Success Of Domestic Loan.
- Georgia has just disposed of large four
per cent. loan to her OVID citizens without the
of a penny in the way Of adver-
tising or commissions, and is quite justified
in feeling rather proud about it. When
Mr.. Garrard, young man serving his first
term in the Legislature, brought forward
the scheme of such loan, he was laughed
at, but he felt sure he was right, and kept
pegging away till he succeeded in getting his
bill through. The result has fully justified
his confidence The State Treasurer simply
gave notice that the bonds were to be had, and
they have all been sold over his counter
without any expense to the State, the great
bulk being taken by small investors and
scarcely any going outside of Georgia; while
orders for $15O,O00 more we're on hand when
the last had been disposed Of. There could
be no more convincing proof Of the States
financial soundness, and good judges already
predict that the whole indebtedness, which
now pays seven and eight per cent. interest,
will soon be refunded in fours, thus reducing
the burden of the interest charge nearly one
half. IT,. ..
The Army Appropriation Bill.
- The army appropriation bill having
passed the Senate with the provision prohib-
iting the use of troops at the polls, speculation
is rife as to what disposition will be made of
it by the President. While it has been given
out, as if by authority, that he will veto the
bill, the contrary opinion prevails with many
that it will receive his official sanction. The
New York Herald argues to that effect as
follows: .... ,... ... ...., ,..s.
He cannot veto the army bill merely be
cause his own party demand and expect it.
He cannot veto the army bill on account Of
something which may or may not be in the
legislative appropriation bill. He cannot
veto it because other legislation is attached to
it as a rider, for that is the common practice
of Congress. He cannot veto iton the ground
that he thinks the presence of soldiers at the
polls is necessary, because, in the first place,
he does not think so, and has officially de-
clared his repugnance to interfering with civ.
il government by the military arm, and be-
cause, as Mr.. Blaine showed in his late speech,
the soldiers are not to be had for the pur-
pose, even if they were needed. In fact q
veto can no more be justified to the country
at large upon rational grounds, than a refusal
to veto the bill could be justified to the
''stslwarts" upon any ground. 81
