The True Men Of the
North.

One of our Southern exchanges,
the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, we
believe, has the allowing just re-
marks: l
The radicals may be intimida-
ted by the evident strength of the
conservatives, and, therefore, stop
to consider before they proceed in
their reckless programme. They
may, in their madness, persist, and
go to the length of impeachment
of the President, etc. Should
they dc so, they alone will be re-
sponsible for its effects on our
country responsibility at which
they may well shudder.e2 M n
Our people may be well satisfied
that.tke men who stood by us in
thes&slections are men who may
well be trusted. They will never
desert US. Let us be content, nay
pleased, with the good fight they
have made at the polls, and by
our conduct help them, in every
way we can, that they may go on
to increase in numbers until the
sober sense Of the North settles
these questions for all time to
come. As the majorities, SO far as
heard from, are SO much less over
whelming than we anticipated,
Jet US look hopefully to the people
ofsthe great metropolis of the
country, and of the Empire State,
to overthrow them in the election
in November. The Conservatives
will doubtless be more encour-
aged to work, and we may hope
for splendid results. We will
wait and see.

Much feeling is exhibited
throughout the State of Geor-
gia on the subject of Reputation.
1t is thought an eforl will be
made on the meeting of the Legis-
lature in November, to relieve the
people from the payment of GER
tain debts contracted prior to and
during the war. The plea urged
for Reputation is the loss of slaves
and the failure Of crops. The
amount of property returned in
the State for 1866 is S207, 100000;
in 1860, 62O,322,F77. Loss to
the State, over S4l3, 100000.

SIS. Beaumont, Commissioner
the Metropolitan Police, Memphis,
and two detectives of the force,
were tried a few days ago in that
city, before the Recorder, for con-
spiracy to defraud a merchant out
of a ring, watch and money, AT
ter hearing the evidence the Re-
corder discharged the parties as
not being guilty. On Wednesday,
however, the Grand Jury returned
a true bill against the same par
ties for the same offences, and they
were required to give bail in two
thousand dollars bonds to appear
at the next session of the Criminal
Court.

The Mariposa Cali Gazette
says that E. G. Hall heard a noise
in his hen house one night lately,
and, on going there, met China
man in the very act of stealing his
chickens. In the attempt to seize
the fellow Hall accidentally got
one hand in the Chinaman's mouth.
With the other he seized hold of
his cue, and twisted it around his
neck and hung on. The severe
biting of his hand caused Hall to
faint. Mrs. Hall, thinking her
husband was gone rather longer
than necessary, and fearing
something had happened, went to
the chicken house, where she
found Hall and the Chinaman on
the ground-the former fainting,
and the latter choked to DEATH
It required considerable effort to
pry open the dead Chinaman's
mouth to relieve Halls hand.

AMUSING SCENE AT A WEDDING,
Wheeling (West Virginia)
Register describes a novel scene at
avoiding in North Wheeling as
follows: ga MADAM old maid
of fifty-two summers and win
tiers, which have left their traces
there, who is possessed of three
children, was a few evenings since
married to good-looking young
man twenty-five years of age
A large party was present, some
of whom were invited and some
not. The repast consisted of cake
heavy sponge-cake-cheese,b beer,
ale, some whisky in jug under
the table, and 'stogies' for dessert.
A bridesmaid and groomsman
stood up with the gushing pair.
In the loving arms of the fair old
bride was blooming girl of two
summers, and when the bride
would become embarrassed she
would kiss. the baby. But the
'touchingest' scene of all was when
the squire alluded to the love they
must bear each other through
thick and thin She wilted, she
wept, she sobbed aloud; and then
the baby cried in its mothers arms;
and then the young groom, his
heart too full for utterance, ten
derby entwined his arms around
the bride and baby, and bowed his
head between them, and was on
ly aroused to consciousness by the
baby pulling his hair. The squire
then finished marrying them
They are now happy"

Why it Pays to Buy Gold.

Exchange in the lower hall of the
New York Stock Exchange, under
the auspices of leading members
of both Boards of Brokers and
quite number of leading bank
ing houses, has led to inquiry into
the soundness of the rules which
govern the trade in gold. Among
Iother rules, the one which impo-i
ses a penalty of one-quarter Of
one per cent. for non-delivery has
been anXiously discussed. For
the benefit of our readers out of
Wall Street, we may explain that
when a broker agrees to deliver to
another broker one hundred shares
lof Erie at given price on CIV
en- day, and fails to deliver the
stock, the buyers remedy is to
buy in the stock publicly in open
market; through an official of enc
of the boards and to hold the seller
for any difference between the
price at which he so buys IN the
stock and the price. at which he
had originally purchased it of the
defaulting vendor; if the buyer
Inegleets or elects not te,avail linn
self of this remedy, he is held to
assent to the postponment of the
delivery til the following day.
With gold the rule is different.
If a man sells $4,000 in gold and
ineglects to deliver it on the day
tits due, he must pay one-quarter
of one per cent.-say $25-to the.
buyer by way Of penalty for non
delivery, and a like penalty for
each subsequent default. The
rule was established at a time
when transactions in gold were
loosely conducted, and it was high
| ly desirable thatspecplators should
be taught the necessity of strict
adherence to contracts. But III
practice the rule has had an effect
which was not anticipated by
its trainers. 1t established a nor
mal-though fctitious-value for
the use of gold. 1t started the
idea that, instead of borrowing
money to carry gold, holders might,
by a judicious manipulation of
| the market, and by combination
among themselves, exact for short
sellers and borrowers a bonus for
the use of specie from day to day.
it accustomed operators to the no
ton that gold was SO scarce that
it ought to command premium
for immediate delivery, and in,this
way it led ultimately to theegreat
Speculative. combinations for the
rise in gold, which very nearly
ruined the Government in the last
year Of the war, and which now
keeps the premium twenty to
twenty-five per cent. higher than
lit was in March last. 90.
1t has been calculated that a
man who bought a million of gold
on the first OF March last, and has
steadily lent it out ever since, has
made 81 per cent. on his invest
ment. If he bought his gold at
l27, which was the average price
in March, his gold now costs him
"copper" cent; as hecan sell itat / A
he can realize "a per cent. or $780,
900 dollars in currency, by selling
out. What legitimate business
offers such profits as this?
