Financial.
The financial dinonler that appeared so
violent in its early Ktnpos, him now aa
enuiod a typhoid form, mid the whole
fiunneial system seems to be enorvuted and
paralysed. AIJ the powers of reenpora
tion teem to have been wasted in futile ef
fort* to recover from the debility. The
causes were not investigated at tlui right
time. There has been too much delay;
the disease ha* become Urn thoroughly dif
fused throughout the whole system to be
readied by preventives; curatives are es
sential now; noiirisliifients and gentle stim
ulants, cautiously administered, is the only
remedy now; sudden transitions must, be
guarded against; flattering symptoms
should lie regarded as deceptions. The
vital energies and recuperative powers are
principally located in the Mouth, and
onglit not, nor would not, with proper
watchfullneos and skillful and stubborn re
sistance, have been effected with the dis
order, There was no local cause in the
South for any financial disorder. Its pri
vate indebtedness is less, by fur, than at
any time since the war, and its crops last
year were, and this year ought to bo (not
witliatanding the many disasters), as much
or more remunerative than any other pe
riod since the war. Then,ns the onuse was
remote from ns, might not our financial
physicians have resisted with nil their skill
its approach. Did they do it? Are they
doing it? We answer emphatically no!
But they have opened the door and invit
ed the panic, with all of its paralyzing ef
fects. How do they open the door and in
vite the enemy in? By forcing the plant
er to an immediate payment of liia indebt
edness just due by the sacrifice of bis crop
(in the sale of which he ought to realize a
handsome profit), at prices far below the
actual cost of production. And w but fool
is it that cannot see nt glance that the
whole disaster falls upon the ulioulders of
the planters? No mutter how short the
crop, or bow reduced the prices, his entire
indebtedness must be met, No panic re
duces the indebtedness, but weakens every
facility to pay; no panic over soften* the
heart of a sliylock, but in every instance
fosters his avariee. He will cut off what
has been, and would continue to Ire, his
perpetual sources of wealth, rntlier than
check them for a season, and then realize
tho benefit of their renewed strength.
Upon agricultural interests dejwuids all
other interests, and he who attacks that
interest and weakens it, is supping the
very fountain of all interests, both of u
private and commercial character. If, to
meet the demands of avaricious sliylocks,
the products of the South be sold for less
than the cost of production, is not tho
South impoverished and ruined. If her
crops be sold at a fair profit, is she not
bloused and made prosperous thereby, and
doesn’t every other interest—branches of
business—realize the calamity of the
former, and enjoy the blowings of the lat
ter. Then why not all minor interests com
bine to foster and sustain and vitalize and
perpetuate the one upon which all de
pends? If failures there must be it is far
lietter that a few merchants should sus
pend for a season than that the whole ag
ricultural interest of the country should ;
be destroyed. It is better that a branch
should wither tlinu that the tree should
die. If one branch perishes and the tree |
lives, anew branch may pome. So if one
merchant fails, and the material interests
of the country is unimpaired, and agri
cultural prosperity abounds, his place will
lie supplied if the demand of trade re
quire* it.
Now, we reiterate what we have stated
before, that the South did have, and now
possesses ample resources and facilities to
resist the financial disaster, or at least to
avert its greatest calamity, and we reas
sert that the plan urged now hy commercial
men (and if not advocated, is not resisted
by the press), will destroy the general
prosperity of the South and leave the
planters greatly weakened, if not hope
lessly impoverised.
We hope we will not be understood as
warring uguinst merchants or mercantile
interests. Theirs is a legitimate branch of
industry, and essential to the general
prosperity We muke no war upon banks,
for they are a great convenience, and an
essential element to the prosperity of the
country. But if these branches, by their
own indiscretions,have become disordered,
it is better to lop them off than that they
should destroy the vital interests of the
country.
Wo don't wish to be understood a* de
fending a dishonest planter in his refusal
to pay or secure his merohant, or the mer
chant in refusing to puv or secure his
banker; b"t wo do fight against the bank
ing sliylock that forces the merchant, by
his rigid rules, to cut the pound of flesh
from the country’s vitals. We have said,
and we do say, that all of these calamities
to tho country could have been, and might
yet be avoided by judicial financial gener
alship. We have the elements of resist
ance and the sources of power that would
drive the panic in disgust from our coun
try, if W 8 would only combine our strength i
and concent rati our forces.
Now, in all honesty iiu.l candor, we say
to the planter, you ought to secure your j
merchant; you ought to muintatu your j
honor and sustain your credit; but your
highest duty is to your family aud your
country’s greatest interests.
Then, farmer, we urge you, combine
and secure your merchants with your crops
as collaterals, but don’t sell under any cir
cumstances ruino sto yourselves and in
jurious to the country. If your merchant, j
with such collaterals, can’t meet his bank
demands, let bankers and merchants break .
and go to the d—l, but let the planting in
terests be protected. There is no reason
why cotton should not be sold at remuner- ■
stive prices; the supply is uot greater thnn
**’ vear % *ud certainly the demand m>t
I less. Child and currency is as plenty now
! as it wits last year; for it lias certainly not
; gone out of existence, looms and spindles
! are as numerous as they wore last year,
and require as much material to run them;
operatives ore as numerous now us ever
i before, and require as much food and
! clothing now as ever; speculators are as
I numerous now as ever, and as eager for
profit* now as ever before; then where is
there uny reason for the panic in the
South? With the entire cotton crop in
; the South we are safe. Then keep it, not
at home, but in the ware-houses. With
I such collaterals your merchant’s credit w ill
j not be impaired, nor his creditors injured
|or alarmed. The merchant who seeks to
compel his debtors to sell their crops, or
j force it upon a depressed and declining
market, is his debtor’s as well as his coun
try’s greatest enemy. The crop of the
Mouth would have to be stored but a short
time until looms and spindles would stop,
and operatives crying for bread would
; soon revolutionize the finaneiid world, and
the money rings that have caused all this
trouble would lie broken tip. and money
would come from every source to buy your
cotton at remunerative prices; and instead
of oppression by indebtedness, you will
be prosperous and independent.
Planters, if your merchants and bunk
ers will co-operate with you in holding
the cotton crop until it can be sold at fair
prices, enter ut once into the combination;
but if they will not, enter into a combina
tion among yourselves, and swear allegi
! ance to the country’s best interest, and
j hold it yourselves until you get its value.
| Mark, dear readers, it is tho South's
i only hope.

Letter From A Sensible Editor.
Rinooolu, Oa., Oct. 27, 1873.
Mr, ./, ('. <}allnh<T , Quitman, Ga:
Dear Siu: You will allow me, although
* a stranger to von. toeompliment you upon
1 the very excellent paper, both in style and
j matter, which you publish; and if you will
\ do me the kindness, I wish to ask of you
; where you procure your paper? I have
I been unable to get, such a quality of paper
1 from uny of our dealers or manufacturers.
Yours very truly,
Wm, IT. Walker.
We take pleasure, brother Walker, in
giving you the information you desire.
We purchase our paper from John M.
! Cooper A Cos., Savannah, Gu. We have
always obtained a good article at reasonable
prices, mid expect to continue to purchase
from that house, and take pleasure in re
commending it *o everybody.
The Tribune, in an article on the im
prisonment of Air. Shanks, one of its at
taches, for contempt of court, in Brooklyn
says: “For all it savs the Tribune holds
itself responsible. NVe believe in libel suits 1
and wo are quite ready to meet them when j
they oome in onr way, to make reparation I
wheu we are wrong, to fight it out to the
bitter end when we are right. But we ;
give fair notieo to the beaten, disgraced
angered ring of Brooklyn that it, can never j
restore their damaged characters and ru
ined prospects by a malicious prosecution
of newspaper employees, and that in an j
assault upon tin- independence of the press
it can only cover itself with new disaster." :

Alias Arethusa Hall, one of the Titnnia
minded women of the country, declares
that the “first step to be taken in the pro
cess of reforming woman is to civilize
man.” For our part, we think she had j
better shoot man,for then woman wouldn’t;
need reforming. -Courier-Journal.
We don’t think that there is any necessi
ty for reforming woman. She is all right.
But, avc do think, if the men were all shot
the prayers of woman would be numerous j
and servent, “Lord make me a man."
An elder of the Methodist church called !

He is now on trial before his peers, and j
the disclosures are of the most astounding i

was a close applicant to her studies, and
was wont to abandon her meals to penile:

hands arc draw nup behind her head. She
sleeps but little, and is said to be endowed
with clairvoyant faculties. She works em
