DIFFICULTY IN INTRODUCING NEW F1NAN-
| CIAL IDEAs.-It seems strange to say so,
| but it is nevertheless true, that there is
nowhere so much difficulty in obtaining a
| fair hearing as in matters OF finance little
out OF the usual course. The parscn is
naturally on the defensive, and prefers his
| old numpSimNS 10 your new SumpStnluS.
The lawyer often listens with impotence
TO the notions OF an age more enlightened
than that in which his code was framed. But
for thorough unreaSoning and dcgged
obstruction, commend me to thriving and
hiehly-respected man OF business, especial
ly if the business be inherited. BY that
single fact he becomes an oracle. Why
should he waste bis time in thinking, when
the balance at his bankers testities for him
that be is entirely master Of the mysteries Of
his profession? Why tire his eyes with
reading, when he is already master OF all
that has and all that can be said on ille sub
iect? To try to impart 10 such person q
new idea is sort OF insult, for 1t implies
that there is something left for him to learn,
which, as the mathematicians say, is absurd.
| Ii it be difficult to argue with the master
OF twenty legions, it Is equally vain 10 pro-
pose anything new to this master OF pros
porous business. Ifyou doubt this, look at
the reception which the currency question
received from persons who are engaged in
actual business. They professed that they
did not understand it, which was no doubt
perfectly true, but not understanding it,
they were equally sure that it was wrong

Remarkable Trial In Georgia.
A TRAIN OF CIRcUasTANTIALE EVIDENCE BROKEN

A TRAIN OF CJRCUMsTANTIALE EVIDENCE BROKEN
DOWN AND THE ACCUSED ACQUITTED.
A most remarkable murder trial has Just
resultedin in verdict Of acquittai at Atlanta,
Ga. The accused was Julia. Johnson, an
old colored woman OF doubtful reputation,
who was accused OF killing, more than a
year ago, an old lady, Mrs. John Farmer,
who was found dead in her own house with
her skull crushed with an axe, and the bed
on fire. Her daughter, q weak-minded
woman Of forty-tve. was found in the gar
den, having been knocked down with an axe.
The latter recovered from her injuries, and
the trial was delayed in the expectation that
she would be able to give evidence crirni-
mating the murderess. The circumstantial
evidence against Julia johnson was very
strong; property taken from the house was
found upon her, and she was known to
have spent ten-dollar note the day follow
ing the murder. such a note having been
stolen from the house. The accused was
defended by z. s. Jcffries, young lawyer
who believed her innocent. His theory OF
the murder was that it had been committed
by young fellow named Gibson, who was
a suitor for the hand Of younger daugh-
ter OF the old woman, who had opposed the
match. Six days after the murder he mar
ried the daughter and took possession OF
the farm and household, which he never
could have done had the old lady lived.
at the trial the daughter that had been
wounded was brought forward to ideu-
tify Julia johnson as the one that
assaied her. She was told to leave
the stand, walk to another part Of
the room and place her hand upon julia.
She did so amid breathless silence, but
destroyed the whole OF her testimony by
indicating another colored woman against
whom there was no suspicion. The jury
returned verdict Of not guilty. The result
created intense excitement, and q disposi-
ton to lynch the accused was manifested by
the crowd. who would have carried their
design into execution. but for her removal
to Jonesboro' She is to be tried again on
the charge OF assauiting the daughter. The
theory advanced by Dir. Jeffries against Glib
son had nearly led to bloody afray between
them in the courtroom. Gibson threatened
JeffrieS, and the latter retreated until he OBJ
tanned pistol frem friend, when the
Judge interHered and ordered the officers to
prevent any collision. ..

The venerable Peter Cooper, now in the
eiehty-nnth year OF his aye, has issued
through the Church Union an "appeal to
all editors, legislators, and religious teach
ers OF our country" on the subject Of
financial system. In it be says:
The following resume, found in late
paper, expresses my opinions on this whole
subject OF our national finances:
Fist. The Government should issue all
the currency that is used Dy the people.
whether it be gold, silver, or paper, and it
should all be made Il legal-tender for all
debts, public and private.
Second. The coinage Of both gold and sill
yer should be unlimited, and the Govern
ment should purchase and coin all the gold
and silver bullion it can procure and coin
without loss.
Third. All surplus currency now in the
Treasury should be used to cancel bonds,
and thus stop interest on the same.
Fourth. Government paper-money should
be substituted for national-bank notes.
Fifth. The Government should give the
people the same volume of money with
which to pay their debts that was in circu-
ation when those debts were contracted.
Sixth. Government postal savings banks
should be established in all our large cities
and villages, where the surplus money OF
the people can be deposited In safety; and
the money thus deposited should be used
by the Government to cancel the public
debt and to promote such public improve
ments as would be OF value to the whole
people.
Seventh. The increase in the established
volume Of the currency should be in the
ratio of the per capita increase Of popula-
ton and business in the country.
Eighth. All new issues Of paper money
should be put in circulation by employing
labor on needed public works, or used to
cancel the public debt, whereby all the peo-
pie are benefited, instead Of giving it to
bankers to loan TO the people at high rates
OF interest and to increase the public debt,
rs is now being done.
