FOR PRESIDENT,
Gen. W. S. Hancock,
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
"W. H. English.,
OF INDIANA.
FOR GOVERNOR,
Hon. Rufus E. Lester,
OF CHATHAM COUNTY.
Thursday, July 22, 1880.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Wilmington, N. 0., has about twice
as many colored people as white people,
and the former manage their share of
the local government, and own $200,
000 worth of real estate aud $100,000
in personal property.
The Sultan of Zanzibar, weary of
the mere work of reigning Prince, has
become abutiuess man. He has bought
a British steamship and is running it
at cheap rates for passengers and car¬
go beeween Zanzibar and Bombay.
Governor McClellan is quoted as
saying : There is no question about
the success of the Democratic party in
New Jersey next November. With
question the majority, nartv it is onlv will a
or wnnn
probably be between 10,000 and
15,000;
Of the sixty-three millions of stan¬
dard dollars coined only nineteen mil¬
lion are in circulation, the remaining
forty-four million being locked up in
treasury vaults. In the faca of this
condition of affairs the mints are turn¬
ing out abont two million three hun¬
dred thousand a month.
It is stated authoritatively that the
stock of gold in the country at this
time is as follows : In the national
banks about $99,000,000, in the Na¬
tional Treasury about $202,000, in the
hands of the people and <n banks other
than national about $60,000,000. Bo
aides this, it is estimated that there is
in silver dollars aud in fractional silver
currency niloat $100,000,000. Making
u total of about $400,000,000 of com,
a gioater portion of which is gold.
The lower House of the Georgia
Legislature consists of 175 members.
The six most populous counties are en¬
titled to three members; the twenty-,
six next highest counties have two
each; and the remaining couuties have
only one apiece. The next General
Assembly will have to make a new ap¬
portionment of representatives, ou the
basis of the present census. The Con¬
stitution forbids any increase in the
number of members of the douse.
The names of Bishop Lyuoh, of
Chaileston, Bishop Loughliu, of Brook¬
lyn, and Bishop Corrigan, ot Newark,
N. J., huvs beeu submitted to the
Popo by the other Roman Catholic
Bishops, for the selection of a coadju¬
tor to Cardinal McClosky, their prefer¬
ences beiug in order given above. The
coadjutor will rolieve the Cardinal ot
many of his Episcopal duties, and will
have the right of succession to the
Archbishopric.
The Montgomery Advertiser is grati¬
fied to barn from exchanges that
already systematic and intelligent ef
fort is being displayed in the line of
silk culture in this country. Parties
in . North « T Carolina ,, rt have iouud , it .. sum- a
cieutly profitable, even with present
drawbacks, to raise silk worms, and
ship) tue cocoons to Fiance. One gen
tlernan in Raleigh has shipped two 1
bales to Marseilles, each containing
over one hundred pounds ot cbokod j
cocoons.
Philadelphia boys are fined £10 for
tying a tin pan to a dog’s tail, and the
fun is not regarded as worth the cost.
One of the reasons urged by the
counsel of Chastine Cox in favor of his
pardon was the fact of his being un¬
prepared to die. This had no weight
with Gov. Cornell, as it was not his
fault, certainty.
The aggregate cost of the several
bridges that span the Mississippi river
from St. Louis to St. Paul has been
$20,573,000, ranging from $120,000 for
the bridge at Prairie du Chien to $11,-
573,000 for that at St. Louis. The an¬
nual tolls upon the merchandise cross¬
ing the river on these bridges is official¬
ly stated to amount to $2,803,725, or
nearly 101 per cent, on the original
cast.
The National Board of Health au¬
thorities feel very hopeful that the
Southern cities will escape a yellow
fever epidemic this year, It is held
that if a rigid quarantine is maintained
at the various ports against vessels
coming from suspected ports the pre¬
cautions taken by the health authors
ties will keep yellow fever from visit¬
ing New Orleans and Memphis this
summer.
There are four candidates for Pres¬
ident of the United States : Gen.
Hancock, of Pennsylvania, Gen. Gar¬
field, of Ohio, Gen. Weaver, of Iowa,
and Gen. Neal Dow, of Maine. All
have served in the army and reached
the grade of General, but Hancock is
the only regular army officer. In the
grade of service Gen. Hancock is out¬
ranked only by Lieut. Gen. Sheridan
and GeneraLin—Ohief Sherman, he
being the ranking of the three Major
Generals. These candidates are the
representatives of the Democratic, Re¬
publican, Greenback labor and Prohi¬
bition parties in the order named.
Only two are counted ia the race—
Hancock and Garfield; the others will
not get an electoral vote.
Mr. Burchard, director of the mint,
construes the law requiring not less
than two million standard dollars to
be coined each month a9 necessitating
the purchase of two million dollars
worth of bullion, and the coining of
this into standard dollars. As two
million dollars will buy enough bullion
to coin two million three hundred
thousand of standard dollars, the mi
the extent of three hundred thousand
standard dollars each month. Treasur¬
er Gilfillan maintains that the law only
requires the coining each month of
enough bullion to make two million
standard dollars, and differs with Mr.
Burchard, the director of the mint, as
to the proper construction of the silver
law. The latter person, however, being
a silverite, places the most liberal con¬
struction upon the law, and persists in
coining tho two million dollars worth
of silver bullion.
The ballot in London, according to
what the Daily News says, is sadly in
need of reform. The population of
that great metropolis exceeds 3,500,^
000, which, according to our estimates,
would give abont 630,000 voters. Yet
on July 2, the ward of Billingsgate
elected an alderman of London, (who
not only will have impoitant judicial
powers at once, but will eventually,
by virtue of his office, become Lord
Mayor of Loudon), by a majority of
168 in a total poll of 358 votes, Just
think of 358 men electing the Mav or
of a city of 3,500,000 inhabitants—one
elector, in other words, in a thousand
people. As the Daily Ncivs remarks:
“This method of giving a few hundred
people iu a corner of London the
power of nominating a Lord Mayor is
characteristic of the existing method
of London administration.

ful little French story “Piceiola” will

Charney watched over the little giily

A Card lo the Georgia Confeder¬
ates.
Cutiibkrt, Ga., July, 1880.
In the summer ot 1803, Governor
Brown, under a resolution of the Leg¬
islature, sent me to Richmond with
ample preparation to make a com¬
plete roll of Georgia troops who had
entered the service. It was found to
be impracticable at that time on account
of the activity of the departments in
preparation for the campaign into
Maryland and Pennsylvania. I\esi
dent Davis adyised me to postpone it,
and the Governor recalled me. On
account of rapidly accruing disasters,
the effort was never renewed. The
work I performed was lost iu the de¬
struction, by Federal troops at Mil
ledgeville. It is not important now
for the purposes then intended, but the
sentiment survives the cause, and it
will add greatly to the interest and
value of my book of Georgia his
tory and biography if I can get the
information here sought, an account of
the regiments, separate battalions, bat¬
teries and companies, not organized
with others. Also the divisions and
brigades, the field and company officers,
and places or counties from which the
companies went; and the principal en
gagements taken part in. I will glad¬
ly accept contributions from them and
make a clear and synopical account of
each, if the surviving officers will aid
me: The labor will be heavy to me,
but light to them.
I hope in this method to preserve
much that within a few years without
some such effort the grave will forever
exclude from the histo of our grand
old State. Contributions from different
persons about the same command will
not be objectionable, but all should be
concise, brief and legibly written—es»
pecially, proper names.

Honored and Blessed
When a board of eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well known
valuable remeiies, the most wonderful
medicine was produced, which would
cure such a wide range of diseases that
most all other remedies could be dis¬
pensed with, many were skeptical; but
proof of its merits by actual trial has
dispelled all doubt, and to-day the
discoverers of that great medieme, Hop
Bitters, are honored and blessed by all
as benefactors.
