GEoRGIA's OFFICIAL CANvAss.-The
formal canvass for the election returns
of the Georgia Legislature and the vote
on the constitutional amendments were
accepted yesterday in the presence OF
the Governor and the Secretary of
State. It shows that there will be so
populists in the next General Assembly
out of total of 219, of which three are
republicans. There are about 30 con-
tests for seats. The total vote of the
State was 5000, 5000 more than the
vote of two years ago, and the largest
vote ever polled in the State.
The vote for Governor and Statehouse
officers is not canvassed until the Cen
eral Assembly meets. The Assembly
convenes on the 24th inst.
The amendment increasing the num-
Der of judges of the Supreme Court
from three to five was defeated by less
than 1000 votes. The amendment
changing the sessions of the Legisla-
ture from the fall to the sumner was
also defeated. The amendmentallow-
ing the Legislature to pension iIdigent
Confederate veterans was adopted.

BANK DIRECTORS LIABILITIEs.-The
opinion prepared by Judge Hughes
handed down last week in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals at Rich
mond, in the case Of w. S. OBJ. Robin
son, receiver of the First National Bank
of Wilmington, n. c., appellant, vs. B..
F. Ball ct ais, appellees, is of interest
to the directors of national banks.
This was suit by receiver of ma
tional bank against its five directors, to
subject them personally to losses sus-
tanned by the bank as the result of
gross negligence in Office on their part.
The case was tried below on demur-
rer to the bill of complaint and amend
ments. The demurrer was sustained,
and the question was whether the de-
PENDANT directors were liable on the
facts set out in the bill and amend
ments.
The opinion states that the case diff
fers from that of Briggs vs.. Spaulding,
decided by the United States Supreme
Court, and concludes.
Son the whole case as shown by the
record, we are of opinion that the court
below erred in sustaining the demurrers
to the bill as finally amended on the
grounds stated in the opinion of the
learned judge below, and that the de-
cree must be reversed. The case must
go back to the court from which it
came, the demurrers there filed must
be overruled, and the case proceeded
in on plenary proofs to decree on the
merits"

A New York democratic politician,
here to-day on party business, says he
thinks the regular State and city dem
ocra.ic tickets will be elected, and that
the confident expectation of the demo-
Gratis there is that the President will
soon come out in an interview or letter
10 favor of both those tickets and adj
vising every democratic voter in the
State to support them with all the le-
climate means at his command. The
third tickets, he says, will help the
democrats, as they will attract the re-
publican mugwumps, and that every
democrat who may vote them would,
were there no such tickets, vote the
straight republican tickets. He says
New York has heretofore supplied
both the democratic and the re-
publican national campaign funds,
but that as every body recos
nizes the fact that the result of the con-
test in New York will settle that OF
1896 all the money that is subscribed
there for election purposes this fall
will be spent in that State, so that
neither of the national campaign com
mittees has any tc send to any other
State.
Northern Congressman are using
their influence with effect upon the adj
ministration to have work taken away

In consequence thereof the force at the

and is being, considerably reduced.
In the Circuit Court Of the District this

mandamus asked for by tho Miles Planting

Secretary of the Treasury and Commissioner

might make claim for this years sugar
bounty, which Secretary Carlisle refused on
the ground that the sugar bounties died with
the Mckinley bill.

In THE opening speech of mis- cam

one of the issues the people are to pass

Endorsement and approval which its
wise acts eptitle it to. Not one OF US
regrets the splendid vote We gave Mr..
Cleveland in 1892" President Cleve-

had been nominated for Governor, said:

he has therefore ordered that

DANIEL SPOKE FOR HILL.

The democrats of New York city
Monday night, under the auspices of
the democratic club, ratified the nomi-
nation of the Saratoga ticket. Among
the speakers was Senator ]. w. Daniel,
of Virginia.
Senator Daniel said in part: "The
democrats throughout the Union have
welcomed, applauded and re-echoed
the declaration of our democratic Presi-
dent that the nomination of David B.
Hill was the best possible thing that
could be done. We see in the fact
thus proclaimed, and in the spirit thus
manifested, the union that is in strength
and the strength that points to victory.
You have assembled tonight to ratiiy
this sentiment and / esteem it an hon
or to meet you and to unite with you
in your fluctuations. Yes, you have
done we'll in nominating q leader to
lead, representative to represent, a
statesman to 60 to the head of the
State, and q winner to win. In this
case the Office sought the man and
found the right man. The nomination
was spontaneous. 1t was an iuspira-
ton of the people and an augury of tri-
umph.
"Every democrat looks upon this
city as the great invincible fortress Of
his party-the Gibraltar of democracy ;
but every southerner looks upon it as
something more. He sees in it the hos
pitable asylum of the weary confeder-
ates who sought employment and new
homes. He sees in it the broad patri-
otism that brightens peace with bless
ings of friendship. He sees in it the
fruition of those doctrines of civil and
religious liberty which tolerates no test
OF citizenship and prescribe no qualifca-
tons for Office but those consistent
with the freedom and equality of man.
Senator Daniel eulogized Senator Hill
1--WE know him." said the speaker, "as
the victorious leader whom no difficulty
could deter and no danger appall; and
as one who has found his highest hap
piness in the service of his people. The
democracy of the nation have known
him as the unfaultering friend of the
masses and as the constant champion OF
those simple doctrines of government
which have impaired to the democracy
vitality which could never be destroy
ed. One thing we remember, that he
found his State incumbered with great
public debt and that he left it owing
not dollar; and there was no reform
which tended to exalt labor or dimin-
ish its burdens with which he was not
identified.
We recall that in 1892 thrill of con-
fdence ran through thedemocratic mass.
es of the country when he went to the
front in national campaign, and it was
with like feelings that democrats every
where have hailed his recent nomina.
ton. I do moi claim to have agreed
with Senator Hill upon questions OF
policy and expediency, but there is no
question of the fact that he has made a
great Senator, and that his fame has
increased with every year of his service.
Governor Hill has illustrated in his
remarkable career not only the virtues
of democratic craftsmanship, but also
the indiyidualism of the democratic
character. He has not been afraid to
stand alone or to give battle without
counting numbers. There is heroism
in his manly courage which is fitting
crown of his abilities

1T Is reported that the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company has re-
fused to use the tracks of the Southern
Railroad, from its junction with the lat
ter at Riverton, to Washington, and
prefers the longer and more circuitous
route to the national capital via Hagers-
town, Md, rather than Alexandria,
Va, and that too, though it has
received many favors from the latter,
but none from the former State. But
railroad companies, like individual peo-
pie, know their own business best, and
certainly no disinterested man with Or
binary understanding, will attempt to
interfere with the management thereof.

THE U. S. Court of Appeals for this
circuit has just decided that when a
Virginia tax payer shall have rendered
Virginia coupons in payment OF his
State taxes, and stands ready to repeat
that tender whenever called upon, he
will be considered as having paid his
taxes, and will be protected in person
and property from any effort on the
part of any State officer to enforce
the tax. Old debts are always liable
to pop up at most inconvenient times.
The best thing to do with the outstand-
ing coupons is to call them in and re-
deem them at once, and that the State
has money enough to do so now, is
proved by her recent unnecessary ex-
nepditureS.
