I THE DAILY TIMES.
MONDAY, OCT OBER 4.
The Proof.
Ti.e Enquirer* in response to a caJi from us to
produce the proof of Mr. Tucker’s inelligibility to
the |fiiceof Judge of the Superior Court, quotes
a part of Section It, Article 1. o( the Constitution
of the State ol Georgia, which reads as to!lows :
Art. I , Sec. I'.— * * * “Nor shall
any Senator or Representative be elected to any
office or appointment by the Legislature, having
any emoluments or compensation annexed thereto,
during the term for which ha shall have been
elected, with the above exceDtious (Justices of In
ferior Courts, Justices of the Peace, and officers of
the militia,) unless he shall decline accepting his
scat, by notice to the Executive, within twenty
daj s alter he shall have been elected; nor shall
any member, after having taken his seat, be eligi*
ble to any of the aforesaid offices or appoint’
ments during the time for which he shall have
‘ been elected.”
Perhaps, it should be premised that Mr. 1 ucker
jB, at present, a Senator to the Legislature, and that
hia term,aseuch, will expire on the first Monday
in October next. We will also remark that, if
elected, his judicial term will not commence until
I the former shall have expired. This we mention
1 to obviate the conclusion which might be drawn
[1 from the position we have assumed, and which
I might seem to place us in conflict with See. 1>
I Art. 11, in the Constitution.
We are unable to seejiow an unprejudiced mind
I can consider the above extract from the Constilu-
I lion, without admitting that it can have no appli-
I cation to the case of Mr. Tucker. The whole,
9 paragraph, or section i3 one sentence. The first
9 portion of it imposes a restriction on the power of
I the Legislature to elect a member of its own body
I to any office of emolument, in totidem verbis ;
I the latter poriion, parts of which have been itali
cised by our cotemporary, makes express refer
ence to tho same offices and appointments, and
mug, by every principle ol hermeneutics, refer to
the earn Qinode of election. What, for instance,
could ‘‘ the aforesaid offices or appointments” be
I supposed to mean, but those, the incumbants of
which were to b 8 elected by the Legislature ? No
other rational interpretation can be placed upon
the language. If any support is needed for this
position, it is furnished in the fact that, by the Con
stitution, of which the abovj section is a part, the
| election of Judges of the Superior Courts was
made by tho Legislature ; and siucs the framers
of that instrument cannot be presumed to have
anticipated a change in this regard, we are bound
to infer that they acted in the premises with ref
erence, exclusively, to that form of election. So
much for the letter ol tho Cons'itution.
With respect to the reason of’ the restriction in
the clause wo have quoted above, little need be
said. That it applies to elections by the Legisla
ture, and not to elections by the people is obvious.
The framers of the Constitution, foreseeing the
danger of intrigue and corruption which would be
incurred by allowing the Legislature to choose
one of its own members to fill an office of emolu
ment, very wisely determined to guard against it.
It wou'd not be trespassing too far upon the region
of romance to suppose it possible, that in the ab
sence of this provision, a Legislator might be found
whose conduct could be swayed by the promise of
support for office. Indeed it would necessarily
result in converting our Legislative halls into
electioneering chambers. Men would ha candi
dates for the Legislature in the hopo of further
promotion by that body, and, if elected, instead of
serving their constituents and the State, would de
vote their talents and energies to their own service.
To forestall this evil the 2d section of the Ist ar
ticle was incorporated in the Constitution* The
argument cannot be mad* to apply to elections by
tho prople, and hence we infer, both from the
letter and spirit of the instrument, that it was never
intended to be so construed.
To-day and To-morrow-
The Savannah Rebuuican of September 29th
says:
“The Administration—we say it cherriuliy,
though an opponent to the party that brought it
into power— has stood firmly by the South and
adhered, with hardly a solitary deviation, to the
policy claimed as essential to our security.”
Then the policy of tho Gabinot has been a wise
one—the South has had wise counsellors there —
they have “adhered with hardly a solitary devia
tion” to our interests—they have ‘‘stood firmly by
the South” and their selection should be a matter
of congratulation with the Republican. Again
the Republican of October Ist, —two days after
tho above compliment is paid tho Cabinet, —says ;
He (Howell Cobb) was a fast nag, but has, un
fortunately, we fear let down by getting into the
wrong stable. Buchanan’s cabinet is a mangy
affair, and if all the tenants do not come out unfit
for the turf, wo shall be willing to surrender our
pretensions to prophecy.
Railroad Meeting in Pickens Cos.
There was a large and enthusiastic Railroad
meeting in Jasper, Pickens county on the 14th of
Sept. The following counties were represented
by delegates—Cobb, Forsyth, Lumpkin, Pickens
and Gilmer. It was the sense of the meeting that
a Railroad from Marietta, Cobb county, through
Cherokee to Duck Town, would be of “general
interest to the State in developing the resources
of State aid was asked.
It will be a bad policy for the State to embark
in Railroad schemes.
The Richmond Duel.—lt is apprehended, we
learn, that the Hon. Sherrard Clemens, M. C„
who was severely wounded in the late duel with
O. Jennings Wise, cue of the Associate Editors
of the Ricnmond Enquirer, is not likely to recov’
er. At the fourth fire, it will be recollected, Mr.
Clemeus was wounded in the hip joint, and there
are_evidences of mortification having taken place.
The Panama Railroad to Australia.—We
learn that, among the passengers by the Niagara
was Edward Cunard, esq., one of the directors of
the Pauama Railroad Company. Ho reports the
negotiations with the English Government rela
tive to the despatch ol the Australian mails via
Panama, is nearly completed, and no doubt
whatever is entertained that a fair trial of the
new route will throw all the extensive traffic of
that region over the Panama Road as it has
been already demonstrated by Lieut. Porter to be
the shortest route by several days. It i 3 expected
that the steam service wil be performed by the
extra steamers of the Cunard line; aud this fact
alone is a sufficient guarantee of tho manner in
which it will be done.
A woman named Scheliiug, at Groveport,
1 rankiin county, Ohio, [committed suicide and
murder, on the 22d, by ..throwing lour children
(one boy and three girls, the oldest 12 years of
age and the youngest 2,) and herself into a well,
thirty five feet deep,and drowning them all—
She is supposed to have been insane through
jealously.
Mr. James Gardner.
This distinguished Georgian recently made a
speech to the Democracy of Bunker Hill, in or
near Boston Mass, which we should be glad to
place before our readers Which \io are denied
this pleasure by its length, we will express our
gratification at the fact that Mr- Gardner has de
parted from the rather beaten track of Southern Or
ators and thought it proper to declare, from a ros
ttum in freesoil Massachusetts, such sentiments as
would be greeted with applause by a Southern
audience. The speech is Southern,constitutional,
patriotic, and we commend him lor his manliness
and independence. ♦
Hon Robert Toombs.
This gentleman made a speech in Washington,
Wilkes County, on 33th Sept, at a Rail Road
meeting. The object of the meeting was to effect
an extension of the Rad Road from Wash
through Elbert county to Hartwell in Hart couuty,
Appropriate committees were appointed.
Emerson Foote, Esq.
We regret to learn the death of Emerson Foote
Esn., superintendent of tho Central railroad, which
took place Thursday night, Sept 3Jth, ol yellow
fever, at Savannah. He was long and favorably
known to the people of Georgia as a man of the
strictest integrity and probity,and regarded by all
who knew him as the very soul of honor.
English Cotton Manufacturers.
The London correspondent of the Liverpool
Mercury, writing on the afternoon of the 14th of
September, says:
“Tha cotton manufacture in England is stated,
on good authority, to be in a Letter state than it
has beon.at any timo, since the year 1846. On
-somo ofthe recent shipments of twist, the profit is
said to be two pence per pound.”
Tha reports from tho Liverpool Exchange, on
the altornoon of the 14th of September, were fa
vorable to the cotton trade. The report says:—
“The Manchester market has again advanced to
day as much as onodburth to a half pence in yarns
and three pence per piece in cloth ; and even at
these prices, spinners are not very willing to enter
into large contracts—the very prospect of a fur
ther rise thus tending to check the extent of busi
ness, which, however, continues very extensive,
particularly lor India and China.”
The Period of Life Subject to Insanity.
The London Lancet says that to determine the
.period ofli‘e which furnishes the greatest number
of insane persons, it is sufficient to bring together
the records, made up under different circumstan
ces. One of these, made at the Bicetre, France
where poor men only are received ; another at tho
Saltpetriere, a hospital for poor women ; the 3rd,
an establishment devoted to the wealthy, have
been examined, and it appears that the age which
furnishes tho greatest number of insane is, for men
that from thirty to forty years, while for women
it is that from fifiy to sixty years. The ages
which furnish the least, for both sexes, are child
hood, youth, and advanced age. Among women
insanity generally appears earlier than among
men, indeed, from twenty to thirty years of age.
The rich are more subject to insanity, in propor
tion, than the poor. _

The Great Calamity.
The universal grief and sympathy excited
by that most tragical of tragedies, the loss of
the Austria and the destruction of over five
hundred human beings by drowning, suffo
cation and fire, should net prevent a rigid
inquiry into the conduct of those, living or
dead, who were in any degree responsible
for the great calamity. Here is a well ap
pointed steamship, with an iron hull, and
divided into water-tightcompartments, un
usaliy well provided against perils by fire
and by water, and, withal, carrying boats
enough to save every soul on board, allow
ed to burn to the water’s edge, apparently
without a single well considered and well
directed effort either to smother the flames,
or to provide for the safety of the passen
gers. The fire did not originate, as some
times happens, in a concealed and inacces
sible poition of the vessel, but on the deck
of the steerage, a point exposed to the con
stant supervision of fhe officers and open
to the immediate and adequate application
of water. Moreover, as the fire was caused
by a heated chain, which had been careless
ly dropped, itseeins as if the small part of
the deck in flames could have been instant
ly and effectually deluged.
Under these circumstances and with the
additional fact in their favor, that the fire
broke out in the daytime, so that darkness
was not added to the horrors of the scene
it seems that even if the flames could not
have been smothered, the eight life boats
might have been safely lowered, and the
passengers taken on board in an orderly
and decent manner. Several of the boats
were launched in such a lubberly fashion,
that they were immediately swamped or
cut in pieces by the screw; and all effort to
escape by the other boats seems then to
have been abandoned. As to the conduct
of the officers, it is perhaps not just to
condemn individuals until the evidence is
more thoroughly sifted; but it appears that
the helmsman deserted his post, leaving the
head of the ship to the wind; while Mr.
Brewis, apparently an observant witness,
asserts that he did not see an officer dur
ing the fire, and that the captain was heard
to exclaim, as he rushed distractedly about
“We are all lost!” a spectacle not calcula
ted to excite heroism either among his offi
cers, the crew or the passengers. It seems
also, that the first, second, and third offi
cers. besides two petty officers and the
steward, managed to save themselves; and
that the eaptain and fourth officer, were
lost in the water while endeavoring to clear
away a boat. We repeat, however, it is
not proper to condemn individuals until
further information is obtained; but it
is not untrue or unfair to .say of the offi
cers generally, that they seem to have been
unfit for such a crisis, that they lost their
presence of mind, and that the destruction
of life was largely increased by their lack
of discipline, and the absence of some ener
getic heroic spirit, compent to quell the
confusion and panic which prevailed from
the first. —Journal of Cojnmerce.

The Steamship Florida.
The New York Journal of Commerce of
Tuesday last, says: “The steamship Flori
da left New York on Tuesday, the 21st
inst., for Savannah, On Wednesday after
noon, when about forty miles North of
Hattera-, she met with an accident to her
machinery, which disabled her. On Thurs
day morning she fell in with the brig Mary
E Milliken, from Philadelphia for Cardenas,
to which vessel a part of the passengers
were transferred, in the steamer’s boats,
with the understanding that they were to
be landed at Tybee next day. While re
turning under canvass, she was met by
the steamer Augusta, hence for Savannah,
who took her in tow, and arrived here late
on Sunday night.
“The steamship Star of the South arriv
ed here yesterday with the fifty-three pas
sengers that had gone on board the brig
Mary E. Mil liken. The steamer Augusta
left in the afternoon with ail the Florida’s
passengers, including those brought by the
Star ofthe South.”
Judge J. B. Bishop and family, who were
on board the Florida at the time of the
accident, reached tiieir residence in this city
on yesterday afternoon. They came through
by land from New York. The Judge
states that the sea was very rough at the
time of the accident, and the only appre
hension on board the Florida was, that she
might drift on to Cape Ilatteras. By the
aid of rockets aud cannon they attracted
the attention of the Augusta, and the noble
commander ol that vessel soon came along
side and proffered every assistance in his
power to extend. Large hawsers were
attached to the Florida, and the Augusta
towed her safely to New York on Sunday
night last.
In the afternoon of Monday, the passen
gers who had sought safety on the Mary E
Milliken were snluiy conveyed to New York
in the Star of he South.
We unde 1 stand that nearly all the pas
sengers immediately registered their names
in the steamship Augusta for Savannah.

with Derringer pistols, both being wounded
at each fire. They then, by agreement,

Dr. Nagle was so badly wounded that his

Paraguay and the British Minister.—
According to a letter in the New York Ex
press, dated Buenos Ayres, July 30, a most
ridiculous quarrel has arisen between the (
British Minister near the Argentine Repub
lic, and President Lopez, cheif magistrate
of Paraguay. The latter received the for
mer in robes of State, but with his head
covered. The Minister took umbrage and
made formal complaint to the Paraguayan
Secretary of State, who briefly replied that
the Queen of England so received Foreign
Ministers. The irate Minister demanded
his passports ; received them, and went
away in a merchant steamer, called the
Little Polly. In the night the Paraguayan
war steamer Taeauri ran into the charm
ing Little Polly, and the yet excited Minis
ter claims that it was done on purpose, and
as an additional insult, though it was
palpable that those on board the Taeauri
could have no knowledge of the Minister
being on board the Little Polly. The sto
ry is ridiculous : but makes an excitement

Great Britain and Nicaragua.
The New York Times professes to have
advices from Washington, that Sir William
Gore Ousley, on the part of Great Bri'ain,
has negotiated with Senors Molina and Je
rez, on the part ol Nicaragua, a “Treaty
of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation,”
which has already been approved by the
British Government, and is certain to be
ratified by that of Nicaragua. Its chief
object is to prevent privileges being grant
ed to the people of any country that are not
equally granted to British subjects. In mat
ters of trade especially, the Englishman is
placed by Nicaragua on a par with the citi
zens of the most favored nation.
In article 20, the right of transit be
tween the two oceans, on any route that
may be hereafter constructed in Nicaragua
Territory, is fully conceded to Great Britain
and it is distinctly stipulated that no for*
igners will be permitted to enjoy privileges
from which British subjects are excluded.
The British Government accords a con
ditional protection to the inter-oceanic route,
guarantees its neutrality, and promises its
influence to induce other nations to do the
same. The most important stipulation,
however, is that which, in the event of
Nicaragua failing to protect the persons and
property of passengers traversing the Isth
mus, gives to Great Britain the right of
employing force for such a purpose.
Asa set off to tho above, the New York
Express has the best personal authority for
saying the Nicaragua minister in this coun
try has neither signed nor negotiated any
such treaty with Grent Britain.
The Times must have known that Senor
Jerez arrived in July, when this treaty pur
ports to have been negotiated in June.
The acquaintance of Sir Gore Ousley

HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Many kinds of Tonic are advertised that we
are assured will strengthen the hair and prevent
its falling out, but none that we have seen used
does all that it promises, save that of Professor
O J Wood’s. This we know is good from hav
ing tried it, and witnessed in several cases its truly
beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind enough
to send us a couple of bottles, aud after finding
that it prevented our hair from falling out, we
presented a bottle to a friend who had been bald
for at least thirty years; it has restored Ins hair
entirely, and it is now as thick and glossy as when
he was twenty five. This we say in all sincerity
and we shall be glad to have our friends try it for
themselves, as we believe it is just what it profess
es to be For real worth, Wood’s flair Restora
tive is undoubtedly the best preparation now in
use for restoring hair on bald heads, changing gray
hair on bald h;-ads, changing gray hairs to Itheir
original color, and for acosmet cor cure for pim
ples, it is fast taking the place of other prepara
lions. No toilet no/-a days is complete with
out it.
If any one should ask us what in our opinion,
arrived at by an impartial test, was the best and
most honest compound remedy lor preserving and
beautifying the hair,and restoring gray hairs to
its original color, and the locks to the bald headed
we should, without hesitation say, Professor O. J.
Wood’s Hair Restorative. See advertisement in
