NIercantiIe FaiIures.

New YORK, March, 3.-Messrs. r.
G. Dun & Co., mercantile agency
report that the business failures
throughout the country were one
hundred and thirty-seven, against
one hundred and twenty-eight last
week. The eastern states furnished
eleven, the western states forty five,
the southern states thirty-nine, the
middle states twenty-nine, the Pa
cific coast and territories six, and
New York city seven.
In the city of New York the most
important failure is that of Cozad,
Brooks & Reynold, who have liabil-
tiles amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars, mostly abroad.
This disaster is said to have been
caused, remotely, by the collapse of
the Union Generate, of Paris, and
the contraction of continental bank
ing facilities resulting therefrom.

MAD GEORGIANs.
A Wall Among Southern Carpet
Baggers over LOngstreet's
Influence with the
Administration.

"A Washington special: There are
some mad Georgians. They say Ar
thur is in the hands of Longstreet,
so far as southern appointments are
concerned, and that "native-bOrn"
men will be the only ones appointed
to office. On the part of"Col." Jack
Brown, it is alleged that Capt. Clark,
collector of internal revenue at. At
lanta, is q "carpet-bagger," and so it
was settled that he must GO; also
Col. John T. Collins, the collector of
customs at Brunswick, Ca, while
Wade, the collector of internal reve-
nue. at savannah, is to stay because
the latter is q "native" southerner.
Clark is said to be a first-rate officer,
and Collins has been one of the best
in the whole South Atlantic sea-
board. These angry Republicans
say 1t is part of the general
plan of Longstreet and his hench-
man, Jack Brown, to Gust every ex
union officer from federal Offices
throughout the state. The postmas-
ter at Macon, Ga, is now the only
one left. Collins Is to be removed
| to give place to one Slidelite, Aleck
Stephens private secretary. "Thus
do we conciliate," said the angry
Republican, but the country is not
likely to suffer on this account, even
if the Republican party in Georgia
does. 1t is said that the plan and
purpose of the president was to ap
point the "native-bornn to all the
southern places, but why he made
an exception of the mulatto gam
bier, Pinchback, no one knows.

HOAR AND LOGAN. O.
Trite and Touching Interview of
Two Enemies with The
President.

WAsHINGToN.-T personal I'M
pleasantness between Messrs. Logan
and Hoar, which has existed for a
long time, has developed into bit
ter phase in connection with the
fight over the nomination Of Mr..
COnkling. Both called OH the pres
ident-Mr. Hoar to explain his
speech against Mr.. COnkling, and
Mr.. Logan to abuse Mr.. Hoar. 1t
so happened that both called at
about the same moment. Mr.. Lo-
gan was received at once and
shown into the library. A friend of
Mr.. Logan, who seemed to know
what happened so certainly, that
the belief is justified that he got it
from Mr.. Logan's lips, says that the
general went at once to the meat of
the matter. He described Mr.. Lo-
gan as making a speech in about
these words: -. ...
"You can't satisfy those fellows,
Mr.. President. Don't you see there
isn't any use of try1ng? They'll be
good enough to you so long as you
give them all they ask, but if you
tread on their toes they boiler.
You gave them Gray and they said
you did your duty. Now you make
q nomination on your own account,
and they try to sit on it. L just
want to say that it isn't any use
fussing with them any longer. The
fights got to come, and we might
as well have it out and over. L
want to see them all squeezed"
The president listened quietly,
and, there are some reasons to be-
lieve, not without sly amusement.
Then Logan took his hat and
marched away, feeling much easier
for having freed his mind.
Then it was Hoar's turn. l do
not know exactly what he said, but
friends report that he told the
president that the published account
of his speech greatly misrepresented
him, and that he had confined his
objections to Conkling only, simply
to those that touched on mental and
legal qualifications for the higher
honor. .s
The president listened, but could
have said little, for the interview
was brief.
The senators smile demurely to-
night when they are told that Hoar's
friends say that he made such ex-
plantations as this to the president,
and one of them says that if he did
he must have made it in pickwick-
ldu sense. d -f.I d. JLul

II THE postofiice bill, that has
been adopted by the house, becomes
a law, il will do away with sub
letting of contracts for star route
service. The bill is favored because
It offers a means to break up the
combinations of the star route con-
tractors, who manage to pick up
most of the ten thousand star routes
to the exclusion of local bidders.
The opponents of the bill say the
enforcement of the bill would in
crease the liabilities of the postoffice
department, since those who bid ex-
pecting to sub-let contracts always
propose more advantageously than
the local bidders. With honest admin
istration the discrimination against
local bidders would increase the
expense, but the plan with the ring
has been to bid less than the local
bidder, and then under a subse-
quent arrangement for increased
service and greater expedition, the
price is raised to many times what
the local contractor would charge.
1t is evident the members of the
ring intend to hold the service If in
their power to do so. Different
names may be used in bidding, but
the ring lives, for having robbed the
country of millions in the past and
being now a little annoyed, they
naturally have desire to protract
their right to draw on the treasury

ALUCKY INVESTOR.
The Success that has Followed
General SanfOrd's Florida
Venture.

FLORIDA Correspondent Atlanta constitutional
Decidedly the most notable figure
in the history of Florida develop
ment is General Saniard, Connec-
ticut man. His life has been a bril-
liant one. He inherited a fortune,
married another, and by the luckiest
ventures added largely to both. He
always lived lavishly aud had loose
busidess methods, but an ire
pressible luck attend all his
investments. He made considerable
money in the Wheeler & Wilson
company. The most of his life has
been spent in diplomatic service.
When quite young he went as sec
rotary of legation to st. Petersburg,
and was for some time the acting
minister to France in the absence of
Mr.. Rives, whose chief clerk he was.
For several years he was minister
to Belgium, and was re-appointed
by Mr.. Hayes, but the senate failed
to confirm him.
His Investments in Florida began
with the purchase of 10000 acres
Spanish grant afterwards known
as the Sanford,grant. He paid $780,
600 for this, and at once began a
series of improvements. He built
two hotels at an expense of about
100000, and laid out the town OF
Sanford, which now has over 1000 in
habitants. He established grove
ON the edge of Lake Monwe at
cost of $4,000, and then, finding the
ground and exposure unsuitable,
transplanted it and established the
now famous Belair grove.
He intended to make this
nursery of all fruits adapted to Flor
ida, and therefore imported the best
orange, lemon, lime, fig, citron and
guava trees at great cost, until he
had spent 100000 on the 'grove. 1t
Is estimated that he expended over
100000 on his grant, making the
total cost about $250,000. He sold
probably about 100000 worth of
lands and lots to settlers, and short
time since the bulk of the rest to
an English company for $500, 900.
He reserved, however, his Bel
air grove, worth $4,000. Some
say that he also reserved the two
hotels, and others that he reserved
also one-third of what he said, and
in the meantime six thousand acres
have been added by later purchase.
He cleared.a very handsome fortune
by his Florida investments, besides
developing one of the best sections
of the state. AT one time he came
near being elected United States
senator from Florida, it being said
that he failed through lack of nerve.
He now lives in Belgium, having
proceeded there Immediately upon
his nomination by Mr.. Evarts, never
dreaming that his confirmation
would fail. He fitted up his elegant
home there and is bound to Keep it
for several years. He is an agreea-
BILE, accomplished gentleman, and
believes thoroughly in the future of
Florida. He has large interests in
Alabama and Louisiana, lives hap

A GREENBACK convention lately
held at Palmyra, Missouri, adopted
a platform, one plank of which was
taken from Democratic platforms I;
in fact it contains sound Democratic
doctrine, and it is therefore sug-
gested in Missouri that if the Green
hackers will stop their third party
foolishness they may really find all
the reasonable comfort man may
want in the Democratic party. The
truth is, the Greenback party within
itself is a powerless factor in
the politics of the country, and the
purposes for which it was organized
are false, and hence of no influence.
Having no true principles by which
to solve any political problem, there
is no wonder that Greenbackers
now try TO steal Democratic thun-
der but this abandonment of pur-
pose shows the wretcheduess of
their organization, and knowing it,
they are trying to ally themselves
with everything, Dennis Kearney
included, that will give them any
promise Of temporary position
Therefore il may be concluded that
they are not honest in their declara-
tion, that principles are nothing to
them, and that they now steal planks
from Democratic platforms because
they think it will bring popularity
in a Democratic state, and probably
pull offa few more soft Democrats
from allegiance to party. Compare
this Missouri platform with the plat
forms made by the same party in
Maine, and you will find very radi.
cal differences. The reason for this
is that different character of chat
Is needed in Maine to catch the soft
Republican from that which Il
needed in Missouri to catct
the soft Democrats. The
movement Of Greenbackers in al
the states is simply to win Offices
from the party in power, whether
tins be Democratic or Republican
They have no truth to cling to, ant
were it not for the hope of a few
offices, they would never more b.
heard of in the United states.
