THE OGLETHORPE ECHO. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1874. T. 1,. GANTT, Editor and Prop. Wfcat Will the Democracy Do With their Victory ? To this question, the Cincinnati En quirer, speaking for the Democracy of the Great West, says : “The Democra cy will have no power under the Feder al Government any more then they have now. It requires three branches of the law-making power to enact a statute. The Democrats will have but one. We are but the brake upon the Radical car. We can arrest corrupt and bad legisla tion, but we can not carry through good measures. This it is important should be understood, since otherwise more will be expected of us than we can perlorm. This is, however, what we can and will do. We will appoint Committees of In vestigation into all the Executive De partments, and thereby expose fraud and corruption, which no doubt exist, and which have been, concealed and cov ered up through partisan friendship. We will, futhermore, have an honest count for President and Vice-President of the United Stat es, in 1877, of the Electoral vote in the House of Repre sentatives. No Htate will be thrown out. This of itsel.f is of the highest im fcance.” Mr. Alex andei i H. Stephens writes in a private letter ; is follows, concerning the elections: “Th< i news of the elections throughout the con ntry is exceedingly encouraging to the pa vtriots of the land. The next House of R< 3presentatives will be Democratic for the first time in four teen years. If this r aajority shall but prove itself equal to it s mission—that is, keep the party on th e great principles on which it was fount led—and go aft< r no ‘ new departures, ’ a bright future may await us.” Mr. . Stephens is silent about his latest “ ne\ v departure,” the third term. Perhaps he is not so much in favor of it as he wa jb. There seems to be an impression among many persons that the members of Congress elected on the 3d inst. will take thair seats in Dect nriber next. This, of course, is an error. The term of the present Congress does not expire until the fourth of March n< ixt, consequently, unless an extra session of Congress is called by Grcant at the c lose of the present Congress, the Jiew me ambers chosen on the 3d inst. will nO** en ter upon their leg- JmauVo dllti.es Until t^ u vst Monday in December, 1875. Radical Sensation.— A Washing ton special to the Baltimore Sun sa s rs a daughter of Jackson, the Alex fcJ* dria hotel keeper who killed Colonel Ells worth, was discharged from the Tr asury Department ashort time since. T 1 lroU gh the influence of Colonel Mosby tb te Pres ident caused her to be reinstated, an d it is said has directed that she shr ji no t be disturbed during his term. There is terrible indignation in Radical circles in consequence. Charley Ross in Cai ;ada. The Daily Times says the long 1 op t Charley Ross has been traced to St. Catharines. A woman, who gave her na: ue as Haz ard, and, her daughter, arrived [ thert '■ about four months ago, having ch arge , ->f the stolen child. The woman, v rho has been in the service pf Mrs. Rich* urdson near the market, is under arrest, a*d the p (dice and several American detectives a, -e in search of the daughter, who has the child with her. United States Senators arc to be elected this winter from the follow ing States : Delaware, Florida, Indiana, D W isiana, Michigan, Missouri, Neva- la, New Jersey, New York, Tenness* ie, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, electii ig one each add all having Democrat ic Legislatures; from Maine, Massachusett h Minnesota, Nebraska, Pennsylvania am i Rhode Island, electing one each am 1 having Republican Legislatures. A European War Predicted. Father Hyacinthe and Victor Hugo have joined Mr. Disraeli and the Pope in prophesying the approach of a tre mendous war, which shall range all over Europe and elsewhere. Mr. Disraeli predicted that the war would be a religi ous one, and that it would convulse the globe. Civil Rights.— lt is thought that the infamous civil rights bill will never kick again, orjif the Radical House shall, in its desperation, pass it, the President will veto it, in view of the overwhelming evidence of the disgust awakened by it in the public mind, as evidenced by thA. i late election A water famine in New Orleans. The Dismal Swamp is in flames (!) A Newport, Va., boy drinks kerosene. No rain in Mobile for the past two months. The Carlists wants their “cruel war” to cease. U. S. G.—“ Oh, what a Fall is this, my countrymen!” They are already agitating Banks for next Speaker. Massachusetts is Democratic whilst SouthUarolina is Radical. Tilden, just elected Democratic Gov ernor of New York, is a bachelor. “For of all sad words, by tongue or pen, The saddest are these, “ We shan’t have Ben.” W hat Grant said when he heard the late election news: “Be brief, I’m sick.” A lot of negro women, dressed as men, voted the Radical ticket at Huntsville, Ala. They have just shipped from Savan nah to New York a Gopher with two heads. The negroes in Houston county are afraid they are going to be put back in slavery. The colored people of Greene county propose to hold a fair in Greensboro in December. A cigar box nailed to a rai 1 fence comprises a post office in Scl loharie county, N. Y. The Memphis Avalanche propos es that Tilton’s mother-in-law shall marry Toombs, of Georgia. The Supreme Court of Ohio ha b just decided that sending a dun to a man c.n a postal card is unlawful. A young man named Anthony was killed in Wilkes county the other day by being thrown from a horse. A pony twelve hands high, which is reported to have paced a mile-in 2:11, has been shipped in Cuba for New York. Beast Butler is said to have remarked that “If the Republican party can stand its losses, I think I can bear my share.” Primus Edwards, a negro convicted of the killing of a colored man named Adams, was executed at Americus on Friday last. William Fortson, son of Mr. Ste phen Fortson, of Elbert county, fell down the other day while chasing a rab bit and died almost immediately. Rev. W. C. Moreau was killed in Washington county last week. The shot was fired by some unknown party, through the window of the dwelling. A MAN in Mitchell county recently sold to thfi of Camilla for good beef, the carcass of an ox that had died under the yoke, from colic or some other disease. ' An old negro woman, who had nursed Gen. Phill Cook, carried a number of colored men to Americus the other day and made them vote the Democratic ticket. At the October election Messrs. A. H. Ferrell and J. C. Jackson tied for Repre sentative from Habersham county. They ran it over last week, and Mr. Ferrel was the lucky man. It is Upton, Ga., this time. It is the one hundred and two y%ars old darkey who still gathers in his own corn and cotton, besides finding time to attend to the neighbor’s hen-roosts.

Herman Schilling was murdered one-night last week, in Cincinnati, by three men, who forced his body with pitch forks nto a furnace. The charred and par tially consumed remains were dragged out next morning. , ©overnor Campbell, of Wyoming, in a letter: “The statement that •expectable women did not generally vote t the last election is, I believe, incor 3Ct. I think that more women voted \ the last election than at any previous ectfcion in the territory.” Jibe following paragraph appears in of the Louis JRepubli- seven wag r: f ‘‘Bfofirom Clay county. leviilo on where LEXINGTON DOTS.

It is almost daily referred to as “ tie best daily in the South/’ “ the leading Georgia daily,” etc., and it is generally conceded to be in all respects a model Southern newsjaper. This is the sgme that the Morning News covets, and no pains will be spared hereafter to make it still worthier of •she confidence and patronage of the people of Georgia and Flori da. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to the improvement of the pa per in respect to its already large facilities for gathering the current news of the day, and ita staff ot special correspondents has been reor ganized with a view to meeting every possible contingency that may arise. Although the Morning News has but little or no competition within the field of its circu lation, nevertheless no effort will be considered too expensive that gives the earliest and fresh est information to its readers. In this respect there will be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it far ahead of all its contemporaries. The features that have rendered the paper so popular will be maintained. The editorial department will be conducted with the same dignified thoughtfulness, conservative vigor, and earnest devotion to principle that have al ways characterized it. The racy reliability of the local, and the accuracy and complements of the commercial departments, will be kept up to the old standard, and improvements will be made wherever they are suggested by ex perience. The Morning News is the’only Savannah paper that publishes the Associated Press dispatches and the telegraphic market reports authorized by the Commercial Bureau of New York City. In acajition to this, the local market reports will ho full and reliable, and will be accompanied by such comment as will enable the business men of Georgia and Florida to form estimates as accurate and as intelligent as if they were in the city. In a word, the Morning News will com prise every feature that re inters the modern newspaper attractive, and its readers may con fidently look to its eolaiMua for the latest in formation in regard to everything of current interest. It will admit of no rivalry in its own proper field, and will allow no competi tor to outstrip it in any department of jour nalistic enterprise.
