Washington, February 22. —The Presi

that Georgia would be admitted before

Specie Payments.
A return to the old method of the
redemption in specie upon presentation,
of all paper issues, is simply impossible
at this juncture.
Such a proceeding would bankrupt
the whole country.
It is estimated that the proportion of
gold and silver in the Treasury vaults,
mid on deposit at the various banks of
the Union, is about S3OO for every $2,-
400 in currency.
By no process of elongation can the
former be made to cover the latter, if
an arbitrary edict should call for specie
redemption.
Again, such a procedure would add
at least 20 per cent, to the entire debt
of the country, as all money transac
tions have been predicated upon a dis
count of that amount, or more, upon the
value of gold.
Thus, if A buys a mule for S2OO in
currency, with gold at a premium of 20
per cent, and is required to settle in spe
cie, he must pay $240 in currency to
meet his obligation.
But experience will demonstrate that
this bona fide redemption of paper in
specie, has never been practicable or
even possible, during the most prosper
ous ante helium period.
Tijis will be patent tm all, when it is
remembered that our banks were usual,
ly permitted by their charter to issue
paper to the amount of three times the
value of the specie in their vaults, and
in the majority of cases, (he actual infla
t:on of the circulating medium was even
in a greater ratio. Hence, when a sus
picion of the integrity of any bank offi
cer, or other mis-manugement, induced
a run upon the concern, unless checked
by the promptest restoration of public
confidence, a suspension, and assignation
of assets, was the inevitable result
The word confidence, is all that is nec
essary in commercial transactions. Nor
is it possible even to multiply coin and
bulliou to such an extent, as actually to
meet and cover, dollar for dollar, the
amount of money actually needed on
change.
Avery general impression prevails
that the country is flooded with green,
backs, and therefore they must, in time,
depreciate in maiket value, somewhat
after the manner of the French assig
nets, or our own Confederate currency.
This is a great mistake, however. Sta
tistical tables will show that, on the con
trary, the combined circulation of all
the national batiks, and legal tender
notes, will fall far short of the paper
money which was actually afloat in the
country, at the breaking out of hostili
ties in 1861.
Take, for instance, the city of Savan
nah. At present, her banking capital
will fall short by several millions)
what it was anterior to the war, and the
same will apply to all parts of the South.
1 u former times, every respoctable vil
lage boasted its bank oi bank agency,
and money was so plentiful that 6 or 7
per cent, interest, was esteemed an ex
cellent investment. ’despite the
continuance of usury laws, from to
2} per cent, per month , is openly de
manded and paid.
The obvious cause of this, is the scar
city of money and the demand for it.
Again, the stringency of the money
market is constantly augmented by the
periodical redemption of United States
bonds, as they mature, or are bought up
by the Secretary of the Treasury.—
These are in effect a part of the circula
ting medium, as they pass from hand to
hand, and are received in payment of
debts, and the purchase of property.—
Thus the paradox is presented of in
creased financial stringency, and multi
plied failures of business houses, pro
portioned to the reduction of the nation
al debt, and the consequent contraction
of the circulating medium. It must be
remembered, also, that practically, all
the gold and silver of the country has
been retired, and is hoarded up in idle
ness.
In the every-day transactions of busi.
ness, specie coufers no benefit, for it will
not pass, in the usual manner, at par, and
the people are not posted as to its rela
tive value, and dont wish to be eneum
bered with it.
In conclusion, we would remark, that
in our judgment two solutions alone can
he found for our financial difficulties.—
The first consists in the wholesale re
pudiation of the national debt. We do
not propose to argue this point at pres
ent, but will simply say, that owing to
the extravagance and corruption of the
government, the alienation of the south
ern people, and the disaffection of the
West, under the burden of oppressive
taxation, this result may be nearer at
hand, than the luxurious bend holder
may imagine.
The other is to be found, m the fur
ther expansion of the national currency
to meet the demands of commerce.
Unless Congress will take this step,
money must become tighter, and the
rates of interest increase, to the sad det
riment of the small capitalist and the
labeling classes.
Whether they will afford this relief or
not is at present suspended in doubt.—
In the mean time, | £|fsi|ji on ty colinse '
economy in all expenditures, and the
curtailment of the speculating mania.
In times like these, better furl our
sails and ling the shores of safety, than
adventure into unknown seas, without
chart or compass. Patience and pru
dence should our watchwords.

The “Colored Vote.”
The New York Sun says there ars
850,000 colored voters, of whom -790,000
dwell in the sixteen late slave-holding
States. Leaving 60,000 fur all the oth
ers. Os these sixty thousand, 7,500 are
in New England, 41,000 in the five cen
tral States of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and
8,500 in the remaining ten western
States. In particular Mates there are
in Delaware, 4,500; Maryland, 34,000,
which are larger figures that the Demn
cratic majorities in those States. In
Connecticut there are 2,000 : in New
Jersey, 4,500, and in New York fully
12,000; in Pennsylvania, 13,000; in
Ohio more than 8,000, and in Kentucky
not far from 42,000, which the Sun
thinks will seriously endanger or reverse
the Democratic majorities in all those
States, and therefore the Sun warns the
Democratic party against making any
fight against the colored brethren.
The Fifteenth Amendment is un

Bad Accident on the Central Rail
road. —We have information of the fol
lowing sad aecident which happened on
the Central Railroad on Wednesday.—
The annexed facts will explain the oc
currence and show that no blame can
be attached to the road : ‘An empty
lumber train going up on the Central
Railroad stopped at the seventy-six
mile post to wood-up, and while there,
two boys made their appearance. The
elder one of these boys got on the train
and beckoned to his little brother to do
likewise, and in the attempt he fell b< -
tween two cars while the train was in
motion and had both legs broken, one
car passing over him. The train was
immediately stopped as soon as the ac
cident became known and the little hoy
properly cared for, the road authorities
promptly dispatching to bis father. It
exacted that he can recover
'from*' his injuries.’ While no blame
can be attached to the authorities of
the road, the accident shows how much
prudence and caution should bo exei -
cised by Conductors of trains, especial
ly those devoted exclusively to freight
purpose .
buuce writing the above we learn that
tl e boys were the sons of Mr. Davis,
who was formerly an overseer on that
section of the road, but now in the em
ploy of the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad,
and absent from home, and that the in

Tiie Georgia Senators.— The follow
ing, from a Washington special to the
New York Times, may afford some clue
to the drift of Radical sentiment regard
ing - our State :
The new Senators elected by the
Georgia Legislature are not up, in point
of character and standing, to what was
hoped for from the regeuated Legisla
ture of that Slate. Mr. Blodgett only
is well known here, but is probably the
least popular of any one of the pro mi
uent Republicans of Georgia. Mr. Far
row, elected to supersede Joshua Hill,
is the present Attorney General of the
State, and is said to be a very able and
popular man. lie has not been much
identified with the quarrels of the fno
tions in the Stale. Mr. vVhitwly, elected
for the short term, was the Republican,
candidate for Congress in the Third Dis
trict, but was defeated by his Democrat
ic competitor, Nelson 'Lilt. What the
result wilbbe, it is impossible to
It J.-oks now as there would be agreat
muddle in the matter.
It is not fit all probable that the
House will declare Georgia entitled to
representation, except upon conditions
such as have boon imposed upon "Vir
ginia and Missippi. The Judiciary
Committee of the Senate, it is under*
stood, will hold that anew declaration
of the right of tiie State to representa
tion is unnecessary, and that the cre
dentials of Hill and Miller are prop
erly before it for cou.-ideration. Should
they be over ruled by the Senate, and the
House proposition be concurred in, then
the whole question of tiie validity of the
old Legislature will come tip for decis
ion in this case. Tiieie would seem to be
no way out of the question, except
through the position ot General Terry,
that tiie act of December 22, 1868,
takes in connection vvitli the previous
acts of reconstruction, placed the gov
ernment of the State oil a provisional
basis,, with its action wholly subject to
revisions by Congress.
The Election for Senators —The
third section of the third article„of the
new Constitution of Georgia reads thus :
“A majority of each House shall consti
tute a quorum to transact business, but a
similar number may adjourn from day
to day, and compel the presence of the
absent members as each House may
provide.”
The House consists of 175 members,
and hence 88 are necessary to transact
business. It has time and again been
decided in past sessions of the Assem
bly, and is a recognized parliamentary
taw, that unless a majority of the whole
J ouse voted, a question was not settled.
Under this constitutional test, the
election for Senators is simply invalid.
In no case was an aggregate of 88 votes
cast. The entire vote in Blodgett’s case
was 85; in Farrow’s 80; in Whiteley’s,
83—none.reaching to 88, the requisite
number to make the election good—
while Blodgett received 12 illegal, or
“next highest” voles, Farrow and
Whit;'ey the sane, reducing tUTaggrei
gate still more.

The Circus vs. the Church. —Last
Tuesday night there were some 2500
persons at Robinson’s circus. Tin y
gathered in a rushing tide.from every
point of the compass, as if their hopes
lbr lime and eternity hinged upon ad
mittance, and that, too, when they had
to pay a doilar r.o get in. Those were
there who could not, have given 5 cents
to relieve the distress or promote reli
gion or any oilier good .engse. ALJjie
four exhibitions of the circus we have
no doubt but that money i-nough was
spent to have built a neat church in the
city and repaired the others; or to have
fenced in the fair grounds and bought
a town clock. We haven’t the least
doubt that many persons, black and
while, were there, who had not enough
to e.'tt the next day. How excitable
and short sighted we poor devils are.—
To-day six or eight city churches will
he open. It requires no sacrifice of
time, or business or money to go, and
yet we will insure there are not 2500
persons at all of them. If people are
ever saved in heaven it won’t be be
cause they deserve it. —Columbus Enq.

FINALLY, i I have enabled some of you to raise a crop of Cotton the pas
year. You may not have gathered as many bales as you wanted, but you have
sold, or can sell , at fair prices, for Cash, and make a larger profit than I made oflf
of the Goods I sold you. To enable me to extend similar favors another year
you should no longer neglect your “ promise to pay ” when you gathered your
Cotton. I paid cash for the Bacon, Flour, Salt, and other goods you bought of
me, which enabled you to raise this Cotton. When were yon to pay me ? °
