Watt. Y.ce President-J. H. Gabriel. 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 lo pay." There is no doubt that the organization grew t .'it of the recent trubles with some of the brokers.

The Event 1 vo Committee Orders a Primary Elec tion- Old Talbot Solid for Muscogee's Talented Son. -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 gee’s talented son. Every day adds more strength to his candidacy.

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— On hand May 1. 1885 $4,036 88 Received since from state appropriation . 2,099 00 Poll tax, 1885 " 1,775 97 $7,911 85 Disbursed— Paid teachers Commissioners’ salary..

Tbo committee gives a -brief sketch of the form of government of the various tribes, from the Pottawatomie t • til" Uhcrokee. and of ti e Int.er, says that it is modeled upon tin plan of mir state governments, nnd Ins de veloped into a high type of republican gov- ••nu.u nt, and that it is difficult, after a .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. * “The best, inteivs’s of the live civili.’.ed tribes, and t lie welfare of t he United States, now require that they should he brought directly wit hin the just ami protecting in fluences of political and judicial powers of the United States as far as may be consist ent with their welfare and rights of local ions is remarkable.

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.
