THE people OF Georgia are at last anx.
ious to know exactly where they stand
financially, and TO this end have sent two
members HOf their Legislature to New
York, who will make their headquarters
in Wall street until they get to the bot
tom Of the financial transactions Of Rufus
B. Bullock. ex-governor of that State.
Under his regime,-1s6S-,71, the issue ol
State bonds was $G,64s,0O0. The railroad
bonds endorsed during the same time
amount to $5,63S, 900 making $12, ,1s1 900
of the entire debt of $179S9,OO due to
three years of carpet bag government.
Out of the railroad debt with which Bul.
lack burdeHed Georgia, the State has not
received anything for over 80 per cent Of
the amount. 1t Is also stated that one
Wall street broker was Treasurer Of three
Of the newly.chartered roads, and another
broker was President Of seven Of them.
The people of Georgia naturally feel un-
easy over such internal improvements as
these, and want to know exactly where
they stand. They have, consequently,
gone, in the person of their representa-.
tive, right into Wall street. where their
internal improvements were manufac.

WHILE the ways and means OF taxation
arc attracting so much attention, 1t is
worth while to notice that Massachusetts
is on the point Of abolishing her capita
tion tax entirely. Until two years ago,
not only residents of the State, but immi-
grants landing,at any Of Its ports, had
to pay So So each. The Convention
which met at indianapolis in 1870, TO dis
cuss the whole subject of immigration,
protested against this tax on foreigners,
on the ground that II State could lay
any such duty whatever, it could make it
OF any amount; and that If every State
followed this example, 1t would be impos-
sible for foreigners to reach the interior at
all. This sensible protest secured there.
peal OF this provision Of the law. Now
the citizens Of Massachusetts, are growing
restive under such an undiscriminating
system of taxation. sSs,, ,..

The New York World Chastens the
Third.partY Men.

NEw York, March 3O.-The World, in
leading editorial this morning referring
to the call for the Cincinnati Convention,
issued at Cincinnati, and that oil similar
nature issued here, says the double call
looks to breaking down and melting OF
the Republican and Democratic elements
in a fusion which would supercede the
Democratic organization. The World
says this is political impossibility. The
Democratic party is ready to cooperate
with honest, courageous reforms, but it is
abslrdly Quixotic TO suppose 1t will con-
sent to disband its organization. If the
Cincinnati Convention cannot get along
without Democratic bolstering, it must
be weak in tho joints. If the Democrats
take part in the Convention it will lose
hold upon the Republican voters. Unless
II succeeds in organizing formidable Re-
publican opposition to Grant it is mere
husk and chaff. tits movement quite
outside the Democratic party. All recog-
nized Democrats will keep aloof from the
Cincinnati Convention. The Democratic
National Convention will not be held un-
til subsequent to the 1st Of May. If the
Cincinnati Convention proves to be influ-
ential, with q strong Republican backing,
1t isquite possible that the Democrats
may adopt its ticket but we also must
contemplate fiasco, and the Democratic
party refuse To- commit its fortunes to
this doubtful experiment. sEs. ~
