The National Dank 2/treat.
Nothing has served to bring more foroiblv
before the people the expensive machinery
now naed in sopplyiug them with a circula
ting medium, than the threat of the Nation
al Banks, the only beneficiaries of this sys
tem, to withdraw their circulation sbou and
the President sigu .thejfundiug bill reoently
passed by Congress. The people are al
ready complaining under the power exer
cised by these giant corporations in expand
ing or oootraoting tile currency at will, and
this attempt to oontrol legislation by the
exercise of this pewer ought to serve as an
eye opener to our law givers. Our Nation
al Rank system is perfeot ever de
vised, and with proper legislation oouid be
made almost unobjectionable. Tba new
funding bill is a move in this direction, and
that it makes,the Banks squirm is ouly, ad
ditional evidence to the people of its im
portance.
The three peroeut bond may not afford
as much remuneration to the National Bank
as the fives and sixes, bnt it still leaves a
reasonable margin of profit, and if the old
banking matitututions are not willing to
furnish us notes on the terms proposed, we
apprehend that new institutions will. It
will not be a hard task to Bbow that there
is money to be made by buying a three per
cent bond, when it requires a very simple
operation to deposit it as collateral and se
cure ninety per eent of its face value in a
c mutating medium as good as that paid or
iginally tor the bond. The tax on the cir
culation is only an institution of the cir
cumlocution office, and virtually reduces
the bond to little more than a two p r Cent,
but with th'B there ought to be a margin of
profiit large enough to satisfy reasonable
men. To illustrate, as we understand the
system. A National Bank is organized with
a capital of SIOO,OOO. This amount is in
vested in bonus, bearing three per cent, in
terest which are deposited to secure a cir
culation of $90,000. The bank has out of
its working capital, by the operation, only
ilO.OtiO —and draws an interest of $3,000
on ttie bunds for this outlay. Toe lax of
one par cent on circulation reduces the net
amount to $2,100, but 21 per cent per an
num is a very good interest. Exceedingly
good.
Magazine Notes.
—The Amencau Ag.iculmist is worthy
of a place on the reading table of eveiy
farmer in this country. How any farmer
who loves his oalltng can do without it la a
mystery to us.
—The Southern Farmer’s Monthly is sec
ond to no agricultural journal in point of
interest, while it is a delight to the eye in
its typographic execution. We are proud
of it as a Georgia institution and would be
glad if every one of our farmer friend*
would sub scribe for it. They would be
made better farmers thereby.
—The March number Of Godey, the peer
of the ladies magazines, is a bright at anew
dollar. Evory number contain a complete
novel and other short stories and is com
plete in itself.
Largest Book Published.
The edition of Webster’s Unabridged
Dictionary recently issued, in the quantity
of matter it cantains, is believed to be the
largest volume published.
It will surprise many readers to know
that it contains eight times the amount of
matter contained in the Bible, being suffi
cient to make 75 12nao. volumes that usual
ly sell for $1.25 each! Its vocabulary < om
prires over 118 000 words ("4 600 of which
hxve recently been added).
It has anew Biographical Dictionary,
giving brief important facts concerning
9,700 noted persona.
There is a Memoir of Noah Webster a
brief history of the English language, Prin
ciples of Prononnoiation, Lists of 4,000

HAMILTON, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1881.
I‘resident Garfield.
To day—Friday, March 4th—General
Garfield is to be inaugurated President of
these United States. We anticipate good
results from his administration- We shall
not obtain under it perhaps quite as many
lucrative positions for gentlemen acqnain
tenoes of uora. but if the southern people
wilt devote as muob attention to the more
pressing necessities of the home cirole, and
leave onr governmental relations in the
back ground for a season, they will have
little cause to regret tbo recent demooratio
defeat. General Garfield ia the first patty
leader elected to the office of President in
many years. Ho has hesn accused of pe
culiar weaknesses, bnt as a leader of his
party in the lower house of Congress, he
has shown a power to oontrol that is phen
omenal. He is a Christian statesman, and
while we may differ with him in his ideas
of oentrsliz.tion and in his sllegianos to
republicanism, at the same Mme we expect
as muob good from his administration as
we oouid from the present Isadora of the
democratic party who seem to be controlled
more by motives of policy than principle.

decidedly superior to all others in the mar
