OF Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware

sippi, Missouri, North Carolina

West Virginia and the District OF
Columbia:
Having been deputed, in pursuance
OF the above resolution, as President
OF the Georgia State Convention, and
by the endorsement of the distinguish
cd gentlemen whose names are SUBJ
joined, we do hereby call the above
named Convention to meet in the CITY
of Columbia, South Carolina, on the
18th day of October, 1871, at twelve
o'clock NJ.
As the Convention did not advise as
to what should constitute the ratio of
representation, We suggest that the
respective States be representatively ap-
portioned the same as they are in the
Congress of the United States, to wit,
One delegate from each Congressional
District, and two from the District of
Columbia. The several Congressional
Districts will elect their own delegates,
which elected delegates may meet and
elect two for the State at large, unless
the respective States shall otherwise
provide by State Conventions.
Those who may be accredited as
delegates, should meet the Convention
prepared to remain in session one
week, if necessary, as questions req,lir-
ing mature deliberatiOn will doubtless
come before it, and should not be dis
posed of precipitently.
Most Respectfully,

LAND SwlNnLrRs. - Our farmers
should be on their guard for swlndling
land agents, many OF whom are quite
extensively operating in adjoining
counties, according 20 the statement
of our exchanges. Their modus op.
crandi is something like the follow.
ing. They call on farmer who they
think has a li;.!c spare money pro-
pose to sell him western lands, make
very fair inducements and sell at reas
enable figures. They tell the buyer
that unless everything is as represent
ed by them, he will not have to pay
for the land ihey even enter into n
written contract with him to this
effect But at the same time they re-
quirc negotiable note, which they
sell on tho first opportunity at dis.
count of fifty to seventy per cent, and
every cent can be recovered from the
man that gives the note. Farmers
beware of whom you purchase lands,
and particularly western lands Yorh

STRANGE CHRISTIANITY. j ohm How.
ard, "a good name, was hung at Cum.
berlsnd, Md, on Friday last, for the
murder Of Henry Miller. After the
rope was around his neck be an.
nounccd to the crowd that he was a
christian and ready to die. A negro
named Martin was hung the same
day, at Frederick, for having commit.
ted rape on a white woman. He
also announced that he had repented
and was ready for Heaven.
This religious strategy of sending
murderers to Heaven from the scaf
fold is quite q modern invention, and
VI is quite evident from the verdict
rendered on this subject in this county
that the Jurors have but little faith
in that mode Of getting their fellow.
men TO Heaven.
Gov. Geary has fixed the 22d dav
Of March for the execution of Llovd
Britton, the negro who was convicted
at "illiamsport last November for
the murder of Jacob Bay. When
Sheriff Piatt read the death warrant
TO him he exclaimed, 81 am prepared
to die, glory to God He is reconcilcd
to me, and ! am not afraid to die"

SETTLED. AN important decision TO
business men Of all classes has lust
been rendered by the United States
Supreme Court II was in tho case
of tho Merchants National Bank, of
Boston, VS.. the State National Bank,
Of the samo city. The amount in.
volvcd was 100000, and the question
was whether bank is obliged 10 make
good checks certified by its cashier
Justice Swayno delivered tho opinion,
Justices Clifford and Davis dissenting.
The Court held that the certification
of a check by bank was equivalent
to acceptance, and an undertaking
that it shall remain good. The power
conferred on the cashier, invests him
with the same authority TO certify n
check as he has to receive money of n
depositor as power inherent In bis
office. The cashier is the executive
officer Of the bank, and conducts all
its financial operations, and persons
dealing with tho bank have right 10
rely upon the integrity Of its officers,
when acting within the apparent
sphere of their duties, and the bank is
bound accordingly.

The Legislature Of our State has
actually passed a hill, appropriating
$40 900 out of the State Treasury, to
be distributed among the sufferers OF
the late fire at Mihiintown. That
body had no more authority for pass
ing such an act than IL has to steal
horses. The act is simply a public
outrage. We deprecate the local loss
and sympathizc with tho citizens of
that town. But the idea of curing a
local evil by innicting a public one, is
certainly new feature in political
economy. We hope the Governor
will not prove as derelict of duty as
the "coordinate branch Of the govern.
ment"in question. The following from
the Altoona Tribune, expresses our
views exactly:

fered by the late conaagration at Mihiintown, yet

the Legislature, Appropristing $4,000 from the
State Treasury for the relief Of the sufferers. We
knew that such bill had been presented in the
Senate, but We had no idea il could possibly pass
both Senate and House, inasmueh A. II would es
tsblish dangerous precedent, and open the doors
Of the treasury to every community and indirid-
ual that hai recently, or shall hereafter, sufor
loss by hre The passage Of this bill, and It's en-
dorsement by the Governor, virtually makes the
State Treasury general insurance fund out Of
which to reimburse all such losses, and our hope
10 that the Governor will veto the bill.
To show the effect Of the action Of the House,
We learn that Immediately afsr the bill had passed,
the member from Tioga presented a bill asking an
appropriation for the people Of the town Of Tioga
who recently suffered by destructive fire which
swept away nearly the whole place After having
passed the Mifliniown Relief Bill, the Legislature
cannot consistently refuse to grant the relief asked
for Tioga, and should the Governor sign the bill,

sent their claims Aud where will the end be 7

This hotel has always enjoyed an OK

of tho country, and it is the in
tention of Mr.. Bolton to make il still
more popular by putting II in com
plote order and throwing into it un-
exceptionable management
For location tho Washington Hotel
is not surpassed by any public house
in Philadelphia.
The wholesale business and daily
newspapers are fast concentrating in
the neighborhood of Seventh and
Chestnut streets, and there is proba-
bly, no point in the city affording
easier access to the trade or to the
public Institutions or places of amusc-
mont than the location of the Wash

The Washington Hotel is about one
square from independence Hall; il

one square from the Penn Bible Soci-
ETY. II is but three squares from the
United States Custom House il is
