Secretary and Treasurer—J. B. Huff.
One of the merchants said to an Enquirer-Sun
reporter yesterday evening: ‘‘The object of the
association, briefly stated, is to protect the mer
chants against those who retail goods without
paving the same taxes that the merchants have

There is no doubt that the organization grew
t .'it of the recent trubles with some of the brokers.

-Special to the Enquirer-Sun.
Talbotton, Ga., June 7.—The Talbot county
executive committee met to-day, and appointed
the 17th of July as the day, and primaries the
mode of electing delegates to the gubernatorial
and congressional conventions. The ballot will
l»e cast directly for the candidates. Senator for
the 25th senatorial district and representatives
will be nominated at the same time, and in the
same manner. Put Talbot down for Grimes. Do
not believe he will have any opposition to amount
to anything. Talbot is enthusiastic for Musco

to his candidacy.

A DEMAND FOR MONEY.
The Most Notable Feature of the Country’s Busi
ness During the Past Reek.
New York, June 6.—Special telegrams
to Brads t reel’s do not show any marked
change as to the condition of general trade.
At tbe principal eastern cities, while the
volume of business is somewhat large, it
continues of a hand-to-mouth description.
One less business da#’ within the week
helped to reduce the total volume of
transactions. At Cincinnati, Omaha, Mil
waukee and Louisville, there is reported a
distinct gain in the distribution of mer
chandise. At these points, also, there is an
improved demand for funds, particularly
at the more northern cities named, money
going to the interior to pay for producing.
Owing to rains in Texas, there is a better
feeling among merchants there, and at St.
Louis there is slightly more activity in
some lines, witli increased demand for
funds.
jail is kept in a proper condition, and will
compare favorably with any other in the state.
The chain-gang jail is not only very dark, but
very badly ventilated. On a bright day we c mid
not see the inmates, and the only case of sickness
we found mere, we think, is due to the foul air.
The overseer's quarters are neat and clean. The
property belonging to this service consists of five
mules, five carts, one Boss road machine, one ex
tra scraper, and a full supply of shovels, picks,etc.
We recommend the substitution of an iron in
stead of the present wood partition and such
other alterations ns may add to the comfort of
the inmates.
In the county jail is confined a lunatic, returned
by the state asylum as harmless and incurable.
We recommend that he lie sent to the county
poor bourse.
We exained the fail record of prisoners, and
find same properly kept.
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
The best information that we can get from the
county commissioners and others is that the pub
lic roads and bridges throughout the county are
in good condition.
POOR HOUSE.
The poor house is well situated sanitarily, water
excellent. The cottages comfortably built, with
garden attached to each one. Premises kept in a
cleanly condition, with 53 inmates—34 whites and
19 blacks. A kindly relation exists between them
and the keeper, Mr. Ramsey. There is 40 acres of
land under cultivation. The stock consists of I
milch cows, 2 dry cows, and 2 mules; the latter
old, and should be replaced with others more
serviceable. Two more buildings arc- necessary,
which should he built at once, as the negro quar
ters are now over-crowded. The annual appro
priation is $5000, for the 8 months; there has been
expended $2978.81, leaving on hand $2021.19 for
the balance of the fiscal year. The treasurer’s
books we find neatly and accurately kept, and
the vouchers correct.
COUNTY SCHOOLS.
N. G. Oatis, county school commissioner, re
ports that for the 6 months in 1885, he had 20
white schools, with an attendance of 667 pupils,
and 25 colored schools. 1221 pupils. The term of
office of E. P. Willis, in Steam Mills district, nnd
8. N. Parson, in Edwards’ district, having
expired, we have appointed Mr. M. M. Bowden
an successor to Mr. Willis and Mr. R. B. Spelling's
to succeed Mr. Parsons. We have examined his
books and vouchers and report same correct. We
find he had—

CITY COURT.

committee gives a -brief sketch of the form
of government of the various tribes, from
the Pottawatomie t • til" Uhcrokee. and of

plan of mir state governments, nnd Ins de
veloped into a high type of republican gov-

.searching criticism, to fmint out any seri
ous den eis in their constitution or stat utes.
Ill some respects several of our state consti
tutions could be amended to advantage by
appending some of the provisions of the
Cherokee constitution.
“Four of these five commonwealths,’’
the committee says, “are well prepared to
take their place among the states of the
union. If they were all united under one
constitution, they could be admitted into
the union as a state without any danger of
disturbing tin? harmony of the great sister
hood of American states, or of derogating
from the honor or welfare of the federal
government. The time is near at hand
when their interests and ours will require
t hat tliis further step must be taken, and
our policy in dealing with these
people should now be carefully
adapted to this result. They have
advanced nearly as far as they can go with
out a helping hand from the United States.
Their relations to the general government
should be such us to sustain and encourage
their noble efforts to accomplish their
great task. At present our plan of dealing
with them, which was proper and useful
while they were building up, is repressive
and injurious to thrill. We cannot afford
either to chuck their progress or to permit
our people to go ’ti upon them and sup
plant them in the control of their own
government. *

watchfully chaperoned in the French
style comment most on the bride and
groom being left to wander down stairs
alone and be married without any attend
ants and assistants, no one to vouch for
them as it were. Ritualists are aghast at
the service used to unite them, and Ro
manists study the form and phrases close
ly. Men and women both condemn the
groom for not kissing the bride, and deride
his excuse given one of the cabinet ladies
that he was afraid all the other men would
follow his example. Fluent after-dinner
speakers grieve at the chance that the
president let go by of making an immortal
speech in responding to Secretary Whit
ney's toast of the bride’s health. When
the secretary had proposed that lady’s
welfare the bridegroom drank his cham
pagne, looked around smilingly and said
nothing.
THE riACK-DOOP. EXIT ORITICISED.
As the gates to the grounds were not
closed, hundreds of people had gathered
on the portico and in front of the house to
see the outward signs of the wedding and .
to cheer the couple on their way. Yet in- I Delmonico’s when two ladies dropped into

in every way lawful, as far as they do not
violate the constitution of the United
States, and should continue under their
own control.”
The committee recommends the crea
tion of two divisions in 1 he western judicial
district of Arkansas, and the establishment
of a court at or near the railroad which
extends through the territory.
“The placing of enlightened Indians on
the jury in the Federal courts,” the com
mittee says, “would be the first distinct
recognition ol'their capacity to exert the
duties of citizenship in the United States in
the enforcement of the laws, and would
inspire them with an earnest zeal in sup
port of the authority of the government.”
Regarding the condition of the freedmon
in Indian territory, the committee says
that while there has been complaints of
violations of these rights under the treaty,
the government having manifested a de
termination to secure the full measure of
their rights, they are in a fair way to de
velop into respectable citizens of their re
spective nations. ^

A New Yorker says: “I wils sitting in

ill intentions toward the bridal pair, who
for as long as they live in the white house
will be a subject of interest and scrutiny.

go. and they are free to roam unmolested.
While they are in it something is due to
the dignity of the position.

It is ft comfortable feeling to believe that
we in Richmond arc protected from the
fury of the hurricane and cyclone, by our
situation on the “geodistic ridge.” which
extends from east to west through central
Indiana. But when a storm leaves such
destruction in its path as that which passed
a few miles south of us lately we can not
but believe the “ bridge” is an exceedingly

only moderately active. The tone of
the market is better. Stocks arc light,

prices less in buyers’ favor, in harmony

Bradstreet’s cotton report points to a
total acreage of 17,3fU,!tOO acres, against
17,920,900 acres a year ago. The stands

The wheat markets, after continuing the
severe decline of last week well into this,
switched about, and an active upward
movement has begun, scoring a gain of 3.7
from the lowest, and closing with No. 2

have refused to follow,believing apparently
that light stocks in all leading importing
and exporting countries are largely offset
by a fair harvest already reaped 111 the
Indies and a prospective large crop here.
The good beet crop reports and a pressure
to sell cane sugar in London have caused a
