THE CIMIMERCIAI. CREDIT DP SA
VANNAH.
The Charleston Courier mentions as an
indication of the growiug prosperity of the
city of Charleston, and as au evidence of the
“untarnished good faith of her sons," the
fact that on Monday lust, obligations, in the
nature of collection drafts, which had been
negotiated principally for the purchase of
fertilizers aud plantation supplies, to the
amount of u quarter of a million of dollars,
falling due iu the banks of that city, were
promptly met aud not one discount asked.
This is certainly honorable to Charleston,
and we take great pleasure in recording a
fact so creditable to the business men of our
sister city. But in doing so we will be par
doned for the statement of a fact equally
creditable to the merchants of Savannah.
We were aware that an uuusual amount of
obligations, mostly due to Northern credi
tors—advances made by our factors to plant-
matured on Monday last, “Judgment
Day,” as it was called and, owing
to the backwardness of the cotton re
ceipts, we lelt no little apprehension for onr
commercial friends. The day came and
passed, and though there were some
anxious faces on the Bay, we were gratified
to learn that every liability, amounting
in the aggregate, to a little under one million
dollars, was promptly met, and not a single
house was subjected to protest. In tbe lan
guage of our Charleston cotemporary, we
may say “well done,” toThe factors and mer
chants of Savannah, whom we trust will meet
with an abundant reward at tbe bands of tbe
planters, for whose relief and assistance tbe
larger portion of these moneyed responsibili
ties was assumed, and has been thus faith
fully and promptly discharged.
THE COTTON TAX.
Reflecting men at I he North arc beginning
in discover not only the i justice but the
impolicy ot the tat on cotton, which, .while
it is buithensome to one of the most im
portant agricultural interests of this coun
try, is an iudirect bounty to the foreigu cot
ton grower. The present low pi ice of cot
ton in England is altiibuluble mainly to the
fact tbatMthe market is largely supplied with
inferior coUodb from India and other coun
tries iu which its growth has been stimulated
by English policy, aided by the late war,
and equally assisted by the internal revenue
tax. Tbe impolicy ot thus burttteniug the
great staple so important in the balance qf
exchanges with Europe, is strikingly dem
onstrated by a writer in the New York Jour
nal of Commerce. He says :
The piesent lax on cotton is about one
penuy i-teriing per pound. 'If Eoglaud
should impose a tax of ode penny on every
pound of cotton imported iiito the United
Kingdom, not grown-on British soil, many
people would say that Great Britaiu was pro
tecting her inferior staple Irom American
competition. But if Uncle Bam kindly
saves Great Britain tbe imposition of this
lax by annually offering twenty millions more
or less of American money to stimulate the
growth of British cotton, does tint the con
clusion seem lorced upon us that there is
much truth in the old saw, “the fool aud his
money are toon parted V ” ,
It “protection to home industry ’ be the
policy of the nation,"ought not Lhe agricul
tural industry of the South he protected
against the pauper labor of the rice-eating
millions of India ? If not protected, ought
not this branch of industry at least enjoy the
privilege of free trade?
VVe do rely, and have for a long time
chiefly relied, .qn cotton to keep up our end
of the balance of trade. Is it well to kill,
for iis feathers, the goose which Irfts the
golden egg ?
Ifour revenue demand the existing tax on
cotlou, ought not the cereal mops of this
country to be taxed in the same proportion,
say thirty-three percent, of their ante-bellum
value? Arb there objections to a wiieat tax
which do not apply to a cotton tax, as far as
revenue is concerned ?
No one objects to the South paying her
portiou of the revenue, but what portion of
the revenue law exempts the South from the
taxes the North has to pay? it the South
be poor, shall we adopt the scriptural policy,
aud take limn him that hath not even the
little he hath ?
Gan no stronger inducement than special
taxation be held out to immigrants, iu order
that the South may be repopulated ?
II the Ireedmen be lire “nation’s wards,” is
it the part of an honest guardian to take I k hiln
twenty per cent, of the product of the iudus- ■ **
try of its wards, in uddilioti to other taxes?

Tae statement is undoubtedly true, but,
as the recent elections show, the people are
everywhere beginning to feel the effects of
so much corruption, and are protesting
aguifist it. Diminished business activity,
scarcity of employment and heavy taxation
have caused the Northern people to enquire
into tbe political situation to an extent never
before known. In whatever direction they
look they see evidences ot systematic plun
der and fraud, and aa they cannot expect to
see belter days until the rascals are turned
oot v of office, they have very properly
goue to work to set thisui airitt. It
there were more economy in public affairs
there woald l)e less talked about repudiation
of the public debt. The millions which now
go iuto the pockets of the dishonest officials
would soon remove the debt without a sin
gle additional cent of taxation. The grow
iug voice of tbe Northern people is that the
money shall flr future be so applied. They
have bad enough of the R idical thieves now
in office, and propose to place tbe Govern
ment once more in the hands of honest
men.
Theu, again, the reconstruction of the
Southern Stales after the Radical fashion,
by wuiCA the negro is elevated above the
white man, has opened the eyes ot the North
ern people to the tact that things cauuot go
on iu tho way they are without producing
the most serious couscquences, and they are
determined 10 put a stop to it. It is mad
ness to suppose that the Anglo Saxon can
be kept iu subjection to M inferior race.
There is no human power .hat can keep
white men under the dominion of White and
black, negroes. God never inleQiled that
while men should bo “hewers of wood or
drawers of water” for the sable sous of Ham
it oue race must rule, says the Northern
Democrats, let it lie the white race ; lor
come weal or come woe, come war, car
nage, or death, the white mau is bouud to
be uppermost iu the struggle of life. Physi
cally, morally, socially aud politic illy, the

natics and unblushing villains will strive to

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
We are pleased to learn that it is in con
templation by our city government to enter
tain and act upon the commendable propo
sition to retrench, as far as practicable, its
current expenses. Such a movement on the
part of our city fathers will be hailed
with much joy by tbe people of the city, who
are becoming restive under the present crush
ing weight of taxation. Tbe general impres
sion is, that it is not only necessary, but that
it is practicable to reduce very considerably
the expenditures of the city, and thus relieve
our impoverished people to au extent that
will be gratefully appreciated by them. It
strikes us that the proposed retrenchment
movement should be made at once, especi
ally iu view of the present scarcity of money
and the continued high prices of all articles
of subsistency, evils that will beset us we
know not bow long. It has been suggested
that a reformation of this character can be
effected in several ways. It may be
that two offices can be united in one,
and the salaries of some of the em
ployees reduced; that whenever in any
department of the municipal service
it is fouud that' one officer can discharge
the duties of another as well as bis own,
the supiemacy should be dispensed with or
tbe office abolished. It may be a delicate
or painful duty to discharge one who has
been a faithful servant, but those who have
the management of oar finances should do
what any insolvent "firm would do in dread, of
bankruptcy,di-charge every employee whose
services are uot actually indispeusible. This
will be the best evidence to the taxpayers
and creditors of bar city that its rulers
are equal to the emergency, and are
determined, as we feel assured they are, to
make every sacrifice, even of themselves, so
as to lighten, the burthens which press so
heavily'upon all.
We see that this important subject is being
acted upon by the city governments of
Charleston, New Orleans and Mobile, and
are pleased to be assured that onr own will
soon follow the good example.
New York: Pott & Arnory Publishers.
We acknowledge the receipt, from the
publishers, of the above valuable book, the
appearance of which has been-expected by
tbe public with much impatience. It is an
elegantly printed volume of five hundred
and ninety-four pages, embracing a carefully
prepared memoir of the lamented dead, and
tbe sermons written by him during the
ripest years of his life, including tbe
last discourse delivered in Savannah,
on Sunday night, December the 9ih,
as also the one preached by him on the last
Sunday of his life, December lGth, iu Au-
gasta.
As stated by the anthor in bis preface, the
larger part oflbi* truly valuable collection of
eloquent and instructive sermons were chosen
by tbe various members of his family, or by
other relatives and friends, or by his clergy,
and members of the parishes iu Savannah, as
the discourses which had impressed them
selves the most deeply in their hearts at
the time of their delivery. We feel assured
that those who read the work, will de
cide that Mr. Hanckel’s selections are al
together such as will do honor to tbe memory
of the beloved Bishop and reader the most en
during service to the church. We commend
the work most cordially to the public with th
remark that it should be purchased and read
by every household in Georgia.

COLUMBUS |GA.) ENQUIRER.
We had the pleasure of a call last evening
from Mr. Raglan, one of the proprietors of
this popular and ably conducted paper. We
are pleased to state that he will remain in
the cily for a few days, for the purpose of
affording our merchants an opportunity of
presenting their business to the citizens of
perhaps the richest and mo3t productive
portion of Georgia, as well as of Alabama,
among whom his p iper bus a large circula
tion. The importance of securing the Vast
products of the section -referred to is too ap
parent to need any words of. illustration.
We hope Mr. R. Will be kindly received in
Savannah, and that he, in conjunction with
bis cotemporaries of the Bun, may succeed
in establishing such relations of interconrse
with our merchants as may be advantageous
to Savannah, while their means of usefulness
are extended. Extensive advertising is the
life of trade, and every enterprising firm cud
well appreciate its advantage in attracting
custom.
An important case has been decided in
Georgia in tbe United States District Court.
4. man nnmed Youell, in 1864, bought of a
Mr. Dean a plantation for $34,000 in Con
federate money. Dean remainedJn posses
sion, and, after the war, entered into a rent
contract with Harvey, the administrator of
Youell. Afterwards Dean filed a bill in the
Georgia Supreme Court to set aside tbe rale,
and enjoin Harvey from ejecting him, upon
the ground that the consideration, Con
federate money, made the eale void. The
injunction was granted, bat afterwards dis
solved. Dean moved away, leaving bis
tenant.in possession, dismissed his case in
tbs Superior Court, and commenced bis suit
by bill in U>« United States Court, praying
for an injunction and relief, as before. The
case being argued, Judge Erskine dismissed
tbe bill, thus sustaining ttanlegiiiity of tbe

cannot be picked til less lhao a dollar a hun

would make tbe farmers independent of ne

themselves.

A POLITICAL SYLLOGISM.
BY OUR CHIEF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LOGIC.
Same lime ago the newspapers contained
what purported to be aa address to mai-
kiud iu general, but to tbe American people
in particular, tbe burden of which was to
announce that Ban. Wade, Senator Nye and
others, bad deliberately concluded that fe
male suffrage is a right which should be
guaranteed to tbe people.
This conclusion they claim to be tbe logi
cal result ot tbe following syllogism (so-
called): „
Governments derive their just powers
lrom the consent of the governed;
Women are governed;
Therefore they are rightfully entitled to
vote.
By reasoning equally conclusive, we might
say ; that
Because woman is an animal,
Therefore she ought to be made to puli a
cart.
Or that
Horses are governed,
Therefore they have a right to vote.
These are all fallacies, as any oue may
readily perceive. But this is not a fallacy :
All villaius deserve death by hanging—
Ben Wade is a&C., &c.
Therefore &c., &c. Louis.
