent administration of our finances. Can
there be a more convincing proof of that
feet than a regulation that exacts the pay
ment of the duties in gold ? and is it not ob
vious that no greater proportion of those
duties should, be received in gold than
would suffice to pay that portion of the inter
est on the public debt which is payable in
that metal. The accumulation of gold in
the Treasury to the amount of fifty or sixty
millions of dollsffs, ou which interest is lost,
is so inconsistent with every sound finan
cial principle that its mere statement is suf
ficient, but its practical operation plainly
contradicts the policy of the Treasury in its
avowed purpose of resumption.
There are two modes of bringing our de
preciated paper curreucy to a level with gold,
or, in other words, reducing the relative dif-
terenca between them. 1. By contraction of
the volume of paper money, making the
supply coequal with the commercial wants
of the couutry. 2. By reducing the de
mand for gold. The first ot these modes is
impracticable to such an extent as will re
store the level for some years to come. The
, second of these modes reducing the demand
to a considerable ea^qnt is feasible. In such
THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS COK-
’RESPONDEHCE.
A short time since we admitted in oar
columns a communication from a responsible
party, exhibiting the striking resemblance
between the letter of a Savannah correspon
dent in the Philadelphia Press and an edito
rial in the Savannah Republican of a recent
date. The Republican, in reply to our cor
respondent, attempted to shelter itself from
the inference naturally resulting from the re
markable coincidence by insinuating that no
such letter as that copied by the author of
the communication in the N*ws and Hek-
ai.d, bad appeared in the columns of the
Philadelphia paper. We have received two
copies ot the Press, one of which contains
the letter quoted in the News and Hkrald,
which we re-publish below, and the other
containing another letter, more able, butsini-
ilar in character, and equally mendacious
and slanderous of the people of the f$tith.
These papers are on file in our public read
ing room, where they may be seen by any
desiring to examine them:

RAISO.
One of the moat atrocious acts of war that*
has been perpetrated during the present
century, has met with the merited reproba
tion of the press of the United States, as it
will no doubt that of Europe when the in
telligence reaches there. It can find its
parallel no. where in the annals of modem
warfare, unless it be the bombardment of
Copenhagen by Lord Nelson in 180L Why
there was not unite'd action by the English,
American and French fleets in preventing
this atrocity is yet to be explained. Commo.-
dore Rogers, the commander of the Ameri
can squadron, according to his report of the
transaction, was ready to co-operate with the
commanders of the English and French fleets.
How it was that no snch co-operation took
place requires, we repeat, explanation. The
following remarks from the New York Even
ing Post must meet with the concurrence of
all who regard with respect the laWa of civ
ilized warfare.

ats. "A'holfteFmeaiis of lessening the de
mand for gold is not to countervail the laws of
trade so as to produce a balance ofpayments
against us. If the necessity for supplies of
foreign merchandise is so great (the country
being exhausted of stocks) as to require very
large importations, let us not create an ar
tificial demand for gold in ‘ payment of a
balance, by lessening the value of our pro
ducts in foreign markets. A duty on our ex
ports or, which haa the same effect, an ex
cise on them has the obvious tendency of in
creasing the balance of payments against
us, and by this means producing an occa
sional demand for gold to discharge such
balance, which would not otherwise exist.
It is impossible under such a complicated
scheme of finance as characterizes our fiscal
system bat that one part should counteract
another. It is without parallel in its com
plexity, and the sooner it is simplified the
better it will be for the healthy action of our
finances.
Thb Confederate Cotton Loan.—Secre
tary Seward reports having received letters
from the English holders of the Confederate
cotton loan proposing plans for the redemp
tion of the Southern obligations.
Mr. Seward says:
“From the letter which was addressed by
the committee to the Secretary of the Treas
ury,we learn the intemstmg fact that the so-
called cotton bonds were to authorize the
holders to claim from the rebels who issued
them payment in cotton, and at six pence
per pound, six months after a treaty of
peace between the United States and
these rebels should be signed, and that the
bonds so held by the applicants represent a
claim on this basis of £8,000,000. We learn
also the further fact that the bondholders re
gard the Secretary of the Treasury as one of
the ablest financiers of the present day, and
as a man of business who knows the full
value of credit.” /
He concludes thus:
“I am of the opinion that neither the na
ture of these several communications, nor
the matters discussed therein, nor the form
in which they are therein treated, nor the
characters of their authors, nor that of their
agent, is such as to deserve consideration on
the part ot the government of the United
States.”
Savannah, Ga., April 3, 1866.
[Special Correspondence of the Press.]
It would be utterly impossible for any one residing
at tbe North to realize the fearful change which has
been wrought in Ibis treasonable community within
six mouths. Virulent rebels who at that time trem
bled for the safety of their necks, now stand erect and
deliaut; anathematizing our Congress and those who
sustain it, praising Andrew Johnson, and vowing eter
nal revenge ou all “nigger worshippers," the chival-
ric term u^ed here for loyalists, os'Coon as the ——
Abolition bayonets are withdrawn. The rebel Legis
lature lias recently adjourned, after passing several
unjust and obnoxious laws—one of which disfran
chises every Union man for two years: that is, the old
law required a six months' residence to exercise tho
elective franchise; and now the Andy .Johnson rebels
demand two years. This outrageous and uncoustitu-
tioual proceeding is done with a determination to de
prive every Unionist of a vote. The suicidal policy of
Andrew Johnson in pardoning and promoting the
vilest traitors in our land to positions of trust and
power in the South, is fast undermining that structure
of freedom and universal liberty for the protection and
maintenance of which rivers of the best blood have
been freely shed. Matters are truly in a deplorable
state here; and what is to become of the Union men
who have foolishly- cast their lot South, under the de
luded impressiou that tho victory was with freedom
and loyalty, God alone knows 1 They esn but look
forward and patiently wsit for that day when Justice
shall sit at the side of Loyalty and shield her from
rebel venom. At a recent election held in this city, by
order of Governor Johnson, for the purpose of choos
ing three persons to represent this county at the State
Convention which is shortly to assemble in Augusta,
the rebel spirit was well shown, Die Union candi
dates were overwhelmingly da Meted. This, however,
caused no disappointment, ae nothing else ooal£ have
been expected, so quickly and terrible haa tha result
of the policy of the President been felt hare. Tha
Union men manifested no snsrgy, and but little
exertion was made by them to secure extra votes for
their candidates. The causa was last, and nothing
could save it This was in strange oontreat with the
secession candidate, who frantically seized ill hesitat
ing voters and hustled them up to the ballot box with
soft words and silly expressions, oftentimes patting
the bewildered voter on the shoulder and giving him
a fond embrace, and in some cases, if he voted tbe
right ticket, throwing in a glass of whiskey.
Not one Unionist was permitted to deposit his vote
without being challenged in the mostscrutinous man
ner by frowning Secessionists, who crowded around
tbe ballot-boxes all day.
It must, imlced, have been humiliating for men who
have fought for tbe preservation of this Union, to be
compelled to swear and kiss tbe Bible before those
who huve been knowu for years as the sworn enemies
of the Government. The most treasonable remarks
were unblusbingly and openly uttered at tha polls,
some of which, perhaps, ore worthy of mention, os
revealing the spirit and animus of many who voted
against the Union ticket. One man, with a ballot in
his hands, declared in loud tones: “ret, by , I
have always been a rebel, arul always will be, and
Intend to vote a full rebel ticket." Another said
boldly: “I have taken the oath of allegiance, but the
Government of the United State* Jvi
contract with me. and bv -—■ 1 forfeit my oblt-
“ This shameful and atrocious act of Spain
cannot fail to cause a profound sensation
among the people of North and South Ameri
ca. The Spanish government has even less
cause of quarrel with Chili and Peru than the
Emperor of France had with Mexico; the
bombardment pf Valparaiso, like the inva
sion of Mexico, is the attempt of despotic
powers in Europe to break down liberty and
free government in America. Such attempts
will continue, and will even have a measure
of success, unless the free nations of North
and South America unite together and pre
sent a firm front to the encroachments of
European despots.
“Chili was, a year ago, a highly prosper
ous republic, whose people were busied in
building railroads and developing the re
sources of their territory. Spain, seeing the
Chilians free, happy, industrious, devoted to
the arts of peace, and filling a useful and
important place in the world, picks a quar
rel with them, insults them, wantonly des
troys their commercial capital, forces them
to abandon peace for war, and thus tries to
ruin them. And all the other American re
publics stand by and look on. ”

rebels, who were busily engaged in oirculoting the re
port that the Yankees would soon have to leave,
end that those who voted for them would not be sate
lu reiuaiuing. The rebel vote at this election outnum
bered the Union ten to one.
The traitors here do not confine themselves to
threats. Already have the lives of white Unionists
and negroes been attempted. Mr. John £. Hayes, tile
editor of the Savannah National Republican, has been
fired upftn as he walked the streets. All this is done,
be it remembered, whilst the United States troops
are quartered in the city.
The Recent Heavy Forgeries in Wall
Street.—No further developments in the
Wall street forgeries have been made. The
amount of the losses is estimated at three
hundred and sixty-five thousand seven hun
dred and eighty-three dollars; audit is feared
that the guilty party ha9 escaped with his
plunder by securing passage on board the
Pacific mail steamship Arizona, which ves
sel sailed on Tuesday. Apropos of the re
ported presentation of a supposed counter
feit check to _tbe teller of the Continental
Bank, who is reported to have at once pro
nounced' the certification mark genuine,
Messrs. Cronise & Co., who received the
check from Ross, assert that it was by them
sent to the bank and pronounced genuine,
while the cashier ot the Continental affirms
that it was not seen in that institution uutil
forwarded by tha Clearing House ou the
morning alter its acceptance by the business
firm.
The Latest Fenian Naval Exploit.—The
schooner Friend, which cleared from East-
port with the Fenians on Tuesday night, the
1st inst, which tbe gunboat Winooski was
ordered to pursue, succeeded in capturing
the British schooner Wentworth, of Windsor.
To this the arms and cargo of the Friend
were transferred, and the Fenians, scuttling
their own vessel, continued their expedition
in the Wentworth. The Winooski came up
witli this vessel but was deceived by her
name and appearance and allowed her to
pass. The Fenians made a descent on Grand
Menan Island, bat we are not advised that
they accomplished anything startling or ter
rible.

the National debt and funding the same, of the
following tenor, providing ifi the usual trm'
for a five per cent, thirty years’ loan, to be
called the “consolidated debt of the United
States,” and to be disposed of at not less than
par, and to be applied to the payment of the
existing Nation si de^, other than United

Tbe election on the 2d init. resulted in the selection
of Captain W. S. Norman for County Judge, and Mr.
R. Q. Baker for Solicitor.
Judge Norman is one of the most highly esteemed
citizen* of Liberty county, and brings with him to the

strict integrity, legal ability of a high order, and con
siderable experience os Justice of the Inferior Court.

Mr. Sherman said:
Our attention has been called to an article
in the New York World copied from the
Norfolk Virginian, in which it is stated that
• exposure on the Santee or Savannah rivers
(we presume the writer means in the sum
mer season) is certain death. So fer as the
Savannah river is concerned this statement
is entirely incorrect. The deadly malaria
which in the latter summer months’ prevails
on the water courses and in the swampy
regions of the lower portion of South Caro
lina, and exposure to which produces what
is called the “stranger’s fever," is never en
countered on the Savannah river nor even in
the low country on the Georgia seaboard. It
has been observed by the oldest residents in
this region that the “stranger’s fever” was
never known to prevail thie ride of Beau
fort, S. C.

since that Judge Wayne would accompany

"There are two provisions of the bill likely to excite
opposition, one of which grows out of the question of
taxing property in United States securities. It cannot
be denied that a strong feeling grows out of the ex-
emption from State taxation of to large an amount of
property, and various propositions have been made to
Bubject them to taxation by the United States. While
they bear interest at a rate equal to that paid in most
of the States on notes and securities subject to tax,
this feeling of inequality will oentinue to increase.
They ore now subject to income tax levied by the
United States, hut owing to the six hundred dollar ex
emption, now proposed to be increased to $1,000, and
also to the large amount hejd abroad which cannot be
reached, and the readiness with which the tax is avoid
ed, it comes to the United States less than one-tenth
of one per cent, on the aggregate debt. In considera
tion of the reduction in the nto of interest from six
and seven and three-tenths per cent, to five per cent,
this bill proposes to extend the present exemption
from State taxation to the income tax, and will in effect
secure to the United States a reduction of one-sixth of
toe present interest fund, with but the trilling loss of
the income. The saving thus mode, with a farther
sum equal to 30 mills on the dollar, it is proposed to
apply to the payment of the principal of the debt. If
uninterrupted, this will be accomplished in thirty-five
years. The effect is to pay the debt by the
saving of interest.
'The second proposition likely to excite opposition
is that which gives option to the holders of Seven-
thirty notes to demand payment in money at their
maturity. This option will compel the Secretary to-
sccumulate vast sums for a contingency that may not
happen,and place him at the mercy of oudden combi
nations whenever the note* mature, as they do in
large sums at specified time*. To avoid this the bill
revives the common custom and law of giving area-
scalable notice by the holder* of the option. The mine
principal was applied to the option of 1862. If no
option is taken, than it Is held to be a choice of money,
and the Secretary will have six months to prepare for
it. I will not discos* this bill further. It is approved
by the Secretary of tbe Treasury, and haa been parti-
ally considered by tbe Committee on Finance. It will
be objected that the holders of the present bonds will
not convert them, but fortunately nearly all our secu
rities will soon be within our reach by maturity, and
it is the confident belief that this provision reducing
the rote or interest will be so fair an adjustment be
tween the conflicting interest of the bondholder and
tax-payer, that it will be accepted by both,'and thus
represent the consolidated debt of the.United States.
All the advantage proposed by the bill will be more
properly considered when it is reported to the Senate.
In the meantime it is but right to submit it to the im
partial test of the public judgment, for it affects the
interests of every one who pays taxes, or who holds
national securities."
The bill was referred to the Committee on Finance.
A similar meaau r e was adopted by tbe Bri
tish Government in 1816, in which year an act
of Parliament waa passed uniting the dif
ferent descriptions of public debt bearing
various rates of interest into a consolidated
fund, carrying one uniform rate of 3 per
cent, per annum, hence the abbreviated
term ol consols. By this act greater
simplicity will be introduced into tbe public
accounts, besides a deduction in tbe rate of
interest.
Austrian Troops en route.—Hie State
Department is said to be in official possession
of the intelligence that troops were now on
their way to Mexico from Austria, to take the
place of those withdrawn by France. Seeing
that the “protest? of onr government was writ
ten to our Minuter at Vienna after these troops
had.ee* seal, the question ia whether we
take offence, and count thin first detachment
as coming within the eeope of that protect.
Questionable Fbiends.—There ore, says the Na
tional Intelligencer, certain publishers in Northern
cities, who, without the least either of interest or affec
tion in the South, employ their peua and presses in
the publication of every form of appeal to those par
ticular prejudices of the Southern people, which are
recognized and deplored by all of the wisest and best
of them os the very fuel of Northern fanatical fire,
and the bitterest of the many causes of unhappiness
in the South. “Onr best friends are those who teU us
of our faults and how to correct them" is a simple
maxim, ts true as faith and as old as human nature.
But what of those who, seeing others in a state of
heartburning suffering from tbe bitterness of irrita
tion, would profess to shore and descend to flatter it,
thus prolonging, if not augmenting, with no object i n
the world bnt pay, the suffering of their fellow men ?
We observe in some Southern newspapers a proof that
the motive of thie mercenary class is appreciated.

At a.regular meeting of the Robert Emmett Circle
of the Fenian. Brotherhood, three members of the
Circle were expelled without proper authority, on the
night of the 7th inst.
In order to substantiate onr argument, we would re
spectfully refer to page 11, section y of the Fourth Na

New York City, January, 18G6. Only two of the Com.
mittce of Safety were prosept. and had no report from
tho residue of mid Committee. According to said
section, a Committee of Safety, of not less thsn.thrcc,
nor more than seven member*, shall be .nominated by

Committee shall have tbe power of receiving mem-
here, together with the power of expelling them; but
in each cose their action must be submitted for ap
proval to a meeting of their Clrcld.
The above plainly shows that the member* of the
Committee of Safety, according to the above section,
were in a minority, and in CO use quance could not act.
Therefore, tfee said expulsion of the above members
they denounce as unjust, aothey were in good stand
ing, and such act unaolled for; particularly where no
legal platform was erected had they s right to do so.
We say not, in accordance with the laws ot the Fenian
Brotherhood.
It ia but just that this announcement should be
mods to our fellow oountrymen, for the purpose of
patting down sectionaUtfes, and crest* a harmony
that should bo promulgated to all Irishmen, no matter
in what clime, and unite in assisting by all mesne in
their power to tleliver their native land from the op
pression of Brutish tyranny.
A usurpation of power on the part of certain officers,
totoeosaeattuded to, we consider Injurious to the
