The Tripedal Bill.
We publish on our first page the full
text of the bill for counting the elector
al vote. Among the ablest politicians
wo find a difference of opinion as to its
merits,and these differences are not con
fined to representatives of either party,
but embrace all alike. While we are
not of those who believe the measure
unconstitutional, we do believe it
injudicious, because it brings) those
who are supposed to have eschewed
politics into a position where their
partyproclivities will,almost of necessity,
be brought into play. This is shown by
the committee in the selection of the
justices of the Supremo Court—they ev
idently being chosen for their polit
ical predilections—two Republicans and
two Democrats. Another objection
that might be urged against the bill is
the matter of chance-—a sort of lottery,or
where the toss of a penny might settle
the question an to who was elected
President. This is not so plain at first
glance, but a little consideration as to
how the two Republican justices and
the two Democratic justices are to choose
the fifth judicial member of the com
ruission. We believe that party- lines
are so closely drawn that each member
of the commission will sustain the
representative of his: party, and the
fifth judicial member of that body will
determine who) -shall be President.
If that;:fifth- man. be-a. Republican jus
tice, Hayes will be declared elected, or
vide versa. We are more strongly in
duced to this belief , because of the
ie&&onfi. governing the selections of
justices,:by the committee —two being
selected by Repi*l>iioa#s fur the purpose
of voting for .the 'Republican candidate,
and too fo.s Lhs piti pose of voting for the
Democratic candidate,, and the matter
is*-Virtually, s&ftled.-i by the character of
the fifth justice.
Among the justices chosen we find
ohs’ Vlib’ -was placed on the bencli by
Grant to 'do a certain 'act—to reverse
the decision ’of GhiOf‘Justice Chase on
the* legal tender* ’<quOM?on—fhtf he vfery
prolnptlv did it.- I* -there reason to
bOMtve he would hot do the same thing
agate?' *'■
Outsid'e of this feature of the bill,
We believe it is a good one, and we* give
credit to the committee for acting
from motives of the \purest patriotism,
and that they did the very best they
could. What the result of the bill will
be*—as there is scarcely room to doubt
its passage—no one can prophesy; but
it is impossible to see how that com
mission can do otherwise than declare
Tilden elected or that there has been no
election and throw it into the House.
The one disputed vote for Tilden from
Oregon is as good as the number of
disputed votes for Hayes, and it must
either be counted for him or the vote
must not be counted at all, so that, by
any light you view it, as General Gor
don says, Tilden is elected.

The Dear People!
When candidates are seeking promo
tion by the people, it is amusing to find
ourselves of so much importance; but
when the election is over the “dear peo
ple” can go to the dogs ; they are of no
further use. How nice it is to be patted
on the back, and told, “Fitz, my boy,
you are a great man, and you ought to
have something.” But let Fitz ask for
something at the hands of his candidate
friend after his election, and it is sur
prising how soon ho wont get it. This
is especially so of sections remote from
railroads.
The people are too far off to be much
of a power after they have cast then
votes. Neither can they furnish suita
ble candidates for the suffrage of our
neighbors. Let a man, however worthy,
from Hart, Elbert or Lincoln offer for
Congress, and notice how contemptu
ously lie is snubbed. This should be
remedied, and the best way to remedy it
is to have facilties for seeking the ear
of the “dear people.” A railroad’s the
thing by which we’ll catch the conscience
cf the office peddler.
It is said that Judge Reese is opposed
to the State endorsing the bonds of the
Eibertou Air-Line Railroad. If one
tenth of the aid given by the State to
the monopoly which that gentleman so
ably represents, this road would ask no
aid from the State or any other source.
We think bis position in this matter is
not becoming to a gentleman of his
ability and usual fairness. If he were
a sufferer from the Georgia railroads
grasping- rates, as are our people, he
would look at this matter quite different
ly.
The mills of fhe gds grind slowly ;
but they do not stop.
$14,000,
These figures represent the amount
lost-ar.nually by Elbert farmers on cot
tou alone, because we have no railroad
by which to ship. This represents
abqut one-fourth the amount which our
hard-working farmers would save annu
ally by a railroad. Is it a wonder we
are poor? And yet there are patriotic
individuals who would do every tiling in
their power to prevent the construction
of a road. , Patriotism is a capital doak.
A Candidate Wanted for the Ninth.
In the event of Mr. Hill’s election to
the Senate, the people of Georgia fhust
look arounfi for a.candidate for Congress
from the ninth district—it being gen
erally considered that the people of that
district have nothing, to do with the
matter.
♦ > "
Asa rule we oppose State aid in the
construction of railroads ; but where a
section not only receives no notice, but
is being kept under by that very power
from whom it seeks assistance—then he
is an unworthy son who opposes the
means of building up and developing
his country
The Power of a Comma.
The claim of the United States for the
return of the $1,500,000 lent to help out
the Centennial Exposition, says the New
York Sun, has been rejected by the
United States Circuit Court at Pliiladel
phi a, although there are abundant funds
remaining in the hands of the managers
with which to satisfy it. Consequently,
unless the decision of the court is re
versed on appeal, the $1,500,000 will
be distributed among tbe shareholders
in the enterprise, and be just so much
taken out of the public Treasury for
tbeir benefit. That this would be the
result was foretold by tbe opponents of
the loan at the time it was proposed,
and was indignantly denied by its
friends. Some of them, at least, were
disingenuous in denial, and intended
that the money should be a gift and not
a loan, as is evident from the peculiar
wording of tbe bill appropriating it.
“The appropriation hereinbefore made
shall be paid in full into the Treasury of
the United States before any dividend,
or. percentage of tbe profits shall be
paid to the holders of said stock.”
The advocates of the grant professed
to read these words with a comma af
ter the word “dividend” and persuaded
the public that no dividend of any kind
would be paid to tbe stockholders
until the loan from the United States
had been first returned. Now, by their
counsel learned in the law, they have
successfully contended that there is no
such comma, and that only a “dividend
or .per centage of the profits” was in
tended. Inasmuch as a dividend of
capital is not a dividend of profits, they
have got the Judge to say that the
stockholder may pocket the $1,500,000
as returned capital, and the United
States must lose the whole.
This is not the first time that a com
ma or the want of r it has been made a
fish hook by which to pull money out
of the public Treasury. A clause in the
Tariff act of 1575, by the omission of this
mildest sign of punctuation, admitted
free ol' duty all kinds of foreign fruits,
when the intention of Congress was
merely to exempt' fruits imported for
‘the 1 Sake of thbir seeds. The trick in
•that case was universally denounced
and,speedily frustrated, but in regard
to the $1,500,000* now in question tbe
nation is very possibly without a rem
edy.
Ben Hill Goes to the Senate.
At the ballot he’d by the Legislature
on Friday, Mr. Hill received 110 votes,
109 being necessary to a choice. A
member aunounced that Ben Hill was
elected to the Senate for six years. “No,”
said Spealrer Bacon, “he is elected to that
position for his natural life.” Eye wit
nesses say that the scene was one of the
wildest ever beheld ; old men were af
fected to tears, and there was general
hand-shaking and congratulations all
around. The news here was gladly hail
ed by Hill’s admirers, and even those
who were opposed to ’his election fell
into the good feeling that prevailed.
While not favoring his election, we
earnestly hope he may win many l right
laurels in the honorable position to
which his State has exalted him, and no
one will render a just tribute for his
good deeds sooner than ourself.
The Electoral Bill Passed.
The electoral bill has passed both
houses, in the Senate by a full two-third
vote. Horton spoke bitterly against the
bill, and Conkling i said to have made
the most masterly effort ever heard in
tbe Senate in its favor. Ben Hill made
an able speech in the House for the bill,
and at its close received notice of bis
election to tbe Senate. Proctor Knott
opposed its passage, and the Alabama
delegation voted solidly against it.
Some doubts are expressed as to the
President signing it, but it can be pmssed
over his veto.
Illinois Sends a Good Senator.
The news of the defeat of Logan for
the Senate will meet with joy through
out the South ; but it is still as gratify
ing to know that a good man has been
chosen in his place—no other than Jus
tice David Davis of the U. S. Supreme
Court, and who was Horace Greeley’s
principal competitor for the Presidential
nomination in 1872. With Democratic
Senators from Louisiana and South
Carolina, the Democrats will have two
majority in that body afler the 4th of
March, if we mistake not. Let the good
work go on.
Query.
If the Georgia railroad paid its taxes
into the State treasury, as all other pa
triotic corporations do, would the amount
be deducted from dividends or woultp
the freight tariff be increased ?
—— --Oo ———
Will some learned editor read us a
homily on the impropriety of tbe State
incurring any further debt by granting
State aid to railroads. It would be ex
ceedingly timely just at this precise time,
and expecially if from an impartial
source.

When we pay the same frieght from
Augusta to Lexington depot as from
New York to Augusta, is it any wonder
that farmers complain of high prices of
goods received and low prices for goods
shipped from this point ?
C. K. Jarrett, of Habersham is dead.
He was extensively known in Elbert and
Hart. -
The livid, dark crimson spots, some
times called “port-wine marks,” with
which some persons faces are naturally
disfigured,! have generally been regarded
as indelible. Tbe surgeon of the Lon
don hospital has performed several suc
cessful operations, however, and he de
scribes them for the benefit of his pro
fession. He makes a clean-cut. parallel
incisions [over the affected surface, about
a sixteenth of an inch apart, after mak
ing the flesh insensible with ether spray.
Upon healing, the blemish is gone, and
no scars are left if the operation has
been carefully done.
CONSUMPTIVES TAKE NOTICE!
Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends, on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testimony
in favor of Dr. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, as a
cure for Consumption, far exceeds all that can
be brought to support the pretensions of any
other medicine. See Di. Schenck’s Almanac,
containing the certificates of many persons of
the highest respectability, who have been re
stored to health, after.beingjpronounced incurable
by physicians ofacknewledgedability. ScbeDck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences wilt show ; but the cure Is often pro
moted by the employment of two other remedies
which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose.
These additional remedies are Schenck’s Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the timely
use of these medicines, according to directions,
Dr. Schenck certifies that most any case of Con
sumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal
office, Corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters of advice must
be addressed.
