The Union ana Recorder of Mflledgeville 1ms this to
say about the Phillips-Waddell affair:
After waiting until out of all patience, the parly in
Florida, it is said, picked up a stable door, and, after
marking the size of their antagonist on the door, set
it against a tree, and after measuring off the distance
.-.an tioned by the Code, drove a ball through the cen
tre of the door. If this is true, the party in Ala
bama ought, in honor, to acknowledge if he had
been there in place cf the door he would have
been shot, too; but instead of that, be pertina
ciously denies through the newspapers that be
has been killed either in person or vicariously*
But this controversy has revealed a perfect prodigy iu
the person of Colonel or Dr. Lay. If we knew which
title he preferrea we would give it to him, lor we don’t
wish to offend a man who has fought forty-two duels
and has been thrust through the heart, liver, lights
and midriff as often as Jack Falstiff was through the
hose and doublet. It is said ho thinks no more of
killing five or six men before break last than he does
of drinking a mint julep. That is awful! As he is the
only specimen of a live Anthropophagi ever seen in
this country, it would pay well if he could be carried
about and exhibited. Ilia cage should bo very strong
or people will be afraid to come near enough to look
at him.
The Savannah merchants have passed this resolu
tion :
TREASURER JOSES’ CIRCULAR.
We make no apology for the space occu
pied this morning by the patriotic circular of
Treasurer Jones. He sets forth in clear and
forcible language the necessity for this appeal
to the patriotism of Georgians. The credit
of the State is dear to every man, woman and
child, and we do not believe there could be
found within its limits a single citizen who
would not prefer onerous taxation rather than
the fair name of Georgia should bo dishonored.
The very mention of repudiation of honest
indebtedness is repugnant to the sentiment of
the people. Feeling strong, however, in our
houest purpose to pay every dollar that we
owe, we do not intend to be frightened into
paying the fraudulent indebtedness of the
Radical plunderers. Because we have refused
to recognise this indebtedness Henry Clews
and bis confederates have done all in their
power to break down our credit; ond we
regret to acknowledge that even some of our
own people have given these speculators all
the aid they could by embarrassing our credit.
We know one or two firms who, because they
could not get the commission they demanded,
1 have done us great harm. One person has
made himself particularly prominent. Mr.
Tbos. P. Branch, the cashier of the Merchants’
and Planters’ Bank of Augusta, wrote a letter
to the Constitution shortly after these bonds
were issued, in which he stated that he could
buy past due sixes which these bonds were
issued to redeem, at 85. Mr. Branch is the
only person to whom we have heard they were
ever offered at this price, and it seems strange
that lie did not buy all he could get at this
figure, and exchange them for 8 per cents,
which he knew would be paid at maturity.
Subsequently Mr. Branch presented one of
these past due six per cent, bonds at the
Treasury and demanded currency, and when
it was refused, and he was told that be
could get 8 per cent. Nutting bonds
in exchange, he refused to accept them and
protested the bond for non payment. These
facts we have on authority, and therefore
presume that he is the person referred to who
advertised the $10,000 of Georgia'eights at 9G.
He well knew that not a single ono of these
bonds bad ever been sold below par.
When be was telegraphed that he could re
ceive a check for them, he replied ihat the
Resolved. That this Chamber suggest to ilia banks
t lie policy of issuing bills of exchange on New York of
small denomination, to be in all cases drawn ou the
banks there with which they keep their accounts, ami
.-.gainst balances which they have: that such bills of
exchange would pass in all parts of the State and the
adjoining States, and would furnish a medium through
which the produce of the country cou'.d be paid lor
and forwarded to market.

The Augusta Chronicle has this:
A dispaten was received yesterday Ly Maj. Geo. T.
Jackson, from Mr. D. F. Appleton, to the effect that
the Dominion Line of Steamers bad been secured to
1 on between Liverpool and Port Koval, and that three
hundred tons of coal would be wanted at the latter
place on the 20th of November next, at which time
the first of the steamers will certainly arrive from
Liverpool. This steamer will thus he the avant cou
rier of a splendid line, which will run regularly be
tween England’s great seaport and Port Royal.

CIRCULATING AW ABSURD PROPO
SITION.
As usual, the Constitution tries to please
both sides. In its issue of yesterday it pub
lishes a sensible communication on the sub
ject of the present financial crisis, while in the
next column it copies, without comment, and
without condemnation,an article from a Grif
fin paper, giving the views of Mr. Wm. M.
Tomlin, on the same subject. Mr. Tuinlin
proposes that the farmers shall hold their cot
ton and refase to pay tbeir debts unless the
cotton is taken in payment at the rate of
twenty cents per ponnd. Mr. Tamlin further
proposes that the merchants shall then re
fuse to pay their debts to Northern creditors
unless these latter take the cotton at the same
price.
A more absurd proposition was never made,
and a more dangerous one cannot be imag
ined. If an attempt was made to carry it
out, it would throw every merchant into
bankruptcy. The price of cotton is fixed in
Liverpool, which market controls the rates in
New York, except in rare instances. It wonld
also result most disastrously to the farmers
themselves, because it would entirely destroy
their credit.
In fine the proposition was so grotesquely
absurd that when we were requested to pub
lish it we promptly refused, believing that
our columns could be filled more acceptably.
The Constitution, however, which tries al
ways to run both ways, printed the stuff with
out denouncing it, as that paper should have
done. That it cannot be seriously consider
ed by half dozen intelligent men in the coun
try does not render the action of our cotem
porary less open to censure. It’s Northern
exchanges are not unlikely to copy it as the
evidence of our disposition to get rid ot our
honest debts by a most unfair procedure.
We are inclined to the opinion that Mr.
Tumlin did not seriously consider what he
was saying when he proposed a gigantic bull
movement in cotton, and a sort of highway
man’s combination by debtors everywhere
against their creditors. But that a news
paper, which, pretends to guide public
opinion, and which ought to act with delib
eration, should silently promulgate the
absurd opinions is a matter of grave impor
tance to the merchants and planters whose

YO MORE CREDIT BUSINESS.
On and after October 15, we shall cease to
deliver papers to subscribers who have cot
paid in advance. The necessity for us to
adopt a strictly cash business is imperative,
cur c-ppenses being very large and requiring
a large cash outlay every week. We
trust that our friends and patrons everywhere
will appreciate the motive which prompts this
step. Ten days before each subscription ex
pires, we shall send a printed notification to
the subscriber, and if by the time of its expi
ration it is not renewed, we shall stop the pa
per.
On and after the same (late (Oct. 15) we
shall most positively adhere to the system of
cash in advance for all transient advertise
ments, and monthly payments in advance for
all contract advertisements.
All overdue accounts for advertisements
and subscriptions not paid by October 15th,

OUR NEW YEAR’S PRESENTS.
1 dorsed the measure, and the Herald may be
said to have stood as god-father to the bill
when it first saw the light.
Yet, notwithstanding the hearty support we
accorded it and the enthusiasm with which
we hailed it as a measure of deliverance, we
will confess at this late moment that we had
terrible misgivings as to its propriety, and
very little hope that it would prove practica
ble.
The prostration of all our industries, the
paralyzation of our trade, the poverty of our
people, the disasters that had attended our
farmers in the previous season, all tended to
weaken the probabilities that much of the
loan could be placed at home. The very
spirit and essence of the bill rendered it fool-
| ish to hope that any considerable amount
; could be negotiated in New York.
And yet the bill was passed, and Col. Jones,
relying upon tho patriotism and pride of the
Georgia people that he knew so well and so
thoroughly, determined to attempt to nego
tiate the whole of the $12,000,000 inside the
State of Georgia.
This project was looked upon as wild aud
perilous. That a people so impoverished,
and so discouraged as ours; that a people
whose State was developing ten times faster
than her capital would reasonably allow could
invest twelve hundred thousand dollars in
bonds, was considered next to impossible.
Yet what is the result? Though the bonds
have only been issued seven months, nearly
the last one of them are taken. Every bond
has sold at par, and the loan has been nego
tiated by our home Treasurer among our
home people, at a cost of less than one per cent.
To CoL Jones’ honest, earnest, manly, can
did conrse, the great measure of this success
is due; to his fearless and prompt defense o
the State’s credit when radical brokers at
tacked it, is due the high price at which the
We are receiving daily many letters asking bonds have sold; and to his economy and
questions about our system of distributing
New Year’s presents. In reply to the most
important of them we have to say:
First—That there is nothing that savors of
ft lottery about the scheme. We furnish a
paper for $10 a year, or $5 for six months.
This is our regular price. We have charged
it all the time, and shall neither increase it or
diminish it in the future. We sell a man this
paper for $5 for six months, as formerly, and
present him with a New Year’s gift. That’s
all.
Second—A club of five daily subscribers
from Rockm&rt were received yesterday, each
of whom paid $2 50 from October 2d, which
carries their subscription to January 2d, the
day after the distribution. These gentlemen,
by paying each *2 50 in addition to what
they paid when they subscribed, will receive
a receipt carrying their subscription up to
April 2d, and a ticket each iu the distribution.
All that is requisite is that a man shall hold
a six months’ receipt dated after October 1st.
We desire every subscriber upon our books
to participate in this distribution.
Prince Crouy-Cbanel, who claimed descent
from tho ancient loyal house ot Hungary, re
cently died in Paris. Though for many years
of his life he was a writer on public law, he

rigid integrity is due the marvelously low per
cent, at which the negotiations have been per
fected. The successful and id* ; onest plac
ing of this loan is a very excellent, climax of a
long and well spent life. To the people of
Georgia, who with such prompt patriotism
have rallied with their last surplus dollar to
the protection of the State’s integrity and the
State’s honor, we give all praise. Georgia
will ever hold them in grateful remembrance.
their creditors into receipting their accounts
for eighty-five cents on the dollar. It is more
honorable to sell cotton at ten cents, and loose
money by tho operation, than to attempt to
get around the full payment of an honest
debt by any sort of scheme.
Besides, the statement that a planter cannot
make cotton profitably at less than twenty
cents per pound is not correct. Even at fif
teen cents he will obtain a profit and all
above that figure pays him handsomely, In
stead of telling planters to demand twenty
cents they should be advised to sell when
they can obtain a fair profit, and iu the pres
ent financial condition of the country it will
be not only wisdom, but simple justice to
their creditors to sell at fifteen cents and thus
enable merchants to meet their obligations.
It is all very good to keep on pleasant rela
tions with everybody, and perhaps the scheme
of Mr. Tumlin will delight a few inconsider
ate persons, with Utopian visions of money
made by this scheme ; but it is the duty of
journalism to step between the public and all
visionary schemes, and to openly condemn
all propositions affecting the public, which
are not founded on justice. This, however,
is precisely wbat “the other paper” doesn’t

Mr. Jolmfl. James announces this morning
a resumption of his bauking business, with
certain conditions, the good policy ot which
will be at once perceived. We feel sanguiuo
that every one of Mr. James’ depositors will
resume business with him, and send their
money to his bank with as much confidence
in bis solvency as if the financial tidal wave
had not temporarily staggered him. All that
Mr. James asks is a brief period in which to
realize on his assets, when he will be prepar
ed to pay every* man to whom he is indebted,
to the last dime. No better evidence can be
required of the solidity of his house than the
fact that it can resume business, even though
partially, within nine days of its suspension.
We are certain that within sixty days not one
of his loan certificates will be in circulation,
and that his bank will be more prosperous
aud inoic popular than ever.
ON HIS FEET AGAIN.
Mr. James’ announcement that he will re
sume business this morning is one that will
he hailed with joy by every citizen of Atlanta.
It was never supposed for an instant that
be would remain closed for any great length
of time, and his resumption to-day is not sur
prising to those who know the wonderful en
ergy of the man.
To one part of his card we call especial
attehtion: “Don't listen to any street ru
mors, bnt come to my office to see me.”
That request is fair and just and honest,
and we hope that, all his depositors will ac
cede to it. Go to him. If he can't satisfy

corners.
The correspondent of the Eastern Budget,
writing from Vienna, says:
The statements in General La Marmora’s
book about the policy ot Prussia in 18GC have
produced tremendous excitement among the
Austrian public. Ono letter especially, which
is quoted by the General, has awakened uni-
veisal indignation. It is that addressed on I
tho 1*2tli of June, 18GG, by Queen Elizabeth *h000, tbe championship aud
of Prussia to her nephew, the Emperior se?en inning*.
Francis Joseph. In this letter Queen Eliza-: Damel Jones,
beth states that King William has given her township
his word that no actual treaty between Italy ' lodged
and Prussia exists, and that if Italy were to
attack Austria Prussia would not be bound
to follow her. It is alleged that
the result of the letter was that Aus
tria did not believe Prussia intended to fight,
and neglected her military preparations accor
dingly. But though this attempt to reopen
old wounds has unquestionably produced a
strong effect on the public generally, it has
not made any impression in diplomatic cir
cles, and it will most certainly in no way in
fluence the present friendly relations between
Austria and Germany. Geleral La Marmora
is, no doubt, a s neere patriot, but, being also
a zealous Catholic, he probably wishes to pre
vent the journey of King Victor Emanuel to
Berlin aud the establishment ot the relations
between Italy and Germany on a more inti
mate footing. It is evident that he fears, on
the one hand, that Italy may become more
dependent on Prussia than ever, and, on the j
other, that the war which ha3 been declared | Assistance from Abroad—Arkansas Suffering.

FINANCIAL CRISIS.
Iby Prince Bismarck against tho Roman Catho
lic Church might induce the Italian govern
ment to proceed with more energy than it has
hitherto done against tho Pope and the Church
in Italy. His endeavors have completely
failed so far as Prussia is concerned, for it
is now quite decided that the King will go to
Berlin, and during his stay ut Vienna
he will have an opportunity of convincing
himself that Austria is now guided solely by
a policy of interest, that she is equally friend
ly with all her neighbors and that she has
completely broken with the Utramonteanes.
All the facts relative to the policy of Prussia
in 18GG have long been known to the Vienna
Government, so that General La Marmora’s
book does not furnish it with any information
on that subject whiclYit has not already pos
sessed. It is well known that when Count
Beust was yet Miuister of Saxony he was
kept fully informed, thanks to his numerous

of Foreign Affairs in Austria, iu which

That policy has been strictly adhered to by
his successor, and, as the interests of Austria
are in no way touched upon in General La
Marmora’s book, the sovereigns of Itally and
Prussia will be received at Vienna with just as
much cordiallity after its publication as they
