LORD JOHN RUSSELL, in hi. speech
to the electors of London On his reelection
to parliament, uttered this profound truth,
on speaking Of the great change made in the
commercial affairs Of Great Britain by the
modification Of internal and external duties,
and the repeal ofthe corn laws;
."It is not said, as some choose to repre-
sent it, a new tangled system, and a strange
and fanciful theory it is nothing more than
saying humbly and modestly, sthere are
questions of legislature which we are COM
Petent to decide; but as to directing the
industry of the country, of diverting the
markets of the country, and of telling the
people how they shall employ their labor,
when they shall buy, and at what time they
shall sell, that is a subject upon which legis-
.latures can do nothing; (cheers) and upon
which the wisest house of lords, or the most
house of commons that ever exis.
.ed' cannot legislature as well as the butch.
er the farmer and the artisan, in their own
cheers)"
This is a truth that will be as well this
side the great water as in Great Britain It
is not long since in Great Britain manufac-
turerS were forbidden to put but certain spe-
CITED articles and in specified Quantities
into the goods they made. And in this coun-
try Legislators attempted to follow this res
example. Such things now seems
Assured. The utterance of such language
rom the mouth of the prime minister of the
British empire, says the London Economist,
marks a great change, not merely in the
framework of our laws, but in the modes of
and acting-in the very mind and
being oflaw makers such as never before
been sOlemnly acknowledged in the

A GHOST STORMY 4 coUxrRz

PHYsrcrAN.-The life Of a physician bring
him in contact with many strange events
and that of country practitioners is Otter
made up of as great variety of incidents a
the city could afford.
The following incident the writer of thi.
can vouch for as having occnred as related
and if it did not turn out a "real ghost" a
least it came very near being one. The
initials only Of the parties are given.
DIR. Gas the principal physician ir
the village of S Sin Massachusetts,
He had been attending an infant child Of
a young couple, whose residence was g
mile from the village, but the child died
aud was burr ed, and the mother was more
than usually afflicted at the loss Of her first
born.
One night a week or two after the bur-
al of the child, the worthy doctor was ri
ling at a late hour past the village
burying ground. The moon was shining
brightly and a cool March wind was
wiristling through the to- s of of couple of
tall pines which ornamented the grave yard
(Some Vandal hand had since destroyed
tLem.) The doctor was musing upon We
know not what--when suddenly his old
white horse picked up his ears, and began to
snort in avery unusual manner. The nag,
with instinct more acute, began to shy a.
way from the old grave yard fence, as if
he had no intention of coming in contact
with any spirits which might walk there.
The doctor was not superstious, he got off
his horse and climbed the fence into the
grave yard, to see what had afrighted his
staid, and steady animal.
The doctor was a man not easily fright
eaed, but it must be confessed that his hair
almost stood up, and he clutched the end of
his riding whip convuIsirely, as he looked,
snd saw among the tall white tomb-stoncs a
figure in white, with long dishevlled hair,
kneeling beside a new made infants grave.
The figure was rocking to and fro, as if
in pain or grief, and was so near him that
lie could see that its white drapcry was
scanty and the cold wind tossed tie long
hair about wildly. A moment. and his res
olution was formed. Carefully and firmly
he approached and spoke, but received mo-
answer.-He laid his land gently upon the
figure; it was evidently flesh and blood.
The Doctor far relieved. The secondl
look told him that it was a female, clad,
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, in a thin dress. She Ud q sleep!I
It was the young mother at the grave of
her child. Her mind had been so wrought
upon by its death that even when sleeping
she was not perfectly mistress of her ac-
tions.-She had risen from her bed, and
walked more than mile from her ~residence
to the burial ground, walking and' as may
be supposed, was horribly frightenen when
she foud herself among the tombs. The
Doctor quoted her fears, aud wrapping her
his ample cloak and placing her behind
him upon the horse, returned with her toI
her residence. Her husband had not awak-
uned during her absence, and could scare c-
Iy behave the story which the doctor told
him.

bathed in the same wine-after Punch.
The keeper of the hague had a preference
for Punch, and gave Pinch the first dip.
After him came fifty others-making in all
fifty five franc pieces. A good price for
the tub of wine.

Democrats will rejoide that the indepen

ciple of this system is, that the none,
should be kept strictly for public purpose.
that is: instead ofbeing allowed to go into
banks, one or many, and there used as a
basis Of discount to any portion Of the com
munity, that it should be retained by the a.
gents OF the government, and at all times
be ready for the wants of the nation. This
idea was a ~favorite one with Jefferson. As
early as 1903, and in a letter to Mr. Gallatin,
while enjoying the so much Wanted benefi,
of a national bank, he asks thu secretary Of
the tscasu,y whether he could not then
make a beginning towards an Indepen-
use of our own money!"
A democratic congress, in Mr. Van Buren's
administration, established the s'IndepeR-
use of our own money!" bnt this ill suited
the material which made up the wing ma
Jorlty Of 2ShO, and the law was repealed.
This repeal necessary renewed the con-
~ncction that SO long existed between bank
and state.
The present congress have rc-cnactcd the
constitutional treasury. There Can be nc
doubt among democrats Of the correct
ness of the principle upon which this bill is
founded; and il there are errors in the de.
details Of tie law, practice will point them.
out, and future legislation can correct them.
The evils ofthe old system, Of allowing the
public money to be loaned, are many and
evident. In the future, as it has been, there
will be times when large amounts of the
public funds, for short periods, may be col
lected at particular points; and ifthe were
allowed to use them they would make the
most of their land thus increase the ~natura
Instructions of trade. Heretofore this has
had a powerful agency in stimulating en-
into rashness, and'thus making our
commercial rcvulsions more severe than Of
they would have been. This has
been frankly admitted by those who favor
ed the loan system; but was supposed to
be compensated by the facility with which,
the public funds could be transferred,
through the agencies of banks from onepoint
to another. But this argument has lost force.
1t is an obsolete idea that a national bank
IS necessary to regulate exchanges; and du-
ring the time the Independent treausry was
operation the necessary transfers were
made with perfect safety and convenience.
