A Problem.

Our Cincinnati contemporary the
Commercial Gazette never tires Of
waving the bloody shirt. In late
issue it says:
There are not half as many votes
cast in Georgia as in Ohio for members
of Congress and presidential electors.
Is it raising sectional issue to object
to this system Of Inequality"
But the population Of 8 congressional
district in Georgia is the same las near
ly as possible) as the population of a
congressional district in Ohio. Do you
propose to compel the voters to turn
out on election days and cast as many
votes in each district as are cast in a
district in Ohio? Or will you adopt
the census figures, and have all the
negro voters counted for the Republican
candidate whether they vote or not
Wherein consists the "inequality?" Is
it in the fact that the negroes do not
prize the right Of suffrage? Would
YOU disfranchise them?
Look at Rhode Island and tell us
what you think of the inequality "
of allowing that little State the same
strength in the United States Senate
that New York State has. But you
will say the Constitution guarantees
that strength to Rhode Island. Yes
and the Constitution guarantees to
Georgia ten congressman, whether the
negroes vote for any of them or not.

he credit Of tho Commcnwea'tn suns
soth Ii ts6s.s and We are informed
that the Commissioners Of tho Sinking
Fund expect to advertise for the pur-
chase Of RrpDLEBERoEB bonds on the
first Monday in July, under the act OF
March Is, iss4--a proceeding they
deemed prudent TO suspend in April
last until they could see the effect Of
the decisions Of tho Supreme Court, but
which they think they can safely re-
sumo under the present aspect OF the
States finances, and in view Of the
very slight effect Of the late decisions.
The funding Of the past month has
been ~ follows:
FOR which there have been Is
sued new sio,'oV -
which is an increase Of more than
goo, 600 over the last month.
All this betokens that the RIDDLE
BERGER bonds are deemed good in
vestment.
What the future shall be we cannot
tell as yet. The bondholders who
have not funded up to date will, under
sct Of goth November, 1884, lose six
months interest, and will do Che same
for every six months hereafter, if they
defer, and they cannot long afford to do
nothing; for on the LIST day Of January
next they will have on their hand an
accumulation ofsome three and ahalfmil-
lions, face value Of coupons, bearing no
interest. present they have only the
alternative of funding in RrDDLEBER-
GERS or of throwing themselves into
General MAHoNE's arms.
There are rumors, nothing more, OF
some proposition Of compromise to be
submitted by the bondholders. But
the State has authorized no one to en-
terrain such aproposition; and the Gov
ernor cannot be expected to convene
the Legislature for such purpose.
The truth is that any proposition Of
compromise offered to party pledged
to make the fight on the issue of
the RIDDLEBERGER settlement is
really proposition to change front in
the face Of the enemy; proposition,
therefore, not to be entertained, be-
cause it is subject to the natural suspi-
cion Of hostile intent. Amy such, if
meant to be acceptable, must be made
to . victorious party; aud then it may
be too late.

Mr. KelleY's Case.

1t will be well for the public to
recollect that Mr.. KELLEY has not
been recalled, and that if he shall here.
after be recalled it will not be because
VICTOR EMANUEL's son objects to
his reception at the court Of Austria.
No nation in Christendom would ask
to have Minister recalled, or refuse
to receive Minister, for such reason.
FRANCIS JOSEPH may allow such a
reason to influence his action, but he
will never let the fact be made public.
Austria has the right to refuse to re-
ceive Mr.. KELLEY without assigning any
reason for the refusal. UNCLE SAM
has the same right to send home the
Austrian Minister TO this country, and
We hope he will exercise it if Mr..
KELLEY is for any cause compelled to
forego the honor Of representing his
country abroad.

About the state Debt.


On reading the reports Of the stock
market one sees this quotation

W.. con. tax rec. COUP. 'ss..-..-si %
Why this diiferences Because the
coupons Of 'S2, Of which there are
comparatively few, are fundable at par
into RrppLEBERaER 3's, and there
fore always quotsble at the same price
with those bonds. The coupons OF 'SS
are fundabls at only so cents in the dol
lw.
But il they are receivable for taxes
why do they not bring more than 81
cents in the dollar? Because, owing
to the difficulties Of using them in that
way, due partly to the necessity Of
proving them in court before q jury,
and partly to the fact that the people
have periodically decided not to use
them in that way, very few indeed are
paid, or even offered to be paid, for
taxes.

Pubic Spirit.

The Democrats Of Virginia are, we
doubt not, willing to confer with one
another, and, after full consideration
Of al the questions involved, nominate
for Governor the man who will most
certainly lead the Democratic nosts to
victory. We mentioned yesterday the
fact that comparatively few counties
instruct their delegates, almost all Of
them deeming it best to let the candi-
date for Governor be selected after,
and not before, all the reasons for and
against his nomination have been stated
and pondercd. This disposition we may
call public spirit, as contradistinguish-
ed from the feeling which leads men to
press the /" claims" Of their favorites
snd to subordinate the good Of the
party to their personal wishes. The
Daavillc Register presents in the fol-
lowing paragraph almost identically the
same view which we presented in our
leader of yesterday. 1t says:
ave note with pleasure the good
feeling pervadiDg the entire Democratic
party Of the State as manifested in the
various county conventions called to Sc
lect delegates to the State Convention.
OF course each locality has its own pre-
ference for the State ticket. but as
almost all the delegates are uninstruct-
ed for any particular individual, we
take it for granted that the real feeling
actuating the people is to select the
best man and thus secure the defeat Of
the Mahoneites.
From the fact that but few delegates
are instructed, the Register naturally
infers that the people desire rather to
nominate the best man than to push
the fortunes Of any favorite. wisely
holding that there may be reasons I'M
known to them at home which they will
learn in the Convention why their IA
vorite ought not to be placed at the
head of the ticket. The Fredericksburg
Star says:
1--WE sincerely trust that the repre-
sentatives of the Democracy who will
assemble in Richmond on the Goth OF
July will have an eye single to the Sc
lection of ticket that will be strong
with the masses. Personal considera-
tons must be laid aside. Give the De-
mocracy a popular ticket, and success
is assured. We heartily endorse the
suggestion of the Richmond Dispatch
that the nominations Of candidates be
made on one day and that balloting be
had ON the next. This plan, if adopted,
will give the representatives time to
discuss the candidates and their rela-
tive strength before the people. By ali
means let there be harmony"
We are confident that all good Dem
ocrats-that is, all who prefer the sue
cess Of the party to the nomination OF
a favorite, will approve the views set
forth by our contemporaries hereinbe-
fore named. .-.---

The Constitution carefully provides
for the independence of each OF the
three great divisions of the Govern
ment--the legislative, the executive,
and the judicial. A dangerous confu-
sion of these rights comes about when
congressman ask Official appointments
from the President.-Nep Fork Her
ads Washington telegram.
The Constitution provides for no such
thing. A good many Stats Constitu-
tons do, but the Federal Constitution
does not. Therefore, the argument is
not . sound one. There may be good
reasons Why congressman should not
ask " official appointments but the
one given is not . good one.

The Lady and Her Teeth.

In old times the doctors saw the
benefit Of iron for the blood, but the
only preparation they had was one
which, if it touched the teeth, ruined
the enamel, leaving the teeth like chalk.
Many ladies have utterly ruined their
teeth with this preparation. Now we
have Browns Iron Bitters, which may
be taken safely and with the most happy
result. DR.. Ruggles, of Marion, Mass,
in speaking highly Of Browns Iron
Bitters, adds, at does not hurt the
