Among tho measures on which the United States Senate took unfavorable action on Wed? nesday evening, waa tho amendment to the Civil Appropriation bill reported by tho Com? mittee on Appropriations to give $20,000 to tho Charleston Sisters of Mercy for their services toward the U nion prisoners during the war. Mr. Drako opposed the appropriation, and }&x. Sawyor advocated it. Mr. Howard alluded to the oircular lotter of tho Pope dnriog the rebellion, which ho declared to bo positive proof of tho desire ot tho Pope for tho success of tho Southorn Confederacy.' That letter had great influence on tho members of that faith, and but few if any of them enlisted into our armies. It was not too ruuch to say that the whole influence of tho Roman Catholic bishops and priests was arrayed on tho sido ot tho rebels, for which roasoti we had to offer im? mense bouulies to fill up our armies. These Sisters of Morey belonged to tho same sect, and he did not think their case at all a merito? rious one. Mr. Hendricks defended th3 members of tho Catholic church hom the imputation of disloy? alty, and said it was not true that a few of them had gone mioche army-he had ob? served in indiana that there wero large num? bers of enlistments among members of that church. Mr. Frolinghuyson said this waa either a Just claim or it was a gratuity, and to come from Charleston, of all places in the world. If these Sisters were to be paid, then all tho Christian commissions and all tho chaplains would have to bj paid too. [Applause and hisses in the galleries.] Mr. Pomeroy could not look at this thing in any narrow or sectarian spirit. So far as his experience wont, the Pope's letter had no in? fluence on our adoptod citizens of the Catholic faith; they had enlisted very freely in his State, Kansas. Mr. Sherman road from a lotter of Governor Scott, of Sonth Carolina, in favor of the appro? priation, and commending highly tho Sisters. Mr. Drako said there was no proof of tho loy? alty of the Sisters. The amendment was then rejected-yeas 20, nays 22. AFFAIRS IN THE STATE. . York. Tho Yorkvilio Enquirer says : "Mr. S. N. Han? na, of this county, succeeded iu making seven hundred pounds of hut cotton on o:ie acre and a quarter of land last year'. There was no special fertility in tho landj but tho effect was produced by tho application of ton dollars' worth of commercial manures. Without this stimulus, tho land would not have produced much moro than half the amount of lint, or at ^.*?sjar^*^.9xronr... hundrod pouuda.

The Camden Journal has the following para? graphs: On Friday morning last, the ground was covered with snow, but it disappeared be? fore night. Since then the weather has been Yery. cold, with heavy frosts and freezes. Many fruit trees had put forth their blooms, and wo fear the fruit has been killed. Our town presented quito ?'iyely appearance on Monday last. Tho large sale or tii? ??S*2 of tho ?state of the late Captain John Ohssnut attracted n. ]arge ?onCourse, among whom the freedmen predominated, many of them sup Kising that the time had arrived for their ob iniug the long expected "forty acres." The tract of six thousand acres hoing dividod into small parcela, and the terms liberal, the bid? ding waa epiritod. Tho-prices obtained wore fully equal to what the landa would have brought before the war. A few freedmen were fortunate enough to gratify their desire to buy a home. Sumter. The Sumter jail has now bat one occupant other than the keeper. The Sumter News says: "Monday last being sale-day a large number ot persons were pres? ent from various parts of this and the adjoin? ing counties. Property sold well, and the in aoteaaing confidence in the returning prosperity of the South was manifested by better prices fer all commodities sold than had previously Ateon obtained. The residenoe on Main iJtftreet, next abova the comer of Warren 1 street, brought the respectable sum of two "thousand eight hundred dollars-half nash, chalaneo in twelve months. The land sold in ?ho country brought two dollars per acre in iiSome instances. Personalty also sold at good ?;ood prices, and the general tone of tbe people ooks hopeful. We notice a spirit of compro? mise on the part of creditors towards debtors who have been unable to meet their engage? ments, and many settlements of this kind are reported to us." Kdfofield. A post?nico has been established at the Pine Hous?; Dr. George Wiso, postmaster. The Advertiser announces the death of Dr. J. C. Ready. He died at his residence on the Ridge, on Monday, the 22d inst. As a gentle? man, a citizen, and in his professional char ac ter, Dr. Ready waa, throughout his long ana useful life, one of Edgefield's representative naen. The Angosta Press of yesterday says: "Mr. Luther Toney waa killed at the Pine House, in Edgefleld, S. C., yesterday afternoon, by a pistol shot fired by Mr. Benj. Boothe. Ic seems that a crowd, among which were the above named parties, had assembled at the storehouse in that locality and were drinking rather freely; that some enmity existed be? tween them and a Mr. Jones, who lived in tue neighborhood. The latter had armed himself and was approaching the orowd, when Boothe drew his pistol which was accidentally dis? charged, the load taking effeot in Mr.'.Toney's back, and passing through bis heart. Boothe, we understand, immediately left to avoid ar? rest. No difficulty had occurred between tba deceased and Boothe." Greenville. General D. H. Hill is now on a visit to Green? ville. Mr. O. P. Mills (of the firm of A. Miller A po.) has purchased the house and lot occupied last year hy Dr. F. A. Miles, and owned by J. Hi., Bumbough, a non-resident of the town.

TO THE EDITOB OF THE NEWS. The system of national banka is defectivo in two particulars : 1. In the limitation of tho issue of notes ; 2. In the discrimination be? tween the two classes of creditors-noteholders and depositors. ' Let us take thoee in their or? der. Experience on tho drat ot those heads is ampio. Tho limitation of tho issue would ap? pear to have been copied from the restrictive clause of tho act of tho 7th and 8th Viet., en? titled "Au act to roseate the issue of bank noteB, and for giving to tliegovomor and com? pany of tho Bank of Englaud certain privi? leges for a limited period;" in other words, called Peel's act of 1844. This act waB sus? pended on two oocasions, in 1847 and 1857, on account of its too restrictivo character. It compelled the Bank of England to separate into two departments tho functions of bank? ing, to wit: an issuing and a banking depart? ment; tho former of which were to issue notes for gold to tho extent of ?14,000 OOO, and gold for notes to tho same amouut. Tho amount of notes was to fluctuate with tho variations that would attend a metallic ourreney. The efleet of this regulation was that when thore was an influx of gold .from a favorable balance of trade, tho bank note curreucy of tho Bank of Eugland waa propor? tionately increased, money became superabun? dant, the rate of interest fell, sp?cul?t ion and overtrading took placo, followed by distress and numerous bankruptcies. Ou the contra? ry, when there was an efflux of gold, from an unfavorablo balance of trade, arising either from un import of corn in consequence of a deficient harvest or largo foreign loans placed on tho English market, money became scarce, the rate ot interest rose, speculation WAS arrest? ed, credit was curtailed, followed, at times, by hoarding.* There aro two sources of financial disturb? ance. 1. An external drain ot specie. 2. An internal drain. The first may arise from seve? ral "auses. 1. From overtrading, producing an unfavorable balance of trade, and requiring an export of specie to adjust tho balance. 2. From a deficient harvest and an export of spe? cie to pay for imported corn. 3. From the ne? gotiation of foreign loane, which abstract spe? cie, either from tho banks or the circulation. An internal dva in arises from alarm and panic which leads to hoarding. England has expe? rienced those evils to a greater extont than any country iu Europe, ana occasionally all of them at the same time. The aot of 1844, Peel's neb, wis intended to guard against and prevent tho recurrence of ono of these evils-speculation and over trad? ing, supposed to arise from an over issue of Bank ot England notes. We say supposed to ariso, for ample inquiry has established tho fact that tho ultimate source of speculation and overtrading proceeds trom undu* extention of credit, and that the proximate cause or cauaes of such undue extension of credit aro pro? duced more largely from other forms of credit besides bank notes, suoh as bills of exchango, deposits, book debts, &c. It was a mistake, then, io tho framers of Peel's aot to provide against speculation by limiting tho issues of tho Bank of Eng? land, and it was a worse mistake in the framers of the Bank act of the United States to adopt the limitation of the amount of the issues of the national banks, for this obvious roason, that when absolute necessity required the suspension of the Brit? ish acton two occasions-in 1847and 1857-the the British Ministry had only to give a letter or order authorizing the directors of the Bank of England to suspend the act: whereas if a similar suspension were required of our bank? ing law as regards the limitation in question, it could ba done by no less authority than that of Congress, and bet?re that body could bo as? sembled, and tho power given to enlarge tho limit, numerous bankruptcies might toke place. lt ls not difficult to demonstrate that suoh a limitation destroys the most valuable property of bank notes, to wit, their elasticity, lt is when a deficiency of the circulation ls produc? ed by an efflux of specie, or by hoarding, that the expansion of paper money becomes a val? uable auxiliary to credit. Lot us suppose ?5, 000,000 ($25,000,000) in gold withdrawn from tho Bank of England; the hank increases tho rate of discount, to arrest the further outflow of her gold. This of course contracts the cur? rency. L it us also suppose that a panie arises and gold to an equal amount is abstracted from its vaults for tho purpose of hoarding; tho joint stock banka and bankers at t he same time increasing their reserves. This double dr lin would lead to a hiatus of ?10,000,000 ($5GU0OO, 000) in the currency. How is this hiatus to bo filled un'ess by an issue of an equal amount by the Bank of England ? And how is this to take place under tho restriction limiting the issue of notes to a stated and arbitrary amount ? Then leb us suppose tho opposite state of things. Let us imagine a favorable balance of trade and an influx of gold, the deposits of the Bank of England and of the joint atook banka and private bankers to increase. What course ?i ?ZllZJ should there be pursued fey the Bank of England? Th? augmentation of tho depo? sits is a sure sign of the abundance of mouey. lt might amount to a plethora. Does nov com? mon sense diotato that the excess of gold should not be employed to augment the our? reney ? Yet this is precisely what the British law says ought to be done. Its principle is to keep tue notes on an equality in amount with the sold--as it increases to inoreaao the notes; as it diminishes to diminish thom. The practice of tho Bank of England is to invest its surplus of gold in exchoquer bills, and not in bills of exchange or in promissory notes, so as not to interfere with tho jo;nt stock banka and pri? vate bankers in tho discount of mercantile bills. But what is this but to add to the cir? culation which is already full to repletion ? Is not the proper course to let the surplus gold remain in a passive state, even losing the in? terest on it until there is a demand for it in consequence ot an unfavorable exohange? And then it will flow out without effort of any kind, either in payment for imported com, to fill a Kassian loan, or to redress an unfavorable balance of trade. Under the Britis'.i system, the condition of merchants and all those classes dependent on them for employment, will be much more favorable than under the national bank sys? tem, for tho reasons already given. Ic is obvi? ous from this train of faots and course of rea? soning, that the restriction imposed on these banks, by which they are limited to an issue of three hundred millions of dollars, by which all discretion is withheld from them wben neces? sity imperatively requires expansion and uot restriction, is not consonant with principles of sound banking. As regard the other defeot of these institu? tions, the discrimination made between de? positors and noteholders, in protecting the lat? ter from loss, by suoh security aa is afforded by a deposit of United States bonds, it amounts to a palpable violation of justioe; but we have not left ourselves space to-day to make any comment on it. . J. N. C. *lt affords a remarkable illustration of the error of the position that none but practical men are com potent to deal with questions which involve kn.w ledge of details with the knowledge ol principles. The Bullion Report, issued in 1910. was framed by some of tho most eminent men In the British Par He? rn ont-Horner, Huskisson, Thornton, ?te. That se port; whioh embi aced the most scientific exposition of the principles of currency ever made in England, contained, among Its other important truths, the following: '-That a mixed currency, composed of the precious metals and paper, should fluctuate or vary in amount exactly as ono constituted exclusively of gold and silver would fluctuate or vary " This prin? ciple, which ls one of undoubted truth, la a theoreti? cal vomi of view, is impossible in practico.. Those concerned In framing the act of 1844, com? monly called Peel's act,.mado the great mistake o! mtiapplylna the above theoteu?el principle In framing >hat law, as they supposed that the tempo? rary variation ? in the value of gold. instead of its permanent variation?, should be the guide of the diioctorsof the Bank ot England in their 'sano of note*. Among tt e more prominent fra ere of that ?ct were, 1n addition to Sir Hebert Peel, Jones Loyd, an eminent English banker snd writer, Henry Thornton, a no lets eminent bal ker or merchant, also a distinguished writer on currency, ?n i Colonel Torrens, another ? minent author on banking and currency. Here, then, lhere were at least two p<-ee Heal men eogsged in the task of. framing an sot for the r?gul?t ion of the British currency, whioh was twloe suspended in ten years, la 184T ?sid 1*87, fror? its too restrictive character. .But what ls still more remarkable ls the fact, that ute greatest defect of tho law remained to be dis? covered by a writer not conversant with the pnpette* of banking, but simply with Its theoretical principles and those of ourreney, to alt: Jehu Stuart Mill. Ur mu proved (seo his "Principles of Political Economy") that tho effect of the aot of 1844 wasio cause a double drain ot gold from the coffers ot the Bani) of England-for example, If ?he dram cf gold ?PJP'SS^000' u ?mounted, In reality, to a drain of ^,000,000-three millions from the deposits, and three mintons, from the reserve of the Bank of Enaltad. -,t?u*^?^nJf immclonUy obvious.
