We are not prepared to my what sum
would afford on adequate support to the
meml»erH of Congress, hot the estimate
should not be predicated upon tho private
fortunes of individual*. Some have little
or nothing of their own. and the govern
ment has nothing to do with the finances
of its servant*. It is presumed they are
to receive silffiriont to place them in
comfortable circumstances, and enable
them to support the dignity of sovereign
States, and that amount, whatever it may
be, should not lib withheld. Probably six
or eight thousand per nnnnin would !►©
enough, though not an extravagant allow
ance.
"We trust, therefore, the proposed non-
senie of cutting down to a more nominal
sum the salaries of member* of Congress,
will not be seriously entertained. A*
certain as it is done, the nation will be
made to pny for it in a hundred different
forms. Meml»er* will ta tendered sub
sidies to support various measures, which
their necessities will tempt them to ac

legitimate when? compensation is inade
quate, will also gain ground, and we shall
have a continuation of the wholesale ve
nality and corruption which havo dis
graced both branches of the Federal Con
gress. How prone men are to rush to ex

We call the serious attention of every
farmer in tho country, who owe* obliga
tion. booo,l upon tb*. deliverv of cotton,
to tho liberal propositions offered totiiru,
by the warehouse men of Macon, in tbeti
card, published on tho fourth page of this
issue.
Tlie terms are such as must give satis
faction to all intelligent persons. AU
that is asked is. that the farmer simply
rsdrast hi* promt** by sending forward
the cotton pledged, for tho payment of
the ad •ano.'H he lias received. Not a lain
of it will bo forced upon the market
without the consent of the owner, but
the prtMare of tht ratio* forms a solid
basis of credit to the warehouses, which
relievos them from the pressure occa
sioned by the scarcity of currency, and
the deranged state of the finances. With
the cotton on hand ns collateral, funds
can, and will lio obtained very soon, and
the means will ba furthcoming from the
Imnks for the movement of tho crop.
HU cotton duly delivered, the paper of
the planter can be renewed, thus en
abling him to hold his produce for better
prim's, which assuredly must be realized
when the present panic has subsided.
Wo trU't every day will continue to
witness the arrival of hundreds Of bales
from the country.
“Tlie Fall of Babylon.”
From the author A. C. Harnesa, we
have received a pamphlet embracing an
"Address to th. People” and "Plan of the
Temple of Liberty” in prose, together
with an ode to Liberty and other fugitive
(Hi'ins, as named above.
Hdrw the author ever got hU lucubra-
ti.ms into print through any respectable
publishing house, is a mystery to ns, un
less he planked the money down and said
go ahead anyhow.
A greater tissue of rhymithioal nonsense
and incoherent twaddle never saw the
light. Glimpses of reason occasionally
do occur in isolated passages, but the
work, as a whole, might well pass for the
effusion* of an unsound, erratic mind.
There is no impiety or disloyalty in
the book, at least to our own "lost cause.”
and this is its only recommendation.
We give two sample stanzas of the poetry:
••K»rthqu*kr«l i*l»nci< lo«*t t.» M^ht,
iVs.m.Nl etepuea.tumbling thrones.
F*1U crmahin foIL * *»klerus plight.

*A drradfal wMtin* tnwt at Are
• * l%al*m. at the dmthk*** dead.
Avrmnnc flood at bNTra'i ire
Meets tyrant* pale with dread."
The author urgently calls for "criti
cism,” and we have done tlie best we
could for him.
l>Uow Fever at Montgomery.
Tho Mont tjomery AiivtiiN, of Friday,
prints the offlcuJ statement of the Boanl
of Health, to the iftcit that up to noon
the ilay bafore there hiwl been two deaths
from yellow fever in that city, but that
no new cases had been reported in four
days.
The Columbus papers say the Western
railroad trains Uurin£ Montgomery Fn-
I dg»v and Saturday wer* filial with citi-
whflot thi* year, and the same in tobacco.
Th* Situation at Avar***—Ektort
of th* CoMHxmne or Mkrchawts.—The
Chronicle and Sentinel of Saturday an
nounce* that the financial condition in
Angunta on Frvlay was but little changed
from that of the prevkvu *h»y. The Na
tional Bank oi Augmtta j>uid aU chvvk > pre-
aezited. a* uxual. and expected to continue

made during the day. Mesura. J. J. Co
hen k Sons had resuminl the payment of
check* for small arno mU. The other
hank* continued about on the nme status
as on Thursday. At the meeting of the
bn tin—* men of the city the following re
port of the committee appointed to confer
with the railroad directors was read and
received: The committee appointed to
confer with tlie authorities of the Georgia
railroad, be* to su^trert to said authori
ties the followin'? plan for the refief of the
pr»»sent monetary premure in this commu
nity, which they believe to be feasible,
safe, and liable to prove profitable to
raid company and calculated to relieve
the present stringency . in tho money
market and afford material relief to
tho agricultural interest dependent npon
thii city. 1. The issue of $400,000 in
short date bond* in sums of $100 and $50,
in form similar to the 7 30-100 note* or
bond* at one time issued by the United
St * tea government, but bearin'* only one-
half that rate of interest, when not pre
sented for redemption until the expira
tion of six month*. Said bonds to be
convertible at the option of the holder
into preen hack* or national bank notes,
ujion thirty days* notice, but when so con
verted before the expiration of any six
months, to be converted only at the face.
2. To issue $100,000 in $1, $2 and $5
notes, receivable for all dues to the rail
road and honk, and convertible into the
above named lionds whenever presented
in sums of fifty dollars or its mutiplc. 3.
To be leaned to such parties and upon
such terra* and security ns may be avias
ide by the lioard. General Stovall offered
tho following resolution, wich was unani
mously adopted: Resolved, That we, the
merchants and business men|of Augusta,
rf«pard the tanking institutions of this
city as solvent and entitled to public con
fidence.
Th* Constitutionalist of Sunday says :
The National Bank of Aupusta, W. E.
Jackson. President, throughout yestenlay
stood the pressure just as if it were a veri
table financial ‘'Stonewall”—meeting all
demands of depositor*. Among its heavi
est payments were $8,300 to the Augusta
Factory, to pay the operators of that es
tablishment ; between $5,000 and $0,000
to the city of Augusta, to pay the canal
hands; and $1,200on a check of the Or
phan Asylum in favor of W. II. Goodrich.
In addition, a number of chucks for
smaller amounts were paid to merchants
and other depositors. And yet, at the
close of tho day’s business, the deposits of
currency were $7,000 to $8,000 in excess
of the amount of currency with which the
tank commenced business in the morn
ing. The Georgia Railroad Bunk remain
ed firm and unyielding as Gibraltar, wax
ing still stronger in currency supply, while
honoring all checks of depositors. The
Merchants* and Planters* National Bank,
ex-Governor 0. J. Jenkins, President, re
sumed. the payment in currency of small
chocks yester*lay. and effected settlement
of larger amounts by certified checks, now
current in the citv. This institution «•
-oexa to Im» tiHwJ* —• *“* * '
doing t>usin«*<a :n usual. The National
Exchange Bank. Alfred Baker. President,
continued to pay small checks in curtency
yesterday, and make settlements with de
positors desiring to accept first-class se
curities. Messrs. John J. Cohen A Son,
tankers, paid in currency all demands
inode on them yesterday, and will grad
ually be prepnn* 1 to pay currency to de
positors dolls? for dollar depositel with
them. They will resume business on
Monfloy under the same schedule as run
yesterday. The Commercial Insurance
and Banking Company continued to meet
all demamls of depositors.
Th* Bainbridgo Democrat, of Satnr-
«lay, gives the details of the damage done
by the storm the week lx?fore. Tho un
finished Episcopal Church was blown
down, as were several houses or parts
thereof, and many gin houses were de
molished. Cotton and sugar cane suffered
severely.
Communications signed “ Planter ”
and “ Factor,” respectively, appear in tho
Columbus papers of Sunday, urging a
general suspension of all Southern tanks.
We dip, as follows, from the Columbus
Sun of Sunday:
Tremendous Falling Off.—Sine*?
August 31st to Friday night, Montgomery
had received only 3,102 bales of cotton
against 0,830 last year, showing a de
crease of 0,638 bales in twenty-six days.
The papers expect the crop to fall off one
quarter in that section, and these figures
certainly indicate it.
How a Lawyer Went for a Grocer.—
Some two years since, during the summer,
a lawyer of Alabama applied to a grocer
of this city for about one hundred dollars’
worth of provisions to run his place till
the fall of the year. The grocer refused
him credit, but said if he would make a
note, endorsed by two men, named, he
would let him have the goods. The re
quired endorsement was obtained, note
given and goods taken. Pay day came
at last, when the grocer says to lawyer,
“your note for $100 is due, and I
would like to have the money.” Lawyer
to grocer—“My note! Why I don’t owe
you anything.” Grocer—“I am surprised
that you Have forgotten it; come in, and
I will show your paper.” Here the note
was handed the lawyer, who, turning it
over and over, finally says to grocer: “I
remember, now; I wanted some goods
and you refused to credit me; you cred
ited th*M men (the indorsers) and not
me; they owe you the $100, and if you
will put the claim in my han-is I wifi
make them pay it if I have to sue them.”

What it Reminds Banker Op-
dyke of.
The New York Sun, of Friday, has
th 8:
The policy of the Government in un
dertaking to ‘ purchase bonds at first,
rather than supply, the xleAfijd currency
for the emergency by* temporary* loaris,
has been severely criticised; but haring
adopted the policy it did, more severe
criticism is indulged in now that it with
draws before the trouble is fully over
come. Tlie Hon. George Opdyke. who
has always been esteemed one of the most
reliable and steadfast friends of the pres
ent Administration, said to the writer
yesterday that the policy adopted re
minded him of th»* old f|rmor who told
his son to cut. off the dog 5 taiL TKb’ijfrV
kept up a horrible yelping for a ^k>ng®
time, until the old man went out to see
what was the matter. He foand hU son
busily at cork chopping off the dog’s tail
piece by piece.
“ What are you doing, Bob ?” said the
old man.
“ I’m chopping tho dog’s tail off. as you
told me to.” replied Bob..
“ Well,” said tho old main, “ I didn’t
tell von to chop it off inch by inch.”
“ But yon see. father.” returned Bob.
“ I’m chopping off dittV? at a, tiuie so
it won’t hurt so bad.”
So, said Mr. Odpyke, the Government
comes to our relief. It doles out its r*?lief
piecemeal, thus contributing to prolong
our trouble, rather than end the panic at
once by giving all the assistance needed.
We are also reminded of something:
That Mr. Opdyke was one of the fore
most men in that Wall street phalcnx,
headed by “Poor Henry” Ole;rs., who de
clared that (Greeley's eUvt'on 4»md ■result'

large sums of money to defeat the Gree
ley candidates in North Carolina, and to
carry the October State election in Ohio.

ble that Banker Opdvke and hia associates
entertain different views on the subject
now. •' . * r\* ? t v >

THE GI TTEU—SNIPES STAMPEDED BY THE
POLICE.
Wall street was much less excited to
day. The crowd of bankers which have
hitherto blocked up Broad street in front
of the Sr«K-k Exchange was much 1<
tliis morning, owing to the energetic
of‘the captain of the second pro-
flation ? There is less money in circula- j .-inct. who directed his men to disperse
tion now, and, do the b<pt wx can, tin
will be less money in circulation for quite
a period to come, than there Would he on
a healthy specie basis. In' the slow pro
cess of returning from this extreme point
of depression to a more abundant cur
rency, we shall reach a stage at which
the'amount of available money will be
equal to the amount required for trans
acting^ the business 6i the tapntry [on
specie values. Why cannot wp resolve to
stop at that point and not pass it ? We
are going through, all the distress and
convulsion—and more than tho distress
and convulsion—that w«uld have attend
ed specie payments had they been forced
by arbitrary legislatio*. Having paid
this great penalty, is it lot folly, is it not
madness, to go back to the same condi
tion at the cost of pa$s«ng through a
similar calamitous exper.ence at some fu-
future time ?
We canjnev£r again such a re-
markAole 1 ftmibinrition fnd concurrence
of circumstances favoralle to resumption
as exist in this distressing conjuncture.
The high prices of the great staples of
England, the country with which we
chiefly trade, obstructs and curtails im
portations; while, on the other hand, we
have an abundant grain crop coinciding
with short harvests in many parts of
Europe, and a superlative cotton crop en
couraging
all groups which threatened to interfere
with sidewalk traffic. The brokers w<
by this means dr von in th© road. J
they fared no better here. The police
ordered trucks to be driven through tho
crowd, and so compelled the brokers to
scatter in all directions. Driven
from Broad street, some of the most
inveterate speculators and curbstone
brok ers adjourned to the Gold Exchange
‘•court and held high carnival there for
fifteen minutes, when the sergeant of the
police, with half a dozen men, drove them
helter skelter from their refuge.
BANKS DISCOUNTING—CURRENCY FOR
WORKINGMEN.
The Loan Committee of the Clearing
house has issued about $1,500,000 in loan
certificates to-day, making the entire issue
about $18,000,000. Mercantile paper fall
ing due at the banks is being paid with
remarkable promptness. In one institu
tion where $10,000,000 was due in Sep
tember, $14,000,000 hail been paid up to
Thursday afternoon, without asking ex
tension. Other tanks have been dis
counting. The result is, the banks are
ready to pay currency to meet pay-rolls,
laborers, family and business expenses.

The Postmaster a Defaulter.
Pittsburg, Pa., September -2G.—The
Pittsburg port-office was token possession
of this afternoon by P. Ethbridge, Chief
of Special Service Bureau of the Post-
office Department, and Col. John IIJ5tow T
art. Postmaster, was W* >a d^ T
fanlter to a large amount. Numerous
complaints readied Washington from
business men in this city that a large
number of letters containing Remittances
wef© lost at differ, lit times. Iflvcstiga-
tion was orderea by the PosUmM*
partment. There was found to be general
disorganization in the working force of
the office. Tlie first evidence of defalca
tion in the Pittsburg Post-office, amount
ing to $16,000, in favor of the Pan Handle
Railroad Company for mail service were
returned to tne Department protested.
At the time, according to the postmaster’s
accounts, he should have had funds on
hand to pay the draft. This caused
prompt action in taking possession of the
office and suspending the postmaster tins

exportations of eommo<lities accompanied

state of trade which all good judges have
insisted was the necessary condition and
prerequisite of specie peyments. That
condition exists now as perfectly as it is
ever likely to exist in our time, and it
synchronizes (which it may never do
again) with such an enormous contrac
tion of our available circulating medium
ttat.AU expansimi, reaching ^he amount
of currency wnigh* would Jjeriised on a

forting relief from the present depression.
The condition and immediate future
outlook of the country are favorable to
resmmition in another important respect.

Importer's can hoiv settle tbeir indebted
ness abroad by transmitting first-class
bills, which can bo purchased at lower
rates than they are ever sold for except
in panic times. The money paid out by
the importers will speedily find its way to
the exporters, whose drafts the bankers
would gladly purchase at the prices for
which they are now offered. To do this,
however, the bankers ra'nst have money,
and to get money they must have a mar
ket for their own bills. The weekly value
of the merchandise exported from this
port Is about six million dollars. Though
prices have fallen and freights «are lower,
nl serious shrinkage of this vast stream of
trade is threatened unless a better mar
ket ean be obtained for foreign bills. The
improvement in the demand for them
must be accepted as a most favorable
sigh. ■ ■
The Sifuation on Thursday —
Oue Good Sign.
The Tribune, of Friday, sums up the
riid .yjig t’ i • ■ •mi ] Tilings
ft to -’..•fi.* p:iv O.t •. not ‘.lit to th'Ull.
Tlie contraction U already jpbch greater
than Is required for that purpose, and ex
pansion to tlie volume of a normal cur
rency resting on tqiooie would ta a relief.
. One,of the. stock iigaiiirt re;
piuuption that it woUld b» ar hind nrsm
the 'lebtor But thi^ is not nffirery
an argnmciit against l'esumptioa at any
particular time, but an argnmen’ against
reoamptkm at alL It Is conceded that
we tuust resume at some time, and this
argument might be urged with the same
force at ttat future time, whenever it
shall arrive, as at present. The evil
which resumption would bring to the
debtor elms has always been overesti
mated.'*; Almort every man in active
business U both debtor ahd era lit »r, and
wtat he might, lose in the one r datura ho
would gain in the other. The merchant
buys.goiids’mi eretl^inonler that hy qiay
sell theui oiy credit. jThiJ manufacturer:
bcbm ‘money at h bank 1 to enablh hhii
to accommodate his customers. C col
lects hia dues of A and B that ho may.
discharge his debts to D and E. This is
the usual course of business, and is the
proper reply to the argument ttat resump
tion would oppress the debtor class.
Another stock argument againrt re
sumption has always been that there is
not gold enough in the country for the
purpose. Gold is now being shipped to
this country from England, and our great
exports of cotton and wheat are a guar
antee ttat the tide will not run the other
way. The returns of our foreign trade
will bring ns all the gold we need. We
were never, ho favorable a position for
wiping what W4 have and gamnifAtr we
want. On the specie basis, the same as
on the greenback basis, the business com-
munitv. will make the greater part
oU their i*tym»»nte in checks and bills
of 1 exchange, which are the practi
cal currency of commerce, and are
always good when the banks are sol
vent and ready to pay money on demand.
After resumption very little gold will be
used in payments, even in the retail
trade or in purchasing produce of the
farmers. Paper redeemable in gold will
form the actual circulating medium for
small transactions. The argument
founded on the quantity of gold has
therefore very little weight. There is, or
would soon be; *JoIJ enough fojft^e tank
reserves, and tk»
necessity for col
ports in coin. The greater part of the
panic seems fully past*
Wall and llroadstiveN remain greatly de
pressed. and they have reason. It is
foolish to fancy that nothing but “confi
dence” is needed to put things back to
where they were two weeks ago. There
hasT>oon an enormous shrinkage in val
ues : and the shrinkage has passed from
stocks to grain and coal and foreign ex
change. Business men may as well face
tho lower figures manfully, and prepare
to go ahead on that basis. The Govern
ment seems to have given about all the
aid it dares, Tlie effect of our New York
suspensions continues to return to us
from the country; and the banks, under
such circumstances, naturally hesitate at
some of tho requests of the Stock Ex
change. The brokers are most wise in
resolving to force clearances among them
selves, and get into such position that
they can tell wtat firms can go on, and
what must suspend.
Meantime yesterday brought us o more
cheering sign in the direction from which
our gravest peril has been threatened.
The entire internal commerce of the coun
try will sustain serious damage unless
there is a freer movement in the business
of foreign exchange. Exporters of pro
duce must be able to sell their bills, or
they cannot purchase grain and provis
ions on the Exchange. The dead lock
which has existed in foreign bills since
Saturday has nearly produced universal
nepers of the prim
ustomers.

Tlie WflwiWigtBn correspondent of the
St. Louis Democrat, telegraphs the fol
lowing under date of Saturday:
Dr. Louderman. the director of the bu
reau of the Mint, who has made a life-
study of finances, and one of the ablest
of the government officials, predicts ttat
the effect of this stock panic will he to
hasten the resumption of specie payments.
He says he stall not be surprised if with
in a month silver coin will be a medium
of pironlation at currency rates, and that
if a*still greater crash instock follows the
opening of the Stock Exchange, a thing
he regar<ls as very probable, that the full
resumption of specie payments cannot be
longer dellyod, as everything, even
stocks, must come to a gold level. He
does not think the panic will be dis
astrous, as the recuperative power
of this country, with its wealth of
grain, cotton and crude bullion, will ena
ble it to retain the advantage of foreign
pountrie3. He says he is getting ready,
and has issued the requisite orders to all
the mints for largely increasing the coin
age, ami that more bullion will be coined
during the next three months than at any
previous time during the same period.
No exports of crude bullion* will be made
for several months, owing principally to
the unfavorable rates of exchange. Large
thfrj would' be/ne further ^he unfavorable rates of exchange, targe

government would procure rnonov for pay
ing the interest by purchasing bills of
exchange drawn on foreign houses. None
of the holders should insist on actual
coin instead of its equivalent in the pa-
from New York for the importation of
sovereigns, which, at the present con
dition of sterling exchange, will giro a
large profit.

meeting of the Chamber of Commerce this
morning, which included the largest as

thus relieving the money pressure all
around:
Resolved, That the President be in
structed to prepare a memorial to the
President of the United States and the
Secretary of the Treasury, praying that
the Secretary place and maintain on de
posit with the Assistant Treasurer at
Charleston, the sum of five hundred
| thousand dollars, to be used by him in
the purchase from the banks of exchange
on New York, and that such memorial be
forwarded ot once to Washington, with
the name of tho Chamber of Commerce of
mat meanwhile, tne presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce be
authorized to forward the subsffince and
purpose of such memorial, by telegraph,
to the proper person in Washington.
