Georgia Chivnlry.

Let us suppose case for tho considera-
ton Of tho chivalric and fire-eating people
of Georgia. We will suppose that one Of
the gallant sons Of that paradise of illicit
whiskey had married lady and had made
the discovery after marriage that his
wife had previously been on intimate
and questionable relations with another
man; that he had thereupon notified
his rival not to attempt to renew his
intimacy with the lady; that despite
this request his rival had thrown himself
in tho wife's way, boosted that he could
wean her affections from her husband
and spread scandalous reports about
the latter calculated to break up
his home. We will suppose further
that the husband had entered a
ballroom and, finding this rival dancing
with his wife, had walked up to him, chiv-
airy fashion, and shot him dead in his
tracks or driven bowie knife through his
heart Does any one imagine that a
Georgian jury could be found from the
Tennessee border to Florida and from the
Savannah River to tho Chattahoochee that
would not have acquitted the Infatuated
husband almost without leaving the court
room? Yet what would be chivalry in o
husband is murder in wife, according to
Georgas idea Of manhood, and SO the
Georgia chivalry declare Kate Southern
guilty and condemn her to the gallows 1t
is to be hoped that tho Governor of the
State is not Georgian fire-eater.

The WEATnER.-The movement of the low
pressure from the Upper Mississippi Valley over
the lake region has been quite rapid and at
tended by light rains and local storms of thunder
and lightning. Southwark and westward of the
centre Of low barometer the pressure is rising,
while that in advance of the disturbance is
slowly falling. The highest barometer IL now
on the New England coast. Violent winds have
also prevailed mt some points in the lake region,
caused by the formation of steep baromctric
gradients by the advance Of the depression. SO
far the heaviest winds have been felt on the west
ern and southern shores Of Lake Erie. In the
New England and Middle States and on the South
Atlantic coast light rains prevailed yesterday
with the southerly winds. The temperatures
fell in the West and varied very little over the
central and Eastern districts, except in New
England, where it is generally lower. The
pressure has fallen, with light rains on the Pa
cific coast. In New York and its vicinity to-day
the weather will be slightly cooler aud cloudy,
with rains, followed by clearing from the south
westward and rising temperature. Tomorrow
it will be warm aud partly cloudy or fair

Tne English Parliament and the
SeuoYS.


Some interest will be felt in the discus
sion that has just begun in both houses OF
Parliament on the point of the constitution
atty of the use by England Of her Indian
army in Europe, though it will be felt, OF
course, that the directors are less eager to
defend the constitution than to use it as an
implement against the war policy. The
declaration that s'no forces shall be raised
or kept in time OF peace outside of India
without the consent of Parliament" would
in the circumstances be sharp rebuke OF
the government; yet everybody recognizes
that it would only be simple assertion OF
a well recognized constitutional principle.
Part of the system OF the English govern
ment machinery is formed in order that
England may be left without an armed force
in Europe unless Parliament is regularly
called to appropriate money for it's support.
1t is, therefore, the ''prerogatiye" Of Parlia-
ment to say whether England shall
have an army in Europe and how
many men there shall be in the
army if there is one; but the pursuit of the
Ministerial programme would put an end
to that. If British sovereign may use the
Indian army in Europe the Parliamentary
control over the war-making power is lost.
Perhaps the issue is not vital one just
now, and nobody apprehends that sover-
eign would be dangerous to English liber-
ties to-day if Parliament were tied up in
other respects as we'll rs this; but it can
hardly be understood here with what tenac-
ity these points of constitutional conse-
quence are maintained in England, and that
tenacity will give interest to this debate

MARKETS.

The week ending to-day has been
uneventful, and everything runs along
about as smooth as could be expected.
The receipts of produce for the week,
while not large, was fully up to the
demand, but previous quotations
were scarcely sustained, although
there is no visible decline. Owing to
the favorable prospects for large
crop of wheat, the price of flour is
tending downward. The market is
well supplied with vegetables and
berries, and prices are constantly go-
ing lower, so much so that quotations
are difficult to give. Cherries with
stems attached were dull to-day at
cents per quart. Spring chickens are
becoming plenty, and prices have de-
clined to 50 90 per dozen for the best
quality. Potatoes of this years
growth sold to-day at 81 00@$l ID.
Wool is coming into market il
large quantities and while we wish
it was otherwise the fact is that it has
declined l to cents per pound. II
seems to us that prices can't go much
lower and there is a bare possibility
that it may soon go higher, there
fore we think farmers lose nothing
by holding on to their wool for the
present.
In live stock the only change is il
hogs which have taken quite a turf
for the better. The quotations below
are as reliable as could be obtainet

What ts kiIIinp Business.


Under the above caption the Indi-
annapolis Journal gives the following
sensible opinions concerning the stag
nation of business affairs throughout
the country. The Journal says:
What is killing business This is
what is doing it, viz: the growth of
Communism, the agitation of the
intlationists and the threatening atti-
tude ofdemocrats in congress. All of
these causes are operating in the same
direction, and together they are kill
ing business, by alarming capital and
retarding the growth of confidence.
The communists, the infationists. the
nationals, the repudiationists and the
democrats are natural allies, and to-
gether they represent the aggregate
influence which is making capital
timid, preventing it's investment in
active enterprises, keeping up the
rate of interest, and preventing re-
vival of business. What manufactu-
rer would be fool enough to enlarge
his operations, what capitalist would
be idiot enough to invest his money
in active enterprise, or who that has
money to loan would care to lend il
when the communists are threaten
ing to rise in dozen cities; when
the inflatlonists are clamoring for an
unlimited issue Of greenbacks; when
the nationals are holding state con-
ventions to denounce "credit mon.
gers" and demand an issue:of s'fiat
money" and when the democrats in
congress are pushing forward the
scheme to Mexicanize the govern.
ment? These areithe men and the in.
tluences which are killing business
If the American people want gen
uine and healthy restoration of bust
ness they must resolutely attack and
crush this hydra-headed monster
which, under the names of commun.
ism, imitation, neutrality-suspicious.
and democracy, is killing business
and threatening the existence of thu
government.
