and at the same time to establish a small note cur
rency OF my own, redeemable in specie on demand
at my counter, and thus beat all the banks in the
country.
My plan IS this: An issue of small notes payable
in specie on demand Of l2a cents Is cents SO cents
o. and SO each, intended for city circulation and to
be taken in payment for Heralds, Chronicles, or ad-
vertisements the specie-the holders also to
have specie if they prefer it, Also, issue Of bills
of exchange of 49, 49, or $40 each, for circulation in
distant towns receivable in payment of subscriptions
as specie for my several newspapers or payable on
demand at my counter in specie at the will of the
holder.
The quantity of this currency will be limited to the
transaction of my own business which is now rapidly
augmenting both in subscriptions and advertising be-
yond any newspaper establishment in the United
States issue, every week, over one hundred and
fifty thousand printed sheets throughout the world.
My advertising is getting to be very large while that
of every other paperis diminishing.
New thefoodofpaperrags with which our city inun
dated very injurious to trade general and some per-
ought take the lead in devsng new and sound
currency for his alone, until Congress the
Legislature will act on the subject My purpose is
simply to establish, sufficient merely for the transac-
lion of my own business, wholesome email note
currency based on specie payable on demand, or
ceivable for newspapers and advertisements at the
will of the holder. BY issuing such a currency, for
my alone and not for the public do not interfere
with the restraining law which is only intended for
those who bank altogether, but is even daily invaded
by the emissions Of the rag banks Of New England.
My receipts per week nearly $780, great part
of in specie. But within the last fortnight specie
has begun to disappear The flood Of small bills
from New England is draining of our specie small
change and unless plan is adopted we shall not
have $1,000 in circulation in three months.
When my plan is ready for operation, shall then
issue a specie circular, dscrediting all rag paper
money and opening the way for the appearance of a
wholesome currency. This is the only way to pre-
serve the little specie that among us from being
taken away by the swindling banks of New England.
II have collected together several original and
amusing anecdotes birth, history, rise and pre-
sent condition and health of John Haggery g. Sons.
In few days shall be ready to publish them with
very favorable notes and comments thereupon Old
John is, understand, very savage against me-but
il is entirely unmerited my part. He has not
dearer friend in the world than arm, is there any
one that will go farther to serve himshort of going
to the devil. He was savage for my trial last week,
but out of pity to his health, had it put off order
10 give him time ts cool.
The young Haggertes are very amiable young men
have not much brains-but nothing the worse for
that. They speak always kindly and politely of me
calling me "a damned rasca'-"a hell of vags-
bond"-"a puful ANIMAL an internal VILLAIN
and such like candy polished phrases which they
picked up in their fashionable European tour and for
which am very much obliged to them.
begin to think that John Haggerty got up the in
dctment against me, for publishing his name by mis-
take merely ont of kindness, and persists in il from
Christian spirit. Now, Messrs Burns Il Hailibur-
ton and Davis & Brooks, very sukly Withdrew their
complaints, and declared that they did not believe
| had any malice in the publication Like Billy Black,
John Haggsty "never gives nothin' up" He says
| "Pll be damned If do any such thing" He wants
me to pay the damages he had TO pay in 1881, for
! slnndering Mr. Furnlss. Now, if John will be gen
teman-present his bill, and give halfof it
to the sweet seamstresses egad I'll pay up, in ad
vance, like an honest man, deducting the discount for
cash, and save him the trouble Of going TO law, or
making Judy Of himself and his amiable sons.
| Come, come John Haggerty-no nonsense-dont
| be running your hard head against mine, which Is
| harder-or hang me if / don't make your eyes see
thunder and lightning before your banks resume spe-
/ Gle payments.
A RELIGIOUS EFrERvkscEScE.-Yeste rday several
| clergymen made illusions to the account gave on
Saturday Of the proceedings of the Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly held at Philadelphia, and also Of the
| Catholic Council at Baltimore. Their congregations
however were SO much engaged in crI,icsing each
others dresses looks and appearance that they had
no time to notice the illusions but had friends be-
meath the pulpit whe see all, hear ALL all and tell
all.
! Ii is quite a curious study TO lounge a sofa and
hear the remarks that daily made on the boldness
honesty, nrepidty and good sense Of the course we
! follow Some curse, some bless, stare,
advise, some wonder, some are puzzed-yct all are
ngitated with new though and awakened to a
existence. There are many reigionsts who would
burn us at the stake if they could--but take
careto have all the women, the beautiful ones,
side we care nothing for the savages and barbarans
Ii is curious fct yet true to the etter,--that ono
hall of the Christian clergy of the present day-of
every sect-are unbeevers in the very doctrines they
teach More inidels can be found nominally eagu ed
with rcg on than ten times the fools Of that way Of
thinking in the land. great many Of the clergy
merely profess belief certain mysteries and doc
trines for the sake Of living. The and genuine
