bers of the National Board ofTradc, among
whom were Mi'ssrs. Hopes and Hill, of
Barton: Mr. Siranahan, of Brooklyn; Mr.
Parley, of Philadelphia, and Congressmen
Iliscork ami McCook, of New York. Sen
ator Ilill. of Ceorgia. was also present
especially to ni-et the gentlemen of tho
Board of Trade, who had expressed a
great desire to meet and converse with
him. During the course of the evening
allusions were made to the financial situa
tion. and those present expressed them
selves fully on the sulyect. Senator Ilill
was attentively listened to in all he said,
lit* sound advocacy of honest and consti-
tutional money scented for him the ad

To use tbr language of the dinner party,
everybody seemed charmed with the Geor

hnmediately left for the camp of tlie
White Kiver Utes to hurry up tlieir move

patch. one of the twelve designated by us
aa Douglas had been brought in, bat we
imtnMted Ouray to keep him and the
Others until the full number was ready to
be delivered. Before I left I understood
that a few others were at his house^but
not all. which was hardly to bq Expected,
as only five days had elapsed, with the
snow very deep, traveling slow and the
Indians much scattered. I consider the
surrender an accomplished fact, andean-
net drink of the possibility that it can be
prevented, although Gen. natch may be
delayed in bringing them out. as the snow

that $67,903 had been expended in the
weak of strengthening the foundation,
leaving available $52,006 of the appropria
tion for that purpose. They have expen
ded S3R331 upon the completion of the
monument, leaving $0S,&10 available of
the appropriation for that purpose. The
total amount unexpended of the appropria

October 31, 1881, will require $300,000
additional and to complete. the shaft to

A Grave Question.
Somewhere between five-sixths, atul
nc-tcuths of the actual currency of the
nit' I (staic.i ' ■ alvriiys be paper. ,,Tbe
great question underlying all these cur
rency movements In Congress is, there
fore. simply this: Who shall supply this
paper currency? Who shall multiply in
definitely these representatives of value,
and under what guarantee* are they to be
issued and find circulation? It is a very
grave question. It involves many millions
of profits to tlie speculative classes, and all
history Is a lie if it does not involve ques
tions of millions of loss to the great body
of tlie American people—that great mass
who must draw their subsistence from
daily labor of Iiead or hands. No one,
tliercfore, should be surprised to see the
persistence with which this currency
question Is enforced on Congress and the
excitement which attends its discussion.
The advocates of a bank paper currency
are most ingenious in placing themselves
ami their opponents in precisely tlie posi
tion which neither is entitled to occupy.
In the first place, they claim to be “hard
money men” when they are really local
hank paper men—lor all their schemes re
solve themselves into a currency composed
of local bank paper. But they say this
liank paper is redeemable in gold and sil
ver on demand. It is so printed on the
hills, and is, in point of fact, so redeema
ble—alien it is to redeemable. But one
thing everybody knows who is old enough
to remember twenty years—that the prac
tical effect of such a currency is to banish
hard money from circulation.
Next they plead that all Democratic
precedent is in their favor—that the Dem
ocratic party has always been a hard
money party, Yes, but it was in opposi
tion to these very banking institutions
that Jackson, Benton and the old hard
money Democrats put the party on
liard money basis. They were for hard
money as against ail bank bills, which the
experience of that time had shown to he
untrustworthy. No one now contends
for a purely metalic currency; but the
next approach to it is a paper currency
bearing the most indubitable guaranties
of value, anil the least liable to perish in
the hands of holders.
They style their opponents inflationists,-
but if any contrivance for inflation can be
invented equal to the creation of thou
sands of local banks, scattering their due
bills ad libit urn over the face of the coun
try, we never have heard or conceived of
one. Its fatal activity in inflation and
explosion, have been the financial history
of America for the past hundred years.
And now tlie question is, what kind of
a paper currency are we to have in the
future? AVe arc about, it seems, to make
a new dejiartiire. Tlie Constitution, it is
said, is violated by making United States
Treasury notes a legal tender. There is
no such warrant in that instrument. Tlie
hank men are tender of the constitution,
except wlieu it strongly prohibits tlie
.Status from issuing “bills of "credit,” and
tlicn they attach no meaning to it. But
our reading is vain if that prohibition did
not confine the whole business of furnish
ing whatever should circulate as money to
the Federal Government alone. AVhat
jelse did or coulil it mean? Accordingly,
the paper now ill circulation, being either
the direct obligations of tlie govenunent
or issued under its sanction as trustee for
tlie people, is undoubted. Countless mil
lions would have been saved to the
masses liad this provision been enforced.
But there tlie prohibition still stands
and tliere are tlie contemporaneous argu
ments in the Federalist, showing what
losses had occurred and might occur to
the people, and what misunderstandings
might arise with foreigu governments, if
this power of issuing paper liabilities re
mained with the States. The constitution
in any just interpretation thereof as we
believe forbids tlie issue of any of tlie
whole tribe of paper liabilities.
But whether it docs or not the impor
tance to the people of a thoroughly relia
ble currency caunot be overstated. Our
paper currency, as it now stands, is better
than any we ever had, aud a departure in
to the field of speculative banking will be
woeful change for the worse, unless
some scheme can lie elaborated to make it
a groat deal better than it ever has been.

More Trouble in Ireland.
Cablegrams from London, received as
late as the loth instant report increased
excitement among tlie people on account
of rent difficulties and tlie terrible
scarcity of food that prevails. Occasion
ally acts of violence occur. Thus on
Saturday in the porch of the Limerick
county Club House Lord Fermoy was
felled senseless to the pavement by a blow-
struck with a cudgel in tlie hands of an
evicted tenant. Tlie assailant was arrest
ed. Another dispatch says:
Messrs. Davitt, Daly and Killcn left
Carrick-on-Shannon to-day for Dublin.
They were accompanied to the railway
station by a large crowd, and a band
ring Irish airs. The attorney-general
arrived at Carrick-on-Shannon last” night,
and was escorted to his lodgings by twenty
armed policemen.
One, Mr.Killen, and probably the others
of the three prisoners, liad refused previ
ously to accept the bail offered them.
Things must be pretty squally over there
wlien the highest counsellor of the gov
enunent requires a body guard when in
attendance upon his duties. Now is the
time for England to show her liberality
and generosity to the suffering Irish by
large concessions and substantial aid for
their material wants. This would have a
more tranquilizing effect than the largest
standing anny.
An Attempted Fraud.
We learn from the Constitution that a
man by tlie name of L. P. Lery, of 68
Broadway, New York, is advertising for
sale a large number of the State of Geor
gia bonds at fifty cents. This is an open
attempt to revive and put upon the mar
ket the old bonds issued during the Radi
cal administration of the State govern
ment, and repudiated by the present Con
stitution. There are no bonds of the State
worth less than 107 to-day.
The advertisement which places these
bonds upon the market, states that they
will be sold at fifty, and that past due
coup-ms, from 1S74, go with the sale. Any
one who can read, most lie aware that
Georgia is not in arrears with the interest
upon lier bonded debt, and money invest
ed in these securities might as well be
cast to the winds, with tlie expectation
that the whirlwind will return it multi
plied fourfold. The advertisement also
offers bonds of the city of Atlanta, which
are pronounced by the press of that city,
as worthless.
Necbo Exodus to Kansas.—A St.
Louis dispatch of Thursday says the ne
gro exodus from Texas to Kansas con
tinues. A considerable number of colored
people pass through Dallas daily, bound
to that State. On the other hand, quite a
number have returned, stating that they
have been deceived concerning Kansas.
Brunswick, Middle and South Georgia
cannot afford to remain qnict and see this
important outlet to the ocean pass out of
tlieir reach and perhaps even into the
hands of mimical parties. In any event,
liowever, tlie moral effect of the conven
tion and its deliberations must be saluta
ry in the premises. In this connection we
invite attention also to a call for a meet
ing of the citizens of Jones county to se
lect delegates to the convention, and our
advices are that the people on the line of
the road and its proposed" extension to
Covington and Atlanta are fully aroused
likewise to the importance of being prop
erly represented In that body.
AVe learn that the convention, on the
30th inst., will also assemble in the City
Hall, which is placed at their disposal.
The Proposed Repeal of Legal Ten
der United States Notes.
In corrobration of the masterly argu
ment of Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
against Mr. Bayard's bill for the repeal of
the “legal tenders” that sagacious and in
fluential New York journal, the Commer
cial Bulletin, makes this emphatic deliv
erance :
Now, in all the large money centres of
the United States and of Great Britain,
coin anil bank notes only compose about
five per cent, of the daily payment! into
anil out of the banks. Hence tlie with
drawal of the legal tender attribute of the
United States notes would be of little im
portance, were it not for tlie clause of the
National Bank Act which compels the
great money centres to keep on hand, at
all times, in lawful money, 25 per cent, of
tlieir entire deposits. AVithdraw the legal
tender attribute of United States notes,
and immediately the amount of legal
money within reach of the banks will
be diminished to the extent of $346,000,-
000 and hence they will be forced at once
largely to diminish tlreir loans to tlreir
dealers, which compose 95 per cent, of the
instruments with which the large mone
tary operations of the whole country are
effected. Should such a measure be
enacted by Congress, a severe monetary
panic would be inevitable, and all the op
erations of industry, commerce, the Stock
Exchanges attd banking throughout the
country, brought to a sudden standstill.
AVill Congress and the public press aid in
bringing such a disaster on the country by
joining in the senseless outcry against the
legal tender notes, which are, at present,
tlie foundation of all the monetary opera
tions of tlie country?
This certainly is sensible talk. AVhat
better circulation can we have than a cur
rency hacked up by the imprimatur and
whole power of the United States govern
ment? If such a guaranty is not suffi
cient, why is it that oven the lowest Fed-
eral bonds are in such universal request?
And why is it that even the greenbacks
that are not legal tenders, command in
New York this day a premium over gold?
AVe had hoped that the financial question
had been settled, at least temporarily, aud
would form no disturbing element in the
present Congress. But the Democrats
seem fated to throw away the trumps they
hold every time.

noon of a most atrocious murder at Me-
Beau, on the Central road, fifteen miles
from Augusta, Monday night- The vio
tim was Mr. AVilliam Haralson, a young
man about eighteen years of age, who
kept a store at the station. He had made
arrangements for coming up to Augusta
to purchase Christmas goods, and it is
supposed had a considerable sum of mon
ey in the store for that purpose. It is said
he instructed a negro named Anderson
Jones to call him early in the morning,
in time to take the passenger train for
Augusta, having frequently called upon
Jones for similar services before. We
also heard it stated that Jones slept
in the store, so as to be certain about
calling Harralson. Yesterday morning the
store was closed, hut as it was known that
Harralson was coining to Augusta no at
tention was paid to the fact. About 12
o’clock, however, Harralson’s little brother
went to the store and opened the door,
when a horrible scene met his gaze. His
brother was lying on the floor dead, In a
pool of blood, his head crushed by a hatch
et whicli was near-by.- The boy-at onoo
raised the alarm, and in a short time sev
eral neighbors gathered at the spot. Tho
unfortunate young man had evidently been
killed for the purpose, of robbery, as his
money was gone. The negro Jones
was missing, and suspicion was directed
to him as the: murderer. As it was
supposed that he ' had come to Au
gusta, a messenger was sent on
the freight.train td inform the police. This
he did promptly, and Jones was found In
a short time near the depot. He denied
all knowledge of tlie murder, and said he
was on his way to South Carolina to get
married. He declared that he came to
Augusta on the morning passenger train,
but the employees of the road on that
train, stated that lie did not. The police
were also informed that Jones was seen
in Augusta yesterday morning before the
train arrived. He told one of tlie officers
that he was at Mr. Harralson’s store late
Monday night,at which time he paid an ac
count that lie owed at the store. Jones
was lodged in the guard house to await an
investigation.
Harralson was a quiet, hard working
young man. His mother fives a short dis
tance from the station.

Neghoes Cut.—Savannah News: A
row occurred at St. Phillips’s colored
Methodist Church on Monday night, about
eleven o’clock, which resulted in the cut
ting of two of the combatants. It appears
that one of the societies connected with
the church was holding anniversary, and
and a grand banquet was spread. The
first table was over, and the guests were
being seated to the second table, when a
number of negro ruffians, who were out
side, attempted to gain admittance to tho
hall uninvited. They made a rush for the
door in a body, but were confronted by
Elder AV. II. Nobles and several of the
trustees, who heroically barred their pas
sage. A fight ensued between one of tho
trustees and a number of the gang, which
culminated iu a general row. During the
melee a colored man named AVilliams, re
siding on Pine street, was seriously
stabbed in the back, and another negro,
whose name is not known, received a gash
with a razor on the head.
Dr. Coker, colored, who was present at
the entertainment, attended to AVilliams’
wound. The other wounded man was
taken home by his friends. The ruffians,
after much difficulty, were driven away
and order was partially restored, but tho
festivites were shortly afterwards con
cluded.
It is reported that one of the ringleaders
of this shameful outrage was a negro
named Brooks. There were no policemen
about at the time, and consequently no
arrests were made. Subsequently, how
ever, a nogro named Adam AVilliams, was
arrested and arraigned before the police
court yesterday, and fined $10 and thirty
day’s imprisonment.
Athens Banner: The bodies Of Father
Doyle and Mr- Moynihau remained at
Mr. Lafferty’s, Monday night, and were
placed on the train yesterday morning to
be conveyed to AVaslungton, AVilkes coun
ty, for burial. A Catholic convent is at
that place, and a Home for Orphan Boys,
in charge of the Catholic Sisters. Sharon,
which was Father Boyle!* place of resi
dence, is but ten or fifteen miles from
AVasliington. A priest was to meet the
remains at Barnett, and go with them to
AVasliington to perform the last sad rites.
Persons who saw the bodies after they
were brought back to the city say they
had none of the usual appearance of the
dead except the rigidness. They were
placed in warm water till the rigidity was
relaxed, and then they seemed as if only
quietly resting in sleep. No distortion of
the features was apparent, nor even the
pallor of death.
Southern Enterprise: On last Friday,
little Tommie, the three year old son of
Mr. AV. P. Coyle, our worthy sheriff, was
standing in front of the fireplace at home,
the mantlepiece suddenly toppled over
without any warning and struck the little
fellow just a little back of the top of his
head. The blow cut the scalp and tore it
away from the skull for some two inches
or more, scraping the bone clean and lay
ing it bare, but fortunately not injuring it
at all. The weight of the mantlepiece at
the same time threw him forward and
bruised his forehead badly. Dr. Taylor
was called in and dressed his wounds,
which operation the little fellow bore
with a fortitude that might well be emu
lated by many older persons. AVe' are
glad to be able to report that he is rapidly
recovering and will speedily be well
again. • -
