OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsHrNcroS, d. G., October

WAsHIscToS. d. c., October 4, 1873.
EDITOR CHIEF:
The panic has served some good
purposes. Among other things it
has done it has taught us the value
of greenbacks. 1t has taught us to
appreciate certain features of our
financial system. I'm all previous PAN
les we have had a very different ex-
perience from that which we have
just passed through, or rather that
which we are now passing through. In
the panic of 1897, in that of 1912, and
in that of 1857, the paper money of
those times deprecated terribly in
value. The money in the pocket of
the working-man, in the drawer of
the merchant and in the vaults of the
bank became worthless, or nearly so.
In our present case We find the value
of our currency growing, We find how
much we really think Of it. When
our confidence in banks and other
monied institutions fade away. our
faith in the soundness of our currency
grows stronger and stronger, till we
find ourselves satisfied only when we
have our wealth all invested in it.
In a word, we prefer the "promise to
pay" given by the government to
any other promises, even to the prom
Uses Of the strongest and wealthiest
private institutions of the land. S.
Now, to whom shall we render our
thanks for this circulating medium in
which we place so great confidence ?
To the Democratic party It was the
Democratic party which gave us
those schemes of wildcat banks
whose notes flooded the country dur
ing the crises of ~, ~, and 80. 1t
was the Republican party which gave
us the money that we think SO much
of in the crisis of '73. Not until the
battle is over will we begin to truly
appreciate the real value of our pres
cnt currency. Not until the smoke
has cleared away win We begin to
ture of our financial system which
gave us greenbacks and established
national banks whose circulating notes
are secured by deposits of United
States bonds in the Treasury.
But there is danger even in this
very confidence manifested in our cir
culating medium. There is danger

tence to imprisonment for life ut Al
catral Island, California.
The Report of the Commissioner
of Agriculture for the year 1872 has
just been issued from the press, and
is in every respect equal to any of its
predecessors. Five thousand copies
were ordered printed by the Senate
for its own use, and the Department
has had a very few extra copies struck
off for special purposes, but there has
been no provision made for les pub
LEGATION for purposes of general dis
tribution. This is to be regretted, as a
great many of the most intelligent
farmers of the country have learned
to rely greatly upon the information
they CLEAN from this very valuable
work. The failure to provide for the
general distribution of the Agricul-
tural Report is doubtless owing to
the repeal of the ranking privilege,
but this is evidence of short-sighted
ness of those men in Congress who
have such matters in charge. That
there is real J no expense connected
with the distribution of these doeu-
ments is plain enough when we con-
slider that the amount paid out by
the Department of Agriculture in
sending them out, that is in the pur-
chase of the necessary stamps for the
payment of postage, is, on the other
hand, taken in by the Post Office De-
partment.i E.What one department
pays out another receives, and the
government is no loser. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that at the next ses-
sion of Congress our national legisla-
tors will take broader view of this
question and adopt measures for the
general dissemination of such infor-
nation as is to be..found in this report
of Commissioner Watts.

a MOTION TO DISMISS.

Now that Mr.. Loud has been SUI
fered to leave the::parish Jail of her
vile by virtue of the gracious pleas
ure of the official guardians of that
institution, we have no desire to pro-
long our controversy with the Pioneer
and Meas upon the subject of his Inn
prisonment, and shall certainly not
waste time and space in replying to
the exceedingly feeble article in the
last issue of that journal wherein the
writer seeks to crawl out of the unen-
viable position in which the organ has
placed itself by attempting to create
the impression that the persecution
of Mr.. Loud was universally approved
by the respectable citizens of Iber-
vile.
Ali the talk about the CHIEF en-
deavoring to screen criminals from
punishment and bring odium upon
officials for proper performance of
duty is mere nonsense, and in nowise
warranted by our comments upon Mr..
LIQUIDS case. We have repeatedly an
nounced that our only motive was to
secure the accused the same treatment
and privileges accorded others in his
position. 1t has been clear to us that
conspiracy was formed for the pur-
pose of prosecuting Mr.. Loud, and the
numerous protestations of the Pioneer
to the contrary have not altered
our conviction on this point. Even if
there was no other corroborative evil
dence, the fact that Senator Merrill,
in company with nephew of MIR. Du-
buclet, visited New Orleans and en-
deavored to dissuade the State Treas
urer from signing Mr.. LIQUIDS bond as
security, would be sufficient to estab-
lish the existence of the conspiracy
The object was not only to humiliate
Mr.. Loud by keeping him in prison.
| but also to secure his removal from
the position of Division Superinten-
dent of Education. This intention
was defeated by the exertions of the
friends of the accused, and the an.
nounced determination of the State
Superintendent to make no recon-
mendation for the displacement of Mr.
Loud. Whatever may be the result
of the trial, it is certain that the vic
tim of this Iberyille conspiracy ha
gained the good will and sympath.
of many who have heretofore Opposed
him or felt no interest in his career
while Mr.. Merrill and the men VIII,
have made themselves his willing aid
in the consemptible business will fin,
that their course has arrayed agains
them the mass of right minded ant
Justice loving people, cen those whom
| they have looked upon as their friend
previous to this affair.

Pctersons-- Magazine for November is on
our table, ahead of all others. The principal
steel engraving, Crossing the Brook is
very beautiful So, also is the mammoth col
ored steel fashion plate. A prominent feature
of this magazine is its copyright noveletts,
two of which appear in this number, "Theo,"
by Miss Hodgs0n, and "The Lost Inheri-
tance,' by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, both very
far superior to the continued stories to be
found in magazines generally. But, as a
contemporary says, the stories, the fashions,
the patterns, in short, every thing in Peterson,
is the best of its hind. The price of this mag
azine, too, is another thing in its favor. 1t is
but two dollars year. Tho prospectus for
1874 is published with this number, and we
find that the prices to clubs are astonishingly
low, viz: three copies for $4.50, with a sup
erb Mezzotint nc inches by 24,) a Not Lost
But Gone Before" to the person getting up
the club; or six copies for 5000 and copy
of the magazine for 1874 rs q premium to the
person getting up the club or eight copies
for $1,000 and both an extra copy and the
premium engraving to the person getting NJ
the club. For large clubs the prices are ever
lower. A choice of eight splendid premium
engravings, for framing, is given for fft.
cents extra. to subscribers for Peterson 70
1874. Specimens of the magazine are sen
gratis, If written for. Subscribe to nothin
else until you have seen copy of this popula

BATON ROUGE La. Aug. 9th, 1873.
This Institution appeals strongly for pr
vate patronage; the State can, and doe
now give It very little aid.
The University has much to recommen
it; u healthy accessible location, larg
faculty, an extensive course of literary an
scientific study, fine library, much appar,
tus, rich cabinets and museums of Eolog,
Mineralogy, Botany, Zoology ETC., with We
ventilated and neatly furnished classroom
The organization is military; daily infantr
or artillery drill, a good battery and equil
mont of small arms.
Cadets can attend Church in Baton Roug,
and have access under proper restriction.
to the fine society of the city.
We believe no good reason exists for sent
ing so many young men outsof Louisiana I
be educated.
That policy must be stopped, or the soone
we close all Louisiana schools of high grad,
the better. Very Respectfully,
