The Presidents Message.

SOMETHING ABOUT The FOREsHADOwING OF
tbs DOCUMENT.
The New York Herald having exhausted its
theme Of "Cs-ssrism, - il now seeking to make
the President responsible for the teIegraphing
OF a misstatement Of what the President really
said in his annual message in relation to our
unsettled Affairs with Spain; fret, through the
general press associations OF this country: and
next, through Reuters European news agency.
And the charge has been made that the mis-
representation WAS for speculative purposes,
With which the Presidents name is disrspu-
tably ConIeCtedi Apart from the speculstions
OF the New York Herald, il has been stated in
aIOther quarter that an abstract OF the mes
sage was carefully prepared for the purpose of
preventing the usual gsTb!ing of the document
which, IL is further ssid, has always occurred
when unauthorized abstracts of such papers
have been made; and that if any garbling oc-
Cured sfterwsrd it was done elsewhere than in
Washington.
Now, We recol'ect distinctly that the agents
here Of the two general press associations, in
their foreshafOwisg OF points in the Presi-
dents message, said that their inform alton WA
derived from friends of the President, who had
converted with them freely after he had COM
pleted his message; ami ID was therefore reason
ably to be inferred that what he had said pri-
yately would find a public Ltterance in his
message. And We know, from careful INJURY
this morning, that the President had nothing
TO DO with the shaping OF the fOreshatowings,
nor did he suPerinduce any publication what
ever nor did any person connected with the
Executive Mansion, or with the Cabinet, know
ot any publication to be made, much less pre-
pare an abstract of the message IN advance OF
Iis transmission TO Congress.
1t Is true that Reuters agent teiegraphed
substantially on Monday what had appeared in
the unauthorized press statement, and made 1t
appear to be the exact language of the Presi
dent, when he should have copied from ths
message itself the exact words, in order to pre-
vent mistake. This is all there is in n. matter.
about which an unnecessary agitation has oc-
CARED. The fOreshsdOwing OF the contents of
The message BY the agents of the two Press As
sOcistons Is TO their credit. They came nearer
to the truth than many who lad essayed the same
service. The individual sources OF their infOr-
nation Is known to themselves, and is a pro-
iessionai secret into which it IS not our business
TO inquire.

The DISEASE OF THE SoUTH.-Our southern
friends are The victims of a disease which crops
out in every iEstitution Of that section. The
labored diseussive editorials of the press. the
utteranees of the public men upon every occa-
SON. the conversation OF the people even in
nours OF business, all tend to show that the
South IL badly afflicted with politics. This is a
southern hereditary disease, and its aggrava-
uOn now Is in great measure due TO the results
OF the war and the great prominence given
southern affairs by the national government. I,
Il nevertheless great evil to have so much of
me time and energies of the Young men wasted
IA political discussions and the details of poIiti-
cal affairs. The few prominent politicians are
alone benefited; the rest then turn to neglecred
business affairs, which have grown to be dfs-
tasteful and soon become irksOme and unprosta-
ole. The southern people have suffered much.
and it is TO he hoped that wisdom and e,ne-
renee may soon prove a cure for this disease.
which IL killing so many of their precious hours
which should be devoted to true progress, and
industrial development.

ly brilliant affair" IL was a gathering OF
men Of talent and social status, but unfortu-
nstely too many of the skeletons OF the past
were pSrsded. How great an advantage it
would be TO the democratic party If their old
leaders OF dsts bslIHm days would recognize the
fact that they are politically dead, and how
much more weight would be attached to their
gatherings if these old gentlemen, 50 full OF

CONTINENTAL PAPER MONEY-Massachu
sets issued paper money as early a. I610.
anu the then colonies of New York PENN
sylvania, and Virginia followed suit.
Ahu the amount In circulation in 1873 il
variously estimated at from s. coo ODo to as
OOO,OCO. This had deprecated in Comparison
with the value OF Spanish dollar in different
places, the par value bein z four shilling, and
sixpence. In New England and in Virginia it
took elk shilliDgs to make a dollar, 10 New York
eight shlilings, and in Pennsylvania seven, and
IL Is now no uncommon thing to hear values
reckoned in those sections according to the
revolutionary usage. Especially is this 30 I'm
the market places where the necessary articles
of'iife are sold. When Congress in ITS ad
dressed itself to the business of raising money.
the total smOuDt OF specie in circulation in the
country was s25 10000, and Continental
paper money was issued as follows: 1875, s5,-
ooO,0o; lI'6, 80 600 900; III, s. 600 200; 177S,
sS,50,C00; l7'9, slIi 200 coo, total 500 900 900,
aud thus il came TO pass that q country
having 5000, 900 inhabitants had Currency
amounting 10 500, 600, 900, Gncludinx the notes
Of colonies and private individually or which
would now by comparison amount to a. Co.,
t0O,ocO with our present population of about
A, OoO,OCO. Continental paper remained at par
nearly a year, and prices of all kinds of COM
modities began to rise. In 1I71 II was at discount
OF 20 per cent. in 177S it at discount OF 200
per cent, and the depreciation was 20 rapid
thereafter that in 1850 il took 1922 to buy 81 in
specie. These figures are from a careful COM
pilstion Of Mr.. j. W. Shuckers. OF Maryland,
and it is interesting to compare the results of
imitation in the revolutionary days with those
which followed upon the necessities OF the war
which brought about the issuance of paper
money in tie recent days Of our government.
