CEy-In this paper we copy an able and in
structive article upon the state of the cur
rency, from the Cincinnati Gazette, and com
mend its perusal to our readers. 1t shows
the financial basis of the country to be in a
much sounder and healthier condition than
we had supposed, with larger proportion
of specie. We think there is one important
mistake in the article--the assertion that,
because specie is always boarded, therefore
it cannot become the general circulating me-
dium. The reason why specie is boarded,
and therefore does not become the principal
circulating medium, is ebxious-it is because
there are two kinds of currency, specie
and paper, and of course the poorer and less
safe and valuable will be paid out and kept
going, while the better and more safe and
valuable will be retained for emergencies.
But abolish the use of paper, and you at
once put an end to the inducements TO hoard
specie. Paper represents public confidence
that specie will be paid, hence it is worth
less without confidence. Why not use the
specie itself and dispense with confidence,
since so many men are found to be dishon-
est? If there were but one kind of curren-
cy, such thing as premium upon it would
be unheard of, neither would it ever be eth
ey above or below par Men would readily
pay it out, knowing that when they should
next receive money again it would be just as
good. Instead of boarding money then, ev
cry man would use it to the best advantage.
Now, banks hoard, the government hoards
and people hoard. The currency is vitiated
and needs purifying

New Press FOR PRINTING CoLoRs Mr.
Stephen Brown, of Syracuse, has written to
inform us that he has recently invented and
will soon be manufacturing, press for
printing different colors by one impression.
He says: D.. ....... ...........
GA Job in four colors can be worked at
the rate of 500 copies per hour, and in elt
CANT style. One impression only is required
for tha whole form-thc colorS being given
by different rollers, and the impression taken
at once. Strange as it may seem, one letter
can by this press be printed in one, two,
three, or four colors, if desired the body of
the letter may be black, or red, or blue, and
the outside shaded by an entirely different
color"
We shall keep ourselves posted up in ,e-
ference to this press, and if it prove as rep
presented, it will be of vast importance to
the craft Ink Fountain.

Nicholson and Holland were desperate men

Nicholson and Holland were desperate men,
and had said that if any one betrayed them,
he would be shot. This witness, having
confessed that he swore falsely once. should
not be regarded as conclusive against the
defendants.
s. c. Burton testified as in former trials,
with the addition of the confession of Ly-
man Cole, in IA subsequent conversation. that
the shipments in the boat were all fraud,
and that Holland, the mate, was hired to
burn the boat.
This is an extraordinary case. Perhaps
the records of the courts do not rnrnish its
parallel. The conviction upon the public
mind is strong and decided that the defend
ants are guilty, and yet, so far, they have
managed to escape conviction. What new
development The forgery trial in NV York
will bring t" light, yet remains to be seen.

CATTLE TRADE WITH THE PACIFIC. The
hostility of the Indians on the line of the
overland route to the Pacific has entirely
stopped the profitable cattle trade of the
west with California. The ST. Louis Intel
ligencer states that it is calculated that one
hundred thousand cattle were started across
the plains for California last season, and one
half at least, were purchased in Missouri.
The cattle and sheep buyers for the Cali
fornia market next season have abandoned
the business, and re-sold their droves and
focks. They dare not venture to drive cattle
across the plains, with the dangers that exist
from Indians, in face of the losses that befel
the business last year.

The Japan trade, it is already ascertained
by official reports is embarrassed by serious
difficulties as to the relative value in ex-
change of American and japanese money
The Philadelphia American says:
cit will be recollected that Sias E. Bur-
ton reported, as the result of his recent
mercantile expedition thither, that he was
charged sS28.00 ton for coal, and that
Everything else was proportionably so high
that nothing was to be made by commerce
there. This was attributed to the japanese
jealousy of foreigners, and their desire to get
rid of our people in that way. 1t seems,
however, that there is another cause. Our
gold and silver is at an enormous discount
in Japan, for the reasons that those metals
are plenty there and the Japanese do not
want them. The discount on silver is 66S
per cent, so that an American dollar is there
only worth 33B cents. The discount on
gold is greater than this.
when Com. Perry was last at Simoda,
he appointed q committee, consisting of
Pursers Speiden and Eldredge to confer with
a similar committee Of Japanese in reference
to the rate of exchange and currency between
the two nations, in the trade at the ports
opened, and to settle the price of coal to be
delivered at Simoda. The report of this
COulGlCLCc, dS llduc Ny lllC AuGIlCdu COu-
mttee, is published in the Friend of China.
From it we learn that no result was arrived
at as the japanese had their minds made up
beforehand to adhere to their own exorbitant
discounts and prices, and the Americans
could not, Of course. assent to them"
A CURE FOR HARD TIMEs.-Sixty Of the
most fashionable ladies in New York have
formed a society for the promotion of Ameri
can industry, by encouraging domestic man
ufactures. The members pledge themselves
to wear nothing which:s not made in Ameri-
ca, and the fire is spreading. Our good
friend, Charles Stetson, Esq, of the Astor
House, n. Y, writes to us under date of the
28th ult., in which he says, "last evening
there was soir6e given here the idea was,
that nothing but American goods should be
worn on the occasion, and the effect was
delightful. American silks could not be
found, but calicoes muslin de lanes We're all
the rage
We would recommend ladies of Cincin-
natl to form society of the same sort,
and resolve to wear only American manu-
factured goods; begin the new year with this
determination, make domestic fabrics fash
ionable, and we shall soon have good times.
We purchase twenty millions of dollars
worth of foreign silks every year, which at
ten per cent. is the interest upon taOO ham

CoMPETEEoY OF JURoRs-The rule as to
the rejection of Jurors in criminal cases, for
having formed an opinion on case, is thus
given by Chief Justice fancy:
"If the juror has formed an opinion that
the prisoners are guilty, and entertains that
opinion now, without waiting to hear the
testimony, then he is incompetent. But if,
from reading the newspapers or hearing re-
ports, he has impressions on his mind un-
favorable to the prisoners, but has no opin.
ion or prejudice, which will prevent him
from doing impartial justice, when he hears
the testimony, then he is competent"
