Shobeb leaves this morning on & general canvassing tour through Florida and South-Western, Georgia in-the interest of the Morning News. Those of our old sub scribers whose terms of subscription have expired or are about to expire, can avail themselves of his visit to their respective towns to renew the same, and he will be pleased to i receive any new subscriptions. 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 zens of the Bepnblic.• - / •, • .. • .y ’> « o Hi says the Louisville CoUrier, a lot of the miserable carpet-hag scoundrels who are now Instilling Badical sedition into the minda of the ignorant negroes, weTe taken np and .im prisoned under the laws as vagrants without the visible means of support, the New York Tribune would,- of course, regard it as another, proof of the existence of- “(he nejy rebels lion,” 'and would demand' military 'interfer ence. j We don’t know but the experiment is worth trying. Carpet-baggers unquestiona bly come under the • provisions of the .laws concerting vagabonds. H We learn from Our Western cxchangc-s that the speeches of Gov Seymour are creating the wildest enthusiasm among the ‘people wherever delivered, . His "utterances, cany with-them the weight.of maturejstatesman ship, and cannot fail to make a-deep impres sion upon the thinking portion'd? the people. In contrast with the meaningless mottoes of Gen. Gaunt, the sound views of Gov. Sey mour are like' glittering diamonds-by the side of worthless paste. -< “One blast upon his bugle horn Is worth ten thousand men.'* The Baptist fair at Atlanta voted a cane to Mr. Stephens, as the most popular Tn fir » in HAnwno 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 ton Express. - v-* 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.— Constitution.-; How They do in Gotham.—A New York paper, in speaking^of a: recent operatic per formance in that city,' says: "- :; Some of the toiletteklast night were very . rich JLuhd. cbnb lady, in rather" extravagant powdered hair, penciled eve-brows, and artis tically printed cheeks, attracted a great deal of attention. Bonnets were worn, however, by most of the ladies, and the frill opera style of dress was not generally adopted. .ft— 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, one way or the other, upon the- finances of the country, which are. iRyoivgjljflJlto elei> tion of- a President for the next four yr— lb: :• of Letters ber will please Bay “Advertised,” and bring with them tno necessary change: .

Alton, William 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.
