TIE BEST REMARK OF THE T1hEs.-JAMEs
PARTON, in his letter to the New York Ti7.
bune on the lst Of January, said the best and
truest thing that has been uttered for lor
time. Here it i
Ignorant suffrage at the South is brutal
tyranny TO to the root of the matter. The
South is our Ireland and we are taking Il
hcllish vengeance upon it"
There never was Il truer remark. and
sooner or later it will be SO admitted to he
by the white people throughout this broad
Union. The ignorance Of voters in the South
is brutal tyranny, indeed. Barbarism is,
bv fearful and ruthless exercise of the
power OF the Federal Government, placed
in possession Of the highest rights of man,
requiring the most enlightened Judgment.
The measure can never be anything but a
curse to the country, and as long as it is
maintained must continue to degrade the
nation. 1t is the fate OF man that such wrong
and brutality cannot enurc to the benefit or
Improvement of society. but is sure to de.
grade it.

Our SOUTHERN CoMMERCE.--The Raleigh
Era of Monday states that the Northwest
ern road (of North Carolina) is finished
TO kerneysville, in Forsythe county, and
that the cars are running to that town. The

the silis laid, and the road will be run

This is fact exceedingly interesting to
our citizens. Salem Is west Of the Danyllle

The National Banks

We can hardly too strongly represent the
advantages of the National Bank system. 1t
has the great points to be desired in banking:
a currency that is uniform and equally re-
liable in all parts of the United States. 1t
makes exchanges between towns distant
from one another always cheap and readily
obtaiuable. The banks being based Oh the ma
tlonal credit, and their notes being as good as
the bonds of the nation, they command conf
dence Their good reputation. strengthened
BY the rigid measures provided for the wind
ing up Of Institutions violating the laws
under which they are established, better Ell.
sure their good management and solvency
than did the bank regulations Of any former
period.
The people do not understand how much
Is saved to them in the matter of exchange
We have the best business authority fol
saying that this city saves s250,000 pei
annum compared with the sum annual,
paid for exchange before the war. There il
great saving, moreover, as we said ycster
day, in the cost of returning and collecting
the State bank notes under the old system.
The war gave us this system. 1t coult
not have been established but for the war
Under the eXigency of the war. however, i
was readily put into operation, while all th
State banks were taxed out Of existence
Chiei-Justice CaAsE was the author of tn
system. II answered thoroughly his object
and even did more; it easily passed out o
war into condition OF peace and answered
the necessities Of the latter rs well as it hat
done those OF the former.
The system would be greatly improved i
it had q powerful institution like that of th'
Bank Of England to watch over the whole

Finance--Usury.

We we've charged by the Wing last week
with seeking to "eXcrse exorbitant dsur!
"rates II, Virginia OF the ground that usurs
. s.asss do not exist in England" srea.
mistake. The Wing went ont to seek, ana
IL sought to prove, that abundance OF money
was caused by low rates of intcrcst--hot
tbst abundance caused low rate:-and al
duced the condition OF money in England to
prove It. The Wig went out for wool and
came back shorn.
The Dispatch replied that 1t was the
abundance that caused the low rate; but
added that the Wing was further mistaken
In the idea that the low rate was permanent,
because the Bank of England, which regu'a-
ted the money market. often put up the rate
to 6, 8, and 10 per cent. and what Is The an
swer of the Whig' II is that
"The Bank Of England IL now the great
regulator of the value Of money, ana IL 'he
terror of usuIers."
So that the Wing confcsses that 1t Is q
"terror to usurers' TO raise the price OF
interest. This is giving up its whole theory
Of usury. While it is correct that the adj
vance of the rates By the bank puts check
upon usury, that confessed fact destroys its
own theory that to put low rate of interest
upon money and prohibit any higher rate
makes money easy and protects the borrower.
That theory is the very reverse OF the piac'
tice of the Bank of England, which the
Wig regards as terror TO " usurers.'
But the Wing cndcayors to escape the
sequence of its own confession by saying
that "if we had the abundant money of
England. which is seen to assert its
power for the benefit Of industry and in
repression Of usurcrs, we might talk
"about free trade in money The mystery
and fog OF this paragraph rcuders it hard to
sec through. 1t we understand it, it means
this that when people haye little money they
must tenaciously adhere to low rates OF
interest, and when they have plenty they
may, like the Bank Of England, charge high
rates to punish "usurers.'
In the discussing Of finance and tn" Iaw OF
supply and demand we never saw an argyll
msnt so entirely illogical. 1t is the same as
if we were told not to irrigate our land:
by the construction Of bitches when We
have no rains, but to cut great many
bitches for that purpose when the rains
nre copious and at short intervals. When
we are poor and have no money and
only slender securities, we must lower The
rate of interest TO induce the money to flow
in upon us, and must only resort to hsl
rates when we have a plenty and wish tt
punish the uSurerS. This is loOkipag
