Views of Business Men on the Pend
ing Issues.

The Auyustu Chronicle and Sentinel
has interviewed some Of the leading
business men Of the city, and obtained
their opinions OH the coming question.
Mayor Estes says: at is clearly best
to let matters stand as they are. The
act Of Congress, providing for resump-
ton Of specie payments in 1878, was
nothing more than a catch penny to get
votes. The trainers had no idea of its
being carried out. They knew it could
not be. But it was to remain until after
the election in 1876, when it was to be
repealed. \ complete resumption OF
snecic payments would be hindrance
to commerce. Gold is inconvenient for
transportation"
Mr.. w. w. Wheless, Presidentof the
Commercial Bank, says II do not
think that resumption of specie pay
mcnts can be accomplished until our
exports exceed our imports. On the
other hand 1 see no reason for imitation.
The south can look only to, and depend
upon, agriculture for success and our
prosp perity must be dug out of the soil.
Provision crops, with cotton as a sur
plus, will bring high prices, and then
we will have more money to be invested
in manufacturing, insuring genuine
prosperity throughout the cotton States,
and not based on any inflated currency"
Mr.. II. II. Hickman, President of the
Bank of Augusta, says: II am for let
ting currency remain as it is for the
present, but at the same time 7 am in
favor of making provision for the re-
sumption of specie payments. If Con-
gress will legislate on the currency,
Which it has no right to do, let it pass an
act providing for the creation of sink
ing fund, say twenty millions of dollars
annually. This it can raise by taxation
on some article or articles not now tax
ed. No time should be fixed for the re-
sumption, but whenever this sinking
fund is considered large enough, specie
can be put iu circulation at onco. The
act providing for resumption in 1875
amounts to nothing since it makes nc
provision for such resumption.'

African Exploration.

The UcrUd reports the partial success
of its great African explorer, Henry NJ.
Stanley, who has reached the shores Of
the Lake Victoria N'yanza, one of the
principal objective points of the expedi-
ton. According to the Hcruld, "Lherc
are two objects well defined in his plans.
The first of these is to reach the Nicto-
ria N'yanza and ascertain whether
Spekc's or Livingstone's hypothesis is
the correct one, whether the Victoria
N'yanZa consists of one lake or five
lakes" Stanley intended to fix all the
important localities 10y astronomical OBJ
serv:ltions, and to settle the disputed
question of the number Of lakes by
complete circumnavigation.' TO this
duty he addressed himself at once or
reaching the lake last March, and it is
probably by this time completed. His
second objective point was the Lake AL
bert N'yanZa, to which he intended to
cross over, and, in his own words, to
endeavor to discover how far Baker is
correct in his bold hypothesis concern
ing its length and BREADTH This ques-
ton was also to be decided by circum-
navigation, and the intrepid explorer
will take nothing for granted. 'Whcth-
cr Gordon circumnavigates the Albert
or not he says, i shall most certainly
do so if | reach it, and discover every
detail about it to the best of my ability
Here the definite plans of travel are
ended, but it is not proposed that the
expedition shall stop with these discov-
cries. Beyond this point Stanley
says, the whole appears to ME SO vague
and vast that it is impossible to state at
this period what | shall try to do next.
We are justified by these facts in all
nouncing that the African exploration
expedition, organized by the I{cratd and
7Glegrdph, has thus far succeeded to the
fullest extent Of our expectations. In
little more than three months it pcne-
trated the wilderness over seven hun
dred miles, and reached the unknown
region of its operations. For two
months following it had been engaged
in the survey Of the great Ia Ike.
The next news from Stanley
we may hope, will solve the first
great geographical question of the iAfri
can interior, which neither Livingstone
nor Baker was permitted to decide.'

coincidence entirely accidental and
the more singular on that account.
His Honor stated that his Instructions
to the Grand Jury had been so minute
at previous terms of the Court that he
would content himself at present with
simply urging upon the members of the
Jury, that if any matter worthy of pre-"
sentiment had come to their knowledge,
they should bring it before the Court.
1t was q duty made obligatory upon
upon each individual member by his

come within his knowledge.

Ex-senator Doolittle's Speech.

The Ex-senator, who was invited to
take the place of Mr.. Davis at the Win
nebago County Agricultural Fair, has
delivered an address which has been
highly complimcnted. In it he urges
the abolition Of the ballot, and the i'll
PRODUCTION Of i system of open voting,
and at the same time advocates a double
vote for heads Of families. This last
would seem to be a good substitute for
the woman's suffrage movement, rs it
gives q representation to the married
women at least. His argument is that
the man of family represents two or
more persons, has a greater interest at
stake, and has more knowledge and eX-
perience of what most concerns the good
of society. Such law would offer n
premium on marriage, and would be
sustained by the example of the ancient
republics, wher married men were pre-
fcrred. In the language of the Sen
utor:-
"This measure appeals for support to
all heads of families; to all wives who
preside in their happy homes; to all
mothers who have discharged the high
est, noblcSt and most sacred Of earthly
duties, in bearing and rearing up chill
drcn to be men and women, fit for the
duties Of earth, and when they are over
fit for the society of the blessed in the
eternal mansions; and to all young men
and women who desire to build up hap
py homes for themselves. The support
of all these must and will be earnest,
intense and nearly unanimous. While
men yet without families, who cherish
the memories of the homes of their
childhood, and know the blessings of
home government, will generally unite
in favor Of this"
