Specie Payments.

A correspondent of the New York
Weekly Witness, contributes the fol-
lowing to the columns of that excel
lent paper:
Some writer's allege that gold or
silver are, like greenbacks, merely
conventional signs of value and in
deed not so good, for gold and silver
have little real value, whilst the
greenback has the whole property of
the United States pledged for it. This
reasoning is fallacious on both sides !:
|. Gold and silver have intrinsic
value for various uses, bordering
closely upon their value as coins
but five dollar bill has no intrinsic
valne whatever, apart from the prom
Use it bears upon it. If a government
were to fail after stamping hundred
millions of coin the holders Of the
coin would not lose cent, but if it
failed after stamping a hundred mil
lions of legal tender notes the hold
ers would lose the whole. The ill.,
trinsic value of the two kinds of cur
rency would therefore, ip such an
event, be as $lO0, 00O, 900 to 50.
The face value oflegal tender notes
Is liable also to great fluctuations as
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1874-12-05

compared with that of coin, for the
plain reason that the coin can not be
multiplied indefinitely like the notes.
The nation must buy and pay the
silver and gold before it can coin it
and send 1t out, and it must pay az
much for the one as it gets for the
other; but what it pays for the pa
per to stamp legal tender notes upon
is as nothing compared with what it
gets for the notes. Congress may d.
rect the emission of hundred mil
lions of legal tender notes and only
appropriate few thousands for the
expense of their manufacture, but it
could not SO deal with a fresh coin
age of gold and silver.
2. On the other hand, the promise
to pay legal tender notes is fallacious,
unless that payment is to be made in
coin. The government which emits
the notes can easily remain solvent,
if it has only to retire one promise to
pay with another. Any merchant,
however embarrassed, need never
fail if he can palm off new promissory
notes for old ones as long as he likes.
1t is all very we'll to say that the
whole property Of the country is Sc
curity for every five dollar greenback.
but what portion of that property
could get for it if l were to put it
in suit and obtain Judgment, suppos-
ing such a thing possible. So long
az men are willing to take green
backs, indeed, can buy any thing
like with it, hut only at the value
which it may happen to possess at
the time. If gold is at $50 I will only
get 66f cents worth for it. If gold
is 100 will only get 83A cents for
it, and SO on; the amount I realize
being just in proportion to the faith
in its more or less speedy payment in
coin.
Is such an uncertain currency wor-
thy Of the greatest, freest, best nation
in the world

Arrangements arc steadily progressing for
the Centennial celebration and international
Exhibition. The principal buildings are in
course Of erection. The President of tho
United States, Is requested by Congress At
the last session, has extended . cordial in
vitation to all other nations to join in this
work, and largo number of these have
already signified their intention to accept
that invitation. Exhibition space 10 being
applied for from this and foreign countries,
and every Manifestation on the subject
seems to indicate eminent success for our
Centennial display. But, to carry out this
undertaking on . scale duo to the glorious
event to be commemorated, additional funds
will be needed, for while Congress has cheer
fully thrown around this patriotic work the
national prestige. snd promptly promoted
it by appropriate laws, it did not furnish the
necessary capital; that part was left for you,
and not doubling that, inspired by the men,
cries of the past aud the blessings of the
present. yon will oheerfully perform it, and
to the end that it may be convenient for you
to do so. we have adopted plan for raising
revenue which will be brought before you
by = bureau created for that purpose, and
acting under the general direction Of tho
Hon. William Bigler, . member Of this
Board, and who il commended to your re-
spectful consideration in the performance
Of his arduous duties. In addition to the
use Of this plan any person can subscribe

the same in post-otfice drafts or check to

always the aggressors, according to
Associated Press reports, and always
the killed. And this is the state of
things which Southern whites and
Northern Democrats would have us
believe to be quite satisfactory. When
q black man commits crime against
a white at the South, speedy and ter
rible punishment follows, either with
or without due process Of law. When
white men outrage or murder blacks,
there is nothing Of the kind. Justice
is not only lame but paralyzed before
the law of caste prevalent at the
South.

The Southern Outrages.
from the n, Y. Weekly Witness


There is no point on which Demo.
cratic and 20 called Liberal Repub-
hcan papers are more unanimous
than debunciation of the reports con-
corning outfages on negroes and
Northern Republicans at the South
aud not few Republican papers fall
into the same strain. AS in the case
Of "bleeding Kansas" the violence
and murders committed by white ruff
fans are made the subject Of rude
jests and almost fiendish mockery.
In this chorus we do not join. Ex-
aggerated and even false reports may
indeed have been got up for political
effect, though we know of no such
case, but enough that is undeniable
remains to justify all that has been
said against the tyranny and ipjus-
tice Of Southern whites towards
their political opponents, whether
negroes or white friends of negroes.
That We have not many more authen-
tic reports of outrages may, perhaps,
he accounted for by the ignorance of
the blacks and the difficulty of max
ing known their wrongs under the
terrorism Of the Ku-Klux Khan and
the White Leagues. At all events
there are many statements in letters
from missionaries and teachers in the
South, which lead to the belief that
half has not been told.
That the state of the case is greatly
improved at present, as compared
with what it was few years ago or
few months ago, is matter for ma
tional thanksgiving, but that i'm
provement is in great measure due
to the outburst of horror all over the
North at the cold blooded massacres
of Coushatta and Trenton.
This sacred concert of righteous hor-
1or and indignation at which the re-
creant journals in question aim their
heaItless jests, has been the very
u,eans Of protecting the unprotected
in the South. and shaming the Ku-
klux aud White League into cessa-
tion Of murders; but only after the
object Of illuminating black voters
was gained
1t il. however, noticeable that al
the professions Of Southern Govern
ors, journals, and political leaders of
. law abiding disposition, aud de-
and power to enforce the
laws, have not yet led. SO far as We
have heard, to single case of the
Of any Of the pe1petra-
tors of the Coushatta aud Trenton
or any OF the assassips of
colored men or eolored women. There
are Indeed offers of rewards and an |
appearance of being in earnest to ep-
force the laws, but 30 far rs we have
yet seen no one is punished or is
likely to be punished.

Three Dollars Year.
Hon. C. B. Darrall.
from tho Iberia Propress.1

Some OF our captiOus and buster
ing White League Editors, little In
soul and insignificant in brains, are
peculiarly fond of ,ndulging in the
language Of invective. They distil
their political venom abroad with as
much facility as the billy goat emits
his smell. Many Of them forgetting,
perhaps ashamed to acknowledge that
they are the descendants of carpet
baggers, whom they take intense de-
light in villifying, impelled by the
horrid instincts Of the disgusting hy-
ena, would invade the sanctity of the
graveyard and insult the memory of
their deceased ancestors. They have
degenerated from the virtues Of their
fathers and are disgrace to their
pedigree.
DR.. Darrall is proud Of the place of
his nativity and the home of his adop-
ton. By his manly, independent and
consistent career in the political
arena he has secured the respect aud
confidence Of his constituents. As the
courageous champion Of justice aud
equal rights, 40 the unflinching advo-
cate Of progressive ideas, as the avow-
ed enemy of oppression, persecution
and prescription, he has excited the
hostility of his enemies and won the
esteem Of his friends. He is far be-
yond the malice Of his base and su-
percilious critics, and his reelection
to Congress demonstrates that all his
actions, a. q public servant, are duly
appreciated aud emphatically en-
dorsed.
Politeness 10 cheap commodity,
but how few Of the White League are
blessed with true refinement. This
gentlemanly Ingredient cannot he
found among their poor and imper-
feet requirements, and without it we
are driven to the necessity of placing
q very low estimate upon what is left
in their characters. Amend your Ian
guage, gentlemen, avoid rude and in
vidious personalities, and the Repub-
licans will give you credit for more
brains than You now seem to possess.
(From the Attakapas Register.l
The Franklin Enterprise evidently
does not like the Hon. Chester B.
parrall, our member of Congress. The
paper abuses him in the lowest terms,
but not worse than could be expected
FROM that concern. But there is one
truth: If DR.. Darrall had a. little
brain as that corps of editors all put
together he would never 60 to Con-
gress. He 10 just smart enough to
discount them in their undertakings.
He is not dishonest, AZ his record will
prove. He owes nobody any money.
He had plenty Of greenbaeks when he
came to Louisiana, and by good man
lie has added to the amount.
He owns more property than all the
petty GROWERS In Franklin, and has
unlimited credit from men who would
not loan them one penny; men who
are the Oldest and best men of good
character and sound business stand
ing. He is SOBER, industrious, and
sticks like mncilage to his friends.
The least Of his thoughts are the
Franklinites. Now, sail in Mr.. En-
terprise, and substantiate any of your
charges against him. We defy you
to do 80. If You can't do it, then dry

Planetary FlirtatiOnS.

The fashionable events in celestial
society for the ensuing months Of this
year will be as follows: On the 10Th Of
August, three minutes past seven in the
evening, Jupiter and Venus will APP
proach within one degree Of each other,
presenting rare and beautiful specta-
Gle. An annular eclipse Of the sun,
visible in Asia, and partly in Africa
and northern Europe. will occur on the
10th Of October. The magnificent Ve-
nus will be at her nearest to our earth
on the night of November 10th. Oae
month thence, on the 10th of Deem
Der, will occur the great centennial tram
sit of the beautiful planets across the
disk of The sun, by elaborate observation
Of which the astronomers Of the world
hope to establish the exact distance of
our world from The sun. On the morn
ings of the 18th and 18th Of the same
month too, Mars and Venus will come
within three minutes OF each other, so
as 10 seem in actual contact.
