NOTICE.
Mr. W. A. Shobeb, our General Traveling
Agent for South Western Georgia and
Florida, is now on a tour through those sec

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,
The prevailing apathy in, this quarter is in
striking contrast with the extraordinary ac
tivity and deep interest manifested by our
Democratic friends of the interior towns in
the approaching Presidential election. The
fact that the respectable portion of onr white
population are nnanimons in ' their support
of the Democratic nominees for President
and Vice President is no reason why every
voter should not deposit his ballot, and do all
in his power to bring out a fall vote of the
county on Tuesday next. Every true man
who feels that he has a stake in the country,
and who feels a solicitude for the character,
honor and commercial prosperity of the sea
port of Georgia, should exert his influence to
place Savannah high on the roll, among the
foremost cities of the South, in the snpport
of the principles of the Constitution. What
ever may be the resnlt of the issne which de
termines the fate of free Constitutional Gov
ernment, let it not be a reproach that the
men of Savannah and of Chatham connty
were remiss in the discharge of their duty to
the State and the country. In times past it
was written, “as goes old Chatham, so goes
the State.” Let ns not, by apathy and luke
warmness in these days of trial, forfeit the
prond position so justly accorded to ns in the
better days of onr still noble old Common
wealth.
All over the State we hear the note of busy
preparation for the contest on Tuesday. The
Democrats and Conservatives are thoroughly
organized in every city, town and county,
giving assurance that the State will be carried
for Seymour and Blaze by a handsome ma
jority. Onr organization in Chatham is tho
rough and effective, and notwithstanding the
unfavorable circumstances by which we are
surrounded, if onr citizens will come ont to
the polls, Old Chatham will contribute largely
to swell that majority.
As indicative of the spirit which prevails
in the interior counties of our District, we
publish the following from the Thomasville
Watchman :
All to be Closed.—We are authorized to
give notice to the people of Thomas connty gen
erally, that all business houses in Thomasville,
of every description whatever, whether store
houses, ware houses, machine shop, or other
snap, lawyers’ offices and all other offices
will be closed throughout the day, on Tues
day next, the day of election. No business,
therefore, can be transacted on that day ex
cept the business of the public, which will be
for all men to vote and return home.
We commend the example of the people of
Thomas to the citizens of. Savannah. Let
business be suspended on Tuesday, and let
every citizen devote one day to the service of
his country in this crisis of the fate of the
Republic.-"

To any one who has been a habitual reader
of Northern newspapers, magazines and ser
mons, especially those of New England, for
the last thirty years, the truth which Mr.
luma declares is no marvel Since the com
mencement of the abolition crusade, New
England has had her traveling, writing, lec
turing, preaching, drumming and singing
emissaries throughout the South, who lived by
fabricating and disseminating the vilest mis
representations of the Southern people. At
home, in Massachusetts, the press—the ros
trum, the pulpit, the magazine literature, the
schoolbooks, the prayerbooks, and even the
almanacs—have been made the vehicles of
falsehood and defamation, until the people
of that section have become so thoroughly
educated in false opinions of Southern insti
tutions, Southern morality, Southern manners
and civilization, that the troth is even more
incredible to them than the most absurd and
extravagant falsehood. Harriet Belcher
Stowe did more in a single volume to produce
the estrangement between the North and
South, which Mr. Adams so frankly admits, than
he, with all his powers of truth and eloquence,
can nndo, it is to be feared, in years to come.
“Truth crashed to the earth,” we are told,
“will rise again;” but so far as our observa
tion goes, Massachusetts soil is not the most
favorable , upon which to make the experi
ment.' '
BULLOCK’S TELEGRAPHIC PKOCLA-
\ MATIDN.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta
Constitutionalist says the Bullock is still ab
sent, and adds:
“I learn that his proclamation suspending
that portion of his and Brown’s and Meade’s
Constitution relative to the poll tax, was
telegraphed from the North. The collection
of poll tax for 1867, however, has not been
suspended, and I presume voters will have
an opportunity to contribute to the Treasury
of this very-much-in-need-of—funds Common
wealth.”
If Bullock intended only to suspend the
payment of the “onerous taxes levied nnder
the authority of the Constitution of 1865,” as
set forthinthe “whereas” of his proclamation,
in his native stupidity he has failed to accom
plish what he intended to do; and has at
tempted to do what he did notintend to do, for
in the body of his edict as telegraphed from the
North, he makes no allnsion to these “oner
ous taxes” of 1865, hut orders the suspension
of all poll taxes until the next session of the
General Assembly. He sets out by com
plaining that “preparations are being made
to collect onerous taxes levied nnder author
ity of the Constitution of 1865, and failing
to collect, to apply the provisions of the pres
ent Constitution, thereby depriving many
citizens from the privilege of voting;” There
fore to relieve said citizens from the onerous
tax aforesaid, and in order that they .may
not be deprived of the privilege of voting,
lie orders the suspension of all poll taxes, of
coarse including the poll-tax of'the present
year: - Now, whether he designed simply to
relieve the people from the “onerous taxes”
of 1865, or to release them from the require
ments of the Constitution, is a question for
the lawyers to decide. If he meant the for
mer he has not so expressed himself, and if
he meant the latter he has undertaken what
no bollock in Georgia has power to do. If
his telegraphic proclamation is valid as mean
ing anything, it suspends the payment of all
poll taxes, but in doing, so, it does not do
away with the express requirements of the
Constitution in regard to the qualification of
voters.
Monetary.—A New York letter of the 22d
inst. says: ,“ A singular occurrence in the
financial world lends force to the not unfre
quent statement that there is something rot
ten in the monetary Denmark. A Wall street
firm drew a check for $218,000 in gold on ope
of the most substantial banks, as was-thought
in this city. On presentation, the bank offi
cers said it was good, and they would certify
it. On this the truth came ont. The bank
did not have that much gold, nor coold it
command it. The matter was finally settled
by $168,000 in specie then, end the balance,
$50,900, thereafter. There has been much
talk over the circumstance. Another tiling
to be noted is that nobody knows how much,
the national debt is. Only the recorded debt
is given in the monthly statements, and some
say there are at least $4,000,000,000 of out
standing liabilities, war claims, etc. Cut this
down one-half and it is awfnl; cut it down
even seventy-five per cent, and yet it is
dreakfhl to think of such an accession to the
present load.” .. .

Important Insurance Decision.—The New
YorkConrt of Appeals,' the highest judicial
tribunal in the State,-has decided tiiat suicide
does not vitiate a life insurance policy. The
American Mutual Life Insurance Company
refused to pay the widow of Marcus W. Gib
son the sum for which his life had been in
sored because he committed suicide, but the
court reaffirmed the decision of the lower
courts that the policy must be paid. The
company. attempted to prove that -Gibson
wason athiest or infidel, and therefore that
the suicide was intentional, the deceased not
lhaving the fear of God before him; bat the
court ruled out tins as irrelevant and held
that in an* action to recover for an insur
ance upon the life of the deceased, it is in
competent to inquire into his religions faith
With a view of influencing the - question
whether, in such case, .death was occasioned
by an intent Of self-destruction or of accident
The Radical party having crept back into
its old Know Nothing shell, refuses now to
let the naturalized foreigner vote. They
denied him this right in all of the late
elections. Remember, foreigners, on the 3d
i day of November, that the same Radical
party which has 'extended ‘the right of
suffrage to every negro in the South deny it
to you. _
At Lucerne, Queen Victoria was much dis
gusted on Sundays by the -ten-pin playing
going on at all the taverns, in the neighbor
hood of-her hotel. She sent a Chamberlain
to the landlords ot the taverns in question,
and offered them two thousand francs if they
would not allow their gnests to play at ten
pins during her stay at Lucerne. But the
Swiss landlords refused to do so, saying they
were free republicans, and whosoever dis
liked their customs had betterstay away from
their country.

relation to the accounts and signs of whole-
Hiilp liauor dealers, lias been received.
^toreply.Ihaveto aaythat the books pre
scribed in section 45, act July 20, 1856, must
be kept by all liqnor dealers who come withm
the definition of wholesale liquor dealers.
They will not, however, be required to enter
in detail any sale of spirits of less quantity
than is required by section 57 of said act to
be stamped; that is to say, “packages of
more than five gallons.” Sales .. of smaller
quantities and amounts may be elected each
day in the aggregate. , .
To your question, referring to wholesale
liquor dealers’ signs, required by section 18
of said act, I can only say that the require

there appears to he no way of escape for any
liquor dealer who has placed himself withm

and life, whicn has already, in some instances, been
enacted in tun Department. Re urges abstinence
from all inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions; discountenancing the keeping open of
liquor shops on days of political meetings and of elec
tion ; the abstaining from, carrying arms, and assert
ing the individual right of construing laws by force of
arms. No just cause is ever advanced by resort to
violence. Let there he charity and forbearance among
political opponents, whatever may be the result; let
each good citizen determine that all who, under the
law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it un
disturbed. If there are disputed points of law, let
them be referred to the Courts, and let not mobs or
political cluos, or other irresponsible bodies, copsfrue
and undertaKo to execute tho law. This appeal is
made in the earnest hope that tho Major General Com
manding can reiy on the good senso and correct judg
ment of the mass of the people, and that ho will
not bo compelled to resort to tho exercise of the
power with which ho is entrusted, and which ho
will most reiuctlantly employ. But ho thinks it his
duty to make known, that so far as the powor under
his command will admit, ho will not permit tho peace
to ho btfofcep, and that he will not be restrained in tho
.conscientious discharge of his duty by technicalities
.of laws made when .tho anomalous condition
of affairs were neither anticipated or proyjdpd for.”
