A gentleman who votes in Cobb county,
reported a state of affairs at the polls in
Marietta this morning, not very creditable
to Democrats. The voting was being done
largely by Republicans, and the poiis were
entirely in the hand* of the Republican
managers. At the time stated, covering a
considerable period, the Democratic man
agers were conspicuous by their absence,
what kind of chance does this give the
Democracy of Cobb county ?
There is evidently a full attendance of
tbe Legislature iu the city to-day, and tne
wire pulling by and for candidates ls sim
ply immense. To-morrow will probably
time. This move has at last been made.

Tney were not reliable, and in consequence
a poorer train service was had loan wouid

Rev. Dennis Osborne, a native mission
ary from India, who has Oeen visiting the
United States, delivered an interesting ad
dress at Dr. Wylie’s church, on Broad
street, below Spruce, yesterday afternoon,
to a congregation that filled every seat.
After uciiing of his conversion to Christian
ity when he was a boy, Dr. Osborne, his
wife and his thirteen-year-old son, sang a
hymn in their native language. He then
began speaking of India, which he said
was teeming with traditional associations
dating track 1.000 years.
“India,” continued the speaker, “has a
population of 270,000,000 souls and is in
creasing at the rate of one-half per cent
per annum. Tnese people are acute in
intellect, docile and affectionate, out they
are devoted to their superstitions, which
we are endeavoring to overcome, and
we are meeting with splendid success.
“The Hindoos believe in one supreme,
seif-existing being, whom they trail Gyd.
Each deity is the personification of vice
and a monstrosity of evil.” He then ex
plained some of the idols and gods and
the effect their woranip had upon the
morals of the natives. •*Tne Hindoo has
not a ray of hope to pierce the gloom of
his eternity. He believes tnat when death
i takes place the spirit goes through S.-400,-
000 stages of transfiguration, which is toe
> only eternity he wul possess.”
