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!

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.

Sl'GKSfirs P. miTB EOS COjVTE.TIPT. A Dallying Judge Checkmated nail Jlnilc Ic 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 to approve or annul all our State Lodge steamers have been obliged to ss parlrcipa- an tn f ky District Attorney Farrow sri) c , . . .... , , - , , 1 Lofton, Whittle and Hall.

Agricultural Fairs.—The Agri cultural Fair at Saudersville, we uu derstand, was well attended and suc cessful, as was that also at Thornas- ville. Tho State Fair at Atlanta, we learn from those who were present was a failure. It never should have been carried to Atlanta.

While Aunie Dickerson was lectur ing iu New York on the night of the 25th ult, a Grant official interrupted her with the question : “Who saved the country?” “The people”, replied Miss Dickerson, and as she said it her audience arose, and with swinging hats and handkerchiefs and tremendous cheers echoed and re-echoed her words “The people That functionary had alluded to joraa outside in- torrnpticn* in the first day’s t>3**ion, for which the Court might iuvs remanded tho parties to j*il.— lie was, therefore, right to use dun severity in the present ease Mr. Hail protected against bringing ar.y such matter te bear against the canse of the prisoner, who had exhibits ) sir earnest desire avoid giving offiuco throughout Hi* client had merely submitted * simp!* .e$al p-opoaiiion to the Court.

I ask, is there anything in tbi* answer which put the party in jarif and pause for a re ply. 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 tho difference only that Twixt twecdlednm Anil twoeiiledoe— all would be well, and tne prisoner might go. No sooner said than done, ana thus this famous Dogberry was let down from his impalement on the horn ot hia dilemma. It was high time to come to liis relief, for never was ignorance and inoompetenoy so completely unmasked, and pretentious assumption brought to grief. w But who is to compensate this worthy and !aw-abid ing officer for his 21 hours’ incarceration in the oom mon jail 7 Is there no redress for this!

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. By order of Milledgeville Lodge, Nov. 1st, 1872. R. L. Hunter, 'j C. P.

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.

Du ring the evening yesterday, her symp toms were of such a favorable charac ter as to inspire some faint hopes of her recovery.

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.
