~ tEoRGETowN, Oct. 9, 1857.
An article in New York journal relative to
the high prices demanded for the necessities of
LIE Is very applicable to the state of affairs in
gu, cry at the present time. There is one excuse
20 De found for our dealers however that cannot
be pleaded TO the same extent for any other COM
niuhliy Three-fourths of the paper currency Of
the District is, and has been for many years Of a
deprecated character. Tradesmsn, therefore,
generally have been compelled by necessity to
demand rather more than reasonable profits upon
their goods to enable them, without loss, to meet
me rates OF discount upon the deprecated funds
when exchanging 1t for bankabls paper. At the
present time this difficulty bears with almost
crushing force upon all classes of our citizens.
There Is remedy, however, which we think
mig hit be applied that would certainly rid us of
the evil, and tend in no small degree to reduce
the eXorbitant prices which are In many instances
charged for the necessaries of life. At least,
would strip all who might endeavor to keep up
the present rates Of prices of all excuse for pur
suing such course. Let the dealers, and the
people generally, resolve that they will receive
the notes of no bank for anything more than they
will command in gold and silver. The matter
Will at once be equalized. The mechanic and
laooring portion Of the community will not be
required to pay ten per cent. more 1.-THE difference
between Virginia money and gold and silver for
the necessaries of life, because retailers could
afford to sell for the ten per cent less profit. If
this course was generally adopted, we verify be-
lieve that 1t would require but a very short time
TO give us much better currency than we now
have, and reduce the various articles of living to
much lower rate Of prices than we are now pay
ing
We are pleased to learn that Mr. J. McHenry
Hollingsworth, the former efficient assistant coll
lector Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Office in
our city, was yesterday elected collector, to fill
the vacancy caused bv the resignation OF Mr..

several important positions elsewhere, with great
