The difference between the circulating mo-
dunn Of Franco and tho United States ia not
go great, but the rcnsou for this is roallly
explained. franco las a tota1 coin and papor

Why France has and requires 20 largo pro-
portion Of cirouiating money Ia on ac-
count Of tho national tendency OF
tho French people to hoard money Tho
French people havo not yet attnsned
tho high business civilization of savings
banks. Every dollar deposited in bank vir-

THE TEXAN FRONTIER.
HOW Mexican Carpet Baggers Have

Indenendenf Voter.

HOW Mexican Carpet Baggers Have
Captured the COurts-COrTina as an
Independent Voter.
Washington Special to the Chicago Times.
A high Official who has returned from q
visit to the Texas border reports a very de-
plorable condition of things. He saws that
the outside public has no sort of idea of
the real condition of affairs down there,
and the real truth has only been brought
out in the secret reports forwarded here by
Government agents. BE says that this side
of the RIO GTande, Texas, for a very wide
stretch OF country, Is inhabited by Next
cans. They prepOnderate 10 great extent
over the Americans, and have thereby con-
troll of all the civil offices. For this reason
it is impossible TO secure any convictions in
the local courts of the Mexican thieves
who cross the border to plumber the
Americans, as in every instance the
court clears them. There are
some good men among the
heXicans who live on this side of the Dor
der; but they are in such small numbers as
TO exert no real influence. Upon the part
of government officials there are grave ap-
prehensiOns Of serious difficulty with Mex
leo. Her government is pOwerless TO pre-
vent these Outrages. That is the charita-
bic construction at least. CoTtina rules in
defiance Of the Mexican government, and
is closely leagued with the Mexicans upon
this side in their schemes Of plumber. Any
attempt to abrogate bis authority upon the
part Of the Mexican government would
lead TO an open rebellion, and the prom
ised move to supersede Cortina is not be-
lieved to have been made in good faith.
Nearly all the inhabitants upon the border
depend upon thieving for their support. It
is estimated that upward Of five million
head of cattle are annually stolen from
the Texans. The Texans are now fully
aroused, and animated by the true Texan
hatred of the "Greasers." A war o. exter-
mination is not improbable. Texas State
troops now patrol the border, and it is well
settled that if they get hold Of any Mexi-
can raiders there will be no need of trial
by jury to insure their passage 10 another
sphere of existence, where they will be out
of the way for al time TO come. 1t is be-
lieved that the United States troops at
present there, combined with the State
troops, will be enough to settle these Dor
der controversies. The only trouble is that
when the Texans once begin righting their
wrongs, it will fare hard with Mexicans
upon both sides Of the border.
Gen. Ord, who has command Of this de-
partment, is at present at Annapolis. As
soon as Mr.. Belknap returns to Washing
ton, Gen. Ord will return al once to Texas,
where his presence is urgently needed.

THECHEERING PROSPECTS OF7rHE
SOUTH
New Orleans Price Curren


Everything at present indicates a
gradual and healthy revival of the gem
eral industry of the country, but more
particularly the South; this section
having been the most depressed, is nat
urally the first to feel the slight revival
of better times, which, in the Western
and Northern States, is hardly noticed.
But not alone does the South
feel the change for a better future
keener than the rest of the country,
her prospects are really brighter than
those OF some OF her sister States.
Never since the war have crop pros
poets been so encouraging-and then
we have no grasshOppers; never in the
history Of this country have the South
ern planters MADE such an effort to be-
come at least partially independent of
Western food crops as this season;
all accounts tell Of an increase of corn,
of wheat ready for the harvester, of oats,
rye and root crops in abundance. Hogs
are also not neglected. and live stock
of all descriptions come IN for a share
of the husbandman's care. Then,
again, manufactures fare languishing
in the Eastern and Northern States,
profits have dwindled to nothing, or
have been turned into deficit; the mill
owner naturally inquiries into the
best method to rebuild his fallen for
tunes, and the most plausible one that
presents itself, is to reduce the cost Of
manufacture. But how can this be
done? Labor is already so low that
the wages paid barely support the
factory hands and their families in the
cheapest possible manner, and there
appears no other remedy. The mill
owners are, however, about to
answer their own inquiry by NOV
ing the factory nearer the
cotton fields, so as to save the. expenses
Of freight and handling while their raw
material is in transit. The cOnsum-
nation of this move will bring capital,
and an increased demand for all the
sundry crops the Southern farmer can
raise. Our prospect, indeed, looks
bright.

A PHYSICIANS SUICIDE.
Swallowing a Dose OF HydrOeyanl
Acid in the Presence Of His Wife.

Swallowing a Dose Of HydrOcyanic
Acid in the Presence Of His Wife.
The President Of the Electic Society of
Kings county, New York, DIR. Napoleon
Palmer, committed suicide on Wednesday
night, using hydrOcyanic acid to accom-
plish his purpose. His wife testified that
he was insane, and that he became worse
when he heard recently that his youngest
daughter had been committed to an asylum
in Geneva, New York. His eldest sister
is an inmate of the Flatbush asylum, and
has been there for several years. Mrs.
Palmer rode out with him on Wednesday
forenoon. When they returned home he
retired to his bed chamber, and while the
family were at dinner he arose. He seem
ed in extraordinary good humOr. About
O'Clock be went out again. When he reach
ed home he kissed his wif9and told her to
kiss his daughter Nellie. His wife follow
ed him to his bed, and just as he was about
to retire he drank the cOlOrleSs contents Of
a tumbler. Their son George soon afJer-
ward looked into the lumber, and said that
it had contained acid. The doctor began
to breathe with much difficulty, and his
wife and son tried to arouse him, but their
efforts were il vain. a physician was sent
for, and DR.. Palmer was heard to ask for
ice, which was sent for, but before it was
procured he died.

FINANCIAL.

There is no change to report in banking
circles. Money is easy and in but mode
rate demand from the banks and the fegu-
lar charge is al the rate of ten per cent. per
annum. Brokers charge about one per
cent. per month.
Exchange on New York is quiet. The
banks buy at par sell at s. per thousand
premium.
Gold is stronger, closing in New York at
1l73. For the small los offered here deal
ers pay 1l6 while they hold at l175. Silver
is taken at los for halves and quarters.
Tennessee bonds are lower, being quoted
in New York az 4S649. The NelC York
Financial Bulletin Of the 18th states that
the failure Of the Comptroller to negotiate
a loan was owing to the fact that the New
York banks charge nine per cent. interest,
whereas, the Comptroller was authorized
10 give but six. This may all be so, buE it
is asserted here that the money was offered
to the Comptroller, at first, at seven per
cent, the legal rate of the State of New
York, but when the Comptroller acceded
10 this, the banks then advanced their de-
mands 10 eight or inc per cent.
Our local securities are dull, with but
little doing. COmptrOller's warrants arc
very dull and most of our banks are offer
ing bat s. for them.
Bank of Tennessee notes, new issue, are
very dull at zoe.
For quotations of other stocks and bonds
we refer to those given by the Nashville
Savings Company, corner Union and Col
lege streets.
