The Democrats of tlic North are as un
stable us the winds, and there is no confi
dence whatever to be put in them. This is
the simple truth of the matter. Just when
victory aeems to be in our grasp, they back
down, and endeavor to throw the weight
t,f all their chimerical financial politics
mpon the South. The result is the Repub
licans foist their candidate into the presi
■ dential chair, and in our opinion will do so
in 1880, nnd that man will be Grant, or
worse—Sherman. Then nation will be
spelt with u big N, and State lines will exist
• only in the imagination. And the South
vrilf have another taste of carpet-baggisin
and.its evils. This is the way we look at it,
and we await the fulfillment of our proph
esy with patience.
Thk Atlanta Constitution says the com
plctioiUof the Lawrenceville Drancli Rail-j
road is now an assured fact and merely u
matter of time, and of very short time at :
that. At a meeting of the stockholders
held last week, it was found that the sub- i
'scriptiou fund amounted to #20.000 m cash, 1
- exclusive of some real estate which will ,
"'be accepted. A telegram was received
from Mr. Sibley, President of the Air-
Line Company, that the contract between
that corporation and the stockholders of
i the Lawrcnceville ltranch Road had been
signed, lty the terms of this contract the
Air-Line Road agrees to equip the I.aw
renccville Drancli provided the work is be
gun before the lirst of November. We

The lulercsl Dili.
Chrvnicle cf ( ViwUfutioHalist.
Sow of our esteemed Georgia contem
poraries continue to attack the new Inter
est bill. The Grittin Mews gravely asserts
that ** this act virtually stops banks from
loaning money, for it requires live or six
per cent, to pay the expenses ol a llfly
thousand dollar bank. For instance, they
have a President at twelve hundred dol
lars, and a Cashier at twelve hundred;
<then, if they have no book-keeper, their
rrents. insurance and taxes will amount to
sevcu or eight hundred dollars. This cal
culation, which we think is a liberal one,
shows tliat it requires six per cent, to run
a fifty thousand dollar bank, which only
Jeaves two jwr cent, net on the capital.
' Then the worst hardship it will work will
: bc on the farmers, who when they do bor
irow money, do it on six or eight months’
.time. tn order to have time to make a crop.
'.The bankers say they cannot loan money
(for that time at eight per cent, per annum,
and the consequence w ill be that the mer
chants will have* to borrow the money on
short time at one per cent, per month, and
supply the farmers with supplies on time
at big prices.”
In a majority of the States tbc legal rate
f interest is one or two per cent, lower
lhan that of Georgia. and yet the banks
contrive to survive, make money and accu
mulate reserve funds. IV e dare say the
Georgia banks will be able to mainlan
themselves. If the planter has to borrow
on short time at exorbitant rates per
month, we arc sorry for hint, but hope he
will do nothing of the kind.
The Macon Telegraph says it has taken
Jthe pains *• to communicate with every
ipresident in Macon, and they all af
firm ttytt their minimum expenses foot up
7} per cent, per annum, over four percent,
ol which is m the form of naked ami abso-
lute taxation. The remainder, which some
estimate as high as per cent., is lor sal
aries of employees, fuel, lights, insurance,
etc. They Bv, therefore, they will be
forced from necessity greatly to curtail
their operations and limit them to gilt edge
securities at short dates, which planters
cannot alforil to pay.”
Wc really hope that matters are not so
bad as this, and, us the Augusta banks
have arranged to conform to the law, very
likely the Macon banks, with a slight ef
fort, can do the same thing. It would be
a good tiling, perhaps, if all the banks
would limit their loans to gilt-edged secu
rities. the more so as they have not infre
quently loaned money and lost it on secu
rity no better than that of Bapdolpli or
Ancient Pistol, not to speak of Jack Fal
stalf.
Hut our respected and esteemed contem
poraries need have no fear. The banks
ami money lenders will survive ; they will
get out of hc planter and merchant all
that is possible. Men who have no secu
rities will learn to pay as they go, andprolit
by it. Men who have securities can bor
row money at excessive rates all the
same, and, at the end of the unequal light,
make assignments. The wealth of the
I'llited Stales is capitalized at about •!.]
per cent., and that is the true rate of in
terest. The man who thinks 8 per cent,
too low bad better write to Mr. George A.
Adair or else consult bis nearest neighbor
who lias tried to tight higher interest from
year to year.
THE HANKS ON THEIR METAL.
They Will Disregard Hie Sen Interest
latltt .
Atlanta Countitution £\d.
The 8 per cent, interest or usury bill, is
still discussed in commercial circles, but
the banks have about reached a conclusion
in the matter of the law and its effects. It
lias been fully examined in all its details
! by competent attorneys and every decision
!of the courts that could affect its proper
' construction has been consulted. The re
sults are in tliu hands of the bankers and it
remains to be seen how each ol them will
act in the premises.
WIIAT O.NK HANK WII.I, DO.
A reporter of The Constitution yester
day stepped into one of our largest and
best banking institutions and met its pres
ident.
‘•What are yu going to do about the
new interest bill?”
“Wc are going to disregard the law in
toto !” replied the banker.
•* Well, what then?”
” Why, we shall simply go on as wc
have (lone heretofore and transact business
just as though no such law had ever been
passed. When it comes time to make our
semi-anitual reports to the governor wc
will make them and swear to them as cor
rect. If ii is demanded that wo shall make
the full oath with regard to having violat
ed, any law of the slate, we shall swear
i that wo have violated this law by taking
! more interest than it allows.”
Is there no penalty for the violation
*• There is a penalty for not making the
report, but that we will make. The only
penally for violating the law is that pre
scribed in the law itself—the forfeiture of
the interest- —and the state itself does not
assume to enforce that.”
Swj.poHo your patrons do nol-*'
There is little danger of that. There
is not one in a hundred who would do it.
After agreeing to the contract it becomes
a matter of commercial honor, and lie
would be the greatest loser should lie vio
late it. <>ur best customers among the
merchants of the city say they propose to
spot every man who takes advantage of
this law, and will shut down on his credit.
They favor keeping a black list of all such
men. llow that may he is no concern to
us. Wo will take all the risk that follows
our transactions and bear all the losses.
We are not afraid of the result.”
We arc informed that nearly all the
other banks have reached the same conclu
sion, and that this treatment of the law
is almost certain to become general in t In
state. In that event, it will prove the
deadest of dead letter laws.
A BANK CONVENTION.
It is noticed that the bank people in Ma
con have issued a call lor a meeting of the
bankers of the state at an early day to
consider this law. It is hardly probable
that the meeting will result in much of im
portance, even if it is held. We think
none ot the Atlanta bankers will partici
pate, as they consider that the time lor
concerted action lias passed. They would
have joined in an organized effort to deteat
the hill before its passage, now they con
sider the matter of its evasion to be one of
individual responsibilities and every opera
! tor must take bis own road out of the
wilderness. At present some of the
: bankers in the interior are much disturbed
i over the provisions of the bill, but it is
likely that they will all conclude that they
can risk its penalties and will go forward
as heretofore regardless of the act.
IT DOES NOT AFFECT NATIONAL HANKS.
Olio of tlic strong points urged upon the
governor in favor of the veto of the hill
was the fact that it is inoperative as against
national banks. It is this fact, now that
the hill has become law, which moves the
state hankers to disregard it. They be
lieve that such a discrimination in law is
unconstitutional and cannot he upheld
upon a square issue. There are many de
cisions which take the national banks out
of the operations of the usury laws of a
state, hut perhaps the most pertinent is
that rendered by the supreme court of the
United States, October term, 1575, in the
case of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Na
tional Bank vs. Hearing, in which the
court says : " Contracts made with the na
tional banks are not controlled by the
usury laws of a state, hut by the act of
congress, which declares a simple forfeit
ure of the interest illegally reserved.”
This decision is the standard one relied
upon by the national banks and will show
how the new Georgia law oppresses home
hanks.

burned at the stake by the cotton planters.

The conservative Hoston Herald sums up
thus : " The result in Ohio thins out the

settles Thurman, who ought tohavo been a
wiser leader, and Ewing, who also had
hopes. The Ohio election foreshadows a
similar result in New York, which weakens
Tildeti’s ehnnees for a nomination, while
it makes a nomination less valuable. It
brings Sherman to the front on the Repub
lican side. and. by increasing the confidence
of the party, exposes it to the clanger of
taking an untenable position in favor of
centralization.”

Augusta Eveuing News: A South
Georgia paper says that Col. G. J. Fore
acre lias taken more second class roads
and made them lirst class than any man in
the Union. It further states that recently
he was offered the Governor Generalship
of the railroads in Switzerland, with the
privilege of naming his own salary, but de
clined. We learn that there is quite a
feeling in South Georgia in favor of bring
ing Col. Foreacre out for Governor. While
we have no doubt that he will peremptor
ily decline the use of his name in that con
nection, we cannot forbear stating that he
would make a No. 1 Governor. He is a
self made man. a man of tirmness. decis
ion and force of character. He would guide
the helm of the State with a firm hand
amid all dangers, and manage the affairs of
the Commonwealth with ” Wisdom, .Jus
tice and Moderation.” But can the rail
road world do without him ?
Wnm-nton Clipper : There are promi
nent men in this section, and among our
readers, too, who think Colquitt got part
of the Murphy fee. We would hate very
much to pronounce these gentlemen "ca
lumniators and malignant liars.” There
is another class who think his honesty, in
seeking investigation, and his readiness to
allow his worst enemies to thoroughly in
spect his acts and motives, save him from
all criminality ; but they honestly think
him incompetent to he Governor. This
class are numerous, and highly respectable.
We would hesitate seriously before stig
matizing them as " calumniators and ma
lignant liars.” Indeed, if those, who dif
fer from us in opinion, are to he thus judg
ed. we lay down the same rule to he judged
by ourselves. There is no escape from it.
Agaiji. if these two classes are incapable of
judging what kind of a man is capable of
being Governor, then they tnu.-t seek
wiser advisers than the followers and sup
porters of Colquitt.
