Paper Currency.
Honolulu, August

HoSoLULU, August 18th, 1860.
Me. EnITos When a proposition is put forth to
saddle the public with Paper Currency, and attempts
to legslize it as a tender has been made, il is time to
look after our own interests. l received a letter this
week from one Of the other Islands giving the views
sustained there on the subject, the following Is an
extract
81 hardly understand this Paper Currency propo-
sition but l think il would do harm TO the place If
introduces. l can understand however how it might
benefit the bankers. If they can invest their capital
in Ezchequer Bills bearing 10 per cent interest and
upon lodging them with government as a security,
be allowed to issue their paper TO the amount of such
security, they will double their capital and work it
nicely. 1t would benefit them and not the public,
and it would require too many checks to give conf
dence to the community. 1t would be difficult to
make q paper system here. Besides it might be
worked to injury with any loose Minister Of Finance,
though I think the present proprietor of the bank is
too honest q man to do anything of the sort"
The bankers profess it to be q measure for the
public interest, and I am free to denounce it as a
public humbug. I am already a sufferer by the bank
on q specie basis TO Wit Sometime ago Mr.. James
Dowsett called at my store requesting me to cash his
check on the bank, as it was closed for the day and
he wanted to send of q schooner to windward for po-
tatoes to supply the shipping, I obliged him and gave
him silver money without a premium for the check.
The next day 1 sent the check TO be cashed at the
bank and seceived the amount $500 in slugs, which
coin was scarce but current for Fifty Dollars each.
The succeeding day I saw a bank notice - Slug.
reduced TO S47 so" I sent back what I had re-
ceived the day previous with explanation. The slugs
were returned TO me and | was laughed at for my
pains. The bank and not the people had put them
down. l consider | have unwiilingly subscribed
fifteen dollars 10 the capital of the bank. So sure as
a charter is given So sure IS there danger of suspen-
sion Of specie payment, for the specie will be drained
out Of the country. The measure will afford en-
creased opportunities for one of the partners import
ing more largely and controlling the markets in the
purchase of exchange. The bank so constituted
would be upon a false basis. 1t might be beneficial
to themselves, but a curse to the public.

BCRSED AT THE ST.KE-Thet town Of Buchanan,

aNl terrified negro, g!ai of q chance to save himself,
And Neil-kuOwIng who his captors wished him 10 &C
euse, pointed out the colporteur, adding, also, in an
sTer 10 artful questions, that he had received q knife
from the pedlar, with the advice 20 take il and cut
as way 10 freedom, and TO burn his masters house
S'er MS head IN revenge for the barbarous treatment

often did Divine Mercy condeScend to raise the detected

The sublime faith of the widow of Zarephab at the m
