The Alleged Luck Of Certain News
paper Men.

Such is the caption which our Augusts
namesSke gives to the following extract
from the Atlanta correspondence Of the
Griffin Neios. 1t will be observed that the
correspondent gives ian Atlanta reporter
as authority for his statements. The writer
SAYS:
The Exposition, the Legislature, and
great interest In railroads now being devel-
Oped, give Atlanta sn air Of liveliness quite
beyond the ordinary rush OF things az the
capital. By the way, speaking OF railroads,
reminds me Of what heard In the Markham
from an Atlanta reporter Thursday evening.
A prominent railroad man said yesterday
that Messrs, Walsh & Randall, of the Au
gustS CbrOEiele, owned $4,000 worth Of
stock in the new Cole charter. also heard
that Henry Grady told Arthur Gray that the
C0HGifisfEozs also owned another SIS, 600 In
he same stock, and now the query comes
up: How did this thing hsppen, since no
subscription books have ever been openeif
Il would seem that TO these paper almost
alone is due the credit Of the Colo boom in
Georgia"

Judge Holt and Ex-Governor Thomas
on Judge Blacks Vindieati0n.

In connection with the events of January,
1851, Mr.. Davis, Ia his 'sRise and Fall % the
Confederate Government" critcises Prest-
dent Buchsnan's neglect to surrender Fort
Sumter to South Carolina, for whose pro-
lection It was built, as inconsistent with
his views as to the relation of the General
Government to the States, and due to t.
midity rather than conviction. This criu-
cism has called forth Judge Jere Black,
who, in an interview published in the
Philadelphia Press, comes to the ex-Presi-
dents defense, and takes advantage Of the
opportunity thus presented to rehsbilitate
his own and President Buchanan's reputa-
ton for loyalty TO the Union. After coneed-
ing that he "does not believe that Mr.. Davis
would make willful misststemsut for any
earthly consideration he goes on to prove
that it Was not Mr.. Buehanan's fault that
reinforcements were not sent sufficiently
early TO Fort Sumter, Ibut that General
Scott was constantly whispering into Mr..
BUehAnsn's ear his peculiar views in rela-
ton 10 the right of States to seeede, and
thus thwsrting the efforts some members
OF the Cabinet were making for the rein
forcement Of the fort" Judge Black lsbors
10 show that he, Stanton and Holt were
the members Of the Cabinet who IN
wsveringly maintained and acted upon
the doctrine that "the Union is ne
eessarily perpetual" etc. The sum OF
his argument is this, that President
BuehSnan's policy was "simply to pre-
serve the peace" until the expiration of bis
term of Office, but that he did finally order
the reinforeements to be sent. In second
interview, Judge Black calls attention to
the fact that Mr.. Lincoln invited the nego-
tistions" with the Southern leaders (Which
Buchanan had repealed, and temporlzed
and vscillated about surrendering Fort
Sumter" that ''his Cabinet voted six to
one in favor Of it, and his Secretary Of
State pledged his faith to give It up"
and that finally, "When Mr.. Lincoln re-
fused to execute the pledge, Seward. in
an underhsnd way, did all he could to
prevent the success Of the relieving
expedition" Ex-Gov. Thomas Of Mary
Land, At that time s member Of
BucaAnan's Cabinet, sustAins Judge Blacks
vindieation of himself, and in last Fridays
Pres Is published 8 long interview with
Judge Holt, who, in most respects, also con-
firms Judge Blacks claims both for himself
and for President Buchanan. Judge bolt
was Secretary Of War after Mr.. Floyd's
withdrawal. Judge Holt justifes his state
ments with numerous valuable documents,
and makes notable contribution to the
history Of the dissensions OF Mr.. BuehAnan's
cabinet On one important point he does
no. sustain Judge Black He exonerates
Gen. Scott, not only from doubts as to his
loyalty to the Union, but also from doubts
IS to his active cooperation in efforts to re-
/ lieve the garrison Of Fort Sumter.

The report Of the British Postmaster G,

The report Of the British Postmaster Gen,
eral shows al Increase of las FER cent. in
the numhA- ~ -~<i-sS4CG IuTUc4s for the ms
tsl year ended March 81, and decrease Of
20 per cent. in number and - per cent. in
amount OF money-orders for the same
period. The money-order system has not
come up to public expectation either N
this country or Great Britain. 1t Is selumsy
continuance. There are too many forms to
be observed; the delay in getting the order
or the advice" is often considerable, ard
the loss Of time in proportion. The utility
Of the moneY-order is much diminished in
this country by permitting the clerks in
large cities TO keep bank hours. LsbOrir z
men and women who have to 90 TO the
Office in person to get orders cashed or
written lose part Of their valuable tine
merely TO save the postal clerks from ineon-
venience. The money order system is in 5
measure a failure. II viii eventually lie
superseded BY the introduction Of negotis-
Die postal checks and an extension Of the
registry system, which Is now almost an
absolute protection sgainst loss, and is more
expeditions and economical and simpler
than the money -order.

Lease Of the Cincinnati southern.

The most important event connected with
the history Of Cincinnati since the decision
to build the Southern Railroad was the
action OF the Trustees on Saturday Ia leas-
ing the property for twenty-five years at
figures that greatly exceeded the expecta-
tons Of cur citizens. The Wolfe bid, which
public sentiment had already virtually de-
cided upon as the highest and best. was &C
cepted by unanimous vote of the Trustees,
snd thus the latter are for once, at least, IN
full accord with the great body Of tax
payers The citizens Of Cincinnati are TO
be congratulated upon this favorable out
come of their great enterprise, and those
who originated the latter and carried It
through under many discouragements aud
against much opposition are also to be con-
graduated upon the full win dication OF their
judgment. The Southern Road was built at
the rghs time, and it has been disposed Of
st the right time and in the best possible
way. The city is also to be congratulated
upon the fact that the road has been leased
by wealthy capitalists who have not been
educated in the American school Of Grail
road men," who are able to do sll they I'M
dertske, and who in promoting their own
interests must promote and develop the in
terests Of the Southern Road and the city of
Cincinnati.

Among the securities stolen from the
Northampton Bank, which was entered by
burglars in January, 1876, were some mort
gage coupon bonds Of the Pacific Railroad
Of Missouri owned by Mrs. Fanny d. Wy lie.
Thirty six overdue coupons Of the value Of
$l,OSO, cut from these bonds, were sold in
1878 by Lsgrave, the notorious criminal, to
Leopold Gompert, q merchant of Frankfort
on-the- Main. Gompert sold the coupons for
their full value to banking firm in Frank
fort, and the firm sent them to Spever s.
Co., OF New York, who presented item for
payment and obtained check for thS.f value
from the RAILROAD company. Mrs. WYlie
heard OF this, and began q suit against
Speyer & Co. to re-establish her right to the
coupons, and obtained an injunction re-
strsinlng the railroad company from paying
the check 1t gave to the defendants. The
suit was tried In Supreme Court Chambers,
before Judge Van Worst, who has rendered
3 decision in favor OF Mrs. Wylie.

the fact that under the Constitu-
ton the President mus: be a

Eve years Of sge, and he must have
been fourteen years 3 resident Of the
United States" Neither s Senator nor a
Representative is required TO be = natural
horn citizen, and the former needs only 10
be thirty years old, and to have been nine
years s citizen and resident, and the latter
needs 10 be only twenty-five years old and
seven years s citizen ard resident. But any
Senator may be chosen President pro tsTgpoTr
OF the Senate, and Any.Representztive may
be chosen Speaker ~ the House. Il might
easily happen, therefore, that in the direc.
line Of succession to the Office Of the Presi-
dency, under existing laws Of Congress,
there might be s foreign born citizen, or
native born citizen under thirty five.

A WORD ABOUT MoNKT.-It is a bad sign
when the speculative elements look for re-
lief in their predicameDt, not to prosperity
Of the country resulting from bouuteous
haryests, but to easy money, and that TO be
furnished by Secretary Window. There
will be heavy contraction in all business
as soon as the crop failure begins to affect
the pockets OF the people and the volume
Of transportation Of the railroads. Money
win be easy enough, but very hard to get.
Remember that stocks were the lowest when
we had the cheapest money. This was
when seats in the Stock Exchange sold for
from 81 500 to S, 5000 Hdl Street Mas.
