Mississippi will elect three railroad mentinour financial and commercial commissioners and legislature, condition. President II. W. Cannon, of the Chase National bank, takes the same position, lie says : We have, during the spring and sum mer, been dealing with Europe on a casli basis. *nd we must continue to do so for sometime to come. Fortunately the condition of affairs is such that they in turn must deal with us on the same basis, aud they will be compelled to make heavy remittances in gold in pay ment for our grain and produce, which is now moving. This will be of great assistance to the busiuess interests of And now silver is going to England under orders for purchase. This does not correspond with Mr. Sherman's prophecy that America would be the dumping ground of the silver of Europe. ! jj, e country, ami undoubtedly do much There is evidently a miscalculation j restore confidence in business cir- somewlicre. cles.” Rutherford H.

And not likely to ho except by her conspicuous absence. M.JOhTt. X. Ely, formerly attorney general of the state and a noted planter of Southwest Georgia, has been at Albany, The major has for months hung around the hotels and public re sorts of tho city presenting a Bad illus tration compared with Ids formor self. The refusal of O'llricn and Dillon to take part in tho Farnell movement has greatly discouraged tho rarnollites, and the chances are they will retire from the field as a political party. Charles Stew art Parnell has led the Irish cause gal lantly for years, and he will bo com pelled now to surrender tho leadership Itp others, In compliance with tho resolution by Mr. Clifton of Chatham, Don. Pat Cal houn will address the legislature next Wednesday, August lk, upon the im portance of Improving tho river and harbors of. Georgia. Tho address will be at 1130 o’clock a. m. Capt. Carter of tho United States navy will probably be present on that occasion. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, who is now traveling in Europe, Id a recent letter from London auggeata that it would be an excellent idea for the English exliibltors at the world's fair in Chicago to attach a tag with the prico of each article In Eng land above the prico of the same article In the United States. The suggestion is an excellent one. Tho difference would very practically and forcibly Illustrate the beauties of the McKinley high tariff, and demonstrate to the people what they are being robbed of by this lniqui tous bill. The Cincinnati Enquirer comes up nobly to the support of Govornor Camp bell after this fashion t "The State con vention arbitrated the disputes lu the Democratic party In Ohio. It rubs out the linos which separate the sections. It sets up tho standard around which all Democrats rally. Tho question of Gov ornor Campbell’s availability is no longer one for discussion In Democratic circles. The convention baa ro-nominated the governor and associated with him ticket Individually and collectively sound and commendable. It has set the pace for all Democratic instrumentali- Imtiuations have been given out In Washington that President Harrison can no longer carry the weight of Wanaraa- ker’a very questionable connection with the Keystone bank failure and defalca tion, and therefore quite plainly Indi cated his deslro to see the Postmaster General’s resignation, with a view to ac cepting it at an early date. It Is now said to be in the executive clutches, and Its fate is regarded as a foregone conclusion. That makes three reported, frith Proctor, Noble and Wanamaker out and Blaine sulking, the Harrison administration appears to need all the bolstering up wich Bro. Platt can give it in New York. Uli. John Foster, of The Tiuks-Ue- cobdkb staff, who was a youthful mem ber of the Burke County Sharp- Shooters, Captain Holmes, In the winter of 1830, participated iu tho first actual warliko movement that openetj hostilities, Tlio company of which he was a member, acting under Governor Brown’s orders, seized the United States arsenal at Augusta, and thus was a par ty to. tho drat overt act of war against the United States. And In this connec tion it Is a historical fact that Governor Brown was really guilty of treason In having seized the Augusta arsenal In ad vance of the secession of Ceoigla, It seems to mo that a good commer cial year in tho United States Is assured. It is possible that there may bo an im provement in Wall street during the coming fall, brought about by the in creased earnings of railroads in moving the large crops anti merchandise in ex change from the manufacturing centers, hut the general financial condition in Europe is likely to he such as to discour age speculation, so that wo may realize what has been predicted by a prominent financial writer—‘dead speculation with live industry.’ ” Mr. John II. Inman is quoted as fol lows : “The sontli has already made a largo crop of wheat and corn In its grain-grow ing sections. The cotton crop promises to be large, but the indications aro that it will be somewhat slow in moving, for two reasons. First, because the season is some ten days later than usual; and second, becauso the price is so low that the planters will not bring to market rapidly. At a satisfactory price a plant er would bring in twenty bales of his first picking, while at a lower price he would probably bring in ten bales to got ready money and hold tlio balance flfctil later. “This, with tho low price per bale which it now takes to movo cotton, will require much less money to aecuro the movements of the cotton crop during the fall months than would otherwise be tho case. This largo crop, liowovor, is of course good for tho railroads, as they will have a large tonnage rogardicss of price." The New York World fills three columns with similar expressions of opinion, all pointing to a general revival of business and easier times this fall and winter. A HAD MOVE. It docs not look well for the Richmond A- Danville railroad company to bo scrambling for every cent of cash they can lay their hands on In tho way of tho receipts of the Central road, and having it expressed to Washington, when the bulk of the money taken from Georgia will have to be paid out here again In a short while. At this season of the year currency begins to move south to pay for cptto'n, and the fact that bank drafts on the east aro not to ho accepted by the Rich mond A- Danville railroad company looks like they are more aDxious to take the actual currency out of tho country than to collect tlieir revenues. That is one of the evils of having headquarters so far away from home, and is a strong argument In favor of our merchants sticking to tho lines that are more willing to reclprocato than tho R. A D. seems disposed to do, judging from the following ordor just issued by them: Richmond A Danville Railroad Company, Operating the Centra^of Georgia—Office of Comptroller, Savannah, Ga., July 81, 1801.— On and after August 1 next (or as soon there after as this order reaches you) make all re mittances by express front your agency to John W. nail, treasurer Richmond A Dan ville railroad, Washington, D. C, Send no drafts, checks or vouchers, but cosh your drafts and cheeks, and remit everything In currency. Until proper remittance envelopes arc fur nished you, use your bags or envelopes for remittances. (five this your personal and prompt atten tion, and remit every dollar possible. Aasxer If understood. Edward McIxtthz, Comptroller. The Central’s receipt* have always been remitted to the Central railroad bank at Savannah, and the checks for operating expenses have been drawn up on the hank here, or the money direct, for the payment of tho employes iu Sa vannah. The new order will make quito a dif ference in the amount of business done by the Central railroad hank. The agents of Savannah have been accus tomed to deposit their cash with the bank daily. Whether the Richmond A- Danville is In immediate need of the money, or what reasons there may be for the order, it was impossible to learn. The Boston Herald (Independent) hopes that Mr. Crisp may he chosen speaker. It considers him, of all the candidates, the one best qualified for tho office. Among his qualifications It instances "a general courtesy of bearing and a disposition of fairness towards his opponents." - i..». Nebraska will elect associate justice of the supreme court and two regents of the state university. New Jersey will elect part of the senate and the assembly. Ohio will elect governor and other state officers and legislature, aud vote upon a proposed amendment to the con stitution providing (or uniformity of taxation. Pennsylvania will elect treasurer and auditor general, and vote whether a eon stitutional convention shall be held, and elect delegates to the same. New York will elect governor, lieuten ant governor, secretary of state, con troller, treasurer, attorney general, en gineer and suiveyor, the senate, the assembly, ten justices of the supremo court, and a representative in congress from tho tonth district. Maryland, November 3, will elect gov- ernor and other state officers and legis lature, and vote upon six proposed amendments to tbo constitution of the state. Tho first empowers the governor to disapprove separate items in appro priation bills; tlio second restricts the exemption of corporations from taxa tion; the third providos for uniformity of taxation; the fourth relates to tho ■election of county commisslonors; tin; fifth authorizes tho sale of tho state's in terest in all works of internal improve ment, and the sixth empowers the legis lature to pi ovide for the taxa.ion of mortgages, if such taxation is imposed in the county or city where tho mort gaged property is situated. In addition to the above, Kentucky will, on August 3, elect governor aud other state officers and legislature, and vote upon tho constitution framed by the convention which was elected Au gust 4, 1800. Texas, on August 11, will vote upon five proposed amendments to tho con stltution of the state. The first pro vides for the registration of voters in towns of 10,000 populati jn and over, tho socond relates to the maintenance of the common schools, tho third fixes tho maximum rate of interest at 10 per cent, and in contracts where no rate is specified at 0 por cent; the fourth re lates to local option, and the fifth pro vides for establishing two or more civil courts of appeal. THE REASONS WIIY. In regard to tho refusal of ex-Prcsi dent Cleveland to take the stump In Ohio, this fall, a good deal has been said, but the St. Louis Republic states the reasons why very neatly in the following paragraph. If Mr. Cleveland cannot leave home to make speeches In the West, everyone ought to understand that he has excellent non-par - ttsan and unpolitical reasons for staying at home ut present, and because they are strict ly private reasons of is kind he rannoteven hint at ol'lstde of tils family. It Is peculiarly unmanly.to Ignore taein, and at the same tlmec Itlclse him for being goverel by them* It will bo soou that tlio Republican makes It known In a delicate way that tho first Democratic President tho coun try has had in tho past twenty-five years is soon to bccomo a * father, and every true Democrat will wish him happiness, and express tho hope that the young American will make as noblo and honor able a record as his distinguished father. Nc w Oilcan States. Reports from tho cotton crop are varying. Advices received by cotton men said It has been raining hoavily for the last ton days, and old cotton is badly damaged. The early cotton will begin to opon In a few days, A cotton man who Is now traveling through South and Southwost Georgia, reports that the crop is badly “spotted," some fields showing up finely and others very poorly. The rains have been very heavy and continuous, and the cotton has begun to rust and shed. Caterpillars have made their appearance in tho black lands of Alabama. Too much rain seems to be the cause of the trouble. A factor who has just returned from upper middle Georgia reports that the crop there is •mall hut hardy. Very little rain has fallen so far and the crop has suffered more from drought The cotcon is gen erally about two weeks late for the sea son, If tho rains continue tho result will he to greatly shorten and retard the crop, and will encourage rust and cater pillars.—Savannah News.
