A« might be expected, “The Organ” of
Broad street br.s indulged in some Delphic
utterances concerning the troubles in the
Democratic ranks. It is so bewildered with
uncertainty os to what the result will De, that
it is unable to give expression to a coherent
or intelligent sentence. Afraid to mouht a
fence, it ia now trying to keep on both sides
of the fence at one and the same time, and to
make both parties believe it in full unison
with each. Janus-like, it turns a favorable
face to tho friends of the delegate system and
to the supporters of the ward nomination
system.
Of all the editorials we have read for some
time past, the one on “The Municipal Elec
tion" is about the most absurd thing that has
cbme under our notice. Not long ago Harris,
of the Savannah News, very wittily intimated
that the “Organ" understood everything but
the English language and its forms of con
struction. If he will odIj read tho stuff in
dulged in about “despotism of demagogue
trickery," and the “oscillation of public opin
ion,” he will be confirmed in the belief that
Damphoolery is rampant in the “Organ’s” es
tablishment.
To pick from out of all the rubbish of
words indulged in by the “Organ” some idea
of what its position is, is to reduce its views
as follows: •
It holds that both methods of making nomi
nations are open to the “license of mob rule
or the despotism of demagogue trickery,” but
for heaven's sake let there be harmony, and
let everybody bear in mind that the “Organ”
is always a candidate for City Printer.
It further holds that unless the matter is

banquet at the house ot the President, and
invited Boggs to attend it. Boggs haughtily
consented, and foolishly, as it turned out
for him ; for, under the glare of the parlor
gaslights, in the intoxication of the banquet
and the dance, in the bewilderment of wo
men's smiles and caresses, the poor fellow
lost bis head, and actually traded with the
Directors on tho basis of half and half. It
was not altogether fatal, however. For when
tho trade was made, tho President of the
Bank approaching our hero, leading his eld
est daughter with him, placed her hand in his,
patted them both on the head, and says,
••Take her, Boggs, and be happy! You have

Now, whether Murk Twain waa responsible
for the picture, whose sabstanco we have
given above, or not, there is a great deal of
truth in it* satire; and \t is aimed at a big
and a growing evil,
The most casual newspaper reader has
noticed daiiy accounts of defalcations, one
issue of a paper sometimes notices of a half
dozen bank robberies or forgeries, or wood
binings, and nearly all of them have this
statement affixed, “The friends of the de
faulter have made tho acconnt good, and tho
matter wtll be dropped.” The truth is, the
internal love of greed prevails to such an ex
tent that when a man was robbed or defaulted
out of $100,000 he would gladly drop all
prosecution if $75,000 was returned to him.
The system of “A reward of one-fourth of the
amount will be paid for tho return of the
money, and noques!ions asked” had grown to
such an extent that stealing was actually
about the safest business that a man could
venture in.
At last, however, it has received a whole
some check from “Lawrence Brothers, bank
ers,” in New York, whose clerk defaulted,
carrying $25,000 with him. His friends and
relatives offered to pay Messrs. Lawrence tho
whole sum of the defalcation at once if they
would stop the prosecution.
“No,” says these good men, “the prosecu
tion must go on ! It would be better for ns
to lose the whole $25,000 than that such a
rascal should go unpunished.”
These are noble words, nnd we commend
them to the attention of some gentlemen this
side of New York. A word to the \vi60 tnay

Last spring the Herald published a circu
lar which was issued by Colonel Goldsmith
to the tax-roceivers, in which he called atten

ple had to bear, growing out of the dishon
esty or carelessness in which the tax returns
were made. That he knew of certain cases
where one man returned his land at twenty-
five dollars per acre, and the man living on
an adjoining lot returned his at two dollars.
Colonel Goldsmith stated to the tax-receivers
that it was their duty to see that this evil was
corrected, or it would become necessary to
have an assessing board appointed to correct
it. The Herai.d predicted then that this cir

THE CRANGKS AND TIIK COTTON

We publish this morning the proceedings
of a Grange in Monroe county, calling atten-
of tho other Granges ot the State to this sub
ject. It certainly is a very important one,
and we hope it will be taken up not only by
every other Grange in Georgia, but also by
every Grange in the South and in the United
States. The refunding of this tax would be
nothing but simple justice to tho farmers of
the South, and we hope their brother farmers
of the North and West will
unite with them in obtaining

That much we insist upon ! j officers then, in d«npiir, gave a l.uudsome
mass meeting this evening. We do not see
that any advocacy of a mass meeting, or, in
deed, auy mass meeting at all, is necessary
to effect the change. If these gentlemen are
sincere in their declarations of a rediness to
accept lire delegate system tbe} r can easily
get their wards to hold meetings, postpone
the day lor nominating and older an election
for delegates to a city convention of the
Democracy. •
The Herald is not opposed to the mass
meeting If the Democracy desire to hold
one this evening, let them hold it, and we
trust it will result in harmonizing conflicting
views. But we repeat tbat unless the object
of the proposed meeting is to order the dele
gate system, it will scarcely effect any good.
Nothing eau be more clear and emphatic than
the position taken by those who are opposed
to the present (-yat-m. I hey have pledged
themselves to abide the action of a t'ouven-
Itiiuu, I shall not enter, lie has heretofore
shown himself quite competent to his own
defense.
What I invite your attention to, is the at
tempt, by a side wind, to reflect upon the
Merchants and Planters National Bank iu
that connection. That bank hud no
more interest in the transactions
to which you allude, than you had. Yet,
while commenting upon them, you travel out
of tho record to say that Mr. Braucb is the
cashier of the Merchants and Planters Bank
of Augusta, and in that connection that the
bank suspended a few days after his individual
operations in State bonds, to which you re
ferred. Mr. Branch is not, and never was the
cashier of that bank, though be is a stock
holder and prominent director.
I cannot see the canne tion between bis
outside operations aud the bank, nor cau I
divine your motive lor lugging tbe bauk in
tbe controversy. This, I must say, in view of
the recent past, I regard as particularly un
just. If you are ignorant of the action of this
bauk, through its direction, aud through me
as its president, and of my individual efforts
duriug the summer to aid the State in placing
her 8 per ceut. bonds, I refer you to Golonel
Sneed, the special agent of his Excellency.
As you have chosen to refer to the sus
pension of this bank, I deem it proper
to say, upon my own judgment, and upon
higher authority, that not only the depository
but the stockholders of this bank are perfect
ly safe.

To the Editors of the Herald;
Gentlemen—Your statement in tbv- Herald
of yesterday, that every candidate who
signed the invitation lor a mass meeting to
settle th*» differences of the party, is in favor
of “ward nominations,” is incorrect.
I eisr.ed the call because I considered it
the only means offered to quiet a quarrel in
the party. So far as I am concerned, I have
always been iu favor of the delegate system
which effers the least objectionable features,
in the mutter of nominations. There is no
thing perfect iu human government. This is
an instance.
That, itself, is not exactly what is desira
ble, because it gives room for those very
“rings” about which the IIehald has spoken,
and so rightly about. For instance, in your
paper is published a ticket, with Mr. Leyden,
a good man, at the head, and against whom,
perhaps, nobody has objected. A good tick
et; but is that not a “ring?’ What do you
mean b}’a “ring V ’ If yon wish to avoid all
“rings,” the only way is to let every man who
wishes to announce himself a candidate
do so, and let tbe people choose. Bat
unfortunately for us the result would be what ?
Simply the possible accession of negroes to
our municipality. This, of course, must and
shall be avoided. We have tried that experi
ment and found it wanting.
Now, there is a discrepancy in our ranks
about the mode of nomination. We must do
somethin?, and that something must be done
at once. We do not want Radicals or negroes
in office. There is a call, whether
it bo right or wrong, for a mass meeting on a
certain day to ascertain the wishes of the (
Democratic party on this subject, it is im-
pcssibh fur me to improvise a bethr means ot j
arriving at the desire of the party. 1 sigu the
call, not because I am a cat didate, but be
cause I desire h irmony iu tue party. 1 would
like to see the delegate sjhtun adopted, but I
wou'd prefer to see the other system prevail
than to see tbe party disrupted.
