Tethe EdiArof the Times,---Dr: sis:s-In
your morning issue we find the following rela-
tive 70 Atlanta: =. -. NJ
The Georgia money seems to be in difficulty
about these days. A terrible run has been made
upon the bank, and by many it was feared it
would DO obliged to shut down. 500
The following article upon the subject is cut
from the last number Of the Ottawa Free Trader :
1t would be useless, we're we so disposed longer
to disguise the fact, that there is terrible shak-
ing among the manufacturers of Georgia Currency
in Chicago. The note of alarm has been sounded,
and the time for the second semi annual explosion
is ut hand. The rush and the run has commenced
and arriving as this currency does now in thousands
upon thousands a day at the counters OF the Chi
eago wildcat bankers, the I" closing" scene is in
evitable and there can be no postponement on ac-
count OF the weather. We should as soon sleep
in a bed full of feas than with pocket full Of
Georgia wildcat. Push it of-Push it of.
The same article iscopied into the Chicago
papers with the important addition---we quote
from memory-No one at all acquainted with
Mr.. Smith fears his ability to redeem all his
issues, and nobody in Chicago does at all fear
to sleep with as much Atlanta as he can get in
his pockets. In addition to this, We would say
that all notes 1--WE quote from letter from a
friend well acquainted with the whole matter
presented have so far miraculously found gold
waiting for them, and we confidently predict
will continue to do so. We have no particular
interest in Mr. G. Smiths issue-we take them
and pay them out, because we believe them
good-but we think it is wrong to create un-
necessary uneasiness in the mind Of the public.
The whole matter is only free fight between
the free banks and Mr.. Smith, in which
we are sure that the latter will not come
out second best.

S1- We had no desire in copying the arti-
Gle to create any unnecessary uneasiness,"
but to put our readers on their guard provided
that anything should occur to the money in
question. Mr.. Smith is undoubtedly good, but
the best of men may sometimes fail, and mas
much as there were rrnors of weakness ON the
part Of the Atlanta money, we considered it
our duty to make the fact known. We would
do the same with any other man, money or
banker.-ED.

q
g A recent enumeration and clas6ifcationof
the present members of the House Of Repre-
sentatiyss, demonstrate the fact that thsre are
1875 ANTI Nebraska or Republican members
to so others who favor Pierce, Douglas. Atch-
ison, and Stringfellow's iniquitous Slavery
scheme. While the Nebraska Bill was on its
passage in the Senate, the advocates Of the
measure cried, "Let the people rule" AT that
time the people were not so anxious to rule, but
discovering the infamy Of the scheme, and the
motives which actuated the leaders, they took
the Douglasites at their word, and have sent
men to represent them in the Halls Of Congress
who will no longer bow, scrape and cringe to
the Slave Oligarchy and the Slavery Propagan-
dists. They are determined to rule, SO far as the
rights Of the North are concerned, and no cry
Of "Abolitionists," "Disunionists," or any other
epithet, will prevent them from budging one
inch from the vantage ground they now occupy.
While the North have been continually con-
ceding to the Slave Power, for the purpose Of
preserving the Union, the South to man have
stood in one body, making the Slavery question
the all-absorbing one, yielding not the eighth
part of an inch, but over-reaching and Destroy
ing solemn compacts in order to enfringe on
the rights Of their northern brethren. This de-
termination Oh the part of the South to over
ride all considerations, to make every thing yield
to ''thc peculiar institution" coupled with the
traitorous conduct of nothern doughlaces, called
out the honest indignation Of feemcn, and the
result is, the House of Representative stands,
Republicans

followers of Kansas cut-throats and Missou-
ri ruffians. Is not the rebuke severe one,
and does it not show that there is virtue in the
masses? Of what use will H. M. Rice be to
Minnesota if elected to Congress with the odds
so greatly against him2 Is it to be expected
that the Republican members will sympathize
with one whose Slavery proclivities are so gen.
orally known ?-who rejoiced over the passage
of the Nebraska Bills-whose organ daily teens
with abuse of the very party he must seek aid
of, if he ever gets to Congress? Will Min
nesota so far degrade herself as to send a man
to act with the minority, when from every hill
top and valley comes the cry Of &c Freedom
Freedom?" We cannot believe tive cannot
believe that the hardy yeomanry of this Terri
tory will in any way give their influence to per-
petuate and extend the baneful institution oil
Slavery. We believe they hate it---every man
in whose bosom burns spark of Liberty hates
it, and he would prove recreant to his OWL
sense of Right and Justice did he not seek to
remove this black mark from the escutcheon
Of our country, and this dark pail from over.

The New Enclanderx.

This fine band of Musicians give Concert in
Empire Hall, this Saturday evening, Aug. Sth.
We have not heard them, but learn from those
who have, that they are unsurpassed by no Com
pany that has ever visited our Territory. The
press speak of them in the very highest terms,
and we feel sure that those who attend their Con-
cert will be amply repaid for their time and mon
ey. We hope that all such innocent entertain
ments as the Concert this evening, will be well
patronized by our citizens.

LAUGH WHEN YOU CAN.-That's the secret of
true happiness. Always laugh when you can.
Never put on sour face and decline the opportu-
nifty. Honest, hearty laughter, keeps wrinkles
from the face, cares from the mind, and grey hairs
from the head. 1t is an evidence of good heart,
for he cannot be wholly dcpraved who can really
and heartily laugh.

An ISroHoR.-A few days since Mr.. P. E.
Dorsey of the Wiuslow House, published a card
warning the public against a young man by the

board bill, and then leaving suddenly, forgetting
to pay. 1t is exceedingly annoying to be thus i'm
posed upon, and it is no more than right that the
mpostor should be exposed.
