IT Is TAOUIHT that Congress will
not adjourn before August. This
will afford very little opportunity
to the present incumbents to work
for a re-election.
Ex-GovERNolt BULLOCK, Of Georgia,
received a tremendous ovation in
Albion, Now York, on his return
after acquittal in the Georgia
courts. He now ranks among the
blessed martyrs.
IT Is PREDICTED that both the
Democrats and the Republicans will
concentrate upon Governor Hamp
ton for a second term. This would
be a very gratifying spectacle, and
would close the mouths of the
bloody-shirt orators.
TWELVE MILES OF THE Greenwood
and Augusta railroad have been
graded, for cash, and the company
has funds in hands for use soveral
months longer. The people wanted
the road and they are just turning
out to build it themselves.
WE DO NOT SEE that the passage
of the usury law has made money
any more plentiful. The chief re
sult seems to be that the borrower
pays the usual high rate of interest,
and, in addition, signs a pledge not
to plead the usury law.
BEN WADE began life as a laborer
on the Erie Canal; and as president
of the Senate, at the time of the
impeachment of Andy Johnson, he
missed by one vote becoming the
President of the United States.
From that time until his death
recently, his political star rapidly
waned,
A LIVELY CONTROVERSY has sprung
up between Gen. Dick Taylor and
Hon. A. H. Stephens. The former
charges that Mr. Stephens clogged
the wheels of the Confederate gov
ernment, by opposing the measures
of President Davis, and interfered
in the management of the army.
He also says that ho visited
Mr. Stephens after the close of the
war, to aok his co-operation in se
curing the release of President
Davis from prison, but was received
with great coldness. Mr. Stephens
puts in a general denial, especially
of the last charge, alleging that he
never saw General Taylor after the
war. General Taylor renews the
charges ; andl there the matter
rests. We are not posted as to the
true inwardness of the situation,
but Mr. Stephens, c'ortainly during
the war, received credit for hostility
to President Davis and the admin
istration.
Popular Bonds.
The Senate has passed a hill pro
viding for the issue of one hundred
millions' wvorth of four per cent.
United States bonds, running fifty
years, in den ominations as low as
twenty--five dollars. The idea is to
popularize the loan, and to give
laboring people and persons of
small means an opportunity of
finding a safe investment of their
earnings, instead of having them
swallowved up in broken savings
banks. This is an imitation of the
example sot by France, whose debt
* is largely due to her own people.
* Heretofore our bonds have been
of such large denominations that
only capitalists oould invest in
them. As the great p)rospoerity of
France is attributed partly to the
popularization of her loans, it is to
be hoped that the House will concur
in this bill, so that the experiment
may be tried in this country.
Changing the Time of Elections.
There is a tendency to secure a
general day of voting throughout
the Union. New Hampshire voted
this month for the last time. Fu.
ture elections will be held in
November. Connecticut and Penn
sylvania have also moved back to
this time, and a proposition is now
before the people of Indiana to
effect a similar change. Ohio will
doubtless soon follow. This will
prevent the National Administra
tion from throwing its woight into
any one Stato election in order to
secure the floating vote in tie gei .
oral melee. The Octobor States
have heretofore decided the presi -
dential election in advance. When
all the States vote upon the same
day, the two parties will have equal
chances.
Georgia, Pennsylvania and New
Hampshire have also joined the
States which have only biennial
sessions of the Legislature. This
is thought to be in the interest of
econony. It is rather cruel, be
cause it cuts off from the average
legislator one half his opportunity
for speech--making.
