held 0y foreigners have not matured, but 1t
their holders find that by the demand for
gold they can make a larger profit than
they can by holding these bonds, it will be
to their interest to send them TO be sold in
the United States markets, and TO draw the
proceeds in gold. Many of these bonds
were bought for fifty cents on the dollar in
greenbacks, and could now be sold at great
profit, and, therefore, looking at the Gues-
ton commercially, we must regard them as
overdue.
The above extract indicates that the re-
sumption of specie payment has some
thing to do with the present futter in
financial circles.
The Press takes the ground that the
true remedy for the present state of things
has been left by Congress in the hands of
the present Secretary of the Treasury,
Mr.. Richardson, and that is the fixing of
the legal tender issue. The Press thinks
he should turn a deaf ear to those who
shrek at expansion, and let loose the
forty-four millions now in the treasury
Mr.. Kelley assents to these views cheer
fully, but regrets that the Secretary had
determined to buy but one million of
bonds this month and to sell six of gold.
He thinks if the Secretary had deter
mined to buy six millions of bonds it
would have relieved our own market by in
creasing the volume of greenbacks, while
the increased price ofgold consequent upon
its increasing scarcity would have been felt
only by the importer of foreign merchan-
disc. or the. wealthy families who are
about to spend a luxurious summer in
European travel Mr. Kelley also expresses
the opinion that the restriction Of the
purchase Of bonds tends to promote strin-
gency in our market, while the large sale
Of specie is in the line of Secretary McCul-
Tough, relieving the coming English
pressure

SOME OF THE BLIGHTING EFFECTS,

Our tax resistefs are standing in their
own light, and injuring their own inter-
ests. The damage comes back to them in
the shape of falling prices, caused by the
almost universal stagnation of business.
The interest on the State bonds is not
paid, and hence capitalists want no more
Louisiana investments Of any kind. De-
positors are drawing down their balances
IN our local banks, so that they are left
with nothing but their own capital to
work with. Nearly every work of public
improv ement in the State has been sus-
pended. The New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas railroad is to be sold for account of
creditors, while St. Louis is pushing the
road from that city to Galveston.
Even our most cherished charitable in
stitutions are left to suffer. The pittance
donated to the Charity Hospital has been
sold in the market at the rate Of thirty
cents Oh the dollar, and the appropriation
for the Insane Asylum has suffered the
same fate. Our judges are unpaid, and
yet We hear Of great expectations about
the purity Of the judiciary, as though to
half starve man and fill his mind with
anxiety for the future of his children was
the way to render judges incorruptible. 1t
may have tendency to spur them up to a
prompt and rigid administration of justice
when the time comes to try the tax suits.
We are thus placed in false position.
The active opposition to the laws by the
selfish tax resisters. and the passive &C
quiescence in their revolutionary and dis
honest course By those who are too anxious
to stand well with everybody to express
their disapproval we offer to the world
the appearance Of being a community that
IS ready TO repudiate all its just obliga-
tons. Those merchants and bankers who
now lend their countenance TO the revolu-
tionistS are undermining their own bust
ness, and laying the foundations for their
future bankruptcy. For the time is close
at hand when a city Of regulators will be
avoided by the honorable men in other
parts Of the country Tax resisting is
notification, and q blight that is drag
ging this fair State down to inevi-
table ruin. Next to the spirit of rebel
lion which resoTted 70 secession, it is
the greatest curse that ever afflicted US,
and unless it is rooted out, will lead
to the most disastrous consequences. !
Already We hear hints that tenants will |
raise the cry Of opposition to rents, and |
those paid to the agents Of non-residents |
are deemed especially burdensome. The
provision Of law which protects the tenant |
Of any delinquent taxpayer from suits at
law is beginning TO attract attention, and |
will probably cause the formation Of asso.
Citations to employ counsel. That con.
fict between the landlord'an tenant is at |
hand theye can be no doubt, and we warn |
the weaker party that their safer course is
to avoid it by themselves setting an exam
pie of obedience to the laws.

cious appearance. When we are gravely
informed that two peaceabie colored men

are told that men who have done nothing

in Deadle'S dime novels, aud thus all the
testimony. the good as well as the bad, is
impaired and rejected. The judicial in

the United States authorities will proba-
by bring the more important fact. to

We are indebted to Mr. James M.
Swank, secretary of the American Iron
and Steel Association. for copy of his
annual report and a classified list of the
rail mills and blast furnaces in the United
States, corrected to November 1st, 1878.
The number of charcoal. bituminous coal,
coke, and anthracite blast furnaces in this
state is put down at thirty-nine, only three
states, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio
outnumbering us in blast furnaces. To be
the fourth state in this great industry is
