ue ,re Glad n see that at least one Southern
Wing press looks al the result in New ioiA ~
lis true light and deplores instead OF rejoicing al
Victory over Southern rights won unoer such
circumstances. The Eufaula (A!a.) Shleia'
wh;g dcnreca,es the Wing Wilmol Proyiso tri'
umnhs in New York, in the following aPpropri-
ale language:
DIOR ourself we must candidly confess, we
have no heart 10 rejoice over tnls WING 'Ic,o.y
in New York and il is lbe n!sI inPoi'du. " n'o
,r;nmnb wp have ever known over which we
could no, exult. But lhe great reason why Gu,
enthusiasm is dampened on The present occasion
- ,h., II is moi so much the success OF wing
nr;ncnes as i, is that OF the Wilmo, Pfoviso doc.
tr;ncsL being we'll known that the disaneciea
nor,;on the Democratic party which united WIN
he Whps in this election, did So because OF me
rsfusal 1.-The Democratic Convention 10 adopt Inc
nrnciples OF The obnoxious proviso Therefore,
we cannot rejoice over The defeat even OF The De-
mocIacy. when that result is brought about IN
consequence of their refusal 10 endorse pr,nc'pes az
.,ar p,tA The rights and interests Of tic Sonm.
This may-by those who are accustomed 10
look at every thing through party speclacle,.oe
considered very plain language lot wing
bu, we wish il 10 be distinctly understood, lhal
great body of The Northern Wing party, and. when
Ibeir success is achieved by arraying themselves
AGAINST Southern rights and Southern Interests,
We would be false TO every principle oil our ma
,ure, to rejoice al their victory.
The New York Journal Of Commerce PUBLISH
es an interesting table Of the amount oil specie
and bullion imported into The U. States l'hrousn
the custom house, and exported from The unl'eo
States in each commercial year from 1871 10 io4O
inclusive The sum total imported is a22l ,6s4,
COS. and exported Sl62 425, 779. Al The port o.
New York, from the Both June, 1886, TO The Is
inst, there was imported about SS,9I5, uooin spe
Gle and bullion, and exported during The same
period 50 03i ,442. 1t estimates thai in The SIX
teen months above mentioned the imports OF spe'
Gle into the country, through The Cusom-house
were at eas, S2OOOO,OOO, over and above The ex'
ports. Latterly the curren! has been running Inc
other way, but not very strongly.
AS 10 The amount OF specie now in the country
the same paper gives some very interesting spe.
culalions:
It has been estimated that the amount OF specie
in the country on The Both OF September, Io2U
was S2o,ouo,ooo
Imported since, TO June Both, 1916, as
above, 22',ooa'o'e
S2il, 6s4,57S
Deduct exported 10 same date, as 49,,
above, lo2, 42o,I'9
Leaving on hand 30h June, 1886, S79,2oo, I99
Estimated melt addition from 3Olh ~,
June, 1876, 10 Isl instant 2o,ooo'ooo
Leaving on hand LIST inst, 500 55s, 7s9
Or say in round numbers, Sl0O,O000OU. InaI
The amount exceeds this, rather than falls below
il, we fully believe For il large quantities are
constantly melted up Tor plate and jewelry, so on
the other hand, vast aggregate is imported oy iu'
migrants, which does not pass through the Gus
ION House, and OF course is not included IN Inc
returns The amount SO imported, is believed 20
exceed IS .OOO,OO per amman on an average OF
the last ten years; and this year, owing 10 the vast
increase oil immigration, and The farther TACT tnai
larger portion OF the Immigrants than usual
possess some property, we estimate The amount
of specie which they bring, al SlO,OOO,0O0. This
would be about $40 each, on an average -.
The amount of specie in The country on Inc SUN
Sept. 1871, according 10 a calculation made by
the then Register of The Treasury. was S63, oo3,
S9S. The increase since, is OO0O,oO0 or up
wards.
