i i FREB BANKING. It is evident the ''measures pertaining to the currency and banking will occupy a large share of the Attention of Congress this winter, and from the almost universal demand for an Increase of banking capital and circulation it is evident that the doctrine of free banking will be received with more favor than it has been hitherto. That legislation upon the' currency and banking question is needed, as a matter of simple justice to the business interests of the West and South, it would be vain to - deny.. -As the case now ltands,New York Pennsylvania, and the New England States have too large a proportunate share of the amount of the authorized national banking facilities, and 'as a consequence, tlnse sections which ' do not get their .'proper distributive' share, complain of the inconvenience and high rate of interest which ' their business men are uniformly sub jected to.'"5 The amount of nation!al bank currency now authotizbd U:$353,'I7,4T0. -Out of this the t . six ?ie.K,ngland 4 alales nave 6 108,648,279. while the th'rtceu Southern9- States, ' including such wealthy -? States - as Kentucky, Louisiana, Virginia and Maryland, bave only 839,976,108. New York and Pennsylvania' have a fraction over $103,000,000. This leaves about 102,000.000 for all the Western States.'' - These figures show at a glance 'how unequally the currency is distributed, and if any further illustration is ' needed' it wilt be found in the fact that the little State of Rhode Island has about as large a ahare as Indisna. While there is a vast accumulation of currency in all the groat centres of the East, which is loaned out at high rates to speculators, or used in buying up .Government bonds, the new States of the West-, whose business and population are expanding in a much " larger ratio, have not a sufficiency for their le gitimate operations.'- This hard' ship is particularly felt, in an Aggravated form, at the seasons"1' ot marketing and moving the crops,' and with a view of affording relief to the West and South, the Comp troller or toe currency - recom menas me repeal or the law ffuicb provides for the : distribution" of twenty-five millions of the'eurerncy by transferring 'that' amount from New York and New England to those, needy seotions, and the issue of Ave millions of bank capital annually for. the next five years to States cwhiob have not recei ve It The method, suggested is enough as far as it goes,: but; it does not go far enough. If the nation tanking system,; is to" bo perpetuated, it will sooner or later have to be made free,: so that Yt it-. t. may adapt itself to the growing wants of -tbe different sections of -... i the country,' leaving each locality to judge, of its financial requirements. The free banking system, when - these - institutions derived their franchises from the .local instead of the Federal Government, had a fair trial and worked to the general acceptance of the business public in several of the State. With, free banking on notes, secured by collateral Government bonds and a central redemption 'agency; or ' some other means for securing elasticity, no better currency could be devised. - It has been urged in opposition to the free banking system that it would be liable to run into excess, owing to the large profits attending the business ot banking; but this danger could easily be guarded against by, restricting the .issues to ninety . per cent of the par value of the bonds, and the simple expedient of 'compelling the banks to replace their reserve of .legal tenders with gold; and to tbis end, prohibiting their sales of gold received on account of a liberal percentage on their circulation. " Thus the way might be paved for a resumption of specie payments, and, the difficulty of a legal apportionment of banking facilities to different secti- ns of the country be at the same time avoided. A convertible or mixed currency can never be redundant to any great extent, or for any length of time; and the moment Congress is able . to inaugurate a process which shall surely, if slowly, lead bar banking institutions back, to tbe first and only sound principles, of public finance, it will , be & perfectly' safe to throw open 1 the door to free competition,' when the system will naturally adjust itself to the laws which govern the trade in money, no less than trunsactions in merchandise.

' comprehensive grasp of mi ad the'develop- . vent 4t each new branch, of American imtustrv i s an object of congratulation, as it discloses to his eyes" a new bond which is to t bind ont1 conn try together and make us more 1, independent of foreign' ideas, and influences. , . The planting and growth of oar viueraVds has made rapid strides daring the past ten years, and as each vintage gucceds the other, new proof is "adduced that in a very ' few yeara America can and will prodcre wines in qual ity and quantity sufficient lo be a powerfa competitor to : France' and Germany, which countries have for so 'many years realized from ns fcr light wines an enormous revenue. Nicholas Long worth was one of tbe earlisst pioneers in thia enterprise, and though he 'made some godd wines out of the Catawba grape, and waa fortunate enough to hare its , praises sung by one of -our most gifted poets, . still the wines did not come up to , that high standard of excellent which promised a ' great practical' result. It was not until Cal- ( ifornia, by tbe great diveraity ol ' ber soil aud climate, had demonstrated that in her bo com the grape found a congenial home, and ' on her hillsides and in her valleys would flour- ' ish its it had' never done, even ia the mos t favored Euiopean - situations, that practical men who had been bred vinters in the old 'world, saw that part was a source of wealth which only needed patience and intelligent skill r to i. develop r it.1 , The priaeipal grape ased hi the making of ,. wines is the "Mission Variety. It takes its name Irom having been early introduced into California by the Spanish Jesuits. Mure '. than On hundred varieties of .foreign R rapes , : known are growing to-day in the State, and as soon aa tbe vineyarda which are planned to varieties liko "Re ish in if anil Zuifadd produ'ee sufficiently, we shall have wines slmost identical with the European brands. Messrs. . Perkins A Steara, who are the pioneer house in the business, hsve informed ns that during the first year of the ' business, viz. 1860, the j total salea did not .exceed three' thousand gallons, anJ , at that ; time, aod for several . years after, they were the only bonse doing anything in California wines.' ' The product of 1871 waa in round number, '7,000.000 gallons, being from 60 to ?5 pel ' cent, larger than that of ordinary- years, despits the severitv of a two years drought, Tbis large increase came from the older vines fearing out' further" additions 'due (6 vines that themfirsf came into bearing This fact ettahliahes that tbjB .vine haa nolbing to fear, in this StatQ from the most i tringtnt drought, after being' one e well ' rooted.' With a five years' growth it is found to be beyond danger from this eaase. - '..;: '- .i ' - Judging of the future by the past, and taking into consideration the., fact that California haa been obliged to labor nnder the disadvantage Of high priced labor aad exorbitant rates f interest, that nearly all her vine yards are new to aay nothing of the, preju dice existing against all American Wines, if ia aafe to conelude that the busiuesa is on a aafe aad profitable basis, and will continue to ; preajper. ,Such at leaat is the judgment of all who are familiar with the subject. . . i n a jur Hew Postal Sysfeim ; Our postal system, with all its defects, is a 'monument of Government benefiience. No-, body would dream of transferring to private hands thia vast, well organised and wellcontrolled system of communication between every section of our own land, and reaching out td the most distant parts of tbe habitable world, Ita usefulness, Us security, its ines- . timablu value, depend upon the fact that it is controlled and adminiatered.br a hand no less powerful than that of the general Government itself. But the postal system does i not begin to meet the demands of mode a enterprise.. It Is too slow both for social and commercial requirements. Every year 1 a larger proportion i of correspondence between persons ho!dio intimate relatione with one another falls to the lot of the telegraph. It is for this reason .that the proposed national ' postal telegraph ' syatem is looming ; up into aacb prominence, that ita adoption . is , probably only a question of time. The advantages to be gained are tbe general diffusion of tbe benefits of telegraph- - ic eomntnnieation .throughout the country, at rates of charge aq moderate aa to bring them within the teach of all classes, and the regulation and responsible control ef 4 tie lines for ths pnblio good, instead of private advantage and emolument, aa at present. As a first result of the assumption of it ' constitutional authority over the' business 6 telegraphic- communication by tbe Govern - . meat, the rates of charge for private - measa- ; gea wouH be reduced , one-half below what they now are, and the consequent increase in the number of tnesssges "woald soon lead to and juaiily a sliH further reduction in the rates. : . ? ..... ..'"' x ; " -' ' There is in the United Kingdom about tbe same extent of telegraph wires that there is In the. United States;"the charges .for aerviee are bat little mora tbaa "half what they are .bare, aad yet tbe reeeipta are almost doable the amount of the running expenses, aswil " be seen by the followiag exhibit; in the year, ended March 31, 18T3," the receipts of the' , f oat-Office wr 4,680,000 pcaods; expendiUres,J,iM.eW profits, 549,054.

It would seem that tho warehousing law lo insure fair dealings bas utterly failed of its purpose. In tbe " single - case of the Muna - A Scott elevator, it appears that there has been ai. discrepancy of; nearly) a quarter of a miilioa bushels of Grain, between tho actual contrnts of the elevator ? und the f amount that appeared on the book of the Stato : Register. Another case shows an'excess of more than fifty per cent-in the . actual r weight of Grain over that stated in the way. bill and charged for : The Committee allege that country shipper?, sending from -points .where there are no scales, can underbill Grain while the Urge cities are shut out. They ascribe the growth of this species of fraud to tbe prior practice of railroads in charging ' excessively for r shrinkage, shortage and other waste.' : The companies charge fall freight for tho amount shipped; they, deliver i a, smaller quantity, tho peicentageof loss being determined by their own caprice, so that the receiver ; not only py3 for the freight on Grain that id not, -according to the railroad companies, transported, i The. excessiVff fjhfttage charges have frequently, been brought before the attention J of the mercantile community during the last year1 or two, but no method seems to have been hit upon io put an end to the abnse. An early return to athe honest method of s taling the exact wrijtUt of,,Grain' shipped and the delivery or that amount at the point ol destination minus " a -reasonable dediuitjoii 1 for wastej" "is an "absolute necessi ty ;LandT unless Chicago shall "heartily'." co operate . in 'n reform movement to this' end, nothing is 'more'' certain than ' that"' she will lose her grasp 'upon' tho Grain Trade.' v ' " ' :'?
