money, is Revolting, and contrary to our whole J coarse of commercial polioy. We want no commercial privileges from foreign countries if they i are to be obtained by a money equivalent, and not founded on real reciprocity. This part of the proposed treaty we suspect to be nothing but the completion of the postal arrangements which General Gadsden made with the Mexican govern- , ment, which embraced certain commercial conces- . sions essential to the perfection of those arrangements.?Evening Newt. Mexican Negotiation*. The treaty Mr. Butterficld has in charge is a postal arrangement, with some important commercial concessions, concluded by ourlato Envoy, but which, owing to the disturbed condition of Mexico, could not receive the ratification of the Presidents substitute before. This we alluded to last summer. With this valuable instrument, which secures a weekly mail to every port in the Mexican Gulf, with the coasting trade to American tonnage, the messenger, Col. Butterfield, is said l to have in charge another convention, which purports to loan fifteen millions of dollars to Mexico, three of which ore to be reserved to pay that amount of American claims against the Republic; and private advices from the capital intimate that " c ho naiil tn British HT0 miIIIUU5 U1 VUc ivau uivi vv vv |rw??> .? subjects, to satisfy, most probably, the monopoly of Baron Forbes and Company, which has been imposed on poor, spoiled Mexico by British power. This foreign, M&rcy and Crampton diplomacy, "the formation of a treaty with an equivalent in the form of a loan," the Charleston Evening Ktwt has justly remarked, " as forming a new feature in the diplomacy of this country," We are unwilling to believe that the retiring administration will attempt to foist so dangerous a precedent on the foreign relations of the United States. But we feel a confidence that if essayed, such a negotiation, if concluded and approved by the retiring President, will receive the cold shoulder as has the Nicaragua, Marcy, Clarendon alliance, from those guardians of State sovereignties ?the Senate of the United States. We await more reliable intelligenc from Washington, before this subject of becoming mortgagees on foreign loans to bankrupt governments, invites further comments. The Marcy foreign policy must soon be on an ebb in Washington, on such abstractions in Nicaragua and Mexico. South Carolinian. Business and Finance. The business of the country is laboring under the difficulties of a tight money market, and all sections and classes feel the presure. This stringency is th3 result of the Protective Policy, as exemplified in the Tariff of 1846, now in force. By its unjust and inordinate taxes, it has raised from the consumers of the country far more money than the wants even of our extravagant Government require. This money has beon collected in speoie, the constitutional currency and legal tender of the land, and is now deposited in the national sub-treasuries. Here it lies safe and un connected 'with the banks and banking power and patronage. And the disconnection is right enough; for such a connection is unconstitutional, inevitably corrupting, and dangerous to the liberty and interests of the sections and peeples of the country. But while it is right that the money of the country should be kept separate from the banks, -.we find the withdrawal of so large an amount of specie as twenty-two millions, a serious embarrassment to our finance and currency. Specie is the basis upon which the paper credit of the banks are issued, and it is estimated that banks cannot do business safely without an average basis of say one-third specie, for the redemption of their paper. When, therefore, so large an amount of specie is removed from the currency, there must follow a contraction of the paper credits constituting loans and accommodations to the business community. This is the chief cause of the present money pressuro, and here we are enabled to see plainly one phase, at least, of the injury and distress resulting from a Protective Tariff. Besides the immense amounts squandered in appropriations of the most reckless and profligate kind to all manner of schemes of States, companies, and individuals, sufficient revenue has been raised by the operations .of the Tariff ot '4G to pay off, in the last four years, about forty one millions of the public debt, and yet there remains in the Treasury twenty-two millions undisposed of. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates tnat, in little over a year, there will be a surplus in the Treasury of about forty-four millions. Unless some disposition is made of it in the mean time, by which it can be used in commerce, the currency must be further effected and greater stringency produced. If the Banks contract their issues so as to be safe, business must be embarrassed; and if the Banks do not contract, their issues will be unsafe, and speculation, inflation, panic and disaster may ensue. These are the views now expressed; and it is well for us to fathom, if possible, the depth of any probable emergency.?Charleston Mercury. A Merchant Cowuided by a California Widow.?A few evenings ago a cowhiding affair extraordinary took place at one of the fashionable boarding houses in New York. It appears, from tbe Tribune, that there was some 80 boarders, including merchants with their wives and children, and several clerks. Among the females was a charming "California widow," about whom one of tbe merchant boarders had put in circulation some unpleasant reports. The Tribune says: The lhdy paid no attention to the reports until one of a more virulent nature than the rest was circulated when she made up her mind to cowhide the individual, and communicated her intention to some of the other boarders whom she counted as her friends. She had set the day and time at tbe dinner table. The day arrived, but for some reason the dinner was later than usual, an occurrence that caused a more general assemblage of the family. The bell at length sounded, and owing to thejateness of tbe hour great haste was made by all to the dinner table. About 50 persons were already seated and among them the merchant?unsuspecting merchant! In a fewmomentsthe injured woman entered. She approached the merchant and demanded before the company a retraction of the scandalous reports he had circulated, and an apology. Refusing to retract or apologise, she drew from the folds of her dress a strong cowhide, which she applied with a will to his head and shoulders.? So severe were the blows that his face was completely marked lengthwise and crosswise with red lines. Some of the ladies screamed, nnd were \ sorely agitated, and many of the gentlemen remonstrated ; but the lady paid no attention, but still dealt her blows vigorously upon the head of the offending merchant. At length one of the gentlemen interfered and wrested the cowhide from her hand. The victim was removed to his room, where he was confined several days, in consequence of the mutilation of the pbysiog. Publishing Newspapers. The Abbeville Banner, noticing the difficulties of establishing any uniform rule for papers in different localities and circumstances, has the following very truthful remarks: " Let every proprietor establish such rates as will compensate him for his labor, and adhere rigidly to them. The only way to build up the journalism of the State, is for every proprietor to exact from his patrons such prices as will be a reasonable remuneration for his services. We never can have an able press, unless it can be made sufficiently profitable to induce talent to accept its management as an exclusive profession. Most of the country papers are conducted by persons having some other profession besides that of an editor; because the position nt an editor docs not afford such a salary as would induce liim to forego other professions and devote himself exclusively to the conduct of his journal. This, ft however, is an unfortunate condition of journalism, resulting, to some extent, from the fact that it is overdone in the State. We have too many of them, and this evil cannot be cured l?y conventions; but must wait the amalgamation or death of one half, leaving the other half successors to the business of the whole." Ova Court.?The Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions met at 10 o'clock a. in., yesterday; Judge T. J. Withers presiding. No cases ou the civil side of the Court were tried, excepting those relating to the process docket, which was unusually large. The indictments submitted to the Grand Jury were assaults and batteries, delivering spiritous liquors to slaves, horse stealing, larceny, &c. True bills were found against the liquor venders charged, the number of whom is by no means small. The case of the State vs. W. W. Dunsford was called and disposed of?the jury finding 1he defendant guilty of an assault only.? The Court then adjourned to meet to-day at 10 o'clock a. m. There are many important cases before the present term of the Court, involving large aniouuts and of difficult settlement, and calculated to bring out all the learning and ability of the bar.?South Carolinian. ... *??? ?Death or tue Original Uncle Tom.?The Indinnpolis (Ind.)
