The Democratic Kxecnlive Coni-
taflt^e ot Schley county are request
ed to meet at the court house in
Kllsvilie on the 24th Inst., tor the
traOSactioti of stuiii business as
- may come before them.

WJiyjnpt put Ward on the letir-
cd list' with Grant? lie seems to
Mre not even a paltry $16,000 a
year left. And there is poor Jim
.Keen, too, and VUliard. Let them
all retire.
I'r is stated that five out of the
six Michigan Democrats in Con
gress bare decided to inform their
constituents that in their opinion
the only way to save the Democrat
ic party is to nominate Speaker
Carlisle for the I’residencv.
Some idea of the rich hnrvcstChi-
csgo will reap from the bolding ot
the two national conventions in
that city may be gathered when it
is stated that the 1‘biladclphia del
egates will pay $628 per day for
hotol accommodations alone.
Col. 11. W. Habersham says that
his ancestor, lion. James Haber
sham, planted the first cotton
grown in Georgia at Bcthcsda.
That ho procured the seed from
Bermuda and made the experiment
for the purpose of ascertaining if it
oould not be mado more profitable
than the silk, indigo and other pro
ducts to which the people of the
State were then devoting their at
tention.
It is doubtful if Florida will make
a State exhibit at the New Orleans
Exposition. There is no appropria
tion to cover the expenses, and
thcro appears to bo some dissatis
faction as to what lias been done
so far. The Savannah, Florida and
Western Kailway will probably
make an exhibit in which Florida's
products and resources will form a
conspicuous part. The Savannah,
Florida and Western Kailway paid
tbo debts incurred by Florida at
the Atlanta Exposition. Tbo fact
of the inability of the States’
Manager to obtain money from the
State was telegraphed to Col. 11. S.
Haines,nud that gentleman prompt
ly sent tho money to pay the debts.
Tbo color question has been giv
ing tho Republicans Infinite trouble
at nearly nil their State and dis
trict conventions this spring, and
it seems that they arc not dono
with it yet. It is understood that
the half-and-half delegation from
Mississippi will represent tho name
of ex-Senator Bruce, now Register
of the Treasury, to the Chicago
Convention as a candidate for Vico
President. It is stated that Bruce
Sis to modest too use any otfort to
obtain the second placo on the
tiokot, but that ho has expressed
his determination not to decline
tho honor should it be tendered to
him. If the Republicans have any-
feeling of gratitude towards the ne
gro race, which has so often saved
their party from defeat, they will
nominate Bruce tor Vico President.
Blaine and Bruce ought to be a
strong Republican ticket.
THE Vf" Y TfTlIO IT.
The citizens of Bartow county
having organized an Immigration
Sooiely, now propose to make a
complete exhibit of the rcsoutces
of thoir county at the New Orleans
Exposition and distribute at that
time several thousand descriptive
pamphlets sotting forth the advant
ages of their county, and for this
purpose have determined to raise a
fund of $1,000. This is the way
to do it, and wo have no doubt but
that theiigaopU of Bartow will be
repaid a hundred per cent, ou the
investment thus made. It is by
such means that Florida has peo
pled her territory and enhanced the
value of her real estate. Lire men
like,to live in live places, and the
way to aeoure immigration is to
show talth in your own section by
works. If the people of Sumter
are wts«, they will imitate the ex.
ample of the people of Bartow. '
PUBLIC PAUPERS.
It now seems probable that Gen.
Grant will be placed ain the retired
listofarmy ofllccrs with a salary
isltes amounting to $20,-
ear. This is to be done
because lie bad the misfortune to
lose, as thousands of others have
done, his fortune iu speculations.
The people of this country ba'c not
been ungrateful to Gen. Grant, and
have showered upon him honors
and emoluments such ns no other
officer ever received, and it seems
to us that whatever debt ot grati
tude the country owes him has
been fully paid. It is not the duty
or the province of the government
to support a list of public paupers
and make good to them their loss
es in business. Other distinguish
ed officers of tho government, who
have rendered as valuable ser
vices as ever did Gen. Grant, have
been allowed to live in poverty
after their official terms expired;
but Gen. Grant Ims not even the
excuse of poverty, for he lias an as
sured income of. $16,000, a sum
which would satisfy the wauls, of
thousands of as able men as he.
Had he remained in the army there
would he some justice in placing
him on the retired lisl; but he
Chose to resign his high position in
the army and take the office of presi
dent at a salary of $50,(100 per year,
and thus forfeited ail claims to the
emoluments uf his high military
office. We are opposed to thus
creating a class of public paupers,
as incompatible with the principles
of our form of government, and
setting a precedent that will work
evil in the future. If General Grant
was a true patriot lie would not ap
pear in the role ol a public beggar,
but would retire upon bis income
of $15,000 per year, which is suffi
cient to meet all legitimate wants.
There are millions of people in this
country who would consider them
selves rich with sucli an income,
and it is no less than robbery to
tax them to make up the losses of
a man who has seen fit to risk an
ample fortune in speculative gamb
ling.

THE! OKTL.Y
A FINANCIAL PANIC IN NEW YORK.
it begins lo look as though the
bottom was falling out in Now
York. Tho recent failures of A r il-
laul, Keene, Marino Bank and
Grants k Ward showed that tho
speculators in stocks were coming
to grief. They were, however, but
the forerunners of greater failures;
and Wednesday a financial shock
shook Wall street to the founda
tion and cuine near precipitating a
financial panic Hint would rival that
that of 1873.
Wednesday morning Ihe stock
market in New York oponod five
points lower than the close of the
day before.
In the first half hour flvo Wall
street firms suspended, though
none of them wore largo ones. At
about 12 o’clock the Metropolitan
hank closed its doors, and shortly
after Mr. George 1. Scncy, ids son
ami son-in-law failed. Eight firms
followed and the Phconix' National
bnnk closed about one o’clock.
It the afternoon tho banks held a
meeting and passed resolutions to
sustain each other. Secretary Fol-
gcr, of Hie treasury, hastened to
New York and announced that he
would take the governmeut bonds
embraced in the pending call at
once. The panic was thus stayed
and the exchange closed with much
better feeling.
We suppose those pure patriots
who voted against reduction in the
tariff prefer to reduce the surplus
in the treasury by pensioning un
fortunate speculators.
This being the regular picnic \
season, I deem it right and
proper to treat my patrons aud
the public generally to one of
the nicest picnics ever held in
Americus. I do not propose to
furnish any cakes, candy or
carcasses of mutton and veal,
but I do propose (and I hope
everybody will accept the in
vitation) for you to come to my
store,select anything you please
out of my well, and perhaps the
best selected stock of Dry
Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Hats
and Notions in the city, and I
will price these goods so low
that not alone you can’t help
from buying them, but every
body who lias his (or her) heart
in the light place must admit
and will say, that this is as!
