InIIatiouists' FaIIacIes Exposed.

We have already called attention to
the manner in which the practical opera
ton Of the recent currency laws has dis.
proved the arguments Of the inAa tionists.
The report Of the Comptroller Of the
Currency shows that the laws are still
working in similar manner. The bill
approved June 30, 1874, authorized the
Secretary Of the Treasury to issue CircG-
lating notes not to exceed S55,OOO,OOO to
banks in the States and Territories hav-
ing lcss than their propOrtiOnate Circu-
lation, and to Withdraw a like amount
from the States and Territories holding
an excess. The report shows that the
amount Of the applications for increased
circulation from banks now organized
has been $4,000 since April |, Of which
amount $4,000 was from the Eastern
and Middle States and $4,000 from the
Western States. The amount Of legal
tender notes deposited for the purpose OF
surrendering bank circulation since the
lst Of April has been SOl0,975, OF
which amount $4,000 was surren-
derel by banks in the Middle and
Eastern States, $4,000 by banks in the
Southern States, and 1857 800 by banks in
the Western States. The total amount Of
legal tender notes deposited to sur.
render circulation since the passage Of the
act Of June 30, 1874, has been SIS, 2l5,3l2,
The amount Of additional national bank
circulation issued since the first OF April
has been 1920, $50, and the total amount
Issued since the passage OF the act Of Jan.
nary Il, 1875, 81, ls2,s3O. The amount Of
national bank notes destroyed, OF banks
which are in liquidation, or which have
deposited legal tender notes since the
passage Of the act Of June 20, 1874, is
S5,O2l,5s5 Forty-eight national banks,
having a capital Of S4,5s5,OOO, have been
organized since November |, the date Of
the publication Of the annual report Of
the Comptroller.
Senator Morton declared, in speech
delivered in February, 1874, that itwould
require from S5O,OOOOOO to $GO,OOO,OOO Of
additional currency to supply the de-
mand Of the Western States. Less than
$5,OOO,OOO have been called for by the
whole country since the passage Of the
act, while the surrender Of circulation
has been nearly four times that amount.

April IA, 1875. J
Perhaps no city in the United States of
equal extent has suffered within the past
few years such a rapid succession Of re.
verses as Charleston. War, fires, inunda.
tiOns and political convulsions have al.
most exhausted her. She has, furthermore,
until recently, been mourning the pro.
tracled absence In Europe Of her distin.

sailed for Europe some eleven months ago
To negotiate for the sale Of mineral lands
In this region. While his return home
was the occasion Of mitch rejoicing here,
hiS failure to accomplish the object of his
visit produced an opposite effect. The
DR.. received the assurance, however, from
company Of English capitalists Of their
intention to visit this interesting region
al M distant day with view Of invest.
ing in these mineral lands. II was ex-
pecled that he would return with half q
million dollars, which would have aided
very materially In building 1T, their shat.
tered fortunes. III this they have been
disappointed. The Doctor attributes his
failure In not attaining the object Of his
visit In part 10 the removal Of tie Capital,
the news Of which reached England
al the time negotiations we're going on.
The effect OF the nOws was 80 damaging to
theif prospects that they were induced to
return home. DR.. Hale Is high.toneti

clan for two or three years, after Which
he became interested IN the production Of
salt, for which this region Il 40 famous.

largest salt furnaces In the United StatcE.
He IA the master spirit Of Charleston.
The public improvements here arc munu-
ments 81 his genius. The Capitol build

NIE. Whitfield Hood, the gentleman
whose election as Representative from
Jackson was certified to by the Return
ing Board, passed through Monroe
Monday on his way to the Capital. Mr..
Hood, not claiming to be elected, con-
scented with some reluctance to make
his appearance as a legislator, and it
was only by repeated assurances from
leading Democrats that he was induced
to leave home. His participation in
the existing trouble will, we under
stand, conform to the expressed wishes
of the people of his parish and only to
the extent of aiding in perfccting the
organization of Democratic House,
when Mr.. Hood will yield to the claims
of Capt. Kidd who Mr.. Hood admits
was duly elected.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1875-01-15

We are informed that G. =. Hamlet,
the colored sheriff elect of this parish,
has secured bondsmen to the full
amount Of his bond, $4,000; that A.
Ovcrton takes the heaviest risk, 81 900,
and that all the sureties are colored
people. There is conjecture abroad
that the bond will not be approved by
the Radical officials, and that Il sheriff
may possibly be appointed by Kellogg,
and that other changes in parish offices
will necessarily follow. 1t certainly is
a fact that the man the Radicals elected
for sheriff is not favorably regarded by
his white allies. They have put Ham
let on the stage, and propose to leave
Hamlet out. What Hamlet has done,
more than some of his white supporters,
who were crazy to make him Mayor
and afterwards Recorder of this city,
we arc utterly unable to define. There
ought to be no love lost.

The City Council held a meeting
Monday night; present, the Mayor and
six of the seven Councilmen. Duncan
Hill being absent in his capacity as
Representative, the Council, politically,
stood as a tie, Mayor Endom having
the casting vote. The proceedings were
directed mainly to a consideration of
the salaries of city officials and the
taxpayers. The monthly pay of the
policemen was reduced to $50, and the
salary Of the city attorney to 800 per
annum.
