Tb» Fourth Congross ioual District of
Tennessee whose newly elected Represen
tative died the other day, g»vo Porter,
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
6,000 majority. Mr. Head had no oppo
sition for Congross.
Tu Presbyterian Synod of Georgia and
Florida mot In Savannah on Thursday,
with a large attendance. The Rev. Rob
ert Irvine, D. D., of Augusta, was elected
Moderator. A proposition to revive or
sell Oglethorpe College, at Atlanta, was
under consideration on Thursday. The
next eesaiou will be held at Cnthbert, Ga.
Tn Massachusetts Congressional dol
egation ia divided politically as follows:
Democrats—Messrs. Thompson, Tarbox,
Warren and Chapin—4; Republicans—
Messrs. Buffington, Harris, Pierce, Frost
and Hoar—5; Liberal Republican nomina
ted by Democrats—Gen. Banks; Iude
pendent Republican supported by Demo
crats—Prof. beet ye.
Tu Washington Republican sticks to
it that it was Congress, not President
Grant, that was rebuked by the peoplo
iu the late elections. It puts the propo
aition thus: “They say President Grant
did it. The trouble was they did not
have him on the ticket to poll them
through, as they bad in 1872: That')
what did it." Of course, belioving this,
the Republican thinks it absolutely neces
sary to havo Gen. Grant on tho ticket to
pull the party through in 1876. No
doubt that is also Gen. Grant’s view of
the matter.
Wm see it stated that the “free love"
sooiety in Oneids county, N. Y., is flour
ishing, and we hear of no intention by
government, State or Federal, to inter
fere with it. Now if some one will ex
plain to ns why it ia that tho Government
of the United States has (lie power aud is
morally bound to abolish polygamy in
Utah, and yet ncithor tho Federal Gov
eminent nor tho State Government of
New York can interfere with tho licen
tious “free lovo" colony in Oueida, we
will bo enabled to solve a problem that
pazsles us.
Rdsskll County.—Wo learn that the
Demderats of this Alabama county foci
great confidence in their ability to make
snob a showing of frauds, irregularities
and illegal voting as will compel tho set
ting aside of the late clootion. There is
no doubt, they say, that hundreds of ne
groes who were not entitled to vote voted
the Radical ticket. Soma were not regis
tered, othors hail no right to register or
vote, and it is beliovd that many voted
twice. Iu addition to this,thero was such
loosoacKs and irregularity (to say the
leant) iu tho kcoping of tho ballot boxes
and returns as to invalidate the election
where so many circumstances aro sugges
tive of fraud iu votiug. Wo believe,from
what wo hoar, that tho cloction will either
have to bo dccluroil null and void, or the
Democratic ticket be declared to be le
gally elected.
Tub Washington Republican says that
some of tho Northoru Democratic papers
are alarmod lost tho people of the South,
enoouraged by tho results of tho lato elec
tions, should resume “their old amuse
ment of killing negroos.” We have not
aeon tho expression of any such fear in
any Northoru Democratic paper that has
met our eye. Iu fuct, we aro convinced
that tho Democratic papers of the North
do not believe that the whites of the
bonth kill nogroes for “amusement.'
Even the Northern Radicals do not be
lieve it, for aftor their papers had, per
instructions, run on Southern outrages
“until the election,'' many Republicans
signified their disbelief by voting with
the Democrats. It is time to stop this
nonsense about Southern Democrats kill
ing negroes. The results of the elections
prove that it has been tried once too
often. Cannot the Radical party, in view
of its certain doom, resolve not to die
with a lie in its mouth ?
Mob* chicanery is threatened to hinder
or retard the reforms which the Demo
cratic party U expected to accomplish
when the next Congress meets. One
prepoaition ia that the present Congress,
dazing its three months' lease of power
text winter, shall pass Appropriation bills
for two years, so as to prevent the Demo
crats from cutting dawn the expenses of
Gssvarnmec.1. The proposition is a
ffcct»n, if not a revolutionary one; aud
yea t# have reason to apprehend that it
it* njyn seriously entertained aud will ro

TUB PROSPECT* OP COL CUB CM.
If you walk down Broad street any
morning sod propound the following
oonundrum'you will receive as many dif
ferent answers as you suk questions:
Why does not Columbus succeed more
rapidly?" One mau will tell you that “it
is because the usury laws aro abolished,
and money was drawn from the small but
certain profits of legitimate enterprise,
like manufacturing, and nsed for purposes
of loan and discount at exhorbitant rates
of interest. Another mau of good com
mon senso will staud at his store door,
and rubbiug his chin, contemplatively
look out at the spiked teams, in the park
like street,audsay,“Wel1,I blame our want
of sucoe* s as a city,to the oredit system,for
it has impoverished our merchants,
crushed out enterprise, forced merchants
to get time on their obligations and de
stroyed the commercial integrity of tho
once truthful planter, on whom we w ore
dependent. There can be no success till
we can count on the word of our
debtors." There is tuuoh truth
this, but s lawyer-like gentleman will tell
you that Columbus is doing better now-
and that “her great draw back has been
political; tho reflex of tho oppression
from which the whole South has suffered.’’
A*temperance man assures us “one great
draw back is the abundance of whiskey
(Lank, and uot paid for; aud the large
quantities of water left nuusod savo for
mill powor and navigation purposes."
youth with s jaunty hat sittiug ou a dry
goods box which ho stabs with a wicked
looking knife, os if he had a particular
spite agaiust it, thinks “tho country and
city has gone to the d—1 just ou tbo nig
gor’s account. He wont work if ho can
steal, aud so there is nothing to sell sod
everything to buy, and nobody don’t
know where in the thunder the money is
to come from to get anything, and so n
fellow has to ruu his face, you see ?"
And he goes on poking his knife into tho
box till his soft, white hands aro tore, and
his weak muscles exhausted by this physic
al expression of indignation. An old
bachelor thinks our city is poor bocause
“it has ho lnauy bubies aud extravagant
women—all non^irodncers, yon know.
Why, no town cau win that does’nt main
tuin tho balauco of population, We
must havo rnoro workers than consnmers.
If both classes ho even wo stand still,* if
tho coUHtiuiera predominate wo go down,
don’t you see ? ’’ This heathen would have
ns bo guilty of infanticide in ordor to be
prosperous, but somobow most of us
would rather have poverty, with the babies,
if poverty be a soquoooo. A shrewd mer
chant tells ns that “we cannot win till our
city obtains such rates of freight us will
enable us to compete with Moutgouiery,
Macon and other citios, aud that wo must
have good jobbing houses, with the ener
gy aud push so essential to tho suc
cess of such establishments." A
who claims to know a
thing or two and who has had a desire
to emigrate, so loug continued that it
has become hopelessly chrouic, says “No
city can succeed that dopeuds for support
on eve* a reliable agricultural communi
ty. No pastoral country cau sustain a city.
A city to bo great must havo factories,
foundries, mills and workshops. It must
have grand avenues for transporting the
raw material cheap; and for scattering the
manufactured products to the consumers.
Columbus has not these facilities, ergo Co
lumbus is not a great city, and us I do not
think shs evor will be, I propose to take
Greeley’s advice and go West—when I get
my affairs straightened.” A live, pushing
young firm assure ’us “the town is
much under tho control of the
of the old school who pick
their teeth iu long, dark stores
and wonder why customers don’t come
and patronize them as of yore. These
rneu in the natural course of events will
pass away, then Columbus will just boom
to success.” A newspaper man tells ns
daily that “no town can win where busi-
men do not advertise and support
tho paper, which to the outside world is
an index cf the city's prosperity; that
foreign capital will not venture where
other foreign capital has not auccoodod ;
that people who read papers without pay
ing for them cau never bo supre’moly
great or divinely pure, Ac., Ac., Ac.”
Now, in all of this there may be truth,
but it is not tho whole truth, nor is it
justioe. Never was a city so striokcu as
Columbus wheu Wilson’s raid in 1803 left
her industries iu ashes, aud her wealth of
cotton in flames. Our city has grown
iih wonderful vigor, and tho time of her
new birth is the true date for her legiti
mate ago. No city in tho Bouth has such
factories or foundries ; no city iu th«
South has shown more solid energy ; no
is thero a place that has a more brilliant
future warranted by her superb locution
and unequalled water power. Tour rail
roads now afford us access to the outoi
world; besides our river, that is bom*,
rapidly improved by tbo Government, uud
which iu a few years will give us
tho control of the territory to the South.
tli uud
South road and our cotton receipts will be
increased one sixth, and a million dollars
added to the trade wealth of the city. The

PREMIDEBT GRANT AMD THE KC-
KLCX LAW.
The New York World, calls to recollec
tion the facts conoeotsd with the passage
of the Kn-Klnx law by Congress, to show
how greatly mistaken Mr. 8tephons is in
his singular notion that Gen. Grant is
only reluctantly executing what he con
siders a bad law, simply because it w a
law which it is his duty to execute. If
there are any laws npon the Foderal stat
ute-book the tendency of which is to Htir
up strife aud evoke bloodshed, it is the
duty of the President to urge theiz repeal
under so much of the^Coustitation as
says: “lie shall from time to time give
to the Congress information of the state
of tho Uuion, and recommend to their con-
aideration such measures as he shall judge
necessary and expedientWhat measure
so necessary and expedient as the repeal
of such legislation os makes Louisiana a
stumbling-block to ns at homo and a his
sing and a by-word abroad! If it be
Grant’s duty under the Constitution to
enforce these bloody laws as loug as they
aro laws, it is equally his duty uudor tho
Constitution to recommend that thoy may
be laws no more. Tho Presidential oath
is not that I will faithfully execute the
laws, and this ouly. The execution
of the laws—tho actual patting of
the rope at>out the poor wretch’s nock—is
but ono part of the Presidential duty, and
hence the oath prescribed by the Consti
tution does not evou contain the word
“laws,* but is that “I will faithfully exe
cute the office of President of the United
States." It is an integral part of this
office to urge the repeal of unjust and op
pressive legislation, and iu failing to per
form this duty the President not only
violntos his duty but makes tho unjust
legislation his own. Particularly is this
so when, as in Grant’s ease, tho Executive
has, so fur from urging the repeal of
huish statutes, called vociferously for tho
enactment of now dragonades. The 41st
Congress came to an end March 4, 1871.
The Forty-second Congress met the same
duy, and after organizing prepared to ad
journ,there being nothing special in band.
Following the customary form, howevor,
a joint committee was appointed to wait
upon tbo President to receive any com
munication ho might havo to make, mid
from tho report of that committee, as
made March 7, 1871, wo tako this: “Tho
“President said ho had no communication
“to mako at present to Congress, but that
“ho may havo some communication to
“make in the course of a week, and he
“exprossod a dosiro that during this week
“no duy should bo fixed for tho final ad
journment of tho two Houses." Iu
compliance with this request Congross
pottered away harmlessly enough ou
questions of order and the proper tax on
a gross of matches, 'until tho 23d duy of
tho month came on. Then the promised
communication appoared. It was a Pres
idential message asking the passage of the
Ku-K!ux bill. Many even of tho Radical
mouthers revolted, but tho party lash was
applied without mercy and tho bill passed.
It is the saruo scoundrel statute under
which Federal Marshals were harrying
Alabama till Tuesday. It never would
have boon passed if Grant had not urged
it upon Congress, and yet we are asked to
believe that a man capable of calling such
a bloodthirsty and disorganizing statute
into existence is really executing the En
forcement acts in Louisiana out of a pure
souse of duty and with tears in his eye!
Mosby’a Influence.
A special Washington dispatch to the
New York Herald relates this instance of
Colonel Mosby’s influence with the Presi
dent :
On Friday last, as has already been
stated, Colonel Mosby had a long inter
view with the President. He cuuio to
call the President’s attention to tho fact
that Miss Amelia Jackson, daughter of
James W. Jackson, who killod Cotouel
Ellsworth at Alexandria, Va., early iu 1861,
and who had boon appointed to a position
iu tho Treasury Department at Meshy's
request, had that day been dismissed be
cause she was Jaoksou’s daughter. The
man to whom Lee surrendered his army
bit his lips at the nniiouuceiuout of Miss
Jackson's dismissal. Further explana
tion was unnecessary, aud seiziiig a pen
he wrote as follows :
C. H. Me Carte*, Suin'rintendcnt Bureau
of Kn gracing and Printing :
Retain Miss Amelia Jackson in the
employ of your burean.
U. 8. Giunt.
The same afternoon Colonel Mostly,
accompanied by Mi^s Jackson, callml
upon Mr. McCartee at tho Treasury H
parttuent, presented the request of the
rrosidont, and in the twinkling of an eye
Miss Jackson's name, thut morning erased
from tho roils, was rewritten upou them
