goods firms of New York was held yester
day afternoon, at which it was resolved that
they would sell no more goods to merchants
in the Southern States except for cash daring
the present season.’--'- 1 ***’ 1 *’
“This is very significant, action on the
part of the perspicacious business men of
the metrepolis, and tarnishes an example
which will undoubtedly bepromptlytolldwed
by all merchants dealing in whatever busi
ness with the Southerners. It shows ;that
the threats of another revolution in which
the Democratic .leaders haye so liberally in
dulged ; the continued anarchy in which the
rebelB have retained many of the Southern
States ; the persistent determination of Pres
ident' Johnson to prevent the loyal men from
governing the South, ancf revolutionary
speeches of Frank Biair and Southern .fire-
eaters who have taken their - cue from him,
are having their effect on loyal merchants at
the North;- who consider tjieir expensive
business interests, the preservation of-the
country and their financial security, of too
great value to be hazarded among a people
E aany of whom still owe largely on goods
old to them years ago, and who have shown
{that their loyalty to their obligation^ to; jhi
'country cannot be relied upon any more than
their loyalty to their obligations to their
fellow-merchants,”
As we supposed, the movement of the
“leading New York firms,” of which we had
telegraphic information a day or two since,
has been gotten up and is being used for po
litical effect. The Brooklyn Union is a ram
pant Radical organ, and whether or not, as
the Post supposes, it speaks by authority of
any respectable number of merchants, if is
very certain that it expresses the sentiments
of its party in reference to the Southern mer
chants and Southern people. As to the bad
faith ot Southern creditors, charged by the
Union, we feel confident that we oonld, if we
were to make the effort, obtain abundant tes
timony in New York to prove that the busi
ness men of no : section of the Union have
been more scrupulous in obser viug their con
tracts and in meeting their obligations than
the merchants of the South. ‘ If these “per
spicacious business men of the metropolis,”
whose fortunes have been built up by the
trade of the South, feel auy apprehension o‘f
“another revolution,” it is based on the con
viction in their own minds of the settled
purpose of the Radical party to proyoke
The South, with all her love of right and
justice, has no desire for war, nor can there
be any cause for revolution or strife except
in the lawless aggressions and usurpations
of the Radicals themselves. They have the
same ground for anticipating revolution that
the usurper, the thief and the pirate have for
expecting resistance from their intended vic
tims.
Bat the danger is not with the South alone.
If Radicalism attempts to carry out its pro ;
gramme of outrage and usurpation, it will
find resistance nearer ,’ home, and financial
troubles in their midst. . They will have

of the Savannah municipal bill, a question
has been sprang in the body involving the

■ was made ten
years ago, it was made not of a slave, but of
that the Speaker had decided that the par
ties- under trial shoutd first bar-heard, and
eligibility of the negroes , .who, .have
elected by . the .radical-negicr I - vote
coming out fnon among them.
By the article which-we publish this morn
ing from the Cathbert Appeal, it will be seen
that another elector has withdrawn bis name
from the Radical ticket. Judge E. N. Har
den, of Cathbert, has not only declined
to allow the use of bis name as a Grant elec
tor. bat has come ont decidedly in support of
Seymour and Blair. A few days ago Hon.
W- W. Boyd, of Dahlonegs, another nominee
on the Grant ticket, announced his intention
to support the Democratic candidates for
President and Vice-President. We have al
ready announced the refusal of Col. Aaron
Wilbur to be a candidate for elector on the
Radical ticket. Thns three gentlemen, one-
third of the whole number of electors on their
ticket, have repudiated their nomination.
We now call - upon the scalawag organs
who are now pillorying the names of those
- gentlemen Jinder-the editorial heads, in com-
jfcjjy with such characters as Bryant, Hlg-
^ bee, Farrow and others, to do them the sim
ple justice of withdrawing them from a po
sition -which they refase to occupy. If the
dKtoriTof those papers have no regard for
truth they should at least take care not to
lay themselves liable to^an action for defama
tion of character. It would be a nice ques
tion for a jury, the assessment of a jnst
amount of damages for parading a gentle
man’s name in large capitals as the elector

Charleston Courier has been favored by a
mercantile honse in that city, with the fol

Gainesville, (Alachua County, ) Fla., 1
Augnst 22, 1868. j
Gentlemen:—It is very distressing to ns
to be obliged to report to you the continued
ravages amongst the Sea Island plantations
all around of the caterpillar. Bit we must
say that the damage is on the increase, and
prospects of even half the crop we looked
for only a short month ago are now by no
means favorable. We have only on to-day
and yesterday seen quite a number of plant
ers who have been eaten clean over daring
the present week—not a green thing abso
lutely left iri the.cotton field—and this not
in a solitary instance, but in innumerable
ones.
The failures, owing to the caterpillar, is
fally- equal to last year, nnless we have en
tirely mistaken the tenor of the statements
submitted to ns. Mr. .—, 100 bags or
more, but 100 certain, as it appeared on July
15th, is now down beyoDd a question to 35

Friday, in executive session, the name of A.
W. Stone, of this city, was sent to the Senate
as Jndge of the Superior Court for the Eastern
Circuit, in. the place of the Hon. William R.
Fleming. The people of this District, of all
parties, will be grateful to learn that the nomi

The President’s ground is that militia,doty
is incumbent upon every citizen; that it is
an emergency force, subject to be called
frOm the plow or the loom at any time, and
from which no citizen can escape, bat that a
standing army ot paid troops in any State,'
nnless called for and controlled by Federal
authority, is repugnant to the Constitution

Democratic Convention in Charleston in

the great clond of liberty for Ihe colored
man. A point of order was raised whether
tne fifteen minute rnle was in force. The
chair decided that each member had unlim
