MoRE GREESBAcKs.--Fiv years ago Con
gress gave its solemn pledges te make pro.
vision at the earliest practicable period for the
redemption of q. States notes in COIN and on
Monday in violation of this pledge and against
the remonstrances Of the large meetings held
ia New York and Boston, the Senate passed a
bill increasing the volume Of currency nearly
a hundred million Of dollars The bill now
goes to the House with every indication thai
1t will pass that body, and thus is the pros
perity of the country To be established. The
most practical minds of the country have given
their views 10 opposition TO an expansion OF
the currency and foretelling the disaster and
ruin which are sure to follow. Like causes
produce like effects, and with the experience of
the past before us it is very safe TO say that
but few years will elapse wbe1 another cri-
sis will come bringing ruin in its train. This
postponing of evils is not craftsmanship. 1t
only aggravates the evil. Once again embark
ed upon the sea of speculation all may move
in smooth current for a time, but when pri-
ces advance beyond the intrinsic value of the
article and speculation runs riot because of o
redundant currency, this furnishes no evil
dence of prosperity, but rather the reverse
a shrinkage of values comes and consequent
hailure This increase in issue will mostly be
absorbed in the money centres, and on these
the heaviest pressure must fall when the crash
comes-as come il must. II would have been
wiser craftsmanship to have reduced the vol
ume Of currency and thus force resumption of
specie payments, and put check upon the
gamblers in gold, and make a paper dollar be
what it ought TO be, the representative of its
value in gold and redeemablc as such. When
this is done there will be a standard of values
and the country enjoy sound prosperity, but
while paper money displaces gold-neyer.
1t is thought that the passage of this bill
mny produce disintegration of parties, and
Mr.. Sargent, a Republican Senator, did not
hesitate TO say that he would sever his connec-
ton with the party lift thus continue to vio-
late its pledges.

Through private telegram to Gen. Dab
ney II. Maury, of this city, we regret to learn
that w. S. Caldwell Esq, oied in New York
Yesterday, at 4:30 p. NJ He was the son of
James NJ. Caldwell, the wealthy and famous
theatrical man of New Orleans, having been
bern in that city himself, fifty three years
ago. When child he was sent to Freder
icksburg, where he was raised. His father
being proprietor of the gas-works in Mo-
bile, Cincinnati and Louisville, sent him to
take charge of the works at the former
place, and subsequently to Cincinnati, where
he accumulated an immense fortnue.
He was noted as Catholic of great pub
lie and private character having established
in the city Of Louisville charity hospital
upon the plan Of the one In New Orleans,
for the benefit of poor people of ali nation
alities and religions.
A week ago he left this city, having been
here for several weeks previously, and hav-
ing obtained from the Legislature of Vir-
ginia a charter for similar institution for
this city, in which it was provided that
there should always be twenty beds at the
disposal of Fredericksburg, to which city
he was greatly attached. The bill was
drawn by his personal friend, the Hon.
Chas. O'Conor, of New York, of which city
he was resident. -kichMOnd Inquirer, Gath

A peculiar suit has just been determined
in San Francisco court. It was brought
to recover $500 as damages for closing up
the plaintiffs saloon under extraordinary
circumstances. The brother of defendant
was the plaintiffs bar keeper, and resided
with his wife in an apartment over the sa-
loon. Falling i'll, she was near deaths
door, when the defendant came to, plaintiff
and suggested that he close his saloon and
the bowling alley attached, a. the noise
therefrom was disturbing the last moments
of the lady. Plaintiff c0nsentsd reluctantly,
and again reluctantly closed the establish
ment when the lady's funeral occurred.
Shortly after the proprietor became the
plaintiff, alleging that defendant had prom
ised to indemnify for losses on account of
the closing Of the place. Tho jury did not
approve tho extE1Ocdinasy demand.

The Riot in Plaquemine.
One Negro Killed, Another
Mortally, and Several Sc
verely Wounded.
The Blacks VS.. the Carpet
Baggers and Mulattoes.

From a gentleman who has just arrived
from Plaquemine we learn that the riot
which occurred there last Saturday evening
was quite serious and significant affair.
One negro man was killed outright, an
other was dying when our informant left,
and several others were suffering frcrn severe
wounds.
1t appears that there has grewn up in
Plaquemines, as in oth-t parishes, feeling
of antagonism between the genuine negroes
and the rascally carpet-baggees and their
mulatto allies. This feeling has recently
become much intensified by the attempt on
the part OF the latter factien to rule the
former and to appropriate all the Offices
and emoluments. The negcoes have very
naturally resisted this attempt, and, being
largely in the ascendant as regards votes,
have pretty effectually sigEified their deter
mination to stand no more such nonsense.
The meeting, which finally brokeclp in a
riot, was the third which had been called
by the Radicals in the parish for the pur-
pose of organization.
The fight Was quite a1hvely one, but the
negroes were entirely victorious, putting
the carpet-baggers and mulatoes completely
to flight, and remaining in urdisturbed
possession OF the field. Their opponents are
either housed in the tewu or are hiding in
the woods. Almost all the mulattoes have
abandoned the plantations and taken to the
swamps in fear Of the enraged negroes.
The resident white people have taken no
part either way in the scrimmage, regarding
it as fight in which they are not specially
concerned.
The negroes buried their murdered COM
rade with much pomp and ceremony, and
are just in frame OF mind which will ren-
der the sight ola carpet-bagser as aggravat-
ing as red tag to All Infatuated bull. A
grand meeting is called for next Saturday,
when we may expect either fight or a COM
plete back down on the part of the carpet
bag faction.

Suits of the Widow of James Fisk. Jr..
Against New York and New Orlea ms
Insu ra nee Com pa lies,


In the Superior Court of New York City.
on the 23d instant, Mrs. Lucy d. Fisk, widow
of James Fisk, Jr., has brought two suits
one against the Liverpool, London and Globe
Insurance Company and the other against
the New Orleans Mutual Insurance Associa-
tion-to recover S2O, 900 and Sl5, 600, respect
lively, for loss on fixtures and property for
merly in the Fifth Avenue Theatre, which
was destroyed by fire on the LIST of January,
1873. 1t appears that the land and theatre
building belonged to Amos r. Emo. and were
under lease to the late James Fisk, Jr., with
provision in the lease that the lease was to
terminate in case of fire.
All fixtures, including stage machinery,
scenery, seats, gas fixtures, ETC., were to be-
long to the owner of the building on the
termination of the lease. These articles
had been supplied by Fisk, aad it was
claimed by the defense that his interest
therein was merely Of leasehOld nature,
and that, therefore, the full value of the
articles destroyed could not be recovered as
sued for, but only the value of Fisk's lease
hold interest therein. The first case is on
trial, having been begun on Friday. The
second suit is to await the determination of
the first ~ s..
For the plaintiff, Messrs Ball, Erastus
Cooke and Homer Nelson for the Liver
pool company, Messrs. Nash & Ogden, and
fir the New Orleans company, Mr. j. w.
