Walked on one of the braee wires from the

as a gymnast on tho wire. At 4 o'clock Mr.

—Notwithstanding the electric light score,
the London gas shares continue to ho the

Onisntiftn men are as confident that tho cleo
• trio light is the light of the near future as
they are that present lights, including Edi
son’s, have not fulfilled the premises made
for them. This is appreciated in London,
and atrenons efforts are being mado by its
gat companies ro extend the use of gas for
—n-f end heating purposes. Within the
past year the price of gas h&s been consider
ably reduced, but the demand for gas has
been already so largely increased for purpo
ses of oookieg and heating, that the profits
for the yexr are In cxeees of previous years,
allowing a dividend of ten par cent, in com
mon stock. Ths cooking and heating gas
brings to Paris gas companies a large annual
iaoome, and London companies expect the
saasasscmiasaoertaln prejudice against
gas in the kitchen is overcome. When that
is accomplished the gas companies of the
great metropolis will have little to fear
from Edison or any other elsotrio lght in

Tunes in Great Britain.
A London correspondent of Jhe New
York Sun sees many signs that England
is does upon a tremendous crisis. The
danger arises mainly from the rapid de
cline ef her export trade, which, ho says,
sin-o 1872, its culminating point, has
fallen off over three hundred millions a
year, or nearly twenty-five per cent, of
its aggregate amount at that time.
Only twelve or thirteen per cent, of
the population of the United Kingdom
is now engaged in agriculture—the vast
remainder drawing tbeir support fiom a
rapidly failing commerce and manufac
tures. Of this immense laboring popu
lation scarcely half can b: furnished with
eteady employment at adequate wageB.
A good many are absolutely idle, while
still more work on abort time, and in one
way or another pick up a precarious and
stinted subsistence. Government has
resolved to relieve the pressure by in
creased investments in public wirks,
manifestly for tho purpose mainly of fur-
nishing employment to the idle.
But with the best efforts of govern
ment and private employers the case ia
incurable, and becoming more aggrava
ted from day to day. The great inter
ests controlling all tbe leading manufac
tures of Great Britain in fibres and
metals find it more and more difficult to
harmonize the conditions of their own
solvent existence with living prices to
their operatives. Hence, the records of
the past two years have been little else
than successive struggles between these
parties In which bad blood has been en
gendered and is daily increasing and in-
flaming.
Meanwhile, trade is becoming more and
more embarrassed by foreign 'competi
tion and by Continental tariffs; and
there is no one fioanoial or business inter
est wbiohia not disordered or decayiog.
Tte comparatively email agricultural in
terest, which has sunk from twenty-two
percent, in 1841 to less than thirteen
per cent, in 1878, is prostrate under com
petition with Amertoan provisions and
breadstnffs Mneh of it cannot pay rent
and labor, and, added to tbts, is the mtl-
aooboly fact that more than one-half of
the meat and bread consumed in England
are prodaced abroad. In the faoe, there
fore, of the constantly increasing disor
der and weakness of the conditions, a
oollspso of some kind seems to be inevi
table at no distant day.
These are gloomy auguries which we
hope, in the o .. t ter of events and acci
dents, someto.u; may turn np to falsify.
But, perhaps me most unfortunate of all
events cootemporanoue with the deoline
of English trade after the close of the
Ameriaan war, was the unaccountable
European combinations to push eilverout
of the monetary field, and so precipitate
and aggravate the general decline of
vames as gnaged by a contracted cur
rency.
Then cime tbe collapse in the East In
dia trade—tbe failure of the banks and
oommeroial houses dependant npon it—
the prostration of the manufactures sap
plying that trade and the immense bos
ses and diaorgamzitions resulting from
two years of strikes and idle laborers and
factories. And here in a small way to
day we see illustrated bow,
a lime of tuoh disorder, every
thing goes awry, and misfortune.* rules
the hour, for no sooner had the s iking
eoal miners agreed to work again, than
they find the ooal markets supplied by the
Germans, who have taken advantage of
their idleness. In these times it don’t do
to fool with the bread question. If
man wants to be enre of hie dinner let
him take all fair ebanoes to seoure it.
Wliat Stopped tbe Exodus.
Tho New York Sun, reviewing the
‘'exodab” and its sudden collapse, is of
opinion that the latter grew oat of the
action of the negro meetings and convex
tions combined, with a sudden practical
application of a little arithmetic on the
part of the Northern whites.
And first, a word in passing aboat these
negro meetings, to which such impor
tance seem3 to be attached by the North
ern people. They, in point of fact, rep
resent nothing except a little wire palling
by a few active spirits of both races. The
race is not yet capable of a pnblio opin
ion, and it is usually the purpose of these
meetings to misrepresent facts to suit
their object. Tbe moBt of them are abso
lutely worthless as indicative, either of
facts or opinions, affecting tho colored
race In the South.
The Sun points out that the burdon of
eomplaint at these meetings of the color
ed people is that they are denied equal
social privileges—equal terms of admis
sion, to churches, schools, theatres, to pub
lic office, to the jury box, etc., etc., all of
which denials exist in a far greater ex
tent throughoat the Northern and West
ern Slates.
Now, these complaints have inspired re
flection among the Northern brethren and
when they have taken down these States
and ciphered into the practical bearing
of an equal division of these dissatisfied
people among the Slates they have be.
come uneasy. They find, for example,
that it means an accession of 700,003 col
ored people to the Empire State, and a
proportionable figure to each of the
others.
This is not a pleasant prospect at all.
It threatens a psrpatml row in every de
partment of life—doscestio, religious, in
dustrial, educational, at home or on the
road. Like prudent men, the white
brethren foresee the evil and hide th em-
selves. The contributions,which were
to come by thousands, have stopped with
jerk. A general “a-c-h-i-s-h” his
passed from month to month from Maine
to Montana. The “shat np” about these
"suffering negroes” has been as sudden
as a flash of lightning, and the brethren,
every one of them, have made out a com
plete mental quit claim to the negroes
in favor of the South to the end of time—
forever and a day.

CA«E SUSTAINED-DEACON F. E. BLOCK
RE-INSTATED IN ALL HIS BIGHT3 OP
CHUBCH MEMBEBSHIP-THE DELIV
ERANCE OP THE aSSBHBLY ON THE
OVERTURE OF THE ATLANTA PRESBY-
TKBY.
At last tbe agony is over and the ques
tion which shook to its centre the most
powerful Presbyterian Chnroh in Atlan
ta, and forced tbe resignation of its pas
tor, has been finally passed upon by the
highest tribunal of the church. It is
needless to add that the action of that
augost body was eminently discreet and
conservative. And just here it wonld be
well to reiterato that npon the question
of the morality of certain worldly
amusements, tbo dance included,
there is no division of sentiment
whatever, either in the Assembly or the
membership of tbe Presbyterian church
at large. All deprecate the iadulgenoe
in each pastimes, but differ only as to
the mode of restraining them. Shall it
be done by expostulation, admonition,
the preached Word and example, or
made a matter of harsh judicial disci
pline? The Assembly very properly
chooses the latter, while at tbe same
time according to the chnrch sessions
all their constitutional rights in the
premises, subject to review by the supe
rior judicatures when appealed to.
It should be stated that Dr. LsftwiCch
had withdrawn his "complaint,” bat the
question was reached through a motion
by Dr. Woodrow to take from the docket
the report of the records of the Synod
of Georgia. Tois was carried, and the
Doctor then read the notion of Synod on
the Block question, as follow r:
Tbe Synod find:
"First—That laws exist in onr consti
tution which bis applicable to all offen
ses, including under that term popolsr
amusements of all kinds, when these are
in their own nature sinful or from atten
dant oiroumstanoes become so.
‘‘Second—that when common fame
charged Mr. F. E. Block, a r,ciooa of the
Atlanta Central oburcb, with saving vio
lated & law of the ehnrob, in eonnection
with dancing, it was the duty of the Ses
sion of said chnroh to investigate this
obarge, in obedienoe to commands of the
General Assombiy, as contained in its de
liverance, made in answer to the over
tures of D.-s. R.bs and Dabney and the
Presbytery of Atlanta, in tbe years 1865,
1869 and 1877.
"Tnird—Ibat the proceedings of said
Session, in conducting the trial to whioh
this investigation led, were irregular.
First—In failing to speoify with suffioient
particularity in tbe charge, what law of
its chnroh had been violated. Second—
In falling to observe the requirements
of its Book of Discipline in chapter four,
seotion five. Third—In including in the
sentences specifications of offenses not
set forth in the ohsrge.
“Fourth—That tbe decision of said
Session was not sustained by the evi
dence.
“Fif'h—Therefore, on these grounds,
the Synod reverses tbe decision of tbe
Presbytery of Atlanta in this esse, and
tbo sentence pronoanced npon Mr. F. E.
Block by tbe Session of the Atlanta Cen
tral ehnrob, and it restores Mr. Blook to
tbe privileges of ohnroh membership.’'
Dr. Woodrow ably defended this action
of the Georgia chnrcb, bat, pending far
tber discussion, Mr. J. G. Richards
moved to suspend farther dieouasion un«
til after the report of the Committee on
Bills and Overtures bad been received.
Adopted. At a subsequent period, Mr.
Kennedy, for Dr. Peck, chairman of the
Committee on Bills snd^Overturcs, read
overture No. 5, from the
FSEiBYTEBT OF ATLANTA.
This overture asked the Assembly for
definite instruotion upon tho following
pointe, lo-wit:
First—Are the deliverances of 1865,
18G9 and 1877 on the subject of worldly
amusements to bo aooepted and euforoed
as law by judioial process ?
Seoond—Are all tbo offenses named in
them to be so dealt with, or are exoeptionB
to be made ?
Third—Are the deliveranoes of all onr
church courts of tbe samo nature and
authority, so far as the bounds of these
respective courts extend ?
To the above the committee submitted
the following response:
First—This Assembly wonld answer
the^first question in the negative, npon
the following gronnds:
First—that these deliverances do not
require judicial prosecution expressly,
and could not require it, withont viola
ting the spirit of our law.
Second—That none of these deliver
ances were made by tbe Assembly in a
strictly judicial capacity, but were all
deliverances in thesi, and therefore can
be considered as only didactic, advisory
and monitory.
Third—That the Assembly has no
powe-' i issue orders to institute process,
oxce,> according to the provisions of the
Book ot' Discipline, chapter YII., in the
old, and chapter — in the revised book;
and all these provisions imply that the
court of remote jurisdiction is dealing
with a particular court of original juris
diction, and not with snch courts in gen
eral. The jurisdictions, therefore, npon
the sessions to exercise discipline in the
matter of worldly amusements are to be
understood only as utterances of the sol
emn teetimonT of these Assemblies
against a great and growing evil in the
chnrch. The power to utter snch a tes
timony will not bo disputed since it is
so expreealy given to the Assembly in
the form of government, chapter xii, sec
tion 5 of the old, aad in the revised book
of Chnrch Order, chapter v, section 6;
and this testimony this Assembly does
hereby solemnly and affectionately reit
erate.
In thns defining the meaning and in
terest of the action of former Assemblies,
this Assembly does not mean, in the
slightest degree, to interfere with the
power of discipline in any of its forms,
which is given to the courts below by the
constitution of the church; or to intimate
that discipline, in its sternest form, may
not be necessary, in some cases, in order
to arrest the evils in question. The oc
casion, the mode, the degree, and the
kind of discipline must be left to the
coatts of original jurisdiction, under the
checks and restraints of the constitution.
All that ia designed is to deny the power
of the Assembly to make law for the
church in the matter of "offenses,” or
to give to its deliverances in these tbe
force of jadicial decisions.
Seoond—The re’ond question, which ia,
"Are all the offenses named in the deliv
erances of 18G9, and 1877, to be dealt
with in a way of j ndicial process, or are
exceptions to be made ?” needs no answer
after what has been said in answer to the
first.
Third—In answer to the third qneation
relative to the nature and authority of
onr different chnrch courts, this Assem
bly wonld say that the nature and au
thority of alluur church courts are the
same, so far as the bounds of the a 3 re
spective oonrts extend, subject, otconne,
to tbe provisions fbr review and control
of the lower courtsby the higher. The
power of the whole is in every part, but
the power of the whole ia the power of
every part.
The perplexity aboat the nature .of tbe
deliverances in question has arisen bom
confounding two eenaea ; in which the
word discipline is used in our constitu
tion. One is that of “judicial process,”
the other ia that of inspection, inqueit,
remonetranee, rebuke Mid private admon
ition. Tbe one is etriotly judicial and
forenaio j the other Is that general over
sight of the fiook which belong* to the
officers of the church, as charged by the
Holy Ghost with the duty of w&tohing
for souls. The one can not bo adminis
tered at all except by a count of the
church ; the other, while it is a function
cf that charity whioh all the members of
tho chnrch are bound to possess and
cherish for each other, is yet the special
and official function of the talers, to be
exercised with authority toward those
whn are committed to their care. Ia tho
judgment of this Assembly great
harm is done by the custom of
identifying, in popular speech, the
two forms of discipline, or,
rather, by forgetting that there ia some
other discipline than that of jadicial pro
cess. Many an erring ehcep might hs
restored to a place of safety within the
fold by kind and tender, yet firm and
faithful efforts, in private, who might be
driven farther away by the immediate
resort tc discipline in its sterner and
more terrifying forms. The distinction
here asserted ia recognized In the Word
of God, and in our constitution, for sub
stance at least, in the directions given for
the oonduct of chnrch members in the
case of personal acd private injuries.
(See chapter 2, article 3 of the old book
of discipline, and chapter 1, paragraph
4, of the revised; also Matthew xviii, 15,
16.) If scandal can be removed or pre
vented in such cases more effectually,
oftentimes by faithful dealing in private
with offenders, than by judicial process,
it does not appear why similar good re
sults may not follow from like dealing in
the matter of worldly amoBements.
Respectfully submitted.
After some discussion during which an
amendment proposed by Dr. Woodrow to
the committee was rejected, this gentle
man again moved to amend by striking
oat the word "admonition.” „
Dr. Martin called attention to the fact
that, if the amendment of Dr. Woodrow
should be adopted, the Assembly would,
as a court of the Lord Jesus Christ, abol
ish one of the great functions of the em
base&dors ot the Lord. He believed it
would strike a blow at the corporate body
ot the church. The ministers were even
prohibited from exercising the right of
private Christians.
Dr. J. L. Rogers said he offered an ad
ditional amendment with the consent of
Dr. Woodrow, to the effect that tbe word
"private” be introduced to qualify admo
nition. Carried.
The paper was then adopted as amend
ed.
And thna cloaca this exoiting question,
which has erased so much disputation
and angry controversy, both in secular
and religious journals. It is one emi
nently of conscienoe, and to bo decided
by eaoh individual for himself in the
light of God’s word, and with due regard
to the tuiinga and admonitions of the
chnrch. The latter, however, it will be
seen, has been enfficiently admonished to
abstain from harsh and tyrannical action
toward* members who may indulge in
dancing and theatre-goiog, yet without
overt sin. It should rather reBort to the
far more efficacious methods of "inepec<
tion, inquest, remonstrance, rebuke and
private admonition.”
We notioe that the distinguished port
tion of chairman of the j udicial committee
of the General Assembly was given to
Colonel Joel A 'Billups, of Georgia. Thu
is the first instance we can recall where
a layman has been thus honored. We
have nsed the columns of the Courier-
Journal in the preparation of this article.
Congress—A Deadlock.
The House wrestled all night Friday in
an effort to get a voting quorum on the
bill relating to the transfer of oases from
State to Federal coarts. It adjourned on
Saturday morning to 12 at noon, bnt at
last accounts had affected nothing. We
presume it will close the week in the samo
condition; but for the facts refer the rea
der to the midnight telegram?.
The legislative appropriation bill was,
daring the day, signed by the presiding
officers and transmitted to the executive
for approval. It is certain that it will
be promptly returned with another veto,
on account of general legislation, intend-
ed to restore the liberty and equality of
citizens of the Southern States. What
is to follow the veto ia not so clear; bnt
wejndgethe samo course will be pur
sued as before—to-wit: that the appro
priations and the other legislaiton will
be embodied in separate bills, acd Con
gress then adjourn.
This is denounced as a lame conoluaion
and a Democratio defeat, and so it is, as
to the present defeat of unconstitutional
and oppressive legislation. Bnt the at
tention of the country has been drawn to
these topics and the attitude of parties
thereon. All these proceedings go to
make np the record upon which the great
appeal is to be made to the people in
1880, and it will not do to pronounce off
hand what has been lost or won in this
great controversy, in which all the argo*
ment has been on the Demooratio side,
and tbe other has displayed so muoh of
passion and sinister purpose. Let ns be
patient.

ootton States which oan be expressed by

most refer it to moral causes—loss of
confidence on tbe part of buyere,founded,
perhaps, on general doubts of the finan

as the reoeipts still oontinua to show

MACON’S WHOLEEALE GROCE-
BY TRADE.
The Extensive Establishment el
Jaqaes St Jehnsen-
The writer has frequently, from rime
to time, noticed and dwelt atlesgtn npon
the rapidly increasing dry goods basinees
ot Macon, now second to that of no other
city in the State. He proposes, in this
article, to talk a little aboat her grocery
trade, bnt will oonfine himself to tbe
operation* of a single boose.
MC38B3. JAQUES Jc JOHNSON
began business here on a limited scale
aboat four or fire years ago. The senior
was a warm and gallant Confederate, and
we could almost interesting tale unfold
concerning his war experiences, if ft were
right to violate the personal confidence of
the narrator. Suffice it to say, he is uni-
versallyreoognized a* the embodiment of
honeBty and integrity, and justly esteem
ed a model oitizen. Hie associate, Mr.
Johnson, we have known W6ll and loved
for yean. He ia an intelligent, pleasant
gentleman, with a streak ofhnmor run
ning all throngh him, whioh ic simply un
controllable, and withal a prudent, oare
ful, uptight business man. Indeed, of
thisfirmitoan truly be said, that they
never speonlate or dabble In "fatnree,”
bat earn their money by steady blow B
and constant diligence, and therefore hold
fast and save all that they asoumulate.
They bay their goods fer cash on the nail,
and are oontent with small profits and
rare.
A visit yesterday to the establishment
of Messrs. Jaques & Johnson, and a
minute examination of their stock, filled
the writer with astonishment. We were
prepared for no such exhibit, aad capi
tally doubt if there is a concern in the
State or entire Sontb, that carries a lar
ger stock, or does a moro extensive busi-
nett.
In the first place, they occupy two con
tiguous buildings on Third street, con
taining three floors or six apartments, 66
feet by 125 feet each, in dimensions.
TheBe ere soon to be thrown into one by
the removal of tbo partition, which will
be supported by arches, and the construc
tion of a single front. This chango will
make the edifice far more imposing in
appearance.
A portion of the floor of the basement
is covered with cement, and here ia stored
immense quantities of meat, lard, syrup,
sugar, butter and potash, which are pre
served from all deterioration by the cold-
ness of the atmosphere. By the light
of a candle we explored these subterra
nean vaults and wondered where con
sumers could be found for so many
goods.
In the upper two stories, tobacco, flier,
coffee, tea, fancy grooerios, canvassed
hams, msckerel, ante, spioss, cigars, liq
uors, ahelf goods and every article be
longing to the trade, covered every avail
able inoh of spaoe.
Besides this the firm have rented a
CAPACIOUS WAREHOUSE
on the railroad, oapable of containing the
contents of forty ears, whioh is nsed for
storing heavy goods whioh are sold by the
car load. This establishment is shortly
to be connected by a telephone with
the city office.
To afford some idea of the magnitude
of the operations of Messrs Jaqaes &
Johnson, we have only to give a few sta
tistics of their business.
Their sales last year reaohed nearly
ON* MILLION CF DOLLARS.
The past season over 4,000 rolls, or
225.000 yards,of octton bagging were di3
posed of.
Ia the single month of January no
less than one million pounds ot meat
were supplied to their customers.
Within a few months they have handled
3,000 sacks of coffee, and^sinco the first
ot May 600 boxes of tobacco. More
wonderful still, within the pasture days,'
or since May 19, no leEB than 22 car
loads of goods have been receipted for,
which were sold on arrival at the depot
without even being stored.
Ordinarily, the firm carry in stock
abont 200 barrels of sugar, and the same
amount of lard, and 500 sacks of coffee,
but have constantly largo amounts ot
goods in transitu to meet tho current de
mands of their customers. Their busi
ness permeates every foot of ground
tribatary to Macon over all the railrords,
and even approaches the very gates of
Savannah and Augusta.
As an instance of the magnitude of
their operations, we wonld state that two
months ago a stock of 60,000 psands of
choice hams were bought and paid for,
not one of whioh remains unsold.
Messrs. Jaqaes <fc Johnson have made
arrangements to receive weekly ship
ments of choice butter directly from Now
York dairies, and are also the agents for
two extensive merchant mills from which
they reoeive and dispose of one thousand
barrels of floor per month.
ThiB house is also prepared to compete
with Atlanta or any other point South,
in th« price of these goods; and cannot
be undersold. This establishment is an
honor to our city, and we trust that coun
try merchants will read this truthful re
port of the facilities offered to them, and
govern themselves accordingly.

Macon, Hiy 233, 1879.
Editors Telgrapk and Jlfessengen
At yonr request I give you briefly my
views upon Mr. Stephens’ position upon
the internal revenue and ourrency ques
tion, as delivered by him before tho Dem-
oratiocaucu3 at Washington very recent
ly. Of the internal revenue he speaks as
folio we:
“There are some matters of legislation
coming np that I think should be acted
upon at once. First, the internal reve
nue system should be modified. For my
self, I am free to say that I would strike
the entire system from the statute book.
I know it is said that it is essential for
the maintenance of the credit ot the gov
ernment—that we cannot dispense with
the large revenues derived from that
source. There is no one in this house
lees disposed to weaken the credit of this
government than I, but there are otber
ways of collecting the necessary revenues,
and modes more equal and just in their
operation, and more practical, than onr
present system. This, at least, is my
judgment. Without going into details,
L must say that I think the present sys
tem, which eubjeots the farmer to a pen
alty of twelve months m the Aibany pen
itentiary, for diBtilling his own grain or
fruits for his own use is a monstrous out
rage. I think that for his own use, a man
has aa much right to boil hia corn into
whisky as to boil it into hominy. But, it
iBsaid, where will yon get the revenne
that comes from this source? I eay
remodel your tariff. From the present
free list, many additional millions may
be raised. From the present prohibi
tory list, maoy more millions may be
raised by redneing existing duties to
revenue points. Again, there is another
mode of raising the necessary revenues
much more just and equal in its opera
tions. I mean tho ad valorem tax upon
the property of the country; if not npon
land, at least upon personal property.
There ara many millions of personal
property in the United States untaxed by
the Federal Government. Where ia the
justice in taxing tho poor laborer $15 to
$20 for his whisky and tabacco, while
others, possessed of hundreds, thousands
and millions, pay nothing for their poss
essions, which are proteoted by the gov
ernment? We shonid equalize taxes.
All who enjoy the advantages of the gov
ernment ehcnld bear equally tne neces
sary and just hardens. Oar present sys
tem beara unequally and unjustly, in my
opinion, upon the toiling millions.
While I said I would be willing to
strike from the statute-book our whole
system of intornal revenue, with its most
expensive machinery, yet if, npon a foil
hearing, it should be thought best to re
tain part, some ot its worst features
should bo most certainly removed. Toe
present syaiem is unequal oa Slates as
well as classes and individuals. Virginia
alone ainoe tbe war, has paid in internal
revenne on her tobaooo more than enough
to cancel her entire State debt, now
amounting to over $44,000,000. It is
true that in the last Congress we rednoed
tbe tax on tobaooo from twenty-four to
sixteen cents, bat' it is still an enormous
tax upon tbe labor of that State, unequal
and unjust. The same applies to Ken
tucky, Missouri, and other tobaooo-grow-
ing States. I would by no means advo
cate tbe renewal of the old system of in
come tax. That was wrong in many re-
speota. It bore unjustly upon labor in
its various departments, professional and
otherwise, but I would reaob, by a just
and equal system, tho property and
wealth of the country, whether consist
ing of stocks bonds, or other pnblio se
curities, from whioh large inoomes are
derived. I mean now only to say that a
proper and just system can be devised,
and that we ahonld not adjourn without
at least attempting relief upon the sub
ject.”
Now, I endorse most fully thia view
and can add nothing to it3 weight. The
injustice of this impost ia perfectly ap
parent, and, like the cotton tax, should
never have been passed. To tax tobacco
grown in Virginia, and leave out IHinoie
pork and Vermont potatoes, is in confliot
with the spirit of Ssc. VIII, Art. 1, of
the Constitution of the United States,
which declares that “all duties, imports
and exerolses shall be uniform through
out the United States.”
TH* XFFXCT OF TH* SKVZNUK LAW ON
WHISHT, ETC., ON THE PUBLIC MORALS,
is, however, in my opinion, the worst fea
ture in it. The enormona tsx upon
whisky has, as is well known, changed
tho whole character of the process of its
production. It absolutely prohibits by
its requirements the manufacture of
whisky itself, rimall distillers cannot go
into the business on account of the oner
ous requirements it places upon
them. Even our fruiiB and
berries cannot be distilled into pure
brandy, while the large establishments
are forced to make what is called low
winos, Cologne spirits, eto., and from,
these what is called whisky is made by
rectifiers. Now, to give it 8ge, oolor,
taste, eto., instead of putting a barrel of
whisky in a loft and keeping it nntil the
fusil oil has escaped and it has become
fit for uso by natural evaporation, the
reotifier gives it age, oolor and taste at a
moment's notioe. To produce this
ohange chemicals of the moBt deleterious
character are constantly used, and the
poor fellow who pnta himself around a
pint of this horrid staff, beoomes not
drank only, bnt crazj—and imbned with
a tiger-like savageness of feeling.
Carrying concealed weapons is a .bad
praotioe and shonid be frowned down by
the good citizens and severely punished
by the courts, but in nine oases out of ten
of homicide the elayer, full of the
oommon whisky of the country,
wonld kill quite as easily,
and half crazy, hair brute, all drunk aa
he is, quite effectually, with a pen knife,
billet of wood, almost anything at hand,
indeed, as with a pistol. Too often the
author of the deed that sends a fallow-
mortal to eternity, leaving a wife and
children nnprovided for, wakes np In jail
with a poor wife and weeping children
around him, perfectly unconscious of
what has happened. It does seem to me
that a government which extorts such a
tax as does ours on whiskey should guar
anty its parity, or abolish the tax, and
let people as of yore mike it pure at
home.
THE ILLICIT DISTILLATION OF WHISKY,
caused, of course, by an effort to evade
the law, fills many parts of the State with
gangs of bad men, eduoated toviolecoe
and ready for almost any illegal fray,
Thera men look upon the government as
tbeir sworn enemy. They feel whatever
they oen do to esoape its vigilacoe or in
jure and even kill its agents is right. To
suppress this olsas the inaeeesriblo and
monntainons parts of the 8tate, in order
to arrest these "moonshiners,” have to bo
visited by armed bodies of men—bad,
and oomposed too often of violent and
Irresponsible persons—and this oames, in
times of perfeot peace and quiet, a dis-
graoe to onr government and people both,
riotous and deadly conflicts, enormous ex
penses, thousands of arrests aad oases in
ooutt, and bitter and abiding enmities in
hitherto pecoefol neighborhoods, aad ail
brought on by this invidious and harmful
tar.
TH* CURRENCY AND A REVIVAL IN BUSI-
NWS -
is alluded to by Mr. Stephens as follows:
"One other thought, One reason of
the present depression throughout the
country is the want of a suffioient volume
of currencv. Carrenoy is the life blood
of the body politic. At this time, by the
continued contraction under the present
financial system, there is a deficiency of
currency necessary for the business et
the country. This could, in my opinion,
and ought to be, remedied by removing
the present restrictions upon the coinage
of silver. The coinage of this metal should
he unrestricted, unlimited.' Beside* this
I would bring into active and immediate
use all the present bullion of tbe oonatry.
I would authorizs the assaying and
stamping to an unlimited extent of all
the gold and silver bullion that could be
brought to our mints, and authorize the
issue of government certificates for the
amount cf its value in denominations
now allowed by law for coinage. Toe
mint power of the United Btai-a oaunoi
no .v tarn out more than $36,000,000 per
annum, but by assaying the bullion and
stamping its value in blocks or bars, and
the issuance of certificates far the
amounts, $500,000,000, or perhaps $700.-
000,000 of carrenoy could be put out in
six months, or a year at tho furthest.
This would be no inflated currency; it
would be no fiat money; it wonld be tbe
best currency in the world; it would be
receivable for all public dues. Wo have
passed that day in civilization in which
tbo coins, gold or silver, are wanted in
ordinary business transactions. We
have come to that point at which we
want, not promises to pay, bac the
equivalent for coin. I am myself for
hard money. I was brought up in the
hard money school. I am for har
money, not to oarry about in yonr pocket,
or roll in the wheelbarrows, bat to remain
in the vaultB of the treasury, with its
equivalent in the form of paper in the
hands of the people.”
What word* can add anything to tho
strength cf the above concise argument?
It is terse and short, bnt irresistible, and
1 agree with him most heartily. It is
not the amount of capital in a conn-
try that produces wealth rapid
ly, it is its ready procurement for
the pay of profitalls laborers, (I
follow Paley and include In this term all
that^make or tarnish or desire necessary,
service or articles to the producer.)
It is not the amount of labor that
can be had in a country that makes it
prosperous, but its full and liberal em
ployment that makes prosperity and hap
piness. All the gold in the Bank of
Franca might be deposited ia our city,
and if not employed in some active way,
it-would aid not a feather-weight to
wards helping ns towards better times,
in facr, bnt for whatever tax it might
pay. It might aa well be so many pounds
of dead rock, so far as the peonie at
large are benefited by it. We have mil-
lions of money lying idle all over the Uni
ted States, millions more have been in
vested in government bonds at fonr per
cent interest, and yet the manufacturer,
the merchant, the farmer, and all othetB
in active business groan and die under
the terrible inenbee of enormous rates of
interest. Why is this
WHAT. THIN, HAS CAUSED THE FRE3BNT
DEPRESSED 8TATS OF BUSINESS ?
This question is easily answered, but
takes far moro time than we oan give to
it; but among the causes most apparent
are : The destruction and chango of the
system of slavery at the South, which
involved in a thousand ways her people
and brought on changes in labor, making
crops, land values, values of stock, etc.,
etc. Then also in the displacement and
demoralization of labor and capital at the
North and consequent change in value of
real estate and manufacturing interests,
have wrought great changes there. But
over end beyond all these the great factor
in bringing these “hard times” ha* been
the conduct of the United States Govern
ment since April, 1865. At that time
tbe Government was a debtor to an
enormous amount. This debt, nearly
equally divided, she owed to her own
people—one in greenback#, and the bal
ance in bonds—to her own people
and to foreigners. In 1865 greenbacks
and bonds were shout on a par. Gold
wa3 quoted at 1.45. The bonds had been
issued to retire the first issues of green-
t acks, and most of them had not brought
the government sixty cents in gold. Had
the government in April, 1865, publish
ed an order that greenbacks would be re
ceived at 1.45 instead of gold at tbe
United States custom houses until No
vember, 1865, and then and until June,
1866, at 1.40; in November, 1866, at 1.35,
and at April, 1867, at 1.30, and eo on,
until it reached par with gold, then there
would have been no trouble.
BUT THE GOVERNMENT REPUDIATES ITS
GREENBACKS,
practically, by refusing to take them at
all, and thereby made possible the ter
rific Beenes of the gold room—inaugurated
at once all kinds of speculations based
upon what it wonld or would not do a3 to
buying and selling gold. This conduct
and the subsequent legislation by which
the bonds and coupons were made
payable in gold — thereby paying
the capitalist a gold dollar for his
debt, and the bolders ef the greenbacks,
having no government recognition of its
real value, lost confidenoe in it and the
Government that issaed it. and this grad
ually extended ifrom the Government to
the people; and feeling that they dealt
with an inflated and irredeemable onrren-
oy, all kinda of business assnmed a false
and speculative feature, until the panio
of 1873 came, and, like everything else
which has no firm and Btable basis, these
speculations, as bubbles will, burated,
and left those who trusted in them to
weep. Since then business oE all kinds
haa been going throngh the refining prc»
oess. We have, it is hoped, at last
reached firm rook at the bottom. But
the getting there has been painfnl and
disastrous. The greenbacks issued un
der the pressure of war should
be gradually funded in the
new bonds. They were an irredeemable
ourrency, and authorized only nnder the
idea of necessity. There should be issued
another and a better carrenoy.

shonid, as Mr. Stephens suggests, be
issued, founded on gold and silver, de
posited and assayed at tbe xnintB. These
will be harbingers of peace and prosperity;
these with the national bank bills and the
Greenbacks remaining in circulation will
relieve the instant wants of the people.
The duty of Congress is to act[upon these
measures at once. The towns, cities acd
counties of the South an^ West should
hold meetings and instruct tbeir repre
sentatives not to adjourn until this end
is reached. The jury and election law
is Lou-important compared with them.
Still they are desirable changes, and our
people heartily endorse the action of our
representatives in Congress as to them.
