Tmb Philadelphia Press insist^ that
Western and 8ontbern Democrats aro in
favor of having tha State bank iasnea
snbslitntad for national bink notes and
greenbacks.. Wo have yak to discover,
says the Caurisr-Jaurua.'., that any con-
siderabla number of people In the sections
referred to want any such thing.
Dbath or Oovrraoit VAX's's Wire.—
hire. Harriett Newell Vanoe, wife of
Governor 7.. D. Vance, ofNorlh Carolina,
died in Raleigh, on Snnday afternoon
last, after a long illness. She was the
daughter of Rev. Mr. Epty, a Presby
terian minister, and waa a lady of decided
ly strong character and great piety.
Mb. ItmnaLD of tho Cincinnati Cons.
mtreial, who ha* kept doso track of
South Carolina politics, writes from Col
umbia that ‘‘there is a sensible diminu
tion of bitterness between the races.
Tha contrast 1* ao great, whon I remem
ber the campaign here two yean ago,
that I cannot write without mentioning
It again and again.”
A Ilcua Weddiuo Cake.—A Dublin
ooofsetlouer has just produced the largest
wedding cako over made in tho Emerald
(tie. It waa for tbe breakfast oo the oc
casion of tho marriaga of Miss. Roo with
Lord Granville Gordon. Tho cako i.lncde
eight feet high, weighs three hundred
pounds, and Is ornamented with the arms
of tbe Hoe and Gordon families. Six
hannarele with nrma and monograms add
to the imposing eharaoter of the atrno-
tore, which la atrewn with orango bios-
soma and myrtle.
At Memphia, aa at New Orleans, thero
is complaint ovor tho disposition of tho
relief funds, and tho itolmde charges
soting Msyor Goodyear with having
declined to use *00,033 sent him Ifrom
all parU of tho world to relieve tho fever
sufferers, which is and has been kopt on
deposit. Tbe Memphis Howards entered
this cpidcmia with $40,000 left over from
tbe charities of 1873, and it it proposed
that thoy uss whatever surplus there is
tbie year in preventing another ecoarge,
by a thorough sanitary overhauling of
tbe city, and especially by picking oiit
and inatrncting a hand of oho hundred
and fifty nurses for future need, asitia
conceded that more have died In the
recent visitation from poor nursing than
from any other cause.
A Cuuboii Objecting to Non-Taxa
tion.—It is a rare thing to find anybody
who ie exempted from a tax complaining
of the tact, bat the Michigan Conference
of Unitarian churches haa resolved “that,
whereas tbe fundamental principles of
this government are basod upon absolute
separation of chareh and Stato, and the
exemption of chnrehee from taxation is
sn infringement of this principle, there
fore it does earnettly protest against this
species of injustice which compels the
indirect [taxation of many of our cltiaepa
to support forms of worship in which
they do not believe, and which demora
lises tho cithical standard of the churches
themselves, making them dependents
upon tbe Stats, rather than inferior yet
independent factors of it"
Halt-Started CnnisTiANS.—ThoEvan-
salist Moody, borsting Christians in Bal
timore who are nearly half starved—liv
ing on too Utils oapital, said tho other
day:
"Von never could ask tho Lord too
uinch graoe. Ho would glvo more all tho
time if yon made good use oMt. If a
man were to say, “Mr. Moody, I have
pat $1,000,000 in one of the banks of tho
olty lo your credit,” and I should go and
draw out a dollar a week and live on that
wouldn't yon call me a a close, miserly
man? And yet while there is grace in
abnndanoc, which can bo bad for tho ask
ing, there mo plenty or Christians who
are living as miserly aa thenian who drew
a dollar n week from tho bank in which
be had a million.”
The Next Senate.—Tho United States
Srunte, eaye tho Herald, consists now of
thirty-nine Reputilicsns, thirty-six Dem
ocrats and one independent, David Davis,
of Illinois. This mates a total of seven
ty-ail Senators. Three Republicans—
Senators Sargent, Mitchell and Matthews
—have already soon Democratic succes B
sore elected. Senators Dorsey, Spencer,
Conover and y’atterscu will also certain
ly bo succeeded by Democrats; and those
changes, if none others occurred, would
leave tho next Senate with thirty-two
Republican,-, forty-three Democrats and
one independent.
Connecticut haa elected a Republican
Legislature, which gives a Republican in
place of Senator Iiarnum; Pennsylvania
has gone Republican, which means that
Senator Don Cameron will be re-elected.
No other change) are probable, and the
next Senate should therefore stand r
Democrats, 42; Republicans, 33, and
independent, 1.
Tub Russian i.olcj frequently fells
under the ban of tho government, but is
too ably conducted to bo permanently
fcuspoudtd. Nereis anut which English-
men will find it hard to crack: ‘By ctr
taring on a secret compact with Turkey
at the very moment whan thegEastern
question was being solved by all Europo
at Berlin, tho English Government has
conferred a correiponding right upon all
other I’owvrs de-irous of forming special
lies with the Port?. If Ragland is enti
tled to acquire a permanent right to inter
fere in the domestic affairs of tbe Porte,
wry attempt to tie the hands of tha other
Power* is simply ridiculous. England
can have no exclusive right to eign pipers
with Tu:key.‘ What reply can be made
to the (sola,? Disgruntlad Fall Mali
d»od-a off-neod that there is [very little
to be said. ‘What we complain o?,’ it
remarks with fine irony, ‘is, however,
not that a oompaot waa made with Tur
key. bat thet in so conferring a corres
ponding right on all the Powers our
government did nothing in the world for
tha good of their own eoastry,’
reviewing tbe fioeooiel outlook, after the
eleclion, pate the following as the finzn-
aial questions which come up next in or
der for settlement:
I. Whet shall be the quality of our
money ? Ii it to be exclusively metallic,
or partly metalie and partly o: paper, or
exc'oiively of paper? It of paper in
whole or In part, shall Ihst paper repre
sent gold absolutely or silver absolutely,
dollar for dollar, end that in ooin always
producible on demsnd?
2 What authority shall coin or cre
ate and iisue this money ? If it is to be
metallic money the constitution bis an
swered the inqnriy. But how if it is
to be of paper, in whole or in part ? Is
the Federal government still to be a hack
issuing paper, either directly, as with
the greenbacks or indirectly' as with
the national bank notea ? And if not,
then .-hall w.; go bzok to the fi bants
of the ante helium period, and repealthe
laws now on the books which tax such
State institutions out of all hope of res
urrection.
3. Whether the money be metallic or
of paper or a mixed money; whether it
be a specie currency, cr a credit currency
baaed on coin, cr a credit currency bused
on nothing visible and producible at all,
what shall be ita volume or what the
mber of ita units? Shall the quantity
tie of five or of eeven or of fourteen hun
dred millions?
All thcao inquiries are matter for seri
ous and general consideration and for
Intelligent legislative discussion. And
the problem will not be satisfactorily
irlred cither by a a ritualistic kneeling
down before Mr. Sberman’a two-faced
resumption law. or by mero parrot-like
denunciations either of gold money or of
silver money or of fiat paper money.
Ves, tbeso are tho qoosllons bound to
oomo up next in order; and it is solely in
their direot or incidental oonnection with,
or bearing npon, tbe Bcheme of a curren
cy mado up of the issnes of locsl hanks
that tho Greenbaok and National Bank
discassloDB have seemed to us worthy of
eerioni attention.
Bot when wo oomo to disonss tho revival
of looal banks of issue we bring forward
a topio of snob vast moment that all oth
er financial propositions aro as nothing
compared with it. Tbeso basks all perish
ed in the cartbqnsko of civil war, wbiob
engulpsd private aud public credit In one
common rain. .Nothing short of this
great calamity conld have swept them
away and left a dear and open field for a
paper onrroncy nblo I o sustain any general
stock of credit.
Once give them a new legal foothold,
and we may be euro that, belter or wono,
thoy aro .fastened on tho country forev
er; and though they may fail and fall in
endless aticcesiion,the country will never
again have anything better or moro reli
able in tho way of a general circulation
than local bank notes.
Wo may insist by law on keeping
$300,000,000 of trreenbocks in circula
tion, but, in point of fact, they will
bo locked up in tho vaults of tho lo
cal banka as part of a redemption fund.
Tho bills of tho national banks will, in
all probability, take tho same direction.
In a very short time after the first local
bank of issue is established, nothing else
hut their paper will bo found floating on
tho current of general trade. Thero aro
thirty-eight States to create local banks,
and thousands of business communities
to demand their creation. They will
spring into existence by htmdreds every
year, and the questions of inflation mid
volume of currency will be determined
by tho wants of a vast army o! bank di
rectors and borrowers. If tho old plan of
three dollars of notes to one of redemp
tion basis be adhered lo, onr three hun
dred millions of national treasury notes
might well ba. converted into nine hun
dred million of local bank notes in a few
months, and in a tow months more disap
pear in the shape of suspended bank pa-

The writer returned from Atlanta last
night nnd found, as ho anticipated, that
the ndvanoo oopy of tho Governor’s meS'
sage, which was pnntod on Fridsy, left
no room for hia Thursday’s oommnnlca-

Saturday. The Friday letter, therefore,
is necessarily postponed nntil to-day, and
the notes of Saturday intended for Sun
day reading, must lie over until our Taos
day’s issue. Bat tho news will keep, the

TUB GEORGIA PRESS,
Send Him Back!—Some months since
wo dipped the following from the Thom-
aston Herald with (he intention of repro
ducing it in this colmnn. Bat it went
astray somehow, and has only recently
tnrned up. We now present it with the
unqualified endorsement of the Tu.k-
ouirn and Mkssf.sjku, and we aro sura
with that of nine-tenths of the people of
Georgia:
Tho Legulatnre, at Us next session,
will have to determine a question which
the whole South is scarcely less interested
than Georgia herself. It must decide
whether General J. B. Gordon shall con
tinue to bold the office of United States
Senator or not. He has won a'national
reputation for courage, sagacity aud un
selfish patriotism, and wo do say from tho
bottom of onr heart, send him back !
To bis nothing efforts and hard won
influence, Louisiana and South Carolina,
in a great part, owe thair relief from a
degrading rnla and from Federal shackles
aud wo feel that the whole South owes a
heavy debt to Upson’s son and Georgia’s
noble Senator. We say Upson’s son be
cause ha wan born in this oonnty and
spent tbe early years of his life here, and
say Georgia’s noble Senator because he
IS ALL THAT IS NOBLE.
Morally and mentally, as 'well as phys
ically, this grand old battle scarred hero
stand a towering figure in our Congreas
nnd wx must send iiim back! In cool
ness and judgment he has few equals npon
that floor. Ia the stainless purity of hia
private ana public life he stands among
them all upon a plain where not one in
that august assembly can look above
him.
He has dircharjed every duty resting
upon him with scrupulons fidelity and
conspicuous ability, and now should he
be superceded by an untried man ? We
think not, and when the time comes we
hope and trust that our legislature will
not hesitate in returning one who has
never yet in any walk of life failed to
reflect upon Georgia a fadeless lustre.
The voice ot every true beartad Georgian
ciies out: Send him back2
Tbe most sensible utterance we haTe
seen in a Fourth District'newspapcr is this
from the Columbus Tones, a supporter
-Of Persons.
“We hope that no supporter of Capt.
Persons will forget, in the exultation
over his signal victory, that it hssl>een
won over a worthy Democratic compe
titor, and that very many good Demo
crats have been defeated with him. We
bad a family quarrel on band, and hav
ing Bellied that, it now behcoves ns to
address ourselves to the werk of pacifica
tion, not of exasperation. We are con
fident that we have elecred a Congress
man who will honorably represent the
District, aud having done this, we can
well afford to forget and forgive every
thing irritating that has occurred and
take tbe lead in healing tbe divisions
that have existed.”
Ax Atlanta special to the Augusta
Afi'.-x says it is rumored “that Lester
and Arnold will contest the election of
FeltontrodHammond.”. Bosh.
The Constitution, of Friday, says:
The State Military Board met yester
day at the Capitol, with Colonel Clifford
W, Anderson, President, in the chair.
Thefnil board was found to be present
upon a call of the roll. Tbe board trans
acted nearly the whole of the bnameaa
for which it has been called together.
The work will be continued and proba
bly finished to-day. A report will be pre
sented the Legislature, and the body will
adjourn.
The same paper well says:
The message of Governor Colquitt gives
due emphasis to tbe fact ot Georgia’s
solvency. Since 1870, a crowd of Wall
street harpies, in the pay or under the
influence of Henry Claws & Co., have
been making strenuous efforts to inj are
the credit of tho State. How well tbey
have succeeded, a glance at the stock and
bond qnotationa of any New York paper
will show. Instead of depreciating in
tho face of the light that was made
against them, Georgia State securities
have steadily increased in valne until
now tbey are the moat valuable in the
market. This fact should be a lesson to
such men os pretend to be able to control
thu negotiation of State bonds on Wall
street. From 1863 to 1870, Clew3 had
his victory; to-day Georgia haB hers, and
it is a substantial one.
We entirely agree with the Constitution
in tho following:
Tbe re-election of Mr. Lester to tbe
Presidency and Mr. Bacon to the Speak
ership, without opposition, was a hand
some compliment to two of Georgia’s
coming men. It is doubtful if any other
two men could have been selected that
would have won these distinguished hon
ors without serious struggle. It is cer
tain that two better officers who would
reflect more credit on the position, of
better administer the law and customs,
could not be found.
The Constitution thinks that if "all tho
predictions are correct, Dr. Felton will be
an independent candidate for Governor
of Georgia at tho next election. This
will probably bring him in conflict witlr
General Toombs, who is also supposed to
be desirous of serving his people as their
chief magistrate.”
The Cherokee railway, including its
road-bed, franchise,track, appurtenancies
and right-of-way, was again put up at
public sale on Tuesday, at tho court houso
door in Cartersville, and was knocked
down for $20,500, Mr. Jesse K. Wikio
being tho bidder.
The Roundtree plantation near Perrv
waa sold lost Tuesday for $C 000, cash.
An Assassin's Work at Augusta.—
We quoto the following from tho Chroni
cle and Constitutionalist of Friday:
A deed was perpetrated in front of the
Planters’ Hotel yesterday qjmost nnsur-
pasted in thisbection for coldblooded de
liberation and determination to kill. Tno
victim wob Joseph Gaiffrida, barber at
tho Planters' Hotel, and attacking party
Antonio Pimonti, lately in his employ.
Both aro Italians. Mr. Gaiffrida wagon
his way from his residence cn Broad
street, above Marbury, to hiB ebop, and
had reached tbe front of the hotel, when
suddenly, without any warning, Pimonti
sprang upon him from one of the door re
cesses like a wild Indian, a glittering
hatchet with the edge sharpened to razor-
lito keenness, in his right hand. In an in
atant tho terrible weapon descended with
resistless force upon the bock of Mr.
Gniffrida'a neck, cuttings fearful gash.
The bright red blood gashed forth and
sprinkled pavement and building. But
the enraged Italian was not satiated.
Again tha weapon waa raised and again
it descended. Instinctively Gaiffrida
throw his hand to hia neck alter the first
blow, and this involuntary action
doubtless saved his life. The sharp
hatchet cut through two of the fingers of
the left hand, entirely severing one of
them and leaving the other banging by a
mere shred, so that it bad to ba taken off
afterwards. So determined was the blow
th it 11 gold ring which Quiffrida wore was
cleft in twain. The severed finger stuck
in the gaping wound ia the neck. As
soon aa tho second blow waa strnck, Pi
monti started off at a slow trot, went
around tbe cornorof the hotel, and thence
towards tho city bridge. As ho passed
along the pavement, Mr. Goodwin,the
steward, attempted to stop him, bat Pi
monti, drawing a sharp knife, said, with
murder in his eyes' “You stop me, me
kill you.” Mr. Goodwin considered it
prudent after this to givo Pimonti a wide
berth. With his ensanguined hatchet in
his coat pocket, the latter kept on toward
the bridge, intending to cross into South
Carolina. Bnt a messenger on horseback
bad been sent ahead, and when ho reached
tho bridge, ho was confronted by Mr. B.
B. Russell, Jr, who ordered him to stop.
Pimonti at once showed fight, but Mr.
pistol, and he sur-
l bit eagies are getting to be quite com
mon in Colqnitt and Worth counties,
where thero are large quantities of
sheep.

fined in tbe infernal regions. Heaven
knows we suffered sufficiently from the
sword and torch of cur eruel enemy, tut
the horrors of the Radical rulo that suc
ceeded, thetyrenny of the “best govern
ment the world ever saw” and tho fear
ful decline in morals which was the out-
birth of each a condition of affairs, have
affected the country.even more seriously
than the ballets aud cannon of tbe Yan
kees.
CRIME AND PECULATION
have become so common under the nurs
ing of the late bankrupt and homestead
acta and the Grant and Bullock regime,
that a general diitiuu of everybody ob
tains, and not tven tbe great and pure
President elect of tho United States, Mr.
Tilden, or the Christian Governor and
hero who occupies the Executive chair in
our own proud commonwealth have es>
caped.
Aud yet, when is there a nobler Roman
or better man than Samuel Tilden, and
what State can boast of a chief magis
trate who is the superior of General Col
quitt in sterling integrity, piety and ex
alted worth? The man's open and bo-
signant face ought to be a sufficient
passport to him to the world’s end. Bat
the special message whioh waa laid before
your readers to-day, show that the
SCOBPION TONQUE OV CALUHNT
has dared even to assail the noble chief
the [people know and iovo so well. Ia
that communication which throws down
the gauntlet of defiance to his enemies,
the Governor characterizes the attack
npon him as ‘‘an awful and stupendous
slander, forged and uttered to dishonor
me.”
It was, indeed, a cruel onslaught, and
utteily and wholly destitute of every
veetigoof truth.
WHAT THE 0UAB0E3 ARK.
The insinuations, to far as we can
learn, (for there are no positive allega
tions.) consist in an attempt to show
that the Governor was bribed to Bign the
bonds of the Northeastern Railroad.
Tho pnblio will remember, however, that
the Legislature made a special exception
of this road in its just aud sweeping in
terdict of all farther State aid. Tho
company had more than complied with
the terms of their contract, but starting
to build at each end did not then have
the requisite number of miles completed
in a single stretch, albeit out of their own
resources they had really built forty miles,
commencing at the two termini. A com
mittee was raised to visit tho road and
ascertain if this wa3 indeed the fact, and
if shown to be so, tho Governor was au
thorized and iuBtiucted to eign tho bonds
for $6,500 per mile. So much opposed
is he, however, to encumbering the Stale
with such obligations, that he delayed
the signing of these bonds almost to the
last moment, in the hop6 that the matter
might be remanded back again to the
Legislature.
It was not until two weeks of the day
when tho executions were to ba issued,aud
THE ROAD OITKBKD FOR SALK,'
that tne Governor, to save the property,
Russell presented
rendered. He was turned over to the po-
ILv, who lodged him in jail.
Dick Chapman, a negro convict, had
his back pretty well filled with bnckshot
Saturday of last week by a guard named
Frank Bragg. Tho negro waa working
in the chain-gang of Captain T. Lingo,
cf Wilkinson county,
Mr-J. ('.Fargo, of Augu,ta, cashier of
the Commercial Bank of that city; died
last Friday. The death of Mr. Silas J.
Cary, long connected with Augnsta
journalism, is also announced
The Cathbert Appeal is reliably in
formed “by a gentleman who is in a po-
sitien to know, that the Brunswick and
Albany Railroad had passed into the
hands of a foreign company, and that
work would begin on it within sixty days,
when it would be pushed forward rapidly
to Euf aula. We hope this is true. Onr
informant is confident this rood will be
completed to Cathbert in ample time to
move the next crop.”
A firk at Columbus Friday morning
burned the residence of Mr. John T.
Pearce, Sr., together with moat of the
contents. Loss about $4,000, and no in-
surance. 'j,
The champion two-legged hog lives in
Walton connty and his name is Luther
Williams, a half grown negro. One
night last week he gobbled up at one
sitting twelve one-pound cans of cove
oysters, and crackers in proportion. No
account was kept of the crackers eaten,
bnt there must have been not 1-es than
three pounds, making in all fifteen
pounds of food at one sitting. The feat
was witnessed by several reliable gentle
man, and is absolutely and entirely true.
When asked if he experienced no incon
venience. he replied: ‘No, sir. I only
wanted some more. I can eat twenty
boxes.”
Tab Quitman Reporter says: Mr. W.
W. Joyce, who lives in tbe Morven neigh
borhood, northeastern portion of Uiis
(Brooks) county, informs a* that he
killed an eagle last week that measured
■even feet and seven inches from tip to
tip, it being the smallest of a pair that
have been frequently seen In that neigh
borhood. He bae promised to bring us
one ot Us elawi. We hare been informed
after first fortifying bimBelf with tho
legal opinions of as uhlo counsel as the
State contained, consented to use tho
power conferred upon him and signed the
bonds.
Now, however, it is intimated that he
shared with Mr. W. Morphy, tho clerk
of Treasurer Renfroe, a feo of $8,000
whioh was paid that individual by W. C.
Morrill, Esq., the President of the Roll
ing Mill here, for traveling over the State
and obtaining all the opinions of the
lawyers, members of tho Legislature,
railroad officials and “all other parties
conversant with the facta.” In short be
was msdo the managing agent to work np
tbo case, and in the event that tbe evi
dence that the road had complied in full
with its requirements under the law conld
induce tho Governor to sign the bonds as
ho was empowered to do,then ho (Mnrpby)
was to receive his foe. This was a legiti
mate business transaction between Mor
rill and Murphy. Bat, murk the follow
ing facts:
GOVERNOR COLQUITT EMPHATICALLY DE
NIES
that be know anything nbont this arrange
ment with Mr. Morphy, or that ho was
tbo feed moms! of any body, or bad re
ceived a cent of money from any sonroe
for his services in behalf of tbe road and
Mr. Morrill. In short, be bad nothing
whatever lo do with tbe transaotiou. Mur
phy also corroborates tbe above state
ment in the most solemn manner, and
in a formal card published under hia uwn
signature in tbe Constitution, on the 28th
of Ootober, sajs: “I am not the Govern
or's Secretary. I do not hold my position
under him now, and never have. The
basiuess transaction referred to was, on
my pari, a proper and legitimate one, and
it is absolutely false {italics oars) that
Governor Colqnitt had any connection
with it openly or secretly, directly or indi
rectly,”
What ampler vindication conld thero
be of ^he Governor's complication with
Mr.'Miurphy’a dealings with the President
of the Rolling Mill?
Moreover, Mr. Morrill told the writer
it was simply a business matter between
Mnrpby and himself, with which the Gov
ernor had no oonneotiou whatever. As to
tha Governor's discharging Mr. Mnrpby,
there were two reasons forbidding suoh a
procedure. Ono was that he held his
position nnder the Treasurer, who Is an
oilioer wholly independent of the Execu
tive, and haa tbe right to name and con
trol hiB own employes. Tbe other, that
no ovidences or fraudulent dealing bad
been offered against Mr. Mnrpby in the
premises.
The above contains all the facts of the
case in a nut shell, and our excellent
chief magistrate who justly denounces
the attempt to stab his fair character
and tarnish the bright escutcheon of the
State, will be folly and entirely exonera
ted.
The Governor's righteous soul is etirred
within him, and despite hia peace pro
clivities and high position it would not
be safe for anyone in person to insult
him by endorsing the base insinuations
that have been put in circulation against
him. We have dealt thus fully with this
matter, for it is the duty of the press to
protect the innocent, aud tho Governor

HOUSE CF REPRESENTATIVES, 1, P. M,
This body is already fairly at work
and bills and resolutions are multiplying
like locusts. Some of them of course aro
good, others utopian and a few impracti
cable and perhaps even mischievous.
Thu morning, the committee of con
ference with the Senate committee' on
the Governor’s private message, with
power to send for persons aud papers, has
been named and will begin its duties
forthwith.
A member also has introduced a reso
lution protesting against the proposed
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS
in' January. Referred to tha proper
committee.
Mr. Rankin, of Gordon, a bill prescrib
ing the tariff of freights upon all the
railroads of tbe State and making them
uniform for all distanced: In the same,
provision is made for the appointment of
a board of visitors to jonrney around
from time to time and see that these ratea
are duly enforced. The penalty for. all
infractions of this law is flxed at from
one thousand to twenty-five thousand
dollars, proportioned according to the
number of violations. This is the most
wholesale and outrageous subversion of
PRIVATE RIGHTS
that we ever remember to hive seen.
Why not at once regulate the prioa of
one’s newspaper subscription, or say how
mach should be paid for the osat or hat
yon wear ? Any snob foolish attempt at
reform in the management of onr roads
would meet with deserved defeat and re
probation, and really set back the aanse
Intended to be advacoed. What conld be
more radleal or un joat to the, large class
of the community who are inolnded in
tbe stockholders of these roads ?
Quite a number of bill* also have been
introdnoed, fixing aibitrartly tue rate of
interest
AT f EVEN PER CENT.
This ia another solicism, and palpable
invasion of tbe plainest precepts of po
litical economy. When wilt people learn
that money is worth just what it will

Dallu (Texas) Intelligeucer.l
Mr. Samnel Myers ia now lying bed
fast at his home in this place, sIHieted
with that terrible malady, the screw
worm. Mr. Myers has been siok of late
with fever, and on Monday last, while
resting in his bed, one of the flies slight
ed near his nostrils. It requires bnt a few
moments for one of these flies to deposit
otfrsr
premium for fraul, enhance the difficulty
cf obtaining pecuniary accommodation
when really needed, and prove powerful
disturbing agencies to the commerce and
trade of the country.
FEWER JUDICIAL CIRCUITS
Many think ttat the special committee
appointed to ascertain the propriety of
reducing to sixteen the number of judicial
circuits in tho State, will" recommend
that reduction. We doubt it very much
There are too many candidates and on!
aiders interested to allow of the passage
of such a bill. Besides, it would really
appear fromthu immense unfinished dock
ets in nearly ailtbecourts thatthe judges
are none too many to fulfill the cuds of
law and justice.

A private letter from an intimate

that for some mouths pa3t Mrs. Davis
has been seriously ill, and that Mr. Davis
has himself been fearfully prostrated by
anxiety and care for his beloved wire. To
add to their distress, while Mrs. Davis
was convalescing, nows came that their
son, Jefferson Davis, Jr., had fallen ill
with the fever in Memphis. Mrs. Davis
was again taken violently ill and nar
rowly c scaped death,though convalescing.
Mr. Davis, overwhelmed by the loss of
his only remaining eon, and the illness
and danger of his wife, is still much
prostrated.
Mound Advice.
Charleston Newa anil Courier)
The Greenback-Labor developed little
strength at tho polls on Tuesday. Itia
now a foregone conclusion that specie
payments will be resumed on New Year’s
day, and tho Democracy will find it to
their advantage to bow to the demands of
the nation and cease ooqnetting with the
promoters ot fiat money and general
worthlessness. The Democratic party
cannot go over into the Greenback camp.
Such States aa New York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey give warning that even
an intermediate, on-the-fence position
cannot be countenanced, and'the farther
the Democracy go towards inflation of
any sort, the worse they must fare.
We Second the notion.

They are debating at Washington

Et-ems to turn on political considerations,
which are really irrelevant. The ques

thetic point of riew and by tbo light of

Think Heaven, we have rest certainly
for a time from tho awful greenback
subject. Wo trnst we are at the end of
it altogether. We should by ail means
be spared from any farther discussion of
the most absurd and most vif ionary finan
cial idea that ever entered the brain of
man. It has been exploded through all
the centnries of historic age, and it has
been the anpremest folly to reproduce it
now just as tbe financial system of the
nation is becoming settled and eolid. We
think the party that brought it forward,
whoea leaders were actuated by selfish
motives, and not at all by sincere pnblic
devotion, have met anch defeats that
they will hardly venture to prolong the
fifcht.

Bad lor Boys.
Detroit Freo Press)
A rat of a boy who bad in vain searched
the Post-office corridors for the niokel
which a oarelsas hand occasionally drops
at the stamp clerk’s window, yesterday
took his position before a ohestnnt stand
on Griswold street and eyed the fresh
nuts a long time before drawing a deep
sigh and groaning:
“Oh, I wish I was rich 1”
The ohestnui-roaster made no reply,
and tlie odor of tho rosttiug un!* finally
indaaed the boy to inquire :
“Are ohestnuts healthy?”
“No, bub—they are prolifloof indiges
tion,” was the reply.
After a while tho boy thought it was
time to remark:
“Did you ever hear of the story of tho
man who gptvo a poor boy a handful of
chestnuts, and when tho boy grew up and
got .rich ho rewarded the old man with
a diamond pin and a four-horse team?”
“No, never did, bnt I heard of tho mnn
who brought a poor boy to the edge of the
grave by giving him a dozen chestnuts.”
The boy took a turn up and down, re-
cured another strong snuff of the pleas
ant odor, and then leaned over and
whispered:
“If I’ll take the chances on the edge
of tbe grave l iulncss will yon take the
chancia on the chestnuts r”
The vender finally thought he would.
