safe and rational solution of the cur

The fear of Reputation vanished at
the announcement of the result of
the November election. The people
have confidence in the ultimate pay
ment of every cent of Government
paper precisely in accordance with
the terms upon which the obligations
have been incurred, and it is folly
to have two standards OF value rep
resented by two sections of the
United States.
The Government, under the eco
nomical administration of General
Grant, who has promised, and his
promises mean performance, will
steadily advance towards a resump-
ton of specie payment; but until
that time the whole country should
use one currency; and since they
cannot command coin universally,
they should adopt the greenbacks.

Nearly all the securities sto-
len from the Ocean Bank, New
York, have been recovered by
negotiations with the agents Of
the burglars, in ways that the
bank officers decline to reveal.
Among the securities stolen
were $4,000 in bonds of Port
age Lake and Lake Superior
Canal Company, secured by q
lien upon the lakes in Michi-
gan. The President of the
bank recently received a letter
asking what he would give for
the return of these bonds. He
offered $4,000, but the burglars
declined to accept it, and said
they knew the actual value of
the bonds, and would sell them
for a fair price. The probabili-
ties are that all the stolen bonds
will be recovered.

TACIT MORTGAGES MUST BE
RECORDED Article 123 of the
Constitution ofthe State, provides
that 'gThe tacit mortgages and
privileges now existing in this
State shall cease to have effect
against third persons, after the
first day Of January, 1870, unless
duly recorded. The general as
sembly shall provide by law for
the registrations of all mortgages
and privileges"
To carry into effect this provis
ion, the Legislature, by an act
passed March s, 1869, defined the
manner of recording these mort
cages and privilege, both as to
those now existing and those
which created hereafter. The law
Tili be found at page ia Of the
Acts OF 1869.
1t will be remembered that IN
der our former system, the rights
of married women aud minors, on
the property OF their husbands
and tutors, were preSeveGi even
without registry in the office OF
Recorder of Mortgages. They
were called tacit mortgages Be-
cause they were binding against
every one, without any recorded
evidence Of their existence. The
law has been changed, to take Of
feet from the first day of January
next. Let every woman, therefore,
and every persons interested in
minors, see that the evidence of
their rights is duly recorded in
the Office of Recorder of Mort
cages. Otherwise they will be
lost. Forewarned is forearmed.

WHAT WE NEEDING do not
deny that we need more labor
The richest lands in the South
now lie in waste, uncultiyated
fields, that with proper tillage
and with sufficient labor would
yield immense wealth to our Sec
ton, and indeed to the whole
country. Of course we need more
labor for agricultural purposes, and
we should give encouragement to
Chinese immigration and remun-
erative employment to all corners
from the Celestial Empire. We
need, too, experienced and skilled
labor for manufacturing purposes.
But what we need first, and bfore
we can procure the rest, is instruc-
ton how to give efficiency to asso-
ciative enterprise; how to combine
the small contributions of many
individuals, the energy and ca
pacity of many, SO as to enable us
to achieve results commensurate
with our necessities. It is only
in this way we can rapidly regen.

Saturday,:::::::::;:;;;;#August 81, 1869

The English are endeavoring
to compete with us in raising
Gotten in several of their colo
MES. Among the number of
these colonies is Queensland, in
Australia. We must confess
that we fear their attempts in
this colony will be successful.
Havinglost SO much in abolish
ing slavery in their other colo
MES they are re-establislling it
here under the gentle appella-
ton of Coolie labor. The Chi
nese Coolie is a half civilized
being and well knowing the
value of money. The hiring of
him as a laborer in many in
stances favors slavery strongly;
for instance, upon the Guano
Islands. The English, however,
are not using the Chinaman in
Queensland, but are only OBJ
tanning their neighbors, the
Papuan negroes of the South
Sea islands, by a gentle cosr-
cion, called in our law, kidnap-
ping.
The most degraded being on
earth is the negro of the Indian
Archipelago, lewerin some de-
gree than the Durango utang
of their woods. All these ne
groes are Cannibals, which the
monkey is not. To talk of
hiring such people is simply
ridiculous. They have no con-
ception of the value of any
thing. A small looking-glas IS
would hire one of them quick or
than a handful of gold. What
Incentive to work can one of
these have other than corporael
punishment.
o This slavery is much worse
indeed than ours was. Here,
the negro was slave for life
with his children; to make him
healthy and long lived was
then our policy. There he is
q slave for a term of years and
TO get as much work out of him
during those years is the poll
cy.
A writer in the July number
OF Blackwood desires the Eng
lish government to regulate
this trade in Coolies, and pre-
vent kidnapping. Bah! bro
ther John Bull, ifyou have any
respect for your former profess
sions, prohibit your infamous
Ooolie trade altogether.
Let not the reader suppose
that we oppose the introduce
ton of Chinese laborers here.
lie will be a free man among
MS, and we hope much from him.
Time only, however, will show
his value.
