COMMERCIAL.
PUEBLO LEpoER oyrIcE


The outflow of money from leading
centers has been heavy during the
past week. This is shown by the fact
that the sixty two associated banks Of
New York have a reserve fund Of
S2,937, 425 less than they are legally
required to hold, while their deposits
decreased $8,760,400 during the week.
The money market Of New York has
been exceedingly tight throughout
the week, and on n or two occasions
bordered upon a panic. The
pressure was somewhat relieved
by the national Secretary Of the
Treasury, Folger, who ordered, with.
out rebate Of interest, the disburse.
ment of $4,000, 900 per week for the
next five weeks, Of the $25, OOO, 900
FIVE per cents previously called
in for redemption on the twenty.
third of December. This pre-,
sentation Of three months interest
to the bo~ndholders, created
widespread comment in financial
circles, it being the first time the
government has pursued such a
course. 1t, however, had the effect
desired, and relieved the money mar.
ket very sensibly. 1t is said
that Secretary Folger will examine
the law carefully, and if.not positively
prohibited he will lend the banks
money out Of the public treasury, witt
government bonds as collateral, in
times of great pressure.
La the local money market the sam,
strain is felt as rules elsewhere. There
is a heavy demand for currency to g
into the country to gather and movt
cotton, and bankers are doing
their utmost to favor city
merchants, while the latter ar,
exerting themselves to favor their in
terror correspondents. Discount rates
rule firm at s per cent.
AT a meeting of the members Of tn,
clearinghouse held here on Saturday
it was decided to alter the rates O
Eastern exchange to the following
Cotton bills on New York and Nev
England to discount buying and !
discount fo- sight on New England
Drafts on New York are sold at pal
On New Orleans rates are uuvarie
at TO off buying and par selling.

Constitutional Amendment.

Regret has been often expressed that
Jefferson had not been member of the
convention which framed the constitu-
ton of the United States. He was in
France at the time. 1t appears from his
Works that he was in favor of an easy
mode of amending the constitution. On
this subject he said: "Whatever be the
Constitution great care must be taken to
provide mode of amendment when ex-
perience or change OF circumstances shall
have manifested that any part of it is
unadapted to the good of the nation" /"
And again he said: Facility of amend
ment is certainly requisite to maintain it
(the Constitution) in a course of action
accommodated to the times and changes
through which we are ever passing" In
England the constitution may be altered
by single act Of the legislature (Parlia
ment). Jefferson's Complete Works.
Vol, VII, p.I323.)
Under popular government, alterations
in the organic law should not be to fire..
quent or inconsiderate. But as jefferson
said, they should be made so as to main.
tain course of action accommodated to
the times and changes through which we
are ever passing. The force of this all
must admit: and that such occasions has
now occurred for amending the Constitu-
tion of the United States no intelligent
man, desiring to preserve and improve
our Government, will deny.-American

New Volume.

With this number the thirtieth
yolumn Of the DEMOCRATIC NORTHWEST
is commenced. The paper was es-
tablished in 1852 and has been pub
lished weekly ever since with the ex-
ceptiOn Of a.short suspension. 1t has
grown in that period from a compare
lively small sheet to its present pro.
portions. it now being one of the
largest country weeklies in the State.
Its subscription list numberc nearly
fifteen hundred names, having nearly
doubled within the past nine years.
That the NORTHWEST has been appre-
ciated by the citizens of Henry coun-
ty its rapidly increasing subscription
list testifes, and that it is medium
sought after by advertisers the liberal
bestowed upon it by our
business men shows. We have no.prom-
ises to make for the future, but the
high standard OF the NORTHWEST will
not be allowed to wane. We return
our thanks TO one and all of our pat
rons during the period of the twenty
ninth volumn, with hope that they
NAV extend their business relations
through the volumn just commenced.

A RESOLUTION has been introduced
in the House providing for final ad-
journment on the 18th of March.
There is no reason for the Legislature
to remain in session longer than that
time as the appropriation bills are all
in, and necessary Legislation, excepting
the matter of redlstricting the State
for Congressional purposes, has been
transacted. OF course there are a
couple of hundred bills in the hands of
Committees, but the longer the session
continues the more bills there would
