By the aid ofrecreant democrats that received the sanction of two- thirds of the members of both Houses, and it will he lasting stigma both on their and the charac- ter of the State Taking the present system of bank ing, all in a i is the most fruitful parent not only of rascality in itse but of bribery and dshonor ts our Legislators, and of expedients which disgrace to modern legisIation. Let Alabama look out for squalls in her system. It is rapidly approaching that condition when smash or dishonor must nevi- tably be the result 8eifi i rli l3laH1.
 ~ 'aiii From the Trenton State Gazette.
 The Cwiosities ef Suspension.-The revenue bill of Pennsylvania, is financial curiosity even in these days of suspended debts, broken promises, and rre- deemablc notes. Let us examine it. E L The grand difficulty with the State of Pennsylvania is, that she has borrowed more money than she can pay the interest of The remedy this bill proposes, is to borrow three millions more. .,s
 But in the very reasonable apprehension that no careful man or corporation will, of choice, lend more money to . state which has already borrowed more than she can pay, they resort to their banks, which have already issued more notes to the community thaa they oan redeem, and require them to increase their inability to redeem those notes, and fulfil their contracts, Oy icuQfnE of their promises to pay To induce the banks to do this, they apply to their fears hand, and their cupidity on the other.
 If, through prudence, honest reluctance to di minish its means, and put of, indefinitely, the time paying its existing debts its unfortunate credi- tors, any bank shall refuse participate in this loan, 1t is to be left to just punishment for its prudence honesty, to the extreme rgors of the laws. If, on the contrary. itcomply with the demand, increase it's obligations, which already more than it pay, the state will step in between the bank and its credito, and give 1t aspecial protection against them and the law.
 Surely in all this there is high regard for honesty and fair dealing, worthy that sshigh Pennsylvania feeling" of which wont to hear.
 But there are other brilliant beauties in this bill,
 The loan of q, 900 900 is be made to the state in notes of the denomination of one, two and three dollars, which notes are to be redeemabe in specie on demand, as other notes are-but in the stock of this very state which cannot pay its debts, nor get it's stock of upon the community, in any other way. And when we add to this, that the notes only re- deemable, even in this poor stock, when presented in sums of $l00, we have pretty nearly said in eect that the notes not redeemabe af slat least for the present time, and years to come. And thus is tic curse of irredeemabe currency, and all the evils which attend it, be aggravated by increasing its amount, by $S,00o 900 in single statel What sfasesmanshp! what prudencel .F aglsn49 HftI

 Here Mir. Calhoun entered into minute investga- ton of the appropriations and disbursements of 1888 and 1889, and referred to the misstatements which had been spread before the people on the Presder- tia election. After pledging themselves to the people in promises of reform, the gentlemen now turn round and say there is no room for retrenchment- it was all delusion. What is this but another evidence of the truth of the saying of the old Romn Consul of the difference the conduct of cand oates .ore and after obtaining office
