WaanmoTOK dispatches daily reiterate that Senator Ooldthwaite, of , Intends to resign his seat and permit the Legislature now in session to elect his successor. The Montgomery Adeertioer says that Senator Goldthwaite's friends in its eity have no knowledge of any aaoh intention, but that his health is feeble and baa been so for some time. A nw freak of rascality was practiced at Washington, in connection with the of Gen. Sherman's daughter.

The Otorgian also suggests that Phinizy was Mt proceeded against beoause of his in. fiatatlal'famlly connections. Guourr Couht.—We learn l the Recorder that Andrew MuUelioe, , charged with the murder of an other negro, waa fouud guilty of murder hi the second degree, and sentenced to the penitentiary for the term of ten years. The court refused to grant a new trial in this ease, also in the case of Beaborn Walk, ar, sentenced to be hung in March, and exceptions will be taken to the Supreme Court in both oases. Robinson, tried for atcallng a horse or mule, was pronounced insane when he committed tbe act, and Will be sent to the Lunatic Asylum. Tbe aaaaof The State V8. A. B. Eiland, for was not reached. Eiland was nt with his witnesses, ready for trial. Judge Oobb gives rnaoh Katinfactiou aodkaa made a fine impreision upon the bar aad the people. Iks Chicago Tribune'» Washington re porter States (and we find the statement eopted ia tbe Washington Republican) that Judge Poland's committee will re. port to Congress that the Arkansas con ■Utattou of 1668 is still in force, conse quently the late election is invalid; that Brooks baa been telegraphed for to go to Washington and proseut his claims to Congress; and that the whole controversy involving Arkansas politios will bo re> opened by Congress at tbo suggestion of the President. The Radicals intend to go out of power as vindictive towards tho i people as they were ton years I determined that there shall be ’ or regular established govern ment ia the Southern States as long as they can prevent it. Taa Washington Republican has aston ishing informstion from tho South. It is advissd that the negroes have made great progress in educating themselves ; that “thousands of them are now intelligent voters,oapable of selecting for themaelvos the tickets of their party and reading the name of every candidate printed on themalso, that “they have exchanged tbe rods clothing worn by them as slaves for comfortable habiliments, and, in brief, have given evidence of astonishing progress from a condition of besotted ig norance to a condition of comparative comfort.” When we look over into the two ad joining oounties of Alabama—one con taining 12,000 and the other 16,000 ne groes—and find that in making their nominations for county offices the Radical negroes of those counties had to take not only white men, but white Democrats, as their candidates, because they had not •f their own oolor and party a sufficiency of mm of the requisite education and ability to give bonds, we are compell* d to thlak that the Republican'• information ca this subject is as unreliable as its “out rage” ■tori*. 'TU “diirtauo© lends ©n- i to tbe view.” OUB CITY. Yeiterdaj we received a letter from a gentleman in this city, aaking “why we advocate any candidates for municipal offices, as opposed to other candidates, when all the names mentioned are those of high-toned gontleraenK’ “This,” he ■ays, “is a new thing in Columbus journal ism.” We ooncede tbo truth as to the in dividual characters of all men nominated for city and oonnty offices, and wo have always aimed to make the Enquirer an independent paper, and ono that would reflect credit on our oity. As to the past oourse of Columbus journals in this mat ter, we have nothing to say; we follow no model, and in our do»ire for the success of this city, we are influenced by no sor did motive. If tbe poop!© applaud our course in tbe Alabama election, wa cannot see why we should lie debarred from exer cising tbs same interest in this city, where our means are in vested,and where tbe home of ourself aud family is to continuo. We believe tbe hei t way is to be candid and decided, nnd coming to a conclusion as to duty to follow that line of duty out, no matter what the world may think of our conduct. Wo havo no sympathy with the guerilla like method adopted in this city iu municipal elections, and while we desire amicable relations with all, and ro- spect our opponents ns individuals, we eau never give allegiance to a cause or to a friend in bated breath, in obscure cor ners. If me adopt a course we wish it known, ond our regard for a friend no consideration oftpulioy can make us hide. We have been stopped by men who so- cusod us of belonging to a “clique," and this term is boing freely used to array tbe unthinking against what we deem the best interests of tho present and future of our city. We do belong to a “clique,” if that name be forced on us ; but it is a “clique” that desires to build up Columbus by bard, porsistout work. Our “clique" respects the workingmen, black aud while, and would clovate labor by following it. Our ‘clique" considers a debt sacred, and pays its honest debts, with money earned by proper equivalents. We belong to a ‘clique" that opposes the armed bravo, and respects the law by obeying it. Wo belong to a “clique” tlmt desires fair play—and in proof of this we open our columns free to every mail, rich or poor, black or white, in order to discuss, freely and fairly, tho issues bearing on the coming municipal election. Wo propose hereafter candidly to ex press opinion on every subject involving the welfare of Columbus, nnd no matter how much we may fcol aggrieved by tho conduct of uuy parlies towards ourself in in the d-tys when we were down, aud a stranger, we do not intend using this journal to gratify nny feeling of revengo, for that would be cowardly. Home urge that our brief residence ought to prevent our mnnifcHtationH of interest in local af fairs. Would this reason be applicable as to the journal wo havo mado a c-odit to our city ? Should it prevent our cllorts to bring our city's advantages to the no tice of the world, und could it have had foreo when wo agitated, organized and helped, with all our might, to got the General Government to grant au appro priation for the improvement of our river. Should our short stay preveut our goiug on to Washington again this wiuter to got the appropriation increased ? Hut why should we, aa a journalist, be debarred tho right aeoordod the poorest black man, of openly expressing his approval of tho measures and men whom ho thinks will best ndvauce tho eity of his residence ? It would be easy to remain still, to smile in policy on all men, aud to think only of subscribers and the tickle ap plause of people who are only friends while you tickle them. We havo decided ou our course, and, moved only by incen tives that wo are satisfied are honest, wo propose to go ahead, “with charity for all, and malice towards uonoand the good Father, who has so far blessed our efforts here, will judge us, should wo err, by tho ataudard of motive, which so few men consider. 0.

Alabama Legislature. Friday 27f/i.—Upou tho call of the districts in tho Senate, new bills were pre sented. Those of a general scope, or of iutorost to the counties adjacent to us, were the following: By Mr. Inzer, to pro vide for the payment of Obaueery de crees against the State; by Mr. Martin, to piohibit city or town authorities to lovy a tax ou practicing lawyers; by M Gbolson, to authorize nnd require Clerks of tho Circuit Court to perform Chancery duties iu certain cases; by Mr. Ervin, to authorize Solicitors or Clerks of tho Cir cuit Courts to issue subpieuas during va cation; by Mr. Parks, to establish tbe Criminal Court of Bullock. All the above were referred. A bill offered by Mr. Black, to repeal section 1 of the act authorizing tho appointment of notaries public, so far as it effects Barbour county, was passed, uuder n suspension of tho rule. Mr. Inzer presented a petition from Gen. E. W. Martin, claim ing to huve beou legally elected Senator from the District composed of the comi ties of Butler, Escambia and Conecuh, now occupied by Mr. Miller. Privileges aud Elections, with instructions to report as early as poaaible. The Scuate passed the bill to abolish the Criminal Court of Dallas county. A special commit!oo re ported adversely to the bill to authorize Probate Judges to order elections to pre veut the sale or giving away of spirituous liquors. Concurred iu. Also, fovorably to regulate the sale of vinous or spiritu ous liquoia, aud to authorize the right to petition against such sales. [The bill re quires that the gonuiuo signatures of the majority of tho male and female citizens of wards or incorporated towns shall be secured, before retail liquor liceuse ahull be renewed or granted. 1 The report was concurred in, aud the bill, with amendments, referred to the Judiciary Committee. The President announced the Standing Commit*eos of tho Senate : Judiciary—Messrs. Hamilton, Cobb, L't- tle, Harris of Bussell, Cooper, Martin, Robinson. Mr. Ervin is chairumu of tbe Committee oo Finance and Taxation; Mr. Cobb on Federal Relations; Mr. Coleman on Education; Mr. Inzer ou Privileges aud Elections. The House spent tbe whole day on tho bill to regulate municipal elections in Mobile. The next eleotiou would take place, under existing laws, on Tuesday next. The bill postpones tbe election until the third Tuesday in December, and has stringent provisions for a fair election and a faithful counting of the vote. The Radios! members spoke and maneuvered all day trying to defeat tbe bill, but it waa finally passed by a party vote—M to S3. —Trains passed ovar the Spring Creek bridge at Tuaeumbia, Ala., yesterday af ternoon toe the tret lima sines tha burn- DBA LINOS WITH POLITICIANS—A NOMINA TION AND A SERENADE — TROOPS Of FRIENDS AND LOTS OF 8VOAB—ALSO, LOTS OF LAOEB. From Vie Detroit Fru Prest. John Cain was a quiet, unobtrusive cit izen. He didn’t long for fame and re nown, aud he didu’t care two cauls wheth er this great and glbrioim country waa ruled by a one-horse Republican or a two- horMO Democrat. Ho had a pew in church, gave sixteen ounces for u pound, aud when a man looked hiui square in the eye Mr. Cain never took a back seat. He was home at a reasonable hour in the evening, never took part in tho discussion, “Is l»ger healthy?” and many a man wished that his life rolled on as even'y aud peacefully as John Cain’s, lint bIhh! tbe tempter came. In an evil hour John Cain allowed the politicians to get after him and to sur round him. They said he was the strong est man in the county; that lie could scoop out of his boots any man set up in opposition; that his virtues were many, aud that his faults were 0000; that it was his duty to come out and take a nomina tion in order that this pure and incor ruptible torm of government be main tained pure and iticorrnplible. All this and much more they told him, and Johu Cain became puff ed up. It surprised him some to think that ho had held his peaceful way aloue for forty odd ycirH, liko a knot holo in a barn door, without any ouo having discovered what a heap of u fellow he was, but he concluded that there was a new era in polities, and that it was oil right. Tho politicians covered John Cain with soft soap. They told him that the can- vans shouldn’t cost him n rod, and that ho could still retire at 8 o’clock every even ing, and rest assured that his interests would be properly cured for. It was to bo a still hunt—a very quiet election, and he would hardly know what wus going on. John was an hones’, unsuspecting idiot, and he swallowed their words as the cou* tiding ffnh absorbs the baited hook. John Cain wus duly nominated, and the band came out nnd serenaded him. With the blind came several hundred doctors, who tilled the Cain mansion to overflow ing, spit tobacco all over tho house, ate and drank all they could find, broke down tho guto, and wont off witli throe cheers for >101111 Cain. Before the cauvass was ten days old half a dozen men called ou Cain, and gently hinted to him that he must coiue down with tho “sugar.” Ho didn’t even know what “sugar” was until they ex- pl dned. They wanted money to raise a pole, to buy beer, to get si ps printed,aud to do fifty other tlrngs with, all for his particular benefit, nnd ho had to hand out money. In the course of nnolhor week they drew Cain out to mnko a speech ut a ward meeting. He tried to daw off, hut they told him that the opposing candidate would run him out of sight if he didu’t oouie out, aud ho went out. When he got through speaking tho crowd drank at his expense, and Mr. Cuiu was astonished ut tho way tho liquor went down, and nioro udonished at tho way tho hill footed up. IIo didn’t roach homo until mid night, aud for the first time in his life ho was going to bed with his boots on. His wife wouldu’t speuk to him, tho hired girl left the house to save her character, and John Cuiu wished that tbo politicians had let him alone. Moro men came and crooked their An gers a* him and whispered “Sugar.” They wanted mouey to buy some doubtful votes nud to hiro four-house teams, and to mail his slips, and bo had to come down. He bositated about it, but they told him that the opposing candidate felt sure of victo ry, unu that acted ns a spur. There was hardly a night that from 14 to 240 frieuds did not call ou Mr. Cain to inform him as to the “prospects.” They drank up tho currant wine Mrs. Caiu hud laid by tor sickness, erupted her preserve jars, aud there wasn’t u morning that she couldu’t sweep out forty or fifty cigar stumps and u pock of mud. They all told Cain tlmt he would beat the other man so far out of sight that it would take u currier pigeon to find him, nnd he couldu't very well refuse to go over to the corner grocery nud “sot ’em up” for tho boys. Tbe crisis fitinlly came. On tho eve of election Mr. Cain’s frionds called for “su gar” again, nnd he had to sug ir 'em. A big crowd called to warn him tliut he would certainly be elected, aud thesaloou bill was ij»28 more. Thirteen or fourteen men shook hands with his wife, a bun- dred or moro Rhook hands with him, aud ho had to get up anddec'are that he didu’t favor women’s rights, and that ho did; that he was do* n on whiskoy, and yet loved it os a beverage; that he wanted the currency inflated, nnd yet favored specie payments; that he favored the Civil Rights bill, and yet didn’t; and in bis brief speech Mrs. Caiu counted twenty* soven straight lies, besides tho evasions. Mr. Cain wanted to hold popular views, aud ho had to be on all sides nt once. On the day of the elec'ion thoy draggod him from poll to poll, Ktoppiug at all the saloons ou tho way. He had to make 250,000 promises, pull his wallet until it was us flat as a wafer, drink lager with some and cold water with others, and when night came he wout home and tried to hug the hired girl, cnllod Mrs. Caiu his dear old rhinoceros, fell over tho cradle aud weut to sleep with his hoad under tho stove. Wheu Mr. Cain arose in the morning and became sober enough to road the eleotiou returns, ho fouud ho had scooped 'em as follows: Oppodug candidate 80*420 John Cain .'11,080 TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

ADMINISTRATION PARTY COUNTING OUT CON SERVATIVES. New York, November 28.—Tho Tri bune siya the Administration party iu Florida seems to have been taking lessons from Messrs. Kellogg, Packard and Ca sey. A fair count of the votes cast at the late e'ection gives the Legislatura to tho Conservatives by a majority of cue iu tbo Seuate and four in the House. As a suc cessor to Senator Gilbert has to be cho sen, this is a matter of considerable im portance, nnd it is alleged that tho Re publican officials are now engaged in a vigorous counting-out process to reverse the verdict of the ballot*. Four precincts of Jefferson county, which gave a heavy Conservative majority, have boon thrown out on accouut of the most trivial irregu laritiis iu the returns—for iustance iu two cases the returning officers, after giv ing tbe figures correctly, had neglected to write out the word “votes.” The returns from one of the precinc’s of Leon county wore thrown out ou tho ground that cer tain votes were improperly received by the United States Supervisors. In other oonntiea there are said to be similar pro cesses in operation, and it is by no meaoa improbable that tbe Legislature will be Republican before the State Board of Canvassers have closed their labors. —Peter Cooper, of New York, aaya: “Since I have lived in the upper part of the oity I had the offer of eighteen acres of laud boundad by tha Fith Avenue, Twenty-first street and tha Eighth Avenue for eleven thousand dollars—land that would havo told two years ago for aoaae $16,000,000.” —A boiler explosion at Cambridge, Ohio, yesterday killed two and hurt two. —Chicago ia receiving 40,000 to 60,000 hogs for packing; St. Louis 9,000. —Sherwood C.

Losb $00,000. —The manufacturer of tbe fraudulent belt punchers for oar conductors has been arrested in New York. Twenty conduc tors, using tho device, were arrested. —Owing to the diminished demand for sugar in New York, the refiners of that city aud vicinity are oonsiduriug the ex pediency of diminishing tbe production. —The boy in tbe family of F. W. Priton, at Barboursville, West Virginia, supposed to be the missing Charlie Ross, was found escaped from a neighboring poor house. —The Longshoremen’s strike is un changed. Both parties ere firm. All steamers advertised at New York yester day except the Inmau steamer City of Manchester, which leaves Tuesday. —A schook of an earthquake was dis tinctly felt at Salem and Newburyport, Massachusetts, last Tuesday. Tbe wave moved apparently from west to east, rock ing houses, rattling crockery, and causing some consternation. —A letter purporting to have been writ ten by Hon. D. W. Voorhees, discussing various political issues, published in tbe Indianapolis Journal, Mr. Voorhees pro nounces to be a forgery in every line aud word. —Four hundred invitations to the wed ding of Gen. Sherman’s daughter were stolen from the Washington postofflee, and many of bis oldest and boht friend*, including several prominent officers of the army, wore thus uubidden to the feast. —Geo. G. Wolff, of tbo late firm of Wolff A Leri, of New Orleans, has been arrested in New York and sent to Ludlow Street Jail. Wolff is believed to be the attorney for the creditors of the firm, to havo goods to the amount of $40,000 se- crotod somewhere iu tho city. —Col. McClure confirms tho reported purchase of Forney’s Press t but denies the report that Col. Thou. A. Scott and ex-Gov. Curtin will be interested iu the paper. The paper will be independent, without having in view the advancement of particular men. —Detective John Wren, of Richmond, Virginia, has been convicted of being ac cessory to swindling countrymen at “banco,” and sentenced to one year's hard labor. Chief of Detectives Knox uud Police Justice White are to be tried for the same offence. —Thaddeus Stevens’ estate, valued at $150,000, goes to the founding of an asy lum iu Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Col. Stevens, his heir, refused to comply with the conditions imposed in the will, and hence tbe estate lapses to tbe object tioned. —The Chicago Board of Trado charged W. N. Sturgis, a member, with “uncom mercial conduct, in runuiug a corner on grain, iu contravention of the rules of the Board.” The Board was Rtopped in a vote which it was expected wonld expel him by an injunction. —Tbe stories of extensive organizations to get the Southern claims for slaves pass ed by Congress, were started probably by the bugaboo class of politicians who are keeping up their trade so as to be ready for 1870. The statement that ex-Sonator Yuloe, of Florida, is paying $100 per hood for such claims is an uuiuitigated lie. —In couseqnenco of the convictiou of Sigisumud Schwab ,for selling liquor in dofiunco of tbe Excise law in New York, the rush of the liquor dealers to tbe Board of Excise rooms, Friday, for the purpose of tukiug out licenses was overwhelming. The amount of nionoy deposited to puy for liceuses was $14,000, aud then a large number were not attended to. —Hon. Milton Turner, U. 8.

The report of the “Geueral Graud High Priest” set forth the prosperity of the Or der throughout tho jurisdiction, and states that "Alabama was about to rejoin the General Graud Chapter,” iu which Georgia and Texas are the only Grand Chapters in tho Unitod States yet without representation. The “General Grand High Priest" recommends that all “Mark Masters” of Great Britain aud Ireland “be recognized by the Royal Arch Masous of this Grand jurisdiction,” because the ju risdiction on the other side has signified its willingness to return the recognition. A resolution was adopted recognizing the Grand Chapter of Virginia; also, one ap proving the doings and decisions of the General Grand High Priest for the past three vears.

A British State Secret Out.—Official ciroles in England are agitated just now by tbo fact that a secret, for which Mr. Gladstone's government paid a heavy price, appears to have been re-sold to the Gorman government.
