been to depress foreign exchange aud
check the export of breadstuffs. What
ever may be the immediate results of in
creased gold shipments TO this country,
they are calculated, when legitimate, as
we believe they are in the present case, to
bring us very much nearer the actual re-
sumption of specie payments, by pernla-
nently lowering the price Of gold in "A
healthy, natural manner.
With IA gradually increasing balance of
trade in our favor, we have every reason
to hope that the resumption of specie pay
mcnts will he practically shorn of many
OF the difficulties which now seem to sur
round IT. Government bonds must natu-
rally he affected by the price of gold. As
we approach nearer to specie payments,
they will inevitably decline in their mar
ket price, though their real value Will
OF course remain the same. During the
trying times of the last three years almost
every description OF property, real and
personal, has shrunk greatly in value,
while investments I'm Governments have
scarcely suffered. Real estate. for instance,
has deprecated to degree which has long
since placed 1t on gold basis, and this,
too, from causes entirely disconnected
with the redundancy of the currency. No
class of investors can entirely protect
themselves against the shrinkage in val
ues; each individual owner of houses and
lands, stocks and bonds, goods and chat
tells, has borne or must bear his share of the
general apparent decline. So far, the hold
crs of Governments have preserved their
capital almost unmpaired; they are now
called ON to bear their share in the
change. II they sell, they scarcely know
where to put their money. They must
either take good first mortgage bonds of
old, well established railroads, buy real
estate, or lend on first mortgage of i'm
proved property In this city Mt half its
value. Those investments are all emf
nently safe and thoroughly conservative,
but outside of these there come much
doubt and real uncertainty.
The chances are that most of those who
hold Governments rs permanent source
of income, will cling to their investments
and submit to whatever apparent loss may
ensue. They undoubtedly afford the best
and most satisfactory form of investment
for the savings Of the people, and for the
Accommodations of estates and institutions.
For absolute safety, ready convertibility,
regularity and certainty of income, ex-
freedom from anxiety, they cannot be
equalled. But, per contra, they bring u
very low rate Of interest.

The real meaning OF CHAMBERLAIN
proclamation ~ that his party In South Carolina
has tumbled to pieces. The leaders Of Grantism
there have been fighting for spOils pretty yigor-
ously since 1863, and the result Is bountiful
crop OF factions within the party. Some OF the
feuds are irreconcilable. and all OF them are de-
moralizinR. CHAMBERLAIS's triple record a
machine politician. as a sham reformer, and
now as the ally OF PATTERSON and ELLIOTT,
weakens him with all classes Of Republicans in
the state. Those who prefer an honest man are
disguised by his faoile abandonment OF alleged
principles. Many Of those who prefer a sturdy
knave are not wholly satisfied in their minds that
CBAMBEItLAIN will not go back" on them al
he did before. Judge COOKE, Judge r. j.
MACKEY. I'D other prominent Republicans
have come out openly for HAMPTON, and hum
dreds OF negroes In every quarter OF the State
have already declared their intention to vote for
MIN. These things are the real source of CHAM
BERIAISs woes.
