TO 1HE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. In some remarks mado by us wo have taken for granted that the paper cur roney of tho United States is redundant. The extent of the excess can only be reached by approximation. Those who have made this subject one of closo examination have taken the increase of tho population as the basis of calculation. Mr. WelleB, the Special Comtnissiouor of the Rev? enue. in his recent able report, has assumed $10 per capita of the whole population as suf? ficient for tho currency of tho United States, including both paper and specie. The next e ?u moration in 1870 will show 42.000 OOO. This mul? tiplied by 10 would give $420,000.000 as tho prop? er limit of the currency of the Uuited States. Mr. Morton, in bis late speech in the United States Senate, has mado tho extravagant as? sumption that our currency is not redundant, hoing between $600 000,000 and $700,000,000. which at $10 per head, including paper and specie, would make the excess between $200, 000,000 and $300,C0'J,(K,0-$15 per head for the whole population. Wo have stated that this subject cannot bo intelligently discussed, unless in connection with the public expenditure and the state of our foreign trade.. 1. The public expenditure. Mr. Mcculloch, in his lata report, states that the expenditures of the government ought to bo reduced to $250 000 000. He estimates the revenue from the two principal aouroos-the customs and the internal revenue-at $300,000 000-a saving of $50,000,000, whioh he would apply to paying off an equal amount of thu funded debt. Mr. Mor? ton's proposition is to apply any saving made by diminished expenditure or addition to rev? enue, to the extinguishment of the floating debt, in which, we have said, we agree with hi aa. 2. The stale of our f ?reign trade. This is an element of great importance, of which little notioe is taken in the remarks made on this subject. Mr. Morton speaks of accumulating f^old by selling our bonds in Europe and bring ng the proceeds to this Bide of the Atlantic; but appears to omit the consideration that we must reduce the volume ot our currency t y tho specie standard before we can sell our bonds in Europe at t> eir par value. He overlooks entirely the influence of a favorable balance ot trade. Our export of cotton for 1869-70 2,500,000 bales-at the moderato average of 20 cents, in gold, (lOd. in Enaland), 450 pouuds to tho baie, will yield in money value the sum of.$225 000,000 The crop of 1870-71 (ihe high price in Europe stimulating the culti? vation in the United States), will produce 3 000 000 bales, suppos? ing the season favorable, and, as? suming the price reduced to 16 cents per pound, in goid, (81. in England), will yield a money value ot. 216,000,000 $441,000,000 If, therefore, we have a favorable se son wo will have, when we add tho other articles of export, tobacco naval st .rcs, potroleum, &c, at least $500 000 000 in vamo of exhorts on the credit side ol the account, as tho aggregate money value of our productions for tho years 1870 and 1871. ' A no lesa important element, however, is the aggregate amount of our. imports. Tho bal? ance of commercial debt has bo m against us, because in 1865 and 18G6 we imported in value moro than we exported. The cheapness of money stimulated tho consumption.or foreigu fabrics our importa wcro greatly above our ability to pay, and wo wcro compelled to send our guld una our bonds to redress tho balance of trade against us. The contraction of the currency-in othor words, roduciug tho vol? ume Of our paper money by paying off a por? tion of the floating debt-will have tho effect of lessening the consumption, and conse? quently tho importation of foreign fabrics. Thia, co-operating with the increased value of our exports, will soon bring about an equilib? rium between our imports and exports, and, {?er hap?, produce a balance of trade in our aver. If Congress would havo tho moral courage to reduoo the expenses, and simulta? neously reduce the public floating debt, we would be a'.do to resume specie payment? on or before the first of January, 1872. It is on these expectations we rely; ?or it would greatly assist the object in view it that body would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to cane! legal tender note? to the amount of $50,000 000 annually, as they are paid in for taxes, whioh would be at tho rate only ot about $4 000.060 per month. If the revenue from customs, whioh is receivable in gold, and whioh, according to all reasonable cn calai ion. will amount, on an average, to .$150,000,000, is upplif d oniv in the proportion cf ono-thw.I, say $50,000 000, to the extin? guishment of another $50 000 000 of tbo float? ing debt, wo would have $100.000,000 applica? ble to that purpose. This ?um, in throe yoara, will roduco tho floating debt from its present amount to $350,000,000; or, in other words, BO iraprovo our pap. r currency ss to bring it to au equal valu? w th gold. That it would not embarrass* the Treasury by leaving a surolua of gold ot o bout $?0'00i) 000 to pav the interest oh Ibo national debt, instead of $80,000,000 or $100,000 noi, wo fe JI assured. We binn up otu- roasoi in? on this subject aa coi i ei.-ol y as pusbiblo au follows : 1. That om Eaper currency is redundant to an extent thal rings it to about $15 per head for the whoU of our population, instead of $10 per hoad-in normal proportion beforo tho war-say in 1802. 2. 'Ihat until we reduoo this plethora of pa? per money, we can nevor return permanently to specie payments; for if we should have i balance of trade in oui favor and an influx o: gold, it will be exported us mercfiandise to fine a bettor marker, aaoording to that law of Cur roney by whieh a better oar roney oanriot cir c?rete in company with an inferior oirculatiuf medium 8 Tii.it an indispensable preparatory stet to this end ia to rc tinco tho floating debt; ii other words, oancel or redeem $100,000,000 po annum of this debi; and that for this purpos* thero shouul ho a reduction of pubho expend! turo to at least $50,000 OOO annually, with th application or auotnor $50 000,000 nf the gob .orpins in tbs 7'reasuvy to tho payment of th floating debt, leaving the funded debt, aa th lesser evil, to moro propitious circumstances J.

The report of tbe Committee ou Business, is far ss it proposed to amend tho constitution io as to give one director to each State, and tc [ive the President the power of appointing an Executive Committee, and to give tbe directors ho power of appointing a mauaging director, vas agreed to, as waa also the following rec immendation: Ihat the convention urge and advise the Pouthnra irepB to require nu o seri -tiona to bo luid invariably n advance, and to require, os far as may be, cash oaymoat for all advertisements. The following resolution provoked, as it was nto.ulod by the committee to do, a long dis )uHslop: Rttolved, That a spacial comm?too ot five be ap loluted who n iall prepare and n p irt to this conven? iez, a t'etuiled plan ot telegraphic news servie? for he southern Pies-i Association. Mr. Clisby did not waur au independent uows isBOciation, but thought it best to negotiate vit li existing associations. Mr. DeL'jon said the Southern press was drong enough, and in any negotiation au aabo liation of all the papers woad no doubt, be .ble to effect more favorable terms tuau indi? vidual newspapers. Mr. Randall said it appeared that there ex? its a regular oombinatiou against the South? am press, and that it was limo, and it b J ?ooved us to make some organised effare to id ourselves of this tyranny, and better our londition. Mr. Dawson asked for information In regard ?rn Mr. Barr, and whether he was the agent of ?his association. The Pr?sident of the Conveation, who had ?cen recently on a visit to Washington, stated . that while in that city he had oooaelon to send lome dispatches to his paper, and delivered then to Mr. Barr, who promised to forward mom. Later in the day he oallod upon Mr. Barr and asked if the dispatches had been tent as they were written. He appeared some? what oonfnsed, and * titted that Lia M>S. a;. 1 iisptitebes wore subjected to supervision, ana bhe dispatches in question had not been sent In their original to: m. Mr. Dawson asid that Mr. Barr was paid bv tbe Now York Associa,ed Press, and was only ? nominal agent of the Southern Association; lhat wjat we want is an agent in Washington who will faithfully attend to his bunino a and send news for tho benefit of tba whole South ern proas, and not ia the interest of jay North? ern newspaper or association. Mr. Engelhard said his exDerienc > with tho New York Associated Prebd waa a.very hard one. Io 1860, his paonr aud another,'establish? ed at that time, paid $20 apieco for dteoatohes. In the summer months the editor of kaw?papar, the Wilmington Dispatch, ceased to take the telegrams, and untd tho latter Dirt of .October, he W4B compelled to pay $40 per week: At thin time, busine ss having sprung up somewhat, tho other paper again took the dispatches nod was allowed to do so without paying any bo? nus. A ebort time after the paper was chang? ed from a morning to an eveninar, and Ibo dis? patches wero furnished to it at the r; to of $12, and his tolls increased to make up tijp differ? ence. He was ODDosed to hoing the football ot tho New York Telegraph Associated Press, that be would prefer to give moto than is now being paid rather th in depend upon tho association. Another complaint h& had to make was that the press agent in bis city is the publisher of a paper, and that be makes use of the New York Assoo-ated Press as an ad? vertising medium for bis paper. Mr. Chsby submitted the follow.a? substi? tute for the resolution offered by theoemmittee, wbioh, after being amonded by Mr. Dawson, was adopted: Resolve t, That a committee of five nu mbers of this association be ch rged with the duty A? miking such arrangements for telegraphic news n?r to them shall appear most economical and expedient, ?md re? port to the meeting. -, . On motion, the chair was authorized te tele? graph to tho President of the Union Telegraph Company for tho purpose of ascertaining if they will Dogoliate for DOWS. Mr. Dawson offored the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, I hat the newspapers now reinvented in thia association, WHOSO assessments are in arrears, bo nodded ot tho tact by the treasurer, .-vi that if their du. s be not paid up in thirty diyifrom the date of that notifie it ion, that they bo stricken irom the roll of the association; also, that ... foll of tho members be published when the said thirty da^B have expired.

M., the mem? bers of the Board of Trade being present by invitation. Tho Pr?sident of tho Convention rose and said : Afr. Presided af the Board of Tra'Ic.- The Conven? tion over which I bave tbe honor to preside, desire mo to expr?s; tbeir sincere thanks to you. and through yeu to the members of the Board of Trade and to tbe*people of Mooile, for the manifold and munificent kinducss, hospita'ity and courtesy which wo have received collectively as well as iudividually. Nearly all of us came hero sti angers to you and your poepln. and wo can only say we leave bore . adding anotbei li.ile tn the grateful memories of our lives. We recollect the history of Mobile in time past when she was justly styled tho Queen of tho Oulf, * and no city stood higher f r tho liberality and hos? pitality ot ber people, aud the enterprise, prosperity and energy of her merchants. We recollected in thoso dark and dreary days, wiiere naught savo a fl Hb ins smack or a government steamer, carrying supplie* to tho Garrisons, appeared in your beantifnl hay. save now and then during tho darkness ot the night, ?li u a stealthy bio -kador would Ri le nt y pass out carrying a few locks of tho "Hoary King" to lor eion paru. In those dayt> wo reeolh ct, sir, bow the peopl of Mobile banded together, and stood firm and faithful to their brethren ot tho South. On the excursion ye-terday down tht? same bay, we saw a portion of your merchant navy; and even when lighted up by t i<> battle-fires from tbe fleet of the gallant Buchanan, the ">ay never sliowu brighter than on this occasion, being liga ed up with the bright eyes of Mobile's fair daughters. I am deput? ed to make you a testimonial, and if we h id present? ed you one in value proportionate aud in keeping with our feolii gs and tbe hospitality which we have received, why, sir, it would bankrait the whote Southern press. Colonel Lamar hera presented to Colonel Woodruff a pair ot' handsome heavy silver gob? lets, containing in thc centre ? Goddess of Liberty in medallion, surrounded by a wreath. They boro tho following inscription: PRESEN i ED TO THE MOBILE BOARD OT THA.DK By tho Fonthern Press Association. Mobile, f eb. 20, 1869. Commercial Independence and the Freedom of the Press. In these signs we conquer. Colonel Woodruff, in receiving the goblets, thanked tho President for the cn m ni i m ont arv manner in winch he had spoken of Mobile and her people, and the convention for tho testi? monials, which will bo re tu med by tho Board of Trade as a remembrance ot the meeting of tho Southern Press Association in Mobile, Which afloided him and the members of, the Board of Trade and other cit iz ns tho oppor? tunity of making the acqnaiutanoe of so laxvo a cumber of the gentlemen ol the Southern Paglia. J He. BP ked lbnt t{b &e?ir]enr|?j|yH^ gentlemen of the conveutior* Would a? their respective oities and their morch^/Athe highest regards and complimente of the Mo? bile Board of Trade; and in conclusion, wished the members of the convention a pleasant aud happy return home. Both Colonels Lamar and Woodruff were heartily cheered. The convention then adjourned, having com ple.ed all the business brought before it. In making up my report I have been under great obUgations to the reports published by the Mobile Rog at er and Mobile Tribune. D. PROM THE STATIS CAPITAX,. The Charleston Klee Hoi? Bill Again Th? Town mt Beaufort Owned by the United States Government-Florence and Lancaster ttallroad-Manen ester and Augusta Railroad-The Methodist Episcopal c hnxeh. [FBOIC OUB OWN OOBBESPOMDB?T.] COLUMBIA, S. C., February 25, 1869-The Charleston Election bill was doubly secured in the JTouse to-day. An impression had been made that the aotion of the Houso last friday was illegal for the want of ' a quorum, and it was determined to have it over again. So this mormng'the Speaker roused the excitement of the members by tho announcement that tho bill to confirm and declare valid tho recent eleotion for Mayor and Aldermen, which had been passed to a third reading list Friday, by a vote of yeas 60, nays ll. had not been legal' ly passed; that tho nu ?ber voting, though a majority of those present, did not constitute a quorum. The whole representation being one hundred and twenty-tour members, required sixty-three in attendance to make a legal quo? rum. Jenks thereupon introduced the follow? ing res lution, which was agreed to : Re it le'olvtd, by tbe House of Representatives, Ti.nt this House hereby rescinds its action whereby lt pa sed a bill to coufl rn and declaro alid the re? cent election of alayor and A derinon > f the City of Charleston, order, d the tit o thereof to be changed to that of an act, and ordered the said bill to be en? rolled. The bill was then taken np for another second reading, and the question being taken on pass? ing the bill to a third reading and ordering it to be engroasod, the yeas and nays were called and resulted as follows: Teas 72, nays 19; ab? sent or not voting 29. Agreed to. The following papers were presented to be entered on thejonrnal: I vote "no" on the passage of the foregoing bill, as I do not behave lt will pi rant tue Mayor und Al ds&men eleot *f Charleston te take their 'eats. Il UK mer. JAMBS. I vote "no," beeauso I believe that tho object sought to be obtained under the bU' cm oaly be gaiut'd t..rough a decision ol the courts, ann in my opinion thia bil wdl not only prolong and not stop litigation, but will involve additional constitutional Issues, attended with great delny and vexatious int? uition. R. O. LELABCB. Elitott, from tho Committee on lUilroads, re? ported favorably on a concurrent resolution requesting the Congi o;- s of <the United States bo aid the coaatruotiou of tho Memphis, El Paso and Southern Trans-Continental Ba ?Jroad.

O.Tiered for consideration to-morrow, and to be printed. Leslie, from tho same committoo, to whom was referred a bill to charter the Manchester and Augusta Railroad, reported back the same, with a recommendation that tho bill do pass. Ordered for consideration to-morrow, and to be printed. A resolution was adopted appointing J. M. Allen, ot Greenville, H. J. Lomax (colored), of Abbeville, and C. W. M >ntgomery, of New? berry, proxies to represent the inter CHt of the State at the meeting of tho Greenville and Co? lumbia Railroad Company.

Abbeville. The Abbsville Banner in copying tho testi? mony of Tolbert, says : "It will b3 apparent to every one, after a perusal of this testimony, that Tolbert has made many statomenls which have not the (semblance of truth. But when ho is in the hands of tin State police, being torturer) daily, no doubt, in order to extort sueh testimony from him for party purposes, af tor ho bad voluntarily surrendered himself to the constabulary forces of the State upon tho faith of their pi-onuses of a pardon for his offenoes, it is not surprising that ho bas made so many gross misrepresentations of affairs in our district within the past twelve months." York. Tho Yorkvillo Enquirer notes the following ealos of real estate : "Ou last Thursday, the 18th instant, Messrs. Tho nson A Jefferys, assignees, made tho following sales ot lauds belongiug to bankrupts, at the courthouse in this place. "Oue tract of 51 aores, belonging fco the estate of D. E. Thomas, at $4 05 per acre; bought by J. A. Thomas. One tract of 240 acres, boltmg ing to the estate of Samuel Black, at $10 95; bought by James M. Hope. Ono traot 180? acres, belonging to the ?ame estate, $5 30; bought by ts. G. Homphill. Two tracts, be? longing to the estate of S. L. Reid, one of 1G1| acres, at $6 00 and one of 39 acres, at $2 10; bought by S. L. Reid. One tract of 47 acres, belonging to the same estato, at $6 20; bought by R. C. Reid. At the same timo aim place, two Shares ot King's Mouutain Railroad stock were sold at $8 50 per share." Greenville. The Enterprise saya : "We think it due to a crcat many creditors in this and other parts of tho State, that their liberal and generous course in compromising old debts should be commended as it deserves. We have heard rocentlyot many instances of liberal settle mouts bjtweon parties, aud wo behove that thc disposition to make them hi? decidedly increased of late. Parties have all bocomo more and more impressed with the reasonable? ness of compromises, and a liberal scaling public opinion of the people generally, and the advice of the lawyers, all favor them at this time. W.! have seen that in Anderson the juries brought in verdicts sealmg old debts, and were sustained by the approval of the peo - pfRfeur the bar.' The tee Ima as to such debts .<?lTlftili"exleud in every coijnty 'according to d0fc?^uv3?aa^dxia.\ A puk. io m^TUtg ??ext < sale-day is to bb held st Ak? marta %n? to Greenville, in reference to this important/ matter." BEHIND TSE S CEN. S. Glimpses ox* Theatre Management-Ex pense? and Receipts--* X-?. per" Houses TIac f-tagc and tbe * < mpany--Ballet Girls-Xne Compen lation of Dramatic Antbors. A writer in the London Daily News gives some ioteresting details of theatrical man? agement, from which we make a few ex? tracts : lu a large, first-class West End theatre the nightly expenses average about ?70 or ?80.and the receipts vary from ?30 to ?300, according to tho success of the entertainments. As a rule the receipts are below the expenses; tho loss is made up by some lucky hit, when they ore largely in excess. Christmas is the best thea? trical season in the year. Summer is the worst, except when it is wet. In winter, however, every wet night costs the manager about ?20. Nothing, however, is more deceptive than a full "house*" tor no one, except the manager and the noting manager, knows whether it is filled with money or "paper." Paper is the slang term tor an order. As the general public dislike a void, if that void bo not filled un with persons who have paid tor their seats, it had to be filled with persons who have nob paid for them A large and by no means a po u- lass never pay to go ?uto a theatre; indoed, thor? oughly to understand the parsimony of the human species, a man must have - been tho manager of a theatre; His table is oovorod every morning with letters asking for orders, on all conceivable pretexts. THE STACIE. Everything connected with bringing out a pieoe is under the control of the stage mana? ger, in a first-class theatre the company con? sists of at least the following artists: One leading mau, one ligut comedian, two old mon, three walking gentlemen, twe character aotois, two low comedians, one leading lady, one old woman, ono .young leading lady, oue singing chambermaid, one broad chambermaid, three walking ladies, utility men, male und female supernumeraries. Salaries of stock actors ami actresses vary from ?12 to ?2. They are by no means easy people to manage. They Uve iu a world apart, and their ideas of their owu merits are frequent y at variance with those of the'stage niauager. No port is too good for any of them, but few parts are good enough. Those who are "oast" in bad parts m a play usually announce their intention to leave rather than play thom, but on reflection they generally think better ot'their decision. No one, however, will ever play a pan a bair's breadth out of bis own particular line. If a first walking gentleman were asked to play a third walking gentleman's part, he would be as indignant as au attorney-general were he call? ed upon to doLud a piokpocket in a police court. Managers are often blamed because minor parts in a pieoe are badly played; they cannot, however, help themselves, because go xl actors will not play them. Actresses stand even more on their dignity than autora; their mutu? al jealousies exceed even those of fine ladies. Audienoes must of .ou have remarked thai in burlesques, so gn and dances are ii tro Juced ir. defiance ot tue requirements of tho situa? tion. Th? reason usually is that Miss A. re tusoa to play unless, liuo Misa B. she be given n song, or, like Miss C.. a danoo. Tho great difficulty in bringing out burlesques is to find who IflU p?ay the part ot gi la. ?hoy til want to be boys, to show then logs, which i:i nine oases out ot ten are padded. Too pad? ding is woven into tho flash-colored leggings winch they wear, so that it is almost iiupoam ble to deteot it. TH* wAnrmoBE. At the head oi this department is a master bailor and a mistress of tho wardrobe. Tho dike and satins used on tbe stago are usa a I ly taught wholesale. Tbe dresses tor a larjro burlesque or a pantomime oosi many hundred pounds. Actresses are obliged to find their own bonnets, boots and groves. Actors iu plays of modern life find thou- own dresses. THE BAIAJCT. Ballet girl? are seldom required in a theatre ixoept when burlesques or pantomimes are olaved. They re?oive about twenty-flvo shil wgs a week. It ts . n error to mimoso that, is a rule, they are 'last." On tho eon; raw, ?hey are usually the daughters or nieces of tot ors, and they work honestly for a amati ptt iauoe. Besides the persons already- enumerated, here are, on the -thole working staff of a thea? re, dressers, gas-mon, fir. ni n, check-takers, beaners, one or two messengers a hall por? ker, a prompter and a oell-boj; altogether about ODO hundred persone find ponnauent em? ployment PLAYS AND n?BLESQUE-l. A play ie eithor paid for by a pcrcontago on tho profltB, or at a fixed rate poi- night, or it ia bought. It is by no moana easv to obtain good ones. Tho number of bad onos sont to managers is enormous. They aro usually written by aspiring author? who know nothing of stage offeots. lb requires not only talent but a vast amount'of technical knowlodgo to write woll for the stage. Managerd aro almost always obligod to fall back uoon experienced dramatic authors, and to accept with grati? tude whatover thov may offer. Throo or five act plays, when not paid forby a uoroontage on profits, usually cost from ?200 to ?800, or from ?3 to ?5 cvory night they aro actad. The prico of a uood burlesque varies from ?50 to ?120. Farces aro seldom worth more than ?10. Their succoss usually doponds moro upon the actors than tho author. elwari.
