The differences between the Ameri-
can OF English and the French hand
writing is immense schoolboy
would distinguish it at a glance. Mix
together q hundred sheets of manu-
script written by a hundred French
men, and another hundred written
by Englishmen or Americans, and
no one could fail to distin-
guish every one of them, though
all should be written in
the same language, and with
the same pens and paper. The diff
ference between Italian, Spanish,
and German handwriting is equal
ly decided. In fact there is about
as great difference in the hand
writing of different nations as in
their languages. And it is a sin
gular truth that, though man may
shake of national habits, accent
manner Of thinking, style of dress
though he may become perfectly
identified with another nation, and
speak its language as well, perhaps
better, than his own-yet nevercan
he succeed in changing his hand
writing to a foreign style. -snial
4 Close observers have long beer
aware, that the natural handwriting
Chat not acquired artifcially il

affords an index to the character
of the individual. 1t is as signifcan
and expressive as his physiogno
my, his walk, his general manner

SPECIE ron CarroN.

Gold for eotton-the great sta
ple--is part of the financial prob
lem attracting much attention in
the producing region, In view Of
tho fact that q return to specie
values is pending before Congress
and the Supreme Court, it is sub
ject of growing importance.
The Mobile Advertiser of a late
date says; Gil go iaa7e -luoi sdi
"New York letters to Southern bankers
and agents are making anxious inquiries
on the sRbject and there is particular
solieituds to know if it be true that
planters are putting away the ayails Of
their crops in gold at home or sterling
abroad. They can get but one truthful
answer to the query, for the affirmative
answer is VIGOROUSLY and almost unex-
cePtionably the correct one.p OFT =
We know not if this be true, but
it could, and should be. California
has been to a great degree indie
pendent, because she made the
paper currency of the government
worth only its real value. She
produced an article-the world
agreed representative of values. So
do the b eotton-producing States.
That article does command price
every where. 1t carried the balance
of trade in favor of this country as
against the world for years. II
planters would appreciate and seize
the opportunity, by demanding gold
as its equivalent, and holding it, as
well as they may, they can make
themselves Independent of fuctua.
ton in money values as the Pacific
Coast people have done. If cotton
could be held this way for two years
eonsecutively, it would burst the
big rings of Boston and New Yorh
which now baton on our necessi
ties, and use the products ofSouth
ern labor to gamble on. TIL,
surest way to bring about resump
ton of specie payment, would be t.
sell cotton, and invest in gold. 1
would make the cotton region tn,
capitalist region. The planter, tn,
merchant and the shipper of tn
South would soon cease to be tn
football of telegraphic dispatche
from Wall street or Liverpool. Ii
time he would command, as b
formerly did, the market.

courts viii not appeal to those tri-
bunals-for q redress of grievances,
but will be apt to take the law in
their own hands and execute it &C
cording to their liking. Every man
of common sense must see that
this is a legitimate fruit Of the poll
ey pursued in the selection of the
Judiciary Of this State. The Gov
ernor arbitrarily appoints Judges
where he is satisfied that one of his
partisans, who would /" fill the bill,
as he himself expresses it, could
not be elected. The Judges, there
fore, feel no responsibility to the
people, and their administration
of the law is in accordance
with the wishes Of the one to
whom they owe their official exist
ence. The position we are endeayI
oring to enforce has just received a
terrible illustration in Indiana. 1t
is stated that Sin consequences of
some bubble in law matters" the
release of the Reno brothers and
| Anderson, charged with robbery
! and murder, was regarded as proba-
BILE, at the next term of the court.
The Vigilance Committee therefore
determined to hang the men who
had become terrer to the commu-
nifty around Seymour. Could the
people have had confidence that
these desperadoes would have been
punished according to their crimes
by the legally constituted authori-
ties, the disgraceful scene enacted
in New Albany would not have oc-
Cured. This terrible episode has
its moral for us in Tennessee. The
courts must be impartial, and "right
and Justice administered without
sale, denial or delay" We implore
the Legislature to see that this be
done, that our State may escape the
legitimate fruits of such an admis-
tration of the law as is furnished by
4 4
the Judge of'the Criminal Court OF
Memphis We implore the Legis-
lature to secure to the people q
judiciary which will command
their respect and confidence, that
the State may be saved from the
terrible results which vigilance
committees and regulators are sure
to bring upon communities. We
once had such judiciary and We
can have it again if our Legislators
can rise to the dignity of states
manship and grapple with this
question in the light of experience
, and justice. Experience has Ger.
tainly demonstrated to the mos
: | prejudiced and honest Radica
2 that we cannot have such q judi
5 ciary under the policy of Gov
BrOwnlow.
