THE ELECTION.
Before tbe issue of another uumber ot tbe
Herald tbe electioo will have come ami
B one -
This election ia in some particulars au im
portant one, even more conse
quence than bas been attributed to it by tbe
people generally. Tbe election of a Gover
nor, members of Congress and members of
tbe Legislature has a vast deal to do with
the future ot Georgia, both as it regards her
do nestle interests and our National rela
tion*. 'The elective franchise, therefore,at this
particular crisis is one of the highest attributes
with which a citizen can be clothed. It is
for each elector to determine for himself to
which party or ticket he will give his vote.
And this is a matter which he Bhould deter*
miue exclusively for himself.
“Cnawei bjr influence, and unbribcd by gain.''
Neither friend nor foe should move
him from casting bis vote for the man
or men whose policy he believes will best
promote the true interests of the State.
If he believes that one candidate will best
subserve the highest interest of tbe coun
try, by all means let him vote for that man.
If, on the contrary, he believes another the
more patriotic of the two and bis policy the
best, let no consideration sever bim from
giving that man his vote. This is a question
that each must determine for himself.
It is the greatest glory of a republican
country that to each citizen is guaranteed
the privilege of acting unquestioned and un
controlled on ibis subject, according to his
own conscientious convictions. Aud this
matter is one that should never be neglected,
but atwfeys acted ou in tbe most fearless and
conscientious manner.
Above all things, bribery in any form, is
tbe most detestable consideration that can
influence the voter. It is a crime to sell the
blessed privilege of voting, for any sum or
any mere personal advantage. The man
who would do it deserves to be a puriafi and
an outcast from all political privilege. The
voter having made up his mind us to which
party patriotism aud a high sense of pub
lic duty, dictates be should support,
should go to the polls and cast his vote, ut
terly rejecting the persuasions of any or all
oi that uumerous class who hang about the
polls on election day to coax, wheedle and
cajole voters in the discharge of their poliii-
Jjkd duties. By all means vote. It is a
Solemn duty which no freeman ought to
emit to perform. Makeup your mind se
rious and soberly what your duty is iu cast
ing your vote, and let no considerations de
ter you from performing that duty fully.
Tuts will there be an honest expression of
opinion at the polls—and so shall our insti
tutions be preserved. Esto ptrptlua.
PATINO THE NATIONAL DKHT.
Mr. Raymond, the editor of the New York
Times, made a speech a tew days 6iuce iu
that city, in which he discussed at consider
able length, the ability of this country to pay
the National debt. He also alluded to the
fact that the National debt of Great Britain
was accepted by tbe English people as a
permanent burden to be borne aud carried
during all coming time. He said the English
people never expected to pay it, and that no
effort had ever been made to pay it, except
that in one single year Gladtone luid paid two
million pouuds sterling towards reducing the
principal of a debt which reached over one
thousand million of pounds. Judge Gould,
was present, suggested that there was au en
actment passed iu tbe time of Pitt against
tbe payment of the principal of tbe debt.—
The speaker said the contrast betweeu the
action of Great Britain and this country, in
this particular was most remarkable. The sol
diers had not finished inarching home before
the Government set about paying the debt.
In the mouth of September last #12,500,01)0
of our National debt bad been paid. At this
rate it would not take long to reduce the debt
so that its burdens on tbe people would be
comparatively light. Our rapid growth and
population and wealth, with a gradual re
ducing of the principal, would iu, a few years,
render the burdens of taxation so light that
they can easily be borne by tbe people.
Mr. R. believes that before ten years roll
around, some plan will be adopted by which
the debt will cease to be onerous aud oppres
sive, and by which the principal may be
certainly and rapidly extinguished.
We hope bis vaticinations on this subject
may be realized.
RATIFICATION OF THU AMBKDME.VT
OF THE CONSTITUTION PllOilltSlT-
B 6 SLAVERY.
The Legislatures of North aud South Caro
lina have been informed from Washington
that the ratification by them of the recent
amendment to the United Slates Constitution
prohibiting slavery, is a special prerequisite
to the reailmission of those States into the
Union; and a telegram informs us that the
Legislature of South Carolina lias, in com
pliance, passed au act ratifying that amend
ment.
We have heard some apprehensions ex
pressed that the failure of the late Conven
tion ol this State to ratify the Constitutional
amendment alluded to would embarrass our
resumption ol Federal relations. Wo do not
think that there is any ground for such ap
prehensions. The action required did not
properly belong to the Convention—
The amendment of the Constitution
has been submitted to (he Legis
latures of the Northern States and
acted on by them. It will properly come
betore tne Legislature of this State, which
will couvcne previously to the meeting ot the
Congress of the United Suits, to which our
Representatives and Senators will present
themselves for admission to seals, and as tge
Convention, the highest legislative authoiiiy
known to the State, hue already amended the
State Constitution w u to prohibit tow
ever slavery or involuntary lorvituda lu
Qeojia, ilure can be no obstacle in the
Wi y °f the General Assembly, a subordinate
laxly ruliftyiu* a similar antendiuuut of the
National Constitution. There need be no
tpprebfuikw therefore that the non-ratidea
ttonofthn anti slavery amendment will be
allowed to aland lu tbe way of a
speedy r« adjustment of aiulcabla tulalloua
"ilh Urn I'nltei) Hunts Uoverniiiam.

haiH.inlog the law of the laud, aud na tbit

will on the part of the States, it would Lave
beeu more consistent with the spirit of our
government to have left the matter for the
voluntary action oftlis Legislatures after the
readmlseiou of the States into the Union.
Such a course would have preserved the
forrnß aud consistently of our Federative sys
tem, and would have left no ground for fu
ture cavil on questions ot validity. But,
slavery being abolished by our own funda
mental law, aud the institution being dead
beyond tbe possibility of resurrection, it
matters little about the forms of its final se
pulture.
TWO DAIS LITERMiIL FROM
NEW YORK.
The steamship Hunter, from New York,
with dates of the 10th iust., arrived yester
day. We are indebted to Puser F. C. Jef
fery for favors.
Tlie t ltoU'l-a In New York.
There have been no new cases in New
York harbor, aud apparently tbe disease is
disappearing, at least for the immediate
present. Dr. Walser, in charge of the hos
pital ship at the Lower Quarantine, has made
a report in regard to the cause, development
aud history of the epidemic among the Ata
lauta's passengers. Out of five hundred and
twenty-five in the steerage, about sixty were
attacked aud sixteen died during the passage
aud since tbe vessel's arrival thirty-six more
8 ckeued and four died. This comparatively
small mortality he attributed to the good con
dition of the ship,the good quality ot the food
supplied hua'the attention given to the sut
ferers. The Doctor hopes for the speedy
disappearance of the malady. Iu speaking
of tile matter of quarantining cholera cases,
he says the endeavor must be the quaran
tine of persons, and not of slops or merchan
dise. At an informal meeting of the Board
o: Health held yesterday, it was aunonneed
mat the British brig Chilton hau come up
to the city without stopping to be quaran
tined. The Mayor ordered lier return to
Quarantine for sanitary examination. At
tention was called to a large quantity of ball
putrid hides and damaged grain said to be
now lying amidst the ruins ot a recent fire in
the vicinity of toe Grand street ferry, poison
ing the bui rounding atmosphere. There are
other equally offensive and dangerous nuis
ances in different parts ol the city. It is un
derstood that the national government pro
poses to sell to our Stale authorities, lor a
merely nominal price, the old receiving ship
North Carolina, to be stationed off the
Lower Quarantine as a permanent cholera
hospital.
An Interview with Witz,
A correspondent of the New York Herald
visited on the Bth inst-, the condemned man
Witz, and lmd a protracted interview with
him duriug which he gave a complete history
of his life, from his infancy in Switzerland
through his career in this country, ns a
weaver in Lawrence, Mass., as superinten
dent of a water-cure establishment, and
overseer of a plantation in Kentucky, till his
enlistment as a private in the Confederate
Army, when discovering considerable ability
to his superiors he was advanced from one
important trust to another until.be became
commandant at Andersonyilie. With ref
erence to his conduct of that prison, be
says :
These things which was done (meaning
Anderson villej somebody must suffer
for. I have uyver denied that the prisoners
were mistreated ; but it was not. my fault.
If I am the lust one that is to Buffet death for
the Southern Confederacy, I am satisfied. 1
do not tear death. 1 Dover saw a man shot
nor never shot one myself. That I will say
as loDgusl can say it. 1 never bunted pris
oners with dogs, nor anything of that kind.
"Unfortunately General Winder is dead. If
he was living I know he would come out aud
not let the innocent ones suffer. I never
could get Winder to set his foot on the in
side ot ,the stockade. I don't know the
reason. If I have any ill will ngaiust any
one it is they who have purjured them
selves. The man who gave liis name as
Delation, a grandson of General Lafayette,
will be found out to be a German Jew,
named Schaffer, deserter from a New York
regiment. Anybody who knows anything
ot military matters, knows that one in com
mand of thirty-live thousand men Ims tube
strict, but wbcu 1 mu accused of conspiring
with Jefferson Davis aud others it is all a lie.
Tli«* Ram Stounvall,
The United States steamers Rhode Island
aud Hornet, commissioned by tbe Navy de
partment to convoy the ex-rebel ram Stone
wall to this country from Havana, arrived at
that place respectively on the 30th aud 31st
ulls., and on the 2d inst. formal possession
was taken by Commander Murray of the late
rebel cruiser, and the Stars aud Stripes were
hoisted ou board of her. It was supposed
that betoie leaving Havana she would be
docked to uudergo necessary cleaning.
Tlie Cu.se of Gen. Briacoc.
Gen. Britcoe, who was tried by court mar
tial ou charge of attempting to rob the Quar
termaster's Department at Lynchburg, Va.,
was released lrom prison in Washington ou
the Bth. His sentence was that he he cash
iered, dishonorably dismissed from tlie ser
vice, prohibited lrom ever bolding any office
under the government, forfeit all pay aud al
lowances and be confined for five years at
hard labor, all of which was approved by
the President excepting the imprisonment,
which was remitted iu consideration ot the
General s brilliafit service in the army, aud
he was accordingly set at liberty.

The receipts of cotton at. the portt continue on a
very large scale ; aud there are, as yet, no iudica*
Lftoiis oi an early failure in tlie supply. From the
close of the war to the first of September—a period
of four months—the receipts aggregated 373,702
bales, uud from September l to the close of October
—a period of two months—3o9,o74 bales. Thus since
the first of September, the supply has came forward
at the rate of 0,150 bale* per flay, or l wo and a quai
ter millions of utiles per anuuin. The value oi the

receipts since the close of the war are fully equal
to the annual consumption of tlie United States in
