resumption OF specie Payment.

1t seems to US that an attempt up
on the part of the Administration
to resume specie payment by con-
tracing the currency at a time
when rather an initiation of the cur
rency was needed to move the crops
of the country, was very strange,
and miserable bad management
II the attempt had been made six
months ago, it would have done
but little harm. Parties would
have contracted, and made purcha-
ses upon a specie basis, and farmers
would have been prepared for low
prices. a resumption of specie
payment everybody desires. But
to contract the currency for this
purpose, Just at time when it is
needed most to move the crops is
inexcusable conduct, whether from
ignorance, or criminal intent. We
would not do the administration In.
justice, knowingly, but we are fore
ed to believe that, the hard times,
suffering and low price of agricul-
tural products, are the results of
wcll-fOrmed conspiracy between
the Administration and certain
money-changers, to make a hun
dred millions out of the cotton
crop, and as much as possible out
of the Western crop. -Four million
bales at 20 cents amounts to four
hundred million dollars; at 10 cts,
three hundred million; at 10 cents,
two hundred million. Thus, if
enough money-changers, backed
by the Administration, can by col
fusion, lock up currency enough to
reduce the value of the cotton crop
even One-third, they make 4 hand
some speculation. If this has not
been done, what has become of the
money? Has any of it been can
celled? if so, we have not heard of
it, and we don't see how specializing
in railroad stocks made paper cur
rency any scarcer. No, this pre-
cious piece of villainy has been
transacted under the pretense of
resuming specie payment, and that
the panic had to come, ana rs well
one time as another. If the Ad-
miuistration is honest in trying to
resume specie payment, let it gath
or in gold enough to make its pa
per good, and not cut down the cur
reacy to suit the quantity of gold,
especially at Il time when it is so
much uceded.-BroRnsviIIc States.

Ti,e Railroad Election Ira Henderson
County

Without being able to give the
figures exact yet it Is quite certain
that the railroad tax IN Henderson
county has been voted down by at
least Two hundred majority. The
friends Of the proposition attribute
it's defeat TO the financial crisis,
but its opponents think that 1t was
squarcly beat on its merit. Now
if the people Of Henderson will re
spond 10 the liberal offer of Jack.
son, they can get better road,
With really important connections,
for half the money embraced in tho
proposition just voted down.

THE MEMPHIS MAIoRALTY.-A
mass meeting of the citizens of
Memphis was held in the Greenlaw
Opera House, in that city, on Mon
day night last, and Mr.. J. Busby,
4 prominent citizen and business
man, was nominated for Mayor
The Appeal speaks of the meeting
as the "most influential gathering
of the intellect and worth of the
city, ever convened within its linn
its for any purpose" The affairs
of Memphis demand the care of her
best lntellects, and this movement
of her citizens, irrespective of par
ty, forecasts a bright future. Maj.
Busby is spoken of as man of a
bility, firmness, decision and cxpe-
rience, and will doubtless be elect
ed by large majority.

Governor brown on the Cuban Com
plicutiou.

In q conversation with Governor
Brown yesterday, regarding the Gu
ban complication, he said that in the
abstract he was opposed to war, and
would only be in favor of it upon a
state of facts. If the Yirginius was
a privateer and carried arms to the in
surgents it would be amenable to cap
ture but nothing would justify the
butchery of the crew. If on the other
hand which appeared TO be the case the
Nirginius had clearance for an Am
erican port, that it carried the Ameri-
can flag and was a United States ship,
then the Government should not only
demand an apology from Spain, but
indemnity for the for the Virg-
inius, and the allaignmcnt and
execution Of those guilty of the
barbarous and inhuman treatment OF
the crew of that ship. If Spain
should fail to yield to these demands,
war should be declared, even if il
should cost our Government five hun.
dred millions of dollars. The dignity
and honor of the Nation thould be
maintained at all hazards and at any
cost.-Nashvllle Banner.
