By request we republish the Constitution and laws of Georgia governing the Presidential elec tion. Section 1332 of Irwin’s Code, uuder Ar ticle IV, places the time of choosing “on the first Monday in November, 1808.” The time is the Tuesday after the first Monday in Novem ber, etc. The Recent ElecUoiix In the North and Went. The Radicals in the recent elections North and West have carried the day. Iu Pennsylva nia, Ohio, Indiana, and Nebraska, they have been triumphaut, according to the telegraphic items which we have received, and which w have no doubt in the main are correct. W slop not to enquire into the causes ol these unex pected results. Enough lor us that they are so indicative, as we confess they at present appear ol the election of Grant in November next. But the November election will not pass oti even in the 8tates referred to without a desperate stru gle. In all of them the Democracy will rally to renew the conflict. The old adage—“there is many a slip between the cup and the lip”—may agaiu be verified iu the result ot the November election. Be the result, however, what it may Georgia must be saved from sinking into the Radical maelstrom that may swallow up other Northern, Western, and Southern States. She at least, will cast her vote for Seymour and Blair, let other States do what they may. Iu this, there is at least some consolation. But “ while there is lile, there is hope,” and we still “ hope on, hope over,” till the day of deliver ance from Radical misrule aud oppression shall come, as it surely will eome, if the teachings ol history embrace anything that is either truthful or reliable. You Don't Say So t W ell, I Declare i An Ohio paper regards it as oueot the most terrible signs of the times and warns the people about it, that a gentleman in Kentucky wrote to a friend iu Ohio informing the Ohioan that “ very many people are buying Confederate notes at ten cents on a dollar, iu anticipation ol the election ol Seymour aud Blair, iu which event the bonds will be at par, or at least ot a value approaching par.” It must be confessed that the news is startling. Those shrewd fellows who are buying Confede rate notes at ten cents on a dollar will make a tremendous pile if the bouds get to a value even approaching pa.’, and they must, be intensely anxious lor “the e/eut” to occur which is to make the bonds rise so rapidly in public esti mation. It the Ohio paper had not Slid it iu order to make its readers vole against Seymour, we never would have believed the Kentuckian’s note story—not one word ot it It is awtul to contemplate. It, however, the Kentuckian’s friends will go on purchasing Confederate notes, we have a few which we will sell cheaper than ten ceuts on a dollar, notwithstanding our pci- fect confidence in the event which is to bring them to par, or “a value approaching par.” Tlie New Cotton Crop. A very fine quality of couou ot the new crop this year has just been brought to the New York market, says the New York Herald ot the 9th instant, from Carroll parish, Louisiana. It was sold immediately at forty-six cents a pound. It is called the Peeler cotton, aud has a long, fine staple, approaching Unit ot the famous Sea Isl and cotton. It is a different product, however aud, as it was grown in the interior and iu tin great cotton region ot the Mississippi Valley, we suppose it can be raised where any ot the ordi nary staples are. The Sea Island cottou can only be grown within a short distance from the sea and iu a particular locality; the supply, consequently, is limited. It the Peeler cotton should be generally cultivated, it would make a great change iu the market value ot this great American product, aud might revolu tionize the manufactures of the world. This particular kind ot cotton was discov- eren three or four years ago in an acci dental manner. Mr. Peel, a planter in the Mis sissippi Valley, lound among his ordinary stand ing crop a plant bearing a much fiuer and long er staple than the rest. He saved 2 e se d which he planted the next year, the je i alter and until he had seed enough of the new variety to sell to his neighbors. Thus it spread and ac quired the name of Peeler cot'on. No doubt it will be cultivated herealter more extensively, as it has realized such a high price in the market. We may expect very soon a large supply ol this year’s cotton from all parts of the South. This will contribute vastly to relieve the necessities of the Southern people, to improve their condition, and to stimulate trade with the North. We may say now that as far as the material interests and prospects of the South go the tide has turued iu their favor. With peace and a continuance of such industry as the mass of Southerners have shown the last year they will soon become rich •gain. An Original Suggestion. The New York Sun, which is now edited by Mr. Charles A. Dana, formerly one of the edi tors of the Tribune, and morereceutly Assistant Secretary of War and alter ego ol the “divine Stanton,” has made a proposition to the Demo cratic party which exceeds, in cool impudence, anything which the Radicals have yet uttered. It has the merit, howevir, of being entirely orig inal, and has the additional recommendation of being conveyed in less offensive language than tha generality of Radical outgivings. It is, that Iloratio Seymaur shall withdraw from the con test tor the Presidency, and that the Democrats shall unite with the Republicans in the election ot Grant—in fact, make Grant the unanimous choice of the American people. The Sun does not require the Demo crats “to turn Republicans.” They need uot (we suppose that this is the Sun's mian- ing) swallow the entire Chicago platloi m at a guip aud say that they enjoy tilt dose, but sim ply change lront iu their opposition to General Grant,” and fancy when they quit opposing him that they are electing “a sterling Democrat ol the old Jeffersonian aud Jachsouiau school.” The editor of the Sun while he was Secretary of War must have heard that to change front uuder fire is one of the most dangerous of man oeuvres, and almost always results di-astrously to the iurce that attempts it. But even it the democratic party were to agree to risk the move ment, bow cau th Sun expect them to entertain such a wild hallucination as that Grant is “ a sterling democrat of the Jefferson.au and Jacksonian school.” Has he not accepted as wise, moderate, and just, the Chi cago platlorm, which, among other things, de clares that the negroes shall ue the rulers of the ten Souihern States, while they shall continue to be “hewers of wood and drawers of water” in the Northern States ? Has he not recognized as wise, moderate, and just the principles that Congress can determine who shall and who shall not be voters in the Southern States, but that in the Northern States the people shall de termine that for themselves ? Has he not ap proved aud accepted as a fitting subject lor uni versal gratulation and joy “ the assured success of the reconstruction measures,” by which a fragmentary Congress overturned the gov ernments of ten Slates, set up absolute military despotism in their place, deprived the white race of the power ot voting aud con ferred it indiscriminately on the negroes, ap proved constitutions tor those States lramed by negroes and Northern adventurers, aud made compliance with a prescribed amendment to the Constitution disfranchising white men aud trans ferring the pardoning power to Conirress, an es sential condition to admission into the Union ? Did Jefferson or Jackson ever say, do, or think anything ot this kind, or docs the Sun insult the memories ot those great patriots by supposing that they would have pronounced the Chicago platform to be “wise, moderate, and just,” aud would have asked their countrymen to rejoice at the assured success of the reconstruction measures—of the flagrant nullification of every principle of the Constitution which the one framed, aud which the other swore by' tbe eternal must and shall be preserved V How then are we to lancy when we change front that we are voting tor “a sterling Demo crat ol the Jeffersonian aud Jacksonian school” when we vote for Grant V It is because he is be lieved to be the incarnation ol diametric oppo sition to every principle ot Jefferson and Jack- son, because he aud his party aie pledged to ef fect the utter rum ot the political system which Jefferson built, and which Jackson embellished and defended, that the Democrats present a united front iu opposition to General Grant, and we pray that they may fight it out on that line, whatever may he the conse quences. * The Sun offers as an inducement to the ac ceptance of its proposition, and to the Demo cratic party, facing instantly to the “ right bout,” that if we all cry, “’Rah for Grant,” Seymour would “ at least he heard in regard to the new administration; ” and, as it to make he offer irresistibly templing, the Sun says that it the lront is changed, Grant might properly give Seymour the mission to Paris, Hoffman the mission Berlin, and Greeley the mission to London. ‘'Attention, Democrats! Right about lace march ! ” Elect the Jeffersonian Jacksonian Democrat who endorses the Chicago platlorm ; congratulate the country on the assured success of the reconstruction measures; let Butler and his confederates spend five hundred millions per annum; let the laboring masses find the money, and let shoddy Atkinson and note-shaver Jay Cooke exchange their bouds for gold, dollar lor dollar, lor Grant may not deem “ it improper to offer Seymour a prominent place abroad, and Hoffman, it he should be beaten iu his contest for the Governorship, might possibly supplant Mr. Bancroft at the Court of Berlin ” If tlie Sun will allow an ex rebel to make a remark or two, we would inform that luminaiy ihat the Democrats will not change front oi yield one inch, that we caunot imagine Grant to be either a Jeffersonian or Jacksonian Demo crat because he has unconditionally surrender ed to the Radicals; that the Democrats will elect Seymour President of the United States, that thus he will certainly and not “at least,” be “heard in regard to the measures ol the new ad ministration,” and that thus the question as to tlie propriety ot sending him to France will be di>p<>sed of, by his staying in Washington and allowing Mr, Greeley to combine politics and turnips to his heart’s couteut.

A 1* ifth District ol Massachusetts denies Butler’s right to sit in Congress, as that gentle man is not natural-eyes’d. Reminiscence of Espauteko.—The elevation ot this celebrated Spanish General aud states man to the position of Chief ot State in Spain avails a rather amusing anecdote. In 1839, or nearly thirty years ago, when the Herald was having a lively tilt with Mr. Seward, then Gov ernor ot this St3te, terming him jocosely the mail potato” Governor, &c., a number ot American shipmasters were present at an enter tainment given at a port iu Spain—Cadiz, we believe—which Espartero, already a highly dis tinguished son ot the realm, honored with his presence. Wishing to compliment especially •lain New Yc i shipmasters, Espartero gave as a toast, “The health of liis Excelencia Seoer Small Potato, the Governor of the great Ameri can State of New York.” Of course there was great merriment among the Americans at this queer misapprehension on tlie part ot the great Spaniard : but it is a question to this day among he survivors ot the entertainment whether he was not getting oil a sly j.>ke altogether at their ow n expense.— .V 1'. Herald. The P«>pe a Mason.—The Pope having beer, lately making war on the Masons, these last have taken a cruel revenge. They publish the minutes of a Ln !ge in Sicily, containing the initiation of F. Jean M istai Ferratti, heUer known at present as Pius IX. This document is aeeomp\nied with a photograph, representing tiie successor ot the Apostles robed in Masonic iusiguia. Another Member of the Killed.—We have l*eeu informed that Mr. .Tas Martin, one of the Republican members of the House ot Representatives of 8<>ntli Carolina, from Abbeville, was musdered in the public road, near his residence, last week, by persons in disguise. A buy of inquest has failed to eheit any due to the murderers.—Charleston Courier. CHAPTER I. qualification of voters. § 1303.
