FIJI CALL AROUND AND PAY.-What n
world of woe is contained in these few words
to the poor artizan and mechanic! "i'll call
around and pay" says the rirh man, to avoid
the trouble OF going to his desk to get the
necessary funds, and the poor mechanic is
obliged to go home, TO disappoint all who
depend upon him for their due. 1t is an easy
matter to work-the only gloryn this life is
an independent idea Of being able to sustain
yourself by the labor of your own hands,
aud it may be easily imagined what crushing
force there is in "PI call around and pay" to
the laboring man who depends upon that pay
for subsistence. If those who could pay
won d only do SO at once, it would place
hundreds and thousands in Il condition to do
likewise, and prevent much misery and dis
treSS.

from the hooks. On Green river, in Kentucky,
extensive preparations are made for saugh-
tering. At Bowling Green alone it is cx
pected that 10000 will be killed and about
10000 at other points on the river. The
number killed on Green and Cumberland
rivers will be considerably in excess of last
year.

Mr.. WISE AND THE PREsIDENcY-The
Savannah Republican in noticing the propo-
siton in several democratic newspapers to
nominate Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, for the
Presidency, remarks, with much force and
truth:
In regard to Mr. Wise, we can only say he
has less of the qualifications necessary in Il
President of the United States at the pres
ent day than any other public man we know
in all the broad limits of the Union. He has
talents, but he has nothing else. He has
been an ultra radical, churlish, political snap
dragon all his life, wholly destitute OF ability
to govern himself, much less the delicate and
momentous affairs of great nation. He has
no administrative faculties no prudence, no
Judgment, and would carry the country to
the - in less than six months. The Sc
lection of such a man as the Chief Executive
of the nation, in preference to the brigh: ar.
ray fable, experienced ard tried statesmen
that 0vershndow him in everything that APP
pertains to true political and personal worth,
would be the strongest evidence of our inca.
pacty for self government that has been pre-
scented to the world from the struggle for in.
dependence to the present day. The party
that would venture upon so perious mr. cX.
pertinent in these troublous times, may well
be suspected OF secret intention to tear
down the citadel of the Union. Southern
men as we are, and sincerely dosirous of see.
ing the government in hands that will man.
age it consistently with the rights of the
saveholding States, we deprecate the election
of such n man to any important national
trust; as to the Presidency, we pray God that
that cup may be allowed to pass. The tim.
bers that support the fabric of our Union are
inadequate to such IN ordeal.

Coop SENsE.-The following reflections,
from the Railway Times, upon constructing
and managing railways is worthy of atten-
ton:
False economy consists mostly in buying
and working cheap material; in using Il cheap
su5structure and supcrstructure; in making
open bridges and cuIverls of too small Ca
pacity: in using cheap sIeepers; in buying
cheap iron, cheap engines, cheap fuel, cheap
oil and hiring cheap men. In no single case
of all these, and many other particulars can
any railway company afford to buy or use the
cheap article 1t may look like economy today,
but in the rough everyday demonstration Of
wear and tear, it proves anything but econo-
my. Every man who has had anything to do
with railway management knows the truth
of what we have said, and yet u great many
with this truth full in view, pursue the policy
Of buying and using the cheap article. Hire II
cheap engineer, and you save in wages per-
haps the sum of five dollars per month, and
lose ten or twenty times that sum in fuel and
repairs Buy II lot of cheap iron, and save
five dollars II ton, and in Il year or two the
iron is worthless, when if the really good ar
ticlc had been purchased, it would have last
ed ten or fifteen years. Buy cheap oil, and
half Of it will be wasted merely to get rid of
il, by those who have their patience tried in
usingit Hire cheap switrhman, and ten
chances 10 one he will cost twenty times as
much in one short month as Il frst-class man
would have dune Build cheap bridges, and
some day train of cars will 90 through,
costing the company half million of dollars,
The terrible disaster upon the Pacific Road
is an evidence Of what follows the use of
cheapness in railway construction. In fact
90 into every department Of operation, con
structon and repair, and YOU will find that
mere cheapness is no proof of economy; on
the contrary it is almost invariably proof OF
wastciulness and folly.

nomination than fire dollars. The rapid
multiplication of Free Banks, and the i'm.
mense number Of small notes which have
been put in circulation by them, have given
rise to serious apprehensons as to the sound
ness of the Free Banking policy; hence these
measures of reform. We are not at present
prepared TO give an opinion as to the prob
ability of their passage in the House of Rep
resentatves.
