THE DAILY TIMES.
OBTOBER 7.
yy Onr readers will not forget that we re*
ceive telegraphic dispatches every day at an im
mense expense, and that they will always be
loupd in another column. Whatever ot interest
transpires throughout the United States, is pub
lished in this Journal simultaneously with the pub
lication in New York.
The Enquirer’s Reply-
We reciprocate the compliment of inge
nuity paid us by the Enquirer, but cannot perceive
what bearing our profession can have upon tie
question on which we are at issue. An attempt
in this way to enlist prejudice against the argu
ments of an opponent, is a fashionable and approv
ed resource of the advocate of a weak position.
Such an object, however, we do not charge upon
our cotemporary. We are invited to consider
the following hypothetical propositions :
“if the Constitution originally forbade the mem
bers of the Legislature from electing one of their
own number a Judge, (as the Times admits it did)
could those members by their own act, without
an amendment of the Constitution, transfer to an
other tribunal the power to elect one of themselves
to the Bench? ft they were authorized by the
Constitution to elect the Judges, but forbidden by it
to choose one of themselves, could they evade this
Constitutional restraint by passing a law authoriz
ing the Governor to make the appointment and
empowering him to choose one of themselves ? and
if they could not thus make a “cat’s paw’ ot tne
Governor, could they of the people ?”
The Enquirer says, “were we arguing this
question as a lawyer, we might rest the case upon
this rejoinder to our neighbor’s plea.” T his takes
all the edge from the compliment. If it had said
‘were we arguing this question as a sophist,” it
would have been more intelligible, and would
have saved the profession a very ungenerous thrust.
We do not understand how it escaped the sagacity
of our neighbor that each of the above proposi
tions involves ap> titio principii. In order to
answer the first question in the negative—the
position of the Enquirer—it is necessary to assume
that the disqualification of a Senator or Rep
resentative to bo elected to any office of emolu
ment, in Art. I, Sec. II of the Constitution, \s gen
eral, and not special, or having reference to the
power of appointment by the Legislature. This
js the question in controversy between us, and this
he cavalierly takes for granted. It is obvious that,
unless the restriction be taken in that sense, there
can be no difficulty in maintaining the affirmative
side of the question propounded by our neighbor
“to candid, reasoning men.”
The prohibitions in the Constitution are the
only limitation upon the power of the Legislature;
for Sec. 22 Art. I, declares that “The General As
sembly shall have power to make all laws and
ordinances which they shall deem necessary and
proper for the good of the State, which shall not
be repugnant to this Constitution.” If, thererore,
’ it is not uucomtitutioml, “the Legislatum can,
by its own act, without an amendment of the
Constitution, transfer to another tribunal,the pow
er, and elect one of its own members to the Bench.’
So much for the argument of our neighbor, “as a
lawyer.” The remainder of his article is devoted
to the consideration of the ‘‘manifest meaning”
of the Constitution. We will not go over the
ground again, and refer to our previous article for
a reply thereto. We are indebted to him for
Webster’s meaning of the word “eligible,” but he
within the gilt of the Legislature* Such, we have
contended and still insist, is the natural and proper
construction of the sentence.
P. S.—Since writing the above, we have read
an article in the Enquirer of yesterday, over the
signature of “Smith,” commenting on our position-
The views of the writer, we think, are fully met
by the considerations we have already advanced.
He gives us a position we have never assumed,
when he says we have discovered a w r ay by which
“one may be a member of the Legislature and at
the same time Judge of the Superior Courts of the
State of Georgia. We expressly guarded our
selves against this inference in our last article.
Corrections.
Many inaccurate statements, says the Union,
are going the rounds of the papers in relation to
astronomical matters which show, not only the
ignorance of the writers, but the carelessness of the
publishers who insert them without due consider
ation. In numerous papers we have observed
statements that the brilliant comet now visible in
the Northwest (known as Donati’s) is the same
which appeared in 1264 and again in 1556. This
is not correct, as there is a wide dissimilarity be
tween their paths. The comet of 1556, known
among astronomers as Charles V’s, is supposed to
be identical with Tuttle’s’ third comet of 1858,
which can now be seen only with the assistance
of a telescope. Its period was about 292 years,
but owing to the retardations in its motion, caused
by the attraction of the larger planets, it is now
ten years behind its time. When the comet which
is now so conspicuous was first discovered, its or
bit was found to be so near that of the first comet
of 1827 that the two bodies were surmised to be
identical, and to return every thirty-one years.—
This supposition, however, does not seem destined
to be confirmed. The accurato calculations of its
elements, which have been published, combine to
render it almost certain that several thousand years
must£elaps6 before it again visits our system.”
We also observe a paragragh in some of the pa
pers to the effect that a few evenings since “the
three planets, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, appeared
in range on the western sky.” This is somewhat
incredible, since while Mars and Venus are in the
Southwest shortly after sunset, Jupiter is then be
low the horizon, and does not rise until about ten
o’clock, alter which it may be seen in the North
east. Venus is now in Scorpio, Mars is just en
tering Capricorn, and Jupiter is in Gemini.
The American Party—lts Record.
We do not intend further to discuss the question
ofhhe fair record of the -4mericau # party with the
Macon Journal and Messenger. We thought its
boast about the “proud position” of its party be
fore the country simply a figure of speech of the
editor and are unwilling now to disturb his happy
frame of mind by the statement of facts familiar to
every school-boy. The name of Hon. Andrew J.
Miller is cited with others as leaders of the Amer
ican organization. This may be, notwithstand
ing his reluctance to become a member. If our
neighbor will turn to the Journal of the State
Senate, ne will find the name” of
Andrew J. Miller recorded in favor of the resolu
tion, which says| “opposition to the principles o*
the Kansas bill is hostility to the constitutional
right, of the South.” As he w, 3 . leader, we do
not presume were he living, he would now de
nounce thelbtll as a “aham” or"larce.” Thi how
•ver, has been the case with the other Americans
who voted with him and it is pronounced “con*
sistency.” We are satisfied—we will not repeat
our argument—or make any illusion to the 12th
section or other platforms made by the American
The Washington Monument.
During the three years,says the Washington Unior,
that the know-nothings had the control of this
work, which they obtained in such a disgraceful
manner as to excite the indignation of the whole
country, the monument was raised four feet! And
this was only done by using stones which had
been presented previous to their usurpation, and by
usmg marble which had been rejected by the old
board as imperfect. At length, in very shame,
they abandoned an undertaking which it was evi
dent they had no power to carry on, and there is
good reason to believe that in more competent
and trusworthy hands that structure will attain the
proud elevation that was originally designed.—
The attempt to pervert a great national work to
mere party ends has resulted as all such attempts
should result, in mortification and disgrace. In
the hands of the new board of managers the pub
lic may feel confident that the interests of the
Monument will be sedulously attended to, and
that the free-will offerings of a patriotic people
will be applied in accordance with the wishes of
the donors.
Hon. W* L* Yancey.
The Richmond Enquirer, says:
Unity, harmony and concert of action are the
only means of obtaining that justice and right we
all so much desire , and this great end can never
be gained by assaulting, suspecting and decrying
such men as William J.. Yancey for great zeal in
behalf of Southern rights. Virginia may not
at present be prepared to go as far as Mr. Yan
cey and his friends, but she is unwilling to see
Southern men hunted down for any efforts promp
ted by an ardent devotion to her cause and the
cause ofher sister Southern States.
We regret to learn from our cerrespondent that
“Col. Yancey is at present at the Warm Springs,
in Georgia, suffering from a severe attack of neu
ralgia.” __ _
More About the Cable.
(3|The Electricians, who have -been engaged day
and night in examining the cause of the cessation
ol signals through the submarine telegraph, have
come to the conclusion that the defect is a loss
of insulation about 270 miles (along the cable)
from Valentia. This, calculating the amount of
slack cable paid out during the later days of the
submerging operations, would place the fault 220
statute miles from shore, or somewhere upon the
mountain range .which divides the depths of the
Atlantic from the comparatively shallow water
leading from the Irish coast-
Hon. A. H. Colquitt.
We copy the following from the Atlanta Daily
Intelligencer-’ “We are glad to see that this
gentleman has been nominated by the Democrat**
ic party ot Baker County, to fill the vacancy,oc
casioned by the cutting off the residence of the
old Senator, Mr. Cumbie, into the new county of
Mitchell. It is gratifying that such a man as Mr
Colquitt, will occupy a seat in the Senate during
the approaching session. Already versed in the
Legislation of Congress, by a membership of
several years in the House of Representatives, he
will be able to bring all the experience acquired
in that field to bear upon the measures suitable
and necessary for the good of the State of Geor

tral and part upon the piano. It is considered a
great and striking novelty.
Mrs. LeVert.
To those of our citizens'who know that
Mrs. LeVert is a native of Augusta. Ga.,
the following tribute will be read with
much pleasure—to those who know her as
a highly accomplished and talented lady,
and devoted and efficient friend to the
cause of Mount Vernon, we feel that they
will be delighted at its perusal. We copy
from the Washington City States:
A Noble Woman.— lt is seldom indeed
that we see a woman who has mixed so
much with the world, and is so well
known in fashionable life, as is the case
with Madame LeVert, who has so good
and noble a heart. Of her efforts towards
the purchase of Mount Vernon, a corres
pondent says:
Of the untiring energy of Madame Le-
Vert too much cannot be said; her zeal
knows no diminution, her activity no re
pose. Her persuasive voice reaches all
classes jmd ages. The Military hear it,
and pay their tribute to the hero who led
their fathers to victory. Her spirit ente.s
where woman’s presence is denied, and in
the sanctum of the Lodge, the Masons
pour out their golden offering to their ven
erated Brother; Firemen bring to her trea
sury testimonials of love and gratitude;
School Children catch |her enthusiasm,
ana send their hearty contributions to
Mount Vernon, while Planters from the
interior turn no deaf ear to her appeals.
To a woman possessing the nobleness
ot soul belonging to Madame Levert, this
beautiful co-operation in her patriotic la
bors must yield a heartfelt gratification
that no eulogy could enhance; and history
will not fail to record that her time and
taients were nobly consecrated to a glorious
cause.
The Society Islands.
Important news reaches us from the So
ciety Islands 4 dated at Riatea and Tahaa,
ou the 9th of June, and at Tahiti on the
12th of July. The governors of the first
named islands—who have the power of
appointing or dethroning the King—had,
it appears, taken the supreme power from
Tamatoa V. son of Queen Pomare, of Ta
hiti, who was elected chief magistrate about
a year ago. The ex-King then decided to
return to the home of his mother, Pomare,
and thus the islands were leit without a ru
ler. In this emergency the governors of
fered Cousul Owen, of the United States,
to surrender the Islands of Tahaa and Ria
tea to our government, and handed him of
ficial letters to that effect for transmission
to Washington. This movement gave
great offence to the representatives of
England and France, who incited a sort of
revolution against the governors. In this
state of affairs the French war brig Hydro
graphe arrived at Raiatea, and her com
mander took Mr. Thomas Croft and Mr.
Jordan, American citizens, into custody,
and conveyed them to Tahiti on account
of their annexation proclivities.
Logical Baggage Master.
The post of Baggage Master on a rail
road train is not an enviable one. There
is often a wide difference between the
company’s regulations and the passenger’s
opinion of what articles, and what amount
of them, properly comes under the detiom
nation of baggage; and this difference of
opinion frequently subjects the unlucky
official of the trunks and band box depart
ment to animated discussions with a cer
tain class ot the public. We heard lately
an ancedote of “George,” the affable B. M.
on Capt. Cobb’s train on the Virginia and
Tennesse road, which is too good to be
lost:
A passenger presented himself at a way
station on the road, with two trunks and a
saddle for which he requested checks. The
baggage master promptly checked the
trunks; but demanded the extra charge of
twenty five cents for the saddle. To this
the passenger demurred, and losing his
temper peremptorily asked —
“Will you check my baggage, sir?’’
“Are you a horse?” quietly inquired
George.
“What do you mean, sir?” exclaimed the
irate traveler.
“You claim to have this saddle checked
as baggage?”
“Certainly—it is baggage,”.positively re
turned the passenger.
“Well,” said the
“by the company’s regulations nothing but
wearing apparel is admitted to be baggage;
and if this saddle is your wearing apparel
of course you must be a horse. Now, sir,
just allow me to strap it on your back, and
it shall go to the end of the’road without
any extra charge whatever.”
The traveler paid his quarter and offered
George his hat.—Bristol News.
John Minor Botts.
There are strong indications that the
Know Nothings will nominate John Minor
Botts of Virginia for the Presidency in 1860
He will run on a Native American, Protec
tive tariff, and Internal Improvement plat
form. Botts favors a National Bank, but
IJIS put ly mm m/. .-- - r _ * 1
policy until after the election.
Of course no one acquainted with the
political field imagines Botts can carry a
majority of the electoral votes, but he is
undoubtedly the most available man for the
Know Nothings, since Crittenden refuses
to be run.— Southern Argus.
The California Congressioai Eleo
tion. —In order that no one may be misled
in regard to the vote lately given in Cali
fornia for McKibben and Stewart for
Congress, which has been paraded in the
Press , we state that the election, so far as
they were concerned, was illegal, the Leg
islature having, by an act at its last ses
sion, changed the time from what it had
been, and postponed it until a later day.
That that body had a legal and constitu
tional right to make the change there can
be no question; and that the regular Democ
racy took this view of the case, is apparent
from the fact that they made no nomina
tions and run no candidates for Congress.
Had they done so, there is no doubt that
their nominees would have received a large
majority of the popular vote, as did their
candidates for Judge and Comptroller. Be
ing law-abiding and law-sustaining citizens,
they chose to postpone their action until
the period fixed by law. We should not be
surprised, however, if McKibben and Stew
art should come into the next Congress,
and claim seats under an election thus clear
ly illegal-nor should we be surpiised either,
if every Black Republican in Congress shall
vote for their admission in order to illus- *
trate the beautiful workings of the “High
er Law” doctrine, as enunciated by Will
iam H. Seward.— Pennsylvanian.
Direct Steam Communication Between
Virginia and France.
We have been favored with the perusal
of a letter from Mr. E. Lacouture, the en
ergetic and enlightened originator of the
proposed line of steamers between Norfolk
and St. Nazaire, in France. Mr. L. is now
in France, but expects to return to Virginia
during the next month. He has strength
ened the company by important additions
and happy combinations—in a word, he
has labored energetically in a work which
he has so long and perseveringly prose
cuted. He writes that france is all ready,
and that it only remains for Virginia to do
her part, so that the enterprise may go into
instant practical operation. He had just
returned from a tour through Bretagne, and
from a visit to the magnificent port of St.
Nazaire, which is to be the port of con
nection with the lines from Norfolk, That
port is anew but wonderful creation, on
which have been brought to bear all the im
provements that science has discovered.—
The railroad encircles the docks with a
girdle of rails, and cargoes of vessels can
be easily discharged into cars which will
directly transport the merchandize to all j
points of Europe. Railroads are finished
even to the frontiers, and are in immediate
connection with all those of the neighbor
ing nations. In the same manner merchan
dize destined for the United States, may be
received at St. Nazaire, which is nearer to
them, by forty eight hours, than any other
port or the British channel.— ‘Richmond

The Hon. E. B. Lytton had addressed an
official communication to Mr. Norris, the
bearer ofa petition from citizens of Canada,
praying her Majesty to let the Prince of
I Wales inaugurate the Crystal Palace at
; Toronto.
The letter, after pointing out that the
proper channel for the petition was through
the Govenor General, says that it was nev
ertheless on account of the eminence of the
parties signing the petition laid before the
Queen, who received it very graciously,
though she was under the necessity of de
clining the request that the Prince of Wales,
or some other member of the Royal family,
should perform the service requested.

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 ued
does all that it promises, save that of Professor
0 J Wood’s. This we know is good from hav
ing tried it, and witnessed in several eases its truly
beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind enough
to send us a couple of bottles, and 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 his hair
entirely, and it i9 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 i3 just what it profess
es to be For real worth, Wood’s Hair Restora
tive is undoubtedly the best preparation now in
use for restoring hair on bald heeds, changing gray
hair on bald hads, changing gray hairs to their
original color, and for acosmet cor cure for pim
ples, it i9 fast taking the place of other prepara
tions. No toi'et now-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 residing 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

HEADACH AND DEBILITY.

“I have found in Boerhave’s Holland Bitters a
remedy for Headache and Debility. My wife has
also used it with the greatest benefit.”
Mr- A. S. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also re

its use for headache.
Take a half a teaspoonful three times a day
an hour before meals. Eat moderately, and then
of wholesome food, and you will find this really
a remedy for Sick and Nervous Headache Weak
ness of any kind, Costiveness and Piles. Being
perfectly simple in composition, it may betaken
