yArIoNA1 Board OF TRADE.

CNcuSATI December 5.-ln the National
Board of Trade to-day, MIR. Fraley. on behalf
of the Executive Committee, reported that the
committee recommended Richmond as the
place for holding the next Convention. The
report was adopted.
The discussion OF the resumption of specie
payment was then resumed, and Messrs. Fra
lev, Raum, Brown and Manson expressed their
views at length.
MFR. Branch, of Richmond, said the substan-
tial people Of the South we're all interested IN
the early resumption OF specie payments: we
think we know more about deprecated cur
rency than you do. One OF the worst effects OF
q deprecated paper currency is the amount OF
labor taken from the productive power Of the
couutry. The gold brokers of New York dis.
order the whole affairs OF the country. We OF
the South have not half the amount OF banking
capital we had before the war. He presented
a proposition for relief in this respect to the
effect that S100,0O0,0 600 was needed, and that
Congress should authorize the issue OF that
amount OF bank paper in return for similar
amount OF legal tenders, secured by fvc-twenty
General Ssannard, of st. Louis, did not be-
lieve the time had como for fixing any Gay ON
which to resume specie payments natlon
that, under the troubles OF the last seven
wears can maintain it's currency within thirty
three per cent. of gold, need never fear as to
its future credit. He believed that declara-
tion of q resumption Of specie payments at
any given time would cripple all the great en-
terprises of the country. He would be SLOW
in disturb ng the currency.
MIR. Burwel, of New Orleans, said there was
time when the South took no interest IN the
payment of the public debt, but now she had
accented the situation, and New Orleans, as
the second exporting city OF the United s ates,
is anxious for resumption Of specie payments
at an early day.
MIR. Hoiston, of Milwaukee, moved to have
the whole subject, with oil propositions, re-
ferred to a committee OF seven to consider
them and report for final vote. The motion
was unanimously carried.
MIR. Shanahan then offered resolution
asking Congress to fix the time for resump-
ton OF specie payments. Referred. Convention
tn IN adjourned until Monday.

little blackberry wine from the blackberry
patch as much as those who made wholesale
business OF the distilation OF whiskey. He
desired to exempt only those who ferment
but not those who distill liquor. The bill he
contcnded was imperfect and would not me e1
the ends intended.
Ncagle opposed the motion to strike out the
cnacting clause, and the motion was after
wards withdrawn by DeLarge
Jones, of Georg getown, moved the following
amendment:
Section 4. That any person or persons who
shall be found distilinG fruits, for the purpose
of selling the same without license, shall be
dealt with according to the provisions OF Sec
ton of this bill.
The amendment was indefinitely postponed
by vote Of: Ayes 81, nays 4.
The following papers were presented to be
entered on the journal:
vote nav, because believe that parties dis
tilling liquor for profit or gain should pay Ii.
cense therefor, as all parties engaged in every
other business are required to do; and do not
bcneve that the distilatlol Of any kind ofliquors
is a business that should be fostered by the
State, or receive therefrom greater amount o
protection than persons engaged in more
laudable enterprise. II. Z. DELARGE.
I vote no, because I think it an injustice to
tax one portion of the citizens OF the State
and exempt citizens in another portion for q
similar occupation, differing in nowise, legally,
in my opinion. w. d. JONES, JR.
Whipper said all the exemptions made by
the bill were made by the internal revenue
laws.
Mr. Tomlnson said: There is great guam
tity of peach brandy distilled in the upper
counties of the State. L know it. 1 have
smelled and tasted it. 1t is made 10 sell, if this
bill don't prevent it. If no tax is put on it,
men will quit distiling whiskey and go to
will ft,a,,, 20 f1r
30. Some distinction should be made, and
shall vote against the bill.
DeLargo moved to postpone The further con:
sideration of the bill to January, 1863, and
mode another appeal, calling attention to the
impartialty of the bill in giving rights to the
rich which it denied to the poor. 1t wonld
open, he said, largo field for speculation, and
small farmers would find it better to distil the
whlskey than to raise corn and potatoes, The
bill was also sectional and opposed to the IN.
terests OF his constituents.
Neagle favored tho bill, saying that it only
provides for special tax.
Whipper attacked DeLarge, charging him
with talking for the purpose OF hearing him
self talk, and said that his opposition to the
bill arose from his not knowing the difference
between fermentation and distillation. -.
Elliott invited DcLarge to visit Barnwell
