first entered the campaign
and entertained some hope of car
rying one or more Southern States,
he was very kind and generous
his remarks toward the South and
professed to be willing to bury the
past; but now that lie is defeated
he rushes forward'as be did in Con

guined garment of sectional hate,
and seeks to fan into flame the dy
ing embers of tbe fires of prejudice.
It is too late, however, to do him
any good or the country any harm,

of corruption, makes a sorry show
in posing as a patriotic alarmist,

In the House, on Wednesday
during tbe discussion of a resolu
tion looking toward the abrogation
of the capitol contract by the com
missioners, Mr. Harrell of Webster,
said that be bad read the report of
tho capitol commissioners, and that
report ought to satisfy any man
who has no interest except the
welfare of the state. This que3
tion will come up at some time
during the session, and it might as
well be met now. Tbe effort to
change the contract so as to use
Georgia -material is an effort to in
crease tbo taxation of the people
of Georgia. As was well said by
a distinguished member yesterday
it is taking money out of the peo-
pie’s pockets and putting it in the
pockets ot n few individuals. The
owners of Georgia material have
bad 1 two chances at the capitol con
tract, and their best offer is $150
000 higher than tho bid which was
accepted.
TWK VALUE OP TRADE ISSUES.
Yesterday a gentleman of this
oity received a letter trom a friend
in Now England, asking for statis
tical information regarding the in
crease of. valuation m property in
Georgia, and- also the number of
miles of iullroadk in the State. The
inquiry was made with a view to
investment of capital in the State.
Tho lettor was sent around
the RecoBdeii office for answer.
We pinked up a Recobdkb Trade
Issue of last year, found tho in
formation wanted, marked it and
sent it. It is probable that hours
might have been spent in examining
various State report^ without being
able to And tho same .information
While the work of Trade Issues
may seem at times slow and nnsat.
isfaotory, it is constantly growing
and extending and will yet bear
fruit.
There is a good deal of difference
in the way you spell it. Mr. Jllaine
waved the bloody shirt, and the
waived it.

OLD ESTABLISHED MERCANTILE HOUSEB, WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE FOUNDED ON INDESTRUCTABLE ROCKS OF
UNLIMITED CAPATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT,
Tottered and Fell in a Day!
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil
drens and^Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy
Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from- 30 to 60 per cent,
of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock Monday Morning
These Purchases will be Put on Sale
and itQwill be. to the interest of every one in this city or country
to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods
you were never offered them in the history ot the dry goods,
clothing, boot and shoe trade.
