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

Williams, of Oregon, now Attorney tiencral
of the l'nited States, to succeed Salmon I'. I

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.

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

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

Those who otherwise might make lawful and

in money, are prevented by their constant

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

' 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. A ouantity of ship timber is
, now on her wharf, which it is said will be
used to strengthen her, so that she can carry
heavy ordnance.
