ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

The DablialF reeman's Journal holds
the following language respecting the pre-
sent difficulties between England and
America. 1t is somewhat different in its
positive and relative calculations from
other British authorities:
"The receding OF England from the
position she had taken about Texas IS
deeply significant, and history may here
after use it to make the point at which the
flood of her fortune began to ebb. Amer
ca is no ordinary power. Her greatest
strength can be put forth upon Engiand's
own ocean domain. A quarter of cen
fury ago, when England was supposed
capable of annihiIating the latle marine
of America by single stroke of her TN
and the relative dimensions of their nasles
justified the supposition--the younger ma
ton seized the knife between her teeth,
dashed 10 meet her enemy's own element

they struggled.

LAST SCENES OF THE SOUTHERN BAp.
list Cow ENTIoN. - On Saturday last a
constitution for the government of the
Southern Baptist Convention was propos.
ed and adopted.
A committee was appointed to prepare
an address setting forth the reasons which
induced the formation of the Convention.
During the evening session, the Con.
vention organized themselves into pro-
visional Government under the Conslitu-
ton - appointed officers - Foreign and
Domestic Boards Of Missions-and pro-
vided for the various contingencies which
may occur until the regular meeting oil
the Board in Richmond, Va, which is to
take place in May, 1916.
On Monday, various resolutions were
offered the Indian Mis-
'sions to the favorable consideration of the
Domestic Board --instructing the Board of
Domestic Missions to take all prudent
measures for the religious instruction of
our colored population an in
vestigation into the obligations, claims,
&C., of the Boston Board-soliciting a
transfer TO the South of certain approved
Missionaries now in the service of the
Boston Board--that committee be ap-
pointed 10 apply to the proper authorities
of Georgia for charter for the Southern
Baptist Convention.
After very neat and appropriate adj
dress from the Chairman, and prayer, the
Convention united in singing the 452d
hymn:
"Blessed be the ties which bind u.s."
The separation was full of feeling and
Christian love.
The labors of this great Convention are
now over. From this time, the Baptist of
the South and Southwest, will cease to
mingIe with the Baptist AboItionists of
the North and Northeast. Painful as
this separation has been, it was solemnly
regarded as being dictated by necessity,
sanctioned by desire TO promote harmo-
ny among the brethren of the same reli-
gious denomination, and, imperiously de-
manded in order to advance the cause of
Missionary benevolence.
The unanimity which prevailed in the
Convention in regard to the ecclesiastical
separation, may be regarded as clearly in
dicating the opinions of the Baptists of
the South upon this measure.

A TRANSPARENT TRIcK.-We see all
our Wing exchanges copying an article
about startling derelOpemenss that are to
he made in a forthcoming biography OF
Mr.. Clay by the Junius tract man, Rev ].
Il. Cotton. According TO this, there Is 10
be perfect streak of lightning TO fall on
Gen. Jackson and his friends as to the
great bargain aud intrigue case; they are
TO be made the corrupt and bribing party,
and Mr.. Clay and his friends are to DO
made angels OF light, by the transmogri-
tying influence OF certain hidden things
which Mr.. Clay, in the spirit of a martyr,
has for quarter of a century keep Sc
curely concealed--for what reason, think
you, reader? Why. as these wiseacres
state, "out Of regard for Mr. Buchanan. y
How very plausiblel and how very dis
interested and heroic in Mr.. CLAY! What
did Mr.. Buchanan do to entiiIe him to such
dlsnterested and devoted friendship; and
what has he now committed, that i, should
suddenly cease, and he be given over to
the scathing destruction these deyelope-
ments are to bring upon him7
The truth is, Mr.. Clay long ago made
the best defence in bis power on this sub
ject. To presume otherwise is preposle-
rous. And this talk of new develope-
ments is only stale booksellers trick to
excite public curiosity and bring the dimes
for Mr.. Colton's Book. Sentinel.

ANOTHER CHIT" FROM HowR.-The
landholders on the banks of the Mississippi
river want their plantations protected from
foundations by the construction of a levee
at the public expense. The property
holders about Brandon want a railroad
constructed, part of the expense of which
they want the public to pay. In the last
Disseminator, published at Brandon, DR.. j.
w. King, representing the landholJers
along the river, makes oyeriures to the
Brandon lotholders, to the effect that if the
latter will help the former IN getting the
public funds for the benefit of the former,
they will, in return, help them in the Lee
qisature to get their share of the spells.
The people of Cofeeville desire the cree
ton of grist mill, here, 20 save them the
inconvenience of having to send mile 70
get their corn ground out. We can, 10
use the language of DIR. King, "easily de-
monstrate that every portion of our town
will be vastly benefited by this improve
ment," and therefore we propose 20 enter
into an arrangement with him, and the re
preventative of Brandon, by which the
high contracting powers shall club inhGen-
ces in the Legislature, to secure to each
party its desired object. By cutting ca
nal from Burdens creek to the Gully, and
erecting mill just below our printing Of
fee, fish can be caught, and meal procured
at our very door, to say nothing of the be-
nefit in the shape of water privileges which
would accrue TO Aunt Elsey, who Is ex
tensively engaged in the clothes washing
profession. " Look to this likewise DR..

SOMETHING NEw.-The United States
Hotel, at Rochester, New York, has been
rented by a company of ten individuals
for joint occupancy, as mutual boarding
house, at a rent of $3.50. Boarders are
taken at low prices. But the peculiarly
of the plan is, for the associated families
to obtain their house rent, fuel, servants,
with great domestic privileges, better and
larger rooms, more varied table and 9TH
er conveniences, at far less cost than
living in ten seperate tenements, making q
saving not only in rent but in every thing
else. A first rate idea, only they must
avoid quarrelling. It would not be strange
if there were other persons followed the
precedent.

Chicago, shows that that city, in Decem-

1924 of which were foreign birth; 81
new buildings were erected during the
year. Total value of exports, $763,5O4

largest portion; 89l ,695 bushels of wheat,
and 96,635 lbs. Of wool being shipped to

QUANTITY OF GOLDtAND SILVER
in THE U. STATES--ADVANTA-
GEES OF A SPECIE CURRENCY.

or We extract the folhwing from the
" Monthly Financial and Commercial Arti-
Gle" in the Democratic Review for May
giving only an abstract of tie totals of some
of the tables furnished. The accuracy OF
the details is beyond question or cavil.
The quantity of the precious metals in
the country has increased IN the last four
years, during which the largest portion of
bank credits have been Withdrawn from
the channels of business, to very great
extent. The import and export have been
as follows:
Total imports of gold and sill
yer coin and bullion, 1921
to 1914, $2l3,7l9,2s9
Total exports do. do. do. LAG, 582,3s3
Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-06-04
Total, by official returns, slo9,2ls,6lO

Up to 1888, there was no mint but that
at Philadelphia. At that time the branch
es were established, and their operations
now exceed by far those of the principal
establishment. 1t Is observable in the ia
bic of export, that the amount of U. States
coin exported amounts to l5,4S6,670,
which, deducted from the coinage, gives
1913, 73l $40 as the amount of u. States
coins, exclusive of copper, in circulation.
The coin amounting to $50, 7S6, $50, in the
banks, is nearly, if not quite-all, of foreign
descriptions. This will give $l24,5lS,5O9
of actual coins in the United States. OF
the United States coins, % per cent. has
passed into circulation in the last three
years. 1t will be observed that the i'm
ports and exports given in the above table
are down to June 80, 1914, since when
exchanges have been against the country,
and down TO March /, $5,000,000 had
been re- exported, mostly from the vaults
of the Atlantic banks.
The proportions of gold and silver re-
spectiyely, that have been coined, are as
follows:
Total coinage of gold at all the
U. S. minis, up to 1874, S44,448,69f
Total of silver, $64,6lS,24C
In the last two years the gold coinage
of the United Statesshas exceeded the sill
yer mintage, and it is observable that the
operations Of the New Orleans branch
have last year greatly exceeded those o
the principal mint at Philadelphia. Thi
arises from the fact. that the mint at Phi
iadePhia is so far from the places at which
The precious metals are imported, that il
IN great measure, is yalueless for thu
purposes for which it was established. |
may De safely estimated that had thu
branch mints not been established in 1888
