The Presidential Blectton.
Thunder and Lightning about then# days.—Almanack.
The story of the late election is
soon told. Every one ol the northern
States have given a majority for Grant
and he is elected for four years more.
Already some of the wculd-be prophetB
ftre crying out “I told you so.” They
never told us any such thing; butsome
of them were noisy Greeley men, long
before wo were, aud before the Balti
more Convention met. Under all the
circumstances Greeley was our best
chance and we do not regret support-,
ing him. No honest man could haveK 1 tije millions,
succeeded against Grant at this time.;
It was a race of dollars against
Not only the Treasury of the
^or theUnion & Recorder.
The &ate Presidential Contest.
The re-election of General Grant is
not so much a triumph of one political
party over another, nor the augmenta
tion of any political principles, as it is
, an exhibition of the brute power of
! faction in behalf of office, and the per-
! petuation of a system of unjust expen
ditures of the public treasure, to main
tain a few thousaud partizans in the
enjoyment of salaries, and effectually
to realize the millions that have been
appropriated in the interest of Rail
road rings, manufacture*, and the
numberless other schemes, for the
benefit of existing or forthcoming mo
nopolies. It is simply an avalanche
of a money-aristocracy—a deluge-like
sweep from the accumulated surplus
of capital that was born of the war-
struggle—grew up under its auspices,
and has continued to swell until its
waves overwhelm every and all bar
riers whatsoever. Such, in fact, are
the corrupting and irresistable ele
ments which ‘stuff’ the ballot-boxes,
everywhere, and ‘repeat’ as the de
mand of important localities require.
We might as well expect to arrest
flame with flaxen bands, or choke
the gulf stream with cargoes of sand
deposited in gill installments, as to
escape the influence of money when
used by unscrupulous politicians and
men backed by the power of the Gov
ernment to secure results needful.to
the exigencies of its party-organiza
tion ! Let us reflect only for a mo
ment, upon English capital and Eng
lish politics—what they are, and how
they have been managed, to sustain

were all anxious to keep Grant in
power. He is their patron and pro
tector. Tneso men have no use for an
honest administration, such as Gree
ley would have inaugurated. Grant’s
administration has been a jubilee for
rogues. Many of them have made
fortunes by dishonest means, and they
don’t want be made to give an account
of their stewardship, which they
knew they would have to do if Gree
ley came into power. It is useless for
us to recret that wo did not nominate

gentry of a kingdom renowned, en
lightened aud public-spirited as Great
Britain—cannot be supposed incapa
ble of infecting other States and na
tionalities whose institutions, civil, re
ligious, social and political, are, if any
thing, more open and liable to the
indulgence of the same meanB for the
same purposes. When English kings
ruled as despots, such appliances were
not needed or were not in vogue. The
ax and block were then more the ‘ratio
suasoria’ than the '•ratio justifica'; and
royalty itself had no fears of decolla
tion. But since the fate of Charles
i established “ reform,” and influence
Grant’s popularity, or Greeley’s un
popularity, that has decided this elec
tion, but money; and the man who
would encourage bribery and corrup
tion in high places is the mac for their
money. Unfortunately for the country
tLese corrupt men have many honest
men in their power and when they
have much at stake, as at present,
they can exert a great influence at
elections. It was before this terrible
combination of money and rascaiity,
that the honest Greeley men and the
true Democracy went down in the late
election. But they won’t stay down.
A great and intelligent people cannot-
long be ruled by knaves and money
bags. The rogues will soon fall out
and prey upon each other, and hones
ty will again be in requisition. We
rejoice that amid the general crash,
Georgia and a few of the Southern
States have stood firm. They will
serve as a corps dc reserve around
which honest men may rally until
this florin of corrupticu shall blow
over.

The agents of Clews and Company
are already at work in Georgia. They
bave captured Atlanta and Fulton
county and have defeated Col. Glenn;
else how shall we account for the
great and sudden change in the poli
tics of Atlanta? In one mouth, Atlan
ta, from being one of the Strongholds
of Democracy, has become on3 of the
strongholds of Radicalism. Clews
and Company have been at work there.
The lobby ring of Atlanta believe
there is money in this bond question
and they have already gone over to
Clews and Company, and have carried
a majority of the voters of Atlanta
with them. Having carried a majori
ty of the people of Atlanta over to
Grant, Clews and Co., they think they
will have a fair chance to operate up
on the members of the Legislature
We hope and trust all of the Legisla
ture will have honesty enough to
spurn them, and their bribes; but we
shall see. Time will prove whether
Clews and Co., can manage a Georgia
Legislature as easily as Simon Came
ron can manage that of Pennsylvania.
The Horse Distemper vx. the Grant
Distemper.
There appears to be a close race at
the Noith between Gen. Grant and
the horse distemper. The last we
heard from the North they were run
ning neck and neck, and it was doubt
ful which wouid come out ahead
Both are loathsome and very distress
ing, but neither have proved fatal but
in a few cases. Both came from the
North and neither, as yet, have become
very prevalent at the South. Tur
pentiueis a sovereign remedy for both,
which is probably the reason why
neither has spread much in the pine
woods. Both diseases prevail very
extensively among the fast-trotters
qnd sh,pddyites. Both distempers at
tack the head and throat, and may
have been produced by bad provender
in one case aud bad whiskey in the
other. The animal that has either
disease bad, soon loses all sense and
becomes unmanageable. Wherever
either disease prevails all business is
paralysed aud the people mourn. It is
to be hoped that a benevolent provi
deuce will soon remove this double af
fliction from the land, and that business
will revive, aud happiness again be
restored to an afflicted people.

aud positions of emolument have grad
ually become the engines that subsi
dize and convert %vithout torture, and
triumph without the purifying regi
men of the Tower! Whether the
American Union will be merged, with
becoming decency, into another Impe
rial Democracy, Athens iike: or
whether any transition will not be
stayed for a time by a quasi Republic
of Aristocrats, may not, as yet, figure
upon the horoscope; but that there is
little difference in the machinery which
runs onr own and the English Govern
ments—but little difference between
the Radical’s Cabinet of Secretaries—
their Senators and Representatives iu
Congress, and the Ministerial mem
bers—the Lords aud Commons of the
British Parliament, needs no telescopic
intervention to perceive. We regard
our country as virtually ‘sold’ for an
indefinite period at least: and can but
deplore that the ballot-box has proven
as inefficient to redeem us from the
shambles, as the war for secession
failed to prevent the culmination of
the iniquitous monstrosity.
There is, however-, another and
quite opposite aspect which reflects
the honor, magnanimity and good
faith, as well as the purity in political
creed of the larger portion of the re
ceDtly defeated combination-party of
Reform, aud utilizes the Democracy of
the Southern States to all their former
and ancient professions and efforts
against the fraudulent means through
which justice and right have again
been trampled down by a second series—
a later spawn, of their Northern con
querors ! The South has, indeed,
proven to the woild, what manner of
people compose it. Her citizens have
not only verified the spotless ermine of
their principles in the past, but their
abiding unselfishness for the flesh pots
of party and the iusignia of office,
when weighed in the balance against
their common country and its sacred
institutions. In supporting Horace
Greeley as a choice of evils—none the
less bitter on that account—-and as a
possibility for arresting greater—be
cause actually existing and fearfully
increasing abuses of the national ad
ministration—the Southern Democrat
nobly illustrated his oft-repeated de
claration that justice alone and the
rights which the Federal Constitution
guaranteed to him, were his chief and
highest aim. The naked fact that
Horace Greeley could, under any
emergency, receive a Southern ballot:
that the man of all others most ob
noxious, because more than any other
the instigator and abettor of Southern
wrougs and Southern spoliation—
should be, nay, has been honored by
Southern votes—seems like a dream,
or the apocalyptic dawn of universal
regeneration ! But, however strange
the fact may appear, there is neither
fiction nor disguise about the matter.
Upon the altar of their country, the
people of the South, its Democratic
strength, its nobility and gentry, rank
aud file, all, with unanimity rarely
equalled, sacrificed every feeling and
every motive of individual resent
ment. They merged in the repre
sentative character of the Tarty of Re
form, their prejudices and their in
juries, in the hope that a notoriously
corrupt and paralysing faction might
bo broken down. They voted for no
man perse, but for political reform
and constitutional supremacy. Our
houses were in flames, as were our
neighbors—we accepted and recipro
cated buckets of water from any and
ail hands that held out assistance! It
was England and France before Se
bastopol—it was an alliance against a
common and implacable foe. Self-
preservation recommended and hallow
ed the effort. If it has failed the fault
Greeley himself can but feel and know
that he*has been rejected by his own,
whilst the stranger and those whom he
persecuted and despoiled, were his fast
and firm allies. But a little while,
and the curtain will shut out the play
ers and the play. Mr. Greeley can
then tell what he knows about “ the
fortunes of a Partizan.” We remit
him to whatever status he msy choose
to assume—conscious that we owe
him nothing, and expecting nothing
from his hands. As for the Democrat
ic Party of the South, it is to-day, like
a Spartan band—glorious in defeat—
united as ever, and ready to maintain
again the chances for its final success.
Our banner though riddled, has still its
motto conspicuous—
“ Fran gas, non flectas.”

For the Union 6t Rsoorder:
Sfazarites of tbe Olden Time.
It may not be uninteresting in these
days when the good cause of Tem
perance claims and needs the advoca
cy and allegiance of the patriot, the
philanthropist and the Christian, to
glance at one of the most ancient or
ders of Temperance men of whom we
have any record in history. At least
thirty-five hundred years agoNazarites
were found among the Jews, and the
probability is that the Nazarite vow
of obstinence was common for ages
previous, among the Egyptians. In
the 6th chapter of Numbers, we have
some account of the Nazarites. It
appears that among other things they
took a vow of total abstinence from
all intoxicating drinks for a limited
time. When the time was over they
were required to perform certain cere
monies and then the vow was no
longer binding. A few took the Naz
arite vow for life. Samson, Samuel
and John the Baptist were Nazarites
tor life. In these cases the dedica
tion to be a Nazarite for life was
made by the parents before the birth
of the Nazarite himself. Almost any
ODe of the Bible Dictionaries will give
the substance of what is known in re
gard to these ancient Temperance men
Undoubtedly the example of those
who were Temperance meu for life, is
the right one for our imitation. But
as membership In a Temperance organ
ization is voluntary, and may termin
ate at the will of the member, his
pledge to the order, of total abstinence
ought to bo limited to actual mem
bership. A great want of the present
day is a new and improved organiza
tion for promoting Temperance, which
shall avoid the mistakes and extrava
gancies that have hindered the pro
gress of this noble cause hitherto.
A Temperance revival is called for.
The long roll ought to be beaten, for
the enemy is upon us, and is vigorous
ly arranging his plans for awful suc
cess among the rising generation, to
say nothing of the prisoners that he is
now leading forth to death.

Your Money of Your LrFE.—It
has been definitely ascertained that a
determined aud dangerous effort will
be made to compel Georgia to pay the
bonds repudiated by the last Legisla
ture. The power of the general gov
ernment is to be invoked iu behalf of
the robber baud. In a recent article
commenting on the publication of
Butiock, the New York Evening Mail
says:
“Georgia will have to be re-recon
structed, unless she pays up Bullock's
Wall street bonds ”
This is nothing more or less than the
demand of the foot-pad. If Georgia
.will pjp for peace she may have it.—
If Dot, she is to bo delivered over again
to the tender mercies of military sa
traps and mulatto legislatures. ' The
issue may be pat to her of bonds or
bayonets. Sue has not yet failed to
meet both bravely and fairly.
Savannah Advertiser.
Col* Lamar, the editor of the Savan
nah Advertiser, in a late Atlanta let
ter, gossips as follows :
The repudiated bonds are to be res
urrected, and there will be a power
ful and well organized effort made to
reverse the verdict of the late Legisla
ture on this subject. More than a
week since an agent fully accredited
left “Frankfort-on-the-Main.” He
will be reinforced in New York, and
if a million or so spent will give life
again to the nine millions repudiated
the money will be at the command of
those who can control votes. A parting
has occurred at the Executive man
sion. The private secretary of the
Governor dwells no more beneath the
same roof with bis Excellency, but has
taken rooms with mine host Gf the
Kimball. The wiseacres shake their
beads in a knowing way and ask : Is
this separation of a domestic charac
ter only? “Quien Sabe.” The Sena
torial election is talked of some little,
but as yet there has been nothing more
than slight skirmishing. In Atlanta
it is whispered that the Governor will
be put in by some gentlemen who
think they can run the State better
than he can. Others speak of taking one
of the strongest candidates out of the
race, with a position on the Supreme
bench. The latest on die about this
last place is that the Hon. Robert P.
Trippe, of Monroe, has the promise of
Judge Montgomery’s place.

There is a speck of war in Asia*—
Corea has long been a thorn in the side
of Japan, and the latter looked with
complacency upon the attack lately
made on that island by a United States

leads to war, China has declared her
inteution of siding with the Coreans

the opportunity. China has at present

Offer thanks with sweet accord.

And when friends shall weep around her
And her lord shall mildly grieve,

On white shaft and verdant sward,
They’ll write “Mrs.” on her tombstone—
Oh .' “exceeding great reward !”
A Card from Horace Greeley.
I Hsw York, November 6.—The Tribune to
morrow will publish the following :
A CaRd.—The undersigned resumes tho edit-
orship of the Tribnne, which he relinquished on
embarking in another line of business six months
ago. Henceforth it shall be his endeavor to make
this a thoroughly independent journal, treating
all parties aud political movements with judicial
fairness and candor, bnt courting the favor and
deprecating the wrath of no one. If he can here
after say anything that will teud heartily to unite
the whole American people on the brood platform
of universal amnesty and impartial snffrage, he
will gladly do so. For the present, however, he
can best commend that consummation by silence
and forbearance. The victors in onr late struggle
can hardly fail to take the wholo subject of South
ern rights and wrongs into early ana earnest con
sideration, and to them for the present he remits
it. Since he will never again be a candidate for
any office, and is not in full accord with either of
the great parties which bave hitherto divided the
country, be will be able and will endeavor to give
a wider aud steadier regard to the progress of sci.
ence. industry and the useful arts, than a parti
•an journal can do, and he will not be provoked to
indulgence in those bitter personalities which are
the recognized bane of journalism. Sustained by
a generous public, be will do his best to make the
Tribune a power in the broader £eld it now con*
templates, as when human freedom was in peril it
was in the arena of political partisanship.

Meeting of the Forty -Third Congress.—
The Forty-Third Congress will not meet until tbe
first Monday of December, 1873, nnlees sooner
called together in extraordinary session. The im
preesion prevails among many persons that the act
of January 22,1867, requiring a new Congreee to
aseemble on March 4th, immediately on adjourn
ment of its predecessors, is still in force, but this
law was repealed by the thirtieth section of the
United 8tat«s statute, approved April 20th, 1871,
and to be found on page twelve of tbe lawe passed
at the first session of the Forty-second Congress
Tbe repealing section is contained in a deficiency
appropriation act, and the entire statute is well
worth examining, as a enrions illustration of the
incongruous measures that are crowded into one
bill during the expiring honrs of a session of Con*
gross.—Washington Patriot’
The Carpet-Bagger.—A writer in the Phila

to tha large pockets and bags used by vagabond
plunderers to carry and conceal tbe proceed* of
their peculations; or, according to modern euphe-

Tax First District.—Returns from the several
counties in this district are meagre and incomplete,
bnt it seems certain that Hon. Morgan Rawls has
bean elected by a majority from 1,000 to 1,500. In
Bnrke county the Radicals have a majority of only
90. In McIntosh county Sic an boats Rawls by about
400. Clinch gives Rawles a majority of 263. Scriven

We have received the following reports from coun

Schley, 50; Lee, 282; Taylor. 250; Pulaski, 465.
Webster reported a small majority for Cock.
We have not heard from any of the counties on the
east side of Flint River, but by a close count we can
safely say that Gen. Cook's majorities will be sufficient
to elect him by at least 2,W)0. It is g-norally conce
de.: that he will be elected by that majority in the dis

Result as to Cosoresshxs.—We think it entirely
safe to assume that the Democrats have carried seven

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: M any thanks to you

I bad become disheartened. Several very emintuit
physicians who examined my spine informed ine that
I was threatened with paralysis or appoplexy any diy
and that nothing but a setun would relieve me. IUJ
a perfect horror of that, and was hesitating sbott
having one inserted, when you kindly sent me yonr
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take tans
times a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain in the right side of my head, especially
when 1 would read or write for any length of time,.and
on rising to my feet I would be perfectly blind for
several minutes, and would have to hold to uomathinj
to prevent falling.
lam most happy to inform you that the pain in my
head is entirely relieved ; I suffer but seldom with my
spine and then not so acutely- My appetite is good;
indeed for the first time in my lite I enjoy my mantr
more than any meal during the day.
You kindly sent me four bottles again Inst night,
and I began again this morning, and I hope to be en
tirely relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thanks tad
best wishes.
Very truly your most grateful friend,
M. B. C. Kings.

Don’t risk yonr health by letting novices experisMt
