Tho Election To-day.
Probably no election since the form
ation of our government has beeD
looked forward to with such great
anxiety : with so many hopeB and fears
as the present. It is believed by many
that the very existance of our form of
government depends upon this elec
tion. We have strong hopes of Gree
ley’s election, but if we are defeated
we shall not yet despair of the repub
lic. We believe the great mass of the
American voters are honest, and
when they are convinced that an ad
ministration is trying to corrupt the
baliot box they will arise iu their
might and overthrow that administra
tion. But tho great difficulty has
been in convincing them that this ad
ministration is so corrupt. Thousands
of tbe most intelligent are convinced,
and will vote with us; we hope
enough to turn the scale in favor of
Greeley. But if we should fail ia this
election the work has commenced, and
will go on until tbe country is re
deemed. If Grant is not defeated
we hope many of his tools in Con
gress will be, so that his power to do
mischief will be reduced. Let us
hope for the best.
place for him. His colored frieuds
have found him out and won’t trust
him any longer, and the white people
never had any use for him. George
now advises the colored people to go
to Liberia. Everybody is willing that
George should go. He need not stand
upon the order of his going, but go at
once.
The following, from the Telegraph
A Messenger shows that George is pro
tected in his rascality by some of bis
political friends in Macon :
The EnlarciBtra! Act—Tefal »f the

The United States Comml*tioaer’» Court met at
nine o’clock yesterday morning, purtuant to adjourn
ment.
The prisoners were present and cave bond for their
appearance from day to day as may he r* qntred. Tho
bondB wer* fixed at $2,50(1, and were given without
the lout difficulty. The bust aud wealthiest men of
Macon came up nad signed tl e bonds—Himp'.y doing
their duty, it is true, bnt doing it promptly and mag
cacimotigiy.
AN KPISOnE.
While tho work of arranging the bonds was pro
gressing, a little episode occurred, which destroyed
tho monotony of things and enlivened the Court
room for a brief while. Mr. District Attorney arose
and atked the Court to instruct the Marshal to take
into custody an officer, who wae engaged in arresting
witnesses who wore in attondanoe npon tbe Court.
Col. Lofton arose and explained the matter. He
said a bailiff had a telegraphic message to arrest one
George Wallace, against whom there was a criminal
prosecution. The bailiff had not arrested the said
Wallace in the Court-room, bnt in the hall, and had
boon advised that it was legal and proper to do so.
The Court ordered the Marshal to bring the bailiff
in. The Marshal went out aud seen reappeared, with
Mr. E. P. Smith, a constable for Justice Sprina.
The District Attorney asserted that the honor and
dignity of the Court had been outraged, that the lawe
gave the witness protection, and the law of our own
.State had been violated.
Col. Lofton justified tbe eonree of the bailiff, and
challenged the Dirtnet Attorney to produce any law
that had been violated. While ho was speaking the
Commissioner stopped him, and told him bo would
hear the whole matter to-day at ten a olook. In the
mi-antime tbs bailiff wae remanded to jail, and was
retused bond.
Several efforts were made by counsel to show the
Court the law upon the subject- but he would look
at nothing aod listen to nothing, but indignantly re
fused to hear anything lurthar, and had Mr. Smith hus
tled off to jail.

C!rnvrfl»h—Tho Prisoner Discharged.
At 3 P, M. yetterday, tho honr set for the hear
ing of Constable Smith, the proceedings began by
the reading of the answer cf the prisoner, which
waa done by his counsel. Men*,-*. Lofton and
Ila'l appeared in his defence. Our reader* will
find fall particulars in tbe report of the city editor.
His serene Highness, it will bo seen, abruptly ai
leuceu every effort of council to show that no par
ty is exempted from arrest for crimiuaj offences,
even in the precinct* of tho Coart room. He bad de
cided the question of contempt the day previous.
Blit, rejoiuod Mr. Lofton, it i* uper: the law of
contempt that I would speak, and propose to prove
from the highest authorities that neither in law
nor in fact has the prisoner . been guilty cf that of
fence.
The Commissioner wss inexorable,however. A
order only. For this our charter was
f iroclaimed “ forfeited” in January
a*t, and the pa3s word was withheld
from us for three months. Though
we demanded a trial according to the
Constitution again and again, it has
never yet been vouchsafed us.
Before the Grand Lodge recently
other questions of controversy arose
threatening to engulf the order in this
State. Prominent among them was
the question of eligibility of negroes
to membership in the order. Mil
ledgeville Lodge forgetting the perse
cutions of the past and solicitous for
the peace of the order, presented the
olive branch in a memorial, suggest
ing a permanent adjustment on the
principle of local self-government.
The Supreme Constitution embodied
the principle. A senseless Ritual
alone seemed to deny it. A usurping
R. W. G. Lodgo had violated it. The
remedy offered was a constitutional
declaration of the Supremacy of the
Grand Lodge of the State in all ques
tions of domestic social and local
policy, establishing the “ white basis
for Georgia, prohibiting sectarian, par-
tizan and political combinations with
the order, and restricting the R. W.
G. Lodge (in the words of its own
constitution) to the “ unwritten work
of the order.”
These propositions were accepted
with unanimity that promised well for
the future. Immediately thereafter a
proposition was offered and urged sub
stantially excommunicating Milledge
ville Lodge (and some others) because
of its construction of Article 2, of its
own Constitution ; because it would
not construe a law of the Order to
bind one who is not a member of the
order! This proposition so dissonant
from the fraternal professions of the
Order, after being tabled and renewed
in different forms, was finally adopted.
The “local self-government” set
tlement, including the “ negro ques
tion” was then reconsidered; the inde
pendent action of two successive Grand
Lodges of Georgia was repudiated, the
fundamental principles of the order
were ignored, and the usurpations of
the R. W. G. Lodge acquiesced in, by a
clear recognition of the power of that body

appeal, but the newly elected State
Government is of a character to prom
ise nothing better.
More Arrests.—Eight more par
ties were arrested yesterday for com
plicity in the Macon riots, and tbe
warrants are not all served yet. A
very little time will serve to show
whose turn comes next. Warrants
are now flying about as promiscuously
as the blotting pad of Life Insurance
companies. It will soon be that it
will be out of the fashion not to be
arrested.— Telegragh ty Messenger.

Court to produce authority for this. In civil
cases he was willing to concode tho question, but
not in criminal prosecutions. Icon show author
ity that gives the power to ac officer to arrest*
criminal anywhere. Then, on what principle can

ceeds bis anthority, and would be prononneed*

which put the party in jarif and pause for a re

Commissioner—Because ho repeated the contempt
in that answer.
Mr Lofton resumed—What right have yom to punish
a man for inoreiy asserting e. legal proposition f Evsn
a member of Congress may be arrested for treason,
felony or breach of peace- This question is limited by
law and yon cannot transcend it-
Mr Farrow—Tbe Court will hear the authorities when
it please*. The prisoner failed to purge him*#lf of
contempt.
Mr Ball—If your nonor decide* ho has no right to
make an arrest, he submits. But it is passing strange
that a man cannot come to court and submit a legal
proposition in respectful term*, without the charge of
contempt. I respectfully submit whether a murderer,
escaping into a court of justioe is thereby free from ar
rest. He bad seen arrests made undor those ciroum-
stances a thousand times. W hen anting as Solicitor
General of Flint Ciieuit, he bad frequently remanded
into custody parties in the court-room against whom
the grand jury had found true bills. What if a man
shoots another down in the street and then rishes for
sanctuary into the Couit-rocm? What judge weald
forbid his arrest, even without a warrant? He would
challenge the annuls of tho lew to furnish a parallel
case to this. Ha would inform his Honor that the law
defines cont'-mpt to be misbehavior, violent alterca
tion, noise,etc. Had his client acted thus? Woald
the Court ever have heard ot the arrest if it had not
been brought to its notice ? That arrest was made be
yond the Court-room, upon the auvico of counsel, and
in a quiet ond orderly manner. He wotfld say that
even jurors, suitors, or any one else, was liable to ar
rest in any presence for crime. Congress by the Act
of 183d had settled the whole question, and now the
iaw was piain and most obvious in the premises. Judge
I’eek vtes impeached for striking a lawyer’s name
from tho roil of attorneys for contempt, and barely
escaped conviction. Even members of Congress, it
guilty of treason or felony, might be arrested hero.
| At thi- point Mr. Farrow, who is praotioaliy Attorney
and Commissioner, too, and sometimes oven answer
for his principal in advance, suggested that if a slight
modification was made in the answers of the prisoner,
by striking out a single brief ssntonoe—which mado

The Grand Lodge at Iiome further
resolved that any departure from the
forms of the Ritual should work a for
feiture of charter.
This is to give to an idle form, full of
incongruities and fanaticism and sacri
lege even—intended to be the servant
of the Lodges, to be used for enter-
tertaimnent and instruction only—a
sanctity superior to the Supremo law
itself.
Either one of these threo steps is
sufficient in our judgment to put your
Order outside of the line of march of
that great reform, that as part and par
cel of the advancing civilization of the
times, has been surging forward in
Georgia for fifty years with a steady
current, save when momentarily impe
ded by fanatical alliance.
Undor the full conviction, therefore,
that the Reform cannot be best pro
moted in this State by an association,
whose simplest police regulations even
are subject to the veto of Australians
and Welchmen and Germans and Pu
ritans; questioning the policy of a uni
versal order with arbitrary head and
and high sounding titles that divert
the mind from the groat charity, and
whet the ambitious appetites of imbe
cility, whilst speculators fatten on its
Treasury; denying the power of meu
to mako irrevocable vows: with steady
faith that, Truth has an inherent
strength, an aggressive energy, as well
as beauty, in its nakedness, greater
than when wrapped in a fanatical
pledge that neither yields to consci
ence nor ends with eternity; assured
at leaet that there are thousands in
Georgia ready to enlist in the great
cause, but repolled by the peculiari
ties of your Order, we seek modestly
aud earnestly to advanco our standard
on a different line.
We have taken this step as a neces
sity and with regret. We could not
be faithful to ourselves or the cause,
and remain with you. The Great Re
form cannot reclino upon the narrow
basis of your order. It must and will
advance, or civilization itself must
retrograde. With foundations broad
as truth its free limbs must be un
shackled by the artificial restraints of
fanaticism. We purpose no antagon
ism to our late associates. A gener
ous emulation alone moves us. We
will be content to glean, where you
have reaped. We will rejoice in your
success, or deplore your failure. At
all events we will preserve happy
memories of your friendship, and best
wishes for you personally and collec
tively.

Washington, October 31.—Two
of this morning’s papers state the re
sult of inquiries at railroad, express
and livery stables, and the conclusions
reached is that forty or fifty horses
have symptoms of the equine epidemic.
Another morning paper, the reporter
of which visited numerous etabies,
says veterinay surgeons are not at
tending any horses in the city suffer
ing from the disease, and furthermore,
that they did not believe there is a
case in town. There are horses, though
notan unuusal number, suffering from
colds, which is not certainly unusual
at this season, but many owners of
horses and those who have horses in
care express a fear that their animals
will be attacked by the disease, aud are
taking precautions accordingly.
New York, October 31.—AH horse
cars stopped early to-night. In Cleve
land the disease is spreading and sever
al livery stables are closed aod the fire
department and express companies’
horses are becoming unfited for service.
Little change reported in Boston,
but the diiease has extended to Water-
ville and Eastport, Maine- In Pough
keepsie, N. Y., and other places on
the Hudson river, the disease is spread

“Ir. acknowledging your communi

most sincerely desiring that no per

personal wish, which I trust will not
bo disregarded, is tho consideration
that if chosen I could not serve. At
tho same time I express ray grateful
sense of the trust reposed iu me by the
conventions which united in this nom
ination. My acknowledgments are
especially due to the conventions
representing my fellow-citizens, to
to whom I have for some time been
opposed on important public ques
tions. I beg them to believe that I
am not insensible to their good will,
which is enhanced by the signs it af

New York, October 30.—Mrs Hor
ace Greeley died this morning at the
residence of Mr. Alvin Johnson. Du
ring the evening yesterday, her symp

her recovery. Such expectations,
however, proved unfounded, as she had
two chills during the night, after
which she was very easy until she
ceased to breathe, at 4 a. m., passing
away peacefully, without any percep

place at Dr. Chapin’s church, at 12

Dr. John Bull—ltear Sir: .Many thanks to you
for the medicine you have so kindly given me. I have
been a great sufferer for years, an.l had the advice of
various physicians. Some pronounced my .-pine, some
my lungs, and *ome my heart to be the scat of my dis
ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped uutil
I had become disheartened. Several very eminent
f hysieians who examined my spine informed me that
was threatened with paralysis or appeplexy any day
and that nothing but a seton would relieve me. I bad
a perfect horror of that, and was heri. atiug about
having one inserted, when you kindly sent ine yonr
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three
times * day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain in the right aide of my head, especially
when I would read or write for any length of time, and
on rising to ray feel I would bo perfectly blind for
several minutes, and would have to hold t) something
to prevent falling.
I am most happy to inform you that tho pain in my
head ia entirely relieved ; I suffer but seldom with my
spine and then not so acutely- Mi appetite is good;
indeed for the first time iu my lift I t njoy my dinner
more than any meal during the day.
Yon kindly sent me four bottles again last night,
and I began again this morning, and X hopo to he en
tirely reliovod- Flense accept my hoartfeit thanks aud
best wishes.
Very truly your most gratofulfri >ud,

Don’t risk your health by letting novices experiment

popularity and its curative qualities. Avoid ull thoso
