THE DISGRACE OF GEORGIA.
From the New York Times:

The Georgia Convention has decided by a
nearly unanimous vote-lG5 to l5-that It will not
allow the bonds which It alleges to be fraudulent
TO be submitted 10 court II had already refused
To receive IN argument prepared for the bondhod-
crs by the venerable Jere Black or to hear verbal
statement by the Democratic ex-senator Norwood.
In question OF the pocket political preudices are
not allowed To interfere. And when Ex-Governor
jenkins proposed simply TINT the validity OF the
bonds be submitted To a Democratic court, without
the right OF appeal, Mr. Robert TOombs fought the
| suggestion with success His main argument
against the bondhplden was an impudcnt one and
was that the State government which issued them
was forced upon Georgia by bayonets and that the
State was not bound 10 recognize any OF its acts
He protessed himself willing to provide for paying
any Of the bonds for which the State received any
consideration, though hc said nothing as how oven
that fact was u be asccrt,ined The bonds thus
.epudiatcd arc about sS00Og0O in amount They
have never been declared fraudulent or illegal by
the courts of the state. They have simply been
condemned by the Legislature, and aiterward by a
popular vote. This last act of the convention
finally disposcs of them. II H. Of course naked re-
pudiation and rnscglty. They call Il In Georgia
mailing the coffin of Radical reconstruction" but
will be found that the good name OF Georgia lies
In the grave.

for persons who intend emigating to the
west next year to begin looking for suitable
locations, and therefore workingmen who
contemplate initiating the example of their
baltimore brethren should organize ut once.
The arrangement Of labor is now very
great, but If natural laws are left to oper-
ate unimpcdedn q healthy equilibrium would
soon be established between the demand
and supply. A great deal of the present
trouble results from artificial legislation
and the undue expansion of manufacturing
and railroad enterprises. In consequence
OF this unnatural aud forced development
OF the country all the great manufacturing
centres have been overerowded with people
There Is still enough manufacturing carried
on TO give employment to o large percent
age ol the lnborers who were engaged dur
ing Hush times, hut the surplus men who
were drawn into such employmcnts under
system artificially stimulated must seek
some other sort Of employment.
u must not be forgotten, however, that
no measure will bring such durable relief
10 the country as industry accompanied ly
a spirit Of economy As long as wnsteful
and estraragant habits prevail universal
disonieni will reign. and the whole social
fabric will be shaken by revolutionary and
coniinunistic movements II does not mat

FREE TRADE AGAINST PROTECTION.
From the sacramento Record-Union;

Free trade renders such blunders impossible,
since under II the natural laws of demand and sup,
ply regulate production, and indicate the bcst
modes OF investment without tail. But for the fal.
lacics Of protection this period OF ovcr-productlon
would have been avoided. and the present depres-
sion. in so far as Is attributable 70 local causes
could not have occurred. OF course there are other
and foreign influences AT work, but over these we
have no control and therefore II Is Of little use TO
discuss them; Business is dull, not only here but
throughout Europe, aud this fact reacts upon us
Bat for II the demands arising out of the European
war would have given temporary stimulus 10 ouI
industries but We md that The continental coun,
tries and England are absorbing all the new trade
and there Is no surplus for America or cnur4
there Is no help for this state Of things though Il
enhances our present distress and tends TO max,
the pinch sharper. For tho evils Of protection
however. we are ourselves responsible and the
remedy Is In our own hands. The Democratic
party, despite its time hOnorcd free trade doctrnes
has evinced no disposition 70 maken vigorous iighl
upon this vital issue, though 1t might lie supposed
that with the help of the new South, now rcenter

WHAT COMES FROM A WANT OF PLUCK.
From the New York Tribune,

There Is said to be alarm among the poll
tciens Of Ohio; Both parties have eaten a great
deal of dirt IN the hope OF conciliatng the working
classes Both have committed themselves To de.
chrations OF which they are already ashamed
Both have aflrontcd the dccency and common
tense Of the country, and discredted the Republic
In the eyes OF foreign nations for the sake of catc
ing The lotes of few thousands of trades unonsts
labor agitators aud misguided strikers. And both
are beginning 70 feel that their humiliation has
been In vain. They have done enough TO shock
the better classes of society, and even to disgust
themselves. but they have not done enough to win
the workingmen. On the contrary, both have lost
greatly by aping the tricks and manners OF the
demagogue- The workingmeti, looking the two
conventions In the face, have said TO themselves
These fellows must be very much afraid of u.s.;
and thereupon, satisfied OF their own political
strength. they have begun to build up a new
party, and to cutloose from all connection with the
old ones

THE MARRIAGE OF KING ALFONSO

A rumor is current here that the proposed
marriage between King Alfonso and Princess
Mercedes has been abandoned and that union
is being arranged between the King and the
second daughter Of King Leopold. 1t is added
that senor sivelas special mission to Brussels
was to negotiate this, and that immed lately
after his arrival the King of the Belgians in
vited the Spa Minister, with the Comte
and Confess de Paris to dine with him.
This gave further color to the belief In the
object of the mission; and It is alleged that
the special Cabinet council held at Brussels was
devoted, not us we supposed to military aues-
tions, but to this project. Notwithstanding
the ingenuity of this combination, 1t requires
confirmation, and statement just made by a
Madrid paper may be expected to prove more
correct. The Epooa announces that the Due
de Montpensier and his family, by King Al
fonso's invitation, will repair at Che end Of
August to La Granja, near Madrid. and that in
the course Of the year the Kings marriage
with his cousin, Princess Mercedes, will be ar
