A PRACTICAL SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE
ClNEEIIrR AIE LOAN


DOUBLE CROPS ON THE MARKET-DEPREcIATIoN IN
THE PRICE OF COTTON AND ToBACCO--THE SOUTH
ERN CONFEDERACY TO BECOME A LARGE DRY
GOODS SHOP, ETC.
[Irom the Memphis (Tenn.) Bulletin, August 81
The substance of the resolutions adopted few days
since ut the Merchants Exchange is that the government
buy the whole cotton and tobacco crop at average Of
ten cents pound for cotton aud for tobac
AMI pay FOR the same by issuing It's bonds and treasury
notes to the planters 1t is supposed that these issues
will for currency for the country. The subject is
difficult one ard may well perplcx the wsest inancegs.
II has two aspecsouc for the relief of the government
the other for the relief Of the people The project Of the
Merchants Exchange meeting appears to look only the
relief OF the people and Is open TO very grave objections
II puts debt the shoulders of the government of
1925 0000 900. If the government sell the CROP
all may go we but if the blockade be not raised this
the has incurred immense debt without
any equivalent means TO it, To hold the cotton
aud tobacco TO another season. Is worth little
nothing for by that time another crop comes into mar
kct and such supply that neither the old
crop the will bring any prices The incoming
cotton crop Of this year may be set down COG 900
bales Of next year 1000 600. 5000 900 bales the
market the will run the prices down to
nothing The double crop will be worth little
than single one.
If the blockade be raised toward the end Of the season.
the government has the crop to SELL and must ship it to
market No sensible expects that gold can be got TO
ay large amount from Europe in return An attempt TO
draw from Europe $25000 900 OF gold and silver half
that amount would if successful overthrow the whole
financial system OF Europe, and convuse the civilized
world to the centre The attempt however, could not
succeed. It would be financial impossibity The pro-
ccods on the crop must come back therefore, to great
extent, IN supplies for the country Now, how is this to
be practically doneY The government must employ
agents to sell the crop. 1t employ sort Of
agencies to turn the proceeds into supplies buy the
goods and fabrics wanted by the country This involves
the buying by the government through agents. of
many yards Of wooens, and many bales of domescs
and SO many bolts of cacoes, and muslns, and lawns
aces, silks thread, stockings, hats shoes hose, tape
needles, pins, thmbles &c &c, without number And
then agents at home to sell out these goods retail
merchants the proceeds viii stand in banking houses
in Europe TO the credit Of the government. II is fund
of exchange to draw on, and sell to importing mer
chants, to enable them 70 buy and pay for goods. In
either mode it involves the government in an immense
trade in goods, immense banking business Such
some Of the practical difficulties in the way.

sELECTMEN,s RErOKT.

The Selectmen's report is Just out OF press,
and We have not time to give it more than
cursory examination, enough, however to
make Us sure Of its interest and Importance.
The system of publishing,in an orderly shape
every year, an account of all the financial
doings Of the Town for the previous year
was begun a year ago and the measure at
once commended itself to the good judgment
of every tax payer. The cost OF such pub
LEGATION is small in comparison with the
saving which such an exposition in detail OF
the Town business is sure to effect. To ia
cilitate the accomplishment Of such work,
a resolution was passed last year, that "the
Town year should be taken to be closed on
tina last day of January of each year, and
that the Reports of the various Town OH
GERS should be finished and furnished to the
Selectmen for printing on or before the l0th
day of February annually" The necessity
Of compliance with that rule is absolute.
TO have tho operation of the system satislac-
tory to the people. Ten days time, after an
account is closed is surely enough to draw
off and present a report in any department of
the Town service at least where there Is
not some remarkably uncommon proyiden-
tial hindrance. We are sorry TO see that the
iail account and auditors report are not
published in the accounts for the past year
for want of time, 1t is said. We hope the
requisite 10! for complete reports will
not ,-">. hereafter. We must defer
remarks on ne several topics of the report
till future day.

THE INAUGURAL.

We make no epitome Of the Inaugural ad-
drees Of President Lincoln. None can be
made which will not dilute it. Its OWN clear
thoughts, plain distinctions, and earnest
patriotic feeling can be learned best from the
language Of its author. E7ery sincere lover
Of his country, every man Of unsorhisticated
intellect, every heartily honest man, feels re-
freshed and stronger after its pcrusal. Every
tricky, selfish partizan, if there is spark
of true manliness left in his bosom, must feel
ashamed Of himself as he reads il and every
traitorous villain, who has been trying to
mislead the ignorant and undiscerning by
paltering with words in a double sense, will
find it affect him as ItLuriel's spear did
Satan

The n. Y. Herald says :

at would have been almost as instructive If
President Lincoln had contented himself with tell
ing his audience, yesterday, funny story, and
let them go. His inaugural is out a paraphrase
of the vague generalities contained in his pill
grimage speeches. and shows clearly either that be
has not made up his mind respecting his future
course, or else that he desires for the present. to
keep his intentions to himself.
In word the inaugural is not a crude perform
ance-it abounds in traits of craft and cunning
1t bears marks of INDIGESTION, and yet Of st ong
coercion proclivties, with serious doubts whether
the government will be able to crafty them. 1t
is so clearly intended to admit of double, or ev-
en- of any possible Interpretation, that many will
content themselves with waiting for the progress
of events, il the meanwhile, seeking in it for no
meaning at all. 1t is neither candid nor states
msnlike; nor does it possess any essential of dig
nifty or patriotism.
