The New York papers print an al

Cuba, to her officers hi subordinate

In the Senate they are increasing.
Conover and Patterson seem to be in
curring the ill-will of the Conkling
stripe, because they are beginning for
the first time to vote in accordance
.with the real and true will of the
States they have hitherto misrepre
sented. Partisan rule appears at last
to have been broken, and the dawn
of peace is shedding its bright gleams
over a re-united country. Radical
ire is terribly excited. Wadlelgh,
Edmunds & Co. have delayed the
hearing of the cases of Eustis and
Under on the most trivial grounds.
Their excuses have been of the
most childish character. Hippie
Mitchell hus been convicted of delib-
ate falsehood. Aftcrmany long weary
years of waiting some idea of fairness
has crept into the United States Sen
ate. Carpet-baggers, it Is true, have
given that Intimation first, and the
Radicals are showing their true vin
dictiveness. They attribute the falsest
of motives to those who have noted
with them, and now desiring to make
amends for the past vote to represent
the true sentiment of the States of
which they claim to be Senators.
Only partisan malignancy can Vic
urged against at once disposing of
the cases of Eustisand Butler, and we
do not believe there is a well-in
formed man on this broad continent
who believes that Kellogg is the
choice of the people of Louisiana for
Senator, and SpotTord is not. The
Democrats may fail in seating the
three legally elected Senators, but the
next Senate, now about fifteen
months from its commencement, is
lertain not to be Republican.
That point lias already been
decided. The Democrats have
ulready thirty-four Senators. One each
from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
California, South Carolina and Ohio
will increase the number to forty,and
the Senate consists of only seventy-
six members. We can afford to be
heated out of three now, but we are
ertain to win two of the three before
1870,and they’wlll Bwelljthe Democrat
ic strength to forty-two,and the party
has good chances for probably three
more. The Republicans are laying
lown partisan precedents which will
act upon them in the future.
The Cincinnati Enquirer gives a
sumnjary of the Senatorial predile
tionsoftho Demcratic members of
Ohio Legislature, dividing them a
follows: Pendleton, 30; Ewing, 21
Morgan, 10; Hurd, 8; Ward, 4; Cam]
bell. 2; Allen, 2; l’ayno, 1. It is con
ceded that the contest now 1hbetween
Pendleton, Ewing and Morgan, and
unless die light between these thr
should become very bitter, one of
them will lie elected.
Frank Ranue, the Western des
perado, who lias killed many men
and robbed many people, was wound
ed and captured the other day. H
is 23 years old, highly educated, stud
led for the ministry, became an in
fidel, but remained sober. He says
“I don’t drink codec or liquor of any
kind^ or use tobacco, and must al
ways have good water. I love brav
men, beautiful women, pure wide
and substantial food, witliii few ktilck
knacks occasionally.”
Mr. August Belmont, the banker
was born in 181U, and speaks and
writes four laiigungcs with correctin'
and elegance. He is of middle stilt
nrc, well Guilt, with small hands and
fed, with sidewhiskers turning gray,
and n finely moulded, partially bald
cranium, llis features nrc handsome
and regular, and IiIh complexion fresh
for a man of bis age. 11c Is an arbi
trary but not a ipiarrclsomc man, and
lie carries a bulletin bis hip which
lie received in defense of. the reputa
tion of a lady.
The Doorkeeper of the House 1ms
removed tile thirteen Union soldiers
who were on the rolls of the House us
messengers, assistant doorkeepers,
etc. As comment of an unfavorable
nature will undoubtedly lie made on
thiB, it is proper to say that the thir
teen Union soldiers removed wore
Republicans, and the Doorkeeper, on
the recommendation of members of
Congress, lias appointed in their
places thirteen Union soldiers who
are Democrats, and whose seal's are
ns numerous and whoso record as
honorable as the others.
Judge Sims, of Mississippi, held a
full hand. Tlie New Orleans Demo
crat shows that lie lost nothing by
the election, it is true that the office
to which lie was elected was abol
ished. The amendment, however,
that abolishes the office of Lieutenant
Governor, makes tlie President of the
Senate ex-officio Lieutenant Gover
nor to succeed the Governor in
the event of tlie latter’s deatli or res
ignation. It so happens that Judge
Sims is President of tlie Senate. He
enjoys, therefore, the title of Lieuten
ant Governor by virtue of tlie late
election, and tlie privileges of tlie of
fice by virtue of the tact that li
President of the Senate. He is Lieu
tenant Governor, therefore, not only
in mime but in fact.
Hon. .1. H. James on The CJues-
on.—Jty particular request we pub
lish the short letter of Hon. John H.
James favoring Atlanta as tlie capi
tal. He gives excellent reasons why
the capital should be removed to
Milledgeville. Atlanta, lie says, will
not be benefltted. Granted. Milledge-
ville will be, and tlie property of Unit
place so largely enhanced, that greatly
increased revenue from taxes will
result to tlie State. Milledgeville lias
ample public buildings, much
better ones than Atlanla—those
that will be good ns ever,
while those of Atlanta aro
tumbling. Atlanta and no other
ty in Georgia can afford .to erect a
new capital, even though tlie majori
ty of tlie people might bo willing.
Whole columns of tax suleH appear in
the papers, credit is strained there us
well as everywhere and the city can
sustain no more burdens. When one
is comfortably fixed, he prefers not to
move, and that is the strong reason
why the capital should have never
been taken from Milledgeville and
why it should lie returned there.
General Gordon’s Reply.—We
give this morning Senator Gordon’s
reply to tlie printed letter of Mayor
Huff, of Macon, and deem it just.
It settles nil claims of Mr. Hull, and
all charges of unfairness or double
dealing on the part of our noble Sen
ator. Mayor Huff’s appointment
would not have been satisfactory to
the people of Georgia, and Sen
ator Gordon, representing them as lie
does, was perfectly correct in with
drawing his endorsement. It will
not do for a gentleman to he riding
two horses at once when endeavoring
to obtain a polilieal office. We con
fess a greater admiration for General
Gordon for withdrawing his name
from an endorsement, and working
against what he had hitherto ap
proved, wlien it is demonstrated to
him the applicant for office is not a
Democrat of the genuine stripe.

New Minister to Hriull.
Special l'i the Chicago Inicr-Ocean.]
WahhiNOTON, Nov. 10.— It would
HOPMI tlmt Hilliard, Minister to Brazil,
will not lie confirmed, as evidence lias
been brought before the Committee of
Foreign Relations to show that besides
being a Democrat he is otherwise unfit
for the honor. Hill ard was a minister
of the gospel. Ho la charged with hal
ing been guilty of adultery, with hav
ing swindled people out of money, and
with other offenses of an eqally grave
character. He was appointed originally
on tlio recommendation of Secretary
Thompson, who had been very inti
mate with Hilliard when both wore
young men in Virginia together, but
who had entirolv lost sight of him for
forty years. After Ilayes was inaugu
rated Hilliard came to Washington to
hunt an oflleo, and renewed his ac
quaintance with ids old comrade. Pres
ident Hayes was looking for an old
Whig, aiid Thompson recommended
Hilliard. It is duo to both the Presi
dent and Secretary Thompson to say
that neither of thorn know of these
elmrgos that have been made against
liis morals. Thompson romombered
him only as a minister of tlie gospel.
When Hilliard roeoivod his commission
last July lie did not want to be sworn
in after the usual manner, but took the
oath beforo a Justice of tlio Peace and
sailoil at once for Brazil without taking
tlio thirty days’ leavo allowed all for
eign appointees. Both ho and Sanford
will probably lie rejected for cause, and
tlio point disputed In eauetis will not
come up, as there will be enough be
sides Ills Democracy to provent his con
firmation.
How far correspondents of Radical
journals will tax their ingenuity to
further their ends lias not yet been
fathomed. The foregoing is one of
ttiose malicious falsehoods we are so
frequently called upon to notice. Tlie
Hon. H. W. Hilliard is too well
known in this community for us to
even mention tlie matter, but lie
holds a position where lie represents
tlie whole United States, and there
aro many communities where this
falsehood would be believed if not
contradicted, and we do not know
any better source for a contradiction
than tills paper, as it 'did all in tlie
editors’ power, without resorting to
low billingsgate or vile falsehoods to
defeat him when last fall he was an
Independent candidate for Congres
sional honors. Mr. Hilliard has al
ways commanded tlie respect and con
fidence of this and other communities
in whicli he dwelt. He lias for years
been a minister of the Methodist
Church and we have never lrearda
breath of suspicion ns to his Christian
life. As for defrauding anyone, noth
ing could lie further from the actions
and doings of a man who for a long
and successful life as an attorney hns
always stood with the highest, as to
integrity.
VONOVEH AND PATTERSON.
New York and Pennsylvania.
After nearly three weeks’ delay we
have all approximate statement of the
vote of New York in tlie recent elec
tion. The returns lire not all mild
up yet, hut the voles east in all the
counties but three, New York, Kiiig>
and Erie, stand as follows for Secre
tary of State:

Greenback and Workingmen.. 20,049
i
Republican plurality 25,528
The estimated Democratic majority
in the throe counties, whose returns
yet to lie made up, is .80,000, so
that the Democratic majority for See-
rotary of State in the whole State will
benbout 10,600. For Comptroller tlie
Democratic majority is about 0,000
larger—10,500. Not withstanding thi
however, tlie Republicans will have
small majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature, which secures the re-ele
tiou of Senator Conkling.
The vote of Pennsylvania as otll
daily declared was for Supreme
Judge: Trunkoy (Democrat), 251,
000; Stcrrett (Republican), 244,480;
Rent ley (Greenback ami Labor)
51,582; Winton (Prohibition), 2,899—
the Democratic plurality being 0,620,
In this State there is a great fnllin
off’in the aggregate vote east. In
1870 for President it was 758,95’
the recent election it was 551,878—i
decrease of 207,079, or nearly one
third. Tlie Republican vote fell off
189,008, and tlie Democratic 114,587,
showing a striking lack of interest in
the late election.

Tlio occurrences of to-day, as may
be well imagined, have produced
profound impression. Tlie sceno in
tlie Senate Chamber for two hours
and a half was one of tlie most in
tense interest. It will never bo for
gotten by tlioHe present. At adjourn
ment last night hut few Republicans
realized the exact situation. Mr
Thun nan’s movements at tlie opening
of the session, however, were Buffi
cient to show that there was great
confidence on tlio Democratic side,
and tlmt they expected to carry the
lay. The purposes of Conover and
Patterson became fully known before
vote was readied oil tlio proposition
to lay on the table Mr. Thurman’s
motion to take up tlie Butler case,
’lie first notice that this intended
postnsy was known to the Ropubli
ails came in tlio midst of some lilting
marks from Mr. Conkling, delivered
with his remarkable facility in
speech of tills, kind, in which, turning
first to Conover on one hund, ipul
looking him full in tlie face, and
then to Patterson .on the other, no re
ferred to an unholy alliance by whicli
tlie Democrats expected to obtain con
rol of tlio body at tills time. Tlie
Senate was full, tlie pages having
brought in every one from tlio com
mittee rooms. Many members of the
louse, in spite of the excitement
(here, hod left and crowded into the
handier, over which a deep silenc
was fast creeping. The galleries had
gathered nearly all of whom the dull
day had allowed to reach tlie Capitol
' ’oakling's measured words, and li'
pointed designation of tlie men he
was tlius charging with desertion,
made known the situation to nil pre
sent. Tlie Senators thus pointed out
wild not stand tlie notoriety, and
temporarily withdrew. The brief
iehate proceeded with unusual quiet,
it was a stillness ominous of disaster
to the Republicans. The Democrats
sal almost .silent, waiting for a chance
vote, mid when ut length roll call
began, on tlie motion to take up
Thurman’s resolution to proceed with
the Rutter case, there was absolute
silence throughout the chamber, ex-
-pt as the Clerk called the names of
the Senators andas the latter answer
ed. Conover’s name was first to be
reached of those whose vote was to
decide. As lie answered “No,” Re
publicans sat tis silent as soldiers stand
when the first pattering shots of
battle begin to fall. The Democrats
sat ns still, and few turned to
look nt their colleagues. On tlie
faces of tlie Republicans there was a
universal expression of deep contempt
and serious disappointment, wliileliet
whole Democratic side wore an air of
triumph. Few .Republicans hoped
for help from Davis, hilt the silenc
appeared to grow deeper ns Ills name
was called, ami, us lie, too, answered
"No," the roll ran on without atten
tion, until Patterson's name was
reached. Every breath appeared to
lie held close as he answered with
Conover; and, through tlie rest of the
call, there was a general stir, as if to
recover from tlie tense strains of the
watching. When the result was an
nouneed, and it appeared beyond
question that tlie Democrats' had
virtually come into power in tlie
Senate, and could control a majority
oftwo votes, it, seemed nlmost
credible, even to those who have been
expecting such a result, from the
Democratic intrigues of the first few
weeks.
Senator Edmunds indicated his idea
of the situation to-night to a lady who
asked his assistance in securing
appointment in the gift of tlie Ker-
geant-nt-Arms of the Senate. He
stated Hint nothing could he done at
present, and it was ids opinion that
tlie positon would he held by Demo

Mr. IF. A. Huff:
Dear Sir.—I have only to-night
received your letter of tlie 9th inst.,
which was handed to me printed in
mmplilet form. Before attending to
lie request it contains, permit me to
correct some of the gross misappre
hensions of material facts upon
which your request is based.
First. You say that tlie President
iromised me last Marcli to amioint a
democrat Marshal of Georgia.
About this you have been misin
formed. The President made no
such promise to me.
Second. You say that you have in
formation upon which you rely that
tlie President had appointed you as a
Democrat, and that I convinced him
that you were not a Democrat. This
is not true.
Precisely the reverse is true. Tlie
President had not appointed you at
all. He had made up his mind to ap
point you, but not as a Democrat
us you will presently see. I did not
convince him, but be did satisfy me
that you were being urged, “not
a Democrat.” I never
said to tlie President that you
were not a Democrat; nor did I ever
say one word to him directly or indi
rectly from which any sucli inference
could be drawn, you have tlie facts,
in this respect, us in several others all
reversed. The fuels are these, I ar
rived in Washington on tlie day pre
ceding tlie one on which Congress as
sembled, and then heard for the first
time that you were being pressed for
appointment as a suitable person to
build up tlie Republican party in
Georgia. Surprised at this I at once
asked the President to withhold any
appointment for a day, and until I
should be heard from. The President
consented. My object was to ascer
tain tlie truth in reference to this re
port. On my return to my hotel a
printed copy of endorsements of your
self was placed in my hands. On
tlie first page of this pamphlet I found
that Messrs. McBurney and Dibble,
Republicans, from Macon, had pre
sented your application. They say in
th(?ir letter to the President, “ Wc
have the pleasure to hand you here
with hts {your) application.
This seemed to indicate that these
gentlemen were your chosen agents
for this purpose, for it did not occur
to me that they would state to the
President that they presented your
application “herewith,” &e., unless
they really did present it and had
charge of it for tills purpose.
On the second page of this pamph
let I found the reasons assigned by
themselves for their anxiety to have
you made Marshal. They state these
reasons in the most frank manner. I
give tlie reasons in their own words
They say in their letter to tlie Presi
dent tliut his {your) appointment
would materially strengthen Ecpubli
aanism in Georgia in harmonizing,’
&c., &c., “ana bring much added
strength .from sources hitherto dor
mant or in active op/tosition.” Now,
when I found that these Republicans
were your chosen agents apparently
to present your application and,, had
assigned these seasons for your ap
pointment nnd I found the
letter of Mr. Dibble to the
Attorney-General on the next page,
which lie states that the “real true
Republicans in Georgia,” (italicising
the word true) “desire his (your) ap
pointment,” it occured to me that it
was time to look further into this
matter. J felt tlmt it was my duty to
political status, me from tlie disagree
able task which a sense of duty to my
State compelled me to perform, and
yourself, possibly, from themortiflea-
tion experienced at the loss of the 1
office you desired to fill.
As you saw fit to publish your letter
before it readied me, I respectfully
request that you will publish my an
swer. If you are disinclined to do so |
I Shull publish it myself.
Respectfully yours,
J. B. Gordon.

The Grange and its Strength.
—The Grange has decreased largely I
in strength in tlie last few years. The
cause is that tlie original object of the |
splendid organization has been per
verted. Originally designed for im
proving agriculture, ambitious meni-1
bers sought, by means of the order, to
elevate themselves to political power made ns pr»ui|>tly, us by any other first-ciass roinpaiiy represented In Georgia,
and tlie usurpation of other businesses,
and as a consequence farmers dropped
off. In July, 1876, there were 16,106
paying granges, with a membership
of 588,525, and that year 884 granges
were organized, and in 1877 only 165.
In 1875-6 about 8,000 granges ceased
to pay dues. Tills meant they were
dead. In Georgia on July 1st, 1876,
there were 277 paying granges, with
membership of 10,101, and fourteen
granges were organized, and in 1877
only two, and many chapters are fall
ing into decay. In very few States
tlie order prospering, because the
design has not been carried on cor
rectly. In the Southern States espe
cially is shown a vast decrease.

tlie people of Georgia to learn from
the President himself tlie impression
on his mind us to your political status.
I therefore asked the President the
direct question: “Is Mr. Huff urged
for appointment as a Democrat.”
1 give tlie President's reply in
own words. He said: “_A T o,- not as
a Democrat, but as a man with very
liberal ideas in politics.” This infor
illation given me by the President
himself, supplemented by tlie tact
that Messrs. McBurney and Dibble
bad presented your application and
urged your appointment, because it
would “materially strengthen Repub
licanism in Georgia,” were tlie rea
sons, the only reasons, and 1 thinli
sufficient reasons, for my opposition
to your appointment; and I am sure
are the reasons which governed tlie
Georgia delegation.
I had, in response to your wishes
expressed to me through your friends
endorsed you, under the firm belief
that you were a Democrat and would
seek tlie office as a Democrat. T1
apparent inconsistency, therefore, of
being endorsed us a Democrat in
Georgia and urged for appointment
in Washington as “not a Democrat,”
but ns a suitable party to strengtho
Republicanism in Georgia, left me no
alternative blit to say to the President
tlmt I did not believe your appoint
ment would be acceptable to tlie peo
ple of Georgia.
Your Insinuations that there we
other reasons impelling tlie Georgia
delegation to oppose you are not wor
thy of a reply. In answer to your in
juiry why the "pamphlet arguments’
ns you term them, were not used
against you at an earlier day, I have
to say that 1 have no knowledge of
the motives which brought them out
in opposition to you. as i have none
of the purposes whicli prompted their
use in your favor, neither do I know
why they were published in pamphlet
form by your friends; I only know
that when, for tlio first time they
were presented to me, they made upon
my mind precisely the same impres
sion, which by some means hnd been
made upon the mind of tlie President,
viz.: That you were being urged for
appointment—“not as a Democrat.”
In conclusion, let me say tlmt it is
very difficult to determine from your
letter tlie precise request you make of
me. Relying upon your sincerity in
denying tlmt you bad any connection
with the publication of these endorse
ments and political pledges made for
you, I am more than willing to state
that great injustice has been dope you
by those Republicans who made these
publications and pledges for von, and
who presented you to the President
as “not a Democrat,” and urged your
appointment on tlie ground tlmt it
would “materially strengthen Repub
licanism in Georgia.”
it is, however, to be greatly regret
ted (and you will pardon me for the
suggestion) that you did not expose
this wrong and denounce this mis
representation of your purposes, when
you first learned tlmt these “pamph
let arguments” were being, used in
your interest at Washington.
Had you, on receipt of that copy
sent you a few days after its publica
tion, or in June even, made known
your disapproval of such argument
mid your dissent from such pledges,
I will address the poople on tlio |
Senatorial question at the follow
