thousand dollars in 5-20s and deposit
them in the United States Treasury, and
receive 10 exchange $4,000 10 National
Bank notes. Their whole actual outlay
is therefore only $4,000. And for this
the Government pays them six per cent.
in gold on the hundred thousand dollars
bonds deposited. They go to banking and
get six thousand dollars 10 gold from
the Government, and what else they can
make. Is it strange they are declaring
profits and dividends Of twenty-five per
cent per annum ? Can single one Of
them break without some waste, fraud or
dishonesty The producing classes Of
this country, from whom all the taxes
come, are now paying $20,000,000 an
pually in gold for the benefit Of these
bankers, or about s3O,0O0,OOO in cur

Letter from Alabama.

MONTGOMERY. ALA. Aug. %. 1865.
EDITeRs LEDGER; The Democracy are
prosecuting the campaign with vigor
that was never before known in the
history Of the State. Frequent and en-
thusiastic meetings are held, bsrbecues
are given and speeches made with all the
enthusiasm down-trodden people are
capable Of showing. We are gaining
strength daily from the ranks of the Re-
publicans. Since the adjournment of
the Legislature several members have
quit the party with disgust. The Sena-
tor from Marriage county, who was APP
pointed an elector for his district, has
published a card resigning his appoint
ment, and announcing his intention TO
make speeches for Seymour and Blair.
Another strong indication Of the waue
Of the Radical party is, that one month
ago. there we're seven Republican papers
published 10 this State. Nov there are
only two, the balance having gone down
for want Of patronage. The State SEN
finei, published in this city as 8 daily,
and the chief organ Of the party, sus-
pended last week, and now the editor
can be heard eursing the party for set
Of carpet-baggers and scoundrels, who
have swinjlsd him largely. There can
be no doubt IS the case now stands that
the Democracy win carry the State BY a
handsome majority. ~ .a
The Legislature adjourned 10 meet on
the frsiMondAy IN November, which is the
day before the election. There vas . de-
sign 10 this lis the intention 70 take
