becomea bank aristocrat; from this it would
seem Tat democratic principles, like derang-
ed currency, is somewhat fuctuating.
Mr.. Chairman, experience, which is the
most u,erring Of all human guides, one truth
tested ~ which is worth thousand theories,
has taught us that credit is plant of delicate
characer, and cannot, with safety, be rudely
handled; it must be touched as cautiously as
YOU would touch the sensitive plant. Often
has tho soundest credit, with the most ample,
although not Immediately available means,
withersd and sunk beneath the breath Of un-
lust and unwarranted suspicion. No credit,
and no credit system can be sustained, with
out confidence is its very es-
sence, and whenever withdrawn, whether
Justly or not, seriously affects it. The bank
ing institutions Of the country are sustained
entirely by confidence, without it their notes
would have no circulation, and they would
not be able to conduct their business profita-
bly,. Want of confidence, then, or withdraw
al Of existing confidence, must, in the nature
of things, greatly prejudice these institutions,
and derange and embarrass their operations.
The recommendation of the President and
the Secretary Of the Treasury to discontinue
the present deposite system, and the receipt
Of the notes Of the banking institutions, is
based upon the allegation that these institu-
tons have been unfaithful to their high obi
gslions, and therefore not worthy of continued
confidence. The present suspension OF spe-
ce payments and its consequences, is the
gound upon which this recommendation is
founded. propose, Mr.. Chairman, briefly
to examine whether the present condition OF
the banks, both as relates to their ability to
meet all their liabilities, and the propriety Of
tie suspension Of specie payments, justify
ills charge, and the entire withdrawal of pub
lie confidence. That the deposite banks will
be able to redeem all their liabilities, and that
al no very distant period, is very manifest,
not only from the report Of the Secretary of
tae Treasury, but from their actual condition
a. ascertained and reported TO this House.
After the cautious and rigid scrutiny institute
ell into the condition of the State Banks when
they were about TO be selected, suppose II
will not be doubted, that the selected banks
were entirely responsible, and in high credit.

in which the public money was deposited,

A great diversity Of opinion exists, as may
be observed by the result Of the vote, in re-
gard to the policy Of Withholding this install
ment. Many think it would be more seri-
GUS inconvenience to the states to withhold,
than it would be for the Government to issue
Treasury notes, or borrow money to the
amount of the instalment, which is nine mil
lions. The people Of several Of the states,
expecting it would be paid over at the time
appointed by the law, have made appropria-
tons, and entered into obligations in various
forms and for various purposes, founded upon
that expectation.
We regret the necessity which calls for
the issue of Treasury notes As they must
be issued, however, the more the better for
the present time. They will doubtless go
abroad in liquidation of the foreign debt; be
used al home for the purposes Of transmits
sion, and, as Ear as they can be made, to sup
ply the place Of bank paper, will enable the
banks 70 diminish their circulation without
inconvenience to the community, and very
greatly facilitate the resumption of specie
payments.

/ Correspondence Of the Herald

SAvANNAH, Jan. Zb 1887.
Yesterday afternoon the steamboats, Georgia and
Charleston arrived this port from Charleston with
about 400 volunteer troops, under the command OF
Major Harlee, destined for Florida. They fine
Of fellows, and their spirits admirably cacu-
lated for the work they have undertaken. They left
this city at six o'clock this morning, taking with
them several individuals who volunteered here.
The latest news from Florida is not of much i'm
portance. The Indians have separated with small
bands, and have commenced again destroying pro-
perry in the neighborhood of Picolata. Powell was
unwelI but has recovered, and has again Joined Mco-
nov with his warriors amounting to about 300
They have all gone SOUTH and presumed will rest
upon their arms for a short period It's feared that
the Indian war will be continued for long time to
come.
The effort Mr.. John q. Adams has made in Con-
Dress TO introduce his abolition petitions, has again
aroused the feelings of the south. Every northerncr
who comes to the south is looked upon with Jealous
eye. A Quaker preacher WHO came from Phadel-
pha few days ago appeared asevera ofthe churches
TO preach, but was refused. The reason was asked
and he was informed that the Quakers, Friends
they are called, generally were in favor of abolition,
and therefore he or any OF them, could not be per
miited to preach in any of the churches. This
thought was hard, but doubt just. IL the north
continues in its unholy work. il will require but
short time to dampen and destroy all those fine feel
inps of brotherly love which should bind the states
together in one lndssoluble UNION Inc people OF the
south nre generous and high minded. They know
their righis-and knowing, will MAINTAIN them. The
north may have the power to niiict wrong, but
they impose it, the best blood of the country would
freely flow before the south would submit.
You have already seen the effect of the northern
fanatics. Georgia, which but a short time ago
undoub,edly in favor of Martin Van Buren,, hasindig-
nan,ly cut him of, and given her vote for state
rights candidate, simply because they suspected him
of being tainted with treason-otherwse abolition. II
was the popularity Of Gen. Glasscock, which carried
the Jackson" Congressional ticket through Since
that period two elections have taken place for mem
bers OF Congress TO fill vacanclesboh have resulted
in the election Of state rights men, or they mere
properly called nullhers. OF this ! am glad. II
shows wholesome feeling, and will teach the north
that forbearance on part of the SOUTH has ceased
to be a virtue.

shadows of my travels NAro.

the first time at the Park theatre. The earlier
scenes Of this play somewhat heavy; the latter

impossible to speak too highly. From the moment

her acting ceased-it was natural Her description
of her earlier joys, unclouded by sorrow, lie most
touching-her death the most effective ever wit
