The financial credit of the States is a subject which concerns their honor aud interest a- lene. If they repudiate, the odium is theirs, not the Government’s, and if by such a dishonest policy they de stroy their future credit, they cannot hope to screen themselves from the just consequences of a wrong act be hind the Federal Government. The Georgia Convention will recollect, we hope, that if the State owes debts contracted during the war, her citi zens also owe similarly contracted debts, and that a law repudiating the obligations of the one, should, in equi ty, repudiate the obligations of the other, and would thus entail an im mense amount of wrong and suffering upon innocent creditors, public and private. Every State should set its people an example of virtue and fi nancial integrity. Failing to do this, States are morally responsible for the opprobrium which attaches to wrong acts superinduced by evil examples.— Alabama has discredited herself with all right thinking persons, by this one act, repudiation.

Regarding the tickets, the Democrats have the advantage, as their candidates arc per sonally popular and will carry an indi vidual influence with the election.—*- But the people plainly presented to them, and the is sue may be safely left in their hands.” In all this we perceive what is not referred to by the Sun, the popularity of the President and his plan of South ern restoration in the North. Emi nently wise, conciliatory to the South, and calculated to restore the “Uniou” at an early day, we do not wonder that every conservative man in the North is inspired with, and will favor it.— By the Radical element only and its leaders, Wendell Phillips, Sumner, Stevens and others of ‘like kidney,’ the President will be assailed—vea, “How looflr did Adam remain iu Paradise befois be sinned? ” seid en amieble spouse to her has- baud “Till b* e ot * r *P I 7- sail, assessor oflosses, and several other gentlemen belonging to the different fire oilices, have sent specially down to ascer tain how the insurance companies of tho city and provincial towns are interested ; and also to inquire into the cause of the terrible calamity, and how many persons are left unprovided for.

The district attorney, L. H. Cbandley, made a very eloquent aud forcible speech, urging upon the court a liber al policy in treating the large number cf confiscation cases upon the docket. The judge before adjournment made the following decision, and ordered that in all cases where pardons have been granted and where the amnesty oath lias been taken, 6ave as to those under the President’s proclamation, suits for property under, the confisca tion law be dismissed upon payment of costs. A large number of citizens interested under this ruling were pres ent in court, and many came forward and- paid the costs that bad accrued * upon suits began against them. wm+mmrn—- The Southern people ask that they may not be stripped of their possessions aud disfranchised.
