From the Memphis Appeal. Banks or no Banks.

In my last article tried to show that neither protective tariff nor a national bank would cure the evils ot our currency system. 1 shall now present the consideration in favor of the entire abolition of our existing banking system and the substitution in its place of a currency composed exclusively of gold and silver. or their equivalents, in the shape of certificates of deposits issued by chartered institutions ar brokers and based upon actual specie dollar for dollar.
 It IS urged against this system that our conn. try could not get possession of sufficient ouan. tity of gold and silver to answer the nurnoses of a currency.
 II the principles we have advocated in former articles are true, this could not have been so at any time, much less can it be true when reoard IS had to the gold supplies from California and Australia since 1850
 To supply the circulating medium of the banks of this country, would require about two hundred millions of dollars; to supply their other legitimate credit operation, would require perhaps two hundred millions more
 take 1t that a currency of four hundred mil. lions of specie would equal in amount the means used by the instrumentality of banks in effect ing the commercial movement of the countrv. excepting bills of exchange the management of which last are not at all peculiar to banks, or an essential part of the banking system.
 To show that this amount of the precious metals can be supplied the country in very oret space Of tme 1t is only necessary to inspect the following table, which, though not mathe- matlcally correct, are the average results of in. veStigatlons carried on by different governments of the world -the computations of Humboldt Jacobs and other statisticians who have proved themselves to be severe and exacting in their judgments of all other matters.

on the ground that their voices are
''sensuous." We wonder if the wri-
ter Of that super-pious article enter
tanned similar opinion Of bis moth
er's voice when she sang him to sleep,
in his infancy, on her bosom? Did
be suppose our Saviour agreed with
him when he heard the voice Of Mary
as she wept at the foot Of the cross,
and listened to her accents of sorrow
at the open sepulchre? Did he ever
think so himself, as he lay moaning
upon the sick bed, and felt the soft
hand Of a woman pressing bis aching
head, smoothing his rumpled pillow,
and whispering consolation in those
gentle tones which only woman can
use, and which steal over the wretch
ed heart like oil over the troubled wa.
ters? Did he ever think of what the
great choir of Heaven would be like,
if only the deep basso of male voices
were employed in chanting Hosannas
to the new Kingdom, and ask himself
if such harmony could be character
istic of eternal justice? Sensuous
indeed! Go to! We would rather
hear one good woman's voice raised
in gratitude to her Creator, than all
the coarse, rasping, fle-music of hall
the divines of the day in their elo-
ouent perorations; and we look on it
as the most delicate compliment to
the delicate sex that Providence could
have paid in the midst Of its sensible
dispensations, that, while it gave
among the birds the grace Of beauty
and the power of song entirely to the
males, ii reserved both precious gifts,
with US, especially for womanklnd, in
order that they might better present
to our mind and hearts a visible con-
ception Of the angels!

Scarcity Of Feed.

We have rarely known a season
when the scarcity Of feed has been so
great ssat present. Hay was sold
in Louisville on Saturday at S25 per
ton from the wharf In Missouri it
is still more serious. Some heavy
shipments have been made lately to
st. Louis. The st. Louis News, Of
last Friday evoniog, says:
The scarcity Of grain and grass in
the interior Of this State is cir
cumstaDce too we'll attested by the
most serious facts to be doubted.
In some parts Of the State actual
want is experienced, while, every
where, farmers are forced to a
system of close feeding to prevent
their supplies from giving out. The
winter was SO long and severe that
ordinary stocks of grain have given
out long since; and the absence Of
grass occasioned by the backward.
ness of the spring and the prevail.
ence of bleak cas-: winds is a wan,

dry prairie grass. Corn is being
bought here in this city for feeding
in the country-a fact which tells il
few words the tale of scarcity.

THE WHEAT CROP.

A letter from Carroll county. Illi-

wheat. Winter wheat is all killed by
the hard winter. | had forty acres Of
winter wheat sown early in Septem.

when the winter set in / ever saw.
But it now presents nothing but a
dead appearance not worth any
thing; so with all the wheat sown last

Another letter from Grand River
Valley, Michigan, says: "Wheat new
er looked better than when the snow
went off in February; but the winters
covering was removed too soon; it
yielded at once to the extreme cold
of March, and since that time we have
seen it dying out, day by day, until
we despair OF an ordinary crop, even
if the future Of the season prove IA
yOrable."

SwindliBg Reduced 10 a Science.

SWlndling Reduced TO a Science.
They have professors Of all sorts
in modern times in our chief cities;
but it is only lately that we have
learned that there is a scientific mode
OF swlndling their creditors, and that
there are professors to teach the art.
The following notice we cut from the
advertising columns Of the New
York Herald:
sE Merchants embarrassed, in
want of means, or willing to suspend
with means, by financiering, can hear
of party who has just carried par
ties through TO the amount of $780,
600 without prejudice. Address
l05, Herald office. Reference given.
we can imagine, from the history
of the financial and commercial circles
of New York, that there must be an
abundant business for this advertiser
in that city. The effrontery of oc-
fering TO nssist embarrassed debt
ors, who are "willing to suspend
with means, by laundering" is anna
zing. The advertiser offers to give
references, and We presume he will
refer to some Of the honorable par
ties whom he "has just carried
through to the amount of $4,000"
Is this sort Of morality tolerated in
New York, and do the commercial
community really give support to
such professors of the art of swim
ding? If they do not avowedly do
so, and if they really condemn the
practice thus unbIushingly adyertis-
ed, we would advise some Of them to
suggest TO the police the propriety
of dropping a line to No. los, Her
aid Office.

testimony us to where the head of the

Jury could not agree. But as the

equally divided between the plaintiff
and defendant, and each party pay
his own costs. This was agreed to,
and the suit ended.

A letter from New York, in the
Philadelphia Enquirer, speaking Of
the dry goods trade, remarks:
The payments from NORTH and
West continue very backward and a

chrnicled in these sections. From
the South, on the other hand, prompt
returns are made and the credit OF
our friends on the other side of Ma

Loss Of Stock in Tennessee.


The Chattanooga Gazette, Of Sat-
urday. says
1.-THE unusually severe and pro-
tracted winter has caused a great loss
to stock raisers There has not been
feed enough In the country to keep
stock in living order, and what little
could be obtained at all by those who
were out, was at ruinous prices. We
hear Of cattle dying all over this coun-
TRY from starvation, Even in Sec
tons of the country where there is
scarcely ever failure to have an a.
bundance of grain and forage laid up,
they are suffering very material losses
by their cattle dying. A gentleman
from lower Sequatchee, when in this
city the other day. remarked that one
of his neighbor farmers, who had
large number Of cattle, was losing them
constantly--that when be left home
his neighbor was "a day and half be-
bind SHINING The mortality is not
over. As soon as the grass gets up
so that the cattle can get enough Of
it. those that are now very poor will
die under its weakening influences
unless otherwise fed"
The Rogersville EAST Tennessee,
Times, of the 10th, thus refers to The
same sulject:--
"Truly this is a singular season.
It is now about the middle of April
and is showing at rapid rate. Veg
citation has yet put on but little 0
the appearance Of spring. These ar,
rather distressing times among domes
tic animals. The store of provende
is well nigh exhausted. Many hav'
had their stock on rations for som
time. We learn that in some region
the farmers are telling trees to kee
their cattle alive. Some are feedin,
their stock on wheat. Many poo
families are in distress. All the lie
cessaries of life bear high price,
There is. however, enough of whea

1t appears that they had some
years ago defrauded an uncle of
theirs of several thousand dollars, by
inducing him to endorse note,
which he was afterwards obliged to

at the manner in which be had been
wronged by them, offered to sell some
of the drafts at discount. by which
he might realize upon them, and thus
remunerate himself for the losses he
bad met with at their hands. He,
believing in their protestations, and
persuading himself that there might
besome goodstill left in them, bought
the drafts and paid the money. He
was obliged to endorse them, to eff
ect their sale and now finds himself
utterly ruined by the double treach-
cry of which he was the victim.

at II o'clock Is miles had been

had not shone much fatigue. On

had tagged so much that bis driver

was put in stable. The other
horse then slackened into walk, and
