was determined not to be satisfied, and the
following short dialogue took place:
Lady-Have the rich people in your coun-
try any carriages? for suppose there are
some that call themselves rich.
Capt. P.-My residence is in small town
upon an Island, where there are but few car
riages, but in the large towns and cities upon
the main land, there are a number kept in a
style suited to our republican manners.
Lady can't think where you find dri-
vers-for should not think the Americans
knew how to drive a coach.
Capt. P-We find no difficulty on that ac-
count madam; we can have plenty of drivers
by sending to England for them.
Lady-(speaking very quickly)-I think
the Americans ought to drive the English in
stead of the English driving the Americans.
Capt. P.-We did madam, in the late war;
but since peace, we permit the English to drive
usl
The lady, half choked with anger, stood
mute minute, and then left the room, whis-
pering to her friend-The Yankees are two
much for us in the cabinet, as we'll as in the
field.

FROM THE RAYMOND TIMES.
THE STATE BONDS.

The view taken in my former number, of
the liability of the State for the payment of
the bonds, appears to me conclusive. But 1t
has occurred to me that the matter can be
placed in light more obvious, and therefore
more convincing.
1t was stated that there are two classes OF
non-p ayers--those who contended, with the
Governor, that the sale of the bonds was IN VI
olation of the Supplementary Act. prohibiting
a sale below par, and those who deny the con-
stitutionality of that Act under the provisions
of which the sales were made.
am willing to admit, if required.
First. The Supplement is unconstitutional.
Second. The bonds were sold under their
par value.
In return for these ample concessions,
claim nothing more than that both shall be la
ken together.
In this view of the case, the sale must have
been made under the original charter. And
why was it not! The fifth section pledges
the faith of the State for the loan-directs the
execution of the bonds by the Governor and
State Treasurer, and prescribes their form.
And the sixth section provides 'that the said
bonds may be transferable by the endorse
ment of the President, and of the Chashier of
said bank, to the order of any person whom
soever, or to the bearer" All this was done,
under the original charter; and know Moth
ing more that was necessary to fix the indebt-
edness of the State, except the sale-which
the officers of the bank had a right to make
whenever and wherever they could find pur-
chaser.
But the bonds were sold under par! Here
Claim the benefit OF my first admission, that
Inc supplement was Unconstitutional. And
defy any scrutiny to detect the violation of
the original charter in this transaction. 1t is
Inc Supplement, not the charter. that restricts
the sale to par value of the bonds. There is
not word in the charter which can be con-
Strued into purpose of thus restricting the
sale. Indeed, there can be little doubt that
'ae Legislature intended leaving the commits
sloners some discretion on this point. Other
& States and nations have borrowed for them
selves, on worse terms, than sale of per
cent stock at par.
:, There are some, however, who do not deny

PROM rHE TUSCALOOSA MoNrro R.

At the Baltimore Convention in May last
which nominated Mr.. Van Buren, as candid
ate for reelection to the Presidency, long
confession of faith, called by way of pre-emi-
nence, the democratic platform" was drawn
up and sanctioned by the leaders of the party.
Among other things it declares,
"That Congress has no power to charter a
national Bank; that such an institution is one
of deadly hostility to the best interests of the
country, dangerous to our Republican Institu-
tons and the liberties of the people"
The late Judge Grundy, of Tennessee, was
prominent actor in that convention, and did
perhaps more than any other man in construc-
ting the mighty "Democratic Platform" on
which he stood when he exclaimed 81 am
veteran an The cause Of Democracy" was
born and raised democrat. and have so con-
tinued even beyond my three score years"
We have not the remotest desire to cast
shade on the memory of that distinguished,
and, we believe, honest man, Judge Grundy-
but inasmuch as he was trained in the school,
and became the purest model, of orthodox de.
mocracy, we have right to turn his political
opinions against party who rail SO loudly
against the constitutionality of a National
Bank. That we may give something more
than assertion on this point we submit the fol-
lowing extract from the Journal of the House
Of Representatives of the U. S. for the year
1914:
Mr.. Grundy, of Tennessee, submitted the
following resolution for consideration.
"Resolred, That committee be appointed
to inquire into the expediency of establishing
national bank, and that they have leave to
report by bill or otherwise"
Mr.. Newton of Virginia, moved to postpone
the resolution indefinitely.
Mr.. Grundy said abe trusted the motion te

COLLOQUY.

Soon after the revolutionary war. Capt. P,
brave Yankee officer, was at ST. Peters
burgh, in Russia, and while there accepted an
invitation to dine-there was a large num-
Der at the table, and among the rest an Eng
lish LADY, who wished to appear as one of the
knowing ones. This lady on unde rstanding
that an American was one of the guests, ex-
pressed to one of her acquaintances a deter
n,ination to quiz him. She fastened on him
like tigress, making many inquiries respecting
our habits, customs, dress, manners and mode :,
of life, education, amusements, &C. 10 all
the inquiries, Capt. p. gave an answer that
satisfied all the company, except the lady; she

GOOD ADVICE.
FROM GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Newburgh, Jan. Is, /

Newbnrgh. Jan. Is, l7S3.
Dear Bushrod:-Yo will be surprised, per-
haps, at receiving letter from me; but if the
end is answered for which if is written, shall
not think my time misspent. Your father,
who seems TO entertain a very favorable opin-
ion of your prudence, and hope you merit it;
in one or two of his letters to me he speaks of
the difficulty he is under TO make remittances.
Whether this arises from the scantiness of his
funds or the extensiveness of your demands,
is matter of conjecture with me. / hope it is
not the latter; because common prudence, and
every other consideration, wtl6eh ought to have
weight in a rejecting mind, are opposed to
your requiring more than his convenience and
a regard to his other children will enable him
to pay, and because he holds up no idea IN the
letter which would support me in the concIu-

postpone would not succeed. He believed
there was time enough left for the considera-
ton of the subject, and, if the House would
bring itself TO discuss it, all constitutional diff.
cuitles he was persuaded, would be removed"
In reply to Mr.. Grosvenor and others Mr..
Grundy said che certainly should never, have
brought forward the proposition, without hay.
ing reflected much upon it. He knew that /,
had been much agitated in this House, and in
the nation heretofore, and had been much op.
posed by many OF those politicians with whom
ne usually acted in this House; but he did not
believe that each Congress was so bound bv
the deci,ion of that which proceeded it. that
was good argument against measure for
members, of former Congress 10 come in and
say, "We have decided il heretofore" AS
Representative, Mr.. Grundy said, he claimed
the right to give at least one vote on this sub.
iect."
"The spirit of our constitution had wisely
ordained the frequency of elections for the We
ry purpose of undoing what had been wrong
ly done by their predecessors, and of doing
that which had been left undone.

ject. wish to see Bank established, as a
national object, let who will be in power-as
a general measure, wish to see it adopted.
"For general considerations, Mr. Grundy
said, he had always been in favor of national
measure of this sort, and entertained no con-
stitutional scruples about it,"
Comment on the above is useless. We do
not maintain. that the mover and advocate of
the resolution did ought TO disparage his wis
dom or his patriotism thereby; he was not a
lone in that opinion. Some of the ablest and
ripest statesmen within the last half century,
concurred with him, as we'll as many at the
present day. Our object is TO show the ridic-
ulous absurdity now put forth by the dominant
party of Alabama, that opposition to a nation
al bank has been at all times distinguishing
feature in the character of every democrat
We have no doubt that federalists and republi.
cans, when that division existed, and the pres

of them, been on both sides of the question:

Who will not endorse the following article
taken from the "True ISSUE" We consider it
just,-only not half so severe as it should be:
THE VICKSBURG SENTINEL.
This paper is growing an intolerable nui-
sance, disgrace to the State and city in which
it is published. We find nothing in its COL
umns but arrogance and abuse, and since the
establishment of the True Issue, we have dee
med Hagan humbugging BLACKBOARD, sort
of rowdy, anxious for renown in the annals of
bowie-knife and pistol-outlawry. We hear
citizens of Vicksburg every day denounce him
as unworthy of credit or respect, and yet he
is tolerated with some show of consideration.
Why 1t is that he is recognized as an editor
thus, we cannot imagine probably the pow
erty and distress of The times makes even
humbug and BLACKBOARD palatable. In his last
paper, we discover an article rejecting upon
the True Issue, written in the usual low and
ribald style of Hagan. He charges that the
writers for tie True Issue are loafers Is that
not funny? Who is Jimmy Hagap! To the
certain knowledge of the publisher of this pa
per, Jimmy Hagan was for six or seven years
pauper in Washington city, and he begged
himself into an agency for the Washington
Monument Society. During his stay in Mis-
sissppi, he has been the pauper of two BIG
men, and as editor of the Vicksburg Sentinel,
he has been the unblushing slanderer of eve
ny prominent man in the State. A little clan
in Vicksburg who envied the excellence they
could not rival, made tool of Hagan to as
sail such men as Bodley and Prentiss. His
paper has been dead dozen times, but big
men came to his relief and revived the Senti-
mel. llagan is now the trumpeter of big men,
in consideration OF pay received, and will
swear to thousand lies to advance them po-
litically. For ourself, we care not what he
says-the friends and patrons of this press
laugh at all the filth which may be hurled a.
gainst it by such prints as the Vicksburg Sen
tinel.
We have no regular editor yet; in few
days, however, we will have one who will de-
vote his whole time and talents to the columns
of the True Issue. Until this arrangement is
made, the Vicksburg Sentinel knows that the
publisher of the True Issue is a responsible
man and no loafer either.
