A PROTEST.

-EDs. JoURNAL-lt appears at glance
that our city fathers intend to break up
the chicken trade. Contrary to custom for
twenty years, they have ordered that the
coops be put away at the back of the stores.
The chicken dealersa are indignant over their
new resolutions. We have TO submit but
consider it tyrannical and against the inter
est of Cobb county and Marietta We think
the proper steps would have been to make
eases against those who did not keep their
ooops and surroundings clean, especially in
a dry town with three policemen who
have ample time to look after the sanitary
interest of the city. MERCHANTS.

STAND FROM rNnERi

People who went wild year ago
on Birmingham dirt are beginning to
realize their folly. Probably Mont
gomery is suffering from the collapse
more than any other city, although
nearly every place in the South in
vested more or less in the boom. The
reported issuance of circular by the
Elyton Land Company, to the effect
that all land notes falling due on
January 4th, must be paid, is Great
ing considerable excitement among
parties in Montgomery who were Sc
duced by the speculative boom last
tall and invested. Many of these
parties who bought with the expecta-
ton Of selling at an advance have
failed to do so, and cannot now re-
alize what they paid for the land.
All have made cash payments and
are now unable to meet the maturing
notes Of to-day. One party over
there who bought from the company
a certain tract for $4,000, and paid
cash $4,000, offered the company the
property if they would surrender his
notes for $500, being willing to
stand the loss of his cash. The com
pany refused, as it has done in sew
eral cases. Now therefore is an
interesting event, and is anticipated
with no little uneasiness and it is
predicted that the notaries will reap
a harvest in protest tees.

Secretary Bayard said last evening that he
thought his letter to the president was spe-
cific. and it contained all he knew about the
matter No demand had been made for Lord
Sackyille's recall, but the emergency was one
that demanded immediate action. He had
no idea how long Lord Sackville would re-
with every courtesy.
Senator Morgan, who has been the staunch
friend of the administration throughout this
controversy, said that the action Of the pres
ident was what the people had right to ex-
pect of him. The fault of Lord Sackville
was the more pronounced, because he had
been member of the commission which ne
gotiated the fisheries treaty. Certainly, Mr..
Morgan said, Lord SackviIe would not ques-
ton the earnestness and sincerity of the
president now in resenting an indignity.
Neither Lord Sackville nor Secretary Bay
ard would furnish copy of the secretary's
letter to Lord Sackville for publication.
prominent official of the state depart
meut said to representative of the United
States that if diplomatic precedents were
followed, the British minister would forward
the Presidents notification to his home gov
eminent, and that in due course be would re-
ceive leave of absence for an indefinite
period. No further action would be taken
by this government, whether the minister
continued to live in Washington City or not.
The old time custom of twenty-four hours
notice to quit the country has been aban-
| duned.
The records of the state department show
that Lord Sackville's case is quite analogou;
to that of Sir John Champion, the represen
tative of England at Washington in 1856.
| He violated the international law of neu'
trality by seeking recruits for the BRITISH
| army in the Crimea. The facts were laiG
before the British government, and Sir Johr
notified that his conduct was dispeasing tt
