THE closing of the Sixth National Bank in
New York is not due to any financial disaster,
The suspicious proceedings of the purchasers
of the bank led the Bank Commissioner to
close its doors. There is nothing in the matter
to affect New York's financial affairs, beyond
the three banks involved in doubtful transac-
ton. 1t demands searching investigation
and that is now on the way.

Tin Horn Congressman.

The people Of the second Congress:

Just about the time
he Is to be nominated he has q tin
bowed. After his nomination he is
never heard from, at least he is
never heard from in his seat, either
by vote, speach or bill. Just before
nomination he introduces two or
three buncOmbe bills, that he nor
any one else ever expects to pass.
1t Is not known to Us whether he
ever got bill through to give some
man a pension or not
possibly he may have got some
such through. Tho farmers now
are beginning to call men to an &C.
count, and there is some hopes that
they will give good sensible far
mer an opportunity to occupy the
seat of this tin horn Congressman

headed doing, the work they were
elected to do. Farmers shall we

Then 1T must be remembered
that druggists can get . liquor IL

The Force Bill Boycott Question.

The propo iiou Of the Atlanta
Constitution, endorsed by Gov. Cor
don, to form n southern league and
boycott the northern States in the
event the Infamous force bill is passed
by the Senate. has set the tongue OF
every newspaper in the land to wdg-
ing vigorously. The northern press
of course condemns such a policy MS
an audaCiouo threat, while the south
ern papers generally have gone into
Mysteries, dcuOuncing it IS silly, inn
practicable and hurttul, denying that
the South cntcrtains ny such pur-
pose, and are scoring the Constitution
and GOV. Gordon for presun,ing to
speak for the South.
Let ,hc press abuse the Constjtu
ton as much as they will, it hats
done the country a great service by
awakiug the discussion and calling
the attention Of the north to a phase
of the question which the people had
not thought Of, and which had al
ready caused reaction Of sentiment
that is mos sure to defeat the bill.
OF course the boycott idea could
not be carried into immediate effect,
