ipai'uumimbci'^.m'ttc RICHARD W. fIEPBB, Editor & Propri ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 ro. DARIEN, GEORGIA, S.UTKDAY MOKMMG DEC, tfttli, !Ml. FINANCIAL. Ttjere is no question that a great incubus rests upon the industry of the whole country. The prosperity of the people staggers under a weight too heavy to be borne. The indus trious laboring classes throughout the length and breadth of the hujd, ‘find even the necessarh s of life diffi cult to be obtained. Trade is dull and business is quiet, or to a great degree stagnant. What is the cause of this wide-spread pressure and stagnation? Mmv causes may be assigned as tending to produce this geucral misfortune, such as the react ing effect of unwise speculation, pre valent extravagance, and the haste to acquire riches without the exercise of: industry and prudence. No doubt all these causes have contributed to I the general disaster. But there is l one great fact which is overlooked by the official philosophers in account ing for the depressed condition of trade and ’ business, a fact that they do not consider or conceal, and that ‘•fact is, that there is not only a rela tive, but an absolute scarcity of the circulating medium. Tt is true that the financial policy of the government which gives to the bondholders and principal monopo lists the control of the money power, has intensified the evil, but still, even 'with a wise policy, yet there would lie an absolute deficiency of money for the wants of the people and the de mands of trade. The distribution of money now is about two dollars and a half per capita in the South, five dollars and a half in the West and about thirty-two in the most favored State, Massachusetts. The circula tion of greenbacks is about throe hundred and sixty millions of dollars and of the national banks about three hundred and fifty-five millions, mak ing a total of seven hundred and fif ‘teeu millions, for a population of for ty millions; or, seventeen dollars per capita, nncl this, too, for the use of * • •——*-* 111 £III CVCI known. Before the war, coin was two hundred millions, bank bills six hundred millions, making a total of eight hundred millions for a popula tion of thirty-four millions; about twenty-four dollais per capita, and for the transaction of a business less diversified and extended than it is now. There is cause for the great scarcity of money and reason that the volume of the circulation should Tie increased. Tt is not inflation to increase the circulation to a named standard, to such a rate as it was be fore the war. The country needs one thousand million dollars. Let our law-makers look to the evils of want of money and provide the legitimate remedy. Give us more greenbacks. The Savannah News says: Why, oh ! why did not (hat Mr. Grant find a place in his message for a few lines saying, in effect, that he has been honored very much above his merits, and that he should, therefore, no lon ger entertain the idea of a third term ? Why ? Because (hat don’t express his “inner consciousness” and pur pose. Was Frank Blair a true prophet, after all ? ■ • Fishy. —lt is reported on the best authority that the President, at the suggestion of Secretary Fish, amend ed his message on Monday morning, omitting some of the strongest ex pressions it contained on the Cuban question. The Supreme Court of Maine lias decided that women cannot hold the office of Justice of the Peace, or any other office mentioned in the consti tution, but that the Legislature may authorize women to hold any office created by that body. Hon. Francis Kernan will be the next United States Senator from the State of New York. That will be a good selection. Hon. A. H. Stephens says there is plenty of time when tho next Con gress meets to talk about who shall be Speaker of the House of Represen tatives. He wants the Democracts to be careful and not do anything rash. Sensible. AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA Warren A. F ii. r, Esq., has been chosen by the citizens of Brunswick, Mayor for the ensuing year. That is certainly a splendid selection. Mr. Fuller was for a long time a most w rthy member of the City Council, and was often solicited by his numer ous friends to run for Mayor but al ways declined. Woods, of the Huwkinsville Dis patch, says that one hundred stalks of Wilcox county sugar cane Golds for ty-eight and a half gallons of juice, of which boiled down makes over seven gallons of fine syrup. Why Woods. Isn’t that a very sweet story ? The Alapaha Forester says Bob Toombs was drunk when he fell down and broke his nose in Atlanta the other day, or lie never would have gone into a hotel belonging to H. I. Kimball. Major John W. Green lias been ap pointed Superintendent of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad. The Major is a splendid railroad man and will make an efficient officer. Valdosta had a small fire the other day. Darien sympathise with every city that has a fire. A girl fourteen years of age stole a man’s pocketbook in Atlanta the Eith er day. That fellow must have been asleep. Simon W. Hitch, Esq., Solicitor General of the Brunswick Circuit, was married on the 3d inst., 1o Miss Fannie Myers, of Macon. Simon, we wish you the usual good luck, old fel low. A young man in Southwest Geor gia advertised for a wife "last week, Since the advertisement appeared he has received sixty-odd letters from charming young ladies. And now say advertising dout pay, will you ? Valdosta cries aloud for more cis terns. The recent fire there causes this want. Huff and the entire municipal dem ocratic ticket of Macon, was elected last week. The Maconites believe in a third term for Huff". Our Georgia exchanges are busily engaged discussing the usury law business. Wo thank the Brunswick Appeal for the following.. • inn n) Iho Into lire it says: We deeply sympathise with Darien in her misfortune and hope she will rise Pi oenix like from her ashes in a short time. The Savannah Sun, that neat little daily recently established by William Rankin, Esq., has just been enlarged and otherwise improved. Wo wish this new enterprise abundant success and hope it may never cease to shine. A little boy aged ten years, was murdered in Monroe county, the oth er day by a colored boy aged fifteen. They are getting at it quite early now n-duys. Mr. Alfred Swann, of Savannah, and Miss Janie Austell, of Atlanta, were married at tho latter city on the 10th inst. The bridal dress cost sl,- 500. Gm houses are still being burnt throughout the State. The Atlanta Constitution's Washiug ton correspondent says Genera! Gor don, whose speech just after the late elections has given him a national fame, an 1 won the commendation of men of both parties, is daily expected here. He is beyond question, and without disparagement to others, the rising man of the South. Few men have risen so rapidly in public esti mation, and fewer still have added to tho reputation of a gallant soldier, that of an able and practical states man. Georgia is to be congratulated on having such a man in the United States Senate. Fragment of an Elbert county con troversv now in progress: Yon are a nice fellow to talk about shooting me! If you was to offer at such a thing, 1 would beat you up in such fine pieces that a green fly could not find a place to reposit an egg on. Dear friend, tell me who it was that stole a widow Lady’s goose and killed and cooked it, and then asked the lady herself to come over and eat a baked wild tur key ? I have told of only a little of your meanness, and if you write to insult me again I will tell something on you that will run you out of the county certain, you rogish, trifling, low, down, shabby, on principle 1 pup py. No, sir, do you shut up right square and quit. THE FREEOMEN’S SAVINGS BANK. A Washington dispatch says: Win Hon. Washington Whitthorne, ot Tennessee, w.l! introduce at the ear liest practical opportunity a bill di recting the Commissioners in charge of the assets of the Freedmen’s Pav ings and Trust Com pa <y to institute suit against the trustees of said com pany, with a view of holding them personally liable for the deposits. The bill refers to-the act of the 2d of March, 18G3, incorporating the com pany, and the several powers and duties conferred upon the trustees; the efforts made by them successfully to obtain larger powers; how millions of dollars were collected from the freedmen; and the authority for new modes of investment, procured from Congress without consulting the de positors; and the suffering occasioned among the latter by reason of the failure to make dividends. The bill then goes on to enact that the com missioners directed to wind up the affairs of the bank shall make divi dends as often as they collect five per cent., and employ counsel to bring suit on behalf of the depositors against any of the trustees or officers of the bank who may be found to have violated their trusts, with a view to holding them personally liable to the depositors for the full amount of their deposits. Among the trustees named are Peter Cooper, W. C. Bry ant, A. A. Low, and a number of the prominent Radicals of the country. The bill will make a fluttering, but the negroes must not imagine that these distinguished Republicans will agree to let it pass Congress. COUNTY ELECTION NOTICE.
