April 10.?Twelve ca dets af the Porter Military Academy! woro suspended today by tho faculty for ? imaging; property, Interfering a ith discipline and aiding and abet i ng the same. They will hi all proba pillty be expelled by the board of trustees. All of tn? cadets suspended arc un? derclassmen, members of the scond, third and fourth classes. Their names j ure withheld from publication by the Boy. H. J. Mlkell, rector of the acad? emy. For the past few days the boy? disciplined have been smashing win? dows of the academy buildings and, otherwise conducting themselves In an Improper mannet, so that the ac? tion of the faculty lodny was brought i.bout from an exhaustion u? pa? tience. It M understood that the cadet- sus? pended are friends of the first class? men recently expelled, and 'were in? cited by a spirit cf resentment against the authorities of the school ta auch an extent that they could not behave themselves longer, but hid to let out their anger in dimaging th* property if the school / It '.s possible that ihf r*c*r.t trct 1 le at Clerrson has incited tie *'..ung ei cadets of the Porter acadmey b? make a bid for publicity bv c >niuct irg themselves in the way they huve done. At any rate, the ac?l n of the faculty today in suspendli a 1' of the Porter endets was brought about only I by* the grave necessity of preserving I the discipline of the school through Vrompt actjofi, and It is u?w thought that m?M of th > unruly element of the Institution hns been dt?p??ed of and that there will be no further tr.iuhh* from tha behavior of the e:t dets. Most* of the 12 suspended indefinite? ly were among the doserters who left In the recent tro ible, but were taken tack. There seemed to be a well planned action among them to make trouble, probably with the hope of being sent home and their hope has been fully realised. Tuesday mght the most open break was mgde by the cadets concerned In this trouble. They smashed several window glass*? In the domitories, cut the lights off by severing the light wires and raired a big rucua in the dormitories, thereby disturbing seri? ously the order of the school. A very determined stand has been taken by the faculty to maintain th j discipline of the school and this will le done at any cost To-day the re? maining cadet* are apparently ?con? vinced that good behavior Is the best policy and have given no trouble. I Those suspended left the academy grounds with their belongings and will probably remain away indef? initely. ? / i ? \ Had Better Ask IHin. Or es hem P.

CALHOUN'S THEOKY OF CKKIUT. Wise Men Think That He Was the Greatest Constructive Statesman This Country Has Known Since tin Days of the Men Who Signed the Constitution. From the Norfolk Landmark. Some very wise men think 11 ? r:? John C. Calhoun was the greatest con? structive statesman this country has known since the days of the m.n wh ? built the eonititJtion Manv boM*?ve' that his theories Instead of becoming "relics of the past," are strengthening v. 5 th time and are more :ippl.cable to I resent conditions than they were t<? conditions prevailing in the author's day. Mr. bustavus M. Pinokncy, of Charleston, S. C, contribues to the Manufacturers' Record a.i interesting condensation of Calhoun's theory of credit currency, which contains sev? eral prophecies remarkable in the light of what has happened since Cal houi.'s death. Calhoun's Idea of the best paper currency is thus set forth in quotations from his speeches In congress, made apropos of the panle ef 1837: "The great desideratum is to ascer? tain w^hat description of paper has the requisite qualities of being fre< from fluctuatlcn fn value and liab.lltv to abuse in the greatest perfection I have shown, I trust, that the babk notes do not possess these refplieitrti in a degree sufficiently high f??f this purpose. I go further. It appears t?? me, after bestowing the best reflec? tion I can give to the subject, that n> 'convertible paper?that is, no paper whos-j credit rests upon a "promise to pay"?is suitable for currency it Is the form i?f credit paper In private transactions between man ai.d man, l ut not for a standard of value t> rcrform exchanges generali?, which, constitute the appropriate functions of moncv or currency." "No one' can doubt but that the government credit IS better than that of any bank?more stable and more safe. Why, then, should it mix up with the lass perfect credit of thes* institutions? Why not use its own credit to the amount of its own trans* actions? Why should It not be safe in its own hands while it shall be considered safe In the hands of 800 private Institutions scattered all over the country and which have n - other object but their own private profits, to increnao which they almost con? stantly extend their business to the most dangerous extremes? And why should the community be compelled to give 6 per cent discount for the tanks when the superior credit of the government credit blended with that tf government could be furnish* d sop iratcly, without discount, to the mu? tual advantage of the government and the community? Why, let n e ask. thould the government be exposed to such difficulties as the present by mingling its credit with the banks when it could be eocampt from all auch by using by Itself its own safer credit?" "On what then ought a paper cur? rency to rest, I would say on demand and supply simply, which regulates tho values of everything else?the constant demand which the govern? ment has on the cemmunity for its necessary supplies. A medium rost irg on this demand, which Mlayty i?1 - ligates the government to receive It in all of Its duos to the exclusion of everything else, except gold and sil? ver, and which shall be optional with those who have demands on tbe gov? ernment to receive, or not, would it seems to me be as : table in its vihte at those metals themselves, an.I tc as llt.le liable to abuse as ihe power tf coining. It would contain wllhln itself a self-regulating powr. It could only be issued to those wh > had claims on the government, and to those only with their consmt and, of course, only at or above par with gold and '.liver which would be its habitual itate, for, so far %i the government was conct rned it would be equal In every reopoct to gold and iliver, and superior In many, Tortlc blarly In reflating the distant ex? changes of the country. Should, how? ever, a demard fe>r gold and silver from abroad or other accidental causes depress it temporarily as compared with the precious metals, it would then return to the trt asnry, ? nd as it could net be paid out during such depression, It* gradual dimunl t!on In the market would soon restore it to an equality, when it would again flow out into the general circulation Thus there would be a constant al? ternate flux ard reflux Into and from the treasury between it and the pre? cious metals, but if at any ttmo a permanent depression In its value poaalble from any cause the only ef f< ct would be to operate as a re.luc t'< n <>f tax s on tho community, and the >nly sufferer would be the gOV? i rnmcnt itself Against this its own Interest would be a sufficient guar? anty."
