OF MERIWETHER. —ln one oi Dickon’s novels, an old lady, took offence at a young mail and ever afterward, whenever she met him, she wanted to “chuck ! im out a winder.” She ought to be sent af ter Hilliard. Defaulting paymasters and other Re publican officials owe this government near’y $3, 000,000. The Grantadniiii istration makes no move to collect it or punish the rascals. Hilliard is down on “rings.” So far, so good. But (lien you’ll no tice, he’s fighting a “ring” to which all true white men of the country be long—the Democratic party. The only “ring” it now has, is the “ring" of tho'right metal. The charge that Samuel J. Tilden failed to give in bis income Tax at its proper value, is proven to be false in every particular. The charge was a coolly concocted Radical falsehood. 11 Hilliard’s election would not be detrimental to the interests of tho Democratic Party, why is it, that the Radicals of the district are giving him such a united support? Personally we have the highest regard for lion. Henry W. Hil liard, but as an Independent, O my ! how we don’t like him. The Democratic House savjcl the peop'e more than two million dollars on the postal appropriation. There was a grand Republican howl over it, but the mails come and go as promptly and re gularly as before. Mr. i/iiliard’s adherents are so few and far between,” that he has taken a Lamp to find them with. W The Griffin News says: Houston county deserves the title, “the ban ner county" of the State. With a clean Radical majority of 2,000, it gave Colquitt 1,800 majority. The Daweon Journal puts it pretty strong, thusiy: ’’Never go into a store where you’re not wanted. If a man wants you to come to his room he will invite you to do so: and if a //illiiard; Poor old blind-man: e’ll miss the road to Congress, f lie depends upon the flick ing uncertian light of the Geneva amp. —-**■ ■*— — Mr. Dennis eccentricity has led u into an 'unfortunate mistake. r Hilliard is not the choice of ae people, and he can be elected only by Eadical votes. Miss Bailie Means, daughter of Eev. Dr. Means, a most estimable young lady, is dead Tins pobioffice department is now known as the department of Indiana.

A Dem ocrat true and tried, ho is in every way worthy of the position. South West Georgia has never had a clerk, within our recollection, and we hope that they will rally around him and secure tiic position for him. THE ELECTION. The result of Tuesday’s election is not yet l'ully known. "West Virginia.—Democratic county tic ket generally e'eeted. Governor claimed by both parties. No defi nite information can bo obtained from Ohio and Indiana unt ext week. COLQUITT’S ?S tiORUTV Ninety-eight counties officially reported, gives Colquittoo,lso ina jority. The forty counties to come in will certainly increase the ma jority to 75,000. u i u;t t it its nrpivspa pkr Sl'Pi’OßTiiK, The Geneva Lamp lias declared in favor ot Mr. Hilliard for Con gress. The only r reason we can discover for this extraordinary course on the part of our highly es teemed cotemporary, is to be found in his eccentric humor. Mr. Den nis seems io have a passion for the novel and unique. Uc calls h.- spiev and ever readable paper, the Lamp, his stylo of composition is unusual; a vein of humorous eccen tricities runs through all his par agraphs, and this eccentricity is apparent in all he does. It is therefore fully’ in keeping with his practice as a newspaper man, f<>r him to support Jleii'.y W. Milliard. Oil, Wliiit a Change! MR. HILLIARD ON INDEPENDENTS. Mr. Hilliard is now condemning conventions as rings—political organ izations, from which he was only too glad to get a nomination. A writer in the West point News, in showing the inconsistencies of Mr. Hilliard in the days of his prime and the pres ent, when he is a ghost of the past, says: “We heard Mr. Hilliard on flic hustings so mercilessly excoriate Mi. Pugh for daring to present himself before the people of the Second Cor gressional District of Alabama as an Inpepcndent candidate against Mr. Hilliard himself- —the nominee of his party! He held him up to ridicule —he taunted him with allowing am bition to make him a traitor to bis party—bn said, with a curl of his bp, that he had been to easily seduced, and, turning round on his opponent be scornfully pointed his finger at him and said: “I commend to ldm and all others of ‘easy virtue’ the well known stanzas of Goldsmith: “When lovely woman stoops o folly, And finds too late that men betray, Tl’liat charm can soothe her melancholy What ert can wash her guilt away? “The y sit her guilt to cover, To bi le her shame ij om eveiy eye, To give repentrnee to her tover And wring his bosom—is to (lie. Might not we commend these stan zas to the Independent of our day, and must we not regret that Parson Hilliard cannot say with Parson Prim rose : “Age hath cooled my pnssto. s and my calling restra ns them ?” In 18GS, Georgia for President ] ■ ed 159,856 votes —Democratic ma jority 45,588. The same year for Governor the total vote was 159,946 —Kadical majority 6,898, In 1870, for Congress, total vote 162,879 — Democratic majority 25,947.

On January Ith, the conference oi the Grand Council of the United Slates of the Order of the American Alliance, met at Philadelphia, and nominated for President, Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio, and for Vice-Pies ident, William A. Wheeler, of Now York. On July sth, Governor Hayes re ceived a Committee of the Order at tho Continental Hotel, thanked them for the nomination, and accepted it. On July oth, in Columbus, Ohio, a sub-committee, of which William T Black, of Pennsylvania, was cha'r nnin, waited npon Governor Hayes, and presented him with the full Con stitution of the Order and the Oath, and informed him of his elcetiou as an honorary membr. The committee also handed him tho resolutions oi nomination. Hayes accepted the I'o^rarj^memberslii p and the nomi nation. On July 10th, Alfred E. Lee, Sec ret ivv to Governor Hayes, wrote to IL. S. Tyler, Box 2071, New Yotk, Secretary of the Order, tnauking the Alliance, and promising material ! aid. i On September 13th, A. E. Lc-e, Sec ! retnry, wrote to Colonel D.’Mark breit: “It is not, true that General Hayes i has given any assurance of sympa. thy with or indorsement of declara tions against the naturalization of foreigners, or the privileges of for eign born .citizens. “The story that Governor Hayes : ever indorsed such sehtii&ents. by letter, or otherwise, is utter'y false.” The Constitution of the Order pro i video “that tho object for which this | order is oganized is an amendment j of the Naturalization Laws, limiting the suffrage to persons born in tics country, or of American parents. The election of American born persons only to official positions in this coun try" The Oath of tho Order is : “I sol emnly swear that I will not vote for any person or persons for any o flic ini position who are not American born citizens” Governor Hayes was in possession , of the Constitution and the Oath. lie accepted tho nomination with full knowledge of their provisions. Lae, Lis secretary, absolutely de nied that Hayes had ev r indorsed | such principles by letter or other- I wise. Rutherford B. Hayes, ami Lee, Ins ! secretary, have deliberately lied to the American people, and stand con* victed of attempting io obtain the highest office iu the world by a sneak ing fraud. Possibly the disastrous failure of the Republicans with their income tax charge may have one good re sult. It has already brought about, | a strong revulsion ot political feeling, well expreased by such papers as the N. Y. Evening Post, tho .Nation, and others, against the attempt to carry the campaign by sheer vilification and scandal. It may bo that their inability sustain the charge, and tho defeat which seems now to have been brought upon them, largely through the popular feeling in behalf of an oncst man foully assailed, may tea h our politicians a needed H hereafter our campaignShre conduct ed by a decent discussion of princi ples, and not upon the basis of cam paign li s the Republican party will not have been defeated in vain.— Ex. TL’iisc Georgia E!eviiou* The Democratic majority in ninety two coin ties is 60,000. The forty counties to hear from will make the majority 30.000 at least. The Senate vi c forty-three Democrats and one Republican. The House will all be Democrats excopt six Republicans' including three colored. “Speaking of shaving,’" -ay* a pretty girl to an obdurate old bachelor, “I would think a pair of handsome eyes would bo the best mirror to shave by.” “Yes, many a poor follow has been ‘-shaved’ by them," the wretch replied. i:%’ rc sc BOMdL’S a* rL i m>N . “The entire Republican cunu aigu rests mrfin tho. nliouhkrs ol “Rob’ lngcrson, the Peoria ranter. Mr. Blaine is his partner in the job they huvo undertaken, but his speeches tire only mi echo of tho scurrilities which mark tin* effusions of Mr. In. goisoll. Air. Ingoisoll is a man of strong views and much bad language. In bis published works on religion, he calls the Christnin God ‘an infinite fieiul, in whose service we are asked to slide every m-ble sentiment of tho soul, and to trample under foot all the sweet charities of tho heart.’ 11c calls God ‘a monster,’ and the ‘devil the lirst schoolmaster, the firs' advocate of learning, tho first enemy of ignorance.’ He calls the Bible ‘a book filled with passages equally horrible, unjust and atrocious,’ a book of ‘barbarian invention.' Ho ea'ls the Church ‘a great robber that libs rifled not only the Docket? but tho brains of the world;’ ‘Dio Upas tree in the shadoof which the intol | lect of man has withered:’ the Gor i gen beneath whose gaze the heart of man lints turned to stone.’ Ml'. In— gerso’l has a light to his religions views, of course, but from t hese ex tracts. not from speeches, remember, but IVont deliberately published and I carefully corrected works, it is easy .to leant the spit it in which the man approaches any subject. 1i bo talks iu this way of the most serious sub jects which can engage the attention of man, thc-io is no need to be aston ished at anything he mnv >ny about, politics. De is simply what the N. A. World aptly culls him, ‘an insane blackguard.’ The Radicals of Marion qounty bare 1 eon instructed to vote for Hilliard.
