The exemption bill referred to by our correspond.
emit does NOT repeal modify the existing law on the
subject Of exemptions, except in three particulars
First, it repeats the fifteen negro I" exemption
Secondly, it abolishes all exemptions and details
granted by the President or Secretary of Var to
persons under forty years Of age, except light duty
men and AFRICANS, mechanics and scientific men en-
pioyed by or working fer the govsntasnts Third.
~ it restricts the exemption Of mail contractors and
drivers to contractors personally engaged in execu
ting existing contracts The rest Of the present
exemption law remains in full force . -
1t may be proper to explain, as to the second
head Of the bill, that it applies only to what the
public know as details, although Is exemptions !"
are mentioned But these are the exemptions which
the existing law authorizes the President or Secre-
tary of War to grant, not those which are granted
6y hao such as those of public officers, preachers,
teachers, &c. 1t is understood that the President
or Secretary of War have not bsen'in the habit Of
Of granting exemptions. They have made de-.
tails. The bill revokes both and prohibits both for
the future, except IS before explained.
The bill requires the bonds of exsmpted and de.
tailed men when they called into service to be
abated in proportion to the time they may lose of

A Deprecated Currency,

The following extrac: from one of Mr. Webster's
speeches IN the Senate, in 1884 contains graphic
description of deprecated currency
Sir, the very man, of all others, who has the
deepest interest in sound currency, and who suf
fers most by mischievous legislation in money mat
tiers, is the man who earns his daily bread by his
daily toll. deprecated currency, sudden changes
OF prices, paper money, falling between morning
and noon, and falling still lower between noon and
night,-these things constitute the very harvest.

who are at once idle ana crafty and of that other
race, too, the Catanes Of all times, Marked so as
to be known forever by stroke of the historians
pen, men greedy Of other mems property and prod
agal of their own. Capitalists, too may outlive
such times. They may either prey on the earnings
OF labor, by their cont per cent or they may hoard
But the laboring man-what can he hoard? Prey
ing on nobody, he becomes the prey of ALL His
property is in his hands,. His reliance his fund,
his productive freehold, mis- ALL is his labor. Wheth.
er he work on his own small capital, or on anoth-
ers his living is still earned by his industry and

reward. He then abors for country whose laws
cheat him out of his bread. 1 would say to every
owner Of every quarter section of iand n the West
II would say to every man in the East, who fol-
lows bis own plough-and to every mechanic, art

would say to every man, every where, who wishes,
by honest means, to gain an honest living, "Be.

Resolutions Offered by Hon. J. T. Leach.
Tbs following Resolutions were recently offered
in the House of Representatives by Hon. j. T.
Leach:
RESOLUTIONS CONCERNING NEGOTIATIONS.
Mr.. J. I. Leach introduced the following resolu-
tons for the purpose more ectnnlly to strengthen
the Confederate cause, promote peace, and restore
harmony amony the people:
WHEREAS, The proLracted struggle on the part of
the Confederate States for their constitutional rights
against the Federal Government, which claims the
exercise of rights over the States and the property
OF the citizens not guaranteed by the Constitution
Of the United States nor the laws of Congress is
just cause Of alarm to the friends of civil liberty:
AND WHEREAS. The cruel manner in which the
war has been conducted on the part Of the Federal
authorities in the destruction OF the private proper
ty of non-combatants aud other acts of wantonness
not tolerated by the usages Of civilized nations,
jusi6es the painful apprehension that the Federal
authorities are blind to their constitutional obliga.
lions, deaf to the demands of justice the appeals of
suffering humanity, the groans of the dying, the
tears and cries of helpless mothers and weaping
orphans:
Resolced, Therefore, for the purpose of averting
if possible tie further horrors of this bloody and
fratricida stre revolving alike to the feelings of
statesmen patriots and Christians, and to add moral
TO our physical strength, That we, the members of
the House of Representatives of he Confederate
Congre s, in behalf of justice and suffering human
ity, appeal most earnestly to the President and
Senators of the Confederate States to appoint such
number Of commissioners az, in their judgment, the
importance Of the occasion demands, to offer an
armstice to the Federal authorities preparatory to
negotiations for peace
Resolped, That should the Federal authorities
agree to srmistice and consent to negotiate for
peace, that the President by and with the consent
Of the Senate, be requested to appoint Commits
sioners for the purpose Of comforting with the Fed
era authorities and that such terms of peace as may
be agreed TO by them and ratified by the President
and Senate, two thirds OF the Senators concurring
shall constitute the bond Of peace between the bel
Ggerents.
Reso1sed, That should the Federal authorities re-
fuse to entertain terms Of peace by negotiation and
thereby deny our Constitutional rights, that for
the purpose of more efectually maintaining those
rights at the time avert, If possible. the fear.
fnl and humiliatiag fate Of subjugation alike revolt
ing to the feelings of feemen and repugnant to the
demands Of justice that we, the representatives of
this House, do unanimously pledge the undivided
resources Of the Confederate States in the defence
Of our inalienable rights as fieemen.
On motion Of Mr.. Atkins the resolutions were re.
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
