RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAY.
MENTS AT THE SOUTH.

We are glad TO see that the banks of
Charleston lead the way in restoring a
sound currency to the south. AS soon
as the passage of the Independent Trea-
sury bill was announced in that city, the
banks declared their resumption. 1t is
in the nature of things that the admins
tration of minor moneyed concerns must
follow that of the greater. A sound IL
nancial system in the government, will
necessarily draw after it sound curren-
CIV from the sOlucat banks. While the
standard oftrue value is resolutely main
tanned by a government, whose pecunia-
ry operations are felt every where
whose disbursements research the day la
borer, common soldieerSas well as the
highest officer, aud whose revenues flow
through almost every commercial chan
mel, it cannot be, but that the whole cred
it system, I'd obtain credit at all, must
command it through those means to which
alone the government gives credit. In
trinsic value must take the place of o flee
reality that ofspeculation--probity; care
full industry, strict, punctual, honorable
dealing, will take the place Of that mil
lionary avidit5, which looks upon the glo
ries of thatIgrand fnanciering, which
bloated up hundreds of thousands out 0
nothing, as the only thing in life to dis
tinguish a gentleman from the hTge-pa'C
ed farmer and mechanic.

1 agree with you In the views you express, Of
.he contest now going on between the Repubil-
can and Federal parties-the former, running
Mr.. Van Buren and the latter Gen. Harrison as
/ candidate for the Presidency, and that the oc-
casion calls for tho patriotic and determined eff
forts of the people to preserve the ascendency of
those great principles IN our system of Govern
ment, which it was the object of the revolution,
and the reform in 1900, Oestablish and preserve.
If the doctrines of the Federal party are not
now resisted, Mr.. Jefferson will have warned us
In vain against the dangers of consolidation, and
the people may lose before they are aware of IL,
the blessings of free government. Grant to the
Federalists the principles Of constructive powers,
and the constitution is no longer guarantee for
the rights and sovereignty of the States. The
discretion of Congress viii be substituted foF<he
checks and balances of a limited GovernmentI Ind
all the powers OF Legislation will at once be abb
Iorbed by that body. Against such doctrines, it
Is our duty to contend as the fathers Of the Re-
publican church have done before us, relying
upon the ejustee Of our cause, and never doubling

FEB Zo.-Ihe United States VS.. Geo. Ellison, in
d'cted along 'o'M taco Others Or eadeapor TO make
reroH.--It appeared from the testimony of Gideon
Alimay, lrst mate of the brig Norma, that in the
month OF August last that vessel was living in the
harbor OF Havana, ready to put sea- On the night
before they were to sail the crew got up sort of
frolic on board a the Of which two ofthe pr
soners had quarrel and engaged to fight the next
morning. At the time appointed, the mate interfered
to prevent the battle, and got knocked down, and
beaten himself
1t did not appear however, that the charge of
making a revolt made out, and the Jury acauit-
ted the prisoner.
George Scott and four others, were tried for an
endcavOr to make a revolt board the ship Sara
toga, in the harbor of New York, in the month Of
January last.
The case was clearly established by the testimony
Of MIR. Mitchell, the pilot of the vessel, and Mr..
Nash,t the prisoner cOun made no defence, where
upon the Court charged the Jury to find the prison
ers all guilty.
After the verdict had been recorded, Scott ad-
dressed the Court and said they had been abused by
the mate, and afterwards struck with a sword by
one of the military officers, who were going out to
Florida, in the Saratoga.
His Honor Immediately called the prisoners up
for Judgment and after featuring them the enor-
NIFTY OF their offence, he sentenced them to pay
fine Of 500 each and to be imprisoned for the term
OF five years, and further to stand committed until
the fine is paid
The Court then adjourned.

Mn. KIRK AT THE UNIvERsIrY.-There has been
astonishing dongs at the Univ ersty during the past
few weeks-such offering up of prayers such singing
Of psalms, and such saving Of souls! The Rev. Mr..
Kirk has been there, exhorting and beseecning the
students to leave their wicked ways, the abomina-
bic paths of their precursors, to quit billiards and
cards, to cut acquaintance with theatres and
grog shops and follow the long train of the church
His prayers have prevailed, the sinners have been
converted some four FIVE have joined the church,
and their souls are positively saved.
But each good act is accompanied with coun-
ter action of evil SO it has happened in this
The devils from the mouths of the pious have
been greedily swallowed by their opponents; while
many are in fair way for heaven, others, again,
are on the broad track for destruction. In vain
does the chancellor offer his advicein vain do the
professors bring forth their argumens-their hearts
Of stone will not liqufy-the cause Of the gospel is
at dead stand still; and every thing, temporal and
spiritual, is developed in a sort Of mist. Psalm
singers stand opposed to billiard payers-prayer-
makers at daggers' points with cavaliers-long
hair its rights in contra distinction to crop
ped, and the very days of Cromwell are renewed
Many, believing religion to be very good thing
in its way" are Numerically opposed to having
the chancellor jamming salvation down their throats
the faith Of their fathers and grandfahers should be
questioned; but cry few can, by any means, sto-
mach prayer meetings three times week.
But what, let ask, is the moral Of the whole
affair Z The council, who have selected this new
chancellor, have been most egregiousy mistaken in
their choice. Instead Of noble, open-hearted man
they were led TO expect, they now discover
the narrow-minded, bigotted fanatic-a man who
has wagcd incessant warfare against tobacco and
theatres-a who will tolerate secret emissaries
to spy into and report the most trivial actions Of
students life. Such is not the person they ought to
have selected the head Of a literary institution.
lie may be sufficient for the secretary or treasurer
OF cooni ration society-for the orator at tempe
rance celebration; but neither his literary acquire
ments, mental faculties equal to the task he
has been appointed to. The parents of the youths
place them at the University to receive a libcr al
course Of educaton-not preJudiced religious opn-
ions and the good Of the professors ought to
dictate to them, that the present Of religious
excitement will, in the finale, prove detrimental to
the inte rests and welfare Of the institution.

Dcioro v. d Jones, Suing al Chambers.
The People er rel John H. PAT, on a petitio~
for hateas corpus, to bring up TIE body Of his in
FAINT chifd.-This is another of those matrimonial
squabbles which have occupied much of the at
tenion oil the judicial authorities lately and which
appear to be getting quite prevalent this commu-
ty." The parties were married some eight or nine
years back; and in consequence of Mr. Paff con-
sidering his lady love to have turned out quite a
devil, and she considering that he did not keep her
in quite much of style his fortune would war
rant her in expecting, she left his house, and took
away her child. The present proceedings were
adopted to get back the little 'un" and papa with
view of inducing its mamma to return also to the
bed and board Of her lege lord and master.
The brother and sister Of the lady were examined
at considerable length, for the purpose of establish
ing certain acts of violence which the lady's coun-
sci alleged had been committed by Mr. Paff but
with the exception of some violent cursing and
swearing, and calling the lady sundry appeliations
to make out that part of the case. The following
curious part of the examination of the Iady's bro
Their will serve to show that some threats were made
tn ough not at the lady.
Csunsel-Have you ever threatened Mr.. PaH
Witness-Not exactly, but may have said that
would squirt tobaccojuice in his face or throw my
quid in his face.
Counsel-Any thing else9
Witness-I may have said he ought to be cow
hided and that l would not mind doing il.
Counsel-Any thing about pulling nosesl
Whness-Well, may have said that if he was
half man would have wrung his nose.
Counsel-Then l suppose there is little animosi-
ty between you.
Witness-Well, nothing to speak of, except that
do hate him.
The witness afterwards explained that the cause Of
this hatred the i'll treatment his sister had re-
ceived from Paf.
After some uninteresting testimony from the wife
of this witness the Chief Justice adjourned the fur
Their hearing TO future day.

burnt cut in the fall of that year, and although
the fire was subdued before the premises were en-
trey destroyed, still the damage to the stock cut

make him come on the insurers for a total loss.-

was called to the 9Th Avenue, to hold an ante NOR

was stabbed in a row which took place up town, ON
Monday night.
Ii appeared that some eight or nine Of the volun-

Monday, at a tavern kept by James Townsend, in
the 9Th Avenue. and there amused themselves by
annoying one Patrick Grey, who was engaged
whiting stick, and at length Grey took of his
coat, and told McFau that il he wanted any thing,
he might take il out Of him" The other said he
"did not want to raise muss there; but if Grey
would go outside, he would lick him 7"
AT the commencement Of the ARRAY, Grey had
thrown his knife on the floor, but they were going
out to fight, he picked it mp, and said she would
give McFaul the length Of it. When outside, they
made two or three passes at each other. and then
Grey stabbed NcFau in the abdomen, about two
inches above the navel. McFzlI exclaimed, 81 am
stabbed" and went into the house. Medical aid was
sent for, and the wound dressed, but he has been
since, and still lies, in very prccarsus situation
