The Value of Greenbacks.
The value of greenbacks, and whether they
are legal tender, has been decided so variously
in different sections of the country, that it is
getting to be an interesting question. In Louis
ville, Ky., recently, a man was arraigned for
stealing a $5 note on one of the National
Banks. His counsel argued that the act did
not amount to grand larceny, for the following
reasons : Ist, that it requires a valuation of $4
in gold or silver to constitute grand larceny ;
2d, that it is not grand larceny if the amount
stolen is less than $4 in the legal currency of
the State, recognized and existing at the time
of the passage of the act; 3d, that the face
value of the note stQlen is only prima facie
evidence of its value, which can be set aside by
rebutting testimony; and 4th, that the genuine
ness of the bill and the existence of the bank
must be proven. The Judge overruled the ex
ceptions, but the counsel for the prisoner took
exceptions to the ruling, and filed grounds for
anew trial.
Per contra , here is another case, which oc
curred in San Francisco, California : A gambler
named Ed. Whipple, one of the proprietors of
an extensive faro bank, was arrested for gaming.
He was tried before a jury in the county court,
convicted and fined SI,OOO, with the alternative
presented him of going to jail till the fine
should be paid. He tendered the fine in green
backs, and the clerk, under instructions from
the judge, refused to receive them, claiming
gold. Whipple chose to go to jail, and test the
court’s right to compel him to pay gold. He
was taken before Judge Dwindle, of the Fif
teenth District Court, on a writ of habeas cor
pus, where the question was discussed in all its
bearings. The court decided that he had to
pay his fine in gold coin or go to jail.
In this latter case we certainly have a practi
cal nullification of the law of Congress making
greenbacks a “legal tender.’*

The National Debt. —The national debt, in
round numbers, is three thousand millions,
which, divided among thirty millions of people,
is about one hundred dollars a head; the State
debt is about fifty-one millions, which, divided
among four millions of people, is nearly thirteen
dollars per head; and our city debt is forty-one
millions, or about forty-one dollars per head.
This makes a total of one hundred and fifty-four
dollars a head for each man, woman and child
in the city of New York. As not over one per
son in six is a laborer, or creator of wealth, it
follows that each actual producer is saddled
with a debt of one thousand dollars, upon which
he must pay interest for the rest of his life.
The prospect is not a pleasant one for the labor
ing classes.— New York World.
Underground Railways. —A recent number
of the London Engineer describes as follows the
underground Railway in operation in that city:
Among our railway systems, the Metropolitan
is sui generis. It is unique in its mode of con
struction, in the district it serves, and in its
working. At the top of the list in mileage,
traffic receipts, and, we may almost add, in the
value of its shares. It is peculiar, inasmuch as
the whole of the line is constructed under the
metropolis, many portions of it passing unuer
densely populated districts and busy thorough
fares. The number of passengers it conveys is
perfectly enorthous. In the last half year, the
persons carried on the Metropolitan were 7,462,-
823, that is, two and a half times the population
of London. The mere increase in the number
of passengers conveyed in the last as compared
with the preceding half year, was equal the
united populations of a score of the next largest
cities and towns in England, including Man
chester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Newcastle, etc.
Telegraph Round the World. — A letter from
the Russian telegraph expedition on the Pacific
coast, dated December 4th, says :
.During the past season the vessels of the fleet
have been kept busy and have accomplished
much to further the progress of the great work.
Exploring parties have been landed at various
points along the American and Asiatic coasts,
soundings have been made in Behring’s Straits
with satisfactory results, and much valuable in
formation gained relative to the character of
the country in the interior. Thus far every
thing has proceeded with the utmost care and
caution, and the result is that last seasons’
operations have been a complete success. By
the time the fleet again approaches the northern
ports the explorations will, in all probability,
be completed, so that constructing parties can
enter the countries at different points and push
the work forward with great rapidity.
Emigration to the South.— lt is stated that
there are at present agents in New York, from
various parts ol the South, who have been sent
there by land owners and corporations in the
Southern States, for the purpose of inducing em
igrants from Europe to go”to the South. Poor
and destitute emigrants are furnished with free
passage, and during the past few weeks several
batches of emigrants, mostly Germans and
Swedes, have been forwarded to various points
in the South—to Memphis, Charleston and Sa
vannah. A party of about fifty, who had just
landed, were forwarded to the South on Satur
day last, and about cne hundred and fifty left
New York for the same destination the Saturday
previous. The Southern agents hope to divert
emigration and travel from the West to she
South, on account of the high rates of fare on
the Western railroads, which, it seems, were
raised to the present high standard during the
late war. The poorer classes are unable to pay
these high rates. Quite a number of Germans
—mechanics, artisans, waiters, etc., —have re
cently gone from New York to New Orleans.
The emigration to the South has only just been
commenced, and by the aid of the above men
tioned Southern scheme, is expected soon to in
crease. '
Judge Trigg, of East Tennessee, recently de
cided that paroles given to the Confederate
armies have not been binding since the close of
the war, not being equivalent to pardons.
General Sherman has been invited to Wash-,
ington to confer with General Grant on the sub
ject of the new army bill.
Cotton Wastage.— About, one hundred of
the Cotton Factors of New Orleans have enter
ed into a mutual agreement and obligation in
order to protect the interest of and discharge
their duty to their patrons, not £o consent that
cotton brokers or their employees, cotton presses
or their employees, or cotton weighers, or their
employees, shall appropriate to their use or
benefit such portion of cotton drawn from bales
in the process of classing or sampling as is com
monly called “ loose cotton.” Believing, ,a s
they do, that the said “loose cotton” rightfully
belongs to the owner or shipper of cotton, they
are determined to resist any demands to the
contrary.
The Naturalization Bill.— The following is
the text of the bill to amend the naturalization
laws, now pending in Congress :
“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Ameri
ca, in Congress assembled, That all the acts of
Congress relating to naturalization be and the
same are hereby amended by striking out,
wherever they occur, the words ‘ being a free
white person,’ and the words ‘free white,’ and
the words ‘ a free white person,’ so that in the
matter of naturalization there shall be no dis
tinction as to race or color.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That all
persons born, or hereafter to be born, within
the limits and under the jurisdiction of the
United States, shall be deemed and considered,
and are hereby declared to be citizens of the
United States and entitled to all rights and priv
ileges as such.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That noth
ing in this act contained shall be construed so
as to allow the naturalization of any members
of the Indian tribes ”
Sumner and his followers in Congress appear
to be determined to leave “no stone unturned”
to carry their ends. May they be defeated in
all their ultra plans.
The Southern States to be “ forever” ex
cluded.—Able and eloquent speeches against
negro suffrage were delivered recently, by Mr.
Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, in the Senate, and
by Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. John
L. Thomas, of Maryland, in the House. The
speech of Mr. Thomas, of Maryland, was an
exceedingly brilliant production, founded upon
sound argument and supported by the most
cogent reasoning. He showed that the confer
ring of negro suffrage upon the negroes of the
District, would be the opening wedge to the as
sumption by Congress, of the power to force
negro suffrage upon all the States. That this
is the design of the Radical party in Congress,
is evident from what Mr. Shellabarger of Ohio
said in his speech a few days ago. He boldly
took the ground that Congress had absolute
powers of legislation over all the Southern
States, and argued that their representatives
ought to be kept out of Congress until those
States had adopted negro suffrage. He then
said: “If I were asked, How long will you keep
the Southern States out of Congress, if you
cannot secure that condition of peace ? I would
sorrowfully, but inexorably, answer, “For
ever !” A cheerful prospect, truly.
Bill for the Enlargement of the Freed
men’s Bureau. —This bill for the enlargement
of the Freedmen’s Bureau is now under discus
sion in Congress. The bill which comes, it is
understood, from General Howard, provides for
the continuance of the Bureau until abolished
by act of Congress and its extension to refugees
and freedmen in all the States.
The fourth section provides for the setting
apart of the public lands, to the extent of three
millions of acres of good land, in Florida, Ar
kansas, and Mississippi, for the use of freedmen
and loyal refugees, to be rented to each in par
cels of not more than forty acres. At the
termination of the lease the occupants may pur
chase a title, in fee, with the consent of the
Commissioners. If the bill passes, we shall
have a Liberia in three of the Southern States.
The seventh section of the .bill puts the freed
men under the protection of the General Gov
ernment, making it the duty of /the President
to protect them against the operation of State
laws that make discriminations on account of
color.
Labor and Taxation. —The Round
Table argues that in order to pay the na
tional debt and the increased expenses of
the government consequent upon the war,
we shall all be compelled to work about
three hours daily for the government, or a
corresponding amount will be subtracted
from our compensation; and that instead of
cutting a day’s work down to eight hours, we
shall be inevitably obliged to increase it to
12 or 14 hours. The Round, Table predicts
these three effects of the national debt:
1. To create a small class of extremely
wealthy men.
2. To reduce the great mass of the well
to-do and moderately wealthy to the present
status of working people.
3. To increase the hours of labor, reduce
the compensation, and deteriorate the gen
eral condition of the laboring classes.
The Western Hog Trade.— The re
ceipts of hogs at Cincinnati, so far this sea
son, reach 165,041 head, against 230,346
during the same time last year. The Cin
cinnati Price Current of Wednesday says :
The receipts of hogs during the week have
been rather better than they were the pre
vious week, but the market has been weak
and prices declined 50 per cent, closing weak
at $lO 25@510 50 net. The business of
packing hogs in this city this season, so far,
is behind that of any previous season since
1850, so that the manner in which ho"s
have been kept back this season is without
precedent in the history of trade, and there
fore it is not surprising that it should attract
attention, but the Western packers and deal
ers know full well that the hogs are in the
country still, though probably not to the ex
tent of last year’s crop in number, yet fully
up to it in pounds. For, in case there should
be a deficit of 500,000 in number, which
we regard doubtful, the increase in weight
will fully make up for this. : ° .'
One hundred thousand dollars of the new frac
tional currency is now ready to be issued.

DELEGATES TO THE GENERAL CON

The time for making the collection to de
fray the expenses of delegates to the Gene
ral Conference is drawing near. The service
being for the church, there can be no doubt
that the church is willing to pay the money
if the opportunity be presented. '
It is not probable that any charge will feel
able to give much for this purpose. It is
therefore, the more necessary that the col
lection be general. We mention it thus
early to give opportunity to the preachers
to give notice of the collection, in all their
congregations. 4 W
