A PROMINENT business man in New York !,
in reference TO the refusal Of tho authorities
of that Stale to permit the funds OF the
savings banks there 10 ne Invested III the
new Georgia bonds, says:
"Thc most e!lectuai way TO prevent the
State of Georgia from repudiating additional
bonds aud adding thereby 10 the national
disgrace, is TO see 10 it that no other bonds
issued by that Stale hereafter are permitted
to be placed outside Of her own boundary.
If the State is so prosperous "a Is now claim
ed by those seeking 10 place these ne"
obligations, then it should he in the power
of their own people to invest in them, and
in that event the State will most likely
keep good faith with her new batch OF cred
itors."
Wouldn't it have been better for Georgia
and all the people thereof if she had not
repudiated one class Of her bonds, even
though they were fraudulent, and issued by
her carpet bag government? And IL so,
how much better would it he for Virginia il
she would redeem her legal bonds, issued
by her own government, aud every dollar
of the money raised by them spent upon
work of internal improvement within her
own borders?

Tragedy Averted.

A sensational attempt at wife murder oc
CURED in Decatur, H., last Wednesday
morning. Professor Charles Castleman wen
there from Virginia in May last, accompa
MED by his wife and three children. He
was on his way to Upton, Mo-, but was
forced to stop because he had displayed evi
dences Of insanity. The family had plenty
of money and began housekeeping. The
Professor, who was Il noted scholar in Vir.
ginia, where he had been connected with the
Leesburg Academy for many years, took ii
notion hat he would go hack to Virginia
and had arranged to start. Wednesday
night IL friend sat up with the Professor
who had been acting queerly. Shortly after
two o'clock Castleman got a revolver and
suddenly went out Of the room to where his
wife was sleeping, crying out that he would
kill the children and himself He had cock
ed the revolver aud had taken aim when
the frightened watcher made lucky catch
at the maduau's arm, and in desperate
struggle disarmed him.
Neighhors who heard the cries came to the
house. 1t took half dozen men to put
Castlemau under control. He severely in
jured several of them. The officers took him
to Jail. He is q very talented man of about
thirty. eight years. His reason is dethroned
because of too close application to study.
The wife, who is greatly distressed, sent
word 10 Virginia for relatives to come out
and take charge Of the professor.

The PRESIDENT of Chill is wise man
He says, and truly, there is no need for
special trade treaties as under existing ar
rangements the people OF his country can
buy and sell where they please, and that he
believes in letting trade take care of itself,
unfettered by any governmental restric-
tions. That's the right way to talk. The
time for the protection OF ''infant indus
tries" has long since gone, and the ago is
too far advanced for such policy ever to
return with advantage t. the country. Ev-
cry body should be allowed to sell in the
dearest, and buy in the cheapest market.
And how any other policy can exist in
country where every man has right to
vote ,and especially in land of free schools,
is hard to comprehend.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,

Hon. p Henry DuqgO, Graid Sd:hem:
DEAR SIR: beg leave to acknowledge tho 70
ceipt Of your invitation to Join the Society Of
Tammany in its ninety seventh celebration of the
Fourth Of July, the birthday of the Republic. l
regret that the pressure of official duties aud en-.
gagements prevent the acceptance OF this kind in
vitaton.
or the purposes sought to be accomplished by
the people in their recent choice of n Chief Magis-
trate referred to in your note of invitation, am
seriously mindful In order that the hopes Of the
p,ople may he fully realized, every member of
the party intrusted with pawer should yield q
cordial support to all efforts on the part of the
Administration to res ore q pure, free and just
Government.
The statement contained in your note that "the
Administration Should 50 discharge all its func.
tions as to merit not only the appreciation of the
people, but Mt the same time insure harmonious
party united in Jefers0uian democracy" meets
my approval; although my conception of the true
purposes and the mission of my party convinces
me that ic the present Administration merits the
intelligent approval of the people, this result of
itself, certainly should Ensure harmonious par
ty united in JeGersonian democracy"
While the coming celebration will revive and
keep alive the memory Of patriotic devotion and
sacrifice for the sake of free institution, no occa-
sion is proptious for renewal of our pledges
to a true and progressive democracy so essential
to our count1y's safety and prosperity. Yours
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

MONDAY EVENING, JULY 6.

Tn AN article in the June number OF inc
Century Magazine, entitled I'm and out o,

that the United States flag was Kissed upon

satisfactory denial of the truth OF that state
ment by the associate editor of the leading
rewspaper of New Orleans, corroborated
bv a we'll known and reliable gentleman
from Philadelphia, who was on The platform
at the time the alleged kissing took place,
aud who proposed cheers for the flag. Not
Niihstandinp this, the editor of the Century

doesn't say what there was some hlsslng'
Int whether meant for the flag or not II

what can be said Of the editor Of The Centn'

could any sane Southern man now have IN
Kissing the United States flag? If that be
so, and there lie none, why is it difficult foi
the editor referred to to say whether the
alleged Kissing was intended for the flag OF
not? The late Wendell Phillips used to
say the people Of TIC South were wiser pol

editor of the. Century evidently doesn't
agree with him.
