INCREASED BANKING CAPITAL.
The inability of our merchants and
farmers this season to secure money,
even on the very best of collateral,
has demonstrated the pressing fact
that'Athens needs either more banks,
or an'increase of capital In the insti-
tutivranow established in the city. It
is true that this fall has been an unu
sual -one. Cotton could not be shipped
for a time, while many planters saw
fit to.held their crop for the contem
plated advance in price. So the lim
ited cash ourbant^s have at their com
mand has been exhausted, and right
in the midst of the business season our
city finds its trade almost brought to
a stand-still by something that verges
nearly on to a panic, or at least a
money blockade. Thus far our busi
ness men, through extraordinary ex
ertions, have been enabled to stem the
tide and keep the wheels of commerce
goin&. ; Now, to prevent a recurrence
of tide trouble it behooves our mer
chants to take some steps toward
bringing into our midst the necessary
banking capital to transact the busi
ness, of the place and meet every
emergency. At the North there are
millions of money seeking a profitable
investment, and enough of this can
be easily turned into the commercial
channels of Athens to answer every
purpose. To attract trade to a city you
must have every convenience; and
nothing is more necessary than suffi
cient money at hand to meet ail de
mands- Men with the most solvent
bonds iiave been refused upon them
a dollar—the banks affirming that
their means are exhausted. Several
of our leading merchants have asked
and been granted an extension of ac
count*—they at the same time having
plenty of cotton on hand but were un
able to raise funds thereon. But hap
pily the gallant merchants ofourcity,
through sacrifices and by strenuous
work, will be able to shield their cus
tomers from the efforts of this unnec
essary financial blockade; but to do
so required that individuals perform
a class, of labor for which banks are
organized and paid. We hope that
this season’s experience will learn the
business men of Athens a lesson, and
that some steps will be taken to or
ganize a banking system in our city
that a little freight blockade can’t un
dermine and bankrupt.
In the above we do not intend any
reflection upon the management or
solvency of the two excellent banking
institutions we have in the city. In
justice to them we will state that they
strained every nerve to accommodate
their patrons. But their capital was
altogether inadequate to meet the in
creased business of Athens, and our
intention is to urge the vital impor
tance of their increasing their stock
or establish other banks.
GARFIELD'S FUNERAL EXPENSES.
We see a number of our Southern
papers are urging the justice of Con
gress taking upon itself the expense
of our late President’s sickness, and
appropriating money from the public
treasury to pay all debts accruing
therefrom. Now we think this is mis
applied philanthropy. The South is
in no way responsible for President
Garfield’s assassination, for had he
obeyed the behest of their votes this
eminent gentleman would to-day be
safely ensconsed on his Menlo farm.
And again, Mrs. Garfield is far
from being left a pauper, and is fully
aide to meet those claims. If private
citizens ut the North or elsewhere see
fit to make appropriations for this
purpose we have naught to say; but
when it comes to a people being taxed
for a purpose in which they are no
wise interested or will he benefited, as
an humble journalist we enter our
protest. There is entirely too much
sycophancy manifested by the South
ern press since the war. They ate
constantly agitating schemes to ex
tract money from the people and give
It to some prominent Repiblican pau
per at the North or their descendants.
You never hear them chirp about ap
propriating government' money to
some needy ex-Confederatc; and well
they may keep silent on that score.
Now our observation has been that
the generality of Northern Republican
office-holders don’t need a vote of
Congress when they want an “appro
priation.” So we ore in favor of lock
ing the vaults of the public treasury
against all depredations that can be
prevented. It is a waste of sympathy
for our people to shower tears of com
miseration upon such mendicants as
Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Garfield and
others we might name. There is no
danger of them ever suffering not only
for the necessaries, but even luxuries
of life. Rather let us keep a vigilant
eye upon the doors of the treasury,
that taxation may be lessened, and
give ail the spare change and sympa
thy we can spare to those poor boys
who lost an arm or leg battling for the
Lost Cause, and to the impoverished
families of men who sleep in unmark
ed and neglected graves from one end
of our late Confederacy to the other.
A NECESSARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The Washington correspondent of
the Southern Banner,'in last week’s is
sue, with a great flourish of trumpets,
announces to a skeptical constituency
the fact that Mr. Speer voted for the
straight-out Democratic candidate for
Speaker. Now we would like to ask,
if Mr.. Speer is the Democrat his
friends claim him to be, why is it that
they are so particular and careful to
announce the fact when he acts with
the Democrats in Congress? There is
something suspicious in this, at least
Our idea of a representative of the
Democracy is a man who stands sol
emnly pledged to bis people to work
for their interest and vote for the hon
or of his party and the prosperity of
his section—a man whose actions are
beyond question, and whose every
vote it is not necessary to report
Hqn. Charles Ttobinson, a Kansas
temperance advocate, states that the
prohibitory liquor legislation of the
Kansas legislature has had the effect
of increasing the amount of whisky
drinking, and he advises the temper
ance people in other States not to con
tribute to the fnnd of $50,000 to be used
to enforce the law. He says the mon
ey will be used for political and selfish
purposes.

A MONSTROSITY.
We clip the following from the Wal
ton county Vidette:
Dr. J. I. Robinson passed through
this place on Tuesday last ep route for
Atlanta, to place on exhibition there
before the faculty of the Southern Med
ical College, the dead body of a white
male child, born on that day, in this
county, which we were permitted to
see and examine, and which for re
markableness surpassed anything any
of the medical fraternity ever saw or
read of, and which will produce a sen
sation and great wonder among the
medical men wherever it is seen. The
head, from the eyes up, was a huge
soft sack, without bones, filled with
brain matter, Attached to one side of
this sack was an ear much like that of
an elephant., Below this on the side
of the head, ip its proper place, was a
fully developed.buman ear. One eye
was almost as large as an ox’s eye
and had no lids. The mouth was hair
lipped and had no upper lip. The
heart, lungs, liver, stomach, bowels,
and other intestines had all grown
and were attached to the outside of
Ihe body, to the right side in front,
and were fully developed. The fin
gers were webbed like a duck’s foot,
and were strongly tied together near
their ends by a strong cord about the
size of a fine silk thread. The toes on
both feet were similarly tied, and the
large toe on one foot was out entirely
off and had adhered to the next one to
it, and having cut half off the next
two toes. There was nothing on the
inside of the body, (the entrails being
attached to the outside,) and no open
ing for the heart, lungs, stomach, etc;,
to have ever gotten to their present
position, had they ever been on the
inside of the body.
