On Weduroday, before Commisrionor
Hwayz#, twfritytthroe citizens of Macon
vftro arraigned #h charges of violation o(
the Enforcement act. Distrito Attorney
Farrow appeared for lb# prosecution, and
n strong array of tbo Macon bar for
the defence. The District Attorney an
nounced that ho proposed first to put
upon elimination those of the prisoners
charged with participation in the Macon I
riot; and the priNonern having docided to
sever, the case of Mr. Tbeo. W. El'is wus
timt taken up.
The first witness called for the prosecn-
tion wan Judgo Ward, Ordinary of the
county. Ho testified to a conference held
with a number of the most prominent
citizens, an to tbo propriety of oj>ening a
nocond voting place In the city. The con
ference resulted in the conclusion that it
could not legally be done. Judge Ward
then had • fence constructed no an to
make two approaches to the polling win
dow, with a view to prevent crowding,
but did not know whether the fence waa
there on the day of the oloctlon or not.
He did not Attend the oleetion, and knew
nothing personally about the diainrhnnoe.
Judge U. B. Cole, of the Circuit Court,
was the nckt witness for the Government,
lie snid that many people bad told him
that they hail feara that the blacka would
attempt to take (KMaansion of the pells on
the day of the election, on they did on a
previous occasion ; that ho diroctod the
Sheriff to swear in half a dozen or a duznn
good men, white and black, as special
bailiffs ; that on the day of the election,
hearing that there was a probability of a
collision, bo spoke to Jeff Long, the
leader of tho blacks, tolling him that he
waa tho only man who could control the
people of his color, and urging him to
do what ho could to preveut a eoliiaion,
pledging himaelf (Judge C.) to do wlmt
ho could to control the whites ; that Long
made no reply, and tho Judgo loti him
Htnndmg there. Wo copy Judge Cole's
account of what he witnessed afterwards:
I left him standing in the Htrnnt, and
ntatives { enmo into the Court House. Went to u
(■sard in i window which looks right over the polling
place. When I got to the window 1 never
saw the people crowded ill such close
proximity in my life. The black people
will require an interest, activity and vigil
iiiioo (apial lo that which animated them
in October. It is also of the highest im
portance that we should maintain, in the
vote for l'n idcniinl Electors, tho large
majority ciuJ for Gov. Smith. Tho only
danger that it will not lie maintained lies
in the possibility of u smaller vote on
Tuesday next in the relaxation of inter-
cat or /cal caused by the false assurance
I bat the victory hua already boon fully
won in Georgia. Let our friends guard
against thin error; let them forget tho
victory of October when they go into the
great eoiiti si of November, or remember
it only with the determination to repeat
and excel it. Let us make Georgia the
“banner Slute” of tho Union on the side
ol KHorm and Local Self Government.
Our friends over in Alabama are not so
free from danger so fur tin their State
Government is concerned. They have to
guard against its relapsing into the hands
of the carpet bagger and the scallawxg!
Let them nrotisn to n keen sense of the
dangers of their position. Democratic
activity or I is t leanness in nny one county
may turn the scale and result in incalcula
ble good or irretrievable ruin. Surely no
limn who loves his country, his principles,
his race, or his own interests, can afford
to let pmumnl disappointments or preju
dices nll'cct his course in view of so great
u p« ril uml so great a vespoimibility. Let
Aluhnma fully redeem herself on Tuesday
next, mid at the same time give to Greeley
mid Brown ten Electoral votes which nmy
decide the 1'reaideiitial coldest. The 5th
of November will be a memorable uml
momentous day for Alabama. Let her
people make it one to be forever held in
joyful remembrance!
A correspondence published in tho F.u-
faulft Timm discloses a pretty gauio of
deceit and treachery by the Radical load-
ers of Barbour county, Ala. The Chnirm in
mid Secretary of the Kudical Executive
Committee of Harbour wrote on the 28th
of October to the Clmirmuu of tho Doiuo-
eratie Executive Committee, soliciting co
operation in an effort to provout all din-
turbanccs mid have a fair and peaeeubh
election. Tho Democratic Chairman re
sponded in the name spirit, aud proumm.l
hit» hearty co-operation. But on tho fillth
tho Secretary of the ltadical Executive
Committee, who signed this hypocritical
appeal for peace ami good order, made mi
iulUmmatorv speech to tho negroes, ad
vising thorn to carry arms to tho election !
'The arrests of citi/ons of Wilkinson
county under tho Ru-Klux net does not
appear to have intimidated the people
much. On Tuesday last, ut tho special

follows: Beck, Deni., 724 ; Grecur.
Bad., 02.
The high handed proceedings of Grant’s
officials in New York clearly indicate that
the Administration will make a desperate
effort to carry that State. After the ox
periomv in lVnnsylvaiiia, tho Oovoru
ment believes itself able to coutrol the
election iu any Slate upon which it oon
cent rates its efforts and appliaucen ; ami
more than one account states that Hu
Kitdiculs are fully coiiscious that unions
they carry New York they must loao the
Presidential election.
'1 lie Manchester (N. 11.1 Union Raya:
“If Giant is re elected bis success will be
tbo best evidence iu the world that the
grand experiment of tree government in
this country has failed, and that no peo
ple are capable of governing themselves
for any definite period of time.”
And tho ( nion is right iu thin declara
tion, for if Grant is re-elected, it will not
be by, but <against the popular will. It
will bo by tho power of the pume and the
sword, used to defeat tho majority of the-
people.
'iho Savannah Republican save Judge
Krskino was engaged all day Wedueaday
siguing the appointments of the supervi
se of tho election in the Sonthorn dis
trict of this State. There were about four
hundred supervisors appointed.
The Kicliinoud Whig, in reply to the
assert ion that i u votiug for Mr. Greeley
bis past course is iudorsed,says very truly:
“We have nothing i u tho world to do
with Mr. Grct-ley s post—-it hi his present
and future that wo are dealing with. If
be will givo us real peace and good gov-
ernmeut as be promises to do, aud we b#.
lievo will do to tho full extent of his pow
er, it is all we usk of him.”
A Western dispatch states that ilio
Board of Health of New York and two
hundred and fifty leading physicians of
tho city express tho opinion that tbo
“horse malady” will probably soon aUjm)»
fmUi
one, but it were here ((Hiiuting toward tho rear i
tier of the court room; and the white
people were there (pointing toward the
front corner.) Tho iilaok* were much Iho
more uiimuroiiH and were presaing the
whip a buck. I believed the whites would
crowd'd hack and would be driven
ay by the biacipt. When I first raine
the corner, Indore coming up-stair*, l
intended to go down, but nsw that tho
thick (list I was afraid of
being crushed to death. I had no fear of
utiyhody huniug mo. I could not reeog-
ybody, white or black, when l
went to the orner and looked down.
When I wout to tho window ami looked
down, 1 saw men that I knew, hut Very
few. J saw Ed Mhuhecker and Dr. Col
lins. 1 know them well. 1 have knowu
them all their lives. They were a iittlu
outside tho great press. I riaw a negro
grab at Mr. Htroboeker two or thrao times
and try lo pull him down. Mr. Htroheekcr
pushed him back, lie appeared to bo
trying to drag Mr. Hlrohecker down the
terrace to get bis place. He waa evidently
catching ami trying to drag him down, I
Dr. CollitiM prut l v uoatly in tho sstne
position. I was satisfied tbo blacks would
Hooti drive the whites back and got |ss4-
Nossiou of tho polls. 1 think I saw an
ther whito person that I know tn the
Haute position, but I do not call to mind
who ho was. 1 could form no opinion as
to how many of either aide were there.
D appeared to me that tlio crowd of col
orad men was twioo as large as that of the
whites. They worn slowly but atondily
pressing the whites liaok. While I was
looking, off to tho right 1 hoard a moat
terrific oath. It was a terribly hitter oath.
I looked in that direction and aaw two or
throe block men. One of thorn ropcated
the oath. While 1 was looking a brickbat
eauio with great force and struck the
Court House. 1 draw my head iu, aud
two or threo more hriokhuts cnuio in
rapid succession from tho same direction.
About a second iutervenod between the
last brickbat and the first pistol shot.
Another pistol Hlmt followed iu about a
second. When the brick was thrown 1
drew my head in and Ktnod aside, aud
when tho firing commenced I staid there.
Tho man who threw the first brick was a
black mail. 1 didn’t moo who throw the
others. All woro standing at tho place
from whence the brickn camo. I could
not identify the man who threw tho brick.
1 did not notice his clothing. He had on
a hat. I hour be was a colored man, for
l aaw him. He was very dark. 1 saw his
hand move and saw him throw the brick
bat. 1 uin euro it waa a piece of a brick.
My attention was attracted to bins by tho
horid oath whuh came from him. Hhoot-
iug tbou commenced. 1 cannot say how
many allots wore tired—some twenty or
thirty perhaps. I did not ace any one
tire. 1 do not kuow who fired. I think
the brick went a little over the head* of
the oruwd. No one stated to me bin pur
pose to have ft difficulty that day. All
who Hpikti, urged mo to go there to t ry
aud prevent n difficulty. It was appre*-
lumded that tho black people wonld get
poHseasioii of tho |u>lla as they did in
1870. | Witness hero explained how the
negroes took posscsnioii of the |h>1In on

On Tuesday tho 5th inst. thn great
(fOestiua is to be decided, whether the
ptpplo of UM United Btalc* ore slid the
roliiig p0*»r hi this country, or whether
the Federal Government haa become loo
strong for tho people. The extraordinary
pectnciu is presented of au Adminis
tration exerting all its energies for tfre
retention of its rule—the members of
I be UsUxict having deserted their official
duties and taken to the stump ; tho Fed
eral office-holders having all beou called
upon aud com|xdtod to appropriate a purl
of their salaries for electioneering pur
poses ; the money obtained from the
Treasury being used without stint to carry
the elections ; the Dwh being so executed
to punish one party for acts such as tho
other may commit with impunity; and
the Federal military being scut into u
number of tbe Ktates to supervise tho
elections in the interest of the party in
power. All the machinery of the Gov
ernment is thus brought directly lo bear
upon tho contest, and brings to its sup
port u force so groat as to make even a
weak party formidable, and to secure the
party in power from defeat unions Iho
iinbnuuod popular mujoiity against it is
overwhelmingly large.
Iu view of the proximity of the elec
tion, it may he opj ortuue to make a brief
nmuinc of tho position of the Democratic
party and its course in the canvass, and
fur this purpose we adopt tho clear state
ment of the Baltimore dinette: Early in
tho struggle it was deemed wise and pru
dent fhat the Democracy of tho nation
should not put into the field any ono of
their own well known leaders, hut that, iu
obedience to the popular desire for re
form iu tho administration of the Gov
ernment, a Liberal Republican, with a
properly constituted platform, should he
ucccpted as the best meaUH of accom
plishing tho dcsiro of a largo portion of
tho American people. In calmly yielding
to the ournust demands of tho popular
voice, tho Democracy mudo no sacrifice
of principle, nor did they, iu uiiy partic
ular, abandon any part of their timo
ll on or od organization. After the Liberal
Republican movement had culminated in
tho Cincinnati nominations, the Demo
cratic party assembled iu National Con
vention ill Baltimore, each .Stale and Ter
ritory being fully and fairly represented,
and, by formal ballot, and with tlio iiHtial
forms of tho party, placed before tho
nation Horace Greeley and B. Grot/ Brown
as tho regular Democratic candidates for
Freaidont and Vico President of the
United ttliitca. Although Ibis step needed
au amount of pHtriotiMu and sull-sucri-
llciug devotion rarely demanded of a
party, it waa cheerfully taken by tho rep
resontutivea of tho Democracy, and their
actiou wus uiithuaisHtically endorsed by
tho Democratic musses, from Maine to
California.
As regards their nominee for the Presi
dency, it is impossible to regard him with
uiiy other footings than those of sincere
respect and admiration. Horace Greeley
stands lit thia tune before the country as
the embodiment of a gruut principle,
which, sooner or iator, must bo in the
ascendant, if tho liberties of this country
arc to bo preserved. The key note of tho
Cincinnati movement was reform iu all
the various branches of the Government.
This iueludos not ouly tho gouoral policy
of the Administration, but tho luoro vital
uml important ono to us of tho sulfuriug
South, of u total and cutiro change of
policy towards the cotujuorod portions oi
the Republic, llocouciliutiou is to go
hand in huud with reconstruction, and a
generous oblivion of the past is to take
the place of hurslmesg und carpet-bag
misrule. Tho rights of all tho people of
all the States are lo bo os solemnly uml
strictly recognized iu tho futuro manage
ment of uffairs, os they had beou under
tho old compact beforo it wuh rudely
broken by tho rough blows of civil con
flict. Ah tho great champion of this
form lloraco Groolcy is now rcoogui/.od
by tho Democrats and Liberal Kopubli
caiie of tho country. Bold, honest, (oar-
Iohh, iadustriouH, und uudouiahly able, tlm
suffrages of the pooplo aro asked for him,
because it in believed thut, if oloctod, 1m
will conduct, not only himself, but tlm
Government iu all its details, in such a
way os to make the nation ready what it
was intended to ho by ila founders. In
such au omorgeucy, au appeal to the De
mocracy to givo him their united and
enthusiastic support is almost a work of
Hti|»erurogAtiou. Duty and patriotism both
command it, and that the injunction will
he obeyed by the Democratic masses, for
their owu safety and security, we cannot
for au iustaut doubt. Apathy now
criminal. Lukowarmuoss is scarcely less
reprehensible than open defection. Thu
place of overy Democrat is at the |hi11h
ou Tuesday next, to vote himself, aud noo
thut none of his Democratic neighbors fail
to exercise tho right of suffrage.
Aud now the Hon. Philip Clayton—who
was too “straight” a Democrat to vote
for Greeley, and who accepted a negro
Rail oul nomination for Oougress in his
District- has written a letter to Wushing-
tou grossly abusive of the whito people
of Georgia, declaring that the late elec
tion was a farce, that the difficulty at Ma-
cou was premeditated by the Democrats,
that the l. p »th Amendment is a nullity in
Georgia, Ac., Ac. All of which goes to
show that the Hon. Phil made a very
“straight” shoot from Democracy to the
rankest Radicalism, aud stopped at uo
half-way house in his course.

gives the following incident as proof of
nis assert iou:
Iu Jefferson county, iu this State, Mr.
Coly Babcock, in l.s4A, wishing to pur
chase two pairs of shoes, went to bis
country atore aud found the merchant
had tho shoes he desired; ono pair nt
ninety cents and tho other nt seveuty-five
cents. Thia was considered an uxhorbi-
taut pi ice, which ho Uecliued to |*y, but
would go to bt. Louis v the head market.)
This was a distance cf eighty miles from
his residence, but ho shouldered his rifle,
put some “corn-dodgf r” aud salt in his
shot-bag and started ou foot, killiug birds
for meat, and lying at night l>y cuuip
fires of tuarketeip, which were plenty ut
that time. Arriving at the Mississippi at

fouud that it would cost inui five cents to
cross tho river. He was uiortithd to tiud
that he would thou he obliged to break iu
upon his shoe money, but succumbed nt
last, went over to tho city, and purchased
two pairs of shoes at a cost of forty and
sixty cenla. , On returning home he found
he had cleared sixty oouls,loa* the for?
nape by hi* trip.
Walking nighty miles lo save this
amount may took absurd, but dollars wore

The New York World, iu view of tho
near approach of thn day of the Presiden
tial eleotiou, addresses the following time
ly words to its lenders :
Wo appeal to the ooiisoieiiceK, to the
sentiment of justice, and to the wish for
economy in the Federal Administration,
if all citi/.ius who regard theso hh impor
tant would oouio to tho |hj|Ih, Mr. Gree
ley’n election would bo assured. We do
not uppeal to the horse-race and cock pit
view of politics* Wo will uot addruesar-
giimeiit* to men who have no higher wish
than to be on the winning side, if politi
cal activity is a game of chance, it makes
little difference how* men vote. But no
citizen who stands on principle will per
mit his vole lo ho inffuoiiccd by a calcula
tion of chances. U luou of abiding con-
victioUH should happen to lose one elec
tion, they have such ooufideuoo iu the ul-
tirn do ttiiuuph of the light, that they will
luutbhul themselves for a now battle.
Tho Democratic party roliea for itsauaoess
on tLo steady fidelity of this o'ass of men;
aud if nobody were inlluouocd by irrele

tion would l>o assured. If be is defeat
ed, it will be by Iho riffraff thst sway from

defeat for so many years, will as hereto

tho uncertain } oh tied horoscope, for
guidance how to vote. If they succeed,
tin ir success will mouu something; if they
fail, they will still bo of almost equal ser
vice to tho country as a vigorous opposi
tion. The only true way is for meu to
vote according to their convictions, trust
ing to the virtue of their fellow-citizens
to make tho truth triumphant. If all
Democrats uml all Liberal Republicans
will vote iu accordauoo with their coovio-
tiona there can lo uo reasonable doubt of

We dvapiKu it. We should be ashamed to
usk a citizen to vote for Greeley on do
better grouud than the oertainty of his
election. \Ye urge Democrat* to support
him because he represents principles
whieh the Democratic party regards an
important. Tho question whether h* will
succeed iu the election is subordinate to
the greater question whether be ought to
succeed. This lust to the ouly question
w hioli we urge Democrat* to consider. If
Democrats aud Liberal Republicans vote
for Greeley with an eye single to the prin
ciples be represents, he will either be
elected, or else the oppoaitiuu will be
strong enough to keep the Administration
iu four. Either result will be a public
gain, aud one or the other we are certain
to achieve. Whether we succeed or fail,
no true Democrat or Liberal Kepubiioan
will vote agaitist his conscience because
political gamblers fancy that Grant wifi
he re-elected. Democrats will stand by
ibuir colors and thear candid*tes, with full
fuith iu popular virtue, and uudoubtiug
assurance that the people will follow the
tight.

Wahninotom, Oct. 211.—Although the
Un ted Staten Supreme Court lias met
without auy flourish of trumpets, it is
known that its docket is rich in coses of
imnurtanao and interest to the public as
well as tbo legul profession. Tbe first in
order of cams held under advisement is
that of Tliomna Jefferson Green, of 8oulh
Carolina, petitioner, involving tbe consti
tutionality of tbe cotebrated KnKlux law
of Congress. This casa haa been argued
by Ilou. Reverdy Johnson for the peti
tioner, and the date of the petition to Un
certain. It is not likely tnat lodgment
will be pronounced before the Docember
term.
Another exceedingly interesting case to
that of Mrs. Myra Rradwell vs. the State
of Illinois. This case tuvolvet (he ques
tion whether a married woman bun tho
right under the Fourteenth auiondmeut
to praotiee law. It is held that the clause
thereof which says that no State shall
pans any law which shall abridge the priv
ilege and immunities of citizens of the
United States guarantees thia right. The
cam* will probably not be declued till the
ea«e of the Butcher*' Benevolent Associ
ation of New Orleans to decided, for the
reason that this last case also involves
the construction of the Fourteenth
amcnduieut. The Now Orleans case haa
b< en onco argued, and to ordered to be
reargued early in December. The case
grows out of tbe extraordinary grant l>y
the city of New Orleans to fifteen butch
ers exclusively for twenty-five years.
There are five cases under advisement,
in which Wm. H. Barnes to a party vo.
certain railroad companies. They involve
the question whether the act of Congress,
approved noth of June, 18GI, authorises
the levy and collection of a tax on divi
dends declared by railroad companies to
18tVJ, but declared to be payable at a time
after December fil, of that year, and
therefore not receivable by stockholders
uutii the year 1070.
The foadltloB of Oar Cettaa Plasters.
We have just returned from a visit to
Dooly oouuty, and in going and returning
passed through a region of the ooUoa
belt immediately on the Flint river, e dia-
tsuce of twenty-five milea, which enabled
us to observe tbe condition of the pleats*
lions ou our route. We have never sees
anything to equal the disaster novr befall- ■
iug ootlou planters on account of the
steknoas aud tho scarcity of haoda. Tha
cotton fields, with a few exceptions, after
wo cross* J tho line of Dougherty, appear
to have been nntouohed by the “picker,"
while every boll to open end much of th#
cotton haa fallen out and to being bo bed
by the accumulating dust. A more faverv
able aesaou for picking cotton than our
planters have had for tbe laat alt weeks
has never been known, bnt to hundreds
of them it has only proven their helpless
ness, and that cotton ennnot be success
fully cultivated and gathered by hirelings,
who refuse to work but by tbe month, and
whose labor at the moat critical periods
utterly faito to supply the demand.
Thousands of pouude of cotton in thia
section of Georgia, we are disposed to
believe, will bo left to fall from the op#n
bolls and rot to the fields on acoount of
the inefficiency of our present system of
labor.
Rains have now sat in, and nro likely to
continue for weeks, greatly to tbe dtooom*
furl and injury of many n farmer, who
icoultl have availed himaelf of Dp lat#
dry spell, but could not. The toes of Ihto
j ear's hard labor, iu a number of in-
stances, is the fearful penalty for the rin
of cultivating cotton instead of corn,
when the latter would have paid W#ttor

of free labor. TLey can ouly IUwuUum-

Georgia. I know to the eyt* of some tbe **
people committed a very grave offence
for independently thinking and actiog for
thcfuselvea in tbe matter of commiting
themselves to the Clhcionsti platform and
to the support of Mr. Greeley, but they
did it to spite of (he leaders and io tbe
faee of Mr. A. n. 8’. folurinations, aud
he knows what I write hero on those
point* are stubborn facta; ho knows fur
ther, tnat the people of the Democratic
party of Georgia did not commit them
selves to the support of Mr. Greeley “as
a choice of evils.” They took him bt-
c * one he ntood upon a platform Of princi
ples that proclaimed the great doctrines
of equality to the citizen and noninter
ference with local self-government by tlio
federal Government; honesty and capaci
ty as the true tests for office.
Tbe members of the Convention of July
c >n!d not commit tho people, not the
“masses,” of the Democratic parly of
Georgia to any one, for they had commit
ted tbe members to the support of Mr.
Oroeley. They were chosen for that pur
pose. In that instance tbe people were
not the alave*, but the master* of the
leaders or politiciann, and It did my
heart good to see and know it. The peo
ple are of ton treated by leaders
“masses,” or beards of cattle, driven
thither and hitber iuto this or that politi
cal pasturage, but In this instance they
did not wait for the advice of pestiferous
leaders, they bid tbo politicians follow,
and follow they did.
The late elocliuns have by no means
“demonstrated that there is no rational
prospect for Mr. Greeley’s election,
tbe contrary his prospects are stronger
and brighter than Geu. Harrison's were
after the October elections in 1040, and
Mr. A. H. 8. knows that to be a fact,
u not the first time Mr. A. H. H. has pre
dicted political results from Lis aotion,
some of whone baleful effects the people
of Georgia have severely felt.
Tbe “Greeley ticket to kept up in Geor
gia” to coutrol tbe leaders or politicians.
Tbo people of the Democratic party con
solidated themselves on “that platform
of principles” last May, and which reached
tbo climax of “endorsement” in July by
seven hundred delegates bent by Iho peo
ple of tbe Democralio party oi the ditl'tr-
eut Htatea, to meet tn convention, indorso
tbe Cincinnati platform aud nominate

Is uot that a fact ?
The Greeley ticket is knpt np iu Geor

Tho Mtuon cotton receipts for Septem
ber aim October, 1872, wore 20,722 balon.
For heptsiultcr and October, 1870, they
were 27,701 bulc-s. For September and
October, 1871, they were Hi,050 bales.
It will thus bo seen that our receipts
this Full sro 4,miff bales in excess of 1871,
and 7,01'J bales bvhiuti those of 1870.
Tbe cotton rt/coipts uf Macon for tlio
year ending August 111, 1871, were !■!», I Iff
Dales, and for tue year ending August fit,
1872, tbsy were 54,400, showing a falling
utl of 45,U U» bulos. Speculations are sl-
togelber premature noon wbat tbe rehi-
tivo cotton receipts of Mucon this year
are likely to be. Among the factors tbo
gsueral ides seouis to be, that the receipts
will be brought up with s rouud turn ut a
very early period of the season. Our
own idea to, that the receipts may over
run those of lost year from 10 to 15 per
cent., but not wore.—Telegraph, 2d.
Montgomery bus already received half
ns much cotton ns she received during tbe
whole of last year. Her receipts to tho

8,120 bales in excess of tbe receipts to
the corrcNpoudiug dnlu lost year. But
her weekly receipts bavo already touched
their maximum, whereas last year they
did nut reach thoir maximum until tbo
15th of December. Tbe ratio oi receipts
no to that time was to tbe total receipts
oi th© season as fit» is to 52. Tho ratio of
ro#sipts to th# first of November was to
tbe total receipts as 18 is to 52. This
yonr these two ratios coincide on tbo 1st
of November, Boeing our estimate,
therefore, ou a mean between tbe pro
ducts of tho said ratios, wo bavo 57,057 ns
th©probable receipts at this place for tbo
entire season. Tho total receipts for tho
month of Octolier woro 15,ono bales,

In North Carolina, whore anti-Groeley

they have at lust an electoral ticket in tbo
field. The proceedings of tbe State con

names given in the whole report. Theso
are James M. Isbell, E. 11. Britton and 8.

returned thanks, whereupon it was
“Resolved, That we | Flournoy, Isbell

Tills harmoniously and enthuNiaHtically
accomplished, I'lonrnoy and Isbell wero
appointed a committee to frame an elec

The Arkansas Game to he Played
in Kuv West.—Monroe county, Florida,
to whieh to situated tbe tolsud of Key
West, has the largest foreign bum popu
lation of auy of tho Florida couutic-H.—
Ever since the Cuban hegira from Ha
vana iu 18<»8, a large colony of Cubans
have lived iu Key West, snd adopted that
island as their home. These sober and
industrious citizens have now the right
to vote, and, indeed, for two years past
hav# participated to the local elections.
Owing to the 8punish policy of Grant's
administration, end the bad character of
the Federal officials of Key West, the Co
hans to a man are opponents of the Ad
ministration. We are now informed by
a Cuban resident in this city that the ex-
ihast Key West will not be permitted to
*to# .for electors in November. Their
yoting strength to between ono snd two
thousand, which is quito an important
matter itt such a sparsely populated 8tat#
as Florida.—Fzchangc."

riroall packages of merchandise, not ex-
o#eding twelve ounces in weight, corn-
posed s •' dry material uot calculated to
damage the mafia, msy bo mailed to on#
address for two cents for ouch two ounces,
tta, prepaid by postage stamps, if not

th# address.
It should be distinctly understood that
every parcel should bo fastened iu such a
manner as will render an examination of
its contents possible, and must contain
mo writtog except the address. Questions
continually arise a* to bow the law is to
be interpreted iu certain cases. Hitherto
the authorities at Washington bavo given
it a liberal construction. Milliners, sten
cil plate makers, makers of printers' ma
terials, and booksellers, are prominent
among th# new patrons of the office. The
Express companies are lowering their
rates on small articles. A vast increase
of the buslnoaa of the Post Office De
