Locking Up Greenbacks.

4 great deal has been said of late about "locking up greenbacks" for the purpose of making money scarce, aud to those unversed in financial strategy the follow
 ing explanation of the process will be found interesting. The following was the mode first employed: Several parties would consolidate their capital to the ex- tent of several hundred thousand dollars in greenbacks, and leaving this heavy amount as collateral security with some moneyed institution, borrow an equal amount at say seven per cent interest
 The collateral, of course, could not be used by the institution. With the fresh supply of funds the operators would pro- ceed to second bank and lock up another heavy amount of greenbacks, and so keer on until they had removed from circula
 tion several millions of money. Strin- gency would follow; speculative shares would decline, and the operators would step in and reap the benefit of their sharE practice. The acceptance of grcenback collaterals by the banks accustomed SC much dissatisfaction and complaint thai they finally abandoned the practice, and the plan now pursued for locking uI greenbacks is to borrow them on railway stocks.--St. Louis Journal of Commerce

what WorG Will no.

About twenty three years ago col ony of German immigrants settled at New Braunfele, at the junction of the Guadaloupc and Comal rivers in Texas.
 They worked hard, were frugal and sober. and now can boast of n flourish ing city and county scat containing four thousand inhabitants. Comal county embraces near nine hundred
 square miles of fertile land in high state of cultivation. The principal
 staples are corn and cotton. and in the town of New Braunfels new houses are springing up on every side. This town possesses thirty dry goods stores, three flour mills, three saw
 mills. one cotton and one wooden cloth
 manufactory, sash factory, and work
 shops for every trade. The Southwest is supplied with carriages, wagons,
 saddletrees and barrels from this place.
 It is an extensive cotton mart, export ing to Mexico annually several thou sand bales. The town has immense water power, the Comal river having in a little over mile fall or momen- tun of two thousand horse power.
 The county is well supplied with
 schools. one ofthem having an average attendance,of about three hundred pu- pills. E. This is the fruit of twenty-three years of labor, and while we do not look for a New Braunfcls, a hundred
 times repeated, within the confines of
 this State, there should be no rashness in believing that we can at least equal
 the industry of the German colony in Texas. Itis not necessary here to be-
 gin at the very beginning. Land, fer tile land, is abundant and can be bought
 at low price. Railroads, which
 govern the value of produce, traverse
 every part of the State. There is at
 our doors laboring population which,
 under proper supervision and direc- tion, will answer our purpose better
 than any other kind of labor which we could now obtain. We have the re-
 sources, and knew how to develop them; and the example of the little Texas town must not be overlooked be-
 cause we have made a lair crop of cot ton, rice, and corn. 'Comal marked each stride forward by the erection oi
 a mill or factory. and the same should
 bedone hcre. Waterpowerca can always
 be found and wood for buildings and for fuel can be cut for a trifie. South Carolina is ready and willing and, if her people will give her an oppor. tunity, she will make it evident that work will do for us all that it has done for the States of New England and the cities and towns of the West.

The Necessity and Value Oi
 Newspaper Advertising.

If a broad, brilliant archway of light, as fuli Of splendor as a rainbow, span ned the heavens, each end resting on either ocean, slncwd, thoughtfultrades- men would pay enormous sums to have their names inscribed on this veritable ''bow of promise" Such is the newspaper press. Its lettering never grows dim, continent is over
 shadowed by its broad cxpanse, and millions read it's varied inscriptions. By such means the amount or sales is augmented, and capital is rapidly
 'sturnAd over" and thus it happens
 that they who advertise most sell most,
 and therefore always sell most cheap
 lv. The merchant who reinvests his
 capital every month can afford to sell
 goods and wares for one-twelfth the
 profit charged by the slow dealer, who
 never advertised, and sells out only
 once year. The more the merchant
 sells the oftener he reiuvests and the
 cheaper become his goods. II has
 therefore been found by farmers that
 they buy the cheapest goods from those
 who advertise the most. Piacards aud

Each day the fifteen or Rs,atv thousand subscribers to the new sprL grs r-ad the story. and the five borrow crs in each subscriber make the i.umber of readers quite sixty thousand. Through days and weeks the advertisement goes forth, aud each day new class of. men is reached by the ubiquitous newspaper. The name and number of the house advertised becomes so well known to each reader. that every inquirer for goods is sent tothe place made familiar by the news paper. The newspaper invades every household in the city and every village on every railway line. In the country it is preserved with sedulous care, and passes from one house to another. Standing cards thus wear grooves in the memories or the people, and when they visit the city, the name and number, never for gotten, gather purchasers.

The E-Sfe cts Of the Election Of Qenerssi Grant In tlsc South.

We have observed our Southern cx- changes carefully since the election, and have been unable to discover, with
 but ono or two exceptions, the cxhibi- -ion cf any other feeling than that of
 sincere acquiesccHee in the success of
 Genera! Grant. For the most part the
 Southern leading papers have cschew-
 ed the discussion of politics in any
 spirit of bitterness, and, like pfcmi-
 nent Georgia paper, suggest to the Southern people the propriety. of set tling down calmly and taking q busi- ness view of the situation. They da not advise & Southern State to abate
 enc jot of her claims to constitutional equality, or withdraw a eingle protest she inny have made against the usurpa-
 ions of T Radical Congress; but they advise. s'Let not the intellect and energy orsheg South bewholly devoted 10 the themes" These are wise and timely suggestions, and we repeat, in- stead ofraRcoreus partisan articles, we arc glad to see that the pens Of the most influential Sorthern writes are already devoted to the consideration of topics calculated to attract the atten- tion of capitalists to the vast resources of the country, and by building new railroads, new telegraph lines. cstab fishing new lines of steamers, erecting free school-houses. organizing agricpl- tnral societies and offering premiums for the best specimens of agricultural products, not only restore the South to her pristine prosperity, but open a pathway for her to reach still higher degree Of wealth and greatness.A It is only necessary for our Southern friends to continue in this conrse, which is one signally demanded by the progress of the age and of the Ameri- can nation particularly, to insure for them complete restoration to their and influence. It is folly for them tG contend any longer against the ereceasiructscn law, bad and tyrani- cal as they are, 90 long as the political power Of tac country rests in the hands it now does, We believe that in tho pursuit of psac cefll avocations, in efforts for the development Of the hidden wealth or the country find io the establishment Of law and order in dis fricts where confusion and anarchy rpag have prevailed. and nay still pre- vail, the south will find warni. true and stcadfast friend in the President elcct.--N.

Number of Catt,e in Texas.

Tho namber of cattle in Texas. accor- ding to the assessment is about 5, 5,000, 900 and in the whole United States only about S.000.000. The natural increase of 100000 is about one and a quarter million per annum-a rate of increase that in very few years would exhaust the pasinragc on these beautiful prai- ries were there not some extraordinary depletion aside from sales. which amount to abcut 350.000 head per an mum. What becomes of the othe, 750,- 900 has puzzled meto ascertain. Among the causes may be mentioned large numbers destroyed by animals such as wolves, partners, Mexican tigers, etc, which are very numerous. These ti- gers, or Mexican lions as they are call- cd, are of immense strength, and there is well authenticated case of one killing two ponies yokcd together and dragging their bodies nearly,a quarter of mile.
 Almost tho entire population also live upon veal meat. It is the univer- sal custom to kill the first calf they come at, and there is very little com for their hides by vagabond whites and negroes, who make . living by this means. Another cause is the terrible northers, which frequently kill them by the thousand, and still another is the severe drouths which occasionally prevail. The very severe one of 1863 destroyed about onc-half the cattle Of Western Texas, leaving it is supposed about, 100000 head. In spite of all these causes of depletion, they have more than doubled in fouryears, and it is evident Texas can easily furnish one million head per annun,.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Speculation About His Trial.

Washington Dispatch to the N. Y Herald
 It is perfectly well understood here that the trial of Jefferson Davis cannot and will not take place tomorrow. Mr. Davis could not possibly get to Richmond tomorrow to be present at his trial, and if it had been intended that the trial should begin so soon, he would have been notified in person. As this was not done it is fair to pre- sumc that the Government is no nearer ready, to enter into his trial than it was a year ago. The term of the Supreme Court of the United States is so near at haud that the Chief Justice would not be able to preside at Davis trial; be- sides, Attorney General Evarts is still in this city, and does not expect to go to Richmond to-merrow. II is believed that the trial will be again postponed until some day in next term. There are those here who think that the ex-President of the rebel Confcd- eracy will never be tried that the case will be postponed from time to time until some other method of disposing of it shall be found. Some persons of the legal profession are of the opinion that General Grant will remove the whole difficulty by recommending Congress to pardon Mr. Davis and let him go. If this should not be done, it is confidently believed that some other means of avoiding trial will be discovered. It has been seen that in certain cases where the Government has been concerned, the prosecution can make common cause with the de- fendant, as exemplified in Stanton vs., General Lorenzo Thomas and the Gov ernment ys.
