It ia gratifying aad encouraging toaee
that neither of theae addreaaes exhibit*
any symptom of despondency or irreoola-
tion. They all regard the political proa-
pact aa hopeful, and urge the frienda of
conatitutional government to a more de
termined effort in behalf of their camo
and their principlea. The very meana ly
which the Administration won ita victory
in Fenna/Jrsnie and made ao close a race
in Indiana admooiah na of the imminent
peril of oar free inatitationa and of the
rights end libertiee of the people. The
great qiertloa now la whether we are
hereafter to have popular government et
nlL la the laugaege of the National Dem
ocratic Committee t “For the that time
the ayatem of free government and the
saneiity of tha ballot are really on triul in
the United KUtea. From thla honr for
ward the prenervation of tbo franchise in
ita integrity dwarfa all other iaauoa."
Aa John Foraytb, of the Mobile
ter, (who waa reluctant to napport Greely)
aaya In view of the late reanlta: “There
in no I*re»idential battle like (hie one in
the annate of the country, t realty jiity
the turn who, with the junker to utrit.r a

the after thought* of theae wind-mill

Can it be pomibln that any Southern
man, in view of the dangora ahead - in
view of the aectional ariimoNitiea that give
ita only l»ond of IJniou to the party sup
porting Grant—in view of tbo usurpa-

We are glad to note the apirit with
which mime of the lateral Republican
presses of the North ere denouncing I he
fraud*, uaurpaliou and corruptions by
which the ftadical party oarry elections.
Ilad tho Dcmocrata of that section, sever,
hi yenra ago, dotortuinod not to acquiesce
in oulragea such aa Uadioaliam ia only re-
jienting I hia year, the oountry might by
thin tune have boon aroused to a degree
of vigilance And determination that would
have mode the practice of auoh outrages

It reinaina with tbs people of Penney),
vania to decide whether they will vindi
cate their right to eelf.governtnent, or
nubniit to grind in the mills of tbo ban-
diU who have robbed them of their citi-
/enabip. They yesterday elected Charles
it. Hnokalew to be their Governor. A
handful of rogue*, representing the party
in power, violated the ballot-boxes, and
nuhalituteil for tha elect of the people a
creature of their own, a man of tainted
moral ammeter end groetly inferior ahlli-
tica. To Nubmit to a robbery like thla, to
call it a mere political act and lat the met
ier real there, ia oowardly and criminal.—
If llartmuft takes hia neat, there ia not
law, but anarchy, in Pennsylvania.
The Liberal journals of Ohio are very
confident of carrying Ohio for reform in
November. The Cincinnati “Enquirer'
aaya: “Only a ohange of (1,000 votes ia
required to carry Ohio for Greeley.—
There ere 2,000 election districts, and a
change of threo in each of thorn will do
the business. Every Democrat and Lib
eral Republican wit have aoen aeys, ‘Koep
up the fire.' Our chances of carrying
Ohio for Greeley are good. There la but
a auull majority to overoome, and wo
know that there ere plenty of men who
voted egainMt ua in Oetobcr who will to

One of the complaints, made nnder the
Enforcement aot by a negro, against the
managers of tho election in Savannah,
waa tried before U. M. Commissioner

Radical challenger at the poll aware to
the falsehood of tho negro'a statements.
And now, will the negro be punished for

The Alabama papers are calling nprni

It eppeara that according to tha law ragia-

wince the adoption of the new constitu

We would auggest that it may not be safe

Tke Meeting Unt Sight.
The |>oople of Columbus turned out in
greater numl»era than at any previous
jMilitical gathering of (ha campaign (o
hoar (ho addresHes of Dr. II. V. M. Miller
and Oov. Hmilh at the Opera House last
night. Thu meeting wus a lively and eu-
thiuuMtie one, aud gave assurance that
the people of Mnacogeo county are not
diaiuayud—are not discouraged—but will
tixoel iu November their great victory of
Oetolkur.
Dr. Miller inado olio of Iho RtrougeKt
and moat convincing speeches of tho
oauvmm. lie arraiguod the Grant Admin-
iatration, for it* usurpation*, corruptions
and orime*, with all tho aeverity of indig
nant truth aud all tho fervor of true
eloqnence. Hie defence of Greoley uud
vindication* of hi* conduct towards tho
Houth were very truthful aud impressive,
and hia appeal for the union of all good
man to realoro aud preaerve a constitu
tional government waa forcible aud we
hope effective.
Gov. Bmith returned bia warmest thank*
to the people of Muaoogee county for
their kindneea and confidence. Hu suid
that he wm mainly indohtud to them for
political diatinotion, and that his lot for
life waa coat with them. He innde n
strong and telliug appeal to the colored
people to coat down tho false goda to
whom they have been doing homage and
ideutify themselves in interest aud poli
tics with their turo friend*—the pooplo of
the South. Ho also showed up the
“straight" folly in a humorous way, and
oluaad a abort apeech in a manner that
pleases every one.
Muacogoe ia arouaod, and will make a
good showing iu November.
We neglected to notioe qnito a hnppy
scenic effect during the apeaking in tho
Opera House on Friday night. At tho
olaee of Dr. Miller'h speech, while tho de
lighted audience were giviug enthusiastic
demouatrationa of applause, tho stago
curtain waa inatantaneouwly abiftod, aud
a life-size pioture of Horae* Greeley in
the weoda of hia Ghappaqua hon e w*a
precepted. Ita fidelity made it at onao
recognizable, aud it waa received with
round on rouud of delighted applause.
Indeed ao continuous aud hoarty were tho
piaudite for both, that wa doubt whether
tha eloquent a|»eaker oould tell where hia
went out and where Greeley’a eame iu.
It waa a very happy and well-oontrivod
inoident, highly ereditablo to both the
and judgment of the oonooiver aud
the okiil of tboeo who oo adroitly carried
it Into execution.

We leant from Ute TalboUon Standout
at a liberal ouhecription baa boon
promised from Golumhna to build a
narrow-gauge railroad from Talbottou to
oonneet with our North A Houth near
Hamilton, and that the people in the
western pert of Talbot offer to take liberal
a took in thia narrow-gauge enterprise,
But Mm Standard aaya that aa effort is
nevertheless to bo made to tndooo Macon
to do oouoothing for tho proposed branch
road from Geneva or No. G to Talbottou
It realty aoema to ua that the proposed
now-gauge oonneottoo near Hamilton
la ao mantfaatly the beat projoct for
factoring a local trade at TalboUon, that
there should be no hesitation in preferring
it to e ooaaeetioo with the Boothwentern

Southwestern eonnecUon would of course
bo a grunt accommodation for through
freight*. But would R not have the effect
of taking tho looal Undo from TalboUon
and transferring it to Moooo or Columbus ?
And on tho other hand, would not the

llotwcen sundown and dark y^terday
afternoon, tbo community whh startled by
tho aunouncoinout that Mr. J. II. Towns-
ml, a >ouug lawyer of thi* city, had
Iiooii shot in a duel, by Mr. Iloustou T.
that Townsend wan mortally
wounded, being shot with a shot gun at a
few pace* distant; and that ton buckshots
were lodged in Mr. Towunoud.
It was difficult to obtain * full and sat
isfactory account of tho ufiuir, hut from
one or two eyo-witnesso* to tho satfoc
currence, wo glean tho following :
Our readers no doubt have rend tho
correspondence which appeared iu Tbo
Sun of yesterday.
It seem* lhat no formal challenge wns
passed, but that Mr. Korea and Mr. Hart,
principal and second, considered the note
o' Mr. Towtiaond, tho socoud of Mr.
Haskell, ns indicative of his willingness
to take Mr. Hoskoir* place; and having
declined to have any further communion-
tiou through Mr. JoMoph li. Smith, noth
ing roniaiued but for tho seconds to nr-
range tho proliiiiiimrio* for a meeting.
Mr. Hart, who had been acting hh Mr.
Forco’s friend, was not informed of tho
approuching mooting, and Mr. Forco
oiioso Mr. Crutchfield, of Virginia, ah his
second, Mr. Towusetid selecting Mr. Goo.
Wallace of thi* city, for his second.
Shot gun* charged with ten buck shot
cartridge* were Heluuted, aud the parties
repaired in carriage* to a spot near tbo
cemetery. Mr. Towuscuid and Mr. Wal-
1 co, and Mr. lVnn Bedell, a friend of
Wallace, going' iu one oarriogo; and Mr.
Forco and Mr. Crutcbtiald iu another.
It wa* ugreed that tho antagoniHta
should stand twouty pace* apart, with
thoir hacks to each other, and wheel and
tiro at the word. The position aud tho
giviug of tho word, were determined by
lot—Townsend winning both ; and Wal
lace, his second, gave the siguul.
There aro variou* report* ahont tho
manner in which the word w-na given, and
the fact* were not reliably ascertained by
u*. It nocuih that the word “tiro!" was
not pronounced at all. The moat proba
ble account of (be affair is that Mr. Wal
lace cried out, “Are you ready? One-
two--three!" instead of “Fire! One-
two—three!" that Mr. Force wheeled on
the word “one,” and fired before the word
“throe"; but that Mr. Towuttoud did not
wheel promptly from *oine cause [ possi
bly owing to the failure to give the word
correctly, causing him to hesitate, j Mr.
Dedell, who wah only a spectator, calhd
out, Huying, “That ia wrong, goutlomeu !"
intending to arrest «ny shot till the word
could tie correctly given, but he was too
lute. It is alleged that several seconds
claused after Mr. Force had turned round
befoic he fired, a* if he wore waiting for
Mr. Tow intend to turu, or waa also con
fused by tho improper word giveu, aud
was hesitating, llow all (hi* wa* we do
not kuow. We do not give all the report*
we heard—only the one which seems moat
likely to be correct.
Do this an it may, Mr. Townsend re
ceived the oontcutsof Mr. Foroea guu os
he turned rouud, iu hi* left shoulder and
arm, and some of tho ahot entered his
body behind the arm. He fell iu*tantly,
aud hia guu was discharged in the air as
he fell. The bone in the arui abovo tha
elbow waa shivered.
Mr. lledell first reached him, and has-
tened to give him water, which was hi*
first request. Dr. Westmoreland attend
ed him, and after he wa* brought homo a
number of ithyaieian* attended him and
rendered all needed assistance. Mr.
Force assisted Dr. Westmoreland to place
him in the carriage, returned to the city
and delivered him to his parents—tender
ing hia baud as a token of sympathy, re
conciliation and aboouoe of any personal
ill will. ^
Mr. B. W. Briscoe and Dr. Westmore
land remonstrated and pleaded to arrest
the combat bnt without avail. It is un-
daratood that neither Mr. Hart, Mr. Maa-
kell nor Mr. Joseph II. Smith, kuow
anything of the combat uutil all was over
—the two Utter not haviug auy dream
that any thing of the kind wa* on baud—
so we are told; while Mr. Hart, it is acid,
expected to meet Mr. Towuseud upon the
issue presentokI in yeetanUy morning*
correspondence, perhaps to-day or to.
morrow—being confined to a sick bed and
locked iu by Dr. Westuiore'aud, bis at
tending physician.
We learn that a warrant has been issu
ed for Mr. Force. We do not kuow that
any effort baa been made to arrest him.—

A nenonal Mend of Senator Sumner,

and an earnest de*ue lo retrieve the uiis-

our most sanguiue estimate. In the coun
try it iell short ; but tho aggregate of the
Liberal* iu city anil country who voted
our Btate ticket, added to the Democratic
vote of 1 «<;.<, would have overcome the
RcpubliiHUi majority at that election and
the negro vote combined end given us
victory. Can we repair the mischief?
Wo cmii. Four-fifths of the Democrats
who staid at houio last Tucsduy c-tn be
induct d to vote for Greeley iu November.
TLoho who will absolutely refuse to go to
the poll* will be counterbalanced by those
Republicans who went against us lost
Tuesday but will vote for Greeley. We
have only to poll our uhuaI Democratic
vote to MDatch from del eat a glorious
victory. The Liberal* ntrulch forth the
hand; shall we refuse to tuku it? The
prostrate and plundered Honth cries out
tor ltolp; shall we tie deaf to tbeir appeal ?
By Mr. Greeley's election we can restore
prosperity and good government to the
Boutii, kind foelmg to the now hostile
sections, honesty and honor to the civil
Her vice, respect for the Constitution and
l*w* to the National Administration.
Could wc do more with a Democrat iu the
Presidency? Could he expect that co
operation in Cougree* which Mr. Oreeley
Would command ? Are patriotic Demo-
Oral* willing to lose all tho beneficial re-
Hiilt* of victory out of pcrhonul hostility
to Greeley, or disgraceful lethargy ? A:e
Ohio Democrat* ready to let our yet pure
and proud State become debauched nnd
hopelessly subjugated, like Pennsylvania,
bv hordes of mercenaries paid by public
plunder?
Fellow Democrats, our union with the
Liberal* in Ohio has not been fruitle**.
It Iihh given us )l*iiii;toii county by near
41,000 majority, which hccnris the Consti-

both Ohio and Pennsylvania go for Grant,
the chance* are still in favor of Greeley'*
election. Connecticut, New Yoik, N*-w
Jersey and Indiaua, added to those Bor
der and Southern States which are certain
for Greeley, will give him a clear ma
jority. Wo have already', by n vigorous
olid aggressive fight, forced the Grant
party to it* ku< ts, aud can conquer it iu
November.
Fellow Democrats, work till November
heartily and hopefully. The Liberals will
take cure of tkuuiHcl v«*s. Lot evryy Dem

those Democrats iu each township who

and practically to pronounce in advance

Greeley and Drown.
In Fenubylvania the distinguished

w hich the result of the election there was
accomplished. We commend Li* state

iu Ohio, despite most unprecedented

the Grant manager* have carried the elec

'the event in Pennsylvania, on Tuesday

Should the system through wbi h this ca

ding as follows: First of all questions
is tho emancipation of i.!l thu white men
of tho country, so that they shall enjoy
equa* rights with tho hluck men of tbu
conntry. Whether it shall be successful
in my poison or not, 1 do not know, but 1
thank heaven that my name will bo iden

alize tho policy of this country. This
movement must prevail. We cannot
hate forever. We Khull settle these ques

the fiext year or thu year after, and stand
together a* American citizen* of one
country and heirs of one heritage, roady
to stand shoulder to shoulder in defense
of that country if attacked by uny ouemy
whatever. [Great applause.]

Our readers will recollect tha!
Spann, of Webster county, and hi* guilty
paramour, who were convicted and sen
tenced to bo hung for the murder of
Spann's wife, have heretofore been respi
ted by Gov. Smith—the plea being made,
a little before the day set fir his execu
tion, that Spann was insane.
Thu Governor took a proper viow it,
that it the man waa really insane he
should not be hung, and thereforo respi
ted them both, till the proper investiga
tion could bo made. This has been done,
wo learn ; mid also atrong efforts and in
fluences have been brought to bear upon
the Governor to iuduco him further to
respite, or commute the pentence, or
grunt a pardon ; but after a careful con
sideration of the case. Governor Suiilh
refuses to interfere any further; and the
gnilty defiled creatures will be hanged.
We learn that some of Spann's female
relativea came in (airson, sought, and'Hib-
taiued, an interview with the Governor,
and with the deepest emotions besought
executive clemency; but he firmly refus
ed, considering n a sacred duty he owihI
to the majesty of the law not to interfere
with ita due execution in this case.

1872, as oompsretl with the seme date
‘171, fully IKK),000.
The*9 figures are rather startling, sad
may pomubly be too large; but we all
kuow beyond doubt that on September
lllli, 1S7I, the Kpinner* throughout tho
world held very much larger stock* than
at the name date thin year, and we think
that very few would estimate thia defi
ciency at lea* than 300.000 hales. Add to
this 100,000 deficiency iu heavy weight
and good cotton compared with amount
in sight last year, and 230,000 for defi
ciency on the pl-fiiitationa of the world,
and thia would make tho deficiency in
actual supply <130,Ooo boles.

Wash isoton, October 14.— A delega
tion of buHine** men nnd bankers from
your city wu* in thi* place on Saturday
last to hco thu President. I do not know
precisely the purposo of their visit, hut I
do know (his, that they went to tho Whito
11 oi iho and were received. In the course
of the ooiiferencc, which lasted an hour,
the quantum woh put to the President iu
the luoMt categorical way : Did he pro-
po*e, if he Khould be re-elected, to con
tinue Mr. Routwcll a* hi* Secretary of the
Treasury ? The President replied in gen
eral terms that be wa* not ranch ot a
financier himself, but he wa* generally
advised and thought ho himself, that tho
financial policy of the Administration
wa* one of ita greatest successes. He
wan again asked : “Do yon propone to re
ts iu Mr. Bout well, &* your remark* lead
us to infer?" The President answered
vaguely, aud the question wa* plnraply
put to him again. He roplied that that
wa* something which uo one waa entitled
to domaud of him. lie had his own poli
cy for the future us in the past, and he
meant to koep hi** own counsel about it.

Gvweley may count for sure unon 1413
electoral votes, aud Grant can only oount
upon 120. There are atilt nine Statea to
be fought for. We want tirenty^me
vote* out of tbe nine to win, while Grant
must carry tixtyfour to beat a*. In
home-racing any one would take inch a
field and bet odds. If our folk* don't
luse heart, and fight it out, wa may vet
win on the home stretch. Bnt oome who!
may, it ia of the aupremeet importance
that the Southern people ahonld oaaqaie
aud keep control of their owu Stato gov
ernments, and the greater the danger of
Grant's re-election tbe more overpower
ing is the need to exclude the alien ear-
pot-bagger and the domestic renegade
from ml power over onr domestic affairs.
The Wonder* of Paper Manufacture.
Thore aoema to be no limit to the variona
transformations of tlie numerous varie
ties of papor under skillful manipulation.
In tbi* country their une* already vary
from thu newspaper to billiard ball*, anils
of cloth*ng, aud even to ear wheels. We
are now told that the German manufac
turer* have been very aacceaafnl in the
prodnjfiion of paper end cloth from corn

Amelia paper mills working on rags.
Tbe husks, it appears, are first boiled with
an alkali in tabular boilers, sa a result of
which the fibres of the basks are found at
tho bottom of the boiler in a spongy con
dition, filled with a glutinous aubataooe or
dough, which latter ia pressed oat from
the fihree by hydraulic presses, leaving
the fibre in the shape of longitudinal
threads, interape red with a dense maos of
short fibre. Linen that is mode from
theso long fibres is said to furnish a very
good substitute for the ooaraer kind* of
lax and hem, while it ia superior to jate,
gunny doth and the like. The paper, for
which mostly the short fibres ere aeod—
the long fibres constituting the material
for spinning—ia stronger thau papers ef
the seme weight made from linen or cot
ton ng*. r l he hardness and firmness of
grain characterizing the paper thus made
are said to even exceed tint of the best
made Rogtish paper*. Its durability ez-
oeeds that of paper produced from any
other substance, and it etm be made ex-
tremely transparent without sacrificing
any portion of it* strength. Tbe fibre is
ceeily worked, either alone or mixed with
rags, into the finest writing or printing
papers, and it readily takes nny tint or
color that may be desired. The yield of
thu busks employed for the pnrpoAe la
said to be as follows: Thirty pur cent, of
fibre, ten of gluten and sixty of dough.—
