The iteoent Elections. We have seen nowhere, as yet, com plete returns from the elections held on the Bth instant, in Ohio, Indiana, lowa and West Virginia, but the facts seem to be that the Democrats lost the state ticket in Ohio by a majority xif about 5,500, but elected eleven of the twenty members of Congress. In Indiana the Democrats increased their majority in the state, but elected only six members to Congress, of the other seven mem bers from this state just elected, six are llebublicans and one is a National or Greenbacker. In lowa the Republican majority was large. In West Virginia the Democrats carried the state by a reduced majority and elected all three of the members to Congress. On the whole, the Democrats made a gain of several members for the next Congress, but did not poll the vote that was ex pected. The Greenbackers elected two or three members, which, considering the noise they have made, is a very poor showing. It is said that the Green back Republicans, while pretending to act with the Greenback Democrats, in making nominations, went back on them on the day of ihc election and voted the straight Republican ticket. So are all Dem rats fooled, who wonder off af ter strange idols. It is thought by some that the loss of the stifle of Ohio, considerably damages the p rospects of Thurman for the Dem ocratic nomination for the Presidency in 1880, and brings Hendricks to the front. Gathering up Clothing- in New York for the Fever Sufferers. New York, October 10.—Early this morning between thirty and forty wagons started up town to collect what clothing the citizens of New York bad prepared for shipment to the suffering victims of yellow fever in the Southern cities. A large corps of messengers were sent ahead of the waghns to notify the residents to have their bundles ready, and therefore there was no delay when the wagons called at the houses, and they quickly began to fill with packages of ail sizes and shapes. At many houses four, five and six bundles were handed out, while in more than one instance a whole trunkful of cloth ing was ready for the collectors. Among the articles received were clothing, hats, shoes, blankets, sheets, quilts, pillows, etc. A party of little girls sitting on the steps of a church offered their bon nets, shawls, and cloaks. The most prominent firms contributed ti e serv’ces of their horses, wagons, and drivers. The committee estimate that the col lections to-day will amount to 6,000 cubic feet. It will take several days to get over the entire city. A Puzzle. Perhaps some of our young readers are not familiar with the following puz zle : A young man asked an old man for his daughter in marriage. The answer was, “Go into the orchard and bring in a parcel of apples, (live me one-half of the whole number, and the mother one-half of the balance and half an apple over, and the daughter one-half of the remainder and half an apple over, and have one left for yourself without cutting an apple, and, then, if she is willing, you can have her.” He solved the question and how many did lie bring ? Fourteen as you can easily prove. The old man was to have one-half of the apples, which would be seven. The mother was to have one-half of the balance, which would be three and a half, and half an apple over,‘which would make four ap ples for her. There wnu’d be three apples left of which the daughter was to have one-half and half an apple ov er, which would be her two, and leave the lover his one, “without cutting an apple.” . ■ ——■ ———• Hon. Wm. E. Smith has written an epen letter to ('. H. ('. Willingham, denving the charge "that he (Smith t favored Felton’s election. This denial was not necessary here, but it may he in the Seventh. When Toombs and Stephens countenance Felton s candida cy some men might be green enough to imagine that Tc-te Smith would, but Tete has more sense and principle than j to do such a thing. The State, Credit. As every citizen of Georgia is inter ested in the welfare of our state, and would probably like to know how we stand, financially, we copy the follow ing interesting correspondence on the subject from the Atlanta Const it ul ion. New York, October 8, 1878. lion. J. IV. Renfroe, Treasurer of the State of Georgia, Atlanta.— Deak Sin : I halve heard it stated by citizens of your State that Georgia was able to liquidate her entire State debt by sell ing what property she owned. It' such be the fact, or anything near an ap proximate to such statement, it is just ly due to the credit of the State to have such fact officially announced—so that the State and the bondholders may equally share in the benefit arising from such publicity. It is my opinion that if such a sound condition of your State was generally known in this mar ket, your bonds would appreciate ma terially; Georgia sixes would sell much higher, and what is called the new 7 per cent, bond, having a collateral se curity by a first mortgage on a first rate railroad owned entirely by the State of Georgia, should sell in this market at from 115 to 120. I trust you will pardon me if my views should be ill-founded, etc. I am yours, very truly, A. B. Burbank. 104 East Broadway. treasurer renfkoe’s reply. State of Georgia, Treasury De partment, Atlanta, Ga., Oct., 11, 1878. Mr. A. B. Burbank, No. 104 E. Broadway, New York.—My dear sir: I have just received your letter of the Bth inst., in which you wish to know if statements that have been made to you by citizens of Georgia are true ; that Georgia owns property enough to liqui date her debt, and if this is true, it should generally be made known, and would have the effect to increase the value of our Georgia bonds. 1 am pleased to get your letter and hasten to reply, and I think you will agree with me that the facts of Georgia’s financial condition are such as to legiti mately warrant purchasers of securities to pay the highest price for her bonds. The debt of the State is $10,444,500, and the taxable property $236,659,530. The State owns two railroads that are very valuable, (besides other prop erty,) viz : The Western and Atlantic railroad, worth $8,000,000; the Macon and Brunswick railroad worth $2,000,- 000. The first, the Western and At lantic railroad, is leased to a company that pays the State an annual rental of $300,000. It is the main trunk line connecting Georgia with the West, and one of the main short lines to the North. There is no more valuable railroad property in the South. The M aeon and Brunswick railroad is steadily increasing in value. The State has been offered a million of dol lars for it, but it is worth two million. But let us suppose that I have over valued these two valuable railroads. Estimate the Western and Atlantic at six million, and the Macon and Bruns wick railroad at one million, and the aggregate is seven million, leaving but a little over three million not covered by assets. Under the new constitution the State is forever barred from making any new debts, while she is annually paying off the existing indebtedness. The income of the State not only pays the expenses of the State government and the inter est on the public debt, but liquidates from two to three hundred thousand dollars of the principal yearly. As an evidence of the improving financial con dition of the State, I may mention that for a number of years it has been nec essary during the summer months be fore the taxes begin to come in, and when a heavy instalment of interest on the public debt becomes due to make a temporary loan to bridge the deficiency. This temporary loan has been steadily decreased until this year, none at all had to be made, thus saving interest to the State. To recapitulate; with a debt of $lO,- 444,500, being only one-twentv-third of the taxable prorperty of $235, 659,- 530, with assets-sufficient, if sold, to pay off' the debt; with a constitutional prohibition against the further increase of the debt; with an income that pays expenses and diminishes the debt year ly, it will be seen that no better .and stronger securities invite the invesment of the world, than the solid bonds of Georgia. Very respectfully. J. W. Renfroe, Treasurer. Glib-tongued gentlemen go about the Western States in pairs represent ing to the farmers that they are com missioned by the Bureau of Agriculture to obtain minute statistics. They make entries in their hi oks, stay to dinner or over night, insist on paying for their lodging because they are employed up on government service, and pass coun terfeit X’s upon their hosts, receiving the change in good money.— Jforlhern Exchange. A few years ago these same “glib tongued” knaves would have been can vassing the Southern States, as candi dates for Governor or members of Con gress. But, thanks to the sturdy Dem ocracy, that sort ofcattle have now to “ply their vocation” at home.—Savan nah .Yews. Two of Collector Clark s deputies, Hendrix and Brown, have just returned to Griffin from a raid, bringing with them fourteen barrels of illicit whiskey, five wagon's, ten mules, six horses and one buggy.
