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: SAVANNAH. Tiie Effects of Andrew Jotiniea’s Policy in the City and throughout Georgia. OR VALPA- <he bombardment 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. SCENES AT AN ELECTION—OVENWHELM1NB DEFEAT OF THE NNINN TICKET. What the Reconstructed Threaten t* when the National Forces are Withdrawn. do I an artificial demand ° *■ - » —. . ti/ wi/uil*’ »Te3Utiling specie pay- 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. ” aiMffUjlSlV awe-mum" fa* yniM right yflTft CVATi 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. By Telegraph.

Waobnotor, May 8.—The House was engaged to day In ditcuoaing the proposed constitutional amend ment of the Reconstruction Committee, that being the special order of the day. The House refused to postpone the discussion in order to consider tho tax bill, by a vote of fifty-one to eighty-two. Thud Ste vens led off in support of the committee’s report. He said that only nineteen loyal States were needed to ratify the amendment, and repudiated the idea that the Totes of the States lately in rebellion should be counted in its adoption.

Election ol' County Judge and Solicitor In Liberty County. Libebty County, Ob., May 5, 1866. Editors Sai'antuih News it Herald: Tbe election on the 2d init. resulted in the selection of Captain W. S.

Judge Norman is one of the most highly esteemed citizen* of Liberty county, and brings with him to the discharge of hi* new duties on unblemished record, strict integrity, legal ability of a high order, and con siderable experience os Justice of the Inferior Court. Mr. Baker Is a talented young man of the same county, destined to reach on exalted position in his profession. Yours, Ac., * 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.

He is charged with accreting bonds of ihe Atchison end Pike’s Peek Railroad, to the eseoant of $3,000, end in default of bail he Was lodged In jaiL "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.

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 tional Congress of the Fenian Brotherhood, held in 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 the Centre at a regular meeting of tbe Circle. This 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.
