THE people of California are troubled
lest John Chinaman should become voter
in that State. The present Legislature
will probably pass some act intended to
prevent the Cinnamon from voting under
rthe fifteenth amendment Some of the
Republican papers assert that this cannot
be legally done, and that such law
would be in defiance of the amendment.
Still the Legislature win no doubt pass it,
and risk the chances. The Attorney Gen
eral of California gives it as his opinion
that 'Eit is within the power of the Legis-
lature to place the State independent of
the danger which may be apprehended
from this class of people, and that this
may be done within the provisions of the
fifteenth amendment and outside of any
question of race CT color, or previous con
dillon

It viii surprise many OF our readers to
learn that so great an amount of the float
ing capital of the country has been invest
ed in railroad securities. As we find that
the bonded debt of railroad companies
negotiated in The period named is $780,
900, 600, it is fair to estimate that the total
amount of Obligations of these descrip-
tons issued, and taken by the people in
one form or another, must have been at
least $500, 900, OOO This will give the
reestlor- f,e,.4o idea of the Immense extent
of the railroad enterprises of this country.
OF course much of this capital has come
from Europe. When we ceased to send
our bonds there for market, the capital
which was seeking investment at higher
rates of interest than prevail there, was
sent to New York agents for the purpose
of buying State, railroad and other prompt
interest pay securities It is through aid
thus obtained that railroad companies have
been enabled to push their works TO com

GOV. nILLOCN, or GEORGIA..

There is no doubt but That the remand
inc OF Georgia to the condition of Mill
tary province, was secured by Gov. Bull
lock 10 cover up some of his yiIlainics.
This is the opinion of the Radical Wash
ington correspondent of The Cincinnati
Gu-afc. who writes as follows:
''Gov. Bullock's conduct here, since
this Georgia bill came up, has been sadly
wanting in dignity and respect for his
office. and many persons speak of it as
shameful. To-day and yesterday he was
the busiest man in the House, and con-
stantlv. while the bill was under discus
sion. has been doing all he could to
manipulate IFS provisions and get it fixed
to his own notion. lie is officially charged,
in documents laid before the House by
the State Treasurer, a Republican of
many years standing. with using tiity-onc
thousand dollars Of the StatemOncy indirect
violation of law; with appropriating four
thousand dollars TO himself and never &C
counting therefor with taking and pay
inc ont ten thousand dollars in disObc-
dienCc Of an order Of the lower branch
of the Legislature, with using nearly ten
thousand dollars in the way Of patronage

dred and siyty-fyc thousand dollars in
State bonds on no warrant or color of au-
ihoritv. TO the great detrimcnt Of the State
credit and discomfort of The creditors in
this country and in Europe. If the Lcgis-
lature had met in regular way he would
probably have been impeached. His
friends savthat now he viii be elected to

I'M view Of all the circumstances in this
case. gentlemen Of character say he has
shown extreme impudence.

We called attention the other day to the
fact that Grant had completely section
allied the Supreme Court Of the United
States. Referring TO the matter, the
Rochester UHiOR says.

GRANT is getting excited over the case
of Mr.. Hoar, nominated for Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court and is re-
ported TO have stated very positively 70 a
Senator that he should not withdraw his
name from the Senate, but leave it to con-
firm or reject him. IIoar is absent from
Washington. and his views are not known.
Grant approved and signed the bill re-
manding Georgia to a military province in
great haste. There was not even time to
notify Congress of the fact in the usual
way. lie did not hesitate at signing a
bill which dismembcrs the Union, by
striking one of the stars from its flag. He
has already issued an order appointing
Gen. Terry to the command of Georgia

Our Financial and Commercial
Department.

Every department Of business has an immediate
interest in the markets of the country, and in Its
financial fluctuations and condition. The man who
fails to keep himself properly advised as to the
rise and fall of the markets, controlled b. the
laws Of demand and supply, and the relative con-
dition Of the currency, is exposed to constant loss
and must necessarily fall behind his more intelH-
gent and enterprising neighbors In order to
make our paper valuable as well as interesting we
shall make this q SPECIAL FEATURE. Our Daily
Market Reports, domestic and foreign, by tele-
graph, and our City Reports, gotten up at heavy
expense, shall challenge the cOmmendatiOn of our
best business men; while our current Financial
Reports from all the leading money centers Of the
country shall be fuller than have ever been pub
lished by any other journal in Tennessee.

The events which will tyanspire during the yea

THE New York Independent, Radi-
cal politico-religious journal, is anxious to
know why the defrauding CustomhOuse
officials in that city are not tried and sent
to Sing Sing. 1t is suggested that it is
for the reason they know too much about
certain men in high places at Washington.

By law which went into effect on the

out of the loan market and convert it into
fixed capital and thus make it unavailable
for future lending This happened in
ls47. Railroad building was then at It's
height The continued demand on the
iobp market By these railroad calls dimin-
isbed the loanable fund TO such an extent
that they who had been accustomed 10
RELY on ii in carrying forward their bust
ness, and whose own capital had become
temporarily or permanently unavailable,
found it impossible to command that per
petuai renewal Of credit which had pre-
viously enabled them to struggle on.
The present period is said by some to re-
semBle in many respects that described
above as preceding the crisis of 1877.
The amount of capital invested IN
securities of one kind and another
during the past five years has been very
large and apparently much in excess OF
our legitimate savings or accumulation OF
capital. The writer in the Merchants
Magazine puts down the amount of rail-
road and canal securities issued from May,
1865, to July, 1869, a little over four
years, at $500, 100000 in one folm or
another. He says aportion of these have
been issued to individuals who subscribed
from motives of interest, as owners Of
property adjacent TO projected lines of
roads or canals, and a large portion of
company obligations or stock, have also
been issued to cities, towns and counties
in exchange for their bonds, which could
| be more readily negotiated in the market.
For the purpose of showing the real ex-
| tent of this movement during the four
years named, he gives a table showing as
accurately as the nature of the case al
lows, the increase in the funded debt OF
railroad companies in the period named.
This table will interest many of our read
ers, and we therefore reproduce it as fol
lows:
