THE 8T. LOUTS CO2TYEXTI0K
Never before perhaps, in the history of
-America was there held a National Conven
tion which so greatly involved the true, vital
interests of our whoio country; and, doubt
less, to nq inconsiderable extent, the perpe
tuity of our Republican form of Govern
ment, as will that soon to convene at St.
Louis.
From the recent developments at Wash
ington of unprecedented official corruption,
from the unmistakable Caesarian tendencies,
the disreputable nepotism, the growing
centralization of jtower under the present
Radical administration, we cannot be ob
livious to the fact that, upon the action
of this Convention in the selection of a
suitable and acceptable candidate for the
Presidency, depends the future welfare of
the American Republic. Whether through
a Democratic victory this fall, the hopes
of the country shall be brightened as to
a speedy return to that just, honest and
constitutional administration of the govern
ment, which shall harmonize all seclioual
differences, heal the wounds which have
been inflicted upon our national honor,
pride and reputation, bridge the chasms
of internecine war; thus re-establishing
“the American Union, one and insepara
ble, now and forever;” or whether, by the
continued supremacy of that party, founded
upon sectional hate and strengthened bi
partisan utilization of the government and
its patronage, this Centennial will prove
the clos'ng anniversary of onr Republican
existence.
In view then of the momentous issues to
be determined by the Convention at St.
Louis, let the' people throughout Georgia
v, ,, .... . | arise to the importance of the occasion and

Dear Georgian: “How are affairs in
New York?” has been so often asked of
yonr correspondent since his return from
Gotham, that he lias concluded to respond
to the same through the columns of your
interesting journal. We may preface our
remarks by saying that the Spring trade of
1876, has been the most unsatisfactory since
that of 1861. A few jobbers from Chicago,
Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville, Memphis,
New Orleans. Galveston,Richmond, Charles
ton, Savannah ai.d Atlanta, with a small
number of retail dry goods and clothing
dealers from points of lesser importance,
constituted the entire number of pilgr.ms
to the great commercial Mecca this season.
By way of parenthesis, we may here state
that a large portion of the jobbing trade
done by. New York in the past, has been
transferred to the cities above mentioned
as great centres of distribution. The old
Knickerbocker city, however, still controls
the importing business of America, and for
decades to come, will the “package” buy
ers flock to this great commercial and
monied centre.
The Stock Exchange, Gold Exchange and
Cotton Exchange have all been affected by
the “ Hard Pan” doctrines and “ General
Shrinkage.” The “ gambling” in these in
stitutions, however, still goes on, and the
operators manage, through small margins,
to keep the “ wolf from the door.’’ There
has been some activity in the Cotton
Excliange recently, yet, we advi»e onr
Granger friends to invest their money in
fertilizers—they may declare a dividend—in
October.
—Futures in cotton, very uncertain.
Castle Garden, the great American depot
for foreign immigrants, has had its financial
supplies cut off recently by the non-pay
ment by the Trans-Atlantic Steamship
Lines of the “Head Money”—about 82.00
for each immigrant—the collection of tha
same having been declared unconstitut onal.
The Labor Excliange, however, is still
kept up by contributions from the German
and Irish Immigration Societies of New
York.
Rapid Transit is still in the future the
only approximation to this coiisuiiiatioii so
devoutly wished, is the Greenu ich Street
cent hanging over your heads. .You are vir— i
tually gamblers, trusting and speculating in
futures, whenever you do it, ami thus in
risking "all, you may loose all. Better to i
live on bread and, milk and in a homestead
cabin than to be under bond to an exacting
Shylock. Interest is a thief, it is like rdst
on iron, it eats day and night nntil all is
consumed. If you would be free and pros-,
perous, don’t sign the mortgage, don’t listen
to the voice of the tempter—don’t go in
debt.—Marietta Journal.

A WORD OF CAUTIOy.
It has been suggested by several eminent
awyers, sonic of whom are ex-Judges of
the Supreme Court, that a waiver of »hc
homestead in a simple note is not legal and
binding. I refer to this because several
Atlanta merchants have commenced using
sugh notes.. There is, however, a tom of
note that can be used to which no legal
objection could possibly be made. A note
signed and sealed in tho presence of tYvo
persons, whose signatures shall attest this
fact, will hold good in any Court of justice,
be it a Circuit or Supreme Court of the
State, or any of the United 'States Courts.
This is a most important matter, and mer
chants should be very careful to use ajproper
fortu of note in all cases oi waiver ofhoiitu-
stead.
We extract tho above from an Atlanta
correspondence to the Augusta Chronicle &
Sentinel and would suggest, in oases where
it is desirable, that these notes should be ad
mitted of record, that, for the sake of con
venience, one of the witnesses be an officer.
Tliisis not necessary to make valid these
notes; but where neither witnesses Is an
officer and it - should become necessary to
record the note, ontf of thorn .would hive
to appear before the. recording officer and
makcoath as-to'thc signaturoof the parties
giving Baid note. This would not be re
quired, should one of them be a Justice of
the Peace, a Notary Public, or such officer
as may be empowered to attest such papers.

Pacific Stales, Democratic in the last elec

tions. to-wit: New York, New Jersey and

gether these States cast 180 electoral votes,
more than a majority. A candidate and a
platform at the St. Louis Convention which
shall satisfy the puhlic sentiment of these
three groups of Stales, will not fail to give
a Deme critic administration to the coun
try.”

last Friday evening. Senator Win. M. Eaton
addressed an audience of some twenty-five
hundred. In the coarse of his speech he
made rather a startling announcement con
cerning a matter which he said bad not
been as yet made public, hut with which lie
was “thoroughly conversant,” and iu sub
stance was that wh r, the New Orleans
whisky ring comes to be exposed, St. Louis
and other Western cases of this class would
seem insignificant; for in New Orleans
frauds would he traced directly to the
White House and to President Grant, who
Yvas familiar with all the facts. He claimed
i'drther, that men who had gone there to
ferret out the facts had been killed, and
that tho Attorney General had refused to
take steps toward punishing, the murders.
He ltnuw this to be true, and he knew that
the Attorney General and President also
knew it.”
If Senator Eaton spoke by authority, the
