Death of Thad.S. Stoy.
We learn, from the Atlanta Intelligencer,
the death of Mr. Thad. S. Stoy, which
occurred at Stone Mountain, on the 3d
instant, in the fifty-eighth year of his age.
The deceased was an old citizen of Atlanta,
and for mady years was an employee of the
Intelligencer, being at the head of its book
binding department —an art in which ho
excelled, and in which he was ever faithful
to trusts confided in him. Honest and in*
dustrious. his life was one of labor, till
disease prostrated him, when he laid down
to die. His many relatives and friends in
this city and in Atlanta will long cherish
his memory

These are simple and easily made. To
one pound of flour add six ounces of good
sugar ; have three-fourths pound of lard or
butter melted, and two eggs well beaten ;
mix the lard and eggs together, and stir in
the flour to form a paste ; and about eight
drops of the essence of lemon; roll out into
thin cakes, and bake in a moderately heated
oven.
Privileges of Newspapers.
In a recent trial in the Court of Queen’s
Bench, in London, England, the Chief Jus
tice decided that a fair and impartial report
of the proceedings of a court of justice,
although, as incidental to them, it may em
body matter defamatory to au individual, is,
nevertheless, privileged and protected ; the
public interest and advantage in having the
reports published preponderating so much
over the inconvenience to individuals, as to
justify the sacrifice of private convenience to
the public good. ,
The Unemployed•
The most casual observer can uot but be
struck with the spectacle, which everywhere
meets his eye, of crowds of stalwart laborers
who are loitering about the streets, from day
today, in the vain search of employment.
It is painful to listen to the appeals of this
class for a sufficient amount of work to
enable them to procure their next meal,
and be obliged to confess that we can refer
them to no source whence their hunger and
that of their families can be relieved.
Compulsory idleness on the part of our
laboring population is every day becoming
more serious. The wretchedness which
must follow this want of occupation may be
more easily imagined than portrayed. If
employment be not speedily furnished these
laborers, we shall have to take care of many
of them in our eleemosynary institutions, or
they will come to a worse fate. It will be
cheaper and better, in every way, to provide
work for those who are able and willing to
labor, than to have them become burden
some to society.
Private individuals seem not to be
anxious to embark into new enterprises, or
even to complete their present undertakings,
because of the unsettled state of the financial
K market, and the still more disturbed state of
* the politics of the country. They are post
poning everything to the time when our
political and industrial affairs shall assume a
better aspect. Meanwhile the condition of
the poor is growing worse and worse.
Under such a state of things, it becomes
the imperative duty of our municipal
government to prosecute with vigor all the
improvements which are needed for the
development of our city, so far as means can
be provided to pay the workmen. Os course
we shall be told that-business is dull, and
that the city authorities ought to emulate the
example of our merchants, manufacturers,
and mechanics, who are relying upon
economy, rather than industry, to carry them
through the present crisis. But we, as a
City, are governed by different considera
tions. There are certain matters which in
future will redound to our benefit; these are
known to the municipal authorities, and we
trust that prompt measures will at once be
taken to supply the laboring population with
work.

TO EMPIRE STATE INSURANCE
,4 company.
Ma. Editor —The reply of “Stockholder”
to “Citizen,” in your paper, this morning, is
very far from satisfying the public as to the
true condition of the Empire State Insurance
Company. “Stockholder” says: “The Con
stitutionalist did not havb room in theirpaper
to give all the particulars of this statement,”
meaning the statement of the assets of the
Company. This is very strange 1 Not room
to publish that part of the report in which
the public has the deepest interest —their
means to pay losses l The Constitutionalist
had room to publish, as a part of the assets
of the Company, viz:
Georgia State Bonds $6,000.00
Greenville A Columbia R. It. Bonds... 62,765.00
South Carolina Railroad Bonds 10,500.00
It would have required but a small addi
tional space in the Constitutionalist to have
given the public the items of “other railroad
bonds, $12,000,” and “other State bonds,
$50,050.” The Greenville and Columbia
Railroad bonds, of which there are $62,705,
have sold at forty cents, reducing the market
value of this item to $25,100. When “Stock,
holder” publishes the other items of the
large amounts of “other State bonds,
$50,050,” and “other railroad, bonds,
$12,000,” the pablic can judge of their
market value, and of the means of the
Company to pay losses. The item of “bills
receivable, $146,086.95,” “Stockholder” in
forms us, are unpaid notes of subscribers to
the stock. The public can judge of the
value of such assets to pay losses.
As to keeping premiums at home or
sending them to other parts of the country,
this depends entirely on circumstances. —
All other things being equal it would be
best to keep them at home, but we all
know the results of the war—how our Bank
stocks, Insurance stocks and other Southern
securities were affected by it, many of them
being without any market value whatever.
The first inquiry made by persons wishing
insurance should be, is the Company re
sposible ? and to determine must
not only know their boards of directors and
agents to be honest men, but they should
also know if the Companies have such assets
as will enable them to pay their losses
promptly. It ss well known that two of our
Southern Companies, whose premiums were
“kept at home,” have recently closed their
insurance business and withdrawn their
agencies from this city. The public can judge
and will judge for themselves, whether it is
best to insure in Companies whose assets
are in United States bonds and other se
curities that will command a premium in all
our large cities, or in those Companies whose
assets are in Greenville & Columbia railroad
bonds, worth forty cents to the dollar, or
other nameless Railroad and State bonds,
and unpaid notes of stockholders. We have
recently seen the published statement of
the /Etna Insurance Company, of Hartford,
made to the stockholders, January Ist, 1868,
in which their assets are given at par value,
$3,664,100, and market value $4,833,543.
When the Empire State Insurance Company
can make as satisfactory an exhibit of their
assets, we will advise our citizens to keep
their “premiums at home.” Citizen.

THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.
Atlanta, Ga., July 8, 1868.
The Senate met pursuant to adjournment,
and was called to order by the President.
Prayer by Rev. Mr, Smith, Senator from
the 7th District.
The roll was called.
The journal of 'yesterday was read and
confirmed.
The rules for the Government of the Sen
ate came up for adoption, and after some
discussion, were adopted as a whole.
Mr. Wallace moved that all questions not
decided by the rules- adopted, should be
determined by Cushing’s Manual.
The motion was put and carried.
Mr. Winn moved that the Senate postpone
action on nominations by the Governor for
three days. Lost.
Mr. Hungerford reported n resolution pro
viding for the appointment of a committee to
enquire into the eligibility of the Hon. W.
T. Winn, Seuator elect from the 35th Sena
torial District.
Several amendments and substitutes were
offered, and considerable discussion ensued,
but without action on the resolution, the
Senate adjourned to 10 o’clock to morrow.
HOUSE.
IJThe House met pursuant to adjournment,
and was called to order by the Speaker.
•Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Neal.
The roll was called.
The minutes of yesterday’s proceedings
were read, and after some slight amend
ments, confirmed.
Mr. Crawford, of Cass, suggested a point
of order with regard to the swearing in of
members by the Speaker, stating that the
new code of Georgia directs that they be
sworn in by a Judge of the Supreme or
Superior Court. The Speaker slated that it
had been the custom heretofore for the
Speaker to qualify members who appear
after the organization of the House, still,
he had no objection to allowing the mem
bers'who bad been qualified by him to be
re-sworn by a Judge of some court. It was
here discovered that Judge Speer was in
the gallery, and he wai invited to qualify
those members who were sworn by the
Speaker heretofore, together with those who
may have arrived since yesterday. They
appeared and were duly qualified by Judge
Speer.
Mr. Tweedy, from, the committee ap
pointed to wait upon the Governor, reported
that the committee had performed that duty,
and the Goyurnor informed the committee
that, so soon as he should consult with the
commanding General, he would be prepared
to communicate with the General .Assem
bly.
Mr. Turnipseed reported a resolution that
members and ex-members ot Congress, and
Judges and ex-judges of the Supreme and
Superior Courts, be invited to seats on the
floor of the House.
Mr. Bell reported a resolution that a com
mittee be appointed to arrange for the Open
ings of the sessions of this House .with
prayer. Adopted.
Mr. Turuipseed reported a resolution that
one copy of the Constitution of the State of
Georgia, together with the acts and journals
ot the last Legislature, be furnished to each
member of the House. Adopted.
Upon inquiry it was found that the above
documents were not in the city, and Mr. L.
Carrington was appointed as a messenger to
Milledgeville to procure them.
Mr. Hall moved that the left baud side of
the gallery be set apart for the accommoda
tion of ladies and gentlemen accompanying
them.
On motion, the House adjourned to ten
o’clock to morrow morning. .

Query.
The cold weather last Spring was ac
counted for on the theory that the Gulf
Stream had receded a hundred miles or more
to the Eastward. Will some one who knows
please inform us whether the heat of the last
three or four days is owing to the return of
the great ocean river to its usual courses ;
and if so, whether it will come much nearer
in shore ? A 1 - “ny rate, the fear that we had
permanently lost the beneficent influence of
the stream, and were doomed to see the
olimate of Labrador extending down our
coast, need worry no one for the present.
[From our own Correspondent.
OUR ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlanta, Ga., July 8, 1868.
Nr. Editor: Another day of the Georgia
■ Legislature has closed its session, and but
little has been done. In fact, this is but a
necessary sequence of the disordered times
upon which we have fallen. Ob, that wo
could be reconstructed, and go to work as
in the good old days of yore ! Apropos to
this remark, there are rumors rife bn the
streets that there will be measures insti
tuted at an early day to purge the two
Houses; in other words, to oust all who
can not take the oath in the terms of the
Reconstructions acts. By a reference to
the published proceedings had in the
Senate to day (we refer your readers to the
published details of* proceedings, to be
found in the Atlanta dailies), it will be
seen that the attention of the Senate has
been occupied this entire day hi considera
tion es the case of Hon. A, A. Bradley,
which case, it will be recollected, I spoke
of on yesterday. The case was finally
referred to the Committee on Privileges
and Elections.
The House did nothing but pass a few
unimportant resolutions, which have but
little legal or political significance, and
would be totally indifferent to you or your
readers.
The response Os Gov. Bullock to the Joint
Committee appointed to wait on him and
inform him that both Houses were organ
ized and ready to receive any communica
tion which he might have to make, was re
ceived, and simply siateS that he will com
municate so soon as he has fully conferred
with the Military authorities.
I hear of no new moves on the political
chess boards. The Republicans seem de
termined to elect Gov. Brown to the Senate,
and the Democrats seem equally determin
ed to defeat him. In what it may eventuate
no one knows, but if I am not mistaken,
and I do not think I am, the Republicans
can have it as they please.
The weather is extremely hot. Atlanta
is notorious for tall houses, and the reflection
of the sun from these is such as to render
the streets powerfully hot, and Old Sol does
not spare us a particle. Perspiration-proof
collars can’t stand the pressure.
I have just heard that Col. B. B. deGraf
fenried, of Milledgeville, is to be one of
Gov, Bullock's Secretaries. Baldwin.

grain.
In view of the increase in the yield of wheat
throughout the country, it is estimated by the
Department of Agriculture at 20 per eent.,
which is probably far within the actual increase.
The probable market value is a question of deep
interest and to arrive at any intelligent conclu
sion, the condition of the crop in foreigu eoun
tries must bo taken into consideration. There
again we find an unusal prolific season in all the
wheal growing countries of Europe from which
we have any accounts, so that we must count
upon a largely decreased foreign demand, unless
prices should fall low enough to cause a material
increase in consumption. The world’s crop of
wheat io 1867 was doubtless under estimated,
and prices ruled higher than they would have
done if the extent of the crop had been known,
A clear indication of this is the increase of
imports in Great Britain, according to tho London
correspondent of Financial Chronicle, of 8,000,-
000 cwt., or nearly fifteen million bushels, and a
decline within tho last three months of nearly 35
per cent. These immense imports, which are
said to exceed tho consumption, must leave
stocks on hand at tho time when new wheat will
Come into market considerably in excess of the
corresponding time last year. In France a sim
ilar state of the market exists, although the sur
plus old wheat is not probably as large. In the
leading grain markets in this country stocks of
wheat are largely in excess of the amount at this
date last year. In New York there are 270,000,
and in Chicago 365,000 bushels more; so that
the crop this year does not come upon a bare
market, although it does find much smaller
stocks than in most firmer years, but tho policy
of carrying over large stocks of grain from one
year to another is becoming modified year by
year, as the facilities of transportation increase,
and more especially when prices rule so far
above the average cost of production as during
the past three or four years.
financial.
The New York bank statement shows that
money still continues to accumulate there, but
the large increase in 6epos'll? is doubtless owing
in a great measure to the heavy disbursements
:by the Government, while the legal reserve,
including specie, is so much in excess of the 25
per eent. required, that the banks can extend
their loans still more. The following is tho
statement showing tho amountof each item with
the variations from tho last statement:
L0an55281,941,931 Increasess,44l,o9l
Specie 11,954,950 Increase...... 4,201,430
Circulation.. 34,032,466 Decrease ... ■ 16,255
Deposits 215,050,806 Increase...... 6,748,594
L’glTcnders 72,125,937 Decrease 1,727,369
The most significant feature in this is the de
crease in the plain legal tenders, some consider
able amount of which has been sent West. The
deposits are now nearly $35,000,000 in excess of
last year at this time, and the loans show an
increase of a little more than this amount. New
York has now nearly one half of the circulation
of the country, principally loaned out in stocks
and bonds, and a large part of this will be
wa ted at the West much earlier this season
than usual.

Novelty in Locomotives.
■ A hew locomotive ear for street or steam
railways is announced. It is said to solve
a very difficult problem iu railway mechan
ics. Driving wheels are dispensed with,
motion being communicated direct from
the piston in the cylinder to the wheels of
the truck, by means of “paralied rods.’
In case of the circular- movement of the
truck, boiler, engine, and all connected
therewith, revolve. One of these cars has
been running for nearly two years on the
Stoughton branch of the Boston and Provi
dence railroad. The cost of one capable of
seating sixty persons, more or loss, is $lO.-
000. Among its other considerable qualities
for street use, it is said that it will not
frighten horsss, or make objectionable noise,
more than horse cars ; that the machinery
is out of view, there being no ioothed gears
bell or whistle, and no puffing noise, or
visible escape of the ejhaqst steam.
