C. BARNETT, Former Secretary of State. Wednesday Morning, November 13,1872 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 the power of the few against the efforts Bribes and largesses douceurs and ‘place,’ are cot only com mon to their elections, but their avow- sense.; e( ] 0 p 6 n employment, has acquired United; the force and approval of legitimacy States, but the whole money power ofj These scandalous and demoralizing the country, the bond-holders, the i practices—pursued alike by the offi- bankers ami brokers, and speculators' cl *' 8 °. fth< V aOTW ? B, “‘ “ d . .** P n T f. . ■ vate adventurer—by the nooihtyand 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 Gen. Hancock or some other pure Democrat. If wo had done so he wouid have been defeated. It is not 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. Co min? £ vents Cast their Bhadows Before. 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. BatT Haute is said to be an attrac tive and picturesque talker, though not remarkable in appearance, bis face bearing no evidence of the inner fire of genius. He is not fanatical infond- ceue lor labor. was substituted for prerogative, money 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.” IMPARTIAL.

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. L 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. From the Sunday Appeal. “Che Exceeding Great Steward.” (rests not upon the South.

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. Horace Greeley New York, Nov. G, 1872. 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 delphia Age say* that the torn “carpet-bagger" is a literal translation of tha French pnrase “Homme doaae,” which is defined in the diction aries aa rogue, thief, &c.

THE Horse Malady in Charleston —Tbe News says there is, unfortunately, no use in trying any longer to conceal the fact that the horse mala dy hae appeared in the city of Charleston to an alarming extent, and that a majority of the work horses and mules of the city are more or less af fected. It has first appeared, as is very nstural, among tbe animals employed by tbe draymen iu hauling tbe heavy freights that have been passing through Charleston during the past tew weeks, and almost every one of these animals is now sick- At the severs!' public stables, the News coants an about ISO horses affected. 8everal others in ’the city railway stables are affected, and at the guard-house, of the twelve or fifteen bonee owned by the police department, all arc more or laaa afr fee ted.

I bars been a great sufferer for years, and bad the advices! varioss physicians. Some pronounced my spice, sont ray lungs, and some my heart to be the seat of my die. ease. I have been burut, blistered and cupped util 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. My {carnal abounds with similar letters, all tf which 1 guarantee to be genuine and written by Us persons whose names they beat. Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Don’t Is drawn nway after new and doubtful experiments Don’t risk yonr health by letting novices experisMt upon yoa with their trash. My Sarsaparilla has stood the teit for twenty-five years; it is still the Sarsaparilla of ths day, and of tbe age, towering over all others is popularity sad its curative qualities. Avoid all thots who are trying to pakn off on you other extraets ef Sarsaparilla, so-called.

Being moved no often, my wounds have not healed vet. I have not net np n moment since I was wounded. I am shot through the hips. My general health is im paired, and I need something to ass.st nature; I hart more faith in yonr 8arsaparilla than anything else. I wish that which is genuine.
