Carteilville, November 23, 1876. THE PRESIDENTIAL SITCAHON. We sire* no better prepared to indi cate anything like Rn approach to a solution oPthe Presidential question than we were last week. What may be the end of it must be left to time and the fhonesty of a fair count in the three throttled States of Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina. if justice can be secured in the count in those States, Tilden will be our next President. If Radicalism should be too sharp irad its power wiekled with too much adroitness Tilden will he defeated. We have, hope however, that prominent Northern Democratic leaders looking afte* the interests of the three States named, will see to it that a fair and honest count is made. We give as follows the sub stance of the latest information from the points of interest as we condense them from shespeial telegrams to the Atlanta Constitution of yesterday. In Florida, on Tuesday, the Demo crats obtained a tempoary injunction restraining the Governor from, can vassing the vote of electors, or issuing his certificates to any electors. He is ordered to appear before the court to-day, and show why he should hot be permanently restrained from can vasssng the votes. Another order was obtained compelling the board of State canvassers to appear also to day and show why they should not proceed at once to the canvass of returns. The casses hang on each other. The Democrats are very much encouraged over their victory the Republicans are badly demoralized. They did not not suspect that pro ceedings had been instituted until the papers of the court were served on them. They are in aflutter, and the more desperate are advising the Gov ernor that he Is above t he reach of an injunction, and should disregard it. He says lie has not made up his mind a to what course he will pursue. This is the situation : The Democrats have the legal majority and have an unassailable defence of their majority. It now appears that they will get a fair hearing. There is no doubt that. theXßivernor did intend to u>urp the fundions of the board,and would have issued the certificates, ere this had he imagined the Democrats were before the courts, veiy smart man. The Louisiana returning hoard in dicated Hgns of weakening on Tues day in conceding to Ex-Governor Wickliffe the light as one of the Democratic electors to remain and watch its canvass. When the board proceeded to work, it turned 'mt all the spectators as on previous day with the execution of the two advising cotiimiooiiono from iho MorlK, at which action Gov. Gov. Wicklifle pro tested in the most decided terms. He then addressed a communication to the board, asserting his right as a candidate, to be present, and received a reply informing him that he would be admitted. AsGovenior Wickliffe is thoroughly familiar with all the circumstances bearing on the election liia presence will be of much assis tance to the advising eommitte of Northern Democrats. As the pre cedent has now been set, other can didates must Be accorded the right to be present, and the returning board will not be abiealtogether to hide their light under a bushel. There was considerable rejoicing among the couversatives at the unexpected re sult of the hold action of Governor Wickliffe. The hoard has not made much progress in Its two days’ march. It canvassed the vote of only six undisputed parishes Tuesday laying aside one in which intimida tion was alleged, and another there were imperfect electoral tickets. Things are rather quiet now, except that there are all sorts of rumors which are apparently have no foun dation, but the excitement will amount to fever heat as soon as the board commences ou the disputed parishes. The South Carolina board, under compulsion, on 1 uesday, made a re turn to the supreme court. By it the returns made in the face of the county eaYassers’ returns, it is claim ed that, the Hayes electoral ticket has received majorities varying from three to eleven hundred; thto the Republicans have elected three mem bers of Congress, the State Treasurer, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Adjutant General, and and retain their majority in the State Senate; while the Democrats from the re turns elect two members to Congress, the Comptroller General, Superin-* teodeut of Education, and also a large majority in the lower houae of leg islature. When this return was ex amined before the court, the counsel lor the Democrats asked for two or - ders, which were filed. The first relative to members of the Legisla ture and of Congress requires the board to issue certificates of election in accordance with their return. The second order is to set aside the return of the hoard on account of discrepan cies between the county canvassers’ statements and the returns of the managers of election, and other frauds charged agaihst the board, and i supported by affidavits show ing discrepancies between the county canvassers’ statement and the returns of the managers of election ; and affidavits showing that the election was held ait a precint not nut horized by law. It further requires the board to bring into court the papers upon which their return is based, so that the.eourt itself may inquire into these discrepancies. The court then passed a formal order for the of the various cases included ; in the petition for a mandamus , which causes every class of officers voted for to Ui taken iijq Cfeuvostfal anU , ly. The court iuuonued that it would first take up th tn so of the members of the They require that any exception to the canvassers’ returns should be filed at once. After issuing this order the court adjournd until yesterday. The democrats desire to commence with the members of the legislature first. The Legislature is ,to. meet next Tuesday, when the first duty will be the canvassing of the returns for gov enor and lieutenant govenor. The very latest important news will he found on the next page of this paper. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. No party has existed in these Uni ted states more unscrupulous in its usurpations than the Republican par ty. In 1867, when it set to work to overturn all constitutional law in the reconstruction of the Southern States, it was backed by the military arm of the Federal government, which was then ruled and swayed by the pas si rs and prejudices engendered by the war between the States. Amend ments were engrafted upon the Con stitution at the point of the bayonet. Locahself-government was ruled at the mere waving of a sword, and military satraps were the rulers and lords of the Southern States. Virtue and intelligence were made sub servient to the dictum of vice and ignorance and the better class of the Southern people were politically os tracised and State governments were placed in the handsof scallawags and carpet-baggers who robbed the public treasury at will. The leaders of the party became so hold and defiant in the power they held at the point of the bayonet that they hesitated at no monstrosity in political matters that would augment or perpetuate their power. The doc trine of paramount government was set upand the rights of soveregn States were absolutely ignored as the claims of petty States would be in a gov ernment of despotism. So monstrous has been the policy of that party tiiat the people have become aroused in behalf of public liberty, and by a popular uprising have elected Gover nor Tilden, of New York, as their President. Goaded to desperation at the loss of power, the Republican party now seeks through its leaders to overthrow the popular will by every species of rascality known to man, and they will not swerve from their infamous efforts to defraud the Democracy of the great victory won in behalf of and by the honest people of the country. Florida, Louisiana and South Caro lina have become the great centres of their diabolical purposes. In these States they have held sway with des potic rule. They have so formed the laws of those States that they feel themselves secure in tlie perpetration of any fraud that may be necessary to carry out their hellish purposes in defeating the popular will. Unscru pulous as the devil, they do no', hesi tate to resort to any strategem to ma nipulate the ballot-box to accomplish their ends. If they succeed, public liberty in this country is worthless and revolution on the part of a free people is justifiable, and they cannot be blamed from wresting govern ment from the hands of conspirators who are determined to subvert all government to compass their diaboil cal objects. The leaders of the Republican par ty, then, are conspirators against public liberty. Those who sympa thise with that party are particeps crimhtis in its record of fraud and corruption and the unsurpations being enacted by that party, and is, therefore, no true friend to public lib erty. It the people of this country are true to themselves they will not submit to the outrages of the Re publican party and the success of its leaders in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina should be the signa for the uprising of the patriotic peo ple of the country to resist it. No people can be free who will submit to such monstrous outrage upou public liberty. We should deprecate war. We have no desire to see it inaugurated. But what is liberty when it is to be perverted for partisan purposes? What is freedom when the highest act of freedom, the exercise of the elective franchise, is to be throttled by political miscreants to carry par tisanends? Where is the purity of the ballot-box, the palladium of lib erty,the citadel of freedom itself,when it is to be stuffed and its decisions thwarted and throttled by the leaders off aparty who hold power only to defeat the popular will. These are the fruits of the rule of the Republican party. If the people are true to themselves the sword and bayonet will glister in every Slate before it will be submitted to. TAE COPUi Alt VOTE.

It is estimated that the total vote will reach 7,610,000. The New York Graphic ean maces Gov. Tilden’s ma- < joriiy on the popular vote at 297,000. Over 1,000,000 more votes wore cast UU’tjoU Uiuil iu I THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. This body will assemble early in January. The most important duty before ft will he to call a constitution al convention, or refuse to respond to the popular will in this respect. There can be no question that a very large and growing majority of the people of Georgia are in favor of a change in our State constitution. This has been evident for a number of years; hut under one pretext and another the will of the people has been disregarded and sot at naught. Will theLegislaiure now longer hesi tate to represent the people? The next question of importance is the election of an United States Sena tor. Who will be the lucky man in the political wheel of fortune- time alone can decide. Hon. T. M. Nor wood and lion. B. H. Hill are the most prominent aspirants. Several other gentlemen are spoken of, among them Hon. H. V. Johnson and Gen. L. J. Gartrell. Another important office to fill is that of State printer. There are sev eral candidates for the position. Mr, James P. Harrison, of Atlanta, is a candidate, and is prepared to do the work in splendid style. If we were not about half way a candidate our self, we should go for Harrison two to one of all in the field. He is a practical printer, and we are opposed to all other sort of men filling the office. The only reason that we are not a full candidate for State printer is, that we know we have no tact for the “combining” and “trickery” nec essary in a race of the sort. We have served the Democracy pretty faith fully and would like to have ihe office, as it is in our line of promotion as a practical printer. If the Legis lature will consider a man’s claims upon personal merit alone and on ac count of personal service to the De mocracy, we shall appear upon the outer edge as a candidate fur State printer. Can we hope or not? As we have been in service fora quarter of a century, we should like to have a little show at the rewards distrib uted to faithful advocates of Democ racy . There is one feature of the past Leg islatures in Georgia we trust will be discarded by the present, and that is the everlasting and infernal local leg islation that isn’t worth a continental kuss to the people generally. It is about time we had more of whole some general legislation and less of the peanut kind. Every little legislator imagines himself under special obli gation to get up some sort of little hill that will hand liis name down to posterity for at least forty days, and that consumes hundreds of dollars of the people’s money. If there is any patriotism in the great bulk of the intelligence of the Legislature it is hoped a “head” will be put upon these cross-roau statesmen that only twinkle as very small orbits in the political constellation of a county notoriety. Retrenchment and reform have been greatly spoken of by aspirants in the late campaign. Many local orators aspiring to legislative honors have befuddled the people of their respective counties with their crude and incoherent ideas of this great idea only to find themselves beaten at the ballot-box. Others have won upon their devotion to that subject. It is reasonable to suppose that at least a majority of the new Legisla ture have been elected upon some sort of pledge of reform in the State gov ernment, and thus we have hope that the tax-payers of Georgia will realize some relief from burdensome taxa tion through the incoming Leg islature. Of all the interests of the State ihat need the greatest amount of protec tion is that of our agricultural inter ests. Upon these rest all other in terests. Unless our farming inter ests are relieved of burdensome taxa tion there can be no prosperity of any class of our people. Without pros perity for the tillers of the soil there can be no prosperity for any branch of business. Therefore, we trust the approaching Legislature will look well to the agricultural interests of the State and throw around that branch of the State’s industry every protection and encouragement neces sary to make it prosperous and ie munerating. These are some of the points we make in regard to the Georgia Leg islature soon to assemble. If the members will heed our notes of warn ing they may accomplish something for the good of the State. ATLANTA CONSTITUTION. In the same issue of the Atlanta Constitution giving the information that Ex-Gov. Ishara G. Harris, of Tennessee, is being urged for U. S. Senator, and that “Sitting Bull has no under-shirt,” it is seated that Mr. Joe C. Harris, late of the Savannah News, is permanently engaged upon that paper as an editorial writer. We congratulate our confrere upon securing the services of such an able “trained journalist” upon its columns for certainly Mr. Harris is the wittiest man of the Georgia press, and can write an editorial columbiad with equfal acility and pungency that he canget off original jokes. There is not a better place in Georgia for Joe Har ris to radiete from than Atlanta. And we may say, with no dispar agement to the abilities of other ed itorial writers upon the Constitution, that Mr. Harris’ work upon its col umns has been perceptible for sever al weeks. With Grady as a light ning reporter and a brazen interview er ; with Widby as a faithful chroni eior of local affairs; with Finch as a steady editorial writer; with Evan Howell in his little private room to direct the sly work of poli tics in his paper, and with Hemphill to “take in’” the money, there is no reason why the Constitution shouldn’t be the best paper iu the State. It is taking long steps in that direction. More anon, perhaps. We should be so glad to receive a Ruuie paper on the day of its publi* putibpi TiyiPfSOF THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE The attempt of the Republican party through the agency of its po litical nlanipulatiou by the unserupu lous leaders of that party to steal the Presidency is a question that absorbs as much of Southern thought as it does that of the >orth. The temper of the Southern people is to wait and see what their Northern friends will do. Whatever is done to meet the exigency of a foul conspiracy to de fraud the popular will in this respect must be inaugurated by the Northern Democracy. If they are true to con stitutional liberty and are ready to maintain the great principle of the purity of the ballot-box, they will find their Southern brethren ready to give them every moral and physical force necessary to maintain the right. The Southern people have no de sire for war. They have had a sur feit of that. But they are, neverthe less, true to the great principles ot public liberty, one of the greatest of which is the purity of the ballot-box. No power ou earth can swerve the Southern heait from its convictions in this respect; and if it is necessary they will shed their blood and ex pend their wasted fortunes to defend it. II) other words, the day that the Northern Democracy fiud it neces cary to defend public liberty by phys ical force they will find a solid South to stand by them. This is said in no threatening spirit, hut in the sober ness of earnest truth—a truth the Re publican conspirators against public liberty may as well understand at once. If Tilden is counted out by fraudu lent manipulation and the Northern Democracy chose to resist ihe out rage, and the resistance comes to physical force, a solid South may be counted upon as a full hand in the great drama that is to decide the cause of republican government in this country. The people of the South are looking on quietly and hopefully for the triumph of the right and the c iuse of justice. If Hayes has been justly elected, and a fair and honora ble count shows it, they will patrioti cally submit to the great popular de cision and trust in God for better luck four years hence. But we say to day, if Hayes has not been elected and Tilden has, and our Northern friends make any sort of an issue to defend the right, the peo ple of the South will give them all the moral and physical force neces sary to vindicate republican govern ment in this country. Not a single Dabney man lias said to us ‘-stop my pa pi l” on account ot its advocacy of Dr. Felton. We g ; ve them credit for their good sense and will now say to them though ene mies in war, pt ace we are Irieiids. —Cherokee Georg inn. Brother Brewster gave us the same informaiion verbally. We wisii we could say as much on account of The Express. We are glad the Dabney men of Cherokee are willing to allow Brother Brewster the light of ex pressing his opinions upon public questions, but are at the same time willing to kupport their county pa per. They and the Chorekee Georgi an will agree on many other public question quite as material to the in terests of the country. All men can not agree in everything. The ticket voted in Louisiana con tained forty-three names, and was nearly one-half a yard long—every officer from President to constable to be elected in the State was voted for on that day and on the same ticket— five constitutional amendments were also voted for or gainst: Ist. To re duce expenditures of the Legislature. 2d. Relative to Governor’s signature to bills. 3d. Abolishing parish courts. 4th. Reducing Governor’s salary. sth. Abolishing ad fees of the treasurer, auditor, attorney gen eral and district attorney. We do not wonder that the negroes got be wildered. We have an invitation to a debate at Acworth, to-morrow night, by the Acworth Literary Society. If possi ble we shall attend, as we always feel inclined to encourage all efforts upon the part of young men to improve themselves. The question of debate will be, “Was Aaron Burra patriot?” —Messrs. Alva C. Rooney, W. K. Fielder and C. M. Horch in the affir mative, and Messrs. W. H. Penkin son, J. J. Northeutt and O. Awtrey in the negative. There is a vacancy in the Chatham county delegation to the Legislature, and Mr. J. H. Estill, of the Savannah News, is spoken of as a proper person to tiil it. If any iran deserves espe cial honor from the people of that county it is certainly Estill. Tlieie is no truer man in Georgia, as his whole record will show. Let Chat ham honor herself and one of her best citizens by electing Estill as a member of the Legislature. Mr. E. P. Speer, who writes a pret ty good hand, is a candidate for clerk of the House of Representatives. He is one of the cleverest fellows in the State, and, if ejected, he will do the office justice and perform itsdulies in regulative style and at a greatly de creased expense to the State of Geor gia. We have so many personal friends who are candidates for this office we don’t know which to sup port. But we are open to conviction. The poet-laureate of Carroll county, R. J. Gaines, in a poem scented with cologne and other perfumes, says: For when I breathed the tale ol love, Her looks—her melting eyes replied. For an old bachelor of forty years, or a little leßs, such tenderness of ex pression is really aggravating to a man who can’t embrace the whole thing, The Radical scoundrels in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina are trying very hard to “hog” the De mocracy out of a well-earned victory. Hargrove, Sheatsand the rest of them in this district are interested in that game. - .TW Will somebody send The Express a Democratic rooster as soon as Til* tlhfUon is sbUlfcd ? NORTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE. As this ecclesiastical body meets at Sparta on the 6th proximo, we give certain matters of information that may interest our Methodist friends who may desire to attend. A notice from a committee of gentlemen states that members attending the Confer ence wiii be returned free on presen tation of certificates from the Secre tary of Conference to the conductors, stating that the holder had been in attendance—paid full faregoing, etc. This applies to the following ra i roads: Western Atlantic Railroad. Rome Railroad, Atlantia & West Point Railroad, Atlanta & Richmond Air-Line Railroad, North East Railroad and Central Railroad. Over Georgia Railroad pay full faregoing, and ask for returnticket where yo u take the cars. Get certificate of Sec retary on said return ticket. Parties interested will please send immediately, to Rev. G. H. Patillo, Sparta, trie names of Lay Delegates, Applicants for Admission, Candi dates for Orders, and of those 'who expect to go to Conference by pri vate conveyance, Also the names of any who do not expect to attend Conference. Visiting brethren of other Conferences will please notify him of their purpose to attend. The following is the schedule times of the trains reaching Sparta: Day train from Macon arrives at Sparta at 8:36 p. m. Day train from Camak arrives at Sparta at 3:00 p. m. Night train from Macon ana Camak meet at Sparta at Ip. m. No one will meet these (night) trains. Day trains from Augusta and Atlanta connect with Sparta day train at Camak at 1 p. m. Nigh' train from Atlanta connects with Sparta day train at Macon at 5 a. m. D~. Redfield, the Southern corres pondentaf the Cincinnatti Commer cial, telegraphs from New Orleans as follows: ‘‘lnvustijr t tkins convinces me that the Re ptihlic.tns have overdrawn the amount of in ti uii tation in the disputed parishes, ami lam not now sure that Hayes will have a majority if the hour-*t acts with Strict fairness and im partiality The New York Sun says investi gation has had a si miliar effect upon the mind of every competent Repub lican observer who has gone on to New Orleans to learn the thrutb, not to hide the truth. We have just received Vick’s Floral Guide for 1877. It is a splen did specimen of typography and fancy printing. Vick’s garden is situated in Rochester, N. Y., and is the most popular in the United States, so far as we know. The Guide is published four times a year at 25 cents per copy, and is fully worth four times the amount. Our lady friends desiring something real ly elegant and nice, either in the horticultural or floral lino, will do well to address James Vick. The Atlanta Constitution says Gen eral Gordon, who has been in Colum bia, S. C., in the interest of the dem ocrats proposes to stay there until the end is reaohed. TheGenerai has done good service iri Carolina. He has been alert and watchful, and his ad vice has materially aided the citizens of that state in sustaining their cause. We trust he will yet be suc cessful. President Grant is concentrating quite a military force at the Federal capital. Counting all the arms, with the marine and military force in the city, there are about 1,200. There is no excitement about the matter. The district government is a very feeble affair, and there have already been signs of turbulence. Col. R. J. Gaines, the poet-laureate of Carroll county, is writing verses to the Atlanta Constitution on the deli cate subject of “The Kiss of Love.’ When we remember that the author is a darned old bachelor, the question naturally arises, what in the devil does he know about it? All the counties in Georgia have been officially heard from, except Pickens. Tilden got 129,750 and Hayes 49,332 votes, giving the for mer a majority of 80,418. Add 300 more from Pickens, and we have the banner majority of the country—Bo,- 7iß. _ For years we have been trying to make a great paper of the A'lanta Constitution. At last Evan Howell has bought a big interest in it, and we’ve got Joe Harris upon it. With Grady in Florida for it. the Constitu tion is a huge concern. Brother Ilillie Billiard, the inde pendent candidate for Congress in the fourth district, was sadly defeated by Henry R. Harris. Brother Billiard lives in a district where nothing save Democratic organization is known. If Tilden is fraudulently counted out as the elected President of the United States, the people may under stand at once that public liberty no longer exists in this country. The Georgia elections for ordinary, sheriff, clerk of superior court, coro ner, county surveyor, tax collector and tax receiver is on the first Wednesday in January. Will the people of this country sub mit to a false count of the Presidt n tial vote in the States of Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina ? The papers will please announce C. II C. Willingham as a candidate for State p inter, if that office can be secured without “combining,” We are for peace, law and order, but are not willing to submit to the fraudulent election of a President of these United States.
