\ \ The Weekly Democrat. CR K: Ht fiSRLL, Editor mm* Prop’r 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 respeet were •T.uerson. Jackson, Van Buren K Tyler and Buchanan—all but tbs bachelor Buchanan having been n itlwnci d« Hurah fur Georgia ! Her Ben Hill made a two hours soeech in the Senate last Friday. God has heard the sincere prayer that has gone up from the hearts of our people, to spare their grand orator. 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 by the Confederate States of America, from 1861 to 1864 inclusive, willing to oo operate with and entrust their in- twrests to the committee appointed in pursuance of the resolution passed at the meeting of-bondholders held on the 3lst day of Mav, 1881, at the Cannon Street hotel, are requested to send in their bonds to the office of the Oomu.it- tee.
