THE MYSTERY OF FINANCE.

Some things are obscure in all matters
and some things are clear. Because there
are mysteries about the nature of the sun
shall we declare that there is no light in
its beams, and no heat in its warming
rays? There are people who dismiss the
whole subject of money with the assertion
of its mystery, and indolently refuse to
make any effort to understand it. They
are very common in as we'll as out of Con-
gress. That is the sad fact of our situa-
ton to-day. We ask our friends thus af-
Hicted with modest appreciation of their
own powers to open their eyes to the
known and near, and not strain their VIE
sion to blindness by seeking to fatbom the
unknown and distant Congress has ex-
elusive power to coin and issue money.
This power can only be exercised safely
by coming money enough to meet oil possi-
BILE exigencies of the people. When coined
it should be issued or sold (which is the
same thing to all citizens on equal terms
in quantities to suit their needs. Any
preference given to one class of citizens
over another, or any arbitrary limit of the
amount of currency issued, is grieyous
oppression of the people. Money is the
tool of exchange and industry, its monopoly
is the most dangerous and ruinous that
can possibly afflict people. The duty Of
the government is to make plenty of legal
tender notes and offer them to all who will
bring bonds to exchange for them at par !;
said bonds to be held for them as now for
the national banks untilthe money as returned,
Allthis seems very clear to the average mind.
The refusal to give all citizens equal rights
as to buying money is grievous monopoly.
When this is admitted some other things
will be clear also.

and which shall have or may come into his
possession by the return thereof.

ALEXANDER III. STEPHENS FIRST
SPEECH I'm CONGRESS-

The Baltimore Gazette, very able DEM
ocralic paper, thus wades into Alexander
Stephens first effort in Congress against
the repeal of the salary bill. Its criticisms
are sound and pertinent, and its advice
may well be followed by men of all parties
in Congress. Here is what it says:
Mr.. Alexander II. Stephens has reap
peared in Congress, and all the chairs in
the hall are wheeled around to hear what
the decrepit orator will say. Alas his first
eXerLion on clutches is to tell the de,nd-
gogates that, by virtue of etymology, they
are statesmen, and to assure the whole
body of Congressman that he agrees with
all OF them in almost everything, blames
nobody, and especially likes larger pay,
This for revival of craftsmanship We
have nothing against Mr.. Stephens, and only
refer to him as an example. The amnesty
bill is better sign than the Georgia den,a-
gogae-as he likes the word we use it.
-RemoVing the disabilities of Mr. Bocock
and Judge Reagan sounds well. Prompt
y responding to the lecture which Mr..
stephens mixed with his comprehensive
remarks for the benefit of the press, we
notice these things, and proceed to say,
Gentlemen oil Congress, we of the
press implore you to recognize and
appreciate the hour at which you appear
in places of trust and influence; strive to
eXalt yourselves above the demagoglsm of
local and narrow-hearted candidates for
office. Do not restrict your affections to
the little county or town in which YOU
live. You have plenty of talent. The in
tellectual engine is large enough for the
work-only keep 1t OH the right track, and
employ 1t in doing something nobler than
drawing the dirt train of the political
world. Liberty and property are in your
hands. You have power to put them in
peril, or glorify them in the growth and
prosperity Of your whole land.''

THE Bourbon journals of the state
are making themselves facetious at the
expense of DR.. Bagby, who has consented
to give the Richmond Wing his MSS. notes
of what he did with his fifty millions.
Now we don't understand the Doctor to
mean that he ever had fifty million
dollars to dispose of, or anything approach
ing that sum. But he has had fully that
number of mental impressions since he
came into the world, and it is these, we
take it, he which is to furnish The Wing for
the delectation of its readers. The Doc
tor, you know, is up to quiet sortof
joke.

Mr.. CESSNA, of Pennsylvania, has
presented to Congress petition of citizens
of Somerset county, Pennsylvania, asking
a review and determination of the claim
of George Chorpenning for payment for
for carrying the United States mails. He
said he would also at the proper time
present the memorial of Mr.. Chorpen-
ming himself, and would ask their refer
ence to a committee, in order that there
might be a full, fair, and impartial investi-
CATION. He referred to the intense feeling
that this case had created throughout the
country, and said he believed that great
injustice had been done to Chorpenning.
lie wanted fair and honest investigation,
and asked that all officials interested
be notified, in order that any objection to
the claim might be considered.

A New York city dispatch says that
the retail dealers in tea and coffee in that
city within day or two past have advanced
the prices Of these articles 4a6 cents per
pound, in the expectation that Congress-
will reimpose the duty upon them. Chico
ry has also gone up in the same proper
ton, and in all three an active speculative
movement is noticeable. TWAS ever thus,
and the worst of it is, that even if the tax is
not put on, the advance will stick, for it
takes a'much longer time to discover the
reasons for decline than for rise in
prices. tsAeis
