SOMETHING About WME.,~-The "Cham-
pagne Trials in San Francisco brought
out the facts that the entire product of
genuine champagne wine exceeds twelve
trilllons of BOTTLES per annum Of which
more than three trilllons are sent to the
United States.
We find the above credited to the
Richmond Republic Of late date.
Now We arc not much OF an arithma4
tician, but bad and all as we are it is im4
possible for the Richmond Republic or
any other. Republic to make us believe
that these figures are correct. We have
always heard it said that billion was
more than Adam could com tortabIy count
in six hundred years, but according to
the above, these San Francisco chaps
can beat Adam all hollow, for they have
discovered That 10 less than twelve tril.
lion bottles of wine arc handled in the
course OF q S@iS<6 Y@GT. IhS Is at the
rate of one trillion every month. Now
we understood that trilEon, according
TO European calculators is y b5lli0,a times
a billion, and if it would take six thou
sand years to count single billion, how
long must it require to count one multi
pied by itself, let alone twelve times that
sam. We cannot swallow that RpuJ-
tic no more taan ;he Republic can swallow
his share Of the wine in these twelv
trillion bottles. which would be the nice
little sum Of ten nation billion bottles
If the Republic could not 60 on burst
and bs<rst: with that it would BY folly for
US to try it.

GREENBAcKs Nor A LEGAL TENDER
1t is stated in dispatch from New York,
that in case relative to ground rent
lately decided by Judge Alexander, OF
MARYLAND, the validity of the act Of Con-
gress making greenbacks legal tender
in the payment of debts, was involved
The Judge has filed the opinion that Con-
gress has no power to declare these notes
legal tender. The decision in number
of cases assimilating in principle to this
are referred to as sustaining the views
presented by him. 1t was deemed q mat
ter of policy that the enactment should
be sustained, and an appeal was taken to
the Court of Appeals of that State, whose
decision will be looked to with great in,
terest. In case the decision is sustained
by the Court of Appeals, the question will
be taken to the Supreme Court of the
United States for further argument.
We copy the following from the Col
umbia Phenir, upon this subject:
In the Court of Common Pleas for York
District, Judge Aldrich presiding, an i'm
portant case was tried, as we learn from
the Enquirer, of Thursday. 1t was briefly
this The Sheriff, in q certain case, re-
fused to accept United States legal tender
notes in discharge of an execution against
the defendants, and rule was issued
against him.
The case was ably argued by counsel
on each side, and Judge Adrich decided,
unhesitatingly, that the United States
Treasury notes purporting to be legal
tender are not legal tender for debts
of any description, arising upon contracts
made either previous to or since the pas
sage of the currency Act by Congress.
He conceived that the Constitution of the
United States, as we'll as the laws of this
State, forbade any such conclusion.
This is an important decision to the
people of this State, and as notice of ap,
peal has been given, the action of the
higher court will be looked forward to
with interest.

THANKSGIVING DAY.-The President
has issued proclamation recommending
that Thursday, November Goth, be OBJ
served throughout the country as day
of thanksgiving and praise to Almighty
God, who has been pleased to vouchsafe
to us as people another year of national
life, which is an indispensable condition
of peace, security and progress. That
the year has, moreover, been crowned
with many peculiar blessings; the cruel
war that so recently closed among us has
not anywhere re-opencd. Foreign inter
vention has ceased to excite alarm or ap-
prehension intrusive pestilence has been
benignly mitigated; domestic tranquility
has improved sentiments of conciliation
have largely prevailed, and affections OF
loyalty and patriotism have been widely
renewed; our fields have yielded quite
abundantly our mining industry has
been richly rewarded, and we have been
allowed to extend our railway system fal
into the interior recesses of the country
while our commerce has resumed it's Gus
tomary activity in foreign seas. The
great national blessing demands nation
al acknowledgement. He recommend
also that on the solemn occasion the peo
pie do humbly and devoutly implore Coz
to grant to our national councils, and tx
our whole people, that divine wisdom
which alone can lead any nation int
the way of all good.

REL1EF.-A vast number of those who
are loudly demanding relief belong to
that class who, notwithstanding they have
been robbed of the major portion of their
property, are still as wasteful and extrav-
agaut as in former years. They dress as
fine, have as costly equipages and fare as
sumptuously as in the days of their pros
perity. Did it never occur to them that
the means of relief are within easy reach,
without any legislation. Let them cur
tail needless expenditures and pay their
needy creditors, and they will find de-
gree of relief they have probably never
dreamed of!
This will not only relieve them person
ally, but their creditors also, and through
them the community in general.
One species of extravaganza from which
our people in towns and cities now suffer,
is the employment of too many domestic
servants. Indeed, we doubt whether, in
these times, any should be employed.
Every family ought to learn to live inde-
pendently. These are not times in which
to waste provisions and money upon idle
freedmen, when disabled soldiers and the
widows and orphans of those who lost
their lives in defence of the "lost cause"
are threatened with starvation.-South-
ern Wdtchman, Athens, Ga.
