Bainbridge Democrat: During the pre
liminary trial of Milo Donaldson, for the
offense of murder, before his Houor Judge
Campbell, oil Wednesday, is was affecting
indeed to witness the interest manifested in
tho prisoner by his former master. Milo
had slain, iu mortal combat, one of his race.
Au unusual array of persecution was dis
played towards him by his own color. He
could look, in his forlorn condition, not to
his race for succor—for he was totally de
serted by them iu his fearful hour of need.
Then to whom could he look? His
former master—true to his instinct
and moved by au everlasting affection
aud attachment for his former slave—with
out solicitation from anyone, but moved by
an honest desire to see liis old servant secure
justice and see him ably represented by
Counsel, set himself to work aud procured
the very best counsel he could get at his
own expense, and he is now being ably rep
resented before the committing court.' The
deep and uninterested devotion of the
former master on this oeeasiou was indeed
affecting. He and his former slave were
reared together in their childhood, and he
eould not bear the idea of deserting him in
his time of need.
Augusta Constitutionalist of Saturday : A
visit was made yesterday to Crawfordville,
by a representative of the Constitutionalist
who ascertained that the “Great Commoner”
is still iu a condition to excite the appre
hensions of his friends. Dr. Steiner was
hastily summoned to his bedside on Satur
day night last, and remained in close at
tendance until Wednesday night. Dr. Kent
was with Mr. Stephens when our represent
ative visited “Liberty Hall.” Painters are
engaged in painting the outside of the
house, and the interior has evidently
just been painted and renovated. The
writer is a sufferer from colie wherever
painters are using white paint, and
the idea occurred to him that the ill
ness of Mr. Stephens might be traced
to this cause. Still, Dr. Steiner, from his
diagnosis of the case, decides that his pa
tient is suffering from a neuralgic affection
of the chief organs of the stomach, and it
was reported yesterday, gouty symptoms
have manifested themselves. 'No person
outside of Mr. Stephens’s family circle are
permitted to visit him, as it only excites
him. Any cause which occasions' excite
ment to him rushes his pulse up to 110, and
as the healthy normal pulse is from 60 to
75, our readers can judge of his condition.
Doses of morphine, of about one
eighth of a grain, are administered
to give him relief from the pain
he naturally suffers. Major Miller, his
secretary, informed our representative that
the second attack occurred last Saturday as
Mr. Stephens was chatting with some friends,
especially in relation to his labors on John
son’s E'ncvclopcedia, which has already
reached the letter “M.” The discussion of
all subjects likely to excite Mr. Stephens,
have been tabooed since he was first at
tacked. Everyone having the welfare of the
country—particularly the South—at heart,
cannot bat view with intense interest the
state of Mr. Stephens's health, for bis opio
ions at this juncture of affairs will be in
valuable in pointing oat the true coarse for
patriots to pursue.

Athens Georgian: There are now in the
University something less than two hun
dred students. They are all orderly and
steady, and are prosecuting their duties
vigorously. More will undoubtedly come in
after awhile, and we hope to see our college
well filled. Prof. Lumpkin tells us that the
average ages of the students are greater
than usual, the majority being between
eighteen and twenty, and very few below
seventeen. We aie glad to hear this, be
cause everybody knows that the older a boy
is, tho better can he appreciate the ad

two years, and for live mouths recently her
practice has been on an organ altogether,
still thero are few young ladies iu the com
munity who can excel her. The pieces she
will play at Thomasville she has selected
aud learned herself.
The Sandersville Herald has the following
scene iu Johnson Superior Court: The case
of the State vs. John Caroway was called,
when Gen. R. W. Carswell, who represented
tho accused, arose and said, “ May it please
your Honor, the defendant, John Caroway,
who, as your Honor will observe, is a gay
and festive youth, has been engaged for
some time past in the effort to woo and win
tho rustic maiden, Leonoro Price, now by
his side; they have now determined 'to per
petuate matrimony, and request that your
Honor will tie the mystic knot between
them, and thus absolve them from all charge
of crime, and send them ou rejoicing.

Hawktnsville Dispatch: A party of dis
guised men, numbering forty or fifty, went
ou horseback to the store of Bob Smith, at
Allen’s cross roads, in Wilkinson count}', on
Saturday night laßt, and set fire to the
building, which was entirely consumed, to
gether with a large stock of new goods and
a four-horse wagon containing five bales of
cotton. Willie Smith, a nephew of the pro
prietor, was sleeping in the store. He was
awakened and told to take out his owu
clothing and other effects, and also permit
ted to remove the books and valuable papers
of the store. He requested the privilege of
moving the wagon load of cotton, but was
refused. A chest of tools belonging to Mr.
McCoy was also taken out. When the build
ing was partly enveloped in flames the party
left in a gallop.
Montezuma Weekly : Mr. William Jay, the
bridge builder on the Southwestern Railroad,
tells of a frog that was encased in the brick
foundation supporting a marked column of
the tressel leading to the bridge over Flint
river, which, to his certain knowledge, has
occupied his place of confinement for some
thing over twelve years, and yet, to his utter
astonishment, when the light of the sun
reached his subterranean vault a few days
ago, the frog was found to be as healthy 'as
when buried iu the spring of 1863.
While constructing this foundation in
1863 the idea occurred to him that
the test might be made, and as
the circumstances authorized the project,
the plan of a test was adopted without any
settled notion as to the fact of his experi
ment ever being fully realized under bis
personal observation. Tho oft repeated
story of this animal’s ability to live for ages
iu a dormant state he thinks is fully con
firmed since the frog alluded to exhibited
no change in its appearance other (ban of a
manifest bleaching from the effect of its long
retirement. When confined to the repository
of its twelve years inactivity it reposed iu
an indenture of its shape and size formed
in the soft mortar by its weight, w'hich had
long since resolved into the consistency of
stone, aud when released by an incision into
the structure a few days' ago, the frog
leaped from its confinement, leaving the
mark of its shape, which had thus hard
ened >nto adamant around him. There is
no telling how long this frog may have
lived in this home of his confinement.

As a criterion of the state of trade, the
statistics of fail area in business are inter
esting in such periods as the present, and
we avail ourselves of the opportunity af
forded by Messrs. B. G. Dun A Cos., of the
Mercantile Agency, to present our readers
with the figures for the past nine months.
The elaborate quarterly circular of the
agency contains details that our apace will
not permit to publish, but a synopsis wifi
convey all that is essential. It appears that
the failures in the United States for the
three quarters have been as follows :
1875. Number. Amount.

April, May and June 1,581 83.657.000
July. August and September—l,77l 54,328,000
Total for nine months 5,334 $131,171,000
Owing to tne fact that this is the first
year in which ouar .< *'y returns of failures
have been ccmplit. 1, it is impossible to in
stitute an accurate comparison with similar
periods included in the above figures. But
with the total failures of previous entire
years before us, divided by three-fourths, a
comparative result is reached, which will be
sufficient for all practical purposes.

ures for past 9 ties for past 9

Referring to these statistics, the Agency
remarks :
“While the figures presented above wear
a discouraging aspect, it must not be for
gotten that these failures are largely the re
sult of previous m sfortuues, with which
the trade of the p-it three months is not
chargeable. The effects of the panic of
1873, or rather the excesses of which that
was the climax, are eeen in a great number
of the casualties included in the foregoing
figures. Certainly the increase in the
amount of the liabilities is traceable to the
attempt, on the part of some of the heav
iest houses v, ho have succumbed, to float
themselves along by increasing their
obligations, and otherwise postponing
the evil day, in the hope ol a
revival of business and a return of better
times, When their assets would become more
realizable. Then it must be borne iu
mind that just such a period as this tests
very severely the stability of all whose
affairs are at ail. expanded, while those
whose claims t o credit rest only on previous
reputation, and who have only the shell or
poor remains of lost or diminished fortunes,
are utterly unable to withstand the search
ing, realizing spirit of the day. The times
are unfavorable to such as these, and the
consequences are to be seen in a largely in
creased list of failures and heavier liabilities
than in the average of years. Departure
from legitimate business principles, perhaps
iu former years, or even of more recent oc
currence, is the cause to which not a few of
the failures of the last quarter can be traced,
and these results are more properly charge
able to the indiscretion of individuals, or
their want of judgment, than to a disorgan
ized or unsafe condition of trade.”
It is apparent from the foregoing figures
and other indications that the disease with
which the commercial community has been
affected is one of slow development; but it
by no meanß follows that, because the
symptoms are now becoming more marked
than formerly, the recovery of the patient
is any the more remote. On the contrary,
there are many indications, referred to iu
the circular, of returning health and vigor.
Chief among the hopeful signs of the times
is the disposition to rapidly realize upon
the abundant crops which have been so
successfully harvested, and which must
greatly increase the purchasing and debt
paying power of a large class of the com
munity. In anticipation of this movement
in oropß and currency, the agency reports
that a very fair trade has been' done at
almost all jobbing centres, and though
business by no means attains its former
volume or profitableness, the results of tbe
autumn trade are in the main encouraging.
The circular goes on to state that “numer
ous interests remain depressed; that capital
continues timid and hence idle; that many
manufactories are only partially etnployed;
that some staples of merchandise show no
profit, while others can only be sold at a
loss; and that there is much which prevents
a hopeful view of business matters.” These
considerations, no doubt, account for the
increased number of failures. There is no
denying the fact that the reduction of the
volume of business, tbe seeming impossi
bility of largely reducing expenses, and
above all, the eiormous number engaged
iu business, iu proportion to the trade to be
done, even in the best of years, and which
periods like the present “weed out” most
effectually—these are causes for an increased
latlure list, which may justly be attributed
to the pressure of the times.’ But, after all,
as the Agency suggests, it may be doubted
if this process is au unmixed evil.
As to the future condition of the trade of
the country, there are, as above alluded to,
some hopeful signs, and the convictions
seems to bo that, “as compared with the
condition of things at this date last year,
there is certainly an improved prospect.
Notwithstanding the figures presented
above, the year has been by no means one
of disaster, and, though the process seems
a slow one which leads on to prosperity, it
is none the less a sure one.”
The circular concludes with a practical,
and we take it a very timely warning, in
reference to loose credits, and states that:
“ There is noticeable a gradual increase
in the time of credit given and the great
advance in tho amounts granted. An undue
expansion of credits for the purpose of in
ducing business is an evil policy at any time,
but it is peculiarly so when economy, re
stricted trade and gradual reduction of ex
isting indebtedness should be the features
of the hour. Cheap credit is the sure pre
cursor of disaster, and, while the strongest
element in the financial fabric in these try
iug times has hitherto been the small in
debtedness, it is not difficult to see that if
the lines of credit become lax in time,
amount or character, all that promises fa
vorably will only contribute to hasten an
unhealthy and an unsafe condition of busi
ness. If, on the contrary, a wise conserva
tism is practiced in this respect—if the
standard of credit is elevated, rather than
lowered, and a rigid scrutiny made into the
claims of all tvho seek it, the prosperitv for
which all pray will come as soon, and be far
more likely to stay when come it does.”
The tendency of unwise credits is illus
trated by the figures given of the failures
in Canada, which indicate that though the
trade of the Dominion two years ago was
very prosperous, in the past nine months
thirty in every thousand traders have failed,
while the figures in the United States show
that only < 'ght in every thousand have suc
cumbed. It is stated that the solid pros
perity of the great body of the people of
the Dominion is undoubted, and already
good progress is being made toward recov
ery in the health of its trade, but the figures
referred to teach the lesson that expansion
in unwise credits is most delusive and dan
gerous.

SAVANNAH .MARKET.
WEEKLY REPORT.
.OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,)
Savannah, October 2i, 1575. f
General Remarks.— Business has been rather
quiet the past week in all branches of trade,
though a very satisfactory amount has been done.
The continued ease in the money market seems to
have the natural effect of reviving business, still
it is conducted in such a quiet manner that every
thing has the appearance of being dull. The job
bers, however, say that they are constantly fill
ing orders, which will constitute the
largest part of business the balance of
the season, as buyers through the interior
have nearly ail been in the market and com
pleted their fall and winter stocks. The late cold
weather had the effect of bringing many mer
chants into the market who had delayed their
fall purchases ns long as they could- They
bought fall stocks of all kinds of merchandise,
and most of them have returned. There have
been no •• ranges of importance in the dry goods
market since our last (report, notwithstand
ing the fact that prints and domestic
cotton goods have suffered a very heavy decline
in the Nortnem marke s. The decline, however
does not appear to be a legitimate one, bnt is of
a speculative nature, and prices will probably be
settled again in the coarse ot a few day*. The
high price of bacon noted in our last report has
been abate i by the restoration of quiet in the
Western markets, and quotations are reduced to
13c, for clear rib sides, and other meats have un
dergone a proportionate reduction.
The money market has been fairly active dur
ing the week at tin! usual rates, though there has
been some excitement caused l>y the suspension
ot a large cotton commissiou house. Securities
have been in demand at advanced prices, and
large sales have been made.
Cotton.—The market for spots was quiet but
firm during the early part of the week, but later,
upon advices of an adverse nature from control
ling markets and the exceedingly heavy receipts
it became dull and irregular, and for the last
three days prices have been steadily declining
until to-night, when they show a decline of %c.
since last reported. On Wednesday they de
clined %c. On Thursday there was a like falling
off. On Saturday there was still a further decline
of Sic; on Monday a %c., and to-day we note a
further reduction of l-16c. Holders have gener
ally been unwilling to meet these prices and
have resisted them whenever they could, but
buyers, of course, would pay no more, and have
purchased freely whenever holders would meet
their views. We give below the daily resume of
the market for each day during the week, which
will fully explain the tone aud condition of the
market for the week. The market closed quiet
to-night. We quote :

day and where holders made sales they had to
take even a shade lower than quotations. At the
second call the market was reported easier with
a dei line of %"c on all grades, but since that time
has been dull and unchanged, Liverpool closed
dull with 1-I6d decline and sales of 10.000 bales,

but holders seemed willing to meet the demand,
and consequently no advance was paid except in
a very few cases. Liverpool closed lirm and un

the belief that prices will be lower next week.
