EVERY NEW business enterprise having force
and integrity at the back of it is sure Of cor
dial reception in this city, and this remark
never had truer illustration than in the sue
cess attending the new house of Asbury G..
Appleman & Co., bankers and brokers, 419
Seventh street. Mr.. Appleman, although q
young man, has created a widespread conf
dence in his business capacity, and his most
excellent Judgment in monetary affairs is often
sought by those having investments to
make. He was until quite recently
the first assistant cashier of the Ha-
gerstown, Nd. Bank, End among his indorsers
in Washington are the prominent names Of
Mr.. Charles A. James, cashier Bank of Wash.
ington, and Mr.. Montgomery Blair; in Phila
delphiR, the Bank of North America; in New
York, the First National Bank; in Baltimore,
the Peoples Bank and Fisher & Sons, bankers;
and in Hagerstown, Mr.. Appleman's old home,
the Attorney General of Maryland, Mr.. A. K
Syester, recommends him as entirely worthy Of
trust and confidence. Appleman & Co. are
doing general banking and brokers' business,
buying and selling gold and silver, bonds Of all
descriptions, dealing in District securities, and
are giving special attention to bills, accounts
and claims in the several Departments of the
Government. Their house is substantially and
handsomely fitted up, having marble counters,
fre-proof safes and private offices, and their
business is already large. We are pleased in
being able to make this general reference, feel
ing satisfied that we have most valuable ad-
dition to the business circles of Washington,
and new citizen who will be an hsnor to the
city, and in the extension of cordial recep-
ton we join with very many who have personal
knowledge of Mr.. Appleman's skill in bust
ness and thorough probity in all his dealings.

THE few modest and earnest words
spoken by the President over the grave of
the lsmented Lincoln, at Springfield, on
Thursday, must have touched the heart of
every reader. They are the honest and
just estimation of great and guileless
heart, which has ceased to beat, by sor-
rowing friend and patriot, who deplores,
in common with his fellow citizens, the
loss which the nation has suffered in his
death, while he draws lesson for the
present and the future from his unselfsh
and devoted example While they can
add nothing to the lustrous glory which
surrounds the name of the deceased Presi-
dent they speak volumes in favor of the
noble soul and appreciative judgment of
the living one.

POLITICAL NOTES.

]. NJ. S. Williams has been nominated for Goa
gress by the Republicans of the Eighth Massa-
cbusetts district.
Returns indicate the probable election OF VIII
son, Dem, Congressman for the First West Viz
ginia district, over Goh, Republican, by about
100 majority.
Conkling and Willis were nominated Thursday
night at the New York Tammany Congressional
conventions for the Eighth and Eleventh dis
triets, respectively. They are Liberal Republi-
cans.

IT Is ABOUT TIME that some disposition was
made Of the Plympton Company and the en-
yelope contract. The public is tired of tho
whole thing, and the newspapers are beginning
to get sick of the discussion. Day after day
we are called upon to print paragraphs on the
subject which are really apologies for the non
performance of a contract into which the
Plympton people entered, but which, it seems,
they are unable to perform. The only way
out Of the difficulty which the Department
can see now is to readvertise for thirty days.
Meanwhile the public must wait, and suffer all
the inconvenience which the leading postmasters
in the country declare they are suffering. If
the contract cannot be given to the next lowest
bidder; If there is an old law of half century
ago against it, let us have the advertisement
and an end Of the matter. The Postmaster
General has introduced great many reforms
in his Department. In the present conflict be-
tween two contractors there is great danger
that he will lose the popularity he has &C
quired, and thereby damage his administration.
Let the company be INDUCED as much as pos
sible, but not at the expense Of the public.
The thing has gone about far enough.

U. S. Claim Agent,
Gainesville Hall CntGs

GAINESVILLE, Hall Co., Ga.
OF course it will be said that the person
RIDDEN, whose name is attached to the fore
going advertisement, is an adventurer, that
he is money-making sharp and that
success in his business could only result
from the fact that his pretentions are so
plausible as to delude ignorant people.
We want no better argument than such an
explanation to prove that the Southern
people have faith in the ultimate payment
Of the ''claims" referred to. If they did
not hope for such result they would and
could not be led to countenance such a
proposition, and we all know that even the
shadow of hope is the germ of earnest
conviction in the human breast. We may
characterize Riden as we please, as fraud
Of the most palpsble kind; but we must ad-
NIT that, like the mountebank or quack who
offers for sale specific remedy, he could
not succeed if he did not appeal to the
people who are suffering, or imagine they
suffer, from the specific disease for which
the remedy is put forward as certain cure.
In other words Riden would not venture to
place his infamous proposition before the
public if he was not encouraged to do so
by the knowledge that the people to whom
he appeals are ready to respond with their
ten-ceut or FIVE dollar contributions.
The next step after this is the assumption
by the United States of the debts of the
Confederacy, the pensioning of rebel SOL
diers by the General Government and the
exaltation of treason and traitors above 10y
atty and over the martyrs of Anderson7iIle,
Salisbury, Belle Isle and Libby. As we
said few days ago, the people of the North
have been misled as regards the true con-
dition Of affairs m the South, and do not
understand that votes cast for the opponents
of the Republican party, however covert
their enmity to its principles may be, are
really votes cast for the supremacy of the
White Leagues, the Tax Unions, the Ku-
Klux Klans and the Hunters and Ridens,
who would saddle upon their conquerors
the expense of their own treason, and who
would disgrace the proudest page of Ameri-
can history by blotting from its record the
evidence that the war for slavery was
TONIGHT in vain
