CONGRESS AND THE CHARLESTON
CATHOLIC ORPHAN ASYLUM.
Among the measures on which the United
. Statos Senate took unfavorable action ou Wed?
nesday evening, was the amendment to the
?jQrnl, Appropriation bill reported hy the Com?
mittee on Appropriations to give $20,000 to the
' 'Charleston Sisters of Mercy for tboir services
?toward the Union prisoners during the war.
.'.-> Mr. Drake opposed the appropriation, and
? Mr. Sawyer advocated it. Mr. Howard alluded
, to the cir eu hr letter of the Pope during the
. Rebellion, which he declared to be positive
?proof of the desire of the Pope for the success
.?f the Southern Confederacy. That letter had
great'influe,, .'e on the members of that faith,
and but few if any of them enhsted into our
armies. It was not too much to say that tho
whole influence of tho Roman catholic bishops
and priests was arrayed on tho side of the
rebels, for which reasou we had to offer im?
mense bounties to fill up our armies. These
. {Sisters of Mercy bolunsrcd to the same sect,
and he did not think their case at all a merito
I rioua one.
Mr. Hendricks defended th 3 members of tho
' Catholic church from the imputation of disloy
? ally, and said it was not true that a few of
them had gone into the army-he had ob?
served in Indiana tbat there were large num?
bers of enlistments among members ol that
j church. j
Mr. Frehnghuysen said this was either a
. just claim or it was a gratuity, aud to como j
from Charleston, of all places in the world.
If these Butera were to be paid, then all tho
Christian commissions and all the chaplains
would have to be 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 went, the Pope's letter had no in?
fluence on our adopted citizens of the Catholic
faith; they bad enlisted very freoly in his
State, Kansas.
Mr. Sherman read from a letter of Governor
Scott, of South Carolina, in favor of the appro?
priation, and commending highly the Sisters.
Mr. Drake said there was no proof of the loy?
alty of the Sisters.
The amendment was then rejected-yeas

na, of this county, succeeded in making seven
-iumdred pounds of hot cotton on one acre and
a quarter of land last year. There was uo
i special fertility m the laud; but tho eff.-OG was
produced by the application of ten dollars'
worth of commercial man tires. Without this
stimulus, the laud would, not havo produced
much more than half the amount of hut, or at

cents, would be worth $15, and at the present

TUE NATIONAL HANKS.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEWS.
The system ol national banka is defective in
two particulars : 1. In the limitation of thc
issue of notes ; 2. In tho discrimination be
t wo n the two classes of creditors-noteholders
and depositors. Let us take these in their or?
der. Experience on the first of these hoads is
ample. Tho limitation of tho issue would ap?
pear to have been copied from the restrictive
clause of tho act of thc 7th and 8th Viet., en?
titled "An act to rebate the issue of bank
notes, and for {riving to tbe governor and com?
pany of the Bank of England certain privi?
leges for a limited period;" in other words,
called Peera act ol' 1814. This act was sus?
pend :d on two occasions, in 1847 and 1857, on
account of its too restrictivo character. It
compollcd tho 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 ge. I to tbe cxtont of ?14.000 OOO,
and gold, for i<>tC8 to thu same amount. The
amount of notes was to fluctuate with the
variations tbat would attend a metallic
cunoucy. The effect of this regulation waa
that when there was an influx of gold'from
a favorable balance of trade, tho bank note
currency of the Bank of England was propor?
tionately increased, money became superabun?
dant, the rate of interese fell, speculation and
overtrading took place, followed by distress
and numerous bankruptcies. On thc contra?
ry, when there was an efflux of gold, from an
unfavorable balance of trade, arising oitber
from an import of corn in consequence of a
deficient harvest or largo foreign loans plaoed
on tbe Eng'ish market, money became scarce,
the rate of interest rose, speculation was arrest?
ed, credit waa curtailed, followed, at timos, by
hoarding.*
Thero aro two sources of financial disturb?
ance. I. An ex'.crnal drain ot specie. 2. An
internal cluain. The first may arise from seve?
ral -anses. 1. From overtrading, producing an
unfavorable balance of trade, and requiring an
export of specie to adjust the balance. 2.
From a deficient harvest aud an export of spe?
cie to pay for imported corn. 3. From tho ne?
gotiation of foreign loans, which abstract spe?
cie, either from tbo hanks or the circulation.
An internal drain arises from alarm and panic
which loads to ho rding. England has expe?
rienced these evils to a greater extent than
any country in Europe, and occasionally all of
thom ut tbe same time.
The act of 184i, reel's act, wis intended to
guard against ? nd prevent the recurrence of
one of these evils-spoculaiion and over trad?
ing, supposed to arise from an over issue of Bank
of England notes. Wo say supposed to arise,
for ampio inquiry Ins ostabhshed the fact
that the ultimate source ot speculation an.I
overtrading proceeds from undue extension of
credU, and that tbo proximate cause or causes
of euch unduo extension of cre-dit aro pro?
duced more largely from other forms of credit
besides bank notes, such as bills of exchango,
deposits, book debts, &c.
I* was a mistake, then, in the framers of
Pool's act to pr?vido against speculation by
limiting tho issues or the Bank of Eng?
land, and it was .a worso mistake in the
framers of the Bank act of -ho United
States to adopt the limitation of the
amount of the issues of the national banks,
for this obvious reason, that when absolute
necessity required thc suspension of the Brit?
ish acton two occasions-m 1847and 1807-thc
the British Ministry had only to give a letter
or order authorizing the directors of the Bank
of England ta suspend the act; whereas if a
similar suspension were required of our bank?
ing law as regards the limitation in question,
it could bo done by no loss authority than that
of Congress, aud bet?re that body could bc as?
sembled, and tho power given to enlarge tho
lirnit, numerous bankruptcies might t uko place.
lt is not difficult to demonstrate that such a
limitation destroys tho most valuable property
of bank notes, to wit, their elasticity. lt is
when a deficiency of the circulation is produc?
ed by an efflux ot specie, or by hoarding, that
tbo expansion of paper money becomes a val?
uable auxiliary to credit. Le: us suppose ?5,
OOU.OOO ($25,000,u??) in gold withdrawn from
tho Bank of England; tho bank increases tho
rate of discount to arrest tho further outflow
of ber gold. This of courso contracts tho cur?
rency. Lot us also supp iso that a panic arises
and gold to nu equal amount is abstracted from
its vaults for tho purpose of hoarding; tho
joint stock batiks and bankors at tbe name time
increasing their reserves. This double drtiu
would lead to a hiatus of ?10,000.000 (J?O.?OJ,
000) in the currency. How is this hiatus to bo
filled uu'ess by an issue of au equal amount by
tho Bank of England ? Aud bow is this to tako
placo undor tho restriction limiting thc issuo
of notes to a stated and arbitrary amount ?
Then let us supposo tho opposite stato of
things. Let us imagino a favorable balanc J of
trade and an influx of gold, the deposits of the
Bank of England and of the joint stock banks
and private bankers to increase. What course
of policy should thcro DO pursued by tho Bank
of England ? The augmentation of tbo depo?
sits is a sure sign of tho abundance of money.
lt might am?me t to a plethora. Does no. com?
mon sense d?ctalo that tb? excess of gold
should not bc employed to augment the cur?
rency ? Yet thia is prceisely what the British
law says ought to be done. Its principle ia to
keep the notes on an equality in amount with
tbe gr'ld- -as it increases to increase the notes;
j as it diminishes to diminish them. Tho practice
of thc Bank of England is to invest its surplus
of gold.in exchequer bills, and not in bills of
exchange or in promissory notos, so as not to
interfere with the jo nt, stock banks ana pri?
vate bankers iu tho discount of mercantile
bills. But what is this but to add to tho cir?
culation which is already full to repletion ?
Is not the proper courso to lot tho surplus poid
remain in a passive stato, even losing tho in?
terest on it until tboro is a domaud for it in
consequence ot an unfavorable exchange? Aud
then it will flow out without effort of any kind,
either in payment for imported coin, to (ill a
Russian loan, or to redress an unfavorable
balance of trade.
Under the British system, the condition of
merchants and all those classes dependent on
them for emuloymotit, wdl be much moro
favorable than under the national bank sys?
tem, for the reasons already gi von. It is obvi?
ous from this train of facts 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 when neces?
sity imperatively requires expansion and not
restriction, is not cousouant with principles of
sound banking.
As regard tho other defect of these institu?
tion, the discrimination mado between de?
positors ard .^oUholders, in protecting tho lat?
ter from lona, oy such security aa is afforded
by a deposit of (Jmted States bonds, it amounts
to a palpable violation of justice; but wo have
not left ourselves space to-day to mako any
comment on it. - J. N. C.
*It affords a remarkable illustration of tho error
of tho position that none but practical men are com?
petent to deal with questions which ?nvolw ku -w
led^o of detail* with the knowledge oi prineiplee.
The Bullion Report, issued in 1810. was framed by
some of tis most eminent men in th? British Parlia?
ment-Horner, Huskisson, 1 honiton, 4c. 'That re?
port, which omb.BCQd the mos; scientific a;pcajt;<,>p
?i tao priuciploa of currency ever made In England",
contained, among its other important truths, the
following: '-Thatr. uiixe? currency, eomaosi-d of the
precious metala an?! paper, should flue uate or vary
m amount exactly as o .o constituted exclusively of
gold and silver would fluctuate or vary " T his prin?
cipio, which is ono o? undoubted trutti, in a theoreti?
cal point of view, is impo.-Bib e in practice.
Those concerned in framing the act of 1S44. cm
monly coiled Peel's uct, mado thc great mistake ot
misapplying tue above theorrti al principio in
iramiug hat law, as they suppose! that tho t?mpo?
ra' y variation- in the value of gold, instead of its
permanent variations should be tho guide ol' the
duectorsof tho Bunk ot England iu their ssue of
note?.
Among tl c more prominent fra ers of that act
were, in addition to Sir Robert Pcol, Jones Loyd,
au ?. ciment English b inker sud writer, Henry
Thornton, a no ic.a eminent bai ker or merchant,
also a distinguish- d writer on currency, an I Colonel
Torrens, another .-minent uulhor on banking and
curroner. Here, iheu, (lien were a', least two poe?
tical mon encaged m the UBk or framing an act tor
tuc regulation of i be lin tish currency, which was
twice suspended in ten years, in 1847 and 1857, fro?
ile too restrictive character.
But what is still more remarkable is tho fact, that
thc g catest defect of tho liw remained to bc dis?
covered by a writer not conversant wLh the. practice
of batiking, bat simply with in theoretical principles
and thoso of cirreney, to \. it : J ?bu Stuart Mill.
Mr Milt proved (sue his "Principles of Political
Economy") th it t> e effect c" th* ;.ct of 18?4 wah to
cause a doubl", drain of gold ironi thc coffers ol the
Rank of Ei.g.?ud-for exaiutlc, lt thc druin < fu?id

?C,'.00,U0J-three midi?os from the d? posits, and
three millions from the reierve of tho Rauk of
England.
The reason of this is sufficiently obvious. It tho
Subsumtion ot notes f r gold wai exactly equal, thc
effect of withdrawing Un co minions ot gold from tho
deposits of thc Rank of Eng.and would have bei?
s'mply the loss or three mdlious; but according to
the rule of the bask ot Eu g lau. 1, ta* there never
should bc one-third in gold of their liabilities, (their

The abovo analysis indicates a Manorial Superphosphate or Limo of the highest grade ordi?
narily found in tho American market. Its lartro amount of 8o!ublo Phospborio Acid supplies'
an activo nutriment for tho devolopment and maturity of the fruitage. The Sulphuric Acid
which it contains, by chemical affinity with the elements of most soils, contribute to its Fer?
tilizing Properties. To show its bcdt effects, thia Superphosphate should be applied under
