agent's lawful orders; or for habitual nc
ghgencc or indolence, and for other causes
named. The master shall not bc hable for
voluntary trespasses, torts or misdemea?
nors of bis servant. The master's right of

tort committed on the promises of the
master, by bis express command.
Hocsx SERVANTS.-Thc rules and regula?
tions prescribed for master anti servant ap?
ply to persons in service as household ser?
vant?, conferring the same rights, and
imposing the same duties, with thc follow?
ing modifications :
Servante, in the various duties of th?
household, and in aU the domestic duties of
thc famdy, shah, at all hours of the day or
night, and on all days of the week, prompt?
ly answer all calls and obey and execute all

in whose service they ai e employed.
Masters and their families shaU, after ten
o'clock at night, and on Sundays, make no
calls on their servante, nor exact any

Jefferson Davin.
Tho trial of Mr. Jefferson Davis for
treason is still a matter of " very groat
doubt. Tlie New York Herald asserts that
it is soon to take place, either at Washing?
ton or at Bichxnond, and gives to its asser?
tions an sir of truth, by going into the mi?
nutest details ?is to the number, names
and character of thc eminent counsel who
have boen retained by the prosecution and
the defence.
On the other band, tho Herald's report is
declared purely sensational by other load?
ing New York journals, and thc usually
well informed Washington journals are
silent upon the subject.
The Richmond Times says that the pe?
titions for the pardon of Mr. Davis are
pouring in upon President Johnson in a
constantly increasing volume. legislative
assemblies, religious synod's, scores of
thousands of Southern women, the muni?
cipal authorities of leading cities and
towns, have recently sent np eloquent and
touching appeals in his behalf. The circle ?
of sympathy for the unfortunate gentleman
is widening every day, and froin Italy and
other sections of Europe, thc President is
importuned to extend to him that eic- j
money of which ao many less prominent
participants in the rebellion havu been tho !
grateful recipients.

Spain.
The Chicago Republican has a lengthy
article on Spain, past and preaent, from
which we clip thc following paragraphs :
The material improvement within tho
past ten years in h?mense. The popula?
tion by the last official census in 18f>0 had
increased, including adjacent islands, to j
nearly sixteen millione. With the other
colonies in the West and East Indies, thc
monarchy counts nearly twenty-two mil
? hens of people. Madrid hae nftarly doubled
its population within the same period.
Fernando Gai redo, in his work of "Spain
I to-dav," gives tho population of Madrid in
i 1861 as being three hundred and sevonty
! sive thousand. If it bc so, it must certain?
ly contain now, since it has become the
! ccntrfi of several additional railroads, near?
ly half a million. Barcelona contained in
! thc same year 225,025 ; Seville, 152,000 ;
! Valencia, 145,512 ; Granada, 160,670 : Ma?
laga, 112,050; Saragoza, 83,181 ; and Cadiz,
71,941. Banks, institutions of credit, in?
surance companies, and industrial and som
j merdai associations are rapidly multiply?
ing, particularly in Madrid. Catalonia is
covered with cotton mills, foundries and
! manufactories of almost every class. Mad
t rid ia becoming a great place for manufac
! tures. Thc building of railroads ia rapidly
pushed forward, and Madrid is now con?
nected by rail with all the principal cities
[ of Spain, with Paris, with Lyons, Marseilles,
and thero is but a gap of a hundred miles
between it and Lisbon. The navy has be?
come respectable, and the armv, compara?
tively small. (100,000 men, while little Italy,
with no more inhabitants, supports one of
400,000.) ia excellently drilled, provided
with thc most perfect arma, and better and
moro kandeomely clothed than any other
continental army.
All convents for monks h ive been forever
: abolished since lbit?. There are a few nun
I nericg left, hut the* aro all under tba con?
trol of the State. The nuns aro at liberty
to retire at any time from cloister life, and
I but few novices art permitted to enter.
Though tho sile of all church lands was
decreed ns early aa 1*41, upon the liberals
! coming into power under Espartero, the
: law in regard t.. it was slowly executed, and
[ frequently snspt nded whenever the conser
I vatiYes got ir.t? > Mibe.:. But ever .-ince 1855
tho conversion of the church hunts for the
i benefit of tho State into Government se
; < unties h i? bei n constantly going on. The
. church, in return for its landed property,
its enos uni rents, lia?- received from tm
Stat . an rqr.:.! amount of nominal capital
in thc funds, so that tho whole clergy h ive
now become Gov< mr: int employees, recojv
ing their stipends according to spociul stipu?
lation, in monthly instalments. It must
be obvious hi ibo le:?et reflecting that where
tia church d >6s not own a foot of the soil,
and when the salaries of the clergy are
paid by the State, tlo-re can be no danger
of their oppressing either tho Stat . >r the

Thc return of peace to thc feunntry has
Li ought with il other consKi?rfaiionft b?
aide? those of :t ?tciotly political bearing.
It haa.bronprht forcibly to otir understand?
ing, that during thc progress, of the war
we contracted a debt which already ex?
hibits tho round numbers of m'iirlv
$3,000.000,000, to which a sixth of the
aggregate will probably be added before
the liabilities incurred are all cancelled. It
tells us also that this enormous expendi?
ture ha? entailed upon the Government the
necessary annual payment of ?180,0OC,000
in the shape of interest; to which wc must
add th? expenses of an extraordinarily
large peace establishment and the per
centHge for the sinking fund, in order to
get an idea of th? amount of taxes that
must be levied to keep the machinery in
working ordor. Hundreds of projects and
theories have been advanced hy financial
scribblers to show how the " necessary
amount of money to Meet tho yearly ex?
penses of the Government can "be raised
without oppressiiiK the people or running
the risk of ?"reating monetary disorder: but
not ono of them would bear "thc test of ap?
plicability to existing circumstances, or
that history would not show to be falla?
cious.
Besides we have afloat au irredeemable
paper circulation, which may be detailed as
follows :
Greenbacks, so-called.?128,160,369
Fractional currency. 26,487,755
Interest bearing legal tenders.. 217,012,141
National bank notes. 200,925.730
State bank bills, estimated. 50,900,000
Total amount of currency. ..$922,586,215 '
Thc redemption of this vast amount of
currency attracts to a greater extent at
present tho attention of men moving in
monetary circle? than does the ultimate
cancelling of our enormous public debt.
Tht financial histories of European nations
aro in vain referred to tn the hope of Und?
ing some successful theory that might
bc profitably followed. The records of
England are searched, and nothing is j
found that by imitating would bo unattend?
ed with danger, lt is soon that a:- the
cose ot her protracted struggle with France
her finances wer< as low as art our own at
the present tim.-, while ber debt was more
than equal, lt is ils>> seen, that while
gold was at a dis. "nut of 80 to 15 per cent, i
the laud-holders and bond-holders, in lier
ass? tobie.! Parliament, through"interested
motive s. sought t > reston the currency to
the metallic basis, and that in the aft em] t,
although partially successful, they brought
upon tie country a Series ol'disasters
which nearly rubied her commerce, pros?
trated her trade, and impoverished her
working people. Th< Batik of England,
which was iiiduocd, in 1821, nomina.iv to
pay specie:, was forced to adopt the rule of
contraction to save itself, and the groat ro
vulsion of 1823, winch was about the most
severe that England ever felt or the world
ever knew, was tho consequence. It wa.
then discovered that forcing a return to
the specie basis was a streike of mistaken
policy, and it required thc succeeding five
years anet tho mild influences of trie laws ot
trade and the strength bestowed by in?
creased population to restore th'.- finances
of England to a sound and healthy con?
dition. Are we: prepared to submit tc the
trials that thc British Government expe?
rienced during the peri? >d embraced between
1815 and 1825? If not, let us refrain from
looking thither for precedents for our
action. Let. us rather permit our increas- |
; ing trade, foreign and domestic, the mutual i
i augmentation of our already immense ical j
! wealth, and the steady additions to our
population, to work out thc problem of a
return to the apecie basia and the manner
of discharging our national debt.
Secretary Mcculloch, like Nicholas Van
sitart, the English Chancellor of tho Ex
ohequer at the time Great Britain was
struggling to overcome her monetary dif?
ficulties, has announced his dosirc "for a
ap?Aedy restoration of specie payments; but
be is, nevertheless, fully aware of the
dangers that would attend hasty action in
that respeet. Those who anticipate the
use of gold in their daily transactions for a
year or two hence will bo sadly disappoint?
ed. And if, at any time, summary mea?
sures are adopted by Congress to bring
about such a result, or the wild theories of
Thaddeus ' Stevons, of Peunsylvraia, who
was Chairman of th?Committee of Ways
and Means, in the last Congress, are lis?
tened to, we must look for the re-enacting,
of those scenes which not only ruined ana
pauperized a largo portion of the people
of thc British Islands at the time we have
referred to, but brought that country to
the verge of a revolution.
At the next meeting of Congress, one of
the most important subjects that will pro?
bably be brought forward is that relating
to the condition of our finances;, but,we
can anticipate no good results from the
tinkering process that thc cmestios will be
likely to undergo at the hands of the mom
bora" The people of the country, qualified
by their i n ter cours o with each other and
with tho world at largs, better understand
thc requirements of trade and commerce
than political mountebanks and visionary
theorists. We recommend, therefore, that
thc matter of our finances bo left in their
hands, in which event wo will be more likely
to avoid the disastrous consequences of a
financial revulsion than if Congress at?
tempts to force measures for tho immediate
transformation of onr present monetary

The following despatch from thc Presi?
dent to Governor Holden, we take from thc
Raleigh Standard of a recent date :
WASHECOTON CITV, October IS, 1805.
W. W. Holden, Provisional Governor:
Every dollar of the State debt, created to
aid the" rebellion against the United State,
should bo repudiated, anally and forever.
The great mass of the people should not
be taxed to pav a debt to aid in carrying on
a rebellion which they in fact, if left to
themselves, were opposed to. Let those
who have given their means for the obliga?
tions of the State, look to that power they
tried to establish in violation of law, con
? stitution, and will of the people. They
must meet their fate. It is their mis
I fortune, and cannot be recognized by tho
?ieople of any State professing themselves
oyal to the Government of the United
I States, and in the Union,
i I repeat, that the loyal people of North
Carolina should be exonerated from the
payment of every dollar of indebtedness
croatod to aid in carrying on thc rebellion.
I trust and hope that the people of North
Carolina will wash their hands of every?
thing that partakes, in the slighest degree,
of the rebellion, which has been so re?
cently crushed by the strong arm-of the
Government,' in carrying out the obliga?
tions imposed by the_ Constitution of the
! union. AWLUVB/W JOHNSON,
