Wo biive Liken no part in tbo discus
sion through the press of the claim* or
nir>ritH of the several distinguished gen
tlemen who l.avc been nauml in counoc-
tiou with tbo succession of the Hon.
Joshua Hill iu the Senate of the United
Suites. It is rather a lustier of prtdo that
Georgia has so many distinguished houh
worthy of the position, than an opportu
nity to he seized for saying a word in dis
paragement of either of them. Happily
the Democratic members of the Legislu-
turo are so strong in numbers ns to pre
vent the possibility "of tbo election of any
man not acceptable to tbo majority, for
the Kadi cals bavo not membera enough
in both Lottsoa to onablo them to defeat
the favorite of the Democracy by bar
gaining or intrigue. Wo nood, there
fore, give oiyselvon no uuea*iinesH as to
the result of the election, having an as
sn ranee that if our own poraoual choice
does not succeed, the Senator will cer
tainly be the choice of u majority of the
representatives of the party.
An Atlanta correspondent, whoao lotter
we copied yesterday, and who baa hereto
fore shown that lie is an unprejudiced
and well-informed political observer, re
gards the contest as likely to bo narrowed
down to a choice between (ion. llonry L.
Henning, (ion. John 11. Gordon, lion.
Benj. 11. Hill, and Hon. Horachel V. J
Johnson. Surely this array of names,
fiom whom u choice is most likely to be
made, ought to bn accepted as an assur
ance tlmt Georgia will soon again be
fully represented in the Senate by gentle
men eminently worthy of the conlidcnce
and pride of her people. Should our own
distinguished fcllow-citizon, Gen. Henry
L Kenning, he the ehoico of the Legisla
ture, w« should rejoice at so fitting a re-
c *giiitn»i of his abilities as a jurist and a
poliiit iaii and his valuable services both
in the tented field ami in civil life. Gen.
John If. Gordon has won the warm re
gards of the people throughout the State
by his gallant leadership in war and liia
brilliant advocacy of the rights of the
State and the people in the hardly less
tumultuous period succeeding the war.
So with the lion. Itcnj. II. Hill: consplc
ii .us, daring and faithful in ull our late
trying vicissitudes, bo ndda to an honora
ble past our cor talents that would make
J.im the peer of any man in the Senate.
Jiu.i. 11 V. Johnson is another distin
guished gentleman whom the poople of
Georgia have long delighted to honor,
who has served Ihotn with on tiro accept
ance and much ability in many high posi
tions, and who would doubtless serve
them with equal acceptability in tbo Sen
ate at this time.
Should the olioicn bn nmdo between
those four gentlemen, while wo would
bail with approval the election of either,
our only regret would bn that Georgia
could mil send them ull to the Semite to
o.nvlneo tbo country that neither war
in»r oppression has deprived her of states-
nioti and orators equal to those of any
Slate iu the Union.
In the Political **H float om** at II a ml f
Tho Now York Herald of the 19th inat.,
in a long editorial, regards the late Presi
dential election as likely to be a repeti
tion. in iU results, of that which gave
President Monroo a second term, which
broke up old party organizations und
brought about an ora of sectional recon
ciliation and gonerr.I good feeling. I'
says that it has Assurance* that General
Grant looks upon it in this light, and in
stances n modification of the Kuklnx laws
and a general amnesty us probable recom
mendations of his first message. It sug
gests that the President has found the
Kuklux laws “too harsh to reach tho ob
ject desired,” and that his future policy
will “embrace a complete obliteration of
martial law and rebel disabilities."
When wo bear in mind tho fact that
President Grant is personally responsible
for the institution of martial law in the
Southern States (tho act of Congress bo-
ing permissive only; and for tho partial
inode of its execution by which it has
been brought to bear only on tho political
opponenta of tho President and used for
tho ini vantage of Ida party, wo are not
prepared to credit the suggestion of the
Herald that it wus his constitutional duty
to “take oaro that the laws are faithfully
executed” that made him enforce them at
all. Such equivocation is not good evi
dence of a sincere desire to correct errors.
But to return to the article of the
Herald. It closes with the following
pleasing picturo of the efforts of Presi
dent Grant's “new policy of iccoucihit-
lion":
isidcnl
Grant has apisnnted Cameron's f.ivorito
Pcm(nmater of Philadelphia is significant
of something more than a mere personal
triumph. The contest rw between an
active politician, favored i>y Cameron,
ilartranft und other corrupt Radical lead
ers of Pennsylvania, and a Post office
clerk who hud proven hi* competency
wild fidelity by years of servico. The mo-
called rules of the civil service reform, to
which Geu. Grant had pledged his obser
vance, called for the appointment of the
man of fried capacity and integrity, and
it was telegraphed a few days since that
Grunt hud signified to Cameron and
others that he must adhere to his pledge;
whereupon there was rejoicing Hud con
gratulation on the part of the Now York
HeraUl, Formy's Press, and other Re
publican advocates (if reform. But it ap
pears that “the tables are turned’': Cam
eron and his “ring” have brought strong
er influences to bear on the President,
and their favoiite triumphs at hist! The
mail who had given assurance that he
would make a good and honest officer is
set aside, tho civil service rules nro ig
nored, and the appointment is give
nn unscrupulous partisan as a reward for
his services in the late extraordinary can
vass in Pennsylvania. And so, there is
good reason to fear, it will be with all the
promises of independence and reform
made for Geu. Grant. When the pinch
comes the party pressure will most prob
ably bo found too great for him to resist,

Tho niitnorouH arrests, by
officials, of Hoot ion managers in (he
South who refused lo receive or to count
uh many votes for tho Grant Electors or
Radical State tickets ns they desired to
bavo counted, indicates a premeditated
purpose to contest and overrule tho elec
tions in these States if necessary to |
vent tho defeat of Grant. Wo have
porta of the resort to Ihiskiudof proco
ings to “regulate' the (‘lection at Savan
nah und Albany, I hi., nt Now Orleans, in
various places in Alabama, and several in
Florida. They may not anywhere be
pressed with vigor, as such memo ires are
not needed to insure thu ro-Heolion of
Grant, and they may not even change the
results of local elections; but the aban
donment of them when not needed
affords no assurance that they would not
have been sternly and unscrupulously
flushed if necessary to tlio accomplish
ment of an important political purpose.
These proceedings constitute a part of a
plan ot operations thut plainly reveals tLo
intoution of the Radical party to carry tho
Presidential election iu spite of popular
opposition and iu utter disregard of the
local laws and usages that lmvo heretofore
prevailed on such occasions.

The vote of ihiH State iu the Presiden

by a fair counting of the legal votes.

The Savannah papers give assuroncoa
that the transportation of cotton through
Ihe streets of their city will not be inter
rupted by the horse malady. The Central
Railroad Company have constructed u

The “road steamer" belonging to tho

Gonernl Grunt owes his ro-elootion vary

Iii tho Superior Court of Bibb county,
on Thursday, Moses Lucas, a negro, was
introduced im n witness in behalf of a
negro burglar named Thornton Carter.
He tried to impeach the testimony of his
own daughter, who was a witness against
Carter, and this led to on investigation of
their family matters, which showed that
Lucas had abandoned his wife, the mother
of tho daughter whose character he was
impeaching, and had unlawfully marriod
another woman. Tho Court thereupon
ordered Lucas into custody to uwait a
trial for bigamy.
The two Representatives of Jjoo county,
Ala., Messrs. H. If. Jones and Thomas
Ruddy, meet with tho Democrats in tho

Lawrence appear to bo acting with tho
Radicals.
Tho New York Times says that “since
tho election indications have been multi
plying in curtain quarters that (ton. Grant
will soon lmvo no supporters so fulsome
and unquestioning as he will find uuioug
those who sought most strenuously to se
cure his defeat," and udds that “they
want utfico, aud can got it from no one
else during tho next four years.” We
hope tlmt tho Times is presuming too
much on quasi Democratic support of
Gen. Grant iu tho lute canvass. It was,
wo think, more a matter of personal hos
tility to Mr. Greeley than a hearty lean
ing towards Geu. Graut. There may bo
hero and there nil exception—such as the
Hon. l’hil Clayton, who was too Demo
cratic to support Grooley, but not too
Democratic to support Graut; hut ho
found very few followers iu tho late elec
tion, and we hcliovo that fewer will fol
low hiiu hereafter into tho Grant camp.
The Charleston /.Ypublican .organ of the
party of that name iu South Carolina,
sneers at hoiuo Democrat* for supporting
E liott, a negro, as a “ehoico of evils,"
for United States Seuator. lt says that
“they want the colored people to ruu Re-
publicaiiisiu into the ground, and disgust
tbr national parti/, by representing South
Carolina with a colored delegation, ignor
ing others on account of color."
Aud this is Radical love for the negro.
We always knew it to amount to that, but
did not expect so caudal an avowal. Re
publicanism w ill be ruu into the grouud,
aud the Radical party of the nation will
be disgusted, by tbo election of a negro
to the United Stalos Senate! Aud this
notwithstanding the fact thut the Radical
party of South Carolina is a negro party
and could ouly be represented fitly iu
every respect by colored Congressmen.
The Radical majority of the South Caro
lina Legislature is composed iu ita larger
part of negroes, and the Democratic white
members probably hold tho halauco of I
power betweeu thorn and the white Radi
cals. Wo hopo that tbo Democrats will
so act as to “disgust" national Radicalism
to the last dogrec, unless iudeed the white
Radicals are ready to eaoapo the disgust
by helpiug to elect a Democratic Senator.

Dutiiig the progross of tho llro, a young

A Washington special to tho Evening
Post says : Thero is good reason for be
hoving that tho President will, in his
forthcoming message, recommend Con
gress to complete tho work of amnesty
by making it universal, aud by restoring
those to citizouship who are now excluded
by tho third section of tho Uthamcud-
taunt to the constitution. Such u course
hint been urged upon the Prosideut by
Hovoral members of cabinet, and one ot
them is the authority for sayiug that he
has decided to do so.
The United States Marshal at New Or
leans made application to the President
by telegraph Saturday Inst for troops to
aid him in arresting curtain persons who
were conspiring against the election laws
and who manifested an intention to resist
the federal authorities. Tbo President
promptly refused to comply with this re
quest, deeming such action entirely un
necessary, especially when there \vss no
information showing that the civil author
ities wore powerless to execute tho laws
and puuish those who attempted to violate
them.
Tho action of tho United States Mar
shal in Alabama in arresting Democratic
members of tho Legislature for alleged
violation of the election laws, and carry
ing them to Mobile to prevent a quorum
of thu Legislature, is severely coudcmued
by tlio Aduiiuistratiou as uuwise, unnec
essary, and perhaps illegal. If the ac
count of thu affair telegraphed North is
eorreot, the Marshal who made the arrests
will receive a severe reprimand, if not the
greater punishment of being dismissed
from office. Such is the expressed view
of Attorney General Williams.
A late dispatch from Washington says
that the Collector of the First Georgia
District has been ordered to mako a rein-
vestigatiou of the case against the Geor
gia Railroad and Ranking Company, of
Augusta; that the case is similar to those
recently settled against the Central and
other railroade of Georgia, which were in
charge of the same officer.
While Englaud, France and Germany
are seriously discussing tho alarming
prospecta of a failure of fuel by tho ex-
J * *
hauslion of the Luropeau coal beds, a
similar fear has arisen in Russia, which
depends almost entirely upon wood. Ac
cording to the Russian papers, the forests
of that country arc disappearing so rap
idly that a scarcity of wood must eusue
very aoou. On the Volga river tho price
has advanoed almost one hundred per
oent. Explorations have been made for
coal, but without any result thus far. In
the meauwhile a meeting of proprietors
and onltivalors of forests is being held iu
Mosoow, at which it is expected that
■tringeut rules will be adoptod to regulate
the cutting of wood for railways, distille
ries and sugar manufactories, which are
at prsaent consuming immense quantities
of wood.

iu tho Western portion of the couuty near

forms us that there were forty whites
within four miles of him who did uot vote
ut the late election. At Pine Level, iu
Montgomery county, sixty-six did not
vote, and at Mount Hilliard, iu this coun
ty, forty failed to do so. Our correspond
ent says hn is afraid we have gone
“where thu woodbine twiueth." 'ihe
sumo apathy prevailed throughout the
couuty, atui all over the State, aud ac
counts for the late “Waterloo defeat"
experienced by the Greeley and Herndon
tickets. If evil comes to the State under
thu Republican rule to which this apathy
has once more remitted it, the white vo
ters of Alabama, who folded their arms in
stolid iudiflereuce, and refused to vote on
the 5tb inst., will have the sod consola
tion of knowing they could have prevent

Tho London correspondent of tho To

“It is said that Lord Walter Campbell,
w ho was lately iu a mercantile firm in New
York, wished to marry an American young
lady of good position iu the Empire State.
Upon his applying to tho young lady's
fuiher, the parent stated that ho alway s
referred ull those questions to his wite.

nothiug without Priuco Bismarck s opin

A leading New York merchant, in dis

chants ought to realize that another such
sweeping fire will impoverish aud break

I believe now that we have not sufficient

that after our fire iu 1835 tho insurance
companies here united in opposition to
underwriting* on buildings over four sto

subject was so strongly advocated that a
long line of buildings ou Platt street were
reduced to the requisite height. Build

high, und there are buildings even now iu

warn us of a great firo here, and it is now
time to discuss this question. I have bad
some experience of tires, though not se
riously disastrous, and I find that the in
surance I have taken on my property is
no insurance at all. lt might ss well not
be insured. I have been carting goods to
distant places to-day from my warehouses,
because the insurance system is not safe.

siugor in Israel, Eliza Snow, who ha*
written the hymns sung iu tho Salt Lake
Tabernacle, and who varies her exorcise*

for Mormon newspapers. It is hinted
that Brigham Young has designs upon the

would boa tedious and costly mulertuk-

certainly be less painful to erect d new

nacles have always been iu fashion, than
to win some other region as sterile ns tho
Rocky Mountains, to new forms of beuii-
