Continuing our remarks on the
above topic, we desire to present to
day a few important sml reliable llg-
ures and statistics, to show what may
be confidently counted upon in the
way of freights and tonnage as soon
as the rircr can lie opened up to even
partial navigation. Our figures, it
may be stated, are derived from the
comprising the latest reports from the
census bureau, those furnished by
several local boards of trade and lead

“The Improvement of the Flint. 1 **
No paper in Georgia has ever taken
such a deep anil constant interest in the
development of each and every por-*
tion of our State, or given such valua
ble and timely aid to every budding in
dustry and incipient enterprise,
wherever originated, as the Atlanta
Constitution. Although undoubted
ly preferring Atlanta and its interest*
nbove its chief joy, this very natural
partiality has never deprired tny one
section of Georgia of its valuable as
sistance in the forwarding of any work
of real improvement and progress. It
is not going too far to say that the
liberal appropriations made by Con
gress last year for the improvement of
the Savannah harbor and inlets, the ap
propriations made to Brunswick and
other places, aro due almost as roach
to tlie persistent advocacy of this ubi-
qtiitoua journal, as to tho figures and
logie of our senior Senator, the Hon.
Joseph E. Brown, aided by tho entire
Georgia delegation.
In view of these readily acknowl
edged facts with regard to tho conrso
punned by, and the success that has
generally attended the measures ad-
vocatcd by that paper, it is with gen
uine pleasure that wc notice in its last
issue an editorial on the above sub
ject that cannot fall to attract geucral
attention, and to which we have given
Clipped and Mutilated Coin.
So much lias l»ccn said about the
value of clipped anil mutilated coin or

late report of II. 8. Treasurer Gllfillan
on the subject, may be of interest:
“It is tho practice of sub-treasury
officers to mark gold coins which,

In payment of pnhlic duos, upon being

which liavo been returned by tho treas
ury officials, because below tho least

weighing the same coina over and over

Tsc Atlanta letter of t
pondont of the Savannah Weies has
the following paragraph:
“It is intimated that Got. Stephens
proposes to call the attention of the
banks, whose reports are now before
him for examination, to the practice
of many of them of charging more than
the legal rate of interest. Like the
selling of liquor and gambling, this ia
an evil that no law can sappress.
Money lenders always find some way
of erading nsuary laws.*’
What Gov. Stephens proposes to ef
fect by calling the attention of the
banks to the matter does not appear.
A law that cannot be enforced should
be repealed. Every serious attempt
made to enforce the laws against
usury only adds an additional rate
percent, to the moneylender's charges
to cover increased risk, so called.
There are now too many substantive
offenses in the code of Georgia that
go unwhiped of justice to attempt to
enforce penalties for merely doing as
they please with whatiatheir own.

the Flint was a safe, navigable stream

Treasury to take mutilated coin other

of clipped coin in England in 1695 is
regarded, there probably ncror will be.
Since the action ortho mint in receiv

value by weight, such coin has been
discredited by tho public,2and has
virtually disappeared from circulation.
Silver coins, however mnch reduced in
weight in natural abrasion, are re
deemable at any snb-treasnry at roll

Or the twenty-one banks whoso ro-
poi ts wore synopsized in yesterday’s

The News and Advertises has en
