Erect of Grants Letter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Gen. Sherman was
asked to-day what effect Gen. Grants letter
would have upon the movement for his relief.
He replied: "Oh, of course that Will put a
stop TO the whole thing and nothing more WILL
be done about it. 1 presume, though, that the
legal defense which was secured for him will
be retained. Gen. Grant has friends who will
look out for his interest outside of those who
were interesting themselves in his behalf in
this narticular instance.

The Rnckner Rin rah1ed

WASHINGTON. Jan. THE friends of the
"buzzard" dollar, who compose the majority
of the House Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures, to-day tabled the Buckner bill,
which provides for a suspension OF the coin
age of standard silver dollars, and authorizes
the President to undertake negotiations with
European governments with view to an in
ternauOnal agreement respecting silver.
This action plainly shows that no action will
be taken by this Congress to relieve the cOun-
try from the danger by which it is threat
ened through the operation of the compul-
sorry silver coinage act. Whether the
House Will agree to any meas
ure designed to give stability to the
national banking system is uncertain. The
Mcpherson bill and the Dingley bill are to be
considered next week, but Chairman Buck
ner is not confident that either will pass the
House. Yesterday he withdrew his bill to
provide for the issue of Treasury notes in lieu
Of national bank notes returned, in order To
prevent a contraction Of the paper circula-
tiOn, and he will offer it as an amendment to
the Mcpherson bill. which Is the first measure
to be considered one week from to- O-mOrroW
Mr.. Chase, who is a member of the Coinage
Committee, to-day SAID that he regards as ex-
tremely doubtful the prospect of any currency
legislation by the present Congress.

A WEEK OF DISASTERS.
457 Failures Reported by r. G. Dun &
Co. for the Past Seven Days.

40 Z alluTSS hepOTBS0 by IL. L. Dun ~
Co. for the Past Seven Days.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The business failures
during the week as reported to r. G. Dun &
Co., number for the United States 429 and
Canada IS, total of 457, which is far in ex-
cess of any previous chronicle. The increase
Is IN the South ana West, where the failures
are probably twice as numerous as they were
during ordinary weeks in 1884.
Toe following are among the failures re-
ported to-day: d. +. Nelms, a planter and
general stOrekeeper near Albany, Ga.
y. Newmyer dry goods dealer at Griffin,
Ga.
Stix Bros, and Herman & Co cloaks and
suits, New \ Ork city, who dissolved on Dec.
81 by limitation, have made an assignment,
making preferences to the amount of $50000
The Liabilities amount to $4,000. of which
$4,000 is for merchandise and the balance Is
borrowed money. Their assets are not yet
definitely known, but nominaly will amount
to the liabilities.
THE BANK OF AUGUSTA ASSIGNS.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 9.-The Bank OF Augusta,
an institution chartered by the State many
years before the war, h4s made an assign
ment to Harper Bros. ATTORNEYS, for the ben
eht of its creditors. William Roberts is
President OF the bank. The assignment has
caused sensation. Two years ago the cap
ltal stock was reduced from 81 $4,000 to $780,
600. The assignment was due to advances
made on the bonds of certain railroads in
south Carolina, amounting to Sl30,000, be-
sides loan of $4,000 made TO Roberts Il Co.
These two loans consumed the entire capital
stock. The bank holds as collateral $3.50 900
in the bonds of the Georgetown and Lanes
Railway, on which it is unable to realize, and
mortgages on stock and on open accounts. 1t
is saId that the stockholders will not realize
anything.

ent they are, and how they harmon
ize with each other:
Next we would ask: Have our
county affairs been economically man
aged?
Our county taxes have been until
the present year 1.-THE reduction in
taxes this year is chiefly due to the
rapid Increase of property, especially
at MI. Lake Park. ElkinS, and to the
gradual development of the county,
ana Is a source of cOngratulation to
our cltizensl higher than that of any
other county in the State, and our
roads, which should be at least reas-
0nably good under this high taxa
ton, are just the opposite.
what must be said of that economy
| which Will hire man to collect cOun-
ty taxes at five per cent. when COM
| petent and reliable parties offered to
do the same at 81 per cent.
This is precisely what has been
done by the present incumbent Board
or commissioners. The APP
plication of the afOregoing is so APP
parent that we need hardly make it.
Inc Republican party is responsible
for this state of things. 1t cannot he
charged against the Democrats, be-
cause majority of the Republicans
nave controlled the actions of our
county Boards Of comm iSsiOnerS.
Elect the nominees of the Democratic
party at the coming election, and a
change for the better will surely
come"
IIeNx basis of taxation for 1885 is
: = $40, l47v-ar Sill, $40, more than in
] 1888, yet the rate of taxation for 1885
is 23@ cents more than 1888, aud II
cents higher than for any year, 1884
excepted, since the formation of the
county.
From the aboye we see that there
is no sincerity in the position of the
Democrat, it is that of a hypocrite,
whose clap-trap statements and pc.
ltical gush are heraIded throughout
the county for the purpose Of hiding
from view the short comings, to
| cover over the mis-deeds, and draw
the attention of the tax payers from
the NAL administration Of public af-
! fairs, for which no reasonable or
plausible excuse can be offered by the
| first, the only, and it is, in the face of
all these circumstances hoped, the
! last Board of Democratic commission
ers in the history Of Garrett county.
Not only is the Democrat hypocriti-
cal in this, but when we consider the
! language of its editor in expressing
his opinion Of the present Board in
private, so sarcastic, cutting and
sayOring of contempt, and strongly
in contrast with his published eX-
preSsiOns, the article in his last issue
relds like the keenest and seYerest
irony.
In conclusion we again quote from
the Democrat Of Nov. Sd, 1888.
"What are the dictates of reason
concerning the two parties seeking
| the future control of our county ai-
fairs? Isit wise to continue the pres
sent party in power with this record
before US? Have we any guarantee
of WHAT the future county manage.
ment shall be other than the voice OF
the past? The only hope lies in a
change of administration. These are
not words of a clap-trap politician,
but the plain utterances of facts That
cannot be gainsaid. Citizens of Gar
rett, Of whatever political party, let
US heed this solemn warning"
