MACON. NOVEMBER 4 187S.
General Gordon at tlie Parade.
Every Georgian must have felt proud
yesterday of the battle-scarred hero of a
hundred fights, our own Gordon, as he
viewed with a soldier's eye the splendid
.evolutions of the several magnificent com
panies who were exorcised on the Park
parade ground. Though in citizen’s garb,
and now representing his State in one of
the most exalted civil offices in her gift,
every inch still a soldier, his martial bear
ing made the fact patent to the least ob
servant. The parade, insignificant as it
was in point of numbers as a miliiary
display, was yet a perfect miniature type
of the grand field days of the gallant army
corps who had so frequently been review
ed by their glorious chief. That serried
host had often drilled and manoeuevred in
almost all of its divisions by the young
officer who rose like a brilliant meteor al
most from the ranks, to be the peer of
the greatest captains of the Confederacy.
How those days of siege and battle, of
marches and bivouacs, of carnage and
death, mast have risen to view, with their
phantom images of dead and living com
panions in arms.
Some of the dramatis personae in those
% stirring scenes were present and must
have viewed the evolutions of the
young soldiery with a pride and sat
isfaction peculiarly the prerogative of
veterans. As there are still other
companies to display their skill to
day in the friendly contest for the palm
of military excellency, it might seem in
vidious to particularize at this time in
regard to those which have already dis
played their address in the manly art, but
would warn the remaining contestants to
look well to their laurels and do their
best devoirs if they would pluck the cov
eted prize from thos^ whose admirable
skill has already been displayed. What
ever is to be the award, it will doubtless
give satisfaction when made by such ex-
, perienced and impartial judges as the
gallant Anderson, of Savannah, the ac
complished and experienced Robinson,
formerly o' the State Military Institute
and the chieftain Gordon. Georgia may
weK be proud of her citizen soldiery.
Parallel between Morton and
Thurman.
From the Brooklyn Algos.]
Senator Thurman is unsurpassed in the
art of electioneering. He is the most
consummate political tactician of this
time. Allen’s election is more due to
T. airman’s efforts than to his own popu
larity. Senator Morton is the only man
in the Republican party who can be
matched with the famous Buckeye. But
Morton is unscrupulous. He descends to
strategems that Thurman’s superior
cleverness enables him to do without.
Morton is the more venturesome; Thur
man is the more adroit. ■ Morton has lit
tle conscience; Thurman has a good
deal. Morton is sometimes clumsy; Thur
man is always comme it faut. Morton
would crucify his grandmother to carry
his point; Thurman might take your
scalp, but you wouldn't know it.
Such a comparison is an insult to Sen
ator Thurman. Compared with Morton
he is as Hyperion to a Satyr. Thurman
is a patriot, one of nature’s noblemen, a
gentleman from marrow to cuticle, with
a big brain and a big, generous heart.
Morton is the Satan of American politics
—a narrow-minded partisan, cold, re
morseless, unscrupulous, and with a
wealth and vitality of mean malignity
towards the defenceless—those whom it
is safe to oppress and insnlt, without a
parallel in the history of this country.
We enter our decided protest against in
sulting Senator Thurman by such a com
parison. Let Morton stand alone on the
pedestal of infamy he has so well earned
by his course towards the South since the
war.
Tlio Beginning of Jay Cooke
& Co. *8 Troubles.
The Cincinnati Commercial's Wash
ington correspondent telegraphs that the
fact seems to have been overlooked that
as fast Os the net. proceeds of sales of
cotton seized by Treasury agents were
received at the Department, they were
transferred to the vaults of Jay Cooke &
Co., and there remained until twenty
millions had accumulated in the posses
sion of that firm. When the joint reso
lution of March 30, 1868. introduced by
Senator Edmunds, was passed, and the
Cookes were compelled to disgorge, it
was well known that their establiahment
was shaken to itd very foundation. The
entire proceeds of these sales were $34,-
052,809 54, from which are to be de
ducted for expenses in handling the cot
ton $9,310,786 99, leaving $24,742,022 55
net proceeds now in the Treasury to be
paid to claimants under the fifth section
of the Appropriation act of May 18,1872.
When this twenty millions were returned
to the Treasury, Jay Cooke & Co. began
to decline, their embarrassments in
creasing until they culminated ixi the
recent grand crash.
A Silvery Joke. ' >
The situation in Whll street on Wed
nesday was marked by a most quiet feel
ing. When the Government first agitat
ed the policy of paying out -silver, the
premium was almost nominal on small
pieces, while trade dollars were worth 8J
@9 per cent premium, but now small sil
ver is worth 3 per cent and trade dollars
12 per oent premium. The Express Bays,
how long at this rate will it take the
Government to bring silver and paper on
a par with each other? [The whole
secret is that people know silver is better
than paper and act on that principle;
whenever they can get the former.]
The total disbursement of gold on ac
count of November interest is $1,799,000.
The silver disbursements by the Treasury
are only six hundred dollars.
Death of Mr. B. G. Lockett.
The painful intelligence was received
here yesterday of the death of Mr. B. G.
Lockett, which occurred yesterday’after
noon at Albany. Mr. Lockett was one of
the largest and best known planters of
Georgia, and his death will be univer
sally lamented.
Boston papers say that the Hnb is not
now a good place for men seeking em
ployment. The number of unemployed
men may not be so large in proportion to
the population 1 as in other placeB, but
there are more mechanics and laboring
men than can find work, and those who
come in the expectation of obtaining it
aro pretty sure to be disappointed. Many
who have come to Boston from New Eng
land cities and towns within the past two
weeks, after spending their money, are
still out of work, and are fed and lodged
at tno expense of the local charities.
Macon Ladles at the Fair,
We publish with unqualified pleasure
the following communication, which does
but simple justice to the skill and indus
try of one of Macon’s fairest and most
popular daughters. The writer has ex
amined the collection of household deli
cacies referred to, and can add his own
testimony to every word which our cor
respondent has uttered. They - are in
deed beautiful, and as proud a trophy
as any gold medal ever won at a col
lege commencement. The cultivation of
the mind is of course of the last import
ance, and may not and cannot be neg
lected in the training of our daughters.
But how often do we sec girls who bear
away the honors and prizes of their alma
mater utterly wanting in the commonest
requisites to comfort and happiness in
domestic life. They cannot fashion a
loaf of bread, hardly know beef from
mutton, would be puzzled if asked to
carve a chieken/and almost equal the
ignorance of the worthy of old; who
could not for the life of' him comprehend
how the apples got into the dumpling.
These charming and cultivated ladies
doubtless, are as ignorant of practical
matters, as the lovely French Queen Ma
rie Antoinette, who, when tho mob were
thundering at the gates of the Tuilleries,
blandly asked what they wanted. The
reply was. “The people axe clamoring on
the bread question.” “On the bread
question?” quoth her royal highness,
“why, what is the trouble ? If they want
cake let them have it.”
Now, however much a young husband
may admire his beauteous bride, and re
joice in her wit and college renown, when
they subside into their little parlor at
home, and the rolls look like mhd heaps,
the coffee, dish-water, and the steak is a
cinder, then he begins to realize that
something more is wanting. He would
then gladly sacrifice a little of madame’s
French for honest English cookery, and
sighs over the defective female education
of the day. Hence, Mrs. Bacon’^ exam
ple should indeed be followed by all of
the fair daughters of. Georgia..
But, in this connection, the achieve
ments of the other ladies who sent con
tributions to the Fair should not be ig
nored. Scores of them have distinguished
themselves by the number and excellence
of the articles they have fabricated. Not
having by us their names, we can only at
present cite one instance. Mrs. W., An
derson, also of Bibb county, has a display
of jellies, preserves, pickles and canned
fruit on the ground, which would make
the fortune of a confectioner. Some of
them are transparently beautiful, and na
ture is preserved to the letter in every
particular. The preserves and pickles es
pecially come unc^r this head. The
taste, too, with which they are bottled
and arranged is exquisite, and fortunately
an admirable light lends increased liistre
to her department. We cannot now re
call the number ef the specimens Mrs.
Anderson has on exhibition, but it is cer
tainly astonishingly large.
Since penning the above we learn that
Mrs. Willie G. White has actually{315
varieties of sweet meats, pickles, etc., at
the exhibition, and from a sample which
found its way into this office, it would be
difficult for any one to excell them. Mrs.
Gresham’s contributions too, are repre
sented to be very fine. Doubtless there
are many others which we cannot now
recall, deserving of commendation.
Too much praise cannot be accorded to
these noble ladies for their magnificent
contributions to our State Exposition.
Macon, Ga., November 1,1873
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: As a
lover of the homes and penates of our dear
old State, and a special admirer of her
nohle women, who (God bless them) are
the true exponents of female loveliness
and duty, permit a looker-on to burden
your columns with a word or two con
cerning the handiwork of one of them. I
allude to the magnificent display of pre
serves, pickles, canned fruits and comfits
prepared by Mrs. A. O. Bacon for the
Bibb county portion of the exposition.
That gentle lady, as accomplished in
household matters as she is in music and
mental cultivation, has actually in posi
tion and tastily arranged at the Fair,
three hundred and forty packages of deli
cacies of the above description.
Many of these are exquisitely beauti
ful, and I doubt not eat os well as they
look. As an example worthy of imitation
by all the daughters and wives of Geor
gia, surely the public should be informed
of this praisewortuy and excellent feat of
one of our most refined and highborn
ladies. Respectfully, J. A. M.
“ Five .Dollar Cliromos. **
Our grave and reverend, but very
interesting contemporary—the New
York Observer—explains at length, in a
recent number, why he does not follow
the example of competing newspapers
and offer " a chromo worth five dollars ”
as a premium to every subscriber who
pays three dollars for his years’ subscrip
tion. Some honest people will naturally
say it is because it cannot be afforded—
the man, if he does that kind of business,
will lose two dollars on every subscrip
tion he takes.
So it would appear to the unsophistica
ted. But it is not true at all, because the
Observer has received propositions from
leading picture printers to furnish any
number of thousands of “Chromos worth
five dollars each” at fifteen cents apiece—
with a guarantee that no copy shall be
sold outside the order “for less than Five
Dollars,” which, of course, upon the vio
lent hypothesis than any others are. sold
at that price, would make the market
price fivo dollars.
Besides a natural objection to going
into the picture business and circulating
thousands of red and blue Match Girls,
Little Orphans and Weeping Maryb, the
Observer abhors a small ** frod ” on tho
pnblic simplicity as mnch as the Arkan
sas lawyer did, and as everybody else
ought to do.
And so also of the pewter spoons
German silver cups, pinchback watches,
tin music boxes, cheap sewing machines,
patent hand organs, apple-parers, Jews
harps, etc., etc., which editors put forth
to encourage a manly fortitude and for
bearance in their readers in bearing with
them yet one more year. If wo set aside
the question of taste, there arises the
point of honesty and candor.
<It is, at best, a practice borrowed from
the gift concerts, dollar stores, and prize,
saloons, where a man is urged to b uy any
thing for twenty-five * cents ancl get a
prize of a hundred dollars. Thepfopoii-
tion naturally implies sharp dealing,
and though if cunningly handled, may
possibly bring much gain, it has not yet
been able to secure the endorsement of
well established and respectable trades
men. It seems strange, then, that edi
tors, who should at least be men of intel-
the state fair.

QTngll, and he could get nothing to eat-r-
which probably accounts for liis disap
pointment. Those of us who eat at home
or took a lunch, were able to see things
from a different standpoint. We all saw
it was much the largest and most' varied
and complete display which has ever been
made in Georgia—a display which filled
many large buildings—and covered a
great space, and which no man could
well examine in less than three days. We
were all as agreeably surprised at its mag
nitude, as “Occasional” was at its mea-
gemess. mtM
Furthermore, we saw a very large crowd
of people every day—tho first one only
excepted; and the fact that the gate re-j
ceipts amounted to four or five thousand
dollars a day, proved that what we saw
was there—because, as tickets run, that
amounj: would represent at least tip thou
sand diily visitors, including free passes
and bnlf and season tickets. But it may
be truly said that twice that number
would not make a crowd on those very ex
tensive grounds..
, Wo are sorry the correspondent did not
go to the great Hippodrome or Amphi
theatre, where he could have seen ten
thousand people at once all seated in one
great circle. That was a fine sight—a
grand sight—and it would have satisfied
him that some few people were on the
grounds, and the attendance was not as
glim as ho supposes.
But what can be viewed satisfactorily
on an empty stomach? Not even the
legion of beautiful Georgia girls on the
grounds provoked a smile.- or a compli
ment from this saturnine “occasional/'
with what nature abhors—a vacuum—
beneath hia waistband.' Wo wore about
to say he should have brought hie sup
ply of provisions with him, but, truth to
tell; we have always found Augusta a
bad place for provisions, arid this may
account for the milk or want of milk in
the cocoanut. The man left Augusta
hungry and did not take time to fill up
after he got here. We hope he remedied
this deficiency soon after writing this
letter, and the next one will be more
good natured,
The Difference-And a Shame
ful One, Too.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post writes as follows concerning
the difference made between subordinate
and high government officials in the. mat
ter of stopping their pay when absent
from duty. He says:
'Ladies have their pay deducted for
every day’s loss of time. One received a
telegram announcing her mother'd death-
She had the expense of the journey to and
from the funeral, and was docked six
days. And so this Administration that is
peripatetic, and votes an increase for its
members whenever it feels pinched for
money, does what was never before'done
in the history of the Government, stop
the salaries of the underpaid clerks for
sickness and for death of relatives, there
by, instead of a reformatory civil service,
inculcating heartlessness- aid the neglect
of those ties of family that every Ration
should endeavor to instill and foster. - A
suffering child or mother must bo neg
lected, or the supplies will be stopped
that give the poor harassed woman the
means to assist them, if only secretaries
and heads of burerius cut off their own
salaries for absences, their clerks would
not complain.” . .
Grant is absent from impost fully one-
third his time, and instead of his pay be
ing docked for such absence it is dohblod.
But the poor who get no increase of sal
ary, have their pay deducted if they hap
pen to be absent for a day, or even a few
hours. The highest officer in the Gov
ernment spends weeks and months at the
seashore, taking his pleasure as no Pres
ident ever dreamed of, and his salary is
paid the same as if he devoted every
hour of his life to the public business:
His Cabinet take their recreations often
and long, and their salaries go on the
same as if they were hard at work. Heads
of Departments are in the same category.
But the poor woman clerk who goes to
pay the last rite to her dead mother finds
her wages “docked” when pay day comes
Captain T. G, Holt.
This gentleman again bears away the
prize of $500 offered for the best five
bales of cotton. Last year he did the
same at Louisville, and indeed ha3 never
failed to take every premium - for which
he has ever contended.
Intelligent, and well posted as to
theory, he is equally expert in practical
performances, and may be considered one
of the most successful planters and use
ful men of the State. Our readers, of
course, are aware that Captain Holt has
occupied the arduous and responsible
position of General Superintendantof the
late Fair. *
As such, his labors for months have
been untiring and most successful.
Mayor Huff and the city of Macon were
fortunate in securing the service of Cap
tain Holt at this juncture, and right
nobly has he discharged hi3 duty. f
The Executive Committee.
This body and their worthy chief, Presi
dent Colquitt, have been very diligent and
faithful in the performance of ail their du
ties during the Fair. The fruits of their la
bors were observed in the admirable or
der and method which were so marked in
every department of the exposition. Ever
at their posts, every question that rose
was at once disposed of, and no confusion
whatever prevailed. The crowd,' too, con
ducted themselves with singular pro
priety, and every one’seemed to be happy
and in a good humor. y ■ J - '

the cotton planters in this section in re

1873. In many cases it, is claimed that
the fertilizers failed to be what they were
represented to be and hence a fuss is
threatened when pay day (the first of
November) comes. Again farmers assert
that they will not sell their cotton at
present prices to meet the payments on
the guano. And, we are informed that a
prominent guano company that has sold
a number of tons in this county refuses
to take the cotton at fifteen cents in pay
ment for the guano sold, and farther,
threatens to foreclose liens promptly after
the first of November if parties indebted
do not come forward and settle.

A Knock-Down Argument in Court.
On last Saturday, at a Justice Court
ground in Cherokee county, D. D. 'Mc
Connell, Esq., was the prosecuting attor
ney in a case of' riot. Just as he was
reading tho warrant, preparatory to an
investigation of the case, one of the pris
oners—of whom there were three-r-struck
him in the back, knocking him nearly
down, and made off through tho \froods at
race-horse speed, and escaped. Just as
McConnell was in the act of rising, he
saw another of the prisoners coming at
.him with an ugly looking boulder;, ibut
this would-be lawyer-slayer was seized by
an officer just.in time to save Mc.’s head.'
At this juncture it was determined to bim
pend proceedings, for the time, and turn
tho rioters over- to the tender mercies of
the next grand jury. f
( Narrow Escape.—Last Saturday morn
ing, while the up way-freight train {was
doing its work here, a portion of the bars
had been detached from the balance of
the train, and were being backed to j the
depot platform, to take on some cars,
when a little son of our esteemed friend
James Pickett, undertook to cross j the
track between the backing train and ;the
cars to be- taken on, and.get uponithe
depot platform. The junior editor, see
ing the critical situation-of the child,
rushed to assist • him upon the platform.
He succeeded in getting hold of the bpv,
and drawing him up to trie platform,
which saved him from instant death, and
would have raised-him to the platform,
but fell, he being . precipitated' in like
perilous-condition with the child. The
train was stopped as quick as possible,
but not until' the ‘ boy had been rolled
some ten feet between the cars and the
platform, without injury, further than his
would-be savior lost some of the lower
extremity of his pants.

What Happened at a Griffin Tem
perance Meeting.—The Griffin Star, tells
the following:
Toward the dose- of the meeting, it
being about ten o’clock, some of the audi-
ence became somewhat restive,-and!per
haps a few went out, when Dr. DeVotie
remarked, in iris peculiar naive way, that
“when this meeting closes all the groce
ries will he open.” No 'more went out.
Before adjournment, a set of resolutions
were offered, which pledged the meeting
to total obstinence, and to use its entire
influence to. put down the traffic in liquors
and their use in every way, except for
mechanical and medicinal purposes.
These were good resolutions, but what
was the horror of our reporter to see that
the ballot was to be taken' by a rising
vote, and that:notes were to,bo counted
by the Secretary. Several pillars of tho
church militant took occasion to slip out
of the house before the vote was taken.
Our reporter stood his ground and so did
a'wortny member of the church sitting
in front of us, who take3 his morning
dram regularly and for the stomach
sake, but never guts disguised with

Here is the way the average Grantite
of Troup county raises the wind these
tight times. We quote from the La
Grange Reporter;
Last Saturday, | an impecunious freed-
man while strolling about town, without
any money in his pocket, concocted a
brilliant scheme to “raise the wind.”
He sat down by a wagon whose owner
hod left it to do some trading, and pretty
soon he saw another darkey sauntering
along whom ho marked for His victim.
“Look a here!” 1 said he of the lean
purse, “have you got twenty dollars
about you?” “S’pect I has,” said the
moneyed man, “but what o’. dat?”
“ Why jest dis, if you’ll lend me dat
twenty dollars ’bout half an hoar, I’ll
gin yer back twenty-one dollars, and I’ll
leave my wagon widyer forscurity.I got
a chance to make a speculation.” The
capitalist “degreed to this;” lent the
twenty dollars and took his seat on the
wqgon: i In a short time, the true owner
returned, and a fierce contention followed
concerning the ownership of tho wagon
that had been pawned. It was finally
settled by the real owner by driving the
wagon off, and the money-lender went
his way, mourning for the speculator,
who has never returned.

Serious Fire in Wilcox.—We regret
to,learn of the serious misfortune that
befell.Mr- Drury W. Reid, of -Wilcox
county, on Friday night last. Mr. Reid;
and family had retired at the usual hour,
but'about midnight awoke to find the -
kitchen on fire. It was connected' with
the dwelling by a covered passage, and
in a few moments both buildings were in
flames. The family were so alnrined and
excited, and the fire spread so rapidly,
that only one or two beds, two trunks and
a small chairs were saved. Everything else
was destroyed, even his children's wear
ing apparel. Some Of them saved scarce
ly enough to protect them from the cold,
through the night. The suioke-house-
sugar-house and other buildings ( were
also destroyed. The greatest calamity,
however, was the probable fatal'burning
of one of Mr.' Reid’3 little sons, aged
about nine years. The heroic little fel
low was enueavoring to save his bed. |He
kept pulling at, trying to get it througn
the doOr, until the flames had nearly en
veloped him. He gave up the bed, and
began crawling upon his knees from the
house. His night garment was
bumedoff his body and legs, 1 and
the ‘flesh burned to a crisp.' He was
alive on Sunday morning,' but was
delirous during the 'previous night,
and it is scarcely expected he; will
survive. The loss is estimated at $4,000.

The Montgomefy Advertiser of! Tues

From all accounts the negro, who made
the speech at the Capitol last .Monday
was' guilty of uttering the vilest and
most incendiary of language. It would
take but little of such talk, if he is truth
fully represented by negroes, who heard
him, to produce a conflict in this country
of a dreadful character. If there is no
law for the prevention pf such-harangues
there ought to be,’and that speedily.
When officers made their appearance on
the grounds for the purpose of arresting
this mischievous scoundrel, ou the
charge, of Horse stealing, he managed
.to escape, but it is said that a most ugly
disposition was manifested by many

tent of showing pistols and knives
and vowing that he should not be arrest
ed. The principal actor made his escape
but a portion of the crowd remainefl on
the - grounds until a late hour and made
the night hideous with, their yells. Ne
groes are in the end only injuring them
selves when they listen to the wild talk of
ejther white or black men who abase the
owners of tho land in this countiyi and
strive to stir up discontent in the minds
of the negroes. They are causing them
to lean on a broken reed when‘they re

the Marquis said: •

The Rothschilds have thus been drainers

hundred dollars are out of pocket withon

One of-the ;Syndicates reached Paris
after a, nice tour, through Germany and
Switzerland vith a few francs in his
pocket. A letter of credit for two hun
dred dollars met him. by appointment
there, and out of this he was to buy pres-
ents'for wife and daughter. Of 'course
this, too, “has gone where the woodbine

wife had a little private fortune which
she was hoarding for the daughter as a
marriage endowment. She and tier daugh
ter might’ have taken the money and

themselves this pleasure, and left it in
Jay Cooke’s bank, where they'thought it
would do the most good. - Alas! and
alas ! It- went where it has done no 'one
any good, but the regrets are great that
it was not used so that there might have
been some equivalent. A retired naval
officer had -seven thousand dollars, the
savings of a lifetime. Mr. H. D. Cooke
talked Pacific stock to him until he. con
vinced the gentleman ttiat there was no
investment like it. The officer- tried to
be prudent, and concluded iiei would only
purchase stock for half tho amount, and
deposit the balance in the First National.
Now he thinks it made ( little difference
which h'e had done, for it went with jthe
seven hundred thousand which the bank

float the bonds a little . longer. And so

Tlie Frencli Monarchy.
The Frencli papers say that the Count
of Chamhord has vindicated his family
•reputation and secured his prospects'for
the throne i by writing a letter to M, do
Chesnelong, one of the delegation fiforn
the party of the Right in tho National
Assembly, who' waited- upon him to get
his. political views. Ih this letter the
Count says misapprehensions have arisen
nding to obscure hi's policy, which is as
clear as day. • He owes the whole truth
to the c*untry. He is asked to' sacrifice
his honor. He emphatically declares he
retracts nothing, curtails nothing of his
previous declarations of yesterday for .the
shadow of what would be exacted to-nior-
row. He cannot inaugurate a strong reign
by an.act of weakness. He.energetically
refuses to relinquish the white flag. He
indignantly repels insinuations tnat he
mistrusts the valor of the soldiers.
On the contrary, he. seeks to confide
to them all he holds dear. He ■ ignores
none of his country’s glories and contin
ues : “ We have a great work to accom
plish, which I am ready to undertake at
anytime. This is why I wish to remain
as I am.; Were I enfeebled to-day, I
would be powerless to-morrow. The issue

this, we wish you to add, by yoiir official

specie of the world is hoarded in revolu

“Therefore, as expected, the jews

THE HOARDING OF MONEY.
At a celebrated English Parliamentary
investigation, a few years ago, the ques^
tion was asked: •
What would be the effect of the
first shot fired between England and
France?*
“ The witness replied: ‘ The hoarding
up of 2,000,000,000 of francs over Eu-
‘Let me give an instance of the same
kind in America. ‘During the late panic,’
said a stranger to ine, ‘I drew on a' well
known -European house'.for $1,029 cur
rency previously insured by. a cable'-ac-
ceptance. I received two $500 bills aiid
$29 scattering. Said I: ‘Please change
one of these great American bills as I
must go'out of the city to my family to
night.’ ' He . replied: 'I cannot. Cur
rency is not to be had.’ So I ran around
New York greatly perplexed; full of
money, but without the bills of small de
nomination to pay my steamboat fare.
After eruausting all general' resources, I
applied to a mend: ‘Bon Dieu! Help
me' out of this uncivilized extremity.’
He said: T will; because when I foresaw
or felt this panic coming, I drew ofit of
my bank $40,000 and hoarded it up.’ ”
“Thus,, the greatest banking firm keeps
its supremacy by buying gold constantly
in quiet times, and by knowing where the
vast excess of gold is hoarded in times of
panic. Gold is capricious as the human’
spirit. . It is the ; currency of the ages.
You must destroy the olaest superstition
of men before you can put anything in its
place. What could tho Rothschilds have
done to save themselves in 1848 if paper
were the staple of money?
“ France,” said the Marquis de Cham
hron, “is tho nation which brings Out
gold the quickest and cheapest, because,
in fifty years, she has never dishonored
her obligations, whatever the class or
race,of the beneficiary.. Her la8t loan
brought 58 francsj on 50 francs.’ The bank
of France is the iaost approved bank in
Europe, because it bfihaves closest to the
etiquette of realistic and civilized bank-
ing; it does not, likeyoux American banks,
or the Bank of England, invest any of
its surplus in real estate; but the amount
of investments in the best negotiable bus
iness-paper determines its circulation.
Its general.suooess, considering our many
disturbances,'is greater than the Bank
of England. If it held merely mortgages
on land and houses, and there was a sud
den inn upon it, its circulation would be
exhausted; hut, as its loans axe on busi
ness-paper, it has an elasticity of circu-
lation; for it can increase its currency
when there is most need.
To show a relation between the
amount of currency and the needs of a
nation for it;”, said the Marquis, finally,
“ is the problem of squaring the circle.
TUeije is no hunt to the amount of money
which a‘ panic will not' absorb. But tii do
any banking upon a basis of paper which
makes no promise of redeemability in
specie, is, to invite panics, an I meet them
with new expansions, which will
absorbed in times of panio. That is the
difference bet ween, your merchants and
those of , Europe. The American mer
chant would like the Government to'help
him, out of his need, without inquiring
about the legitimacy of the help issued.
But nobody cuts loose from a gold and
silver basis in Europe without some'dis
tinct understanding.”
THE AMOUNT OF GOLD IN THE WORLD.
■The movement of gold and the amount
of it extant must well be studied bv; any
financier of pretensions, and nothing
could alarm the owners of gold more thaa
to read Mr. Bout well’s, report, and hear
in,his official expression the* opinion of
the United States, viz : that ‘ the prin
ciples of political economy do not apply
to the pui-poses of oiir Government. The
test question asked of a witness is,Do
you believe in a. Supreme Being and a I
system of rewards and punishments?”
If he do hot, he is thrown out of court. !
In like maimer, the jury of mankind will j
