Send in your “ads" be fore all the apace is taken. A. It. Calhoun, _ Proprietor. 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. To-icoftBow “Annett*," whose fresh, racy articles added ho much to the attrac tions of the Sunday Enruirkr last winter, will again appear in a charaoteriaiio com munication in her old column. Tub Sunday Enquirkr will ba served to thoso in the oity who desire it alone for three dollars por annum. Any person sending us five subscribers for any of our papers, with the cash, will be entitled to a complimentary copy of the paper for one year. A careful figurer places the aotnal cost of every pound of cotton raised in the Gulf States at eleven and one-half ceuts. If this is true, the fortunes of our plan ters are in something borides cotton. 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- quibkr oan be had at this office from the initial chapters of “Travi*.'* 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. dech-dlw Announcement*. BANKINC AND INSURANCE.
