MONEY AFFAIRS.

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin says
"Wherever one goes-in the street, in the
Exchange, in the hotels, in the theatres, and
even to and from church, the common saluta.
ton has reference to the state of the times
There is horrid, morbid disposition to croak
to magnify evils, to imagine and predict them
which partakes somewhat of the common
feeling when an epidemic prevails. 1t is e
time of contagion, but the contagion affects
the minds as much as it does the pockets OF
the community. But it has been our good
fortune to meet with manly who are not cast
down by the prevailing embarrasspents.-
They have done, and are doing, their best 10
sustain themselves; and with the consclous-
ness of this comes determination not to be
gloomy and depressed, whateve- may be the
result. They have as hearty greetings as
ever for their friends, and have their jokes on
all subjects, even on the universal one of the
hard times.
at is this kind of spirit that we should like
to see become general; for that will be one Of
the best means of Fastening return to pros
perity. What we want is confidence, cour-
age, determination, and cheerfulness. The
country is rich and prosperous; the crops are
enormous, and are coming forward rapidly;
the flow of specie to Europeis checked, and
we are receiving more than we send away
The financial caamities we have witnessed,
and are still witnessing, are not the effects of
a decline in the prosperity of the real wealth
of the country. We have lived too fast, and
felt so rich that some of us have speculated
overmuch, and everything has thus become
entangled. If the country had been poor
there would have been nothing of the kind.
We are now suffering from the effect of our
excess, not from the effects of our poverty
The punishment is severe, bnt it cannot last
long; and, in the meantime, there is no use in
making it worse than it really is, and magni-
flying Its severity by complaining and crouk-
ing. 1t should be borne manfully and cour-
ageousy, and it will the sooner be over.
"There is one thing worthy of note in re-
gard to the present excitement; it is totally
unconnected with politics. In the pecunary
distress Of 1879, the troubles were aggra.
waited by the politiHleacerbity that prevailed
everywhere. Parties were ar.ayed against
one another, and there was mutual hostility
as well as mutual distrust. Now, however,
there is nothing of the kind. People are all
anxious; but they are at the same time deter
mined to stand by one another and cooperate
for the common good"

BOB WALKER AND THE PRESIDENCY.
That Bob Walker is blazing out a road to
the Presidency is hardly to be doubted. The
following extract from the New York Her
AIDS Washington letter of the 2ist, is well
worth the attention Of the Southern support
ers of Walker. Read:
The Kansas policy of Robert J. Walker
has received the particular attention OF the
New York Herald, and your defense of his
course in connection with the Administration
has not failed Of it's good effects in the right
quarters. The Herald has also limited on
several occasions that Walker is an aspirant
for the Presidency, and that the affairs of
Kansas are the trump cards which he is try.
ing to play SO as to win the sweepstakes of
1850.
From a recent conversation with an init
mate friend Of Walker, have reason to be-
lieye that the Governor has seriously affixed
his attentions upon the White House, and
that out of Kansas he expects to achieve
wonders. | understand that to this end his
wishes ard his intentions are to make Kansas
free State through the enforcement of the
terms of the Kansas.Nebraska bill, and that
Will tIllS uG tAUOClS' tuo ICCuHs
struction of parties indicated by the Herald,
and that the new party of national conserva-
tivcs, opposed to both Northern and Southern
slavery agitators, will find in Robert j. Walk.
er and his doings in Kansas the very man and
the very platform they desire, especially as
Mr.. Buchanan will be out of the way, and
probably Col. Fremont. Should this be so,
Governor Walker will only have such men as
Douglas, Hunter, Seward Jeff Davis, to con.
tend against, and such as these it is thought
it will not be very hard TO beat.
The Herald indorses editoraly the views
of its correspondent as follows:
Before accepting his responsible Office,
Gov. Walker had doubtless discovered that
anything approaching an adhesion to the
terms of the Kansas Nebraska bill would re-
suit in making Kansas free State, from the
overwhelming numerical ascendancy of the
free State settlers in the territory. In accept.
ing, therefore, the chart of MIR. Buchanan's
inaugural as his guide, the course of the Gov
ernor was at once defned-the result became
certain-and, from its crowning advantages,
superior to all the trials and embarrassments
which might delay its accomplishment. The
admission of Kansas rs free State, through
the fairly applied organic law of popular SOW
ereignty, it was evident, at the outset, would
break up the present relations of our politicaI
parties; but it was equally manifest to the sa-
gacious observer of causes and effects, that in
necessary reconstruction of parties the ascen.
dancy would accrue to the conservatives ac-
quiescing in the free State solution of the
Kansas problem. This, then, is the position
of Governor Walker. He anticipates, as we
anticipate, the disruption of the Southern
Democracy from the admission of Kansas as
free State.

LARGE SALES OF PUBLIC LAEDs.-The
President is said to have signed proclamations
for the sale of two and o half millions of
acres of the public domain in California; near
four hundred and fifty thousand acres in
Missouri, and the indicated tracts in the
Sioux haf-breed reservation on Lake Pipin,
in the territory of Minnesota. These sales,
in California, will take place during the
month Of May next, and in Missouri and
Minnesota in March next.

Corn AND HoGs.-From carefully conduct
ed experiments by different persons, il has
been ascertained tba. oHs bushel OF corn will
make little over lOt pounds of pork
gross. Taking the result as basis, the fol-
lowing deductions are made, which all oul
farmers would do well to lay by for con-
venient eference-That,
When corn costs l2t cts. per bushel, pork
costs It cts. per pound.
When corn costs lie. per bushel, pork
costs &c. per pound.
When corn costs 25c. per bushel, pork
costs &c. per pound.
When corn costs 3sc. per bushel, pork
costs 4c. per pound.
When corn costs SOC. per bushel, pork
costs Sc. per pound.
The following statements show what the
farmer realizes for his corn when sold in the
form of pork:
When pork sells for Sc. per pound, il
brings 25c. per bushe in corn.
When pork sells for &c. per pound, it brings
32c. cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for &c. per pound, it brings
45c. per bushel in corn.
ROBBERY OF TEE U. $. MINT IN SAN FRAN
CIsco.-The San Francisco Herald of the
Goth ult states that WIN. Bein, who had been
for some time employed in the coiners' de-
partment of the United States Mint in that
city, was arrested on the previous day, on
suspicion of having abstracted gold from the
establishment. His apartment was searched,
and about $4,000 in gold found, together
with deeds for property to near the value OF
$4,000. He admitted his speculations, and
restored $4,000 of the amount. 1t was sup
posed, from the wax in which the gold filings
were found, that he committed the thefts by
means of wax placed under the instep of his
boots, to which the gold, when trod upon,
adhered Since his arrest, he has ackaowl-
edged that he has been carrying on the pill
fering ever since the establishment of the
Mint in that city.

HEAVY DEFALcATioNs.-We were in hopes
that, even though we were forced to suffer
from the monetary panic created in New
York, to some extent, we would yet be
spared the pain of seeing that dreadful cpl
Misunderstanding cashiers-spread to the
South. The following from the Augusta
Chronicle aud Sentinel of Sunday, indicates,
however, that we are to bo disappointed in
such reasonable hopes:
We learned yesterday that w. II. Bartless,
Teller in the Southwestern Railroad Bank,
at Charleston, had proved deaulter in the
sum of 100000. lie has left city. Mr.. Mill
Ter, Teller in the Bank of the State, also
at Charleston, we learn, isa defaulter to The
amount of $4,000.
Since writing the above, we have been in
formed that Mr. Bartless has been arrested
in Wilmington, N. c., and large portion
(S53,000) recovered.

MONEY PANIcs.-Nloney panics, we be.
ieve, are confined exclusively to this country.
They result from the over issue of bank pa
per, and the too liberal extension of the credit
system. Sometimes stringency occurs in the
money markets of the old world, but there is
never anything like a panic. The Bank Of
France issues no bill for less than 100 francs
about IS dollars of our money. The
Bank of England issues none for lees than
E5-whch is about twenty-five dollars
American currency. The circulating medi
um, therefore, in the ordinary transactions of
trade, consists of gold and silver. No such
thing is known among them as run upon
the Banks, or panic in the money market

a PARALLEL OF the great loss of life
on the Central America, the Philadelphia
Press says;
"The only parallel within our memory is
that OF the Amphitrite off the coast of France
over twenty-five years ago, with about eight
hundred convicts on board, who persisted in
a sudden squall, the greater part of them
being hand culled and linked two and-,wo
with fetters, and unable to make any effort
to save themselves"

TO take measures to relieve those who
have suffered from the ravages of the

Kansas and tho President.

The Wheeling "Argus," says the
"South, is one among the many Dem.
ocratic journals in Virginia which have
throughout denounced the conduct of
Governor WALKER. That journal thus
comments upon the recent letter of
President BUCHANAN:
"In his late letter to the New Eng.
land doctors, the President has indica-
ted, as the occasion permitted, his
views upon the question Of submitting
the constitution about to be framed by
the Convention to vote of the people.
He assumes that it will be 80 submitted
by the Convention, but without any
expression of his own preference. He
promises to protect the polls against
illegal violence. lie refers distinctly
i'll this connection to the bona .fde res
idcnts qualified to vote under the pro.
visions Of the new constitution, as the
persons who will be protected in voting
upon the question Of its adoption. He
also allud0s with appreciation to pro.
vision in former election law rcquir-
ing a residence Of three months for
voters.
We arr thus giocu to understand that
tie President recognizcS tie Conrcation
itscV as the proper body 10 dcciae what
cIa&s Fl residents shaN be permitted to
p0te, and, Of course, 10 dccido also whc.
tier any cote $haN be taken. These
positions arc both just and polite"
