DEATH OF GABRIEL DeFERIET.

At late hour last night we received the
announcement of the death of this old and
valuable citizen. For many years he has been
prominent in social, business and political
circles, and bore an irreproachable name in
all the associations of life.
Politically, he was Simon-pure Demo
crat, was bold and outspoken in the express
sion of his principles, and possessed the
courage to stand up to his declarations at all
times and in all places. A man of more pub
lie spirit, charitable feelings and practices,
did not live in this community-to which
characteristics hundreds, aye, thousands of
people in this city, will most willingly testify.
As business man he was scrupulously
exact and homes, and enjoyed the full and
complete confidence of all who had dealings
with him. Socially, he was genial and pleas
ant; even the painful disease, rheumatism,
from which he has been for several years
great sufferer, did not, to an appreciable ex-
tent, affect his natural disposition or the in
herent urbanity of his manners. In the death
Of Gabriel De Ferret his relatives, friends and
The citizens of New Orleans generally, have
met with severe loss.
We will give a more extended sketch of the |
deceased hereafter.

THE QUARANTINE AT PENSACOLA

| The good people Of the ancient and quie,
little city of Pensacola seem to have been
very badly frightened by the yellow fever
| which broke out at the Quarantine Station
and at Barrancas with considerable virulence,
and at a recent meeting of the Advisory Board
of Health it was resolved that the ships Won
Moltke and Gulnare should remain at quaran-
tine "unta trost," and that the same rigid
and absurd regulation should be enforced in
regard to all vessels arriving at Pensacola
from infected ports.
If the people of Pensacola determine to
cripple their commerce, and prefer to live in
the enjoyment Of that dolce far niente
which is SO characteristic of and con-
genial to the dwellers in soft Southern
chimes; if their fear of the Saffron knight is
such that they would rather see their antique
Spanish houses tumbling down and crumb-
ling into dust, than admit ship cursed by
his presence, or SO unfortunate as 10 hail
from port in his dominions-why, perhaps,
it is none of our business, and we ought pos
sibly, to do nothing more than look on in
amazement at city using its best efforts to
strangle its trade and to drive from her har-
Dor those white-winged messengers of peace
without which they would soon be compelled
to abandon the city to the fishermen.

the Bank of AmsterdIh followed A. D. 1909;
that of Hamburg, A. D. 1919, and that of
England, A. D. 1894. The earlier of these
banks, however, were not banks of issue, but
of deposit and discount only.
The Chinese claim to have first discovered
the device of paper money. One OF their EN-
perors issued money 119 years B. c., called
flying money, from the ease and rapidity with
which it circulated. 1t consisted Of the paper
promises of the Government. The Empire
was flooded with it, and the whole was repu-
dated. The Emperor of Japan followed the
example with the same results.
Massachusetts in 1890 issued paper to pay
off her debts contracted in wars with the
French and Indians. Though not finally re-
pudiated by the government, it deprecated
in value to ten cents on the dollar. The Caro-
linas issued paper money to meet the ex-
penses of their expedition against st. Angus
tine. 1t declined to about fifteen cents on the
dollar. On the breaking oat of the Revolu.
tionary War, the Continental Congress resort
ed to the issue of paper money. In all it
amounted to about three hundred and fifty
seven millions. These bills at first passed at
their par value, but finally they stood in 1881
as 500 for of specie.
During the French revolution assignats |
were issued by the government to the amount |
Of forty thousand millions francs. They |
we're called ''assignats" because the confsca-
ed estates of the nobility and clergy were as
'igred for their redemption. These assignats
ormed description of paper money founded
lpon real estate, but they all eventually
became worthless. The government then re-
orted to new expedient, and issued ''man-
lates." These differed from the assignats in
his that while the first were based on a
general claim upon the public property, they
we're based on portions of that property spe-
ifically enumerated. They were increased
o three thousand millions and forced into
REGULATION. They became as valueless as the
ssignats.
The history of the issue of paper money by
he United State Bank, afterward by the State
anks, private banks (under the restrictions
State laws), the United States greenbacks, {
ince the Confederate war, is too we'll known
, deserve more than passing mention.

We have received with the compliments Of
DR.. @. H. Tebault-Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee pamphlet copy Of the sd-
dress, constitution and bylaws Of the Prop
erty Holders Union of New Orleans. The
object of the Union as ably set forth at con.
siderable length in this pamphlet is not re-
sistance to the payment of taxes, but to reduce
the present oppressive exactions which, as
they exceed the revenues of property, amount
virtually to confscation. They do not advo-
cate the reputation of the public debt, as
whole, but that portion of it which after rigid
scrutiny shall be found to have been issued
without the consent of the people, and to
have been expended for individual and not
for the public benefit. The Union has adopt
ed as its motto the following maxim of
Edmund Burke:
1t is to the property of the citizen and not
to the demands Of the creditor of the State,
that the first and original faith of civil society
is pledged, the claim of the citizen is prior in
time, paramount in tile and superior in
equity.

COIN AND PAPER MONEY,

The discussions now going on throughout
the country, respecting the mutual advan
tages and disadvantages of coined money and
paper money, suggest that brief sketch Of
the origin of both species of currency may
prove interesting
In the earlier ages of the world, exchanges
were made by bartering one article for an
other, as sheep for coat, COW for sword,
herd of cattle for piece of land. As society
advanced, however, the disadvantages of this
method of trading began to be seriously felt,
and some other system was sought to be de-
vised.
The precious metals, on account both of
their value and compactness, were adopted
among most communities as solution to the
problem, though other communities employed
shells-the American Indians, for example
and still others other substitutes. At first
the silver was used in bars. But the difficulty
of assaying it, as well as the trouble of weigh
ing it for each separate transaction gradually
led to the stamping it, and then to the cut
ting off pieces of certain determined weights
These things were finally done by public au-
thority; and hence the origin of gold, silver
and other coins.
The first piece of stamped money Of this
description was doubtless minted before the
historic period. 1t is said by Pliny, never
theless, that the Romans haG no coined
money before the time of Servius Tullius.
But long prior to that period, the Phenicians
and other commercial nations used stamped
coins. It is plain, from more than one pas
sage in the Bible, that money of this kind was
familiar to the Hebrews, at very early epoch |
in their annals Iron was employed by the |
Spartans in coinage; copper by the Romans;
gold and silver by richer and more CONNER
cial nations. Generally, the early coins of all
nations were exceedingly rude. But we must
except those of the Greeks, who exhibited in
their coinage, as in all things else, their
natural aptitude for the beautiful.
We are indebted to the classic world for
he term money, coins having, according to
tradition, been first struck at the temple of
jaino Woneta. The word pecuniary is from
he Latin word pecus, flock; iocks and herds
'eing equivalent to money originally. Cash
s from the French caisse, or Golfer in which
money was kept. The derivation of dollar is
So authenticity established. Cent is from
he Latin; shilling is Saxon. Thus all ma
ions and ages have contributed to furnish
he every day terms of commerce.
Paper money first appeared in the shape of
ills of exchange and promissory notes. Com.
aercial transactions in England are still
arried on, to a great extent with these me-
iums. Bank notes, in the United States, 9

perfect equality, with the difference that the
Carrie gave the Emma five minutes for the

take, for the Emma won the race by one
minute, without the allowance. making the
nine miles in two hours and nine minutes.
