It is a familiar theme and its chief interest j lies in the fact that bis political position needs a good deal of defining. This is, j Indeed, an industrious age, and if all our j statesmen were as busy as Congressman j Watson, we sould have the heated term twelve months iu the year. We have observed that when Mr. Watson is not [ engaged in speaking lie fill’s up the odd 1 hours by explaining his speeches, defin ing his position and attacking The Con-; stitutiou." more than the present volume of national bank circula tion, aud the full significance of this fact may bo realized when wo remember that our business necessities aro now about four times as large as they were then. It is only by making such a com parison that wo can understand what an important part the circulation of state bank notes played In our circulation. One of tho chief objections urged against the state bank system is really an argumont in its favor. It is said that tho notes of the banks would not be at par in every part of the union. We know of no higher recommendation Tho greatest need of tho people and bus iness of tho country at this moment is a currency that cannot he drawn to the banks that tlourlsh on the edge of the Wall street whirlpool. Our greatest need Is a local currency that will re main where it can do the most good, and where it Is most needed. It is not true of the old state hanks, however, that tlieso hills were not at par away from home. The notes of the Bank of the State of Georgia and the Bank of South Carolina were as good Id London and Liverpool os they were at home. There Is one feature of the atate bank system which is worthy of notice, and attention has been recently called to it by Senator Ilorace Chilton,, of Texas. The state bank circulation was based on the idea of the actual redemption of bank notes In specie. A state bank, for example, tuned 920,000 In bills under the lsw. These bills would flow out through the local channels of trade and commerce in every direction, bat as soon as they ceased to be needed in aotual transactions, they would begin to flow back for redemption. They were In tended, as Mr. Chilton shows to be se cure enough to pan at par In dally buai- oeu, but not secure enough to be held 2,000 miles sway,with no thought of re demption. They were continually re turning to the vaulta of the bank that Is sued them, and wer'e as continually put out to local borrowers again—so that there was always enough currency to do business, and no more. It was s self regulating currency. There was always a return current from the cities to tho country and back again. This Is precisely where tho national hank circulation Is a failure. The secu rity on which it Is based defeats all idea of redemption. It can be hoarded, and It can bo called away from one section of the country to another. In other words it is not a flexible and an elaatic paper currency, and it docs not meet the de mands of business as sptly as tho state bank bills did. It is os poor as gold, and it collects in tho money centers, leaving the rest of tho country to get along the best it can. Under the old system there could be no contraction of money. Un der our present system the money sharks of the north and east can contract the currency at their pleasure. Tub newspapers of Lima, Peru, con tain elaborate accounts ot the removal of tbs remains of Francisco Pixarro, who led the conquest of Pern, from a vault under the altar ot tho cathedral at Lima, to the ebtpel ot tho Viceroys In the same building. The remains ware (ob jected to a careful examination, and the body was found to be admirably pre served, although it |* 330 years sinos WILL SKT TIIE COLONELS THINKING' Here is an editorial utterance from the Savannah Times which will set the ‘•colonels" to thinking; “Lieutenant-Colonel Stovall, Lieu tenant-Colonel B. II. Richardson, Lieu tenant-Colonel John Temple Graves, Lieutenant-Colonel Speer, Lieutenant- Colonel Joslah Carter, and all the other lieutenant-colonels of Governor Xor- tben's staff, are not coming up so brave ly as we expected them to. These gal lant soldiers, heroes of many an unfought battle, aro neglecting their duty In not rushing impetuously to the attack on tho bill to cut down the governor's staff to thirteen. “As the Times has pointed out, the hill is a blow aimed at the press, and, therefore, unconstitutional. “Can It bo that the colonels are so reckless as to defy the thirteen supersti tion ? That wore hardihood to the verge of madness, and it is impossible to he Hove. “The lieutenant-colonels should at tack and put to rout the supporters of the measure, and a special message on the subject from the governor would be In order." TOE SECOND TERM. _ Looking the Republican party over from the Calais saw mills to the Astoria salmon factories, and from the lakes to the gulf, custom bouses, post offices, newspaper offices, all Included, we ehould say that there was about aa much popular demaud for the renoml- natlon of the Hon. Benjamin Harrison as there was In August, 1879, for tbe renomination of Rutherford B. Hayes. Certainly there Is not less; perhaps there It a little more. No man can occupy tbe white house and be without eupport for a second term, eo long as bis first term lasts, and the political value of his autograph has not been destroyed by the final fourth of March. If the Hon. Benjamin Harrison will send for the files of the dally newspa pers during the summer months of 1870, he will find that there was a time when oven Mr. Rutherford B. Hayes had sup porters for renomination.—New York Sun. The following from the Knoxville Tribune shows the state of the IIoux sentiment in East Tennessee: “An Anderson county Republican, who evi dently knows whereof he speaks, asserts that Judge Uouk formally willed his seat in congress to his son John, ana, declares this Anderson county advocate of justice, it would be an outrage upon the living and the dead if tbe people failed to ratify and endorse the will In fact, to do otherwise would doubt less bo Illegal. Hence, oh, patriots, pie-eaters and pap-suckers,do your duty by voting for John Houk,and herein fall not." The house has passed the Athens dis pensary bill. This seems to be tbe re sult of the recent prohibition election. Tbe county is to become the liquor deal er, buying and aeUlng, with officers ap pointed by lsw In charge. Tbe liquor must be sold In original packages of pints, and the traffic will be closely reg ulated. The dispensary will do away with the blind tiger business, and was favored by both prohibitionist and antis. Eimtoii Gantt gives the Democratic cougress-elect notice that upon their action iu regard to the Ocala platform at the next session depends the Inaugura tion of the third party: lie says: “We will know by next February what re liance we can place In Democratic promises. Pass the sub-treasury bill through the house, together with the otlior demauds in our platform, and we will guarantee that the third party will ‘die a-borning.' Otherwise you are going to see it a living reality, and wo believe, too, that the farmers will name the next president. The partisan press and the old sore-head politicians of Geor gia can preserve this editorial for future reference.” The death of James Russell Lowell, of Massachusetts, and George Jones, editor and proprietor of the New York Times, removes two prominent men whose names will live In American his tory. Mr. Lowell ranked foremost among the men af learning in this coun try, and as a scholarly diplomat he had no superiors. George Jones, ns an in dependent journalist, won fame and for tune. Their lives were well spent, and the world Is better for them having lived in it. 0 U 'V. a q— SZ i 0 C o cn 0 C/D 73 £ 0 "0 O S-.
