I ant fully aatiaflad that tbia ia a mere

thorn on notion, at onoe. In order that they
may not be entrapped by any aueh device,
but ou the oontrary, may be more vigilant
and thereby bolter prepend to meet and
overcome the monster, Radicalism, in

Hnob, freemen of Georgia and Alabama,
are to be your surrounding* when you go
to the poll* on the r>tb of November!
We are no longer to bavo a free popuUr
election for the Presidency, but the mili
tary power of the Federal Government ix
to be need to intimidate voter*! The
indignity and nanrpatlon is enough to
obliterate all party dixtluctious and unite
all wen, of every olaaa or color, iu e rex-
olote effort to defy and rebuke it. Wo
take it for granted that here, aa alaewhere
in Georgia, It will put to rest all attempts
to draw off votes for a third ticket, and
consolidate all opponents of centralixa-
tion and a military despotism in support
of tho only ticket that cau possibly heat
Grant. No intelligent Houtheru man can
fail to see that Grant's re-election by such
mcane involves tho establishment for an
indefinite time of a Federal Government
too xtrong for the poopie—of a military
despotism instead of a constitutional re
public—of a central power built upon tho
destruction of the rights of tho Htates
and the people. To lag behind now,
looking back for abstract priuciplos or
uiiuor issuos, would bo to trifle with tho
imminout perils of the country. For a
Houtheru umn, especially, to act such a
part, would be a folly too egregious for
comprehension or belief.
In this connection wo make the follow
ing pertinent extract of a communication
from Hussell county, Ala., written to
advise us of the quartering of United
Htates troops at Beale, but which waa an
ticipated by another letter:
After the recant frauds in the Northern
Htates in election* by the party in power,
ia it a rash vontaro to say that they are
sent and are part of a plan to try and
oarry the Htate for the present incuiubeut
In otfioe ? And, if such is the case, what
may wa expect if he ehould ouco more
obtain the reins of government ? Then
where will be our long-boasted freedom
of opinion, our universal rights as free
born citizens? Our old men will look
back on tho post with pleaanre and regret
that “they are gono--tbey are among the
thiugs that were—we shall never see their
liko again." Our middlo-aged may hop>
to aee freedom onoe more rostored, hut
vain will be the hopo, for freedom once
lost la hatd to bo reuainod. Our ohildreu
- well may we cry alas! that wo had auy,
for they will bo tho alavea of a despotism
more terribio than lCuxsia even ever saw.
Ought it uot to arouse every thinking
man, white and oolorod, and determine
him to do hia best to throw it off nnd
oomo forward manly to the battle?—
Barely, ono wook lost to his farm, or his
workshop, is better far than a lifetime to
slavery, aud that is tho ihsuo. Which is
preferred tho result will show. If every
mau will do what he fools in his heart to
bo right, Grant will be out of power; we
shall uot seo auy soldiers, aud all dwell in
brotherly love aud harmony. If right-
thinking men are negligent and careless,
farewell pcaco and happiness, and they
should say, or ought to be made to say,
what they will have to feel, welcome ty
rauuy and alavery!

The best illustration of thia oft-quoted
expression, to which wc can at present
refer, ia afforded by the conduct of some
negroes at Eufaula, ax reported by the
7Yt/tf« of that oity. It says that a gentle
man box been trying to get forty or fifty
metx to go to Apalaohloola to axsiat iu
getting out lumber and working about a
saw-iuill, and has offered from $1.25 to
>3 per day to a number of idle negroes
lying about Eufaula, and that though they
all expressed a desire to go, every one of
them refused to leave Eufaula uutil after
the election! The I'imee thinks that
41 ‘peremptory orders from their party lead
era" forbid their going. Whether this be
so or not, it shows a blind devotion to
party or a compactness of organisation
ia singular oontraat with the apathy of
many whites who will not neglect even
one day's work (some of them not a single
hoar’s) to attend an election on th* reault
of whioh they have so much at stake !
The Savannah Advertiser of Wednesday

The first form will be counted ax one vote
for each candidate. If more persons are
designated on a ballot for any office than
there are persons to be elected to that of
fice, or if more votes or parts ot votes
are designated on a ballot for representa
tives tbnn the voter is entitled to vote,
such part of the ticket shall not be count
ed for any candidate. Thus, if a voter
desires to vote three votes for one candi
date for representative he must erase the
names of all other candidates from bis bal
lot, and must bear in mind that be can
only vote three votes, and most appor
tion the same on the ballot before voting.

The Wab Claims or Darkeys.-—It
seems that tho imitative African ix afflict
ed with a desire to get hix linger iu that
war claims pie and enjoy some of the
fruits of hix patriotic loyalty to the hext
government. Yesterday evening four
colored individuals, all from SpringHcld,
Etflngham county, were marched into Jr*.
tico Elxingor's otlice by nu official who has
takeu their ImsinexH in charge, aud re-
quested to ho sworn upon cm turn nflhla-
vita of claims for prt v sions taken from
thorn iu December, 18bI, by Federal
troops. They all swore lustily to their
loyalty, nnd Hint they hud tievor given aid,
Ac., to the Confederate army, and ta tho
correctness of their claims. Thoxo claims
will now liavo to go boforo the Claims
Comuiissiouer, Virgil liiltyor, when they
will he properly fixed up aud forwarded
to Washington for finul adjudication.
The oolorod patriots in question and
the amounts of their claims are ax follows :
Limerick Murray (a queer nume for nu
African), claim 8*133 ftO; William Gohl-
win, claim Cicsar Houliu, claim
84ft3; Alfred Young, claim 8401.
These parties all swoar that provisions,
fenco rails, Ac., valued at the above
amount,were takeu from them by the Fed

been pretty well off during the war.

Qom PnacncxaLS! —The Columbus
Enquirer sake tbia question- “Does e
town like Talbotton most need railroad
facilities to take trade through it, or to
bring trade to It 7"
Experience has demonstrated thia foot,
when n town ia situated at n distance from
e large oity or commercial oeuter, on a
line of railway running post it, it usually
build, op and develop, to the extent of
the ooantry around it and support given
it by the population, depending largely
upon local tnfiuenoee for ita prosperity
end development. LaGrange, Forsyth,
Dawson and Outbbert ate illustrations of
this ptinoiple. A rood passing through
Talbotton, would be of greet benefit j bat
when Talbotton beentuea the terminal
point. Instead of n station, the advantag
es, in comparison, become incalculable.
A road from either Gan.va or Hamilton,
stopping et Talbotton, would double oar
population and oapitid; bat in either
eveut would carry off a large portion of
our trade, end richly compensate the aid
extended by either of the respective
cities. Geneva ta th* more natural outlet

been such that the committee feel justi

Truth About Horace Greeley.—Mr.
Greeley’s perxomil participation in the
campaign has been to his signal credit.
During two hundred apoeches, short snd
long, and for the most part suddun aud
impromptu, bo uttered no unwise word.
On tbe other band, these railway and bal
cony utterances demonxtrated to tbe
American people tbeiv author's uncommon
nobility of nnad and heart. Mr. Gree
ley, by his brief candidacy, has made a
•rest intellectual and moral impression.
L'his exhibition of magnificent common
sense in tbe candidate shows what a
rare and admirable behavior wo would
get from him in the Presidential chuir.
“Whatever happens in November," said
Mr. Greeley to a few friends the other
day, “I hop# it will be said of mo that I
have acted my part and done my duty
well." We believe that this tribute will
be universal and spontaneous throughout
the rauks of the Liberal Republieau aud
Democratic parties. From the beginning
of tbe canvass nutil now, nigh its close,
Mr. Greeley has grown steadily in the
rexpeot of his opponents anil the esteem
of his friend*. — Uolden Aye.

lieforo 1870 the negroes did not vote.
They wore put in that year, aud now raxt
not Jons than 1ft,000 votes. Without their
voto the Liberals would have elected
their ticket by about a thousand majority.
Thero were uot leas than 2ft,000 Demo
crats who did not vote at the late election,
tbo larger part of whom, wo think, will
be out and vote for Greeley in November.
The Liboralx have good reason to believe
that fully 10,000 Republicans, who voted
against General Wiley, Democrat, iu Oc
tober, will vote for Greeley, in Novem
ber, making a chsngo of 20,000 votes.
Our chancex of carrying the Stato arc
therefore find-rate. The Democrats aud
Liberal Republicans will have a majority
of two in tbe Ohio Htate Kouate at the
coiniug session of the Legislature. There
are seventeen Democrats and two Liber
als, viz., Heuator Casement, of Lake
County, and Heuator Gage, of Lucox.
This makes nineteen Liberals to seven
teen Grantites. In the House tho Uraut-
itea will not have over half a dozen ma
jority. Heuator Hhermon could hardly he
re-elected this winter.

oontixxecf, in au official investigation

fourth of the tex collected from the labor
ing mofrxcx ia lost or stolen before it
reaches the National Treasury ; a system
in which defalcation, peculation and rob.
bery are so frequent and of snub common
occurrence that the boxt argument that
can be made in favor of continuing the
present Administration in power was made
by Gou. Butler in his Wextern campaign—
that the official thieves are now full, and
being gorged, may not steal much more.
The canxe in which we sro struggling, and
in which we will continue to work, ix in
dued the cause of reform and purification,
ft strikes at a new aud marvellous dy
nasty of corruption in which the lust of
private gaiu has broken out with a vio
lence uud a contempt of morality not
hitherto kuown among the nations of the
earth for tho laat two hundred years. The
l'joxident himself has grown suddenly
aud enormously rich, uud, according to
the highest Republican testimony, he has
done xo upon the baiter ai d exohango of
official pairuuage for pay, while all his
kindred, immtdiato and remote, lineal
aud collateral, by blood and marriage, are
quartered on tbe public treasury aud fat
tening on its contents. The world has
seldom beheld a spectacle bo disgusting
aud revolting since the moat shamoleas
and venal periods of tho Roman Empire.
Aud if thia Administration ia continued iu

Already the liouoruble leadership of tho

There is authority for stating that the

by the Geneva arbitration will more than
cover tbe direct losoeo by the Alabama,
Florida, HbeQsndooh and thoir tenders.
Tho question of the ward of distribution
has bceu revised, viz: whether the insu
rance companies, who represent over half
theso claims for losses, ought to be paid
or not. Home persona argue that these
companies have already been compensa
ted by tho war rates of insurance they re
ceived, and that this part of the money
should go to the United Htates Govern
ment. It is maintained, however, in
semi-official circles that this question boa
been repeatedly raised before mixed tri
bunals like that of England and the United
Htates now setting in Washington, rad
that it baa always been derided that the
insurers ehould be anbotitnted in the place
of the insured in as** of Inessa. The ea
se* cited are those of th* ooavcntteci
with France in 1803 and 168R which were
to provide for captures and mmoo by tho
act of 8pain, being temflar In principle to
the present Alabama claims, whore it wo*
ruled iu favor of inouravn being paid. In
the cxee of 8p*in in 1819, Denmark In
1826, and Naples about the same year, (ha
Commissioners ruled the asm# way. Tho
same principle was affirmed by the United
Htate* Attorney General in the ease of
oertoin vessels chartered by tbe United
Bute* and late in Ite MimKeippi during
tbe late war. Baeh are the views which

that a commission or percentage will ba

The Coaritlo* of 9m. Gravity.
Mrs. Greeley atill lies in a critical con
dition at tho residence of Mr. Alvin J.
Johnson, on Fifty-Mventb street. Her
disease ix consumption, and she has boon
suffering from it for over ten years. Hho
went some yoarx ago to Nassau, and more
reoently to Europe, for the benefit of her
health, but tbe trips gave her no uiHterial
advantage, and in the most delicious cli
mates of Southern Europe she longed for
the air and wider of Chappaqtia. About
two weeks ago she asked to be removed
lo New York, where she could be in closer
communication with her friends, nnd, iu
accordance with that request, she was
conveyed to Mr. Johnson’s residence.
Mr. Johnxou and hix wife have been inti
mate friends of the family for ovor twelve
years, and at their house, as at Dr. Hay-
aid's, Mr. Slorrx', and the houses of other
friends, thero are rooms especially sot
asido as “Mr. Greeley’a rooms." Tbo
large rear parlor of Mr. Johnsons bouse
hex been devoted to the services of Mrs.
Greeley. Dr. Bxyard, the family physi
cian, attends hor, and her daughter Ida is
a never-absent watcher at her bedside.
Mr. Greeley himself isoonttantly at hand,
aud for several nights has had but little
rost, being awaked frequeutly daring tho
night hy the watcher*, with their fears at
the threatening condition of the iuvalid.
Through her long illness Mrs. Greeley has
beo. me so weak that she cannot raixe her
head from her pillow, and hor sick cough
is not audible outride the door of her
ahamber. Tbe loss of rest has told some
what upon Mr. Greeloy; but political dis
aster and his enforced inactivity, in the
very critical Um* of ao important a can
vass, are forgotten in tbe grief that over-
* uea him at th# sick bedside of his wife.
[Netr York Herald, 23d.
A curious theory relating to the history
of onoienl Israel is broached by Mr. J. H.
Barnett, a Hebrew scholar, who, writing
to tbe Jewish Chronicle, of London, con
tends that the Prophet Jeremiah migrated
to Ireland with the remnant of the tribe
of Judah, and that he wa* no other than
the celebrated Irish reformer and lawgiv
er Ollam Fola. Mr. Barnett also advan
ces tbe idea that the prophet brought
with him the Lie Fail, or Htone of Desti
ny, whioh waa subsequently conveyed by
au Irish priuce to Hootland for coronal iou
purposes, whence it was oenturies after
wards removed to Westminister Abbey by
Edward III., aino* which time all tho
King* rod Queens of England down to
Victoria have been crowned upon if.
Mr. Barnett says that this stone wm orig
inally kept in th* asnetuary of tbe first
temple of Jerusalem, and waa known as
“Jacob's Htone," and that it was the stone
to which Riog David referred as “tbe
stone which the builders rejected," but
whioh was destined for peculiar honors. "
John Forsyth, in a late letter to the
Mobile Register, soarifies Jeremiah Col-
btelh mhos Henry Wilson, after this fash
ion. Mr. Forsyth ask*: “How many
handred years will it take to inject into
tho triood of a puritanical aneak like Hen
ry Wilson one drop of the manliness,
dignity and seif-reapect that ia a race dis
tinction of (he people h* hate*, and, like
a coward, rdviles in their helplomnesH?
And yet th# people of the Booth are not
ao low that limy cannot look down apon
this churl to de*pi*e him. Bat, in one
aspect of the ease, Wilson put* his figure*
too low. It will uk* a thousand instead
of on hundred years of Radical rule of
the Wilson kind, to make thia people
“lovol" In the Wilson mdm. Home kinds
of dog* may lie leaked into on apparent
affection for their masters, bnt Wilson
and hi* coadjutors are laying up in the
heart of the Honth a treasniy of undying
hale for the hypocrite* who insult and
wrong, imprison and slay, in the proatita-
ted name of loyalty and Union."
