From Georgia.

AUGUSTA, GA, June Ga meeting
of the citizens OF Fulton and De Kal6
counties was held at Atlanta, to form a
Conservative Union party. Preamble
and resolutions were adopted denounc-
ing Sherman's bill as Infamous, and
preferring military rule, to organizing
under its provisions. The press of At
lanta have no sympathy with the move
ment, and pronounce it il--timed and
iDjudicious, The feeling throughout
Georgia is to submit, and organize
under the military bill. The people
are sick of uncertainty, and will con-
form TO the requirements of Congress
in good faith. The opposition will be
inconsiderable, as the great majority OF
the people are in favor of voting for a
Convention.
Hon. Joseph Lumpkin, Of the Su-
preme Court of Georgia, recently died
at Athens. s..- -.t.....r.
The wheat harvest in this State has

CLEVELAND, June Ca joint meet
ing of the executive committee and
trustees of the Merchants Union Ex-
press Company, IS being held at the
Weddell House, with very full at
tendance. A thorough examination is
being made of the OF the condition OF
the Company, and the best OF feeling
prevails. Action will, doubtless, be
taken upon many matters touched
with the welfare of the Company, and
efficient means adopted for the prose-
cution of its business. The executive
committee lave made full reports,
which are being considered by the trus-
tees this afternoon.
AT the State Episcopal Convention,
the second days chief feature was a
letter from Rev. Bedell, Assistant
Bishop Diocese of Ohio, now in Rome,
taking strong low church grounds in
characterizing ritualism as contrary TO
the spirit of the prayer book, and urE-
ing strict adherence to the forms OF
worship prescribed therein. The let.
ter was powerful one, and was well
received by the convention.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.

The Banking aud Insurance ChTOui-
Gle, published at Chicago, is making
some wholesome exposures of the man
ner in which too many western insu-
rance companies have been managed.
1t mentions an Illinois company, char
tered last year. whose total gross re-
ceipts for four months of 1867 were but
sl6,l59 while the expenses were run
ming on at the fearful rate thus indic,-
ted by the CIroniclc:
"We begin with the salaries of the
officers, which, from information that
we have been able to obtain, we set
down about as follows: President,
$500; vice.president, 81, 500; secretary,
$500; treasurer, $4,000. Three book
Keepers, clerks, &c, say 81 500 each;
Office rent, say 81 800; printing, station
cry, and all other office expenses, say
$500; making an aggregate of S26, 900,
or S2,l66 per month, which, for four
months, is IS ,664, which, from the Sl6,-
l59 of cash receipts leaves 81, 465, out of
which have been paid some losses. We
hear of two sums of s., 500 each, making
$500, which, from the balance, of ST.
465. would leave s, SS6. To this, if we
add, say 1880 for denominations pre-
vious TO January l, gives $685. as the
available cash assets of the company"
The money writer of the New York
Post has Information that Mr.. McCul-
Loeb has been making secrect arrange
ments with some of the national banks
for the issue of moro national bank
notes. It. is well known that the limit
to circulation to national banks under
the National Banking law is three hun
dred millions OF dollars, and that this
limit was long since reached. There
are still national banks without any cir
culation, and many others with much
less than they wish. Now the report is,
that the department has privately in
| formed some of the banks in an infor-
NAL way, that, to the extent that they
will redeem the bills of broken banks,
new notes may be had by the banks
desiring circulation. This report has
created quite a sensation among the
banks interested, and a premium as
high as or per cent. has been offered
for the broken bank notes.
/ AS to the aggregate of forfeited circu-
| lation we have no Trustworthy informal
/ ton; but 1t amounts certainly to con-
siderable sum, and the government
! ought 10 derive some revenue from the
| possession of the right to issue more
currency in place of that which is thus
Withdrawn. For the privilege of issu-
ing currency under the National Bank
ing law is one Of great value, as expe-
rience shows that the notes when once
issued seldom, If ever, return for re-
| demption. A large number of reputa.
BILE banks unprovided with circulation,
as those OF certain sections of the coun-
try which have received less than their
full share, are, no doubt willing to pay
the government for the privilege.
Meanwhile no law authorizes The issue,
and the terms Of such issue must be
settled by Congress.
Clearly the or 5 per cent. premium
ought to go to the national treasury.

SAN Francisco, June ct is report
ed that a new island has been discov-
cred in the North Pacific, one hundred
and fifty degrees west longitude, forty
degrees, thirty minutes north latitude,
twenty miles long, and exactly on the
track of vessels to this port from China
and Japan. a vessel recently arrived
here which passed near its locality.
Fogs and misty weather prevail in
thai section OF the Pacific, and 1t is sup
posed that many missing vessels are
wrecked there. tits considered ofsum-
cientimpOrtance TO justify the Govern
ment in despatching vessel to locate
it. A company has been organized to
survey the island, and will send ves-
sci this week to examine and take pos
session of it.
The schooner Caroline Mills has re-
! turned from an unsuccessful wrecking
expedition. The bark LABEL, lost on
Wake Island, March, '66, was visited.
On Sibeila Island she discovered the
\ wreck of the ship Canton, which is re-
ported to have left Sitka in 1916, and
was never heard from. A portion OF
the wreck is in perfect preservation.
! The armorial shield of arms of an East
India company of England, chartered
thereon, were brought back.

| NEW YORK, June 6.-The Tribune's
New Orleans special says: Gen. Sheri-
dan having been asked for his reasons
| for his removals, this day forwarded
the following:
! HEADo'Rs 5TH MILITARY DIsTRICr.-
| General U. $. Grant, Commanding AT--
mics Of the United States. Washington !:
GESERAL-On the Both of March last 1
removed from office Judge E. Able of
! the Criminal Court of New Orleans, La,
and John E. Monroe, Mayor OF the city
| OF New Orleans. These removals were
made under the power granted me in
what is usually termed the Military
Bill, passed March 9th, 1867, by the
| Congress OF the United States. l did
not deem it necessary to give any rea-
| son for the removal of these men, es-
| pecially after the Investigation made
by the military board on the massacre
OF July S0th, 1866, and the report of the
Congressional Committee on the same
massacre, but as some inquiry has been
made for the cause of their removal 1
| would respectfully state as follows:
! The court over which Judge Able pre-
sided is the only criminal court in the
city of New Orleans, and at u period of
/ at least nine months previous to July
/ 3Oth, he said he had been educating "A
| large portion Of the community to the
| preparation of this outrage by almost
| promising no prosecution in his court
| against the offenders in case such an
event occurred. The records of this
court will show that he fulfilled his
| promises, as not one of the guilty ones
/ have been prosecuted.
In reference TO Andrews, Prosecuting
| Attorney General of the State of Lou
| isianR, 1 considered il his duty to indict
those men before this criminal court.
This he failed to do, but went so far as
to attempt to impose on the good sense
ofthe whole nation by indicting the vic
tins of the rioters instead of the rioters,
in other words making the innocent
| guilty and the guilty innocent. He
| was, therefore, an abetter of and CO.
adjutor with Judge Able in bringing
on the massacre of July 30th.
Mayor Monroe controlled the ele-
ment engaged in this riot, and when
| backed by an Attorney General who
would not prosecute the guilty, and II
Judge who advised the Grand jury to
find the innocent guilty and let the
murderers go free, he felt secure in en-
! gaging his police force in the riot and
massacre. With these three men ex-
ercising large influence on the worst
element of this city, giving to these ele-
ments an unanimity for riot and blood
shed, the General.in.Chief will see how
in secure L felt in letting them occupy
their positions in the troubles which
might occur in registering and voting
in the reorganization.

REMEMBER THIS.
One great advantage accruing to the pur-
chaser at the extensive establishment Of
EtsemRn & Arnold, Is that they are connected
with one OF the largest manufacturing estab-
lishments in New York city, thereby saving
the per cent. which other houses have to pay
when they buy their goods. Every time an
article is transferred in trade. an addition OF
five to twenty-five per cent is added as the
profit to be realized by the dealer. Thus 1t Is
readily understood that when firm pays the
manufacturers profits the same is added to
the price of goods.
By saving this expenIe, which Is very
heavy one, we can afford our clothing pro-
portionRiely lower. HH-H

WIN find 1t to their advantage by giving us a
