He in probably at well ««-H0 Ht'RSI III most RECEIVED UNLESS PAID FOR IN ADVANCE. Tub Montgomery Ledger boasts that there is not a roporter ou the chain gnnjj in that city. This goes simply to provo tho truth of what wo have steadily main tained as to tho utter incfllcioncy of Ala bama jnstico. The Havnnnah Herald congratulates one of its young friends, who was married about a yoar ago, on tho fact that ho is now “occupying tho singularly blissful and responsible position of parent.” The “singularity" of tho ovent is the only thing that claims our attention. Tup. Chattanooga Times of Sunday re ports an ad van co in corn to 78j(« 74 cents on tho wharf, 77<6>78o. in depot, ami thinks it will bo worth over 80 cents iu the depot beforo tho close of this wook. This is a bad report for our cotton plnnters. Hut wo hope that thoy are all so arranging that they will not sulfor on account of the high price of corn next year. Chaplain Sunderland, of the Unitod Staton .Senate, is roportod as having “amended” ono of his late prayers, aftor dolivory, by having tho words “and tho Vico President" added to tho tolographic vorsion of his supplication in behalf of tho l'rosidont of tho United States.’ Now the question occurs to us as pertinent, To xchoin was tho official Chaplain pray ing? DtmiNo tho panio last fall wo wore all anxious for the President to cull an extra sossion of Congress to tako notion on tho iinaueo question. Thu extra session was not callod, and then wo bccamo anxious for Congress to meot, for our hopes lay in their ability to aid us. Well they have boon in sossion four months and they nro farther away from a solution of the finance quoslion to-day than ovor. Oliver Crom well, when ho dismissed tho famous Rump Parliament in his bold way, dispersed an nblor ami more useful body of men thau that which now retard tho uocessory legis lation in Washington. On Friday last tho IJ. H. Senate’s Com mittee on Public Lands hoard a delegation of tho Monnouitos from Pennsylvania and two from Russia, asking legislation to enable preparations to bo nmdo for the settlement iu this country of nomo forty thousaud Meidiouitcs now living in Rus sia, who uro obliged to omigrate from that country prior to the year lH81,orclso perform military sorvioo, which tho louots of their religion forbid. Tho committoo authorized Senator Windom, of Minneso ta, to prepare and report to tho Senate a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Inte rior to withdraw from public sale suuh largo trouts of land as they desire to oc cupy within tho next two years, oithor by homestead or pio-omptiou entry. The Catholics of (ho North aro forming tomperanoo organizations by tho legion. A noticeable feature of their parados ou St. Patrick's day wus tho uumhor of toru- perauoe societies, like an army with ban ners. Irolaud has sufTured ns much from whiskey us from misrulo, and tho nccopt- od typo of tho Irishman la a swaggering fellow in a chrome stale of somi-iuloxica- tion. Of courso this idea is incorrect. It will bo a bright epoch for Catholic Irish men when thoy ann colob rate tho natal day of their patron saint without increas ing the retail trade in liquor, utidtho mis ery of their wives and little ones on the oocasion. THU MIIIIAIIV. Many of tho noble heartod ladies who have taken so much intorost iu tho Libra ry have foil discouraged at tho unexpect ed obstacles thrown in their way at tho olovonthhonr from au unexpected quar ter. Nevertheless, they have boon most fortmmto in getting contributions for the supper, mid words of oboor from those who could not, from religious motives, take an active part iu tho uutortninmeut to-night. It is gratifying to know thoro was only one family that could have af forded it that gave an emphatic refusal to aid the Library, ami this without any re ligious reason, However, it was a simple consisteney, tho rovorso of which would liavo boon a surpiiso to us. Wo hnpo to sue the procoods oommunsuruto with tho uoooHHities of tho Library, and that all tbo gentlemen who can ooBBuientiouniy do so will bo ou hand to-night, and show that they appreciate the efforts of the ladies in this matter. EXCURSIONS. .a |‘ City Light Guards’ FIRNT t«mi any man in Congress, and his reputation is founded on liia great ability and tbo profound luiowlodge he brings to bear ou every subject which he considers. Judge Kelley has boon a sludoat all his life, and there is no man better qualified to givo an opinion on oar indaatrien and finances than ho. We find at this tiino that ho is bittorly opposod by jonrnals liko tho New York Herald, on account of his persistency in advocating that financial policy, which mods with bo little favor among tho capitalists of the East. Judge Kelley has never believed inflation remedy for the hard times that arc on 1 but it will be romombored he wan tho first public man to advocate the equilibrium to lie obtained by interchangeable bonds. This was last fall; and had his policy been acted on at onco, tho present stringency would have no existence. His idea brief ly was this : In the spring money drifts the great business centres like New York, and having no legitimate employment, it is drawn into the channels of speculation, and in such channels it was found locked last fall when needed to tnovo tho crops and for proper ontorpriso. The prosont system makes tho money market uncertain, and places it in tho powor of a few men in Now York to block all tho nvonnos of trade. Tho Govern ment should interfere, and legislate so as oquali/.o tho demand and supply of money. This con only be done by mak ing tho Unitod Stales bonds interchange- ublo for a ctirroncy at tho depositories throughout the country. The effoot would be to invest the curroncy in bonds in the spring, and thus keep money out of stock ventures by guaranteeing it a reasonable por cent., and by giving tho currency back for tho bonds when fall came and money w as neodnd for the business of the country nt tho timo. This plan has struck us ns wise and safe, and we| hoped it would be carriod out. Tho merits of the mis-cuilod iuilnliou scheme we liavo not studied carefully, but wo are satisfied of its necessity and wisdom—first, from the fuct of tho Southern and Western mem bers supporting it; and second, bocauso wo liavo a sublime faith iu tho wisdom and financial ability of a man who is as able as he is independent nnd honest. might be established st on^o if the cot ton, rice, tobacco at '1 ««v»! j,' c , South were pnrchaxeu ic»» government, and eitbeir shipped to foreign ports and sold, or hypothecated with Etiropi bankers.

REAL ESTATE ACENTS. 1C All., CONNECTICUT 1 Tho swooping Democratic victory Connecticut, ou Tuesday, loavoB no doubt of a groat popular reaction against the party in power. Indications such as tho Slate elections in New Hampshire and Counooticut, and tho lato town oloctions iu New* York, cannot bo mistaken. Tho Administration party inado powerful ef forts in both these New England States, ami yet wore badly bonbon in both, in that utroughold of Radicalism. Tho party maintained its strongth and supremacy in the face of its highhanded mode of deal ing with the South, but the “Credit Mo- hilior” rascality, uppoiutmonts Ruch as Simmons', with llioir implied sanction of official intermeddling in Stnto oloctions, tho Jayuo blnckmuiling, and tho Sanborn contracts, liavo proved too groat a “loud.” Tho Republican pnrty is staggering, and will find groat difficulty iu “rightiug" it self ngain. Connecticut, iu 1872, gave Grant 50,- 088, and Greeley 45,880 votos. In 1878, ings, ard one member to tho first pernio- n«nt Congress, fro'n Georgia, owed his I election to tub ndvocauy of this the Hon. Hines Holt, of Congressional District. Rut this cottou project received its death blow at the hands of another Georgian (General Toombs), sometime before Colonel Holt took his seat. Iu tho fall following tho opening of hostilities, money had become to be scarce in some sections of the country. Mississippi planters oomplain- od most loudly, declaring that they had no market for their cotton, nnd consequently no money to pay taxes. Ho when the Pro visional Congress commenced its last ses sion in tbo city of Richmond in Novem ber, this cotton project catne up for dis cussion. One morning tho Hon. Walker Brooku, of Mississippi, moved a resolu tion that tho Committee on Finance be requested to inquire into tbe practicability of reporting a bill requiring tho Govern ment to advance money to cotton planters ou their crops, and to take tho cotton ad vanced to ship abroad or to soil in order to raise money. When tho resolution was road at tbe Clerk's desk, Gon. Toombs, who was just leaving the hall, stopped, and turning around, addressed the Presi dent os follows: Mr. President—I desiro that this mo tion shall he discussed and disposed of ut once on its merits, and to that end I move to umond tho resolution by striking ont the word “reqnont" nnd inserting in lieu thereof the word “instruct," uud I desire to be beard on my amendment. At that time Goneral Toombs was a Brigadier General uud had just returned from the nriny. lie was dressed in a full suit of citizens' clothes, but hud a mili tary short cloak thrown over ono of his shoulders, and hold his hat in hiu hand. Ho was in tho prime of physical man hood and intellectual strength, and never looked more impressive uml commanding. Standing by his ohuir (desks were not nsod in tho Provisional Congress), ho at ouoo addressed himself to tho sulijact. Though it was a dry one, he garnished it around and about will) tlio most thrilling and eloquent Inngungo. Laying down his opposition to uuy, measure looking to lending tho public credit to the privute citizen, lie rapidly reviewed the conse quences which had followod #uoh meas ures in all couutrics whore the experi ment had boon mado. His speed) did not occupy inoro than thirty minutes, but it impressed the writer of theso lines,who has hoard some of his ablest efforts at tho bur, in tho Senate uud on the stump, that it wus tbe boat effort of his life. Referring to the statement that cotton was tho Btreugth and backbone of the Confederacy, he closed somewhat as fob lows : “But a few mouths since we wore told that 'cotton was king,’ and that at —AT- ““ Fort Mitchell, on M. & G.

Mr. Atkins, a member from Tonnosneo, entbusod by its jiowor nnd eloquence, rose from bis scat and re marked that bo would tie willing to die if Robert Toombs could bo chisoled ou tho monument which should mark his grave.

Wiley I\ Harris, both ublo mon, and tho resolution as amended failed. Tho Provisional Con- gross passed upon tho cotton project and disapproved it. Efforts were made to re suscitate it in various shapes, but thoy nover amounted to much. Ben Butler is reported to have receiv ed tho delegation of South .

Tho action of tho Unitod States Senate, on Mouday, may be regarded as deter mining tho fact that Cong rum will in- oronso the volunio of tlio currency at least ninety millions of dollars, for tho House is oven more decidedly in favor of ex pansion than tho Senate. This will pro cipitato tho contingency in which, no cording to tlw J Jerald, New York and tho New England States must secede. Wo iudulgo tho hopo that all of Now York will not go, for ton of the Representa tives from that State voted for tho House expansion bill. Tho rebellion will, then, probably bo confined to eastern New York and tho six New England States. Though it will bo sad to part with friends who havo for so long a timo stuck to us with tho per tinacity and affection of the “horse leech,’' wj thus early protest against any effort at coercion or subjugation. Wo will havo to import our own foreign goods, mako our “notions" at home, nnd manufacture in the South and West wind cotton wo cannot sell to Europe.

We will havo to got along without tho aid tlio first mau who broached tho plan which has caused so much discussion." Wo have not claimed any suoU thing. In our lato notice of this matter, we had two objoots in viow—first, to supplement Johnston’s opiuion of the policy that would havo saved tho Confederacy, by showing that it had advocatea in tho ourly Htngo of tho war; and second, to do justice to tho momory of a dooonsod friond, tho into Hon. lliues Holt. But ninco the Constitutionalist jiits its “imagination" against our memory, wo will now stnto that Col. Holt strongly advocated tho purchase of tho cotton crop by tho Confederate Government, with its Treasury not os, in communica tions published in tho Enquirer on tho llth nnd 12th of Juno, 1881, and ho sub sequently ran for Uougrosa and was oleotod upon this issue. If the Constitu tionalist has anything except its imagina tion to support its suggestion that Mr. Stephens “broached" .the plan of a Con federate curreuoy based upon cotton pur chased by it nnd hold for its redemjitiou, prior to Juno, 1881, let it givo us the oxact date,and it will then be timo enough for us to soo whether wo cannot find that tho Enquirer advocated it oven earlier.
