THE RI-CaARrER BANKL LAW.

The law just passed by Congress for re-
chsrtering the national banks is considered
good one, with the exception of silly and
mischievous amendments which, happily,
will be of no effect. The new law SO simpli-
6es the m amer in which re-chartering will
take place that there will be no strain upon
the finsncial situation, and the change leaves
our currency undisturbed. The liberty of
using the registered three per cent. bonds as
security for circulation, will also act favor
ably. The tendency of this arrangement
may increase bank circulation, for the profits
will be greater than with four per cents.
The bill requires the banks not to be MEM
bers of any clearin ghouse in which gold and
silver certificates are net received in the set
Element of balances. This provision is SIM
ply so much waste paper. The clause is
written so loosely that its way of repeating
'ssid certificates" and "such certificates
leaves it uncertain that silver certificates are
included at all; in only one sentence are
silver certificates mentioned, and then only
in parenthesis, a psrenthesis that confines
their connection with the act to that simple
4hC 4NcW 1OIh OfdOHtctc pOiuIo Jul
that "when the law goes on to pro-
vide that no national banking association
shall be member of any clearinghouse
in which such certificates shall not
be receivable" etc, it cannot include
silver certificates under the phrase ''such
certificates" but only gold certificates. In
dependent of this there. is another blunder
equally fatal. Silver certificates are not a
legal-tender, and while this bank bill was
under consideration Congress refused to
make them legsl-teuder. Yet this act is in
tended to force the banks to receive certi6-
Gates they could not pay out again to any
that should object to receive them. This at
tempt TO compel the receiving of certificates
to which those who make the attempt refuse
10 give the full money circulative power, is a
piece of injustice the courts would not sane
ton. Another section of the act forbids the
overcertifying Of checks. No inconvenience
results from this, as writing the word Sac
cepted" upon the check answers every fuan-
cial purpose, and leaves transactions unem-
barrassed. 1t is subject for graduation that
this important bill was passed before Con-
gress adjourned, for inattention to the subject
would have unhinged our financial system,
and probably have cast US back on that old
State bank system that all who ever had to
endure think OF with kind of horror

GENERAL BATE
Will be Elected Despite the COmbina-
ton OF Ihe MonOpOIfsfs and Rail-
roads Against Aim.
louisville courier-Journal


Tennessee has already scaled her debt
from 100 cents to sixty cents on the dollar.
This is partial repudiation; the difference
between sixty cents and fifty cents is, there
fore, one of expediency and arrangement,
not of public honor or credit. With such de-
tails we do not concern ourselves. Practically
they are none of our business. But the or
ganization of the Democratic party and the
election of a regularly and fairly nominated
Democratic candidate for governor, are mat
tiers of the deepest concern to Democrats
everywhere; and, seeing on the one hand, and
in the person of General Bate, the organiza-
ton and the candidate of our party,
and, on the other hand, and in the
person of person by the name
OF Russell, movement TO con-
tinue Republican rule in Tennessee, and
10 vitalize and reinvigorate the waning spirit
of Republicanism everywhere, we have, as
Democrat, but one course open to US. We
are in duty and in honor bound to support
General Bate. Ttis, however, is rendered
the more easy and agreeable since individ-
ual predictions go with public and party
obligations. General Bate is all that we
could desire in his own person. A man of
ability, integrity and virtue; brave as SOL
der, generous, genuine and genial a
neighbor, upright, high minded and sincere
as a politician, no citizen of Tennessee has
better earned, or VIII more WOrtnliy wear,
the mantle which once graced the shoulders
of Carroll, Polk, Campbell, Trousdale, the
Browns, the late President johnson and the
present Senator Harris. We do not believe
The Bailey-Hawkins combination can beat
him. All the dollars which the Republican
managers can spare out of the blood-money
they are lootipg from the employees OF the
government, joined 10 the funds which rail-
way managers may be able dishon-
estlv to divert from their stock
holders, will not suffice to seduce
the honest Democrats of Tennessee from
their allegiance to their party. The boilers
go into the campaign full-handed. They are
rich enough to erect the cosiliest. campaign
machinery. They have the wherewithal to
buy newspapers. But newspapers are value
less except as they are the representatives OF
popular opinion; and the good people Of
Tennessee can never be bought nor bullied.
They already know the appliances they have
TO fight, and fore-warned is fore-armed.
Even as Jackson, with the consolidated cap
ital, the press, and the most adroit party
managers OF the country arrayed against
him, triumphed over the Bank, will the DEM
ocrats Of Tennessee, the lineal descendants OF
Jackson, under the leadership OF Bate, tri-
umph over the unholy alliance between the
Republicans, the ringsters and the railroads
the three R's-who seek, by trick, trade
and tol-de-rol, the renegade's ready reward.

breed State-credit wing of the High-tax
party. Judge John J. Williams is the only
man OF any prominence in the Low-taxparty
who stands fair and square with the people
on the State debt question All the rest
have sold out and are now marching under
the banner OF the half-breed State-credit
wing OF the so-calied Democratic party.
The Louisville Cour-ier-Journol says
There is little hy-lesf of a newspaper,
considerably soiled and dog-eared, published
at Chattanooga, and absurdly called the
Times, and the editor of this ridiculous fag-
end OF q railroad-tender switched off on a
side-track is perpetually mntteriug 10 him

see my tusks?-don't You hear me roar?-Pm
a water-spout, Pm hurricane and all the
while ne is only very bad cross between
mud-pudd.e and a tempest-in-a-teapot."
The Chattanooga Times says that the
Nashville American talks az if it believed the
Democracy could spit on the platform, vote
for Bate, and at the same time work for
proper candidates TO the Legislature. The
american ought to have found out by this
time that the intent OF the late convention
was saving the settlement in the next Legis-
lature. The American ought also to know
that without State organization and can
vass, and all that those things imply, the
credit wing could not WELD 1.-THE Of their
actual force in securing the right kind of a

BAD PROSPECTS FOR SILVER.

The silver miners do not find the prospect
before them to be very fattering. By the
aid of soft sawder" and sham patriotism
they have managed to secure the United
States as a steady customer for the greater
part Of the American product. Notwith-
standing this splendid and very profitable
achievement, the silver miners are in anxiety.
The demand for silver does not increase but
the supply of it does; not a country in
Europe will remonetizs it, yet the metal
keeps pressing on the market. The last re-
port of the director OF the mint shows that
the yield of silver in this country is 5000, 900
more than during the previous fiscal year.
and S, 100000 more than during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1880. These are por-
tentous figures, but the course of events dawn
ing on the silver prospect is more gloomy
still. The new railroads so rapidly pene-
rrating Mexico have already aroused a
movement in silver-mining property. Capital
is seeking investments; energetic men are
hunting up promising spots and half-worked
mines, and soon the wondrous silver
mines OF Mexico will be pouring their old
profusion upon the earth as they formerly
did in the prosperous Spanish times. Science,
too, has been at work; ores the Spanish flung
aside and waste their imperfect methods only
half exhausted, lie ready in abundance 10
yield up their treasures 10 the skilled met
allurgists of the duy; and many new mine
will be discovered by our practiced American
prospectors, and many a grand old vein left
and forgotten in the troubles of the revolu-
ton and the anarchy that followed and con-
linusd so long. The people in the silver line
say: mining has got a black eye" The
fact is worth attention, for practical results
of an unpleasant character to business men
will follow, if nothing checks the present
downward course of silver.

What VIII Result 81 Chalmers is Sue-
eesSfuI.

Copiah (Miss.l Signal.
The sudden apostacy of this gentleman
from Democracy, the circumstances under
which it occurred, and the manifestly selfish
purpose which has animated his singular
course, have turned all eyes to the coming
election in the Second congressional district.
Interest IN the result is not confined to the
district or the State, but the whole country
anxiously awaits it. Can Mississippi be
Mahonized? The fate of Chalmers will
answer the question. Ii he succeeds, then
every effort will be put forth by the admin
istration to carry the State in 1884. Every
disappointed ofice-seeker within our ranks
will be encouraged by his success to like
treachery, and the political caldron in our
State will boil fercely for years to come.
But we are firm in the belief that he will not
succeed. Aside from our faith In the rank
and file of the gallant Democracy of the
Second district, we trust in its dauntless
leader, Van II. Manning. Chalmers has
vim and tireless energy; long experience
in Congress; great familiarity with party
record; large circle of personal acquaint-
auces, and is a stump-speaker OF large ex-
perience and great power. With such a
leader the element opposed to Democ-
racy in the second district are
dangerous and might be successful if
the Democracy was without a leader OF
equally large acquaintance, equally great
familiarity with party records, and equally
known as a stumper, no matter what his
other qualifications. But, fortunately, the
man to meet the emergency is at hand. The
people of this city and county heard Man
nipg's clarion voice in the last campaign,
and will moi soon forget him. His very
bearing pressged victory, and he dealt sledge-
hammer blows to the opponents OF Democ-
racy so rapidly it seemed impossible to stand
before them. In him meet every requisite OF
a leader. His record is stainless. He has
always been at his post, always voted, and
voted right. He has stood ever as the
champion of the people against monopoly
and corporations. He has fought for the
agricultural interests OF the land, and against
those who Cypress it. He has by energy and
ability won influence on the floor OF Con-
gress, and is now a member OF one of the
most important committees. As a cam
paigner he has no superior, if a peer, in the
State. Three times he has led to victory,
and never TO defeat. In 1880 he defeated
Buchanan and Harris, the champions
of Republicanism and Greenbackism,
getting more votes than both put to-
gether, and in 1881 he drove the champion
pitted against him by the Fusionists from the
field. Intima tely acquainted with The peo-
pie in every part of his district, thoroughly
familiar with party records, famed for his
ability TO endure the bodily fatigues of a
desperately fought campaign, matches as a
giant debater, with the prestige of former
victories upon his banner and possessed of
that personal magnetism, which wins conf
dence and devotion from his followers, under
his leadership triumph for Democracy Is
certain"

from "a Southern Planter" who replies
to 'New Confederate" with vigor equal
TO his own. "New Confederate" has
evidently aroused one planter to
look around him and ask what can be found
to answer the audscious iconoclast who
dares to tread on tender toes with very IN
Welding boots. We think "New Confede-
rate" though impulsive, will not be unfair
toward a contestant, and he must be struck
with the picture "Southern Planter" lays be-
fore him of what the cotton-sroweIs have
done since the termination OF the war ielt
them in condition commonly little, II any
thing, short of desperate. Whatha been done
in the face Of the fearful floods oil the spring
by the untiring perseverance Of the planters
will meet, we are sure, with Its need oil
freely rendered praise from our impulsive
correspondent. We regret that "Planter"
should impute unworthy motives TO Son
federate," who, if too blunt TO keep free
from words which are too proyocative-as
he will own we doubt not on rehection-yet
is too open and direct TO be melted by petty
and Objectionable motives. In our two cor
respondents there are, once more, the two
knights that approached shield from dill
ferent directions. One pronou need it 10 be
of silver, for silver it was from the side that
he saw; the other side was gold, and the
other knight declared the object TO be a
golden shield, and whoever called it any
thing else was-What people unfortunately
call each other in such cases. Such writers as
Confederate" should not be discouraged; in
their uuguarded earnestness they often bring
out valuable points less excitable people do
not think of. While there are such close
observers as "Planter" to "defend his
order" Confederate" can do no damage.
Cut and thrust by two such vigorous spirits
as Confederate" and 'fPlanter," if kept clear
OF personalities and unkind imputations'
remains prompted by the desire both of them
show that their neighbors should be behind
none, and that they should vigorously defend
their position and yet all the time be march
ing on to a more advanced position still.
Hearty aud spirited discussion, carried on
with such sentiments, cannot but be promot-
i've of good. Anything but indifference and
apathy, and "sitting down and letting things
slide" Let good -natured but well-founded
attack go on, and be met by the sound words
of a well-based defense. Then the blood will
course more vigorously in our veins, and we
shall bear what has TO be borne and do what
has TO be done with more manly heartiness
and grit in consequence.

STATE POLITICAL NOTES.

THE Chattanooga Times is the dirty tool oil
the dirty wing OF the boilers. Lies to 1T are
better than the truth, more In accord with
its own natural vileness.
THE Democracy requests every man In
Tennessee TO vote down the call for constl-
tutional convention at the August election.
1t is a Radical trick. Look at your ticket
good and vote "No convention"
THE Dresden Democrat admits that Russell,
its candidate, may not be elected, but, 1t
adds, neither riH Bale. The italics are the
Democrats. This emphasis means that u.s.
sells candidacy means Hawkins's election.

man. and bogus Democratic sheet, Is bel
lowing like the calf itself it is as II 1t was
the sole custodian of the honor OF Tennessee.
The Chattanooga Tines which wanted to
murder the refugees from Memphis in 1875
70. and even suggested the shotgun and the
stake for them, is at its blackguard work
again. 1t is bolstering the bad cause oil the
boilers with abuse and falsehood as reckless
as that it told on the poor, suffering people
of Memphis in 1S7S-79.
JOSEPH RUSSELL, of Columbia, the nomi-
nee of the boilers, is a goody-goody young
man, who NJ axes all the pious little girls cry

worker at reviy al meetings among the sentl-
mental sisters; but Joseph don't amount to a

So says the Brownsville Democrat.
THE Somerville Falcon thinks the Congress
sional Convention for the Tenth district

Memphis has had the convention every year
