A Lesson to toe Learned from
the Western Elections.
While there is much in tlio Western
elec* ions calculated to enthuse the
Democracy and render brighter the
prospects of reform in November,
there is a lesson also to he learned,
and which should be impressed upon
the minds of every Democrat in the
land. Leaving out the fact that vic
torious parties frequently get over
confident and are met in succeeding
engagements, jubilent, but disorgan
ized masses only to be easily defeated,
there is an evidence of Republican
policy demonstrated by the elections
in Indiana and Ohio, of vital impor
tance to those who would reform the
Government of its abuses. With
keen foresight and shrewd policy,
they have male their fight entirely
upon the Congressional ticket. As
the result, we find that they have
gained eight Congressmen in the two
States. It is easy enough to perceive
that if they should again get possession
of the House of Representatives at
Washington, the President’s hands
would be tied so far as true reform is
concerned.
Let us hope that “ reform” is the
battle cry of every true Democrat,
aud that anything which defeats this
issue, is deserving of the most watch
ful attention. Napoleon marched his
army to Moscow* only to stand upon
the ashes of the once wealthy and
beautiful city.
Let us except no barreu victory,
but provide against every contingency
that may turn our hopes to ashes.
Let the Democracy guard well their
Congressional Districts everywhere.
Hen. M. C. Butler Swings
Dymanite Cliamtoerlain
on his “ Socktlollager.”
Gen. M. C. Butler is out in an an
swer to Chamberlains’ dymanite proc
lamation, which if be (Chamberlain)
lie dot hopelessly “case-hardened’’ with
in his" Radical shell, must certainly
have the effect to cause him about the
7th of November next, to seek shame
ful refuge iu the “ Pedee Swamp” and
there accommodating his physical pro
portions, to a hollow “gum tiee log”
plug each end with a 50 lb keg of nitro
glycerine and await, in the midst of his
disappointed rascality, a certain and
speedy translation “to the happy land
- of Canaan” > where no demoralizing or
intimidating “ nnlitary organizations”
exist, and where the promise of “ forty
acres aud n male ’ is more to be relied
upon, uttering as his departing procla-
< nation, “oh, that my whole tribe
, were now in full procession.’’
Athens and Atlanta.
We find in the Atlanta Times of the
12th, inst. a most interesting account
of the recently pleasant union between
Athens and Atlanta over our North
eastern Railroad. Below we extract a
set of most complimentary resolutions,
passed by the Atlanta visitors and
would that our space allowed the pre
sentation of the many good words con
tained in the lengthy account of this
most enjoyable occasion:
On the way home it was determined
to have some additional expression to
our appreciation of the splendid enter
tainment enjoyed at Athens, and an
impromptu meeting was organized by
calling Mr. Rawsou to the chair and
appointing Maj. Luekie secretary.
After various speeches, all complimen
tary to the good people of Athens, a
committee of three was appointed to
prepare suitable resolutions. Hon.
Henry Hillyer, J. C. Kimball and
Judge Cunningham were appointed,
and presented the following resolu
tions, which were unanimously adop
ted. to-wit:
Resolved, That the cordial recep
tion, distinguished courtesy, and gen
erous hospitality extended to this dele
gation by the citizens of Athens de
mands our most grateful acknowl
edgements and profound thanks.
Thnt to Col. R. L. Moss, superinten
dent, Capt. Turner, engineer, and Mr.
Hodgson, conductor of the Northeas
tern Railroad; and to His Honor
Mayor Talmadge, Col. Childs, Dr. H
H. Carlton, Dr. R. M. Smith, Chan
cellor Tucker, Capt. Williams; and to
Professors White and Charbonier, and
other distinguished citizens, we are in
debted for special and oft-repeated
courtesies.
Resolved, That the sulistantial con
struction, splendid condition and ad
mirable management of the North
eastern Railroad excites our admira
tion, and wins our entire confidence.
That the completion of this Road,
and the opening up of this new avenue
of trade and commerce, is of the high
est interest to the people of Atlanta,
and the enterprise should receive their
cordial support and liberal patronage.
Resolved, That to Win. Goodnow,
Esq , to whose enterprise and large-
hearted liberality we are indebted for
this delightful excursion and pleasant
intercourse with the good people of the
charming city of Athens, we return
our sincere thanks, and unanimously
vote him, not only a business manager
of more energy and sagacity, but the
prince of good fellows.”
The News from Indiana and
Ohio.
The Democracy have carried Indi
ana by 5000 majority. The Repub
licans have carried Ohio by 6000 ma
jority. West Virginia is Democratic
by 12,000 majority, with a “ Solid
South,” New York, New Jersey, and
Connecticut, the Democracy will carry
the November election easy. Leave
out Louisiana aud South Carolina, and
count in Indiana which we have just
carried, and we will still elect Tildeu
and Hendricks. Three cheers for
Tilden-, Hendricks and Reform.
Separation.
In being called upon to give up “our
Stovall,” who now has fonud such
pleasant and valuable quarters with
the C/uronicle and Sentinel, it would
be superfluous to say, we have well-
founded regrets at his separation
from his journalistic Alma Mater. To
attempt even an utterance in his be
half wp are restrained by the reflec
tion, that through the columns of the
Georgian, ho has said for himself
more than our pen could indite, acd
in his present connection, will doubt
less continue more ably and effectually
to do the same.
.The London Times says tlio wheat
crop of the United Kingdom, this
year, is far from abundant. This
arises chiefly from the fact that the
land devoted to wheat is now 678,000
acres less than the average acreage
of 1874 and the seven preceding
years. An emirfent English agricul
turalist says that the gross product
of the present crop is 10,600,000
quarters. Deducting 80,000 for seed
will leave 10,520,000 for consumption.
This will be the fourth year in suo'
cession in which America will be
called npon to supply wheat for
English consumption..
Savannah Victorious.
Owing to the almost depopulated
condition of Savannah, caused by the
sconrge of Yellow fever which has
driven from her limits every white cit
izen who could get away. The demo
cratic success at her late election was
most wonderful. In casting about to
account for this remarkable success of
the democracy, we came across a pri
vate letter to one of the Savannah ref
ugees in our city, and by his permis
sion we make the following extract,
giving just credit to one of her noble
citizens who is ever at the post of duty.
“ I sent you a telegram last night
giving the result of the election in
Chatham. The official count shows
that we beat them even worse than I
supposed. Taking everything into
consideration, our city depopulated the
absentees all white and democrats,
are you not surprised at the r«tHt
and don’t you think that* the bdys de
serve much credit? "Well I rather
think they do. We meant business.
We felt dial the honor of old Chatham
was confided to our keeping and we
were willing to assume the responsi
bility and do our level best.
Owing to the epidemic the Executive
Committee of the Democeatic party of
Chatham held no meeting, made no
arrangements, appointed no challen
gers, printed no tickets, but that man
Waring Russell that same man, who in
their ignorance of his worth curse and
abuse, fortunately was thePresideut of a
Democratic club, the only Doiuocratic
club in the county that was organized
by Russell, called the same together,
and to that club and him are the peo
ple of Chatham county indebted for
what I consider the most complete vic
tory that ever was won by the Democ
racy of Chatham. I regard Waring
Russell the most useful Democrat and
the hardest worker in the party to be
found in the county, no truer man ever
lived and as a politician he is about
ten feet taller than any other man in
this section of the State. . I am all se
rene, but sometimes get awful mad!
when a good citizen is taken off by this
terrible fever.” S.
Meeting the Sneer.
The Radical prints and speakers
take particular delight in styling the
present lower branch of Congress the
“ Confederate House.” Here is the
manly manner in which Gov. Hen
dricks pointedly meets the sneer:
“ Have yon been quite content to
hear the House called the • Confed
erate House?’ It is true, there are
many from the South who support
the Democratic party. Is that offen
sive to you ? They are chosen by
the people in pursuance of the Con
stitution. Would you have it other
wise? In .what respect have the
Sonthem Democrats in the Honse
offended the rights or honor of the
North ? Surely you will not say that
they have offended you in votincr to
reduce the national expenses thirty
million dollars ? Dealing fairly with
this subject, will you not admit that
it was honorable on their part to vote
to suoport the Centennial rather
than suffer the honor of the country
to be tarnished and onr pride humil
iated by a failure, after the Congress
of 1871 bad committed the 1 country
to the enterprise ? Was it not liberal
on their part to vote for the equaliza
tion of bounties among the soldieraof
the Federal army ? Their own con
stituents coaid nqt share therein, and
yet they supported the measure.

Chamberlains Proclamation.—
We are pleased to see that the New
York World, in a long article on
Chamberlains’ Proclamation agree?
with the views expressed by the
Georgian on the same subject, in
last weeks issue. We make the fols
lowing extract:
He assumes the existence of an
archy in Aiken and Barnwell coun
ties ns the ground for the disarming
of the white military elubs, not only
in those counties but throughont the
State. This disorder in Aiken and
Barnwell had its origin in the resist
ance of negro rioters to the lawful
authorities, and the interference of
the white citizaii.s was in obedience
to the call of an officer of tho Court
for aid. Granting that the proc
lamation was necessary for the .wel
fare of these two counties, however,
there yet remains no excuse for ex
tending its operation through the
State.
Law for the People.
Money paid under a misapprehen
sion of facts, may be recovered back.
Money voluntarily paid with a full
knowledge of the facts and circum
stances of the case, though in igno
rance of the legal i ights, cannot be
recovered back.
The assignment of a note, the pay
ment of which is secured' by mort
gage, carries the mortgage with it.
Payment to one partner is a pay
ment to both, unless strictly forbid
den.
A debtor has the right, at the time
of making a payment, to direct as to
what debt it shall he applied.
If a debtor fails to make such appli
cation, the creditor may apply the
money paid upon any demand against
the debtor which he may choose.
Where there is no place of pay
ment agreed upon, the debtor mnst
seek the creditor at his domicil or
place of business.
Upon the sale of any article, pay
ment is to be made on delivery, un
less some other time bo specified.
Allowing time for payment, will
not, however, vitiate the contract.
In cases of two sales of personal
property, both equally valid, his is
the better', right who first gets pos
session of the property.
No man can, by his sale, transfer
to another the right of ownership in
a thing wherein he himself has not
the right of property.

The Eastern Question.
A few years ago the occupation o
Servia by Russian troops, under any
pretence whatever, would have led En
gland to declare war against her. To
day Russia has incurred what she calls
“limited liability” by Russianizing the
Servian army and making the still
more aggressive proposition to occupy
Bulgaria, yet England’s only utter
ance is that she proposes to guarantee
the security of Constantinople, and
she is keeping nine iron-dads at the
foot of the Dardanelles to be ready to
sail into the Golden Horn. It is easy
to see that the talk about the Bulga
rian outrages and the sympathy for
the Christians expressed by the powers
interested in the Eastern question are
not to be considered the cause of the
pressure used upon the Porte. It is
the mastery of the outlet to the Medi
terranean and the vast possibilities
such mastery involves which is troub
ling England and Russia, for the says
ing attributed to Peter the Great that
“ be who rules at Constantinople will
rule the world,” is in a measure true
with reference to any nation but thl
Talks. In order to prevent Russia
from carrying out her suspected design
of securing Constantinople, England
will have to obtain the aid of Germany,
and it does not yet appear that the
Emperor William has any inclination
to throw any obstacles in the way of
his nephew, the Czar Alexander H.
Russia, with the mighty German em
pire for an ally, or that empire re
maining neutral, is evidently on fine
vanta;e ground.—Savannah News.
