_ THE WATCHMAN. PBIDAT, DEOEMBEB 16. LS81. SUBSCRIPTION, n so per year in advance. YANOEY. CRANFORD * GANTT PROP'RS. T. L. GANTT, Editor. 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. Mon4ay Mr. Frellnghuysen fTAS confirmed Secretory of State. Mr. James sent la his formal resignation as Postmaster General. — \ A. GENERAL HEWS. The Cotton Exposition is still boom ing. '*r M' A 'Bradstreet puts the total yield at 5,- 014,170 bales. A Mahone movement is impending in Mississippi.

Fully one-half of the wheat in many fields has been destroyed with in a few weeks. The largest cotton producer in the world is Mr. E. Richardson, of Miss issippi. He has 52,060 acres of land, and raised last season 12,000 bales of cotton. He extracts the ollfrom his cotton seed, obtaining 35 gallons from a ton, worth $12.25, while the cake sells for about$7 per ton. Great excitement prevails in Wil mington over the acquittal of a negro named Neal for a brutal outrage on a poor, defenseless ‘woman. The evi dence was of the most conclusive character and nobody expected any thing else but a verdict of guilty. The Shah of Persia fell violently in love with the Princess of Wales dur ing his visit to England some years ago, and about once a year makes a tempting offer to the Prince for her. His last proposition was to give him two of his best wives, his mother and his grandmother in exchange for Al exandra, but Wales still declined. Astonishing fertility is claimed for the soil of Colorado. A vegetable gar dener, who owns twenty acres of land near Canon City, is reported by the Denver Journal to have raised 80,000 head of cabbaae of the largest size up on his small tract. He shipped the greater part of this crop to Kansas City, and estimates his profits at over $10,000. The following remarkable item is from the West Tennessee Whig: The ways of Cupid are past finding out. Information has reached us that Stro ther, who killed W. H. Conner, in this city, some time since, hatfrecent ly married the daughter of the man he killed, at Union City, Tenn. Stro ther was tried for murder, and acquit ted on the gronnd of “acting in self- defence.” Texas is the most magnificent of American States. It has an area great er than that of Austria, Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britian and Ireland, Spain or Sweeden. It Is a lit tle larger then two Italys would be. It is behind none of these kingdoms and empires in the extent of its arable land and in the benignty of its cli mate. None of the territories of the United States from which new com monwealths may be formed are so large ss Texas with the exception of Alaska. _ 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.

The Atlanta Constitution says Pres ident Morehead, in his address before the Cotton Planters’ Association, took bold ground in favor of the old plan tation system, as opposed to the small farm policy. ✓ The Beliton North Goorgian has seen and talked with a reliable gen tleman who solemnly stated thatJ. Wilkes Booth was not dead. He sold he knew this positively of his own knowledge, and not only knew it, but knew where Booth was and how he was employed. The Americus Republican says that Hon. J. H.
