Financial and CompRrcIaI.

RICHMgED Feb. 22, 1864.
There is no object OF importance at this time,
nor one that exctes general interest," than the
cent financial legislation Of Congress- Every body s
anxious TO know what will be its efects-pfesent and
prGspectve-upon his own and the public interests -
Having examined with the provisions Of the
two acts, styled the currency and Tax Bill" we deem
it proper 10 state understanding of their leading
provisions, and submit opinions Of their probable
effects upon the currency and prices.
In the first place. The law dscrminates against notes
of the denomination of hundred dollars, the pre-
sumption that they are, or will be- held chiefly by per
cons who can afford to sustain the loss that may be
occasoned by the heavy, discriminating tax upon them.
hundred dollar note, after the 18t OF April next, will
under the operation OF the law be reduced to sxtysx
and twothirds dollars on the lst of May it will be
worth only las representative of value) ftysx and
twothi,ds dollars and for each subsequent month tha:
it is held it will be subject to further tax of $40 SO
that by the 1st Of November the original value of the
note will only have been extlnGulshed, but tax of
81 over and beyond that value Will attach to it, If
is held until the st of January, an additional tax OF
$40 flor December) will attach to it, and then the
holder by an imposition Of further tax OF hun
d. ed per will besides losing the amount promised
on the face Of the note, the Government one hun
dlfd and fourteen ind one,third dollars Such being
the eect OF the discrimination against the $l0O notes,
it is not surprising that the holders should be anxious
to get rid of them but there not the slightest
sity for sny panic or excitement the subject The
invitation to fund has already been issued by the Sec
reary of the Treasury and it will be responded to right
willingly by those who have taxes to pay Let this
class make it their neghbory duty before taking their
to the Treasury, to exchange their smaller deno
nations for the C's f" of those who have more OF
them than they may wish to fund. They cannot posi-
bly, lose by the operation, and will render friendly
service to those who have allowed themselves to be
caught with a superabundsnce of " the large notes.
Secondly, notes of the denomination of $50, S2O and
SlO, will and after the 1st of April next, be sub
ect to tax Of onethir1 Of the amount promised On the

From the Nashville Press, February 9th

No man in Tennessee-not even Isham Harris-has
done than Andy johnson to create to perpetuate
and embtter in the minds of the Southern people, that
feeling of jealousy and hostility against the free States
which has at length eliminated in rebellion and civil
war. Upto the autumn of 1860 he had been for
twenty years among the most bgoted and noerant Of
the advocates of slavery and Southernm and the most
unsparing denouncers of everything and everybody
north of Mason and Dixon's line.
Why Gov. johnson should have been among the
boldest and oudest of the champions of slavery as
easily and clearly Ineligible his motives for
tire change of front since the former objects Of bis
Jealous vice have lost the power to ward him. 1t
is true that, in early lite, when his political aspirations
were limited to a seat 10 the State Legislature from
Greene county, bis white basis thereby helped him
among population where there Was scarcely slave
holder Bat as soon he began to embraca the State
or even congressional district in bis ambitious pro-
ects he set himself strenuousy to work to remove any
prejudice which shareholders might have mbbed against
him on that score Half of all his stump speeches
devoted to disclaiming bis white basis, and showing
that it was founded hostility to the institution.
He seemed to feel himself required to 60 faster and
further than nybody else in denunciaton of Abolition
ism and all its affiliations
Gov. johnson belonged to the Southern proslavery
Democratic party, and no man worked harder to win

An Official telegram from Gen. Polk, transmitting dis

We fGd, however, that Senators discaim the acts of
ohn Brown in one BREATH and in another they hold
apologies and for the man, saying that he
showed himself man ofenduranee, ofphilosephy,
man of fact, man of sense, and when speak OF
him IS thief and rcbber, and murderer and trail
tr they declare should not cay such things about
John Brown. These may make him ged who will,
and worship him who CAM be is not my god, and
shall not worship at his shrine"
We dou't know that Gov. johnson sings. If
Shakespeare is Judge, incline to the opinion that
there is "no music in bis sou' But if he don't help
to swell the chorus We know that be now lovingly
sorts with those who do sing hozaDas to the and

AN INGENIOUS AND EsEFCI INvESTIoN-Y Yesterday
afternoon Mr. !. B. GATIE, Master Machinist in the
shops OF the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
Railroad Company, now located at Laurinburg in
Richmond county showed us the model OF machine
for which he has taken the NECESSARY measures to secure
patent. 1t is intended to true up the exceutCcs OF
locomotives without taking of the driving Wheels
disturbing the position Of the excenrice the axle
By Ingenious arrangement the apparatus can be
fixed on to the axle, and the amount of throw or
excentricity required be given by means of set SCREWS
causing the cutting tool to revove on ntre more or
less removed from that of the axle.
We are enough OF q machnist TO appreciate the ad-
vsa.ages to be derived - the Introduction of Mr.
G2SLzs apparatus, and n tO see that it iasmple and
practical, but question whether ability extends
to conveying any inelgbc idea to Others OF its modus
operandr. We would, however, say to managers oi
railroads that tie machine is evidently worthy of their
attention and promises to result in much saving Of
time, trouble and Czpuse. 1t certainly deserves an
examination.
