GEORGIA'S CREDIT,

An effort was made in New York
to attack the credit of the State of
Georgia by holders of the old repudi-
ated issue. Certain holders of the re-
pudiated bonds of Georgia in that
city selected certain of the illegal
gold bearing bonds, and advertised
them for sale at 65 cents. The clear
intent Of this was to produce the i'm
preston that this was the ruling
price of Georgia bonds, and to dis
courage bidding on the new issue.
Pamphlets attacking the credit of the
State were mailed to all the banks and
to leading fnanciers, and nothing
was left undone to make the new
loan failure. How miserably these
attempts failed is shown by the bids
in the hands of the Governor. The
New York times is moved to say in
this connection:
AT least one Southern State can
congratulate itself on "a fully restored
credit, and it finds it to be a profit
able possession. Georgia recently in
vited bids for s3,50O,OO0 thirtyNear
bonds at a rate of interest not ex-
ceeding 5 per cent. There were
three offers from this city for the en-
tire issue at 4 per cent. interest, one
Of which was at a premium of 4 per
cent. The aggregate of all bids re-
ceived was nearly six times the
amount to be issued. Thus the State
will get more than the amount rep
resented by the face of the bonds at
a rate of interest which prevails only
when credit is exceptionally good.

A DESPERATE SUICIDE,

A Cleveland, O., special says Law
renee Barry, thirty-two years of age,
threw himself in front of a moving
engine about noon to-day, receiving
fatal injuries. Barry was seen walk
ing at the side of the Lake Shore
railroad track, near Alabama street.
He appeared to be walking along
leisurely and no attention was paid to
him. A switching train approached
where he had stopped for an instant,
but he apparently paid no heed to it.
Suddenly, as it drew near, he stepped
upon the track and walked toward
the approaching train. The train
men and engineer thought that he
was preparing to cross the track, and
consequently did not check the train.
AS the train drew nearer and the en-
gineer saw that there was no dispo-
sition on the part Of the man to get
off the track he sounded his whistle
and shouted. Scarcely had the sound
died away when Barry rushed direct
ly upon the engine, throwing himself
across the track. The engine crush
ed down upon the unfortunate man,
the wheels passing over both legs
near the body. Before the train
could be stopped the trainmen, who
had jumped from the cars to render
him assistance, were Mortified to see
the victim making frantic efforts to
drag his mangled body still further
under the cars and place his head up
on the rails. He was taken out be-
fore this could be accomplished. He
was conscious and began to talk. He
said he wanted to die and that he
was tired of living. This is all the
excuse he gave. He cannot recov-
err.

CLANS.

The Macon Telegraph calls every
mention of candidate for Governor
as returns from the "clans of the

means, we are unable to say, but
doubtless the Telegraph knows, or
the phrase wouldn't be used by it so
fiippantly. We do not know whether
it is intended as eulogium or odium.
1t will appear in due time, however,
when the Telegraph fourishes its
tomahawk and with cleaning knife
begins to take political scalps. I'm
til that time, we will possess our souls

A MODERN RIP VAN WINKLE.

A noticeable parsonage among
those to be met along the avenue and
in the hotel Hobbies of Washington
during the last few days has been an
ex-soldier, the circumstances of
whose career since the war have YES
ted him with a peculiar interest.
Early in 1862 he, then a young man,
enlisted at his home in southern In
diana, and was assigned to regi-
ment that was actively engaged dur
ing the whole war. The young sol
der made himself useful, was always
in the thickest of the fray and was
promoted to be an officer. In one of
the last battles fought before the final
surrender, while leading a charge,
the young captain was struck in the
head by a ball, and fell. His soldiers,
with whom he was a great favorite,
carried him to the rear, where he had
every attention. Then he was con-
veyed to Washington and placed in
one of the hospitals, and after a long
period of suffering, his wound healed,
but his reason had fed. He was
officially declared insane, and placed
in an asylum near Washington, where
he remained 20 years in this condi-
ton. A few months ago his reason
returned, and he is to day as sane a
man as lives. He says the past is a
blank. He can scarcely comprehend
that he is not the same young man
that he was 20 years ago. He has
found some Of his comrades here, and
these have treated him with great
kindness. He can describe scenes
and accidents of the war with as
much clearness as if they had taken
place but few months ago. Among
the friends he has recently made is
eX-Secretary of war Lincoln, who be-
came interested in his case, and has
had his application for a pension
made special by the commissioner of
pensions, who also took an interest
in the matter, and within few days
he will receive $40, 900 of back pension
money, with which he intends going
into business.
