Change the Day.
It has been suggested and we think
the suggestion a good one, that the
date for the Memorial day be fixed for
Monday, instead of Saturday the 26th
inst. Saturday is a very busy day.
The young men belonging to the
Guards, are, a great majority of them,
business which will demand their
presensc that day Many ot them
perhaps could not turn out. The
military will, or ought to be, one of
the features of the occasion. And
then the merchants would no doubt
close up for two or three hours on
Monday afternoon. They could not
well do so on Saturday. We cail tile
attention of the Ladies Memorial As
sociation to the matter.

The Sub-Treasury Plan.
Col. Livingston is pushing the
sub-treasury scheme. The Augusta
Chronicle in noticing this new de
parture, says:
“The proposition that the govern
ment should establish a sub-treasury
iu every county for the reception of
farm products is not apt to puzzle
the people very long. It probably
find its rise in the Wiudoni plan to
receive into the treasury vaults all
the silver bullion that can be bought,
issuing therefor silver certificates on
the market value of the metal. This
measure has not been accepted by the
silver men, and will not he. The
former are the material for the coin of
the country. They are tlio author
ized money ot the constitution, and
even under the doubtful treatment
of the Wiudoni scheme would not
! furnish a precedent for ail agricultu
ral sub-treasury. If the corn and
cotton of the farmer arc to lie stored
and bonded, and treasury notes issued
upon their value, other interests
would clamor for similar favors.
Manufacturers and miners would ask
for 'cloth and iron warehouses
what not. There would ho no end
to the business, and the government
paper would soon cense to represent
anything but glutted commodities,
Our currency would then he at the

The law which authorizes spirits to
be put in bond was framed because

that a mail may store his spirits and

S* far as we have heard all parties

selected to condemn the property
asked for by the new railroad. They
will make a lair, honest, and impartial
award. Under the law either side
may appeal to the courts. But it is
not likely that this will be done. In
the meantime, however, this course
would not interfere with the progress

Such a scheme smacks of paternalism

Hamilton and his followers. It is So

government to do for the people what
the people should do for themselves.
