FRANCIS. PRINCE OF JoINvIIJE

The French eofba,tle-ship Hercules of 81
guns and corvette arrived in Hampton Roads
from Havana on Monday last, having on board as
officer the Prince OF JoINvrLLE, who landed al
Norfolk on the same day. left on Tuesday, and atten-
ded by several French officers, arrived in this city
on Thursday afternoon, via. Richmond in the mail

The young Prince, the third son. and sixth child
Of Louis Philippe, King Of the French, was born
Nth Oct 1918, aad is therefore about the same age his
royal sire was when driven into exile by the French
Revolution, he landed on our shores-but with what
different feelings and with the perspective of what
different future Truth is indeed strange-stran-

THE RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAY
MENTS IN NEW YORK.

This event was hailed as the arrival Of the
millennium by the Sub-Treasury advocates in
both houses of Congress. Some of the New
York city papers looked on and represented it
as the lever of Archimedes, that was to force
all the other banks into an immediate resump-
ton. Also, some of them sarcastcally taunt-
ed the less credulous about the "ruin of
resumption"
The Journal Of Commerce Of Monday last
thus remarked: >.
eff New York had not resumed distant banks
would have felt themselves let loose to expand ac-
cording 10 their own fancy; but resumption here has
made obvious that they also must speedily resume
or be marked off as bankrupt. They have therefore
at set their faces towards resumption, and this
il is which has disappointed the representations OF
the grumblers, and more than verified all the hopes
of the advocates of resumption. The following Ia
Bile shows how much good resumption here has al
ready done to the internal exchanges"
Gambling in stocks has been carried on In
New York to nearly as great an extent as at
any one period heretofore. Some advancing
and per cent. daily; when 10! and behold,
on Thursday last, a panic seized the operators,
and stocks took tumble. Some fell within
an hour, /, 2, and per cent. And says the
Journal of Commerce of that day, " Southern
exchanges are getting toorse."
All sound political economists have looked
upon this boasted prosperity that succeeded
the resumption in New York, as altogether
artificial, and merely ephemeral. It's utter
ly impossible for any one city to resume spe-
Gle payments singly, and extend to business
those facilities that are called for to secure a
return of permanent prosperity, as it would be
for single bank among community of
banks to resume alone; and continue to ex-
tend to all its customers the same facilities it
could if it did not resume, or that it could if all
the other banks, simultaneously resumed with
Until the other banks generally, are enabled
to resume, it is idle for any one to suppose, it
will be in the power of the New York banks,
so to extend their business, as to produce any
lasting benefits to the business of the country
or the city.
Those who endeavor to impress the public
with contrary belief, do but encourage hope
to be disappointed.
The Government has but to abandon its
Sub-treasury policy and hostile attitude to-
wards the banks, and then they can and will
resume generally, with safety to themselves
and with permanent benefits to the business Of
the country. ..-
So long as New York occupies the position
she now does, in our opinion, she will be SUBJ
Ject to frequent exctements ofhope and alarm,
attended with ruinous advances and declines
in prices.

and most exalted patriot to be found In the
Republic II was but few months since
these presses hailed the accession to their
ranks Of the great southera ieader with /" Joy
AND GRATITUDE.
But, how has this extraordinary alliance
been effected! Has Mr. Calhoun come over
10 the side Of his old revlers No. They
have gone over to him They have adopted
the schemes which he and his conEederates
originated in lS34-and have united with
him, and under his lead to carry them out.
But what does this very consistent party
hope for; what success do they fatter them
selves with, under such leader! Have they
forgotten the character that they ascribed to
Mr.. Calhoun in January, 1882 We will re-
fresh their recollection by placing ii before
them. Said the Globe: "HE is A FAIL
ING POLITICIAN AND SUCCEEDS
IN NOTHING" Heis in the "sere and yei-
lop leaf" This was more than five years ago.
Has Mr.. c. renewed the verdurc of his foliage
since then! We suspect not We imagine
that " the party who have gone over to him
will find that he is still in the serc and yellop
Leaf" and that he is still g failing politician"
and, with him they are doomed to experience
signal failure in all their destructive schemes
against the best interests of the country and
the permanency of its institutions
Their next move we may expect will be
a coalition with Mr.. Biddle and the United
States Bank They have abused him now
nearly as long as they did Mr.. Calhoun.
When they have failed with that gentleman,
then Mr. Biddle will be held up as the great
est Of patriots by them, and will be their cho-
senl leader, whose acquisition will be hailed
with "joy and gratitude !" This is Loed.fo

MIR. CALHOUN AND THE sUB-TREA-
SURYITES.

For seven years Mr. Calhoun was the OBJ
iect upon whom an incessant fire was poured
out from the Globe; down to the smallest and
most obscure of the by-authority presses
He was "Catiline," "a traitor" "a revo-
lutionist," indeed, he was stigmatized with
almost every epithet the vocabulary furnishes,
to excite and exasperate the public mind
against him.
These allegations were either true or false.
If true, what has Mr.. Calhoun done that has
washed and purified him Of all those sins thus
charged upon him. These very same press
es' commencing with the Globe, now present
MIR. Calhoun before the world as the purest
