DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1874. Jhxity giupxim* JOHN If. MAMTfX, CUUJJIHIN* «A WEDNESDAY .NOVEMBER 18, 1874 TO ThAMkNriTlar In accordance with the proclama'ion of Oov. Smith, wo shall observe Thursday (to-morrow) as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer. No paper will consequently be issued from this office on Friday morning. We hope that the day will be observed by all our citizens. We have much to be thankfnl for, notwithstanding the “hard- times' of which we complain. We have had a year of general health—of freedom from pestilence and from the disasters to the crups that sometimes befall us. The year has Also been ono of progress at the South, which section has unquestionably raised more provisions than nsnal of late years and taken a decided step towards self-suppoiting industries. These, to gether with the brightening political pros pects mentioned by the Governor, consti tute a year of blessings and mercies for which we should bo duly thankfnl. Let not oar people haughtily arrogato to themselves too much of the credit for those good tilings, but make due acknowl edgement of indebtedness to a Power with out whoso smiles And assistance all the labors of man would be of little avail. Onr Xamanotb Kdltlwa. We to-day publish the mammoth edition of the Sunday Enquirer, about which we have spoken for come time. We feel no little pride in this, the greatest newspaper enterprise ever shown in onr Htatc, and we must thank tho true business inen of Columbus for giving us their patronago, and showiug their appreciation of our ef forts. Our aim has boon by untiring work to build np a good Journal, whose influ ence should not be local, and which would be to the outside world anovidencoof onr city’s prosperity. Wo think, without laying ourselves open to tho charge of excessive vanity, that wo have snccceeded in eigh teen months in making a good paper and placing it liuforo more re aders than any journal issued from this section has ever had. All wo ask now is that our effort* shall be appreciated—wo moan of course by tho livo men—on whom the future of this country depends—and not on the drones who ignoro advertising and never road n paper that they do not borrow. Wo started out to win, to . build np the biggont paper in tho South, and if we fail it will be (after our last cunt of capital and credit is exhausted, and our energies wearied by tho waut of appreciation of tho pooplo amongst whom we havo cimt our lot. Col. Billy Wilson.—The last Now York papers report tho death, on Friday last, of Col. William Wilson, in their city. Our readers will remember Col. Billy and the men whom ho commanded, constitut ing tho Bixth Now York VoluuteorH, aud colled “Zouaves." They were conspicu ously ctagugod st L'cusuuola and at Fort Fiekens. The New York JleraUl says that Col. Wilson “rando a good reoord for hiiuself" during a portion of tho war; and iuasintioh us he is deed now, aud “the cruel war is over,” (or ought to bo), it would bo unprofitable to discuss his mer its or that of his regiment now. Tins is tho way in which Hon Butler, iu nil interview with a reporter of the Now York Herald, coutrndictod sumo 1st© reports concerning himself: “Not a word of truth is in it, Rir. As I told you be fore, I Khali have something to say on suoh matters, but 1 shall not bo heard from except from my sout in tho hulls of Congress. 1 shall write no letter and will not bo Interviewed on tho subject. As I havo already intimated, and you can publish it in the Herald, 1 shall not write any letter, neither shall I bo a candidate for Congress or for Governor of Massa chusetts. Neither mu 1 going to Europe or to Kuhnm, and neither am I going to have any thing to do with tlio starting of a now party.” The will of tho lute Uiizaway B. La mar is published by tho Now York Sun. lie directs his executors to prosH his claims upon tho Government of tho United HI ales for a very largo amount of cotton taken from him and from compa nies to which ho belonged by tho agents of tho Governuieut, and for which cotton lie htiH claims ponding Before the Court of Claims mid before tho Congressional Committee on Claims. The amount col- looted is to b' divided auioug his four children if it bo less than 4*200,000. If more than $200,000, then the reutaiudor, or $ 100,000 of tho romaiuder, to oousti. tute tho legacy for tho beuotlt of infirm mul agod uogroos (lato slaves) heretofore noticed. Wa take from the New York Bulletin of Thursday tho following sensible aud just views concerning the impaired orodit of tho South : “The recent oloctious, in so far as they assure tho Bout hern States fair play, cannot fail to have a good in- tlmmco ; aud if tho people of thoso States which havo been loaded with debt by uu- prinoiplod adventurers will meet their creditors in a fair spirit, there is no rea son vAv Southern State credit should uot recover sll it Iian lost since tho wur. It is true that uiuny of tho securities issued did not bring valuo received to the States ; but they havo drifted into tho huuds of holders iu good faith, many of them for eigners. These holders did uot pay uuything lilco face value for the boud*, and tho proposition to exchange thc-m bonds, say two or three for ono uew boud, on which interest would bo prompTy paid, should be acceptable. In any evout, it would show good intentions ou the part of tho Btntos making the proposals, aud would help tho credit of ovary ou© iu tho Stale. To umko such of the South ern State s as have been under the control of oar pet- bag gets responsible for the debts they incurred, and without the Function of tho tax paying pooplo of those States, Is something whioh wo believe in telligent creditors, either here or iu Eu rope, do uot contemplate.’ It will be no ticed that the Bulletin's remarks apply only to suoh StnLw as are or havo boon Under cupel-bug rule. WHAT 8PCXVEB WAR1H COVER UP. We made allasion, the other day, to a personal motive which Goorge E. Spencer, so-called Senator from Alabama, has in preventing the inauguration of a Demo cratic government in that State. It la simply a desire to cover up the chicanery by whioh he obtained his seat He woe never legally elected, and if a full and fair investigation of the matter had been gone into, he could not have been recognized as a duly elected Senator. Bat this in vestigation was precluded by the Senate's adopting a reeolation to confine the exam ination to the documentary evidence in theca *e. This was simply no investiga tion at all, because no one doubted that Spencer's “papers'* were made out in due form and certified everything necessary to constitute good “credentials." It was matters and occurrences outside ot the reoord that would not bear the scrutiny of the United 8tates Senate. There were so many auspicious circumstance*) connected with that Senatorial election in Alabama as to demand the most searching investigation of the whole affair. The Senate no donbt acted, upon the persuasion of Spencer find his friends, upon the genersl principle that it could not go beyond tho certificates of the pre siding officers of the two House* of the Legislature aud the credentials of the Governor of Alabama, to see whether the Legislature was properly constituted. It ban, ws think, gone beyond this evidence in its action touching Pinchbecks elsim to a seat as Senator of Louisiana. But, be that as it may, when a succeeding Leg islature of Alubama presents tho case to the Senate of the United Htutcs and shows clearly that tho “credentials" upon which Spcnoer was allowed the seat recited false- hoode—that bo was never elected in ac cordance with the laws governing the case—this will present the question in a form opening tho way for investigation behind the “documentary” evidence. We have no doubt whatever that tho present Legislature of Alabama will take that course, and demand a re-oponiug of the case. Spencer, too, knows this, and the consciousness of bis precarious tenure is what actuates his attempt to make it ap pear that tho Democruts did not fairly win their great victory in Alabama. It is well known that when tho Legis lature of Alabama assembled, two years ago, tho members of eauh political party organized separately — the Democrats meeting in the capital and the ltudioals in the court-house. There was a close division of parties iu oach House, and there wore several contests for seats in each. The Democrats had in each branch a majority holding regular certificates. Tho Radicals made up a majority in the llouso of Representatives by admitting tho claimant* from Barbour abd Marengo (who wero afterwards given seats under tbo Attorney General's “compromise”); but they had no majority of ovon claim ing members in tho Senate, either before or after tho two parties wore consolidated. To make up a majority iu tho Souate, aud thou go through tho forms of elect ing Spencer United States Senator, they admitted men who never oven presented a claim to membership when tho two par ties met together ! The Benuto, therefore, had no quorum, aud Sponcor was uot legally elected. The Democrats, iu finally consenting to the Attorney Gener al’s compromise,did so iu tho confident as surance that the Senator was to be elected after the consolidation, but tho Radical House would not consent to this. Spen cer pressed his case boforotbe Senate,and thut body by resolution first shut out tho testimony that would havo established the illegality of his election, and then admit ted him. There will bo no difficulty whatever in proving beyond a doubt that tho Senate hud not a quorum of legal members whoa the forms of electiug Speuoor were gone through. We shall be greatly liisHppoiut- ed if at least tiro Republican Senator* do not give jtositive testimony to this effect. The cause of truth aud right demands that tho new Legislature should disown Spen cer as a Souator of Alabama, present tho fucts of the oaso to the Unitod States Senate, declare the position vacant, aud prooeed to elect another Sonator. Tho peoplo of the Htato demand it. The Radical party, much as it may wish to avoid the loss of a Senator, sees tho ne- ©easily for “unloading," aud it has no Jo nah moro daugorous to keep on board than Spencer. Alabama l^glalotsrel This body met in Montgomery on Mon day. In the Senate 29 members answered to roll call. The old officers of the Senate were requested to act temporari y. Noth ing alee was done, exoept the reference of the credentiala of the new Senators to a committee. In the House, 91 of the 100 membere weie in attendance. The Secretary of State had given credentials to the three defeated Radical candidates in Barbour, and they appeared and took seats; but an invostig .t on wiil be had at once.

Not including these tho totals are: Houston, 105,lib#; Lewis, 93,484 ; Houston’s majority, 11,(521; total vote, 198,589. Each of the countios not re ported gavo Houston an average majority of (5(K), making his total majority 13,421. Tho average aggregato vote of each was 1,100—making tho total veto of the State 201,880. Spencer reported at Washing ton that it was 210,000, aud being so largo, was iu part fraudulent. In 1870, the total voto was 202,010, being a little larger than the voto of this year. The 1 Ilghtlcst Controversy tho World Ever haw. [Boston Post's London Special, Nov. 5.] Advices received to night from Rome statu that the Pope has declared that lie will never receive an embassador of Great Britain at the court of Italy. Tho Vatican hao isHued an order convoking an interna tional Catholic Congress at London. The order declares that it is uecossary that, on the eve of a religious crisis, the world should have a demonstration of Catholic doctrine through afreepress. Archbishop Manning, in delivering the opening ad- droHH at the Drew College of London, to day, said thut, within the lost twenty-four hours, it had been intimated to him that the Calholic world was threatened with a controversy ou the whole decrees of the Vatican, and the Council of Catholics is ou the eve of the mightiest controversy tho world ever saw. A Late Packing Henson. New York Bulletin, Nov. 12. The packing season has not fairly opeu- od as yet at any Western poiut, with the exception of Homo in northern latitudes, and others where lco packing is resorted to. Tho mild weather of au unusually long “Indian Hummer" has been the cause of the delay, and has also operated against the distribution of the small supply of moats which have been out. In the mean while the housou has favored au economi cal fattening of tho hogs. The Western markets havo beeu poorly supplied with hogs, aud packers have bought »pnringly at prices whioh have gradually advanced, as the low stocks of meats and lard has guaranteed a brisk sale to consumers of the products of early cutting. Tho total slaughter to date is about half us largo as at this date in the last two seasons. Tho average range of prices, for packing weights at Wontern points since the open ing, iu ti.25a6.75, about 75 per cent, high er than a year ago. Hogs have so far averaged light iu woight, but condition has been good. United Mate* Hnpreiue Court. Washington, November 17.—Supremo THE MYNOII Oft' GEORGIA- Wo extract from the roports of pro- ooediugs published iu the Savanuah pa pers, the following action of this body on Saturday : Dr. Wills presented tho present condi tion of the Theological Seminary at Co lumbia, 0.8., and suggested a mode for increasing tho funds for the support and bouefit of that institution by usseKoments to he laid upon the several presbyteries aud churches. The report was adopted. The following trustees of Oglethorpe University were elected; Rev. D. Fraser, Hon. M. A. Candler, W. A. Moore, Esq., Rev. H. Quigg, Rev. J. Stacy, Judge J. J. Gresham, llou. John B. Gordon, ltev. J. Little, Rov. C. W. Lane, S. D. McComiell, Esq., Hon. Clif ford Anderson, oud W. P. Inman, E*q. The Committee ou tho Stato of Reli gion, through Rov. H E. Axson, of Rome, gave a very favorable and encouraging re view of the churches and tho denomina tion, based upou tho Htatisticnl reports furnished by the several presbyteries. Rov. Mr. Little, from tho Coiumitteo ou Suateutatiou or Domestic Missions, r«q>orted a decline iu the contributions of thj churohes,aud urged renewed diligeuco and activity in this field. Rev. John Jones submitted an interest ing repot upon the religious instruction of colored candidates for the ministry, aud a re olution approving tbo plan rec ommended bv the lost general assembly respecting tne organization of colored churches, and requesting the earnest per form aiioe by the presbyteries aud tho churches of the duties imposed iu this plau, was offered by Prof. Woodrow, aud adopted. Court oases No. 128—Titus vs. tho United Si ate*—error to the Circuit Court for the Southern District of Georgia. In this ease Titus seeks a reversal of a judgment of tho confiscation of Confederate State lands, because it excluded him sharing os informer in the proceed* of the land sold under the judgment. • Titus' name did not appear in tho proceedings, nnd he now a«ks for nn amendment making him a par ty, ou the ground that he tiled tho infer* matiou which was the basis of the pro ceedings in confiscation. Tho Govern ment claims that Titus did uot file a for mal paper giving the facts in detail, aud that fur that reason he should bo excluded from participation. It was also averred that the titles to tho land was iu the United States as captors inde pendently of tho proceedings in confisca tion, aud that therefore the cluimaut could have no title. The judgment in tho Dis trict Court rocognized tho claim of the informer,but the Circuit Court excluded it for tho rcasous stated. It is here moisted that as the proceedings wore instituted upou the information given by Titus, his claim ih good, notwithstanding the want of n formal statement of the facts within his kuowledge iu detail, and it is urgued that then, if the government did huve a valid title as captor, it was barred by the title it chose to stand upou, which was the one based upon the proceedings in confiscation. The case is still under argu ment. John A. Wills iN counsel for the cluimaut, and the Attorney General nnd Solicitor General aro for the Govern ment.
