of the dry goods imports 81:

The month of January of last year was the
center Of very large import trade, which began
in the previous August, and continued for thir
teen months. The few closing weeks of the year
showed manifest increase in this trade, but the
new year has not witnessed the continued decline
which was generally expected.

An AocEPTABLE BoKE.--The basement

Loiseau 4 Badoux, corner Of Cherry and
Cedar streets, were not long since, untena-

Of water in Them At times the water vas
several feet in depth Nov, the water has
disappeared. This happy change has been
produced by Mr. X. H. Roberts who has
drilled hole reaching one hundred and
twelve feet below the surface, and at least
ten feet below the level Of the bed Of the
river, where a stream Of running water was
struck The water in the basement room
ran of as soon a. the drill encountered this
stream. OF course, hereafter, Messrs.
Loiseau & Badonx may bid defiance to the
little streams that gave them 50 much
trouble.
This work Of Mr. Roberts is suggestive
The most Of the cellars in Nashville are
subject TO overflow, and at times are utterly
useless. 1t is probable that all Of them
could be made dry and useful by this
method which has been pursued in the case
aforementioned. There is a cave under
the greater portion Of Nashville, and by
drilling into il, cellars could be emptied OF
their water, and where the cave does not
extend, running streams might be reached.
A little enterprise might give our city
thorough drainage and save the cost Of
blasting sewers. Would it not be well for
our city fathers to investigate the subject

Teatman & W

Messrs. eatman & Wheless, tobacco
merchants of New Orleans, state in their
circular of the lst inst that the sales of to-
bacco since the 7th ult. amount TO about
1000 hhds, leaving on hand for sale some
500 hhds, the quality and character of
which is not very desirable; with larger
and better assortment, the sales of the
month would have been quite large.
Several buyers on foreign account are in
the market, and would operate, but for the
want Of stock from which to select, and
will necessarily be compelled to await fur
Their arrivals Of the new crop. The receipts
from the 9TH ult. to the LIST inst amount to
60 hhds and the exports during the same
time to 963 hhds. Messrs. Yeatman &
Wheless say
The new crop commands fair prices the re-
ceipts, however. for the past month, have been
limited. But this may be explained BY the
continuance Of very cold and irregular weather
for many weeks past. which has prevented
planters from handling and prizing their crops.
Another cause of delay has been that the CON
tracts Of the freedmen terminating at Christmas,
they generally refuse to work or renew their
engagements until they have spent their earn
ings in the adjoining towns. From these causes.
combined with the obstruction of the upper
rivers by ice, the receipts of the present month
must be small. During the month of March in
creased receipts may be looked for. but the
heaviest will be in April and May. Oar views
with reference to the extent and quality of the
crop has undergone no change since the date Of
our last report. The quality Of the crop viii be
good. and probably reach the average of those
before the war. Probably $1,000 hhds will be re-
ceived at the sea board cities for export. The
stocks Of desirable qualities of tobacco in the
various European markets is small. and the
probability is that the bulk of the crop will be
wanted at fair and equitable prices, The re-
cepts at this place. Notwithstanding the adverse
circumstances tending 20 divert the trade to
other and less favorable markets, will probably
reach 40.000 hhds.

SrSsNG PROTEST FROM THE national
INTHEsGENcER.-Respondng to an article
in the Lynchburg Republican, the MtcIF-
qcncer Of yesterday pitches into the Radi-
Gals and the Bureau as follows
The white people Of this country will
never let any man 90 into the Presidential
chair by the unconstitutional votes of an
Africanized South. If Africans, or their
paltry number of base white allies, get
into Congress by climbing up some other
way than a constitutional one, the white
people of the North will decree their eX-
pulsion. The mass OF northern white men
have sternly declared against southern Al
ricaniZed control of the Government by
acting in conjunction with what may, by q
possibility, still continue class monopoly
states OF the North. The people Of the
| North trh0 h0re Sternlg dcCrecd dganSt ne
arc ,s1idrQie there lrW nercr submit to q con-
troll of the GcneraL Government by tie ARR
canized southern States. The tyrants and
dcmarogues in Congress VINO are forward
ing the imposturc and uSurpetion may as
well understand this now as TO rccklcSsly
risk what may bciail them III popular
wrath at another day.
We do not hesitate to say that one and
all Of the uSurping military chiefs OF the
| South that have passed beyond the express
letter Of til" unconstitutional and dcapotic
cdicts OF Congress should have been re-
moyed-should now be removed, and their
places supplied by generals who regard

with that of administering government III
c0nsistcncc with equal and exact justice
in the eve of the law and in the forum OF
conscience. This should be done, regard
less of threats and Of personal conSc-
oucnces. The South is permcatcd by oil

at his beck. These have intimidated
white men from registering under the
reconstruction acts by threats OF prose
cution, or actual prosecution and perSccu-
ton OF some sort. They have comtonanccd
endless negro frauds upon the registry ana
in the elections. They have connlvcd al
the arrning OF negroes and the diSarmme

ou,rarcs and often attributed them tt

where negro armed terrorism has pre-
vailed, these little military despots should
have been held accountable, punished, anc
removed. The chief satrapS should have
reported concerning them to Genera
Grant, who has the only power IN the
premises to enforce Justice. By the force
and fraud of these petty military myrml
dons the whites of the South have beer

VIEWS OF CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE ON
SPECIE PAYMENTs-A UNIFORM CURRENCY
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, AND THE FX-.
TENSION or. OUR Banning SySTEM.-Chicf
Justice Chase leaves this city on Friday
to attend court in Baltimore, in connec
ton with his professional duties. The
Chief Justice gives considerable attention
TO financial matters. He thinks the time
not far distant when the Government will
have returned to specie payments, when
he considers all the United States bonds
Will be redeemed in specie. On the sub
lect OF uniform currency the world
over, he is at present much interested.
The currency convention held in Europe.
mainly through the energy and perserer-
ance OF Louis Napoleon, resulting in an
ARRANGEMENT with all the principal Pow
ers-Germany, Russia, and England, alone
eXcepted-to adopt uniform currency,
gives the Chief Justice great satisfaction.
There Is already much talk that Congress,
during the coming session, will join this
convention, and adopt the French five
franc piece as the basis Of the new system.
On this subject, the Chief Justice sug-
gcStS that twcnty-fraDc piece, cor
responding 10 the French Napoleon,
should be called a " Union" and a ten
franc piece ana" Eagle The reasons he as
signs for the adoption of this nomenclature
are, that the word Union s" would rccog-
nizc the uniform currency in force by all
the great Powers of the world, and the
eagle figures prominently as representa-
tive emblem among different nations.
Germany is expected also soon to Join the
convention, which will compel England to
iorego her old togy notions, abolish her
abominabe system, and adopt currency
which the great maritime interests of the
world demand. The Chief Justice is also
of the opinion that the present banking
system Of the United States will become
| general, and that the world will not only
reap the benefits of uniform currency,
hut also universal bank system. He con-
| siders the experiment to which the present
| plan, recognized in the United States, has
| been subjected to display its practicable
| ity, and the time is not far distant when
its utility will be more largely tested. The
great international industries of the
globe, he considers, require some general
system OF banks, and the success OF our
| own and its advance upon the old prncl-
pies he looks upon as the one most readily
to be extended 10 comprehend on a large
scale the financial transactions of nations,
