Order.
There have been minors of trouble on
the election day, but, after careful en
quiry, we feel certain they arc without
foundation. Had there been any danger
of turbulence, the wise precautionary
measure of hit Honor, Mayor Cleghora, in
appointing a large extra number of po
lice would prevent it. Apart from this,
however, every good citizen, who has the
love of his oity at heart, has determined
to see that the publio peaoe is
maintained, and to set the exsmple
himself. It is to be hoped thst all
the bars will ba kept oloeed in faot, and
that for this day at least intoxioating
liquors will % be tabooed. We feel cure
that tba best friends of Mr. Mcllhenny
and Col. Wilkins desire and are in
fsvor of preserving tbe publio peace, and
wo trost the prophecy we venture may be
fulfilled, that the election of to-day will
be the fairest and quietest known to ths
annals of Golumbus.
Vote for James Lynab, the faithful old
Sexton.

W* learn from the Recorder that the
contest in ltuHttell county, Ala., for county
offioes, will go before Judge Oobb, of the
Circuit Court, for adjudication. Probate
Judge O’Neal declined to try the oase, as
he was a party interested. But tbe Re
corder Htatea in a pORUcript that the case
was before tho Judge of Probate on Tues
day, and that by cousent of counsel a de
cision adverse to tho contetdants (Demo
crats) was entered, so that the case might
be appealed to Judge Cobh.
Advertisers should bear iu mind the
coming mammoth edition.
Back numbers of This Sunday En-

On Tuesday another amendment to the
Federal Constitution was proposed in the
House of Heprosentatives by Mr. Ellis H.
Huberts, of New York, and referred to
the Judiciary Committee. It is as fol
lows t
Artiole —. Congress shall not make
anything but gold anil silver coin a tender
in payment of individual debts.
Sue. 2. Congrens shall pass no law im
pairing the obligations of oontraots.
We hope that this amendment will be
adopted by Congress aud go to the States
for ratification.
Tux New York lleraUl has special dis
patches of the 7th from New Orleans,
reporting that there is imminent danger
of another popular uprising in that city ;
that the Conservatives are excited at tbe
apparent pnrposo of the Returning Board
to cheat them ont of their victory ; that
MoEnery, Penn, and other Conservative
leaders have been summoned to New Or
leans by telegraph ; and that if a conflict
does again occur, the Conservatives will
uot restrain the foreigu-born citizens,
who are groatly indignant at the attempt
of the Kellogg Government to deprive
them of their votes.
In the United States Circuit Court at
Havanuah, on Wednesday, Judge Erskine
deoided that a receiver should be ap
pointed for tbe Atlanta and Richmond
Air-Lino Railroad, and as tho counsel
could not agree upon a receiver, he ap
pointed J. P. Fisher, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The Atlanta AVirs saya that the fitness of
this appointment is much questioned in
Atlanta, as some regard Mr. Fisher aa
merely tho representative of the bond-
holdera, and the turning over of the road
to him as tantamount to turning it over to
the bondholders: thst all of tho road in
Georgia has been placed in the hands of
Col. Grant, as receiver appointed by
Judge Hopkins, and he is now in full pos
session ; that belief is prevalent that Col.
Grant will refuse to surrender the road to
Mr. Fiaher, and that Judge Hopkins will
sustain him in his refusal.
James Lynab for Hexton. See that your
ticket hsh his nemo upon it, and wa oan
say to him, “Well done, good and faith
ful servant.’’
IMPORTANT CANES.
Two cases involving the constitution
ality of the Enforcement law of Coogress
have how been carried to the Supreme
Court of the United State* and iftp Wd
to be hoped (hat that Oofirt dofne
them this winter. A prompt daemon kmj
arrest further Congressional action iri the
same direction, stop proceidin^a Moat
harassing and irritating to the peopU^of
the South, and do much to vindicate the
right* of the States and people again*l
Federal euoroachment. It may also serve
to relieve the Republican party from (he
embarrassment to it which would result
from verdicts of acquittal is neatly every
one of ihe cases in which its partisans
have eaused tbe arrest of Democrats of
the Bopib on charges of violation of that
law, by causing the proceedings against
them to be dropped before trial. Presi
dent Grant, while vigorously executing
the Enforcement set, has on one or two
occasions intimated that he thought it a
“bad law" whose injustice could beet be
made manifest by its strict execution.
Rather queer logic, it ia true, but as the
law was passed si his suggestion, this is
as much as could well be expected of him.
Tbe first case involving the consutn-
tionality of tho law ia that of the Great
parish prisoners. These prisoners were
arrested for alleged violation of the En
forcement law, and the Enforcement law
derives its constitutional warrant from
ths Fifteenth Amendment, which declares
that “the right of citizens of the United
States (o vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States, or by any
Stnte, on aooonnt of rsoa, color, or previ
ous condition of servitude." Congress,
by the Enforcement law, undertakes to
punish individuals for doing what this
Amendment prohibits the State* from ^do
ing. Judge Brsdley, in the Chant parish
esse, held that where the Slates had not
denied or abridged the rights guaranteed
by ibis Amend mint/the Federal Govern
ment had no right of interference, bnt
must leave to State laws the punishment
of offences of this character. His lan
guage was: “There oan be no constitu
tional legislation of Congress for direotty
enforcing tbe privileges and immunities
of oitizens of the United States by origi
nal proceedings in tbe courts of the United
States, where the only constitutional guar
anty of such privileges and immunities is
that no Stale shall pass any law to abridge
them, and where the State has passed no
laws adverse to them, bnt on the contrary
has passed laws to sustain and enforoo
them." Judge Woods differed with him,
and the case has gone to the Supreme
Court on a certification of (his difference.
The other case is a more recent one, in
which Judge Hughes, of the Eastern
District of Virginia, goea even beyond
Judge Bradley. The oaae before him
was one in which the Petersburg Judges
of the election had bean indicted for a
violation of the Enforcement law by
obstructing oitizens in the exeroise of
their tight to vote. Judge Hughes de
cided that tha right to vote was a State
right, and could only be vindicated by
the States. He said: ‘jTbe right to vote
seems to be not au inherent fight, bnt a
conferred privilege, a privilege not de
rived from the United States, bnt from
the State alone; a privilege belonging to
tbe man as a citizen of the State, and not
to him in his character as a citizen of the
United States. Nor does the obligation
of tha United Statea to guarantee to the
States a republican form of government
change the form now exiting, and
which has existed from the foundation of
the Union, that to the States is left the
power of defining and regulating the
right of suffrage, a power without which
a State could scarcely be considered as
any longer retaining its autonomy."
Of a similar import is a late decision of
a Federal Judge in Kentucky, but we are
not advised that this decision has been
oarried up to the Supreme Court.
In the present condition of the country,
and at a time when the politioal indica
tions point to a check in the long-contin
ued Republican administration of the
Federal Government, the Supreme Court
of the United States oounld find no time
more opportune than the preaest for the
settlement of this veze 1 question by a
decision plainly defining the extent of tho
power of Congress under the Fifteenth
Ameudment.
Alabama Lefftsiatara.
Thursday, \0th.—In the Senate, a bill
to prevaot the deatractfoa pi deer, birds,
and fish in Alabama, was referred to a
special eqmjRittce. A bill to reduce the
fees of Probate Judges waft referred. The
Senate pasted House bill to repeal the act
to protect pl4ntoY» < fioffi Imposition in the
sale of fertilisers. Mr. Parks introduced
a bill lor tbe relief of Samuel M. Adam*,
of Troy, and his co-securities, which was
referred., Mr. Hamilton, from a special
joint committee, reported a bill for tbe
appointment of commissioners to liqui
date and adjust all olaims against tho
State arising from bonds issued or en
dorsed in tbe name of the State. This
bill t** ordered to be printed and made a
special order for Monday. House bill to
repeal Ike act authorizing cities and towns
to sqbsfirlbn to ths capital stock of rail
roads, was passed by the Senate; also,
the bill to authorize suits to be brought
against corporations in counties where
they make contracts.
The House passed the Senate hill to
hold a special term of Russell Cireuit
Court: also a joint resolution raising a
committee to agree upon a day for the ad
journment and re-assembling of tha Leg
islature; also a bill to change the bound
ary line between thp connties of Pike
and Bollock; also resolutions instructing
tha Finance Committees what violations
had occurred of the act requiring tax col
lectors to pay into the Htste treaiuary the
same monies thst they collected for taxes.
These committees are empowered to ex
amine books and witnesses, and it is
thought thst their report will make things
lively for many tax collectors, some of
whom have wade their entire payments
in the depreciated Btate money. Daniels,
of Russell, introduced a bill to repeal
section 3G'Jl of the Code, which punishes
the enticing away of servant*; also a bill
to prevent the selling of liquor within
two miles of the Baptist church in Hurt-
ville—both referred. Mr. Brewer, a bill
for the relief of the Mobile and Ohio and
the Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad
Companies from the ten per cent, penalty
for the non-payment of taxes within tho
time prescribed—referred.
James Lynah, candidate for Hexton,
was a faithful soldier iu one of the first
oompaoies raised in this oity for the late
war.
BaxciHEit-TiLTON.—We think that we
may now see tho cud of (his scandalous
oaae. The compromise of Miss Proctor's
suit against Moulton, and the rule re
quiring of Tilton a “bill of particulars,”
indicate the result. In the Proctor case,
Moulton never prof cased to have any per
sonal knowledge .of improper conduct.
He said that he only repeated what
Beecher told him. If Beecher had testi
fied iu that esse on behalf of Moulton,
and admitted that he did tell the latter
what he had averred, this would of course
have destroyed Beecher's standing and
greatly weakened him in his case with
Tilton. Therefore Beecher could not be
expected to make any amjb mdmissions,
and Moulton bad to compromise. In the
Til ton-Beecher oase, the requirement of s
“bill of particulars" from Tilton throws
out all the documentary evidence as well
as Beecher's admissions to Tilton and
Moulton, because such papers and admis-
•ions.contained uo etatemeut of particular
occasions and would be ruled irresponsive
to an indiotment charging the commission
of an offence at a named time and ptaoe.
Without these letters and confessions, so
far as the publio know, Tilton has but a
poor showing in oonrt, aud might as well
abandon the case.
Advertisers should remember that
after this month Tun Sunday Enquirer
will be a separata paper from the Daily.
It is the beet advertising medium we have
ever had, and it affords a fine means for
advertising Christmas goods.
James Lynab, candidate for Sexton,was
one of Colonel 44 Jim Ramsey’s" best sol.
diers iu “the old 1st Georgia." He served
at Pensacola, and in Virginia, aud until
tha regiment was honorably discharged.
Vote for him for Sexton!
James Lynah, candidate for Sexton
disabled as he is, has always been prompt
and ready to attend to burials of the
poor and the rich. Vote for him again.
A raw weeks ago, the New York Trib
une (which had been engaged in showing
up the falsehood of Radical reports
about political “outrages" in a the South)
received and published a letter from
Alabama reporting that Mr. A. G. West
had been shot iu the moat brutal manner
because he was a Yankee. The Tribune
was .reluctantly forced to admit that in
this case at least the cry of 44 wolf" was
nat a false. alarm. But the T. ibune of
Monday last says that five correspondents
have written to inform it that “the whole
story a lie. Mr. West has not been
killed, has not been attacked, has not
been molested, has not been in danger of
auy kind. He is very much surprised
and annoyed at tha tale whereof he has
been rnide the subject, for he lives on
the best of terms with all his neighbors,
and not only is he not persecuted for
being a Yankee, but he is very popular."
,Vjote for James Lynah for Hexton, an
old time.resident of Columbus.
“As true as stool, and as bravo as true!”
Toombs* Irreverence Rebuked,
Gen. Toombs ia reported to have said
recently, in advocacy of a re-enactment
of the Usury laws, thst the only occasion
on which the Saviour ever committed
assault apd battery was when he drove
the money-changers from the temple.
The Rome Commercial very cleverly and
effectively answers Gen. Toombs, as fol
lows :
“Jesus Christ, ‘the great philosopher, ’
did not condemn those engaged in the
practice of taking usury any more than he
did those engaged in the harmless occu
pation of selling doveg, for he dealt with
both with equal severity. The offense
committed by (he parties so summarily
dealt with consisted in selecting an im
proper place for plying their various call
ings. The Great Philosopher, on the
contrary approved the practice of taking
usury. We need but refer the great com
moner to the parable of the talents, as
found iu the tweuty-fiftb chapter of Mat
thew:”
Thou oughtost, therefore, to have put
my money to the exchangers, and then, at
my coming, I should have reoeived mine
own with usury.
“And then again to tho nineteenth of
Ht. Luke
Wherefore, then, gaveat not thou my
money into the hank, that at my coming I
might have required mine own with usu
ry ?
LIMsll*i Llvlag A«s Bar 1878.
After its sueeeseful career of over thirty
years The Living Age aeems more vigor
ous and prosperous than ever before.
Always the chief, it is now (sinoe its ab
sorption of “Every Saturday") tha only
eclectic weekly of tba country. What
distinguishes it is the fact that it presents
inexpensively, considering its three ansi a
quarter thousand large pages of reading
matter a year, with freshness, owing to
the frequency of its issue, and with a sat
isfactory completeness attempted by no
other publication whatever, the ablest
essays and reviews, tbe best serial and
short stories, the finest sketches and
poems, and the most valuable biographi
cal, historical, scientific and politioal in
formation from tha entire body of foreign
periodical literature.
It is therefore invaluable to Amerioan
readers as the only thorough as well as
fresh compilation of a generally inacces
sible but indispensable current literature;
generally inaccessible because of its great
bulk ana cost; indispensable because it
embraces tbe productions of the ablest
living writers in science, fiction, poetry,
history, biography, politics, theology,
philosophy, criticism aud art.
Represented in it* pages are such dis
tinguished authors as Prof. Max Muller,
Prof. Tyndall, Dr. W. B. Carpenter, Hon.
W. E. Gladstone, Prof. Huxley, Frances
Power Cobbe, Richard A. Proctor, Mat
thew Arnold, the Duke of Argyll, Charles
Kingsley, Arthur Helps, James Anthony
Froude, Mrs. Mulooh, Anthony Trollope,
Mrs. Olipbant, Miss Thackeray, William
Black, George MacDonald, Jean Ingelow,
Erckmauu-Chatrian, Ivan Turguenieff,
Tennyson, Browning, and many others.
During the coming year it promises,be
sides the best serial and short stories of
the leading foreign authors, tbe usual
amount, uuapproacbed by any other peri
odiottl, of the most important literary and
scientific matter of tho day,from the pens
of the above named and many other
ablest liviug contributors to current liter
ature.
In the multiplicity of quarterlies,month-
lies and weeklies, The Lining Age is an
invaluable economizer of time, labor and
money. It is pronounced “the best of
the eclectioa," and, all things considered,
the cheapest; and has become almost a
necessity to every person or family desir
ing a satisfactory compendium of the
noteworthy in the literary world. In no
other known way, certainly, can so much
of the best work of the best minds of the
age be obtained so oonvenienently, or
with so littlo money, as through this moat
comprehensive of periodicals.
The subscription price is $8 a year,
hich is cheap for the amount of reading
furnished; or for those desiring the cream
of both home and foreign literature, the
publishers make a still cheaper offer, viz:
to send (pontage prepaid on both periodi
cals) The Living Age and either one of
tbe AmeiicKQ $4 monthlies, or weeklies,
a year tor $10 r>(). With The Living Age
and one or other of our leading American
monthlies, a subscriber will, at remarka
bly small oast, be in possession of the
best which tho current literature of the
world affords.'
The volume begins Jan. 1st. and to new
subscribers, remitting now, the publishers
(Little A Gay, Boston,) offer to send the
intervening numbers gratis.
