THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3. 1881.
Atlanta is to have two new papers.
Arthur found some difficulty in filling
his cabinet.
The United States Senate adjourned
last Saturday. What benefit has the
country derived from this extra ses-
sien.
The adjournment of the Senate makes
tt probable that Judge Hunt’s strug
gles to retain a place in the Cabinet will
be temporarily successful.
Mr, Arthur is the sixth president
who goes wifeless into the executive
mansion. His predMs**^'” in this

prayer that has gone up from the hearts
of our people, to spare their grand

THE CONFEDERATE BOND CRAZE
HEAVY PUCHA8E8 OF THE SKCUBITIES
IN CHARLESTON - RUMORS OF NU
MEROUS COUNTERFEITS AFLOAT.
The gubernatorial campaign is wax
ing warm in Virginia. The Democrats
and honest debt-payers have a good
grip and will, we believe, come out
victorious. They are mnking a square
fight for honor and justice, against
Mahoneism, radicalism and readjust
ment.
Every time a couple «f Ex-Confeder
ate and old union officers meet and take
a “smile” together oow-a days the news
paper correspondents look upon it as
“auothcr otep towards the cultivation of
brotherly feeling between North and
South,” and imuiediate'y dash off a
patriotic letter to their respective jour
nals.
A Pennsylvania Presbyterian danced
a waltz, and showing no contrition for
the deed, was expelled from member
ship. Being a lawyer, and controversi
ally inclined, he appealed the case to
the Presbytery, which has sustained the
expulsion. This is an authoritative re
affirmation that it is sinful for a Presby
terian* to waltz. A total abstinence
from waltzing by by all Presbyterians
may now be looked for—but not seen.
In three States which vote on the
8th of November, the most nationally
important issue present is the choice of
a local Legislutuie. The reason is that
these Legislatures liavetochoose United
States Senators, and the closeness of
the Senate has been made very appar
ent of late. These States are Iowa,
Minnesota, and Mississippi. In New
Jersey, also, the local Senator? chosen
from eight counties will be called upon
to participate in the choice of a United
States Senator in 1883.
A Washington correspondent writing
of the election of Davis to succeed Bay
ard says; “Bayard knowing what was
coming had resigned the chair to Sen*
ator Harris, and returned to his desk .
“There w»s great excitement in the
galleries as the roll call progressed.
Some thought that Senator Davis would
vote against himself. Of course he did
not, and in eonsequenoe everybody
chuckled and smiled except Senator
Davis himself, who tried to look indif
ferent, and failed- When Senator Bay
ard’s name was called he did not belie
his record as a gentleman and as a
statesman. Rising, he said with digni
ty and simplicity. “Mr. President, I
beg to withhold my vote on the ques
tion. .1 have never obtained office by
my vote* and I shall never retain it by
that means.” How small mast Senator
Davis 1 huge body have felt at this.
THE NINTH MASSACHUSETTS*
Massachusetts, the laud of steady
h«bit*, we are sorry to say was unrepre
sented, at Kiohmond, Va.,on the York-
town trip. The boys got high and for
got themselves. The Washington Post
gets the following from Cspt. B. L
Grans, of the Thirteenth New York
Veteran association :
‘ Howabout the trouble at Richmond,
captain *’*
“Well, sir, there was trouble there.
It took place on Mon- ay u, on the ar
rival of the Ninth Massachusetts regi
ment. Our qten on arriving at Rich
mond were reoejved by the first Virginia
regiment, and we w«^etreated elegantly.
The houses of the city were thrown
open to us and the ladies furnished qs
with Coffee and lunehcon. The action
of the Nintti Massachusetts men was
disgusting.”
“What did they do?*’
“They threw their arms about the
ladies upon the streets look possession
of the bar-rooms and helped them elves.
They killed a pig in public and behaved
Otherwise outrageously, notwithstanding
the remonstrances of General Fitzhugh
Lee. The Richmond authorities were
»n at York town.”
The operations in Confederate securi
ties have been quite active among the
Charleston brokers during the past
week, and immense amounts have been
bought in that market at prices ranging
from $2,50 to $5 a thousand. We learn
from the News aod Courier that the
demand continues good and the brokers
generally have entered the market and
are buying all the coupon bonds that
are offered. They are acting under in
structions from New York houses, who
in turn are buying on account of the
English holders of Confederate securi
ties. That paper Shys:
“Major E. Wiltis made the largest pur
chases in this market. He began opera-*
tions on last. Friday, and has bought
more than five million dollars in Con
federate Bonds, sixes and eights, with
the cupous of 1865 attached. Yester
day he purchased about one million and
a half of these bonds, which find ready
sale at from $4 to $5 a thousand, accord
ing to quantity* The Confederate
sevens rate at $3 to $3,50 a thousand,
and find slow sale
Mr. E M. Moreland has bought in
small quantities about $1,500,000 of
sixes and eights, R. M. Marshall & Bro.
have bought a few hundred thousand,
W. S Hastie & Son have made small
purchases, and so with other brokers in
the city.
The sale of the bonds has put forty
or fifty thousand dollars of good monev
in jirculation in this city. Some of the
buyers fear that any publication of the
ready sale of the bonds will have a ten
dency to ‘depress the market,' while
others think that the large holders of
the securities will stand back for better
pi ices.
The cotton bondsarcthe only securi
ties that are regarded by the brokers as
of any intrinsic value. Col. R J. Moses,
a prominent lawyer of Columbus. Ga , is
acting lor the American holders of the
Confderate bonds who intend to get the
Confederate deposits in the Bank of
England by litigation or compromise.
Col. Moses is a relative of Mr. Judah
P. Benjamin, one of the old Confeder
ate Cabinet, who has been retained in
this suit.
It was rumored on the streets yester
day that an enterprising New England
firm, as soon as the demand fur the
bonds sprung up, started a factory for
the purpose of manufacturing them in
order to supply our English cousins,
with all the article that they want. The
rumor could be traced to no authorifa
live source, hut it is remembered that
during the late war, out of which the
Confederate bonds sprang, ourbrethren
at the North supplied us with even a
better article in the shape of Confeder
ate currency than we were able to manu
facture at home, and so there may be
something in the rumor after all.”
Jus: what this Confederate Bond
craze means we arc un.iblc to say, but
there veeuts to be something in it. The
theory advanced by some is, that Eng
lish speculators are desirous of getting
p mossion of these bonds by paying
four and five dollars per thousand, and
then demand their payment at face-
value out of the gold, belonging to fhe
Confederacy, now lying in bank at
London. The Now York World thinks
that it ss only a well manipulated swind
ling speculation, andthat, ‘-at the proper
time, t umors will be started of negotia
tions w ; th the several States of Confed
eracy fur a pro rata assumption of its
debt, or some other proceeding tend
ing to give value to the bonds,
then there will be a spurt, of specu
lation and the present purchasers will
unload at a handsome profit, the opera
tion being repeated at a subsequent
collapse, and so on as lung as the pub*
lie ■'ill bear it.”
But the following significant adver
tisement, front the London Times leads
us to believe that there is u more sub
stantial basis for this flurry in bonds,
than most people imugiue :
The Confederate Suites of American
Loans (Dollar and Cotton Bonds).—
Notice.—All holders of dollar and cot
ton bonds of the various series issued
