The failuro of the States of Georgia and Alnbamn to meet their liabilitics as princi- nlg or o8 guarantors has been almost fatal to tate credit. Tho Germun cannct seo how o Btata of the wealth of thoso Siates, and with powers of taxation, can fail to pay its liabilitios. *The Germans now begin to believe that they havoe beou decoived and defranded. Thoy find that parties interostod to seil and mtroducs their bonds futo the markeis ot Earops exhibit now no caro or 10gard Cor them, but, on the other haud, throw obatacles in the way of thoir enforeing their Jivns, They also find that sovereien Sintes dony 20d dlerogerd thoir guaranteos, that from the distauco thoy seen indifferent to them, and al- mosk oot disposed 10 fornot thoir Lisbilitics, or to wholly avoid their payment.

Now, the interest offored by Buropoun entorprisos is aqual to the usunl rates of tuterost in the United Btotea, Ilereafter this capital will find abun- dant use in its own country. As o proof of this, it may bo stated that, in 1672, phares and bonds ot difforont Governmonts and ntew enterprises ware ofiored in the market of Frankfort to the amount of nearly ono billion of dollars, tlsto Lo boped that, undor proper munagemont, de- fnulting States and corporationa will yet ba ablo to do justico, not only to their ereditors, but alio to tholr equally duservivg creditors abrond.” THE EPISCOPALIANS, A Church Congress to Meet in Now Yorlc in October—{ts Objactus Nrw Yonx, Aug, 13.—~A Drofestant Kpiscopal Chureh Congross will bo hold in this city on Oct. 6, 6, 7, and 8, Petor Coopor b " given the use of tholnrge hinll of Cooper Enstituw. for pur- Fn»cn of the Ausembly, and Chisf Juative Waito % oxpocted, during the - mosting, to- road ® papor on somo subject counected with ecele- sinstical law.
