COLUHBQS: THURSDAY JANUARY 22, 1874. TO «KEfftFONDENTS. \Yo cannot notice anonymous commu nications, no matter how meritorious; nor will manu B cript written on both aides receive tiny attention. When it is de sired to return communications that are not used, stamps for that purpose must be euclo9od. We are always anxious to get news, and such information as is of interest to the majority of our readers will always be welcome. Hon*. W. 1). Kelley, of Pennsylvania, has introduced in Congress a bill to give elasticity to the currency by the issuo of convertible 8.06 per cent bonds, and pro viding for a national free banking system. It is said to bo gaining friends, though it is considered very doubtful whether the Senate, at least, will agree to any measure which contemplates an inciease of the volume of the currency. Indian liver, says the Palatka Herald, averages about two miles in width, and has a navigable channel for a distance of about fifty miles, from which point to Jopitermoro or loss obstructions occur, caubod by oyster and conch banks. The river is so straight for one hundred and fifty miles that a straight line drawn through its centro would not touch oithor bank. It is a beautiful river, and is skirt ed ou either side by a variety of lauds— hammocks, savannahs and piuey woods. Mr. SherMan, of Ohio, addressed the United States Senate, on Friday, in favor of the contraction of the curreucy atid the resumption of specio payments at an early day. Iiis [dan of resumption wur to “take some bond of the United States, which in ordinary times is shown to bo worth par in gold, end authorize tlio con- verston of all notes into this kind of bond.” Mr. Morton, of Indiana, replied, opposing the convertible bond plan. No other Senator expressed decided opinions on that day A correspondent of the Atlanta Herald, writing from the City of Toccoa. in Hab ersham county, on the Air-Liue Railroad, gives a glowing account of the growth and prospects of the town. Last June, when the place was in the woods, small lots sold for to $52, and they aro now worth $250 to $800 unimproved. Now there nro about liftoen store houses built a fine hotel couiploted and another going up, a town hall, livery stables, Ac , and churches and schools about to be cstab babel. Lands in the vicinity sold tw years ago 40o. to $1.50 per aero, and are now worth from $5 to $10 per acre. The railroad caused this change. Hon. A. H. Stephens has written to the Augusta Constitutionalist a letter con corning a late remark about him Attrib uted to the lion. Jefferson Davis. The reported remark of Mr. Davis, on hearing that Mr. Stephens had said iu Augusta that “ wo must take Cuba at once," was “Well, 1 am glad Mr. Stephens is gotting up to the fighting point at last." Mr Stephens, in his lutter, says that ho does not believe Mr. Davis made the ronmrk and ho then goes on to explain liis viowi about Cuba. Ho says that his remark in Augusta was, that “ he was for Cuba im mediately, if not sooner, 'and that ho did not mo.in by this that the United Slat should “ tako " Cuba, but only that our Government should recoguizo the inde pendence of “the republic of Cuba," and not punish as felons our own citizens who aro aiding in the deliverance of the island. Wo quote from his letter to show how ho would qualify any notion by our Govern ment in that direction “I was distinct in tho expression of my opposition to wur with Spain ou the part of tho United States, ovon for tho deliverance of Cuba, as well as my oppo sition to this Government’s doing any thing that would justify Spain in going to war against tho United States for what they might do in tho promises.” Tub report of Superintendent Fleming, of the Alabama ami Chattanooga Railroad, makes a very unpromising exhibit of its business, past and prospective, and indi cates that tho Stato of Alabama, by en dorsing its bonds 6o liberally, has gotten “an elephant on her hands.” Major Fleming reports tho earnings of tho road, from Nov. 1, 1872, to Nov. 1, 1878, at $232,584, while tho*cxpeuses were $1,- 083,858. Ho thinks that tho earning can not 1)0 relied upon either to place the work in proper condition or to keep it in operation for any great length of time. He estimates tho present population along tho line of tho road as only sufficient to ftivo it earnings of $2,588 per milojpor an num, nud says that the average gross earnings of Southern railroads is $4,350 per mile. So he concludes that “tho A und C. R. R. will yield no return upon the investment, until completed and equipped as a first-class railroad, and a sufficient time thereafter has elapsed to develop its mineral w ealth, and confidence in restored iu its permanent operation.” He estimates that it will require $1,500,- 000 tnoro to equip it as a first-class rail road. Tho Stato of Alabama certainly “paid too much for the whistle" iu endorsing tho bonds of the company building this roaft to the amount of threo or four mil lions of dollars. Gen. .Grant is said to have made, on Friday evening last, to a party of Repub licans who called on him, some remarks significant of his purpose to leave tho Southern people free hereafter to manage their domestic polities iu their own way. The following is n report which dispatches of Saturday give of his remarks : “I begin to think that it is time for the Republican party to unload. There has been too much dead weight carried by it. The sacoesa of our arms during the re bellion and the confidence that the Re publican party was strong enough to hold up any burden, have imposed all the dis affection in the Gulf States on the admin istration. I urn tired of this nonsense. THE THIRD NOMINATION. We confess to almost utter ignorance of tho services, antecedents and qualifica tions of Gen. Grant’s third nominee for the Chief-Justiceship, Hon. Morrison A. Waite, of Ohio. No doubt a similar con fession has been made by men who claim for themselves a largo sharo of public notoriety ; for, whatever may be his qual ifications, Mr. Waito is certainly not a man “whom not to . know argues ono’s self unknown." Still ho may be a man better fitted for the high position than any of tho politicians to whom public ex pectation turned after tho withdrawal of Mr. Cushing. Even hU want of political notoriety gives us hope that his nomina tion will bo found one fit to be made and to be confirmed. It is not in tho arena of party politics or in legislative halls that men’s minds are inducted into those bnnuels of study and thought and train ed to those habits of severe and impartial analysis that fit them for tho highest judi cial positions. Iu fact, activo participa tion in the lulu party contests iu this country must have rather disqualified than fitted men for such positions. It is at least gratifying and assuring to us that Gon. Grant did not select an ac tive and unscrupulous partisan for tho Chief-Justiceship. While yielding to the clamor agaiuat Cushing personally, he ap pears not to have ministered to tho spirit iu which tho clamor was raised. Ho withdrew Cushing, but did not, as Cush ing's opponents demanded, nominate n man who had made a public record of his determination to sustain upon the bench all tho measures of the Government relat ing to tho settlements of tho war and tl e reconstruction of the Southern States. In other words, Mr. Waito is not committed, so far ns tho country knows, to the ad ministration of tho supremo law of tho laud and tho construction of tho Consti tution in accordanco with tho views and interests (if politicians, rather thun jurist having for his guide tho settlod priuciplos of jurisprudence and tho funda mental law of the land. To secure an im partial judiciary, we must havo judges untrammelled by party and uncommitted by prejudice, and if Mr. Waito is free iu this respect, it is one great consideration in his favor.

During tho pust two days tho city has beou full of excitement and minors over tho terriblo failure of the Tullnssoo manu facturing company. Various propositions have boon made, and n vast amount of violent speaking indulgod. There appears to havo been threo separate nud'indepen dent interests—first, tho old stockholders; second, tho now stockholders; and, third, tho creditors of tho Tullasseo company. Tho denunciations by sumo of tho latter of tho former, nro said to havo boon more forcible than elegant. It was rumored yesterday that a proposition had been sub mitted by tho creditors to tho company, represented by tho President and Board of Directors, and that tho latter had agreed to accept it. This proposi tion seems to bo a good one for the cred itors, but it is a hard oue on tho stock holders, who will ultimately be able to realize only about forty cents on tho dol lar for their stock 1 It will bo especially hard on tho new stockholders. This agreement, as we learn, is somewhat after this fashion: The Tullasseo factory is valued at $900,000. Tho stock is to bo limited to $ 1,100,000. Tho creditors nro to tako stock at par for their debts—scal ing the old stock so as to meet said in debtedness. Josiuli Mortis is to bo ap pointed trustee to run tho Tallassoo fac tory for six months, or until tho settle ment is made. There is to bo an auditing board or committee, to bo composed of Messrs. Sayre, Clopton and Herbort, to whom nil churns against tho company shall bo referred and audited. It is supposed that, it will tako several months to audit the claims, and until they aro iu, the factory w ill bo run by the trusteo for the joint benefit of all con cerned. Tho new stockholders, wo un derstand, aro practically left out of the arrangement. If they go into this plan of adjustment their stock is scaled to forty or fifty conts in the dollar; if they keep out, they have to get their rights at tho end of u lawsuit. Wo havo not heard whether any or all of them have made their choice iu tho matter. There aro any numhor of reports in circulation. Somo are to the effect that tho hooks at Tallassoo Factory show a profit of $39,000, while the books hero show au indebtedness of $750,000 ; that some creditors, claiming $150,000, nro shown by tho books to bo indebted to the factory to the amount of $273,000 ; that the indebtedness was created by watering the stock aud borrowing money to pay dividends ; that cotton futures are tho cause of the trouble—and much more of the same sort. But no thorough investi gation of tho books has been had, and of course nothing dotiuito eau ba known as to tho cause of the trouble. All are ngroed that tho factory has made money, but what has become of it, is not so easy of solution. It was rumored, late last night, that somo of tho stockholders would not con sent to tho above agreement ; and if this be so, tho ond is not yet. 0»0-» One Thing the (•rmiK'orN have Done. They have broken tho power aud com binations of pork packers. They stalled out the j»ast fall as they did tho fall bo lero, to buy pork at about throe dollars— expecting again to get double tho price when they sold ns they did last year. But tho grangers were too sharp for thorn this time. They said, rather than sell at theso low figures wo will pack our own pork. So all over the West tho grangers combined,{determined to pack unless they could get what their pork was honestly worth. Fork came in slow, not fast enough to meet the demands of the pack- ors. 'i ho grangers wont to putting up their owu pork. The packers became alarmed and thought they had better make smaller profits, and so commenced offering higher prices. The grangers were firm, resolute and insisted ou fair prices, aud the packers were compelled to pay them. The result is, perk to-day is worth from $4 25 to $5 75 per huudred instead of $3. The farmers have tri umphed over the combinations to wrong men. Millions more of dollars have been saved to them thau otherwise would havo been. They needed the money, aud havo got it. They were entitled to it, and have got only what was their due. The farmers cau combiue ou a larger and grander scale than any other class, when it becomes necessary.—St. Louis Hural. What the Red Sea Fish Thought.— “There is u tendency iu these days,” said Beecher in a recent * evoning s sermon, “to account naturally for the passage of the Children of Israel through the Red Sea. Now, I like these old stories, aud I SPEECH OF GENERAL RORDON, Oil the Financial Problem. Washington, January 20.— Mr. Gordon, of Georgia, said : When, in an agricultural country like tho United States, the cultivation of the soil ceases to bo remunerative ; when its profits, year by year, are absorbed by others than the tillers of the soil ; whtAi the producers grow poorer and poorer, aud tho non-producers rich ; when wealth concentrates in tho hands of a few, then there is a fundamental error iu onr finan cial system. When, in an agricultural country like ours, au inconsiderable num- of citizens possess the power to divert from tho ordinary channels of trade a sufficient amount of tho circulating me dium to raise prices and esaae panics, there is some radical wrong. Or, when the price paid for the use of the circula ting medium is so excessive as to be above the profits of tho producer, then tho system of our currency needs attention. He argued that it was a fact tho cultiva tion of the soil was not remunerative, and the price paid for the use of tho circula ting medium was far in excess of tho profits of tho producer. Wealth dissemi nated itself less and less, and tho power of concentrating money increased this wealth—had only to will, and tho value expanded or diminished it—had but to stretch forth its hands, and tho wheels of industry came to a stand-still. If this condition of Affairs should continue, the day is not remote when concentrated money will dictute tho profits on every industry aud enterprise iu tho country. It will dictate legislation to be had in both wings of the Capitol, as it. does now in some of tho Stutes. Why were these things true in a country ho now, so vast as ours? Lot the apologists of an unfortu nate system explain as they may, it is still true. Tho evil could be remedied by Congress, aud all this trouble avoided in future. In tLo multiplicity of conflicting plans, how was it to be determined which plan would give relief to the country ? Every theory must bo tested by tho expe rience and history of other countries, and any plan not supported by that tost of ex- porienco must perish. IIo opposed a speedy return to spocio payment, but did not desire to bo under stood as opposing it when it should bo consistent with tho interests of tho pro ducing classes of the country. Any day that Congress might set for a return to specio payment would not relievo tho country. It was not just, not practica ble, not expedient to adopt such a plan. Should we contract, or should we give to to tho country more currency? To his mind, supported as ho was by experience and history, tho latter was the shortest, surest and easiest method. We cannot nay gold for greenbacks until we got gold, and we cannot get gold until wo bring it back to this country. We cannot got it till our exports bring it back to us —until wo increase our productions. To increase those productions wo must cheap en tho facilities, and tho facilities for cheap productions are first, choap money* IIo quoted from various authorities to show that England and Franco had a larger per capita circulation than the United States. If Congress would an nounce that it intended to give more money to the people, and give it flexibil ity, that very hour would briug relief to tho country and bring out millions of groeubacks now boarded up. Ho spoko of tiro wants of his section of country, and said ho believed there was more prosperity there when it took sixty dollars iu Confodorato money to buy one in gold in tho days of tho war. Was it the will of Congress to refuse to the peo ple this currency, which reason, history aud experience domand should bo fur nished? All the gold in tho universe could uot pay for tho property of the United States; hence onr money was good. If the gold should all bo banished from the country it would make no differ ence, provided wo had n currency univer sally recognized. Some of tho most beg garly countries in tho world wore those | whore they lmd nothing but spocio pay- j went—Spain aud MexLo, for instance— i while somo of the most prosperous coun tries of tho world wore those where j thero was a suspension of specie pay- I meat. Ho thought this effort of tho | Government to bring gold in the j country irrational, and only resulted in keeping gold out by stilling industry. Cheap money was what we wanted, aud lie hoped tho debt-burdened South and West would heed tho cry. High interest is a high indication of low prosperity. Tho South had but little over two dollars per capita circulation, aud that was not enough for the industries of that section. The South is poorer to-day than she was tho day after Loo surrendered at Appo mattox Court House. Unless this Con gress givos speedy relief, nothiug blit ruin and bankruptcy awaits the people there in tho near future. The ruling bunk interest in Georgia is ono and one-half per cent, a mouth, and that discounted from the face of the note und compounded every thirty or sixty days. What country on the face of the earth could stand such rates ? Give the people more money, and give that money elasticity. Ho hoped the day would come when we would issue money not fouuded on gold, but on the fuith of tho Govern ment, and receivable for all dues alike. Tiif.
