felt as to its legality, the claim being urged
that it was in effect atax on the export Of
cotton.
A circular just issued by banking firm
OF Augusta, Georgia, gives some figures OF
the cotton factories in Georgia for the year
just closed. During the year 1881 the Au-
gusta factory, with a capital of S6oO,OOO, de-
clared cash dividends aggregating 10 per
cent. and passed the same amount TO the
surplus fund. The stock is held at $40 per
share. The Graniteville factory, with a
capital of 5000 ,000, also paid 10 per cent diyi-
dends in cash and passed 10 per cent. to the
surplus fund; its stock is also held at $40
per share The Langley company with a cap
ital of $4,000 paid dividend of per
cent. for the six menths ending June 80,
and will pay s per cent. dividend for six
months ended December 30 all of the earn
ings is paid to the stockholders, and the
stock is held at $50 per share. The Enter
prise company with capital of S5O,0OO
has just added 80 per cent. to its capital
stock; it made a 10 per cent. dividend in
cash for 1881. The Sibley company, with u
capital of 100000, and the John p. King

The difference between tariifior revenue

we, with 50,0O0,0o0 people, raise only $50
100000 to $4,000 900 on over 1900 articles,
and the people are additionally taxed
about $l,oOO,O0,O00 for the capaCious peck

Under Nermonts new assessment law
the property valuation of the state has been
increased from $4,000 900 to $4,000 900.
The new law requires every person

is punished by the imposition of double

do their duty by assessing property for less

perjury.

and they will see themselves fairly paid, as
the debt-paying party is overwhelmingly

the debt'paying party, and there Is every

1T was believed at the time the house
committee on coinage was appointed that
1t would prove to be committee in favor
OF the silver dollar and silver certificates.
The action by this committee confirms the
expectation. The committee was in session
for four hours considering the various bills
before II relating to the silver question.
The result was the adoption of bill which
is IN part the Teller and in part the Chal-
mers bill, with a good many notifications
OF both bills. The measure which was
agreed upon, and upon which Judge Pay
son, OF Illinois, was directed to make Il re-
port, embodied the following provisions;
That the silver coin OF the United States
shall be dollar, half dollar, quarter dol
lar and dime, the dollar to be 4l2l grains
standard silver, and be the unit of value;
that the holders Of gold or silver
bullion may deposit the same
with any sub-treasurer of the United
States, or with any superintendent of a
branch mint or assay office and receive the
market value thereof in silver certificates of
not less than 49, corresponding with the de-
nominations of national bank notes. Such
certificates shall be receivable for customs
and taxes, but shall not be legal tender
for the discharge of other obligations.
"a member of the committee, speaking
Of thi. action, says
The bill was discussed at great length,
and was supported by every member of the
committee. The point made by some of
the members was that the charters of the
national banks will soon expire, and that
sentiment of the west at least, would be in
favor of substituting currency based
upon metal, and that these silver certifi.
Gates would constitute the future currency
OF these banks after their charters have
been renewed. The principle of the Teller
bill as to the issue of the certificates was
adopted, except that it was provided that
the smallest certificate should be for So in
stead Of 500"

state commerce question until March II,
when Albert Fink, President Blanchard, OF
the Erie railroad, John A. Brown, repre-
senting southwestern railroad interests, and
Chauncey Dcpew, of the New York Cen

person formally invited was Charles Fran
els Adams, jr., and he has declined, but
promises to supply printed copies of a
speech on the national regulation on inter
state commerce, which he will deliver to-
night before the Merchants association of
Boston. Adams is evidently in high favor
with the commerce committee, and it is be-
lieved his bill providing for a national rail
road commission, which Representative
Randall, of Massachusetts, will introduce
at the first opportunity, is the only plan of
Interstate commerce legislation that has

BUSINESS in the city to-day has assumed
a brighter appearance. 1t is astonishing
how little sunshine affects trade in n RE
tail way. For nearly two months the roads
leading to the city have been, it NAV be
said, impossible for teams and wagons, and
as consequence, but few of our country
neghbors have been in the city. The roads
are no better to-day, but the sidewalks are
improving, and the ladies of the city are
taking advantage Of opportunities, and are
dong triile OF shopping, which they h ave
long delayed. The wholesale trade has been
unusually heavy, and shipments to the
country have exceeded those of any day be-
fore for two months.
