be old question 10 whether the whole state
should be taxed for building the levees, was again
broue htup, Mr.. Kent, Of st. Helena, making along
and elaborate argument in favor Of the taxation
for the levees falling only on those parishes bor-
deripg on the river, or liable TO overflow. 1t was
contended by the friends Of the bill that the in.
dorsement of the bonds by the United States would
make their market value the same as other United
States securities, az would, therefore, give to
the State from their sale sum Of money In green
backs as great, if not greater. than the face Of
the bonds. That the State could no longer con-
tinue TO issue bonds and sell them at so or 60
cents on the dollar, was generally conceded. The
bill is still pending in the lower house, where it
originated. 1t will probably. come up again
to-day.

Money and MatrimOny.

Yesterday in Deaderick street, where
parties litigant "most do congregate," we
witnessed a strange scene between the
father Of an indiscreet Miss, who had
loved not wisely but too WE'LL" and the
man alleged to have been her betrayer.
The afflicted parent was in conversation
with the enemy of his house, trying to in
duce that psrson TO make the only GmeHde
to which such cases are suscepible-mar-
riage. As stronger appeal than the elo-
quence of words could furnish, the injured
father held two hundred dollars in his HANDS
which he said be would give the man to
marry his daughter. The money was posi-
lively declined, he TO whom it was offered
saying that he was innocent of the charge,
and would rather die than make a sacri.
fee of his honor to dollars and cents. He
repeatedly asserted his innocence and re-
pestedly refused 10 take the money as the
price Of matrimonial servitude. The par
ties to this strange scene in that busy little
street were colored people, but seemingly
members Of the better class.

What Can the Matter Re,

The season of the year and the late
heated term considered in connection with
the present decidedly cool spell give The
latter the appearance of something not
down in the bills. Yesterday and the day
before were so unusually cool as to be the
subject Of common remark about the CITY.
if not Indeed to excite apprehension on
the part of the timid and speculation by
the curious. Ourselves unable 10 give
any cause for this remarkable change in
the weather, We have TO be content with
only guessing at what may have pro.
duced it. Can it be the result of
late rains in and around the city or
OF big hail Ctorms not far of, or is it
caused by changes now going on in the
system Of upper worlds" preparatory to
the great eclipse of the sun to take place
on the 7th of August? AS viewed at
present, we take it that this great GOODNESS
is more directly attributable TO one or the
other of the above named causes than to
the approaching total eclipse of disfran-
chising Radicalism in Tennessee, the re-
spected opinion of an enthusiastic Con-
servative friend TO the contrary notwith-
standine.

The New Fractional Cur,eDcv.

Inc new FRACTIONAL Currency.
AS announced in our Washington dis.
patches yesterday morning. the printing
division Of the Treasury Department has
commenced the issue of the new fractional
currency. The printing is done in New
York-the face by the American Bank
Note Company, on the same paper used for
printing the United Stat and national
bank notes. This paper, the mode Of manu-
featuring which has already been described,
is superior in quality 10 that used for the
currency now in use. Instead of the fashy
bronzing heretofore used on the face of the
fractional currency, which was easily
counterfeited, an engraved seal, printed in
red, has been substituted. This is the fn-
ishing touch to the notes, ard is done at The
printing division of the Treasury Deplrt.
ment under the management of its efficient
chief George B. McCartee. The ten cent
note, instead of being ornamented on the
face, as now, by the head of Washington,
has the bust of woman, supposed to be
the Goddess of Liberty. The fifteen cent
notes will have on their face the figure on
the dome of the Capitol. Fessenden's head
will be taken off the twenty-five cent notes
and that of Washington's substituted. Gen.
eral Spinner's handsome bust will be taken
off the fifty cent notes and be replaced by
that Of the late President Lincoln. All the
issues will be out and ready for circulation
about the first of August.

Announcement,

The undersigned respectfully tenders his
services TO aGtas your agent, and to repre-
sent your interests in the lower branch OF
the law making department of the State,
and should you see fit TO accept Of my
services, would recommend and urge the
repeal of several obnoxious laws engraft ed
upon our statute books-such as the dis
reimbursement of our citizens for partici-
pating in the late rebellion; the militia
bill; the bribery of the so-called loyal pa
pers, by giving them patronage of the
public printing, and several others | will
speak Of in due time after this pruning is
done. / will propose and urge the en-
grating Of some reforms in our Judicial
organization; also in our criminal code,
which, | am satisfied, will bring more fruit
and better fruit.
The time between this and the day of
election is short, and the citizens busy. I
will further add, that on some suitable
occasion, | will give my views more in de-

The Coming Man.

Those Of our readers interested in the
Chinese immigration movement, and every
one has more or less stock in this species
of China ware, need have no fear that there
will not be enough Celestials TO supply
every reasonable demand that can be made
upon them for laborers. In the year 1860
China and Japan had an area of l, 403,70
square miles, and a population of 10000
600 of inhabitants, an average Of about
three hundred and twenty-five TO the
square mile. They have probably in
creased in population since that time. No
wonder the governments Of those countries
are anxious to find a home for a few hun
dred thousand Of their oYerplus inhabit-
rnts in "the land of the free and home of
the brave"

fcIIpSes 80 Come,

The eclipse of the sun is set down in the
almanac for the 9TH Of August, and the
eclipse of Gen. Stokes, otherwise the "Bald
Eagle" is set down in the hearts Of the
people for the 9Th of the same month.
The two events come close together, the
first being partial and but for a short time,
while the latter will be total and endure
forever. The sun will come right after its
labor in the spell of darkness, but never
again will "Sweet William" emerge from
the impenetrable clouds Of popular indig-
nation. For some reasons we are half in
clined to regret the lasting obscurity to
which William is doomed, but the power
of mortal man cannot make it otherwise
1t is wisely and mercifully provided in the
nature of things that il should be lust 20.

Burglary.

Ga Tuesday night last, some expert

on Church street, and obtained an entrance,
For his trouble he secured the whole
amount of sixty cents from the money
drawer. Hemphill is satisfied that the
burglar is a voter, because he did not
trouble his certificate, which was in the
same drawer with the money. Hemphill
is also much gratifed that his voting pa
pers were left untouched, as he had no lit
tie trouble in procuring the handsomely
engraved document, which contains the
portrait Of the deceased A. Lincoln.
Another robbery was committed the
same night at the Italian fruit-stand kept
by Antonio Corieri, on Chmch street. They
entered by the back door and stole $40 in
gold, SIS in greenbacks and several dol
lars in small charge. No clue TO the per-
petrators yet.

The business interests Of this constitu-

legislation. The mercantile community,

laws. The general economic interests of
the people in every pursuit, while requir-
