FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS MATTERS.

The financial and commercial interests O
the Empire are in an abnormal condition
though not exhibiting positively dangerous
symptoms. NO Investments are being made
in industries or works Of any kind. Money
is being held in tight hands, resolute in theil
determination to hold fast against every at
tering proposition. Banking bills Of ex-
change are asking in vain for buyers at rate
which practically places the irredeemable cur
rency OF the nation at a premium This
would be good, firm sub grade on which to
build the future prosperity of the Empire, if
there were no serious threatenings in the near
future.
The gradual melting away of slavery under
the Rio Branco act of emancipation is rapidly
lmpairing the borrowing value of the large
coffee estates; hence the planters, always the
80 borrowing" class in a slave country, find
1T impos ible to mortgage their lands for any
more than the merest fraction of their esti-
mated value Congress, composed as it is of
planters or their educated sons, has stepped
in with an offer to guarantee the interest and
become responsible for the principal of all
loans made TO planters up to three-fourths Of
the value Of their plantations.
This is simply gigantic scheme, and can
only and in the Treasury being mulcted for
fabulous sums. Yet it receives general ap-
proval. To revive the agricultural interest is
the mania OF the day, and everybody is at.
tected with the craze.
The Imperial Congress will adjourn to-
morrow, Sept. 80, when sense of relief will
be experienced by the business CT immunity
IN this that the very worst will have been
done to disturb values, and The measure may
be estimated and its results at once discount
ed until Congress meets again.-N. T. Times

CONGRESSMAN BEWARE!

The sensation man of the Atlanta Herald
despairing Of the occurrence of anything
startling in his line, has struck an orgina
idea, and gives it to the world in the follow
ing shape:
Yesterday, as Senator Gordon was reading
his mail, he came across an anonymous letter
postmarked "Washipgton, and written on
government paper. The letter set forth that
plan is on foot to massacre all the Demo
cratic members of Congress " no were elected
through the murder of negroes; in which
category every Southern Democrat is placed.
The date selected is the I'd of December, the
anniversary of John Browns hanging
Gen. Gordon does not pay much attention
to the mysterious warming, and turned it over
to us for publication, with an unblanched
cheek and firm hand.
We present the letter entire, just as it came
to him:
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL, 1875
am good Democrat, but poverty and a
starving family has compelled me to solicit
and accept subordinate position from the
government. and. to keep my place, have
been obliged to pretend to be the strongest of
II adicals
/ have just accidentally, come into posses
sion OF a secret which it is my duly to unfold,
and do so with fear and trembling. Certain
fanatics at the North have formed themselves
into secret societies, and intend to come on
here in great numbers on the LIST of Deem
Der, under pretense OF celebrating the mar
tyrdom of old John Brown, who was executed
on the I'd of December, 1859, at Charleston,
Virginia. But their real object is to murder
every member of Congress who has been
elected by the shedding Of negro blood, and
l think they include in this number every
member from the South who is smocrat.
They do not call it a murder, but an execu-
ton for crimes committed where there is no
law They say they intend to give the whites |
Of the South a practical illustration of the de-
lights OF terrorism and intimidation. They
are cracy fanatics, led to believe by their devil
ish preachers that they are acting in the cause
of religion and humanity.
Your own judgment will dictate what is
best to be done.
They further assert, and justify themselves
by the assertion, that not one white man of
any influence in the South has ever said one
word in condemnation of the numerous negro
murders. -Atanta Herald, NoU. IA.

The following account of the suicide of a
citizen of New Orleans is taken from the San
Francisco Morning Call of October 2Sth:
At half-pest o'clock last evening, Andrew
Lematre, native of New Orleans, thirty-four
years of age, shot and killed himself in his
room, at 1925 Washington street. He left a
note addressed to a relative, IN which he
asked to be forgiven for the act he was about
to commit, and directed that the money he
was possessed of be used to defray funeral
expenses. The deceased came here from New
Orleans about two months ago For several
weeks past he had been very sullen Nothing
is known Of the cause which led him to take
his LIE.

LETTER FROM PLAQUEuINE.
PLAoUEMINE, April 7,h, 1875.


Mr. Elitor-I might wtite you ofteneri if good
news was my theme, but, as it is, we are SO
used to the multiplying ills of these hard and
ugly times. that they seem old and stale.
The clements seem against our country.
We hear nf storms on all sides and rain TO no
end We have had our share, though | am
happy to say no injury has resulted, except
the delay in planting and the Injury to the
seed cane spoken of before. This injury cut
down the are, planted on some places over q
third, and ON ali more or les-.
The stubble cane SO far is fine, and promises
we'll, and our planters, for all their troubles,
are hopeful Much work has been done on
manv places, but many of our once rich, yea,
teeming plantations now lie fallow, while the
buildings, SO costly at all times, are going to
ruin, and excessive taxation renders all value
less.
1t is truly painful to go through our country
aud note the changes which have followed in
the wake OF the late war changes ever for
the bad, increased and accelerated by ''the
powers that be.
When will all this change? Will the adjust
ment be the turn in the tide? Let us hope it
may, though it be ''hope against hope"
With good government our State could
soon ne upon the highway Of prosperity once
moe, and would be, for within its borders is
every element required to make a people
prosperous-a delightful climate, rich soil
and towering forests of cypress, pine, oak,
ash and hickory.
How about the Appropriation bills? Mr..
Kellogg has been telegraphing MIR. Field
about them. Why not have Mr. Wheeler
adjust them? PELICAN.

.alor,ot;on in all this wild speculation.
Money 4 almost drug in financial and COM
merc;al centers throughout the country, and
seeking for such employment as its owners
Are satisfied is safe. Hence spectators and
those who are not are induced to employ TINS
money in such ventures as tempt WIN large
prospective profits. With this view 1t may
be asked whether this excitement Is not ap-
preaching stage when it would be prudent
70 nause. in order to avoid disaster to the
trade generally?
Finances in the West.
The prominent feature Of finances in the
West just at present is the general movement
of money from the country to the cities. Thls
ia shown by the movement of currency and
by the scarcity and high prices Of New YORK.
exchange. From every part of the Northwest
currency is now coming to this city, and sew
eral of the banks here are shipping it steadily
to New York, to make exchange, for which
there is large demand from country banks.
The farmers seem to be sending almost moth
ing to market, consequently there is almost
no use for currency.
An instance Of complete cessation Of de-
mand for currency is furnished by proml-
nent bank in this city to-day. This bank has
between 81, 600, 900 and So. DOC, 900 of country
bank balances to the credit OF over 150 coun-
try banks, Sc0ttefeO all over Tie NoAIA gov
and yet this bank did not receive a single
order to-day for currency, circumstance
which probably never occurred before IN con-
necticn with SO large an amount OF country
bank money in Chicago bank. These facts
are important as showing an unusually small
movement Of products from the hands OF the
farmers to those of the middlemen. The high
price of exchange also indicates that the
West is paying all its debtsto the East and
shows that the supply of money for specuia-
tive or any other purposes in the cities is
likely to increase.
The banks of this city now have several
millions Of dollars out on demand loans on
collateral Of provisions and grain. As soon
as these go forward, which will be when navl-
CATION opens, these demand loans will be
D i'd, and the loansble surplus Of money in
this market will be increased by that much.
Ia view Of these facts it looks as though there
would be plethora of money in the market
by the middle of May, and with the present
speculative spirit which is beginning to affect
all classes of business men-and. If rumors
be true, is even tempting good many mer-
camille men to take ''fyer" in wheat, OF
pork, or lard, etc.-will cause large auctaa'
tons in prices in the next month or two

THE THEATERS.

Madame L'Archiduc was repeated last
night at the st. Charles Theatre to the usual
crowded house. There is something very At
tractive about this piece, and this attraction
seems to consist more in the entire arrange
ment and the general beauty of the opera,
than in any especial scene or song. If selec-
tions of the most pleasing of the songs were
requisite, we should name the A, B, G solo
and chorus in the second act, and the duet
between Misses Soldene and Robson in the
third act, as the favorites with the audience.
The little that falls to the share of Mr..
Beverley il very, we'll done, and Mr.. Marshall
is very happy in his rendition of the comical
Archduke. The same opera will be repeated
tonight.
At the Academy of Music Mr.. J. J. Wallace
commenced short engagement in his own
play entitled 'The Man From America. "
The play deals largely with the eccentricities
Of the notorious George Francis Train,
The New York press has very highly COM
plemented Mr.. Wallace for his splendid imi-
tation, both in acting and ''make-up," of that
cratic individual whose peculiarities served
to amuse the people of this country for SO
long time. "rhe Man From America"
plays a prominent part in assisting one OF the
oppressed Irish families whose home has been
invaded by the tyrant red coats.
The play is very entertaining one, ming
ling as it does the comic element with much
that is really pathetic and touching. As its
author Mr.. Wallace has reason to teel proud
It is full of pungent wit and tender sentiment.
We are all familiar with Mr.. Wallace's great
abilities as an actor, and when it is known
that he has made specially of this character
and devoted much time and study to its con.
ception end rendition, doubtless crowded
houses will attend his every performance Of
it.
Mr.. J. H. Huntley, the new leading man Of
the troupe, made his first appearance last
night, and created quite a favorable impress
sion.
In the olio entertainment which preceded
the drama we had the plea sure of listening to
the CawthOrne Children. The artistic man.
ner in which these children interpret the
Dutch and Irish eccentricities is truly aston
ishing.
They are very thorough in their business
and are sure to prove successes. Miss Gertie
Granville, in her serio-comic songs, and Mr.
Blitz. in his facial and monologue sketches
were both excellent.
There will be throughout this week rea
pleasure for the habitues of this theatre.
The GAYETY THEArEE was well attended
last night, and great appreciation was ex
pressed at the excellent entertainment af
forded visitors by the enterprising manager
Especially excellent were the performances O
Miss Lizzie Stemple, Miss Octavia and Messrs
McCaslin, Kearney and Moran.
