What was Saved toy a Purchas
ing Agency.
The iYntrulia (Ill.) Democrat, says
t‘H' fanner’s Central A s socia t ion of Cen
tralis* have a purchasing agency connect
ed with their Association, allowing the
•b.vut three of five per cent, commission
f<* soles on manufacturers' prices for ag
ricultural implements. The territory of
the Association is thirty mile* square,
sal within that limit there are twelve
business points. The value of imple
ments sold the past season amounted to
T.U.&90. The average commission receiv
ed t*y agents heretofore, has been thirty
f cent, and so his commission on this
s»ount of sales at thirty per cent., would
here been $28,050. Hut ot five per cent.,
the prices agreed on between the Amo-
«ution ami the purchasing agent, his
lommissions only amount to $1,676.50.
Thus the farmers, within the thirty
buWs square. have saved through this
purchasing agency $2J,2S2^k\ being the
difference between $28,050 and $1,67.650;
bed it may be proper to state that none
of the above figures cover the sales of
•agon* manufactured outside the terri
tory embraced in this statement. The
lYmoemt adds that the total expenses of
every description of the Association since
it* organisation, have ouly been $101 AX
Macon Finances — The Skies
Bright in the Cotton States.
After a personal conference with all
of the 1 jankers of our city, it affords ns
real pleasure to state, by authority, that
up to the present moment, not a dollar
has been lost by any of them in conse
quence of the New York failures. In
deed, on the contrary, the bonks here
have borrotced faxwnore in. New York than
they o«e€, and the balance is in their fa
vor instead of against them.
Moreover, the assets and available re
sources of each are Abundantly sufficient
for any emergency, and they still afford
the usual accommodation to their friends
and patrons, though acting with com
mendable prudence and nwtion,
The disasters reported at the North,
one of our most experienced and astute
financiers declares, are almost entirely
confined to those institutions which Jiave
speculated heavily in railroad securities,
and other stocks. The bonks of the Gulf
States have confined their operations
wholly to transactions based upon cotton,
and the crop of ootton alone, estimated
to be worth forty millions, affords the
amplest security for every cent of her in
debtedneas.
There is nothing then in the monetary
situation at off alarming, though the
•price of the great staple, and trade gen
erally, must bo more or leas affected
for a few daya to oome, until ootton
begins to move freely. It should also
be remembered that our merchants for
the most part, have already completed
the purchase of their hill stocks, and
upori the most favorable terms where
risis was required. So, in no event, can
they be touched by the present financial
difficulties.
And now, a single word to such planters
as have contracted obligations, based
upon tho delivery of cotton. If they
value their own good name, or ever hope
for future accommodation, let them come
promptly to the relief of tho merchants
who supplied the moans for the cultiva
tion of their crops. 'When these prom
ises are fulfilled, and not before, they are
at Jil>erty to hold the remainder of their
cotton for higher prices. Nor is it cer
tain, if they act thus, that their produce
will be forced off on a declining market,
os tho presence in toarchoute of the article,
may be all that is required for tho prerf-
nt in the premises.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Some Interesting Facts About the
Hultimorc and Ohio Railroad.
Gath,” in a late letter to the Chicago
Tribune, written from Oakland, Md., on
the line of the aliove mad, relates some
interesting facts in it' history. It was
the first mud in the United States to
moke the es «iy of crossing the moun
tain* ; the first in America, to sell its se
curities in Europe; and about the only
road which wus built out and out by bus-
ncad men, untrammeled in any way by
politicians. It would have been com-
plated in 1S40, and thus have got the
start of its three Northern rivals by ten
years, but for a fuss with a canal compa-
s to the right of way, which little
circumstance delayed it on the Lower
Potomac several years. The stock was
for solo at 35 and 40 cents on tho dollar
in 18T>0; to-day it is scarce at 170. Its
grades are the steepest, and its summits
the highest, on* the AHeghanics; it has
more tunnels than any other American
Iway; its fraught* between the East
and West are tho lowest; and it is oper
ated with less expense than any other
trunk line. Past Oakland there is one
almost uninterrupted train going day and
ght; the road is double-tracked nearly
all the way. It has not been until with
in two years that any effort has been
made to make this road a first-class pas
senger route; but under the direction of
tho youngest Vice President, Keyaer—
who, like the present acting President,
John King, is a relative of Mr. Garrett—
nearly $1,000,000 has l*oen set apart for
hotels and costly depots, of tho most
modem character, at Washington City,
Relay, Cuml>erland, D ?er Park. Oakland,
and Parkersburg. Day porlo** cars are to
be put upon through trains next winter,
and passenger locomotives are to bum
only anthracite cooL
The Lumpkin Independent says the
caterpillar has done more damage this
year in that county than was ever before
known in one season.
The same paper is rather dubious about
the Grangers, as it can’t make out exact
ly what specific relief farmers will gain
by joining them. It says, however, that
"the whole thing is not too much wrapped
in mystery for us to say :*’
That if by the Patrons of Husbandry
fanners of the South are to form a close
corporation and partnership with the
farmers and mechanics of the North and
West the whole tiring is impracticable.
The object being to get rid of middle men,
this plan can never accomplish it. In
deed the promoters of this enterprise are
too active in the cause to suit us. We had
as soon risk our mite with an intelligent
commission merchant as to pay a "granger”
for the same service. If we expect to
keep our smoke-house and com. cribs in
the northwest we must expect to pay
somebody to keep those smoke-houses
and com cribs—that is plain. The fact
is, we cannot see what tae grangers can
do for us. Our security lies in not having
anything to do with the northwest. Let
us raise our hog and hominy at home,
spin our clothing at home and learn to
live at home—then wo will have but lit
tle need of tho grange or any other or
ganisation.
The Constitutionalist, of Tuesday,
learns that the Governor has directed
the Comptroller General to suspend the
collection of the specific tax of $250, lev

by the Tax Collector of Richmond county.
More hay has been gathered and housed

The Chronicle and Sentinel of Tues
day, has this item:
Rumored Duel.—It was rumored yes
terday that a duel was on tho tapis be
tween two citizens of Augusta, and that
unless matters were amicably arranged,
a meeting would take place to-day. It
is certain that a letter demanding an
apology for some alleged affronts was
sent by ono party to the other yesterday
morning, and twenty-four hours given
for an answer to be made. That time
will expiro this morning, when a settle
ment will be effected one way or tho
other.
Tine Savannah News of Tuesday says
that "within the past twenty-four hours

As compared with last year, the num

brigs and seven schooners. Last year
there were: Five coastwise steamships,
two barks, no brigs and six schooners.
Tho number of vessels up, cleared and
sailed for this port, as far as heard from
to tho present time, are thirteen ships,
nine barks and four schooners, against
one steamship, sixteen ships, four barks,
two brigs and four schooners, for the cor
responding date last year.

“Been Bankrupt Since the First
Shovel or Dirt was Taken Out.”
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
who has been up in Minnesota for the
past year investigating tho management
and future prospects of tho Northern
Pacific milnxfll tells some ugly things
about tho road and its projectors. He
The Northern Pnoifie Company never
hod any financial standing; it has been
bankrupt from the day the first shovel
full of dirt was taken out. And if the
people had investigated the prosp»*ct« of
the company, they would not to-day be
holding hundreds of thousands of dollars
of its worthless paper. For tho last two
years tho only receipts the Northern
Pacific Company has hod were from the
sales of Iona and its unsecured watered
bonds. There has not been a section of
twenty miles of that road that has- paid
its operating expenses. And, while the
head men of the Northern Pacific have
been keeping up a show of appearances
from the money received from its lion,Is
and its lands, the operators—the laboring
men—have gone unpaid. I have met m?n
on tho line of the Northern Pacific rail
road so poor and so disheartened, that
they wort' in a manner beggars; yet they
were on the pay-roll a* creditors of the
company for months of wages.
Other crimes against humanity are
justlv laid at the door of the Northern
Pacific Company. That company has
employed smart, shrewd, yet unscrupu
lous men to visit the Scandinavian pro
vinces, and deceive and inveigle those
hardy sons of the North into emigrating
to its inhospitable, barren lands. And it
is openly o»"*«Tted in St. Fanl that Minis
ter Cramer. Grant’s brother-in-law, has
best one of these paid agents. Hundreds
of Scandinavians ore scattered alonjj the
line of the Northern Pacific railroad, liv
ing in mud hovels, and barely raising
enough provisions in the short season to
subsist on during the long and gloomy
and terrible winter, with no market for
what little surplus they may stint them-.
selves to acquire—whose curses ore lood
and deep against the deception practiced
upon them.
The Chicago Pension Agency.
The Chicago pension agency is an office
under Government worth about $6,000 a
year. It is now held by a Mr. Blakeley,
the editor of an evening journal in Chi
cago. There are three applicants for the
office, which will become vacant soon by
the retirement of Blakeley. All of the
applicants are also editors of evening
Chicago journals of Administration poli
tics. The most noticeable applicant is
Mrs. James A. Mulligan, the widow of
<feo«al James A. Mulligan, who was
killed early in the war at Lexington.
This lady is said to be a person of ac
complishments and’ for some time past
has been one of the associate editors of
tbs Chicago Evening Post- About a month
> «o Mr^. Mulligan saw President Grant
and applied for the office. The President

iNune again to «i* him. She returned t,*
Chicago, did as the President advised,
*nd she h.i now gone to Washington
armed with her credentials and with a
fair chance of obtaining the appointment.
The precedent, should she U- made Jh ii-

disposed to extend their business. There
is apparently no anxiety or disposition to
buy exchange or discount paper. In con
sequence of a religions holiday our Jewish
citizens closed up their places of busi
ness, and as they constitute & material
portion of our business com unity, their
entire withdrawal from business circles
was necessarily felt. Besides, the recent
money panic in New York has hod a de
pressing effect upon financial operations
everywhere. People seem disposed to
wait. They have grown cautious. They
are not all disposed to make an uncertain
step. While we have within ourselves
the means to get along, to raise the nec
essary money, those means seem just now
to be powerless. But we are satisfied
this state of things cannot last, and we
live in the hope that a few days will
make a complete change in our financial
affairs.
Alabama Cotton Crop.—The Colum
bus Sun of Tuesday says:
A prominent ootton merchant who has
just returned from a trip to Montgomery
gives a very blue account of the condi
tion of the cotton crop. From Chehaw to
Montgomery ten to twenty acres will be
required to make a bale, and the rich
prairie country from Union Springs west
is in a worse condition, and no better is
the ce so in other directions. The general
calculation is that Montgomery will re
ceive this season forty to forty-five thou
sand bales, against some sixty-five thou
sand last year. The caterpillars have
done the work. Trade is stagnant.
Jas. D. Collins was nominated on
Tuesday by the Democrats of Fulton coun
ty aa their candidate for Clerk of the Su
perior Court, and was doubtless elected
yesterday.
An Atlanta paper says Milton Malone's
counsel "are endeavoring to carry his case

The Greei-Eyed Monster.

morning about two o’clock, and continued
with tremendous force four hours. The
boat, at the commencement, was in the
Sluice,” about fifty miles above Apa
lachicola. The wind was so violent as to
drive the boat to the shore and impede
her progress. The cabin bad to be lashed
to tie lower deck to prevent its be
ing blown off. Fortunately the steamer
was behind time. Had she been at the
bay she would certainly have been
lost. Where she was the storm
blew the bark from the cypress trees as
cleanly os if shaved by a knife. Torrents
of rain fell, damaging some dry goods for
Apalachicola houses. The steamer left
Apalachicola at 3 p. m. Friday—and hence
liad time to learn the full extent of the
disaster at that place. The tide, increased
by the force of the hurricane, ran over
the wharf and flooded all the stores on
Water street, greatly injuring stocks on
the first floor. There are no cellars in the
place. The following merchants were
mostly damaged: E. Labatiel; H. Brash,
dry goods, (l°at most); F. J. Egbert A
Co., R. G. Baker & Bro., A. M. Harris, A.
Murat & Co., John Cook—all after
Brash being grocers. No cotton was on
the wharf to be damaged. All the
oyster boats and fishing smacks are
bottom upwards; four large lumber
barges, one with a pile-driver on board,
and the two steam tugs—Hudson Pet and
Ella—were blown ashore. .The new pilot
boat, Argo, was not heard of while the
Farley was in port. A great many fish
were blown ashore and not a ffew large
moccasins were killed by the people
on the wharf. Several negroes caught
strings of fine trout. The steam saw mill
of Davis, Richard Jc Co. was complete
ly demolished; and that of Cottrel dam
aged ; and that of the Pennsylvania Tie
Company had a tin roof and smoke stack
blown off. Tho Bucknam warehouse lost
roof and side; the Pedee is partially,
and the Mitchell and National wholly
grounded. All were of brick. What is
known as the Columbus Block —it having
been owned by several citizens^ of
Columbus—composed of seven or eight
brick stores—is fairly demolished. The
upper story of J. I. Griffin’s old store is
gone. Osmon’s dwelling house had its
top blown in. Twenty dwelling houses
are reported blown down. The market
house is half gone. “Saint’s Rest.*' the
residence of Captain Dan Fry, is unin
jured, but his fences and orange trees are
among the things that were. Private
grounds were ba«lly injured. All the
orange trees and fences in the place are
down. There were many splendid trees
in the citv. The streets are full of oranges.
The loes.M estimated at $150,000 to $200.-
000—that is the estimate of citizens. No
lives were lost. Mr. C. E. Hochstrasser,
of Columbus, lost a brick store.
The British ship Cefferina which ar
rived at Savannah on Sunday from Liver
pool. brought thirteen cases of brick and
tile machinery for the earthenware man
ufactory of Mr. Henry Stevens, of Mill-
cdgeville.
Among the crew of the British steamer
Chrysolite which amv»d at Savannah on
Monday, were eight borsi whose names
were not on tho muster roll when the
steamer left Liverpool. They smuggled
themselves aboard the «lay before the
at earner left, and hid until she had been
out three or four days and too far from
land for the Captain to put them ashore.
A Dull Day—Little or no Business
, Transacted.—Under this head the
1 Savannah Advertiser and Republican
Matters in New York.
There is still much alarm and confu
sion in the money centres of New York,
and the situation is not as favorable os
reported in our last issue. Several heavy
additional failures have occurred, and
money is held at ruinous rates of interest.
The trouble seems to be extending also,
to some of the interior cities, but at tho
date of this writing has been confined to
Patterson, Petersburg and St. Louis.
Still, there is a feverish excitement and
feeling of apprehension pervading all
classes. Jay Cooke is still reticent and
refuses to be interviewed by tho newspa
per men. It is believed, however, that he
will bo able to resume business again
with tho assistance which will bo afford
ed to him. In Europe a feeling of un
easiness prevails, but no failures have
been reported.
Another huge defalcation, already re
ported by telegraph, has been discovered
in the Union Trust Company, ono of the
suspended bank concerns. Carlton, the
secretary, is non est and with him goes
$350,000. "Confidence” seems to be al
most an exploded word at this juncture,
and men look and act as though the earth
was mined beneath them.
The New York World thus describes
the panic on Saturday last. " The feel
ing on the street was terrible—men
wanted nothing—would have nothing—
but money to live on, and threw confi
dence to the winds.” Tho Sunday issue
of tho same paper has tho following, also,

once:
At the Sub-Treasury early yesterday
morning a crowd was waiting to learn in
what shape would be carried out the or
ders of Secretary Ricliardson to buy $10,-
000,000 of governments, and therefore
supply that amount of legal tender to
those having securities upon which they
could not otherwise realize. The follow
ing notice was found ported upon the
bulletin of the Sub-Treasury:
Notice is hereby given that proposals
to sell to government $10,000,000 of
five-twenty bonds will be received at this
office to-day, Saturday, September 20,
1873. The proposals will be opened at
twelve o’clock noon. The usual regula
tions of the Treasury Department for
purchase of bonds will be observed.
As early as nine o’clock, unfortunately
three hours before the appointed time,
Mr. Wesley, of the Union Trust Company,
came in to offer $982,000 of five-twenties,
and to take his pay fer them' in green
backs at par, proposing to settle after
wards at the lowest prices of the noon
sale. Assistant Treasurer Hillhouse could
not find in his instructions any authority
for this accommodation. General com
ment had it that an unnecessary close
construction of the Secretary’s order was
made. The effect at least was disastrous
to the Trust Company, whose suspension
until Monday is elsewhere recorded. The
bids were made in the usual form at noon,
and the following is a correct list of the
awards and prices:
Van Schaick & Co..$762,000 at 110.50;
Francis T. Walker, $18,000 at 111; Ed
ward Sweet & C$11,500 at 111.12;
Weston A De Billiu, $5,000 at 110.50;
George F. Baker, cashier, $147,000 at
111.12}; Vermilve Sc Co., $500,000 at
110.99 to 111.12; W. F. Hitch A Co.,
$150,000 at 109 to 111; Reid A Content,
$13,400 at 111.24; Chase A Higginson,
$100,000 at 110.54; Wood A Davis, $400,-
000at 111.25. The highest offer accepted
was thus 111.25, and the total solo $2,-
507,000. There was abundant complaint
that purchases at higher rates were not
made, and it was asserted that the actual
purchases had no very perceptible effect
in relieving the market, though individ
ual houses have secured themselves or
the firms for which they acted by the
sales. The following dispatch was re
ceived in the streets later in the after
noon:
Washington, September 20.—It may
be announced on the highest possible au
thority that should the order for the pur
chase of $10,000,000 bonds fail to check
the financial excitement, it has been de
cided by the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue any part of the $44,000,000 reserve
necessary to restore confidence.
At the latest moment last evening. As
sistant Treasurer Hillhouse had received
no intimation of such an intention from
Washington, and no orders whatever con
nected with government help for the
market. It was declared by a prominent
broker yesterday that nothing to be done
by the Secretary of the Treasury would
help the stress except the sale of say
$5,000,000 gold, the proceeds of which
sale should be left with the gold on de
posit with the purchasers.

Agassiz and all the great physicists of
the Old World and the New would have
been thrown into & state of feverish ex
citement had they heard the rumor that
was current on our streets this morning.
The report was that a human skull had
been found imbedded in a body of rich
silver-bearing quartz in one of the Corn-
stock mines. Such a phenomenon would
have upset all the accepted theories and
overtuned all the well-established facts
demonstrated by the researches of mod
em science, and, hearing that the skull
was in the fine cabinet wf Tinker A Shep
ard. at the Palace Saloon, we repaired
thither to ascertain the facts in the prem-
is<«. There we found a large human
skull, thickly coated on one side with
rich sulphurets of silver, and, upon in
quiry. ascertained that the curiosity was
found in an old drift of the Ophir mine,
some years ago, by the late Judge Bald
win. The skull was found at a point
where the drift had cut through a rich
vein of sulphurets, and hence its coating.
How it got there is still a mystery, and
will perhaps remain so forever.—Virginia

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Crisis in Richmond.
Richmond, Va., September 24.—The
Dollar Savings Bank closed this morning.
Isaacs, Taylor A Williams, bankers,
suspended on account of the scarcity of
currency. Tlieir assets are double their
liabilities. In both the above concerns
the stone cutters employed at the gov
ernment stone yard were depositors to a
large amount. There is considerable ex
citement in the neighborhood of the va
rious lunk-s. There was a run of small
depositors on the b inks, but all are hold
ing out as yet and ’rill doubtless weather
the storm through the day.
The Freedman Savings Bank require the
legal notice as also other private institu
tion.
A general meeting of the members of
the Chamber of Commerce, Corn, Ex
change and Tobacco Association and lead
ing merchants will be had at 10 o’clock
to consider the state of affairs and adopt
some measure to strengthen public confi
dence.
Later from Richmond.
The meeting of merchants and manu
facturers, including members of the vari
ous commercial associations of this city,
held at one o’clock, wa- the largest gath
ering of the kind ever held in Richmond.
The greatest interest was manifested in
the present financial crisis.
A series of resolutions was adopted,
with great unanimity, in effect os follows:
That the present condition of affairs in
Richmond lias arisen from causes and in
fluences external to the banking and
mercantile business thereof, and in no
wise attributed to irregular operations,
or under expansion on the part of banks
or merchants.
That the banks of the city are at present
believed to be of undoubted solvency and
that no loss can result to creditors if
banks are allowed to proceed as hereto
fore.
That the meeting deprecates the un
easy feeling prevailing in the city as
tending to produce a panic and a run
on the bank.’, thereby being likely to
cause their suspension os well as to ar
rest and overthrow all business.
That in view of the undoubted solvency
of the banks and to prove their confidence
therein, the members of this meeting
pledge themselves to abstain from run
ning the bank.', and confine themselves
to strictly regular and necessary checks
and drafts in the course of business, ma
king them as limited as practicable, and
continue, a.- heretofore, to make deposits;
and that they urge upon all persons hav
ing business’with the banks to pursue a
like course of confidence, thus avoiding
the greatest contingencies of prostration
and disaster.
No further suspensions arc reported.
The banks all held out till the closing
hour, paying np promptly. The excite
ment has greatly subsided.
The Financial Situation in New York.
New York, September 25.—Brown A
Watson have suspended.
Two o’clock—All quiet about the sav
ings banks throughout the city. No sus
pensions of payment have occurred to
day. The directors appear to be more
confident.
Two and a half million loan certificates
were issued by the Clearing-house.
The Government bought over $2,500,-
000 of bonds.
3.50 p. m.—The street is very quiet at
this hour. The day closes hopeful, but
rather gloomy.
The Situation in Charleston.
Charleston, September 24.—-Money
is so stringent here that no obligations
are contracted. All business is in limited
amount. There is some demand for cot
ton at low figures, but difficulty in ne
gotiating exchange stops «ales, and the
relief from tbit source is slow in coming.
Factors wonM. at the moment, accept low
rates for most articles of produce.
Paper falling due is renewed in full or
with a small payment on account, and
creditors are disposed to be Indulgent.
No failures have been reported. The
bonks pay checks as usual, and there lias
not been the first symptoms of a ran.
The Crisis in Milwaukee.
MiLWAUKEE,SepU*mber 24.—T ne Cham
ber of Commerce adjourned to Monday,

lion.*.
We find the following in Monday’s
Western press dispatches from New York,
in the Nashville Union and American, of
Tuesday:
This language, “This is none of my
funeral,” which was attributed to Secre
tary Richardson, last evening, seems this
morning to have been made by a leather
merchant, who was present at the con
ference, and who was asked to state briefly
the views of the Secretary of the Treasury
in answer to his questions. The mer
chant replied, the Secretary as much as
said this is none .of his funerall and he did
not feel inclined to assist.
Reverdy Johnson met with several
bankers yesterday, and at his dictation a
letter to the President was prepared. It
recited in brief the salient point of the
emergency, the want of money and the
opinion of the best financiers of the coun
try that a draft upon the currency reserve
would remedy the difficulty. The legality
of such a step might be questioned, but
the situation, he thought, was such that
an exercise of the supreme law of public
safety was amply warranted. The letter
recited the two great instances of viola
tion of the English Constitution in cases
of similar emergency, namely, the sus
pension of the habeas corpus and the Peel
currency act. An instance of a more
modern date was also given, that of the
issue of five million dollars during the
Black Friday panic on the order of Presi
dent Grant. The people warranted you
in this stretch of power by a re-election
unparalleled in the history of the coun
try,” said the letter in conclusion.
The letter had great weight with the
President, but the question of the issue
of the reserve to the city banks was de
cided in the negative. Notwithstanding,
after the letter was read by the President
and Secretary Richardson, Senator Mor
ton met Mr. "Johnson and the latter said
to the Senator: "I have reason to believe
that the Sub-treasury act, which alone
roc^ulatca the power to designate deposi
tories, was repealed by the act of July
3,1869. It is a short section and had
escaped my notice until to-day.”
To this Senator Morton made answer:
"The question with the President has
been not so much the legality of the step,
Secretary Richardson has affirmed that
all along. How to get the money into
tiie bonks has been the real difficulty that
finally decided him in the negative.
Commodore Vanderbilt made a propo
sition that the President authorize the
Secretary of the Treasury to place $30,-
000,000 of the legal reserve in the banks
of this city, and on that condition he
(Commodore Vanderbilt) would add $10,-
000,000.
President Grant replied that he was
anxious to do all in his power to relieve
the present financial embarrassment, and
to prevent the impending disaster. He
must, however, conform with the Consti
tution.
