GEORGIA GOLD BONDS.
We had an interview yesterday with an
intelligent citizen cf Georgia, just returned
from Europe, who states that thesis per
cent, gold bonds of Georgia arc being
hawked about in financial circles in Lou
don and Paris seeking purchasers. They
have no market price, but are shoved off on
the best terms practicable upon the un
wary, and are bought at low flgares by
those who know what they are about, but
are willing to take the risk for the chances
of a large profit. <>ur informant says he
does not doubt he could have bought any
quantity of them at 30c. to 40c. in the dol
lar. But believing them to be fraudulent
ly, or, at least, illegally issued, he declined
to touch them at any price. He knew there
no particulars, but as he heard H. I. Kim
ball was in Europe, his suspicions were
on the alert, and he kept clear of them.—
He came over on the Scotia, and learned
from three passengers on board that they
had dippcil in and were considerable hold
ers of these bonds. They were, or affected
to be quite startled at the suggestion that
they might be repudiated by the Legisla
ture as illegally Issued, and not binding
upon the State. They should have re
membered the caution that a conspicuously
low price suggests: 'lt’s too cheap to be
good.”
There may lie some innocent holders of
these bonds, who bought at high prices,
such as unquestioned ones of the same
character and rate of interest would com
mand. But it was the duty of alt such to
acquaint themselves with what they were
buying, and make sure they were buying a
genuine article, issued in conformity to
law. The State should not lie held respon
sible for the mistakes and, imprudences of
strangers, any more than for the frauds
perpetrated In her name by corrupt offi
cials. For those who have bought the
State bonds at suspiciously low prices, in
the hope of a profitable speculation, we
have no sympathy. The price was itself
equivalent to the ear-mark of fraud.
We hope the honest holders, if there are
any, will be able to trace them back to the
hands of those who illegally put them
afloat and gave them currency, and that
they will be able to recover their money.
If Henry Clews & Cos. can be shown to
b.- the delinquents in connection with
Bollock and Kimball, they should be, and
probably will be, made by the holders to
respond to the full extend of the money
that has thus come into their hands.

Atlanta, November 30,1871.
“ IN CONFORMITY WITO, FTC,”
Thanksgiving came In with a cold but
cloudless morning. I noticed ice to double
the thickness of common winc.ow glass,
formed in the builders’ water tauks along
the streets, and the frozen mud made the
crossings quite passable.
Business during the day was general!\
suspended, as wore also transactions in the
various State and Government offices ; and
but for the fact of the numerous saloons
remaining open the streets would have pre
sented quite a Habbath day appearance.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
At the hour of half past ten a. m., as per
well regulated arrangements, divine some,
was held in the Hall of Representatives. 1
was glad to notice on the floor a large
attendance of the members of both branches
of the Legislature. They, as a general
tiling, were dressed in store clothes, and
presented a commendable neat and orderly
appea.ance. Also on the floor and in the
galleries were many gentlemen represent
ing the different departments of State and
honorable social positions.
THE SERVICES
were conducted by the reverend gentlemen,
Mr. Wright, Mr. Spaulding and Dr. Wills.
The Doctor has the reputation of being
r ie of the most powerful and finished pul
pit orators in the South. His appearance
is strikinglv tine, and his voice deep and
expr <sive, often gives extraordinary force
to sentences which, depending alone on
tt dr qualities of thought, would hardly
rise above raediocracy.
IN THE GALLERY
there was a crowded assembly ol ladies and
gentlemen, who, in order to secure choice
positions, came in at an early hour. The
city church choirs were well represented,
the singers being sealed in the gallery,
facing the Speaker’s de9k.
In the opening and closing services the
singing was eloquently grand. It seemed,
as an aged friend remarked to roe, to really
“LIFT SOUL CP TO GOP.”
Do you not think that there is more true
worship in the eloquence of voices matched
in harmony, and accompanied by the dwell
in'' tones'of the organ, than there is one
half of the loti" plauditory recitations
called prayer? For my part, I bavn’t the
h-a«t doubt of it.
A SOCIAL KNTERTA 1 NMKNT
was announced to be given this evening by
the ladies, for the benefit of the First Bap
tist Church. I fear, however, that the
threatening condition of the weather will
induce a postponement.
HENRY W. LAW, ESq.,
a gentleman who enjoys a fine reputation
as an orator, is to deliver his lecture this
evening, in the hall of the House, on “ The
Triumphs of Eloquence. The Neno Era, of
this morning, sacs of him :
“ Mr. Law, by his own triumph of elo
quence, has so won upon the hearts of the
l-cople of the South, that his name is as fa
miliar ami agreeable to recollection as are
the remembered strains of some touching
melody that has charmed the mind, and
lead captive its responsive thoughts. ’
TUB LEGISLATURE
will go to work again to-morrow morning.
The two branches are nearly all in the
city, and are prepared to hasten as far as
practicable the work now awaiting delib
eration. It is generally conceded that the
session will hold until the 15th of Decem
ber. Hotels and boarding houses are still
crowded with gnests, and from the elon
gated faces of a few lobby members among
them, I imagine that the axe-grinding mill
works but slowly.
SNOW AND SLEET.
As l finish my letter a fall of snow and
sleet Is in rapid progress without. The
pavements arc already slippery and splash
ing with slush, and the pedestrians hurry
along with steps that indicate a holy dread
of so uninviting condition of things. Well,
it only makes the fire within more cheerful
and bright, and I am already contemplat
ing the sweets of a mug of hot cider, and
a turn at those visionary sketches of the
mind which inhabits the glowing embers
with a world of living figures.
13.
An Indiana editor gives this to the world
as an argument that the women of his State
are well prepared for the duties of a voting
citizen : A Harrison county girl recently
knocked her mother down with a rolling
pin, and in turn was choked by her father
until her tongue hung out of her mouth.
Iu a short time mother and daughter re
covered, and pitched into the old gentleman
with rolling pin and table forks, nearly
ruining his arm with the latter. The
daughter then threw all of the dishes out
yi the window.”
I From the New York Dally Bu.iella. j
State Taxes on l ommerclal Travelers.
The United States Supreme Court has
rendered a decision of much importance to
the business community, affirming the
right of States to tax commercial travelers,
or “drummers,” who come from other
States to sell goods by sample. The cir
cumstances of the case, which was brought
before the Supreme Court on appeal from
one of the Maryland State courts are,
briefly, as follows: The plaintiff, who rep
resents a firm in Newark, N. J., was in
dieted in the Criminal Court of Baltimore
for selling goods by sample in that city
without the license required by State law,
he being a non-resident. The Maryland
court held that the statute under which
the indictment was found was not repug
nant to the Clause of the Constitution
which entitles the citizens of each State to
all privileges and immunities of citizens of
the several States, nor to the clause which
grants to Congress the power to regulate
commerce with foreign nations and among
the several Stabs and with the Indian
tribes, because that clause coufers upon
Congress no power of regulation or of
direct control over the internal commerce
or domestic trade of the States. L pon
these views the indictment was sustained,
and the cause was brought to the Supreme
Court, where the reverse was maintained
t>y the piaintifl’ in error, who contended
that this attempted violation by a State of
the manner in which trading within it may
be carried on by citizens of other States,
and in respect of merchandise to be intro
duced from other States, touches the main
affirmative power of ordinary active com
merce between the States, confided to Con
gress, and is in this case a direct discrimi
nation between citizens of Maryland and
citizens of other States in respect of an or
dina. v and extensive branch of mercantile
dealing. After mature deliberation, the
Supreme Court has sustained the decision
of the Maryland Court of Appeals, and
affirmed the validity of the statute requir
ing commercial travelers to procure li-
censes.
Upon what ground this decision is based
we do not know, but until Congress shall
see fit to exercise its supposed authority in
the matter by the enactment of a uniform
law, it must stand as final. Under this de
cision, the States undoubtedly have the
right to tax commercial travelers as heavily
as they please for the licenses they are re
quired’ to take out. Whether it is wise or
not for them to exercise this power, is quite
another question. The object of such laws
is to benefit one class of merchants by de
priving other classes of the facilities they
now enjoy for purchasing direct from the
Now York jobbers without the trouble and
expense of a journey to this market. They
ar • lesigned to be as far as possible pro
hibitory in their operations as affictiug
the sale of goods by sample, card, cata
logue or trade list. Like all forms
of “ protection ” against foreign com
petition they seek to benefit the few at
the expense of the many, Including retailers
in all branches of trade and consumers of
all classes; and again, like all forms of
protection, they injure the many without
benefiting the few*. Such law’s have their
origin in the petty jealousies with which
the wholesalers and jobbers of the interior
cit'es regard the enterprising jobbers of
New York, and only show that, if States
had the power to withdraw from intimate
commercial intercourse with each other
and to place barriers of taxation in the way
of trade, some, at least, would try the
foolish experiment. We are glad, not for
our own sakes alone, but for the sake of
the mass of the American people, that but,
few State have descended to the petty policy
of legislation designed to restrict commercial
intercourse, and to excl tde those repre
senting the commercial enterprise of other
States from their jealously guarded territo
ry.

The Vlarket tor Hide*.
The market value for hides was greatly
enhanced by the gold discoveries in 1848
and 1851. River Platte hides commanded
but nine cents in the New York market in
I*l7, and gradually rose to thirty-four cents
in 1857, when the great financial crisis re
duced inflated values. Oar war depressed
prime Bnenos Ayres” to fifteen cents gold
in September, 18G4, when there was the
greatest accumulation of hides in this mar
ket ever witnessed—76B,ooo. Since that
time the rise has been slow but steady.
The highest point reached this year was
twenty six cents gold, duty paid, for twen
ty-three pound classified Bnenos Ayres.—
The price is now half a cent lower.
The great, advance between 18-t Sand 1857
was partly caused by the impulse given to
the leather trade and to the manufacture of
boots and shoes by the demand in Cali for
nia and Australia, which was increase 1 by
tnc wastefulness of miners and by frequent
fires in the gold ports. Since the late war
there has been an increased demand for the
Southern States, because the colored people
apparently wear better boots and shoes than
while they were slaves. The whites in those
States are doing well, and their demand is
as great as before the rebellion.
The extraordinary increase of hide impor
tations at New York is made apparent by
the followinglist ofannual averages during
the successive periods of five years each
-1848-52,1,298,000; 1853-57, 1,600,000; 1858-
62, 1,765,000; 1863 67, 1,084,000 During
the three years 1868 70 the annual average
was 2,700,000, and during 1871, up to Octo
ber 23, the imports were 2,1*00,000.
Although our imoorts have, during some
months of the present year, appeared over
whelmingly large, the demand for consump
tion has constantly corresponded with their
magnitude, and the market has quickly re
bounded whenever it seemed to be depressed
temporarily under a load of large quanti
ties landing. Our stock is now quite moder
ate—lso,ooo hides .witbjan active inquiry in j
anticipation of the closing of the cauals. i
Although we know T that 220,000 hides are i
expected next month from the River Platte
alone, the fui price of cents, gold ; duty
paid, for “prime Buenos Ayres,” our stun
dard of values, is sustained. Texas promi
ses to indemnify us for the diminished re
ceipts from California, which now tans its
own hides.
