TIIK INDKI’KMMvNT. NATI'HOiT, IOVKMHKII I. I*7 I. J. C. GALLAKER, Editor and Proprietor. 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. -♦ • To The Press. In accordence with a series of resold- I . turns passed by the Georgia Press Asso- j j ciation in Convention at Americas, the i undersigned Committee were appointed I to take all necessary steps for the forma tion of a National Punas Association, The Committee having received, through j their Chairman, a number of favorable I responses to the proposition to form such an Association, from journalists of several States and territories, giving to the Com mittee the assurance of their hearty co opperation in the movement, we deem the object worthy of an effort, and the present i an auspicious moment to begin the j : work, we therefore issue a call for a Con ! vention of journalists throughout the Union to assemble at, Ht,. Louis, Missouri, on Wednesday, the 26th, of November, 1873, to organize a National Press Associa tion. All papers in the United States are re quested to make notice of the place and time, and every journalist is respectfully solicited to attend. The Georgia Press will please do ns the favor to keep a standing notice of the call, until the day of meeting. Bonnier L. Boiiobks, Caky W. Styles, a w. hani TICK, T. M Peeples, J. B. Reese.

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 ! White, out in Milwaukee, making his sa-; ered character a cloak for lus rascality, has been swindling his brother ministers out of large amounts by selling them—us a particular favor -shares in a wildcat mining company, with a pompous name, j He is now on trial before his peers, and j the disclosures are of the most astounding i character. Upwards of $300,000 of that spurious stock has been palmed off on his “friends and admirers.” — , - ■ ■■■■■ Cviirkncy ten the West.—A Washing ton letter says: Comptroller of the Cur rency, Knox, will, in Ins forthcouimingan nual re|Kirt, urge the repeal of the law authorizing the withdrawal of twenty-five millions of National Bank currency from the Eastern States for distribution among j the Western States, they not having their just proportion; at the same time lie will recommend that National bank notes be i increased twenty-five millions, and that the whole of this amount he distributed among the Western States the same as at preseut. A Youthful Miiu>khek. — Xeio York Oct. 27.—William Scanlon, aged eighteen, was stabbed and killed by James McMahon, aged sixteen, this eveliiug.
