" Wild Cat Money in Gee. gia.

There is every indication that the public SEN
timent of Georgia is hostile 10 the flood of wild
cat trash which er.anates from that State The
people and press of that State seem TO feel the
disgrace that these frauds, perpetrated under the
guise of Georgia laws, are bringing upon their
name. The other day we published an extract
from Savannah paper on this subject and we
now publish an article from the Cherokee Ceor>
gian. which after referring to the Atlanta and In
teriog Bank schemes, says:
IAN We iePose any cor '...uence in the -,.cess :.

give no countenance 10 the circulation of the
bills OF these . Wild cat concerns They are
blots upon the fair escutcheon of our State. and
will sooner or later bring into discredit the cur-
reucy of Georgia. II is 10 be hoped that the
next Legislature viii take steps TO vindicate the
supremacy of our violated laws. We trust they
will do Il, and protect the too coufding and err
suspecting citizens of Upper Georgia from the
losses which we verify believe await the bill
