Among our advertisements will be found one

and manufacturing sirup ft om this plant. He

Urns any to spare. IIo is satisfied that this sugar

that they shall have the means of testing

CONTINGENT ACCOUNTS IIP TUB STATU
Wo thiuk it not nmisa to speak of the mode by
which the Legislature liquidates the contingent ao
counts of newspapers against the State, and invite
* -T" *tlie attention of editors and proprietors to the subject
as a common grievance calliug for a common remedy.
As to the accounts of the Governor and Ad
jutaut General, there nrc within the control of
the former, and are promptly discharged on presentation.
Hut we refer to those growing out of adver.
rmemcuts inserted by order of court, clerks, tnnna
grredf elections, &e., which are rarely paid by the
?<cgiblstute, unless upon heavy deduction. We
have published elcctioo notices for managers, order*
for extra courts, orders for special elections lor District
officers, and our accounts have been kindly
unnvii oui uj mo vumniuieca on ooniingfin ;\ccounts
In (lt? Legislature! Why is this? J las a
ju<lce no authority to cnlt nn extra courtf L it
made th* duty of a clt-rk to order u special election
through a gazette, but with the privilege of paying
the expenses hlinself? We shall again try to get
/>ur claims allowed, and if we fail, we almli be con- 1
strained to believe it not true tlint governments are
willing to pay all just debts on presentation. We
think it hard enough that legislative bodies .viumc
to prescribe what we sImiII charge for our work,
without withholding the pittnucc when hotxstlj
* earned.
distrtttcoarui
(JvntiJ Juries sometimes delight in the rccomtneti d.'itiun
of impracticable reforms, and sometime* travel
"beyond their legitimate sphere in doing so. Rut
we call to their attention a matter cloudy within the
?raogu of their inquiry, nnd Imps it will be urged by
. " bum npon tho attention of iho legislature.
* - It is known that esuli of the District Hoards has
? secretary and treasurer, chosen from the members,
*to receivo and disburse tho public money, for the
doing whioh such officer receives live per centum.
Thus wo have four treasurers, scattered in difTef
ent part* iA tho District, and not easily accessible to
those having claims to liquidate. Now, without us-signing
other reasons, (which might readily be
foiled we submit that one general treasurer for
-all tlie Hoards, Haly t-k-i ted by the Legialuture, ;
klmying specified offico days at the Court House, n?
any other officer, would bo n great convenience to
the people, and be highly advantageous to the State.
There-are anntn-.Oy expended by tho tour Boards
not Iras'than ten thousand dollars, and five pet
eoiil. otv this itmoant would pay any man very well
(kc'timu and labor consumed in its safe-keeping
(rub disbursement. Of course such officer should
be under bond nnd ample security. We commend
this thought to the members of the legislature as
well as ?h? members of the grand jury.

of tlio revulsion, nnj art) niiswcred, "undue expansion
by the banks and waul of confidence in the

that enre only for themselves! To make money
for divis on among stockholder* is the only quulification
looked for in their oflioors Hltd the highest
rrcorr incn 'ation to owner*. And who gets the use
of bank facilities! Simple discount borrowers are
not the cla%a out of whom money can be made.
Sprcu'ntor*, using fifty or a hundred tlutuanud dollars
per year, arc the kind of customers llicy seek.
It is true, they will loon A or 11 one or fivo holtdied
dollars now and theu to keep down clamor,
but this is the exception, not theiulc. This is mod-,
urn banking, and this system, we charae, it is that
Irs boon the main instrument iu precipitating the
present IIitalic al troubles. To show thai this conclusion
is ii >t n ere guess work, it f* stated by the
Washington Union, from a Treasury Report made
by Mr. Woo bury to the Senate in 1841, that the

failures, Iusk c?f capital, diatrnyod notes, counterfeit*,
fluctuation* in prices, ami government tosses by the
Bank nf the United States, from the beginning of
the govei nincnt until 1841, were /oar hundred len
and a half million dulloro. fxt as add to this the
louses by the present crisis, in tho depreciation of
the value of real eMute, cotton, farm produce, slocks,
bank bills, and nil other things, nnd the nniont will
tint Ihj less than three hundred and fifty milliont.
Add this amount to former losses revolting from paper-money
banks, and it makes $765,471,497This
is probably below, rather than above, ths truo
amount. To this should be added the loss and suffering
of the thousands of the poor and needy
thrown out of employment by bank failures, which
eannot be estimated by dollars and cents.
What an aggregate of loasis und suffixing (rum
banks! And yet, so infatuated arc |>coplc, that they
cannot be brought to se? that tiro banking system
is answerable for all these evils! Let specie hecorn*
the b?aiH of values, na it m/ininoily is, aud
no suell results enn follow. A plantation worth ten
thousand dollars would then be worth that amount,
whether sold by the owner or sold by the sheriff;
cotton would not then tall three and four cents per
pi und n less than a week by the suspension of
banks; nor would speculators and capitalists thrive
off the products of sunbrowned industry.
Ia-I the legislature eulcr upon reform. I*< the
people demand it. This may easily and gradually
be effected, by providing against issues of bills of
less denominations than twenty or twenty-five dollars,
ns proposed by the Charleston News. Give
ths banks ono year to call in tticir five*; one for
their tens; and afterwards M no bill less than twenty
or twvnty-fivo dollars be iwued. Knnct penalties
against illegitimate banking?hi short, let the
hard-money sywtifn, as far ns possible, be introduced,
and our -S nto will be in ns healthy a condition
in the midst of panic as is now the gorcrnment of
the United States.
Nor is tliis Course thuucrhtlcaslv reeomnu-ndedi
or unfounded upon cogent reasoning. The prc!*-ol
panic is but the forerunner of another?perhaps not
equally disastrnu*, but ecrtsinly one ilwt w ill pro
doce Widc-aprrihf ruin.
.7. D. Ashmore, Ooinpttulhr Genera), in hit
report lor 1835, colled the attention of the Legislature
to the tiute of the railroad debt of this country,
the bouJ* for which arc held in Europe. This
bended debt in intimated by him (and under-estimated
by iK-uily enc hundred millions,) at two huixhot
uiillioitu dollar*, besides an indebtedness by the
thirty-one States of two hundred and sixteen mil
liutts rn-iru?n? thing a grand aggregate of four or
five hundred millions of dollars to be discharged in
lh? next ten or fifteen years. To use his owu language
"llow it ibis fearful amount ol imlebh dtuss to bo
met? There- is scarcely a railroad company in the
United States that hits nijotimuhiled the first dollar
a a fuud towards the redemption of their bonds;
nor do they term to contemplate it. Whut. then,
it to he the consequence, if no timely provision is
made tor the payment ol their bonds? Will not tlio
bondholder* btOninc the owners of the roads? Will
not the stookWdera, who have borne the burthens
of building the roads, lose every dollar of tlitir
tnoiu y? And will not ilm whole country uml nil
its interest* be sorely embnrtasmd and distressed?''
In view of these fuels the present lesson should
not be lost u|K)it tlio future. Ami it becomes the
Legislature t-> prepare for the events thus faithfully
foreshadowed by the Comptroller General.

The circulating mediant of thoetty of New York
consists in the babtboes of her beaks in tlie form of
deposits and eifeulution. Their daily loons and
discounts increase or diminish these liabilities. As
those liabilities nre greater or lew la money plenty
or scarce. They constitute the fund oat of which
all operations moat be performed.
Hunt's Merchants' Uogaaioc contains table* of
the weekly return* of the Unknot the city of New
York for the years 1856 and 1857, which furnish
n complete riew of their opcrauoos. They throw
a flood of fight on the preseot state of things. The
return for January 3d, 1857, shews ft 104.000 000
of liabilities, with $11,172,WW in specie. "
This varied very little from the rctarns of the
preceding six months, end this state ci things continued
with tittle change,bat with a slight tendency
to increased expansion, Bp to the 15th of August.
The greatest expansion wits on the 3d of May,wheo
the liabilities were $ 108,000,000. with $12,001),OUO
of specie. The return of the 15tli of August shows
$101,000,000 of liabilities, sad 311,360,000 of
specie. From this a rapid contraction commenced,
the liabilities being reduced on the 5th of September
to $8,000,000, with $10,227,000 ot specie. 1 lere
the contraction ought to have ceased. The object
was to stop the export of specie. That had been
done. Kx change on London had (alU-a, below the
point at which specie could be shipped without lose.
Can any mortal man give mo a reason or apology
why contraction sltouhl oontinne a day after this
point had been reached? The banks were theo
stronger than they had been for two years. But
Contraction did cuntimi? until on iK? H
tar, the liubililtea tad been reduced to $76,O0l>.(i(XI
?thus reducing the circulating medium of New
York chy from July $82.'KW,000? or upwards ?>f
30 per cent. Tremendous! Wm the like eter
known in the history of bankingf I have no hesitation
in saying it is the continued contraction of
the New Yoik tanks aince the 5th of September,
without tho slightest necessity, wltich line brought
about the present disastrous crisis.

In 1834, Mr. Middle was flagitiously endeavoring
to Ivirce Congress u> grunt him a charter, thronnh
the dnttt ow he tad it iu his power to inflict oli the
country. In March of that year a committee ?{ th<
merchants end bankers ot New Yuik iufurim-d
him liuit unh ss he changed his coarse, and wnald
agree-to their term*, wli.cb were thai the United
Sanies Bank should cense to eal! nti the other banks
for thirty days, his course woaid be denoonoed at
the adjourned nutting of the Exchange.
Mr. Kiddie, at the lust moment, agreed to llwrir
terms, in consequence of which the country was
immediately relieved. But Mr. lVddle was reck
i?w enough when The thitty day* expired, without
the slighest necessity, to enH for these balances, and
give the screw another turn.
Tliiv produced an intense and unexpected pressure,
for it was the New York understanding that
Mr. liiddle should nut ngaitt press them without
some show of necessity. This pressure he continued
until the adjournment of Congress in July,
when ho gave up the chase, and soon atter extended
the loans ol the bank from 47 to G3 millions,
j There was nothing in that prtssure to be compared
in severity to the prcseut. It was wholly
owing to the unprincipled action of Mr. liiddle.
' The pressure of 1837 was wholly unlike the
[ prevent. Daring a period ot great ovcrttude, a few
Loiuioti houses imprudently created nu American
debt of fifty or sixty millions of dollars, by giving
out their acceptances, to be met by other equally
' fictitious bills M< they fell due. These houses fell
1 into discredit, and informed their correspondents in
i Aiuurica that the whole debt must be liquidated ai
onoc, or they must become bankrupt This was in
March, when no remittances eould be mudb except
in specie, which the hanks were called upon to fur
nisb. The New York banks went on for something
over a month, when they found it impossible to continue.
They then suspended, and with them the
whole country. There is nothing like it now, m
there is no fareigu demand for spec is.
The question now arises, what is the remedy!
what is to be done? Nothing can ho plainer. Tin
New York banks must retrace their steps, nu<i
; speedily, or it will be too late. Trey should at "Mix
