at different times Congress has in one way
and another further inflated the currency
to the extent of about $200,00O,0 600 more,
making the circulation now about 81 ,OOO,-
100000. And when, in connection with
this amount, we consider that at least one
third of the business of the country Is
transacted by means of checks and bills OF
exchange, our readers will readily under
stand how enormously the currency is In
excess of healthy business demand, and
how disastrous must be the result to every
business interest throughout the land, I'M
less the food-gates are shut down and
steps are taken at once to go back and re-
trieve our lost ground. We have all read
of the crisis of 1887, and of the widespread
suffering it entailed. That was the result
of an imitation of fifty eight per cent. in
three years. The crisis of 1867 was much
more slight, and was the result of an infia-
tion, in six years, of only thirty-eight per
cent, whilst the crisis of 1878 is the result
of an imitation of one hundred and fifty per
cent. of all money, or of three hundred per
cent. of paper money. In the two former
cases it is to be remembered that the great
trouble was before the banks suspended
specie payments and thereby afforded re-
lief But we have had our days of ease
and plenty, and the agony comes twelve
years after the suspension of specie pay
ments.
This is the result of the mistaken policy
of the dominant party, and we have no
hope of lettering the affairs of the nation
until it is discarded and we are once more
placed in the plain path of contraction,
which will lead us safely to the desired
goal of specie payments.

The World.

We call the attention of our readers to
the prospectus of the New York World for
1874, which will be found in another col
umn of this paper. We should have no
ticed it before but a pressure upon our
columns prevented. The World is the most
thoroughly Democratic paper that we know
Of 1t is always right because it adheres
to principle. No personal Partially, no
party expediency can induce it to swerve
particle from principle. When recently
the caucus of Democrats in Congress nom
mated Mr.. Wood, of New York, for Speak
er, the World denounced them in unmeasur-
ed terms because he was back-payster.
We want a paper that will show US the
beam in our own eye, as well as the mote
in our neighbours. The news department
of the World is unsurpassed by any of the
great dailies, and the reader will find the
information in its columns as comprehen-
sive as it's name.

and she was elected the teacher, and in
structed by the trustees, to take charge of
the school. The negroes, hearing of this
action on the part Of the trustees, met at
the school house, at night, and voted out
the legally appointed teacher and in one
OF their own choice; appointed board IF
trustees, and through them informed the
teacher elect that they would dispense
with her services; in short, refused to give
up the key which they had in their pos
session.
The negroes backed their claim to gov
ern their own school on the ground, that
the house was built on land they had paid
for, and the county authorities had moth
ing to do with their school. The trustees
of this school finding such to be its condi-
ton, addressed communication to the
secretary of the county board of trustees,
requesting him to lay the matter before
that body, and advised that the school be
discontinued, or else such action be taken
as to bring it within the scope of the law.
No action has been taken in this matter
that the local trustees. know of. In the
communication to the secretary it was ex-
plicitly set forth that the school was not
legally in operation, and under no circum-
stances would they Ghe trustees) sign any
report of the present incumbent, or recog-
nize her in any respect as the teacher Of
the school.
Are the rest of the colored schools run
in this way9 If so, where is the authority
to pay? Can the patrons of the white
schools assemble en- mGsse, surprise, and
undo the work of the trustees of school,
to the extent of capricionsly appointing
teachers and boards of trustees? IF so,
why $500 per annum for an examiner of
the qualifications of applicants, and other
items, which, thrown together, make a
sum total of $17,573 A for this county, out
of which the negroes part is about one
fourth. Is the negro, notwithstanding
has big hearted 1ore for the aohite man, to be
made an object on which to bestow special
privileges :? They get more than the share
of our bounty now. One school in each
election district would satisfy the demands
of the law, but in the plenitude of our lib
erality, suppose from the amount of mo-
ney they draw, they get two. In the case
of this school I set forth nothing but facts
that the trustees will, am sure, certify to.
If it is fair representative of the colored
schools of the county then there must be
irregularities inadvertently made, I am
sure, that the public interest required
should be corrected.
