In accordance with the proclama'ion of
Oov. Smith, wo shall observe Thursday
(to-morrow) as a day of Thanksgiving
and Prayer. No paper will consequently
be issued from this office on Friday
morning.
We hope that the day will be observed
by all our citizens. We have much to be
thankfnl for, notwithstanding the “hard-
times' of which we complain. We have
had a year of general health—of freedom
from pestilence and from the disasters to
the crups that sometimes befall us. The
year has Also been ono of progress at the
South, which section has unquestionably
raised more provisions than nsnal of late
years and taken a decided step towards
self-suppoiting industries. These, to
gether with the brightening political pros
pects mentioned by the Governor, consti
tute a year of blessings and mercies for
which we should bo duly thankfnl. Let
not oar people haughtily arrogato to
themselves too much of the credit for
those good tilings, but make due acknowl
edgement of indebtedness to a Power with
out whoso smiles And assistance all the
labors of man would be of little avail.
Onr Xamanotb Kdltlwa.
We to-day publish the mammoth edition
of the Sunday Enquirer, about which we
have spoken for come time. We feel no
little pride in this, the greatest newspaper
enterprise ever shown in onr Htatc, and
we must thank tho true business inen of
Columbus for giving us their patronago,
and showiug their appreciation of our ef
forts. Our aim has boon by untiring work
to build np a good Journal, whose influ
ence should not be local, and which would
be to the outside world anovidencoof onr
city’s prosperity. Wo think, without laying
ourselves open to tho charge of excessive
vanity, that wo have snccceeded in eigh
teen months in making a good paper and
placing it liuforo more re aders than any
journal issued from this section has ever
had. All wo ask now is that our effort*
shall be appreciated—wo moan of course
by tho livo men—on whom the future of
this country depends—and not on the
drones who ignoro advertising and never
road n paper that they do not borrow.
Wo started out to win, to . build np the
biggont paper in tho South, and if we fail
it will be (after our last cunt of capital and
credit is exhausted, and our energies
wearied by tho waut of appreciation of
tho pooplo amongst whom we havo cimt
our lot.
Col. Billy Wilson.—The last Now
York papers report tho death, on Friday
last, of Col. William Wilson, in their city.
Our readers will remember Col. Billy and
the men whom ho commanded, constitut
ing tho Bixth Now York VoluuteorH, aud
colled “Zouaves." They were conspicu
ously ctagugod st L'cusuuola and at Fort
Fiekens. The New York JleraUl says
that Col. Wilson “rando a good reoord for
hiiuself" during a portion of tho war; and
iuasintioh us he is deed now, aud “the
cruel war is over,” (or ought to bo), it
would bo unprofitable to discuss his mer
its or that of his regiment now.
Tins is tho way in which Hon Butler,
iu nil interview with a reporter of the
Now York Herald, coutrndictod sumo 1st©
reports concerning himself: “Not a word
of truth is in it, Rir. As I told you be
fore, I Khali have something to say on
suoh matters, but 1 shall not bo heard
from except from my sout in tho hulls of
Congress. 1 shall write no letter and
will not bo Interviewed on tho subject.
As I havo already intimated, and you can
publish it in the Herald, 1 shall not write
any letter, neither shall I bo a candidate
for Congress or for Governor of Massa
chusetts. Neither mu 1 going to Europe
or to Kuhnm, and neither am I going to
have any thing to do with tlio starting of
a now party.”

Wa take from the New York Bulletin
of Thursday tho following sensible aud
just views concerning the impaired orodit
of tho South : “The recent oloctious, in
so far as they assure tho Bout hern States
fair play, cannot fail to have a good in-
tlmmco ; aud if tho people of thoso States
which havo been loaded with debt by uu-
prinoiplod adventurers will meet their
creditors in a fair spirit, there is no rea
son vAv Southern State credit should uot
recover sll it Iian lost since tho wur. It
is true that uiuny of tho securities issued
did not bring valuo received to the States ;
but they havo drifted into tho huuds of
holders iu good faith, many of them for
eigners. These holders did uot pay
uuything lilco face value for the boud*,
and tho proposition to exchange thc-m
bonds, say two or three for ono uew boud,
on which interest would bo prompTy
paid, should be acceptable. In any evout,
it would show good intentions ou the
part of tho Btntos making the proposals,
aud would help tho credit of ovary ou© iu
tho Stale. To umko such of the South
ern State s as have been under the control
of oar pet- bag gets responsible for the
debts they incurred, and without the
Function of tho tax paying pooplo of those
States, Is something whioh wo believe in
telligent creditors, either here or iu Eu
rope, do uot contemplate.’ It will be no
ticed that the Bulletin's remarks apply
only to suoh StnLw as are or havo boon
Under cupel-bug rule.
WHAT 8PCXVEB WAR1H
COVER UP.
We made allasion, the other day, to a
personal motive which Goorge E. Spencer,
so-called Senator from Alabama, has in
preventing the inauguration of a Demo
cratic government in that State. It la
simply a desire to cover up the chicanery
by whioh he obtained his seat He woe
never legally elected, and if a full and fair
investigation of the matter had been gone
into, he could not have been recognized
as a duly elected Senator. Bat this in
vestigation was precluded by the Senate's
adopting a reeolation to confine the exam
ination to the documentary evidence in
theca *e. This was simply no investiga
tion at all, because no one doubted that
Spencer's “papers'* were made out in due
form and certified everything necessary
to constitute good “credentials." It was
matters and occurrences outside ot the
reoord that would not bear the scrutiny
of the United 8tates Senate. There
were so many auspicious circumstance*)
connected with that Senatorial election
in Alabama as to demand the
most searching investigation of the whole
affair. The Senate no donbt acted, upon
the persuasion of Spencer find his friends,
upon the genersl principle that it could
not go beyond tho certificates of the pre
siding officers of the two House* of the
Legislature aud the credentials of the
Governor of Alabama, to see whether the
Legislature was properly constituted. It
ban, ws think, gone beyond this evidence
in its action touching Pinchbecks elsim
to a seat as Senator of Louisiana. But,
be that as it may, when a succeeding Leg
islature of Alubama presents tho case to
the Senate of the United Htutcs and shows
clearly that tho “credentials" upon which
Spcnoer was allowed the seat recited false-
hoode—that bo was never elected in ac
cordance with the laws governing the
case—this will present the question in a
form opening tho way for investigation
behind the “documentary” evidence. We
have no doubt whatever that tho present
Legislature of Alabama will take that
course, and demand a re-oponiug of the
case. Spencer, too, knows this, and the
consciousness of bis precarious tenure is
what actuates his attempt to make it ap
pear that tho Democruts did not fairly win
their great victory in Alabama.
It is well known that when tho Legis
lature of Alabama assembled, two years
ago, tho members of eauh political party
organized separately — the Democrats
meeting in the capital and the ltudioals
in the court-house. There was a close
division of parties iu oach House, and
there wore several contests for seats in
each. The Democrats had in each branch
a majority holding regular certificates.
Tho Radicals made up a majority in the
llouso of Representatives by admitting
tho claimant* from Barbour abd Marengo
(who wero afterwards given seats under
tbo Attorney General's “compromise”);
but they had no majority of ovon claim
ing members in tho Senate, either before
or after tho two parties wore consolidated.
To make up a majority iu tho Souate,
aud thou go through tho forms of elect
ing Spencer United States Senator, they
admitted men who never oven presented
a claim to membership when tho two par
ties met together ! The Benuto, therefore,
had no quorum, aud Sponcor was
uot legally elected. The Democrats, iu
finally consenting to the Attorney Gener
al’s compromise,did so iu tho confident as
surance that the Senator was to be elected
after the consolidation, but tho Radical
House would not consent to this. Spen
cer pressed his case boforotbe Senate,and
thut body by resolution first shut out tho
testimony that would havo established the
illegality of his election, and then admit
ted him.
There will bo no difficulty whatever in
proving beyond a doubt that tho Senate
hud not a quorum of legal members whoa
the forms of electiug Speuoor were gone
through. We shall be greatly liisHppoiut-
ed if at least tiro Republican Senator* do
not give jtositive testimony to this effect.
The cause of truth aud right demands that
tho new Legislature should disown Spen
cer as a Souator of Alabama, present tho
fucts of the oaso to the Unitod States
Senate, declare the position vacant, aud
prooeed to elect another Sonator. Tho
peoplo of the Htato demand it. The
Radical party, much as it may wish to
avoid the loss of a Senator, sees tho ne-
©easily for “unloading," aud it has no Jo
nah moro daugorous to keep on board
than Spencer.

The 1
Ilghtlcst Controversy tho
World Ever haw.
[Boston Post's London Special, Nov. 5.]
Advices received to night from Rome
statu that the Pope has declared that lie
will never receive an embassador of Great
Britain at the court of Italy. Tho Vatican
hao isHued an order convoking an interna
tional Catholic Congress at London. The
order declares that it is uecossary that, on
the eve of a religious crisis, the world
should have a demonstration of Catholic
doctrine through afreepress. Archbishop
Manning, in delivering the opening ad-
droHH at the Drew College of London, to
day, said thut, within the lost twenty-four
hours, it had been intimated to him that
the Calholic world was threatened with a
controversy ou the whole decrees of the
Vatican, and the Council of Catholics is
ou the eve of the mightiest controversy
tho world ever saw.
A Late Packing Henson.
New York Bulletin, Nov. 12.
The packing season has not fairly opeu-
od as yet at any Western poiut, with the
exception of Homo in northern latitudes,
and others where lco packing is resorted
to. Tho mild weather of au unusually
long “Indian Hummer" has been the cause
of the delay, and has also operated against
the distribution of the small supply of
moats which have been out. In the mean
while the housou has favored au economi
cal fattening of tho hogs. The Western
markets havo beeu poorly supplied with
hogs, aud packers have bought »pnringly
at prices whioh have gradually advanced,
as the low stocks of meats and lard has
guaranteed a brisk sale to consumers of
the products of early cutting. Tho total
slaughter to date is about half us largo as
at this date in the last two seasons. Tho
average range of prices, for packing
weights at Wontern points since the open
ing, iu ti.25a6.75, about 75 per cent, high
er than a year ago. Hogs have so far
averaged light iu woight, but condition
has been good.
United Mate* Hnpreiue Court.
Washington, November 17.—Supremo
THE MYNOII Oft' GEORGIA-
Wo extract from the roports of pro-
ooediugs published iu the Savanuah pa
pers, the following action of this body on
Saturday :
Dr. Wills presented tho present condi
tion of the Theological Seminary at Co
lumbia, 0.8., and suggested a mode for
increasing tho funds for the support and
bouefit of that institution by usseKoments
to he laid upon the several presbyteries
aud churches. The report was adopted.
The following trustees of Oglethorpe
University were elected;
Rev. D. Fraser, Hon. M. A. Candler,
W. A. Moore, Esq., Rev. H. Quigg, Rev.
J. Stacy, Judge J. J. Gresham, llou. John
B. Gordon, ltev. J. Little, Rov. C. W.
Lane, S. D. McComiell, Esq., Hon. Clif
ford Anderson, oud W. P. Inman, E*q.
The Committee ou tho Stato of Reli
gion, through Rov. H E. Axson, of Rome,
gave a very favorable and encouraging re
view of the churches and tho denomina
tion, based upou tho Htatisticnl reports
furnished by the several presbyteries.
Rov. Mr. Little, from tho Coiumitteo
ou Suateutatiou or Domestic Missions,
r«q>orted a decline iu the contributions of
thj churohes,aud urged renewed diligeuco
and activity in this field.
Rev. John Jones submitted an interest
ing repot upon the religious instruction
of colored candidates for the ministry,
aud a re olution approving tbo plan rec
ommended bv the lost general assembly
respecting tne organization of colored
churches, and requesting the earnest per
form aiioe by the presbyteries aud tho
churches of the duties imposed iu this
plau, was offered by Prof. Woodrow, aud
adopted.
Court oases No. 128—Titus vs. tho United
Si ate*—error to the Circuit Court for the
Southern District of Georgia. In this
ease Titus seeks a reversal of a judgment
of tho confiscation of Confederate State
lands, because it excluded him sharing os
informer in the proceed* of the land sold
under the judgment. • Titus' name did not
appear in tho proceedings, nnd he now
a«ks for nn amendment making him a par
ty, ou the ground that he tiled tho infer*
matiou which was the basis of the pro
ceedings in confiscation. Tho Govern
ment claims that Titus did uot file a for
mal paper giving the facts in detail, aud
that fur that reason he should bo excluded
from participation. It was also averred
that the titles to tho land
was iu the United States as captors inde
pendently of tho proceedings in confisca
tion, aud that therefore the cluimaut could
have no title. The judgment in tho Dis
trict Court rocognized tho claim of the
informer,but the Circuit Court excluded it
for tho rcasous stated. It is here moisted
that as the proceedings wore instituted
upou the information given by Titus, his
claim ih good, notwithstanding the want
of n formal statement of the facts within
his kuowledge iu detail, and it is urgued
that then, if the government did huve a
valid title as captor, it was barred by the
title it chose to stand upou, which was
the one based upon the proceedings in
confiscation. The case is still under argu
ment. John A. Wills iN counsel for the
cluimaut, and the Attorney General nnd
Solicitor General aro for the Govern
ment.
