DECEMBER TERM.-wARE, j., PRESIDING.
WEDNEsDAY.-Charles E. Willet G. ais, IL
bellants, v Frank o. Moses &c al
This is a libel by Charles E. Willet, of Wool
witch, late mate, and Frank b. Dunton, ST.
WOolwich, and Hans Hanson, of Boothbay,
late seaman on board schooner Orville, OF
Bath, for salvage on fourteen bales of cotton.
The schooner under command of Captain
Giles, sailed from Philadelphia December 49,
1864, with cargo of Goals, ON government
account, for New Orleans. On the 18th of
December she fell in with British iron steam
er Talisman, loaded with cotton, disabled and
believed to be in sinking condition. From
the steamer the officers and crew, numbering
thirty-nine men, were taken on board the Or
vile, also fourteen bales of cotton, together
with the clothing, personal effects OF the men,
and some provisions. The schooner then
sailed for Bermuda, where she arrived on the
I'd Of January, 1865, where the steamers crew
and effects and the cotton were landed. BY
an adjustment between Capt. Giles and the
master of said steamer and others owning the
cargo, Giles received the cotton for saving and
landing the crew and their effects. Suisse
quently this cotton was sold for about $4,000
in United States currency, which sum was re-
mitted to Moses for the owners of the said
schooner. G.
The schooner, after remaining eleven days
at Bermuda, sailed for New Orleans, where
she arrived the 18th of February. At that
port all of the crew, except the mate, were
discharged, and three of them were settled
with by Capt. Giles, for their share of the sal
wage. The libellants were not settled with,
and the respondents, Frank o. Moses and
James 7. Morse, of Bath, owners of the
schooner, have refused to settle with COM
plainants Hence this libel is brought.
q Not finished George F. Talbot for libel
lants; Tallman C Larrabee for respondents.

1t was not the least of the merits of the late
parliament that ithad succeeded in preserving
this country in conditions of neutrality and
peace with the people of the United States,
when there might have been the danger of be-
ing dragged into war, on the side ofthe slave
neutrality-suspicious. men who were
our brethren men who had shown their capac-
ity for using gigantic efforts and making gi-
gantic sacrifices to preserve, as they had pre-
served, the integrity ola reunited country, and
who had shown in the hour OF their victory q
clemency such as the World had nerer before
acitsessed. (Cheers.) That people had shown
al example to all the monarchies of the Old
World-a capacity of returningto the condi-
tions of peace by the disbanding of their naval
and military forces, retrenching their expendi-
ture and admitting the rights even OF those
they had conquered. This no other nation in
the aoorld has as get approached IN its history.

Here is the amount of currency that the
foregoing facts, suggestions and considerations
indicate is demanded for the business Otto
day, TO afford accommodations for business
equal TO that Afforded by the currency of Jan.
l, 1861 but there is one very important item
yet to be added. In an article few days
since. believed to be strictly in accordance
with the views of secretary McCulloch, it was
shown that all that now makes gold worth
Las in currency, is the legal tender act, which
forces irredeemable paper into the channels
which gold and silver, or their equivalent, alone
can perfectly accommodate. The currency OF
'61 was gold and silver or their equal. To
make the currency of to-day equal to gold and
silver, we must add 45 per cent, that being
about the relative value ofgold above paper
The act of the government itself, therefore,
having deprecated the currency, we must
add As per cent. to the enormous amount we
have already figured up, in order to make a
volume of our present deprecated currency
deprecated rather than infated-which shall
afford the same facilities for business now that
were afforded the smaller business of 81 by the
solid, fixed and specie-based currency of that
day. Make this addition, and we have the
enormous sum of 81 las, 56O,lO5. d as.
Let the legal tender act be abolished and
specie payments be resumed by the govern
ment, so that business men may adopt the
same safe and only proper system in private bus
mess, and the volume above given will at once
collapse to less than $685. 100000, prices will
| decline in the same ratio, and the wants Of
business viii soon regulate the volume OF the
currency as nothing else can. We suppose
wiseacres in finance, and men who take every
thing said by high officials on trust, will sneel
at the suggestions, the estimates, and ecen Thu
facts in the foregoing, but it would be much
more satisfactory, and certainly more candid
10 have them explain the facts and show how
they harmonic with different results.

CHAMBER CoNcERT.-The Polyphonic Club

appeared to be highly pleased. 1t is said good

performed their several roles, and thereby
hangs compliment. If we were disposed to
criticise any member by name,-but we are
not thus inclined, I'VE could not, for we know
not the name of single performer except Mr.
Thurston, who sang very sweetly. We be-
lieve this is the first appearance of this Club
before the public, and they have reason to con
graduate themselves ON their success. We
love to see these musical associations, for they
do much good in a community. Tie more
music is cultivated, the less there will be Of
folly and crime. The public need musical cui-
ture, and that up to high standard. too
And we believe our citizens are really making
progress in that direction. The recent Parepa
concert furnishes proof of that fact. We say
to the Polyphonic Club, {" go ahead, and you

schooner John Boynton, from Calais, ly-
ing off Harris Island, New York harbor, and
one of them murdered the mate, Robert
Mitchell, by shooting him through the heart

mate had retired, raised himself on his elbow
to see who the person was As soon as he
raised himself the man presented revolver,

alarm. Seeing him make off, the captain
cried out, "Thief, robber," &c. The mate, Mr..
Mitchell; who slept in a small room opposite
that of the captain, sprang up, and selling a
Ratchet, ran at the intruder. The latter was
as far as the gangway, and, being closely pur-
sued by the mate, fired. The ball entered Mr..
MitchePs heart, and he fell back and expired.
The murderer made his escape. Deceased was

The thread Of a cheerful mans life spins
out much longer than that Of a man who is
continually sad and Responding. Prudent
conduct in the concerns Of life is highly neces-
sary,-but if distress succeeded, detection and
despair will not afford relief The best thing
to be done when evil comes upon US is not
iamentation, but action; not to sit and suffer,
but to rise and seek the remedy.
