It seems that in altering a budding in a locality once moro fashionable than now, some letters and other manuscripts, which had been secreted about thirty years ago, between a floor and ceiling below it, were found, and that they have fallen into the hands of persons willing to make a sinister use of them ; and aB the legitimacy of several individuals as well as the possession of considerable property is said to be involved in the matter, the complication has become very painful and interesting. -The Central Executive Committee of the the Constitutional Union party in Missouri has issued an address, calling a convention at Jack? ton OB the loth in staut for thorough organiza tion, consultation aud. action. The address re? cites the terrible evilfi which have fallon upon , the Southern States mrough the unwise legis? lation of Congress, d3scribea the demoraliza? tion of industry, the lestruction of civil order and the inauguration of famine. It protests against the reduction of those States to mero African provinces, where barbarous ignorance blindly rules, directed by partisan adventurers and stimulated by the worBt passions of men. and where the governing population is a doad weight, unable to contribute a dollar to tho public treasury. The address concludes with a reference to the recent elections, and an m - trent appeal to the people of Missouri to unite in the hope of re-eatablishing peace, civil or? der and prosperity to their Slate under differ? ent political rule. CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MOBNLNG, JANUARY 9, 1868. "An Efe to Business." Real estate is low in the South, and, ac? cording to the Sew York "Herald," now is the time for the gentle swains of New Eng? land to secure firms which will rapidly rise in value and win for them a bouncing profit. The "Herald" says that war of races can? not destroy the ie farms which are "going" at fifty cents a i acre; and that prosperity will certainly return to the South within two years. "lu such investments there is no risk, for landed property is certain to increase in value on the admission of the States, even on a negro basis." * The "Heralc." evidently remembers the advioe of SAM WELLER always to "keep an eye to business;" but it is unreasonably sanguine when it assumes that Northern capitalists will risk their money in the fields that, in two s jasons, have ruined so many Southerners. When the negro question is settled and reconstruction is over, lands will still be c leap, and then the "Herald" may keep an eye to business with some hope of success. But while war is brooding and peace seems far off, the young and indus? trious New Englander will be deaf lo the voice of even the unapproachable BENNETT. H e Pacific Ua.Ur,nd. . This railroad hae been entrusted to two companies, and the undertaking will be completed more rapidly than was at first expected. The Union Pacific Railroad, building the eastern half, have pushed their traok to the slopes of Ute Rocky Mountain ranges, hav? ing built about five hundred miles in less than two yaars. The Central Pacific Rail? road, on the western end, have carried their track aoross California and over the Sierra Nevada into the Salt Lake Basin. This is included in one hundred and fifty miles, but it is more than equivalent to all that has been done on the eastern section. The crossing is made at an elevation of seven thousand feet, and in a few days trains may pass from the wharves of Sacra? mento to the mines of Nevada. Already the Pacific Railroad is a financial success. On the western half the business with the beat roads in t?i^c^un&j^?aifuHbo profitable as to bo almost incredible. Traf? fic will increase as the lines are laid, and no estimate can well be formed of the im? mense business which will pour over the road as noon as it is completed from ocean, to ooean Plans ot Finance. So iri.ny plans have already been pro? posed fcir the solution of the financial enig? ma, that few persons havo any clear idea of thc merits or peculiarities of each particu? lar scheme; and, SQ the discussion of our monetary prospects is likely to occupy a I large iihare of the attention of Congress ' during the present seusion, it will be useful to givo a synopsis of the most important proposions whioh have oome under our observation. THE HON. R. J. WALKER proposes : The issue cf a foreign loan for $250,000,000 at six pe:: cent., payable at the foreign capi? tals at fixed rates of exchange; a constant reduction ol' the debt by small but increas? ing annual instalments until the whole is paid; a resumption of speoie payments upon the completion of the foreign loan; a reduction in the national expenditures, ex? clusive of interest, to not exceeding $100, 000,000 a year, so as to admit of a decrease in taxation; a consequent revision of the tarin" so as to go back to the system of 1846, an abolition of all excise duties but those on malt and spirituous liquors, wines and toba :oo, an additional tax upon the national banks of one half of their net profits above seven per cent.; a permission to all persons or corporations to establish banks of which the reserves should be specie and not legal tenders. SENATOR MORRILL, of Vermont, proposes: To pay, on and after July 4, 1869, in coin, all .egal tender notes presented for pay? ment; to sell all coin in the Treasury ex? ceeding $75,000,000,-after paying interest falling due on January 1 and July 1 in each yenr,-within thirty days after January 1 and July 1 respectively, receiving in pay? ment therefor United States, national bank, or sompound interest notes, or three percent, certificates; to require all national banks having on hand les; than twenty per cent, in sp?cie of their respective capitals, here? after and until July 1, 1869, to keep and hold in coin all interest received by them on United Statss bonds deposited by them with the Treasurer of the United States, at.d that all banks shall redeem in coin on demand, on and after July 4, 1869, all their Ottrreacy of the denomination of five dol? i? rs and under, and in coin or legal tenders a.l notes of higher denominations, under penalty of forfeiture of charter and the authorization of new national banks with an equal amount of capital to be located in such States as have less than their true pro? portion of the whole amount authorized by law. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, the leading jour? nal of the West, suggests : A repeal of the act authorizing the monthly cancelment of $4,000,000 of legal tenders; a conversion Rt will of greenbacks into ten-forty bonds; a conversion at will, at par, of any class of bonds into greenbacks; an authorization to purchase five-twenties at their market price and to issue ten-forties in the place of green backs offered for exchange, also to give on demand ten-forties in exchange for five twenties; to apply the surplus revenue each month to the purchase of ten-forty bonds at the market price; to tax the national banks 2} per cent, per annum in gold to bc deducted from the interest on the bonds de? posited by them for the redemption of their notes, banks which refuse to pay the tax to be made to surrender their circulation, the same to be given to new banks in States which have not their ? TO rafa of banking capital. MR. VAN BUREN proposes : To forbid any contraction or inflation and the sale of gold; to suspend the payment of gold interest on the debt for two years, paying seven and three-tenths in paper instead of six per cent, in coin and six and a quarter in paper instead of five in coin; to allow one half of all duties at the customhouse to be paid in greenbacks or national bank notts at par. This, it is claimed, would leave a clear in? come of $CO,000,000 to $90,000,000 in gold, or a reservo at the end of two years of from $200,000,0(10 to $260,000,000, with whioh the redemption of the legal tenders could be maintained. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OK THE SENATE, through its chairman, Mr. SHERMAN, pro? poses : To authorize the issue of new bonds payable, interest and principal, in coin, having forty years to run, but redeemable at pleasure after ten years, and bearing in? terest at six per cent., to an amount suffi? cient to take up and cover all existing se? curities of the United States; to exempt these new bonds from all taxation, in con? sideration of which the Treasurer of the United States to reserve one-sixth of the interest which shall form a special fund, one-half to bc distributed among the States according to their population, and the re? mainder to be applied to the payment of the national debt; to appropriate yearly the amount necessary for the payment of the interest and maturing debt, and one-half of the before-mentioned tax, to the reduction of the public debt; to authorize the ex? change of fire-twenty bonds, at option, after five years from their date, for the new con? solidated bonds; to authorize the conversion of legal tenders into bonds, to authorize the holders of five-twenties to demand their redemption in legal tenders unless the whole amount of United States notes then out? standing shall be equal to $400,000,000; to authorize the issue of new bonds payable in coin in Frankfort or London at a fixed exchange, bearing interest at four-and-a half per cent., running forty years and re? deemable after twenty years, to an amount not exceeding $500,000,000 to be exchanged for five-twenties or sold at par. SENATOR HENDERSON, of Missouri, as a substitute for the foregoing, proposes : To consolidate the national debt in a long loan at 3? per cent., payable in gold, and exempt from all taxation; to require that all nationul banks, now having bonds filed with the Treasi" * secure circulation, shall sub? stitute tor tnem the new bonds or have their circulation withdrawn; to prohibit the giving of more.than seventy-five per cent. ?./ hnndn deDosited to any bank as circula? tion; to make banding as iree as any omer business; to provide for the gradual with? drawal of greenbacks so as to enable the banks to supply themselves with coin pre? paratory to the resumption of specie pay? ments; to constitute a financial board to determine the mode, manner and time of withdrawing the greenbacks, and with pow? er, in case of great commercial distress or panic to supply the banks, on deposit of bonds as collaterals, with legal tenders to an amount not exceeding fifty millions; to remove internal taxes from all articles of manufacture except tobacco and whiskey; to continue the income and stamp taxes, license taxes, the tax on railroad and steam? boat receipts and some others, and in a large measure, to abandon the present ex? pensive system of tax oollection. These are the principal financial plans now before the country, and their perusal will enable an understanding of any modified or new scheme that may be discussed and car? ried. Upon tho disposition to be mude of the national debt will mainly depend the coming Presidential election, and repudia? tion or non-repudiation, expansion or con? traction, will be as important elements in the .contest as the troubled question of Southern reconstruction.
