THE CAMDEN JOURNAL >V. D. T&AXTHAK A i T HAY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. DECENBKK II, IH73. CouffrrHN. The national Legislature, now in session at Washington, meets many important matters that demand its attention, and which the people expect it to solve. Prominent among* them is the currency question, in volving the causes of the late panic, ana tne means by which its disastrous effects are to be remedied Another is the difficulty growing out of the capture of the Yirginius, ami the murder of the crew. It is possible that the Cubans may refuse to accede to the terms agreed upon between Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo. The Spanish government will then be compelled to enforce the agreement against its refractory subjects; or I failing to do so, the United States must assume the task of its own vindication, and Congress inust decide how that is to bo done. It is not yet certain that we will entirely escape a brush with Cuba. A summary of the President's message will bo found on our first page Upon financial matters, he expresses the opinion that the country can never have permanent prosperity until specie ^payments shall be reached. He recommends that national banks be prohibited f'roni paying interest on deposits and that tlicy be forced into resumption, if only in logal tender notes The President and Mr. Richardson, Secretary of the Treasury, have been riding the hobby of specio payments ever since the panic commenced, apparently attributing our financial troubles entirely to paper currency, and shutting their eyes to everything opposed to this theory. We do not think that paper mnney)is entirely responsible, nor do we think it possible to resume specie payments at present, or wise to attempt it. We want currency at the South, money in any form, and paper will be abundantly good enough for us. A bill has been introduced into Congress to strengthen the credit of the unreconstructed States, and afford them financial relief. It provides for the issue of United States bonds in exchange lor State bonds, on the basis of the exchange of a United States four per cent. bond, for a State seven per cent. bond. The amount of the Slate t it bonds to be taken in exchange is to do mose issued prior to December 31,1873, provided the nniouut does not exceed ten per cent, of the assessed value of the property of the State for 1873. At the cud of five years from the issue of the bonds by the United States, the States shrill begin to pay eight per cent, per annum of the amount of the bonds, and shall so continue to do, until the amount received shall reimburse the United States for the money paid out on account of the States, to be applied first to pay the in tcrest, and then to provide a sinking fund for the redemption of ihe principal. The bill provides for the appointment, by ihe President, of five commissioners to carry it out. and requires the States to adopt a constitutional amendment declaring that no increase of the debt of the States shall be made, without the consont of Congress, until the bonds shall have been entirely paid. It remains to be semi what view Congress n'.U ?i.La ?r this iironositir.ii to extend the " "* ***"*' "" r national charity to the suffering reconstructed States. That body is responsible entirely for the situation of affairs in the South. It inaugurated Reconstruction, and set in motion the now govern mcnts which have ruled us for several years. When these governments began to tremble from the attacks of those who were galled by them, and to shiver with fear of the redoubtable Ku-Klux. ^ingress promptly threw around them the shield of the Enforcement Acts, and lent to their execution the judicial and military power of the United States. ]?ut now the evil is more threatening and intangible. Extravagance. fraud ami mismanagement have involved the States in debt so much that their ; revenues are absorbed, and their credit is i gone. ' nless Congress will interpose, it is i feared that u short time will show Kccon- j ' cj l. I t ; 1 Structloll to t>0 U limine. count euiunuii m [ trying to woik out lior financial problems without the aid of the National government, with what success, rcmaius to he seen. Mills have been introduced to repeal the bankrupt law; to repeal the iron-clad oath; to remove all the fourteenth amendment j disabilities; to complete the water-line l'roin I Ohio to the Jauiea Kiver; and other impor- ! tant objects. The President has nominated tioorgc II. Williams, of Oregon, now Attorney tiencral of the l'nited States, to succeed Salmon I'. I * ?1 (J Chase, as Ciner .lusuee <>i me ^uj.icmu Court. 'Jlie general opinion is, that Mr "Williams is entirely unfit for a position which has always been filled by men of the ' i highest talent, and the most complete le^al I i training. The lately lamented Chief Justice deserves to be ranked with the most I illustrious, and that he should be succeeded 1 by an incompetent man is much to be deprccated. Two lads, named John Wall and Thomas , Howard, had a difficulty in Macon. (Ja., on the ?<>th u!t . when the latter was killed by IJ a knife in the hands of the former. j I Tlic liion Lan . From tlio Columbia Union-11< ? ?//?/, wo learn (hat this law has boon repealed in the Senate, and that it will probably meet the same fate in (he House. In passing the original act, in the Legislature intended to provide means be which rhe planting interests of the State could be promoted, but quite the contrary has been the result. The law, while a few have been benefitted i \ i? '?./.r iiii'niifi'lv inereuy, nas ucuh jiiuuiuun. ... .......?j more evil than good. Says the Inion-lltrdf<f: i: This law was a kind of > r partr legislation. ft is an act altogether in the interest of the factor and merchant, and against the farmer. This, perhaps, may be denied, inasmuch us it is said to constitute the chief inducement to the capitalist to advance the means to make the crop. While this may i>e true in some cases, in most instances its operation is to encourage a spirit of recklessness and debt, placing the farmer in the power of the factor and devouring his substance before it is made. It nurses the fatal spirit of dependence1?not of independence? and when the crop is made, instead of tlio farmer having something for a rainy day. it has all gone in interest, and, perhaps, in extravagance, and the last end of that man U worse than the first. At any rate, those who are interested in this bill say that tin' law has worked to the injury of the cotton market in this state, because it is alleged the crop under lien for advances for fertilizers, urovisions, Ac., was forced upon (ho market at the ruinous prices during and since the panic. We do not know how this is hut it certainly could be done, and the crop under such a lien was liable to the neccssi tics of the holder of the lion, and, at best at his uierey. If there is 110 lien, the factoi and merchant will be careful of his advanccs, and the planter will be economical, and at the end of the year the business of the country will be on a far more sure and pros perous basis." Tlic Legislature. Nothing of importance has yet been done by the Legislature, since the beginning ot the regular session. The Act to repeal tlu lien law, which has passed the Senate, hat received its first reading in the House.? There has been a great deal of discussion caused by a resolution to investigate the number of attache* of the House. It is charged- that they far exceed the number lixed by law. and that there was an over issue of pay certificates at the last session, estimated in round numbers at 8100.0OO.? The Senate has passed and serif to the House a " ltill to provide a remedy in certain eases of debt not due," which, if properly prepared, will afford an efficacious and much needed means of preventing fraud. I The Legislature is waiting for the report of the Comptroller-General, in order that it may he discovered what is the amount of taxable property in t tic State, and what amount of money may he realized from any tax levy that may he ordered. We are not disposed to find fault with them for this delay. It is a matter of great importance that the burden of taxation should be judiciously proportioned to the capacity of thu State to hear it, and that the evil day of payment should be postponed as long as possible. Every dav lielns our neonle in ralivinir from the J XI ^ " cfl'ccts of* the panic. W. II. McCaw, reporter of the Xnrs unit Coiirirr, has been expelled from the floor of the Senate. His supposed offence consisted in characterising a Bill which was introduced into the Senate to prevent unjust discrimination by rail road companies in the transportation of freight and passengers, as a black-mailing strike at the South Carolina Railroad Company. Mr. McCaw has written a letter to Senator Dunn, of llorry, who introduced tho Bill, in which he disclaims any intention of reflecting upon him, and acknowledges to him and the Senate, that he was mistaken as to the character of the measure. The Senate has. so lar, refused to accept this letter as an apology. The people of the State are anxious that the arrangements for settling the public debt should he completed, the rate of taxation fixed, and the Legislature should adjourn. Every day's session costs the State j* I.(tint?and such rohmltlf time should not 1 i 1 * i? V I'J* oe wa-ieu hi irivoiiurs. The Ithnit i*ii|?( Law. * The President. in his message, recommends a modification of the Bankrupt Law, by a repeal of so much of the art as proviiles lor in voluntary bankruptcy. He says: " I have become impressed with the belief that the act approved March 2. 18(17, entitled "An a-t to establish a uniform system >d'bankruptcy thronirhout the I*.

Those who otherwise might make lawful and just arrangements to relieve themselves from difficulties produced by the present stringency in money, are prevented by their constant exposure to attack and disappointment by proceedings against them in bankruptcy.?

Spanish and Cuban Affairs. N'kw York. December 7. A cipher dispatch from Madrid states that the aspect of the Cuban question is i train grave. Minister Sickles to- day tendered his resignation as Minister, in consequence of a disagree ft tent with the authorities at Washington about the Spanish complications. This disagreement has existed for sonic time. It is understood that in the recent negotiations Secretary Fish acted with President Castelar, ignoring Minister Sickles and disapproving of his imperative tone ? I The Correspondencia says they have had frequent disagreements before. There was ' at least a rupture with Mr. Fish on the oc< easiou of the correspondence attending the demand of Hid well from Havana and the Howard case, when Mr. Fish ignored Sickles ' 1 1 i. ? . .. *.l a\. . * l m * ' :iuu ?;?*:4ii uireuny wuii uiu r*j#:u trail ter. If is s:ii?1 in diplomatic circles lliat ' the i;imil offices of the Hritish Minister acI complished a settlement, hut now as Mr. ! Fish proposes further concessions. Sickles resigns. The Cuban authorities demand that the Virgin ins he delivered at some Spanish or Porto Rico port, at the discretion of the Colonial >! ini-ter, there to await arhitration. The opposition t<> President Castclar is culminating in a cabinet crisis. The whole Spanish press is indignantund protest against the tone of President (jrant'sjincssage as an impertinent interference in ('uhyi affairs . which is really none of his business. The cause of the cabinet crisis is the charge that Castclar cringes to A morion. The situation springs from the astounding ignorance, haughtiness and pride of the people, and the foe)inn is intensely warlike. A meeting of prominent citizens was held in this city this afternoon, to arrange for a monster meeting at Cooper Institute next Friday night, to give expression to tho public sentiment with regard to Cuban affairs. The list of vice-presidents include some of the first citizens. Addresses will he**fhnd?r by ihe Rev. Dr. Tyng. Col. Morgan, ami others. It is said that flic steamer City of Merida. the fastest vessel on the coast, will he altered ! ' iufo a gunboat and transport, to be used in ' case of war.
