remains with the Enquirer Of an attempt

ing into the fight.
COTTON FOR CURRENCY.

The cotton factors have lately revived
the attempt to exact currency in settle
ment for cotton sold, instead Of sterling
or domestic exchange, as heretofore. We
regard this as an eminently wise regula-
ton, even though it will involve mate
| rial reduction in the nominal prices. But
there is no advantage to the factor in
selling cotton say at twenty cents, and re-
ceiving for it bill Of exchange on which
he suffers loss OF five or six per cent.
Manifestly it would be to his advantage to
sell for currency, which he can at once
remit TO his client in the country, and
thus save the expense and avoid the risks
of exchange. 4 rigid adherence to such
a course would result in bringing cash
into the State. and putting it into
actual circulation in the hands Of the peo-
pie, for SO long as the banks continue
their policy Of suspension their deposits
will gradually diminish, and only small
sums Of currency, and that on special
conditions, will be intrusted to them at
all. Money in bank is always regarded
as cash On hand, and any regulation that
interposes to change this well understood
relation between the banker and his dc.
positors keeps money out Of banks. Peo-
pie do not like to place their ready money
where they can not get it at moments
notice. Aside from any feeling Of wan:
of onfdence in the ultimate ability to
pay, the uncertainty about prompt pay
ments forces the business men to become
their own bankers until a return to the
normal condition Of financial affairs.
We have now a stock Of cotton on hand
in this city OF trifie over fifty thousand
bales. which, considering the light receipts
since the first O: September, is excessive as
compared with last year when with re.
ceipts Of 1866 bales, there were only
S9,231 left On hand. showing sales of
47,72O. Tue sales this year for the same
period have been only about 16, 900 bales.
These estimates are made upon transac.
tons IN receipts proper. as they are
known in commercial parlance. but show,
nevertheless. a backward season in re.
ceipts and more than corresponding
stagnation in sales and clearances. In
the meantime il should be borne in mind
that there is no unusual scarcity in Liver.
pool, Havre, New York or Boston. Spin.
ners are supplying themselves from Other
ports than New Orleans, with cotton
which we once reasonably expected right
fully belonged to our traffic. It has been
me: on the way side by buyers with cash
in hand. and spirited away.
4 regulation, therefore. that promises
the PLANTER ready currency will attract
his attention, and induce him to strain
point to hurry forward his bales.

NOTICE..

CLEARING HoCsR,
Rev Orleans, October e. 1873.
The ASSOCIATED BANKS and BANKERS through
the Clearing Eouse Of New Orleans. find it neces-
sary to prOlong the time FOR the resumption OF
rency payne nts beyond the thirty days at first
contemplated - sufficient for that purpose.
This course il deemed imperative for the follow
ing reasons:
!. The amount OF currency in The banks has not
materially increased during the past thirty days
2. 1t is impossible to increase this supply of cur
go scarce and high-the premium now ranging at
four to five per cent.
This high rate is caused by the large demand for
remittances fol collections due the West and the
North. These collections being made in full,
without renewal by partial payments or by extern
sions, thus Gripping our merchants and forcing
them 20 ask extensions on local and discounted
obligations, and also deprivng the banks of that
income which could be used in granting facilities
for new business, in pre- parng for more speedy
resumption.
g. The only remedy we can see is in the moving
of our crops of cotton sugar and molasses, by
which the indie btedness Of the country to the city
will be lquidated, and exchange will be made suf-
fcient to reduce the premium to par, and afford
means to purchase currency at the North giving
our banks a supply adequate for resumption.
By order.

they will be harmless in case another

from timid dealers, who lacked the cour-

OUR TYRANTS.

Ever since the decree was issued which
deprived the slave driver of his victim, we
have heard the complaint so up that
this people are ground down by an in
tolerable tyranny. The more ignorant
and inscriptions have generally charged
this tyranny upon the federal government,
without, however, affecting much by their
falsehoods. Our good Uncle Sam has
come in for nearly the whole credit, OF
odium. or whatever it may be that has
come out OF a successful attempt to make
a selfish and Dtiff-neeked people practice
a show Of justice 20 their weaker neigh
bors. But because minority Of the PEG.
pie can no lorge: domineer over thei,
neighbors; because the power TO do harm,
to pillage and rob the negro Of the fruits
Of his labor has been taken away, the cry
Of oppression has been Sc. up and history
ransacked for parallels, admittedly with
on success. The truth IS. the majority
~ -. Peep. disagree H.tu the minority.
in certain esss,,ia. points, ard insist on
having their own way. The minority a:
first resorted to force and intimidation,
but being met and overturned by the law.
they raised the cry Of tyranny and OPP
preston, forgetting, for the time, that
their alleged oppresso1s were thei, own
neighboys.
All Of one race, and large portion Of
the other, belong on the side Of the op.
pressors. who are. after all, American citi-
zens. Certain misguided persons Of for
eign proclivities may rush off to France 70
spite Americans, who will not let them
have their own way. 1t is said, inaccu-
rately, we suppose, that twenty thousand
have thus banished themselves. However
tina; may be. i: is certain that those who
have gone are &C. missed, neither does
wish them 70 return. They are
welcome 70 stay, and those who sympa.
thize with them are perfectly free to fol- I
low. Those who complain ofthe tyranny
of the majority in free America are better
fitted for the sitting cir Of France, Aus
tria OF Spain than the free ai1 of America.

race are no: patient listeners 70 com.

picture of the past history of Louisiana,
that is fearful comment, indeed, upon
the integrity, ability and intelligence
which characterizes the management of
the Picoyane, past and present.
True, this dreadful condition was
mans not Gods work, and be-
cause it was mans it has come to

Of liberty, and her true sons, in the frui.
ton Of her righteousness and sovereign

Of decrepitude, and with rounded form

Of joy and sweet content, wear with regal

make our State bud and blossom like the

The puerility Of the Picayune is patent
in its recommendation to lay its child

"Uncle Toms Cabin" has been translated
into every modern tongue, and has had
wider sale, in proportion to its age, than
any book in any language. Mrs. Stowe
ought to have been enriched by it; but
those claiming to know, assert that up to
the present day she has not had from 1t
much over $4,000. Ten million copies Of
.Uncle Toms Cabin" including all the
translations, are reported to have been
sold; SO that if the author had received only
one cent a copy for the whole number, she
should have realized 100000.
