The arrangement entered into By the city
with PE,sE, CHALPAsra Co., for the redemp.
ton Of City Scrip at par by the latter, is the
principal financial incident Of the week. BY
this arrangement, Messrs. PEAsg, CHALP Mt 4
Co, agree TO redeem the city scrip, OF the de-
nominations Of Is, rs and So, in gold or ex-
change at par, less the current brokers dis.

with PEAsE, CHALFAST, 4 Co., who shall
give the city their certificate Of deposit for
the amount, and furnish such securities for the
same to the city, as shall be acceptable to the
Treasurer. And that no more than twenty
thousand dollars, the regular issue Of scrip,
shall be in circulation At any one time. This,
OF course, implies a maximum circulation with
the dupl cate deposits furnished p. c. Il Co.
OF forty thousand dollars. Both classes Of scrip

arrangement, will be known by this printed or
stamped endorsement, "Redeematle a. par in

Mayor kiitson, perceiyipg the obvious
conflict OF this measure with the laws OF
this State, refused, on Tuesday last, to sanc
ton 1t, when It was passed over his veto
by avote Of eight 10 two. While We believe
aessrs Peasc, Chaliant x Co., to be hon.
orable men, 1t cannot, and ought not to be
overlooked, that the credit Of he city rests
now almost wholly on their individual notions

be taken to prevent the city going into partner.

provisions Of the Constitution and laws OF the
state. 1t is doubtless desirable that city scrip
should be at par; but, as according to tho ar
guments Of the advocates of the city bank
ing arrangement, the whole sum which can
be thus influenced is small in comparison TO
the entire amount Of our monetary circulation,
il IA surely scarcely worth while to break down
the safeguards Of the Constitution, and to set
the laws at defiance for so unimportant an oh
Ject, and thus ruin the credit OF the city by the
very means used to improve Is.
In few weeks-within month at farthest
about $4,000 Of legally authorized currency
Of the State, will be put in circulation in this
city BY two banks-the Ramsey County Bank,
and Bank OF st. Paul, whose issues are to be

Of our citizens whether it is worth while TO dis.

TIE INDEPENDENT FIAscO IN NEW ORLEANS
BY the New Orleans journals, which we are in
receipt of Up to the Saturday previous to the
election, VIC aye enabled to form come idea of
the causes that led to the failure of the indepen
dent movement in the recent political election
there.
The movement itself was spontaneous one
Of the taxpaying aud respectable citizens for
the purpose of edecing reform in the munioi-
pal missovernment. An Executive Committee
was appointed, and everything seemed to
promise triumphal election for their candi
dates, when some of the h0t-headed ones
thought to make assurance doubly sure by the
formation of q Vigilance Committee. This
alarmed even the Independents, and caused
division in their ranks There might have been
necessity of protecting the citizens in their
exercise Of the right of suffrage on the day Of
election, but there could have been none for
taking possession Of the city by an unlawful and
revolutionary force. Such . proceeding under
q republican and democratic government was
wrong; and it was greater wrong to carry it
out for days before any possible contingency
could arise. This it no doubt was that alarmed
the citizens of New Orleans and kept them away
from the polls, if in fact they did stay away
from them.
On this, as on every other point in relation
to this excitement at New Orleans, the tele-
graphic reporter for the associated press has
been singularly inefficient. He seems never to
have comprehended the points of the move
ment or the great Issues which it involved, and
to have been singularly remiss in reporting
the facts. Even now we do not know the num-
Der of votes cast by the respective parties-a
fact which would throw much light upon the
affair.
This movement of the Independent taxpayers
of New Orleans has thus been headed of by
rash counsels and it will DO lesson fol
them in the future. They should have learned
wisdom from the events of our last city cleo.
ton. In that the most effective argument
against Fernando Wood was his foolish and
agrarian -four message, and the widespread
suspicion that the hunger" meetings last win
ter were secretly got up and stimulated by hin
for political purposes. This killed him. Bu
had his opponents got up all illegal military
organization, lie would have undoubtedly been
elected by default of the taxpaying voters, a.
has been the case with Mayor Stith in New
Orleans.

PRESIDENTIAL MovEMESTs.-Tbe Philadelphia
Ecen0g Buildh takes up the hint which We
threw out the other day, in reference to Came

tial candidate for the opposition to fuse upon
in 1850, and says that General Cameron is, in
many respects, strong man, and possesses
elements Of strength not to be found in any
other candidate Very good. Let the friends
of the General trot him out, and try his wind

But there is no time to he loet. The friends
Of Seward all over this State, We understand,
are organizing their secret club; and in Mas
sachusetts and throughout New England, the
same movements are going on in behalf Of Mr..
Banks. In old Virginia, the friends Of Gov.
Wise are organizing and taking soundings; in
Illinois and all over The Northwest, the Douglas
men are getting ready for action. Indeed, we
have no doubt that in behalf Of every man OF
every party, generally recognized as an aspi-
rant for the succession, there Is a great deal OF
active primary work going on in the way of
quiet little meetings, confidential consultations
and letter writing. By.and-by some of these
things will leak out; for where there Is SO
much subtcrrancan combustion the flames can
not be long kept under. Let us wait a week.
With the dispersion Of Congress among the
people we shall learn something.

THE EVIDENCE IN CANCEM's CAsE.-It ap.
peared on Friday, from the evidence given on
the trial Of Cancemi for the murder of the po-
liceman Anderson that one of the counsel for
the defence, and q jury man now sitting in the
case, Frederick Muller, offered an essential wit.
ness the rag picker Matthias Louth, $4,000,
then $500, and finally $4,000 to leave the
country and 60 to California, so as not to be
able to give evidence against the prisoner.
If this story be true, it may well attract
indignant attention from the public at large.
If the rag picker Louth told the truth, the
attempt made to bride him by man who after
,ssrds turns up as juryman in the case sheds
u ray Of valuable light on the failure OF crimi-
nal justice in this country. If persons who
were 20 devotedly attached to culprits as to
offer $4,000 to essential witnesses to keep out
of the way, can contrive to have themselves ad-
mittcd to the jury that is to try their friends
no more time need lie lost in inquiring how
il il that rogues so uniformly escape. The
secret Of the disagreement of Juries is at once
discovered.
Whatever Interior measures may be taken to
ferret out the truth of this matter and to punish
the guilty, if any such there be, there seems to
be no question but the Court owes it to itself to
take measures against the lawyer who is ac-
cused Of conspiring to defeat the ends of JUS
tice. A lawyer who could offer an essential
witness bride to run away is no fit officer Of
any court; and II the allegations of Louth be
sustained, the Supreme Court owes II to itself
to have the offending counsel Of Cancemi struck
from the rolls without delay.

way panic, there would have been fall trade
beyond ali experience and conception ex-
changes would probably have approached the
enormous monthly aggregate of nine hundred
millions Of dollars. As il was, the severe losses
which befell many traders in July and August
gave the death blow to the fall trade. The banks,
too, which had insanely persisted in expanding
in the teeth Of experience and in defiance Of all
remonstrances, began TO get frightened, and
curtailed as in,udiciously as they had enlarged
their discounts. Hence after natural decline

customary cessation Of the spring trade there
