The junior partner in the firms next
preceding the last was native Of Central
Ohio, and, after steamboating several
years on the Mississippi river, he learned
the business Of banking, at Panama, in
1850, with John Fritz of Philadel phia,
and G. X. Garrison of New York. Sub
sequently he was associated at San Fran
cisco with G. K. Garrison, Charles Nor

association with Eugene Kelley of New
York, a retired San Francisco dry goods
merchant, and j. A. Donahue, the house
of Donahue, Ralston & Co., had enormous
success during the early years of the re-

THE Centennial AND THE TEST
OATH.

Our Georgia contemporaries have
been somewhat excited recently over an
incident more than a year old, but
which has very lately come to the eye
Of the public. Mai. HIlyer, Of Geor-
gia, was appointed one Of the Centen-
NAL Commissioners under what is gen
orally known as the Centennial act Of
Congress. When this commission was
forwarded from the Secretary IF States
Office to Gov. Smith, to be delivered to
Mai. Hillyer, 1t was accompanied with
the "iron-clad" oath. This and the
commission were returned by Gov.
Smith to Secretary Fish, with q
letter declining IN proper terms
to deliver to Maj. Hllyer a commits
sion which required him to take such
an oath. Mr.. Fish replied to the Gov
ernor Of Georgia that the ''iron-clad''
was sent by a clerk in his Department
through mistake. He returned the
commission for Maj. Hillyer and with
it the modified oath, which had been
adopted by Congress for members of
Congress and others elected or ap-
pointed to Federal Office who had been
in the Confederate army or in sympa-
thy with the Confederate cause. This
oath Mai. Hillyer took and accepted
the commission, and has since acted as
Centennial Commissioner for Georgia.
Secretary Fish, IN mis- letter to Gov.
Smith, stated that the laws Of Con-
gress required all persons accepting
any Office Of honor or profit in the SER
vice Of the United States to take either
the 'iron-clad' or the modified" oath.
Hence the ''iron-cIad was first sent by
a clerical mistake, and then the 'mod-
fled" oath which Maj. HiIlyer took.
In reply to this second letter of Secre-
tary Fish, Gov. Smith maintained that
a Centennial Commissioner was not
such an officer Of honor or profit as
was contemplated by the laws Of Con-
gress prescribing the "iron-clad" or
modified cath. OF all this nothing
was known until very recently, when
an Augu sta editor got hold of Gov
Smiths first letter to Secretary Fish
and published it; then the stew began,
and still the kettle boils. Gov. Smith s
gubernatorial career is drawing to a
close and he probably has an eye on a
seat in the United States Senate. He
may be desirous Of making a little
sensational capital, OF perhaps his let
ter to Secretary Fish would have never
seen the light Of day.

NO OUTsIDER NEED APPLY.

The Cincinnati Commercial thinks
the Cincinnati Convention of 1872,
that nominated Horace Greeley,
might have named the President"
and adds:
cit does not seem impossible that
the better elements represented in that
Convention may be so organized that
IN May next the things can be done
that were left undone three years and
three weeks ago."
This is very much the same sort of
talk that was had at the SchuTz dinner
in New York. We presume We shall
continue to be RECALLED with it semi
occasionally from now until the Presi-
Dental nominations are made. There
are doubtless a few that attended the
Cincinnati Convention who think them
selves, by birth or special training,
to be prominently qualified to make
Presidents, if not to occupy the Presi-
Dental chair. In this they are wofully
deceived. They are neither the timber
out of which Presidents are made nor
do they know how to select the material.
They do not knowthe article when they
see it. Their incapacity was made
clearly manifest at the Cincinnati con-
vention; not in nominating Mr.. Gree
ley, for that was the best thing the
convention could have done; but in at
tempting to put up job" in the way
of a nomination which would have re-
bounded only to the glorifcation OF
the Mutual Admiration Syndicate that
attempted to run the convention, and
not to the profit or honor of the country
We repeat that the nomination OF
Mr.. Greeley by the Cincinnati Conven'
ton was the best thing that convention
could have done, and we are not salts
fed that his nomination at Baltimore
was not the best thing which the Dem
ocratic Convention could have done
No Democrat could have beaten Grant
in that race; but the cordial support
given by the Southern Democracy to
Mr.. Greeley accomplished much IN
Iberalizing the sentiment Of the North
ern Republican masses toward the peo-
pie of the South and in preparing the
way for the Democratic triumphs of
the last twelve or eighteen months.
1t viii not do, however, to expert
ment again with an outsider, with one
who does not recognize the cardinal
principles Of the Democracy as essen.
tials in Republican government. More
especially it cannot take for its stand
ard bearer one who went into or before
the Cincinnati convention, and then re,
fused to support its nominee, because
the latter was afterwards nominated by
the Democratic convention. Nor can
the Democracy afford to be controlled
in its action BY the counsels of those
who, failing to get ticket
of their own making at Cincin-
natl, refused to support the
ticket that was nominated there. The
Democracy viii strive for and hope to
obtain the support of the Liberal Re-
publcang. They viii so act in Con-
gress and out Of 1t, in the convention
and out of it; they Will select a stand.
ard bearer calculated to command the
respect Of honest, tolerant, liberal men
everywhere; but they cannot yield to
medication Of a few political Israelites
who think that no good thing can come
out Of a Democratic Nazareth.

THE WEST WORSE SCARED THAN
HTRT

Prof. Riley, the State EntOmOlogist
Of Missouri, has gone to the western
portions of that State to give his per-
sonal attention to the movements Of
the dreaded grasshopper. He thinks
there Is an unnecessary degree Of alarm
about the ravages Of these pests, Is
satisfied that they VIII not come fur
tier east than they did last fall, and is
equally confident that they will all
perish during the summer from natural
causes, or be killed by the parasites,
which have already attacked them.
The rumors Of the destruction Of crops
are, IN his opinion, greatly exaggerated.
Both in Kansas and Missouri the IN
vaders are rapidly perishing, and the
people are correspondingly encouraged.
The Professor predicts that If the sea-
son is a wet one. comparatively few
eggs viii be deposited, and, therefore,
that no grasshoppers viii trouble the
farmers next year; but. even should
the weather prove favorable for their
reproduction. he sees 10 cause to an
sth. nd any serious trouble next season.

Many doubtless remember the report

Gen. Forrest had made a speech of a
very disloyal and 'rebelious" charac-
ter, few months ago, at an unheard

Nashville came IN possession Of a Re-
publican paper, published at Wauseon,
O., containing the original report, with
some bitter structures on the ex-
Confederate General. cit was
Just such men as he, that
made all the trouble" etc.
The Nashvillian sent a copy of the
UNION AND AMERICAN containing the
point blank denial to a correspondent
in Wauseon, with the request that he
hand it to the Republican editor to
publish. The correspondent now writes
his Nashville friend: "Your letter re-
ceived; also the article on Forrest. 1
showed It to Smith, Of the Republican,,
who says all right, he will make the
correction, but he thinks Forrest is
'd-n mean enough to say it, if he
didn't.

DURING the Postmaster Generalship
Of the excellent Judge Jacob Collamer
a fragrant crime was committed IN a
Southern State. 1t was in no manner
connected with the then existing insti-
tutions in that section. The District
Attorney, a conscientious officer, ad-
dressed a letter to the Department ask
ing for authority to open letter,
which was supposed TO contain import
ant evidence for the conviction Of the
criminal. He was informed that, IN
the opinion Of the Postmaster General,
no man had the right to break a seal,
and nothing but the exigencies Of pub
lie safety could justify it. OF that the
LEGAL officer must be the judge; but to
him the confidence of correspondence
was inviolate. and must be respected.
