Rev. John Home.
(Be,gravia.1

No more striking instance of the bar
barous intolerance of the Scottish clergy
at this period could be cited than their
treatment of the Rev. John Home, whose
tragedy of douglas" was produced
in 1856. The welLknown story of
the Scotehman who, when the cur
tain fell upon one of the acts
of this play, rose up in the pit, and,
looking around with an air of supreme
exultation, cried out "Wel, lads,
where's your Wully -hakspeare the
now% well illustrates the pride felt by
the nation in this native production; it
became to them what "Hamlet" is to
the Englishman; and it may be safely
averred that, until at least within these
twenty years, there was not regular
play-goer in Scotland, young or old,
who could not have prompted the play
from memory. Yet at the time Of It's
production it stirred up terrible
storm.
The Presbytery of Edinburgh cited
not only the author to appear before
them-he very wisely, however, evaded
their thunders by resigning his charge
but also the ministers who had been
guilty of the crime of being present al
the representation, all of whom were
forthwith suspended. Circular letters
were sent round to all the other Pfesby-
teries, recommending the most rigorous
measures against such offenders; while
an act of eXhortation was read to every
congregation, forbidding the members tt
witness play which was denounced a.
blasphemous and as encouraging suicide

the old treasury notes of the sturdy

British capitalists paid severely for

early days; British and other CAPT

In IT'S, Virginia, having no longer
the fear of the British Parliament
before her eyes, recommended to 49,
sue treasury notes. The first issue
was made interest bearing, which
feature hindered its circulation. A
subsequent issue was made not bear

taxes. These notes maintained them
selves at par with COMMAND led
Thomas Jefferson to declare that

pie, and that it will now subside;
but we see that it is older than the
present government of the United
States. and that it possessed the
minds OF the earliest statesmen of
the country. Franklin and Jefferson
were thinkers but they were observ.
ers as well. They not only argued
that treasury note system of money
ought to succeed, but they had
abundant proofthat it had succeeded.
North Carolina, after the close of
the revolution, and during the time
of the new confederation of the
states, issued helt-a million of dollars
of treasury notes and mado Their, res
ceivabe for all>-sr=te taxes. These
notes circulated at par with coin for
twenty years. They were finally alb.
sorbed by taxes; nobody ever lost a
dollar by them. They served the
people well as money during their
time, and retired before that provis-
ION in the constitution which forbids
the States from issuing bills of credit

was vested in the general govern.
ment alone.
John G. Calhoun urged the exam.
pie of North Carolina upon the Unit
ed States, and earnestly plead for
the adoption of a national treasury
note circulation OF similar kind !,
when he was, in later years, engaged
in his celebrated contest in congress
against the United States bank
States rights man though he was, he
strenuously urged the adoption of a
national legal tender currency to the
exclusion OF all bank bills. In that
memorable contest the bank mon
strosity went down before Calhoun's
logic and Jackson's nerve, but the
legal tender treasury note system
was not adopted. The people were
doomed to wade through long and
dark swamp, with little banks as
hammocks here and there to furnish
precarious footing on the way from
panic to panic, until the great war of
the rebellion swept the small banks
down the stream of time, let us trust
forever.
During the early days of the Union,
pressing emergencies called for the
issue of treasury notes as their gov
eminent money, but the banks al.
ways fought them, always crippled
them, and hurled them out of calcu-
lation as fast as possible. But the
pursuit of this theme must be re-
served for another chapter.

to 40 in the Novent er States. It is
unreasonable to anticipate anything
less. This would still give us II ma.
jority. We have have made no cal
culations on any losses. 1t is
true we may lose two or pos IDLY
three of those we now have. But il
is more probable we shall gain as
many in the south. Out of 10e mems
bers from the south, the Republicans
now have but 8. There are sections
in the south where bull doing is not
successful. There are GASES in the
desert. We are likely to gain mem.
Der in Tennessee, one in Missouri,
one in Texas, one in Virginia, one in
Kentucky, and one or two in North
Carolina. and a few others are posi-.
Bile if not probable. With these
chances we feel confident of as large
majority as above estimated, even
if couple of those we have fail.
We shall have Republican House
OF Representatives. When we get it
we trust 1t will not allow itself to be
controlled by the time servers, the
dishonest men, the men who have
brought our Republican party to the
last ditch. Good craftsmanship will
get US out of this eternal suspense.
If the north and the Republican par
ty does not permit the domineerjng
of its rascals within, we shall soon be
placed beyond tho dread of the rule
of cut-throats south. Better that we
have small healthy majority in Con-
gress than a large rank majority,
We will be surer of future success,
surer of governmental stability.
