Governor of Georgia, in relation to the elec-

Mr. TF. A. Shobeb leaves this morning on

tion in- tiiis State, and give a Badical Con
gress grounds - for setting aside entirely our
electoral vote. He knows, and his whole
parly knows, that the Democratic Electoral
Ticket jwill receive a very large majority of
the votes cast in this State, and hence this
attempt to cheat and defraud the people by
directiiig the elections to be held in a manner
which -is clearly and unmistakably in viola
tion of the laws of the State. He knew that
Congress would throw out the vote of Geor-
gialf it were shown that the elections were
not h£ld - in conformity to the laws of the
State, land that his power to repeal or modify
the existing law would not be recognized by
that body. This, we believe, was the main
reason for the promulgation of his illegal,
proclamation.
Doubtless another reason which operated
upon tis mind was the hope, that by having
three election boxes at the county sites, the
Loyal Leagues would be able to bring to
those boxes all the negro voters, when the
influence and tyranny, and force, and fear of
these insurrectionary societies would be suf
ficient to control the laige body of the negro
votes!
Never in the history of the State has such
BULLOCK’S ATTEMPT TO PREVENT
A LEGAL ELECTION IN GEORGIA.
With a view to bring the subject to the im
mediate notice of our readers, and'especially
of the sheriffs and other officers of the law
charged with the management of the election,
we have given & prominent place to the ar
ticle from the Augusta Chronicle, in reference
to Bullock’s edict, prescibing the mode in
which the balloting shall be conducted on
Friday next.
It will be seen that the editor of the Chron
icle, who has examined the law on the sub
ject, sustains the prevailing opinion that Bol
lock’s interference, requiring more than one
ballot-box at each county site, as not .only un
authorized and illegal, but is-.purposely de
signed to defeat the holding of a legal elec
tion in this State, and to enable the Badicals
to set aside the election on the grounds of
illegality. It is very certain that the election
to be legal must be conducted in accordance
with the laws of the State. Does the law au
thorize Bullock to require more than one
ballot-box to be opened at the same precinct,
or to scatter precincts in out of the way
places, as many, and wherever he pleases?
If there is no law for this innovation, so con
ducive to fraud, what security have the hon.
est voters of the State, that failing thereby to
obtain sufficient illegal votes to carry the re
spective counties for their candidates, the
Badicals would not protest against the count
ing of the votes contained in the duplicate
and triplicate ballot-boxes ?
Taking this view of the matter, the lawless
interference of Bullock: in the management,
of the election, on Tuesday next, assumes a
degree of importance which should claim the
attention of the sworn civil officers of the
State, who should take prompt and concerted
action to prevent the consummation of the con
templated fraud. The-Democratic' Executive
Committee of -the State should take the mat
ter under consideration at once, and recom
mend the conrse to be pursued in order that
there might be perfect unanimity of action
throughout the'State.
WHO MAX VOTE FOB PRESIDENT
AND VICE PRESIDENT.
Section 2d, Article H, of the new Constitu
tion, thus defines the qualifications of voters:
“Eveqy male person bora in thp United
States, and every male person who has been
naturalized, or who has legally declared his in
tention to become a citizen of the United States,
twenty-one years old, or upward, who' has
resided in this State six months next preceding
the election, and shall have resided thirty
days in the county in which he offers to vote,
and shall have paid all taxes which may have
been required of him, and which he may
have had an opportunity of paying, agreea
bly to law, for the year next preceding the
election, shall be deemed an elector; and
every male citizen of the United States of the
age aforesaid who may be a resident of the
Stat6 at the time of the adoption of this Con
stitution, shall be deemed an elector, and
shall have all the rights of an elector as
aforesaid.”
From the above it will be. seen that under
the existing Constitution of Georgia, it is not
necessary that a man shall have perfected his
naturalization to entitle him to vote. It is
only necessary that he shall have “declared
his intention .to become .a' citizen of the United
States,” This be may do at any time pre
vious to the day of election.
Every whi te man who intends to* make Ms
home and that of his children in this coun
try, and who feels an interest "in maintaining
the Constitution, as the only guarantee of free
Bepnblican Government, should not neglect
this opportunity of making his influence felt
on the side of the friends ofthe Constitution,
law.and civil liberty, by casungffais vote for
Seymoub and Blaik. Let all such not only
declare their intention, Irat give this signal
proof Of their determination to be good-citi

an opfen and unblushing attempt been made
by a high officer of the Government to vio
late the law’s. Never was official action so
clearly and entirely qithout lawful warrant or
authority. It remains to be seen whether the
Sheriffs in the different counties will dare to
violate the laws of the land which they have
sworn to obey, in obedience to this unlawful
mandate. Every officer or other person who
attempts to open more than one box or place
of vdting at each Court House or county site,
will be- guilty of a high crime or misde
meanor, and should be promptly arrested,
indicted! tried, convicted and punished, for
snehjattempt to interfere with the purity of
the ballot-box, in defiance of the plain pro
visions of the law of the State.
We tell these officers that Bullock has no
more right to interfere in the matter of elec
tion precincts and ballot-boxes than Aaron
AlpPoria Bradley, J. E. Bryant or any other
irresponsible carpet-bagger. We tell them
that by the laws of the State, only the Inferior
Court (now the Ordinary Court) at a regular
term] can change, alter or establish election pre
cincts, and that no power short of Legislature en
actment can authorize or legalize the opening of
more than one ballot-box at the county sites.
Let those officers in the different counties,
who’ are disposed to do their duty fully and
not violate the laws, consult their local At
torneys upon this subject before they act, if
they four to take our opinion as the law of
the pase. There is not, we venture to say, a
[e respectable lawyer in the State who
not agree with us in relation to the inva
lidity of Bullock’s order.
If how ever, some of Bullock’s carpet-bag,
or wdr.se still, scalawag Sheriffs, shall attempt
to open more than one box at the respective
Houses, we advise and urge our friends
ve all Democratic votes deposited in the
regular box or voting place heretofore
[Wished by law and custom. Be vigilant
ireventing a Democratic ballot from find-
ingjits way into the illegal boxes. Then let
the 1 Superintendents refuse to count or touch
in any manner the ballots, tally sheets, and
listfe of voters, which may have been received
and kept at the illegal boxes. When the Su
perintendents of the several precincts in the
cotinty meet the next morning to- consolidate
anij count the whole county vote, they Bhoold
refiise to touch, count, or recognize, the tally
sheets and ballots cast at the illegal boxes.
. Inthis way we-can preserve the purity of the
ballot-box, conform to the spirit and letter of
ouy election laws and prevent the loss of the
. State’s vote for Seymoub and Blair.
"jVe urge our friends, also, to have firm,
decided, but prudent men at these illegal
boxes, if any are opened, provided with full
lists of all those who have paid their State
and comity taxes, and challenge every person
wllo attempts to vote whose name does not
appear bn the list as having given in and
paid all taxes which have been required of him and
which he has had an opportunity of paying,
If the people should decide ini November to
continue Badical rule for four years longer,
with all the corruption and extravagance of
that party, we confess that ti)e prospect .will
not look very bright for the bondholder, The
only hope for payment of the public creditors
is by placing a Democratic administration in
..power, with a statesman like Gov. Seymour
at the head, who is an acknowledged master
of finance, and who will enforce such a man
agement as will relieve the nation from its
present financial embarrassments.—Washing

Payment of Interest on the Public Debt.
On the 1st of November about $23,700,000 in
tlii
tlj«
coin will be token from the vaults of the
Treasury Department to pay the semi-annual
interest on the five-twenty bonds, which falls
due v on that date. The Secretary has now on
hand about $100,000,000 in coin, $20,000,000
of which is in certificates. By the first of the
month $3,500,000 in coin will be added to
e amount now on hand, and, deducting
lerefrom the amount necessary to pay the
interest, will leave' a balance bn band of $79,-
800,000 ($20,000,000 in certificates). No
more interest dne until the 1st of January,
1869, when about $28,000,000 in coin will be
required to pay the Semi-annual interest on
the bonds for 1881, which is about the amount
that is estimated will be received during * the
months of November and December, leaving
tffecoin on hand Januaiy 1st, 1869, about-
the,same as on the first of next month.
The Pacific Railroad.—On last Monday
the Union Pacific Bailroad Company had
cars running over eight hundred and sixty
miles of their line. Government bonds hav.e
been issued for seven hundred and eighty
miles, and the President to-day signed the
necessary order for making out and. de
livering thoSEs for the next twenty miles. The
Commissioners have accepted eight hundred
miles of the road, ahd .’the necessary order :
was also signed to-day for the examination of
the next tweniy-mile section. ;
Titbre can be No Congressional Election
TILL AFTER THE MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE.
—An order from any source for an election in
this State for members to the 41st Congress,
will be illegal and.void.- If such an order
should be issued by any living creature, and
any party shall attempt to-elect; we advise
uncompromising opposition, on the. part of
the law-abiding party—the Democracy. The
civil laws of Georgia -are- supreme, and w e
are a poor set if WU don’t maintain them.—

How They do in Gotham.—A New York
paper, in speaking^of a: recent operatic per

powdered hair, penciled eve-brows, and artis

by most of the ladies, and the frill opera style
of dress was not generally adopted.

TUB OAT1I THE"
Unless thefe is a concerted system of per
jury, says the Columbus Enquirer, of Sunday,
persons who have not paid their poll taxes of
last year, cannot vote in the approaching elec
tion, notwithstanding Gov. Bullock's procla
mation postponing the 'collection of the tax.
The foUowing is-the-oath that voters have to.
take, as prescribed by the Constitution, when
challenged: , _
“I swear that I have attained the age of
twentv-one years; thatrTam a citizen of the
United States, andhave.Teride^/pr the. last
six months in this Gtnf$ -and for the last
thirty days in-.this county, and have consider
ed it and claimed itras uiy home, and-have
paid all legal-taxes which have'been required
of me, and which I have had an opportunity
of paying agreeably to law, for the year'pre-
ceding this election. So help me God.”
No man can, with truth, swear that he has
not had an opportunity of paying his taxes'
for last year. flil have been called upon re
peatedly by the proper officers to come np
and pay these taxes; notice after notice has
has been" published that the officers were
waiting and the law required payment with
out further delay, and threats of execution
have been made. There is no court that
could decide that an “opportunity” has not
beenaffprded.
TEN MILLIONS IN WARRANTS GIVEN
IN ONE DAY AT THE TREASURY—
HEAVY INCREASE I-V THK PUBLIC
DEBT. .... .;
We stated last week that ton millions were
paid into the Treasury in one day. • This
looked like a large sum, but we learn that
nearly ten millions of dollars in warrants were
given at the Treasury in one day, this week !
These heavy-payments at the Treasury since
the statement of the Secretary of the amount
of the public debt on the 30 th of September
must show an immense increase when the
statement for October appears. The exhibit
for September, instead of showing considera
ble increase of the public debt, as was antioi-
t ated both here and in.New York, showed a
acreage. This may be explained when the
fact, is stated that all payments known as
quarterages, dne and payable on the 30th
September, were settled in this month.,
The increase of the public debt, which will
astonish every one, will not be officially made
known till the - Residential election is past,
and we give the information now for. the bene
fit of the bondholders, taxpayers, and others,
whose votes, ore to exert a future influence,

SPANISH ITEMS,
The population of Madrid has been living
in the streets for three weeks. The work
shops are deserted—national workshops are
being organized, where Every man who chooses
to register his name is entitled to a per diem
from the. public treasury; the stores are all
closed, either from patriotism or precaution,
and adorned with the national colors. Any
without these saving symbols are sacked with
out mercy. During the day everybody joins
in the processions, which are renewed every
hour, either to escort one Provincial deputa
tion or another to felicitate the Junta, and be
complimented in turn by itj.-pr. to acclaim a
Madoz, Aguirre or ether approved Patriot,
who may chance to pass and listen to the
harangues which they are compelled: to pro
nounce. The nights are passed in giving ser
enades to these same patriots, and enjoying
the illuminations. Nobody works, and no
body takes any rest— but order reigns at Mad
rid. . - <; r> - --
As of Madrid, so of every other city in
Spain. Each has its. Junta—which issues de
crees, abolishes taxes, sets Up national work
shops, receives deputations, organizes fire
works, and listens to speeches and serenades.
It is said the Emperor Napoleon has re
marked : ‘‘Spain and" the Revolution tire in
their honeymoon.
While joy and idleness are the order ef the
day, no step has been taken for the future
government of (he country.
The general abolition of taxes and the
waste of all the public money in hand, will
soon leave the Central and Provisional Jun
tas without a dollar. The exclnBion of all
the Bourbons from the throne restricts the
choice to . a foreign Prince or a Bepnblic.
Some Provinces have protested against the
supreme authority exercised by Serrano and
Prim. Olozago, Madoz and Olano have re
fused their adhesion to the Junta—the’rea
son not known—but the feet excites appre
hension. Serrano leans to a monarchy, Prim
is now said to favor a Bepnblic.
sv Some few atrocities have been perpetrated.
Individuals, suspected of being spies of the
old Government, have been butchered and
dragged along the streets. The marble pal
ace of. the Duke de Medina—Celi, in Madrid,
was about to be sacked—but the new national
colors being opportunely exhibited, it was
saved, and the Duke acclaimed. The poor
Queen’s statutes have everywhere been thrown
down and mutilated. In Barcelona the head
was cut off, and dragged by an enthusiastic
mob all round the town. Her Majesty, in
her secure retreat at Pau, can smile at the
impotent malignity.
The French Ambassador at Madrid has re-
' ceived express instructions to keep bis Gov
ernment folly advised of eveiy incident, but
to observe the strictest neutrality between the
various pretenders to the crown. The num
ber of these is said to diminish daily. The
Duke d’Aumale has written to his brother,
Hontpensier, to persuade him not to be a
competitor for the throne—and the advice,
no doubt, will be heeded.—rRichmmul Whig.
FRENCH ITEMS.
A Paris paper says that the use of register
ing instruments at present established in dif
ferent meteorological observatories has led
the Committee of the British Association to
divide the snrfece of the sea into equal mete-:
orological provinces, each 10° of .latitude
and 10° of longitude, being consequently 100
degrees square. The meterological results
are combined so as to give an exact idea of
the circumstances which influence their cli
mate—such os the direction of winds, the
barometric pressure, mean heat, direction of
the currents, waves, form the clouds, electrical
stale, <fcc., &c. Unnecessary to say, this in
formation is collected by. aid of ship journals,
after the system of Commodore Maury. ■
and Isabella, and the clear Marfori, and'Prim
and the Juntas. Jackets,, a new fashion, im
ported from England, have come in to divert
Parisian ideas: the Water-proof—“a hideous,
revolting, deformed - and horrible fashion,
which rages like an epidemic. Enveloped,
and twisted into this winding-eheet of ele
gance, . the handsome and the Ugly, the de
formed and the seducing, the bandy-legged
and the straight—all are equal in this odious
’ uniform. 'There are na innr«wiiimiTi |
but walking sentry-boxes in the Btraeljt^ -The
Water-proof, it is the Waterloo of the French
toilette.” It will evidently run the "French:
crazy! 1, .• •*"
The Parisians have also got into a great
rage against smoking. Associations, male
and female, are being formed to put down the
detestable practice. The 'ladies, it is ' said,
who~ belong to these associations, pledge
themselves not . to dance or promenade, or
otherwise civilly deport themselves to any
gentleman who' smokes. If they be real
charmers, and. stick to this pledge, they can
not fail of success. But there is the rub.
Will they stick. -
It is estimated that smoking costs in France
$60,000,000 a year. At any rate, -that is the
amount received by the treasury from the
sale of tobacco.
in.—Mr. Adams, of Masso-
chusetts, returning from the South, gives his
views of the condition of things there, in a
letter which eoncludes thus: •
I have just come from ii country where they
feel ihe benefits and blessings of the recon
struction laws—the Radical Constitution;’
and if I ever needed anything to intensify my
devotion to the supreme law of the Fathers,-
I found it there. If our friends only-knew-
wlint a curse it is to be “reconstructed,” they
would never slack their struggle until the
Union was restored to every' State, and the"
ineffable blessings of the old Constitution se
cured to every man, no matter if he is - white
or was a “rebel.”
Yours, truly, John Q. Adams.
