In the general summing up of the re
sult, wc can see no cause for discouragement,
but have stronger hopes than ever that the
democracy can carry the entire country in
1876.”
The above quoted sentence from the Cov
ington Star, is only a sample of the “wind
ing up” to many comments of the press in
different sections of the country, in regard to
the late elections. It is perhaps, a great
blessing to be of that temperament which
never despairs or gives up under the most
trying circumstances—that sees a “silver
lining to every cloud.” Hut at the same time,
H sense of candor compels the writer to ad
mit that, as a great deal had been promised
in the late elections, the consequence of de
feat is, a great deal has been tost ! We shall
not stop to make any long explanation;
we believe the reader can comprehend what
is meant, at a glance. The “ people” had
heard so much of “ deliverance” from present
ills : had read so often of the success which
awaited the democracy in New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and other States, by majorities
of thousands upon thousands, that the great
mass of them were wholly unprepared for the
reception of the news which, week before
last, was heralded from point to point through
the instrumentality of the telegraphic wires ;
and now, the question oftener propounded
than any other is, not what was the cause of
this defeat ? but, “ why are wo so constantly
deceived by our political leaders ? Not only
in the present instance —but why have we
been so often deceived by these men, or their
predecessors, in the past ?” This is, pro
bably, best, and only known to themselves ;
hence, an answer is not here attempted ; but
we proclaim it as our firm conviction, that if
the people of the Southern States are ever de
livered from the “bondage” in which the}*
arc now so firmly held, it must be by some
other means than through the ramifications
of political machinery. To be brief—if we
are ever freed from the present “ cloud” of
want, of debt, and of financial bankruptcy
that “lowers o'er our house,” it will and
must be through our own individual and col
lective exertions. While wc hope and pray
for the “ better day coming.” yet we cannot
forego the conclusion that no matter what the
political complexion of these United States
for many, many years to come, our salvation
as a people rests in our own hands and with
our own selves.
As appropo we invite attention the fol
lowing concluding paragraphs of an article on
“Economy,” taken from the Macon Tel. $
Mess, of a recent date :
“ Economy is the only redemption of our
people from want and vassalage, and if rigid
ly persisted in, united with reasonable indus
try, will inevitably prove the panacea for all
our ills and troubles.
“We have recently seen this exemplified
at the Thomasville Industrial Exposition.
There, thousands of warm quilts and counter-'
panes, infinitely preferable to the store arti
cle from the Northern looms; bolts by the
hundred of neat jeans, kerseys, homespun
and other fabrics, stockings, suits of domes
tic apparel—all the products of the farm,
kitchen and dairy; tempting haras and grea
sy bacon sides, stately oxen, prolific milch
cows, fine sheep and native horses ; poultry,
syrup, leather, and almost every article of
domestic consumption, were to be" seen in the
greatest profusion—and all the result of the
intelligent industry of the rural population.
“The people had cut loose from their West
ern connections, were raising their own meat
and bread and many of the comforts and lux
uries of life, were practicing economy, and
living within themselves, and hence their
proud independence and just title to the dis
tinction of being the banner county of Geor
gia. Let the whole State follow her laudable
example.
“We have “rung the changes” time and
again upon this topic in the columns of the
Telegraph, and are “enlisted for the war” in
Its support. Never can we recover from the
ravages of a conflict unparalleled in the an
nals of nations, or hope for material prospe
rity again, until a wholesome economy shall
pervade all classes of the community, and
even control the legislation and officials of
the country.
Again—note the following :
0 i
“ M c must come down,” sensibly remarks
the Ilinesville (Liberty county) Gazette: —
“We are poor; let us own it. It hurts all of
us to say so, but the fact nevertheless exists,
and is so apparent that no amount of outside
show can conceal it. The glories of former
wealth will uot hide our poverty, and there
fore let us quit talking, and acting and para
ding and thinking tnd planning and trying to
live as we once did. We must learn to come
down and adapt ourselves to our surround
ings. Useless luxuries must be lopped off ;
economy in the expenditure of onr means
must be rigidly practiced ; and we must live
within our incomes. If onl}’ half a crop has
been made by our farmers, our expenses
must be in proportion. We must come down
from this idea that the world owes us a liv
ing, and we must wait for it to come to us
without working for it. Waiting for money
to be more plentiful, won't help the cause,
and if we get only half pay for our wages it
is better than none at all. It pays better to
work at ten dollars a month than to loaf for
nothing.

The night before the late, election in Mis

State Treasurer Jones has recently been
required by Gov. Smith to file anew bond—
his former bond being deemed insufficient by
reason of the death of Gen. Henning, one of
j his bondsmen. There may be other reasons
—of this, our latest advices give no informa
tion.
A lawyer in one of the lower or middle
counties of this State has been arrested and
bound over on a charge which seems to be a
new one to our Courts. He is charged with
getting up law-suits between neighbors, etc.
We hardly know what “head*’ this comes un
der, unless it is “ malicious mischief.”
His Excellency, Gov. Smith, has appoint
ed a second commission—the first failing to
agree—to consider the mental condition of
Stephen B. Brinkley, of Coweta county, sen
tenced to be hung on the 29th of October last
fur murder. The commission consists of J.
1\ Logan, M. I)., of Fulton ; J. A. Long, M.
I)., of Troup; and J. T. Banks, M. I)., of
Spalding, lie has also suspended the execu
tion till the 25th inst., in order that the com
mission may have ample time to perform
their duty.
Ihe latest move on the “Judicial board”
is to organize anew Circuit, composed of the
counties of Clarke, Oconee Jackson, Walton,
Gwinnett, Morgan and Newton—seven coun
ties. We see no reason why this should not
be; provided, “the people' 5 do not have to
empty their pockets of the balance of the lit
tle “chicken money” left after paying the
present exorbitant, onerous and unjust taxes
it seems to require to run the State govern
mental “ machine.” In heaven's name, let
us have no more government expenses to pay !
Among the many other disasters to life and
property during the year now close at an end,
that of shipwreck makes no mean show.
Our exchanges advise us of the loss, recently,
of the steamship Pacific , commanded by n
brother of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, which was
recently wrecked by coming in collision with
another vessel after night. All on board,
amounting two hundred souls, it is feared,
were lost. At all events, only* two escaped,
so far as known. Ihe steamer J Vaco was re
cently destroyed by fire near Galveston. The
vessel and cargo, crew and passengers, were
all lost, save one man. A number of other
vessels, belonging to England and other
foreign nations, have been wrecked and oili
wise damaged, more or less.
Prospective Policy.
The reliable Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says : “Measures have
already bee;} inaugurated looking to a bold
aggressive policy immediately on the assem
bling of Congress. The president will take
such ground in his message as regards the
currency and other important questions as
will call for an expression of opinion from
the House. The Republican majority in the
Senate, led by such astute politicians as Ed
munds, Conk ling and others, will be con
tinually sending bills and resolutions to the
House designed to entrap it into the declara
tion of principles and policies repugnant to
the people at large. The changed prospect
of the Democratic party will, however, have
the effect to put the House on its good
behavior, and the Conservative, coolheaded
men among the Democrats will come to the
front and shape the policy of that body. The
Repubicaus and the Democrats will now con-
front each other in the national arena with
forces and advantages pretty nearly equal.
Upon the wisdom and discretion which mark
the action of the House now depends, to a
great degree. Democratic success or failure
twelve months hence. The battle between
the two Houses of Congress will rage with
vigor and a tenacity which could not have
been excited had the Republicans again met
the last year.”
A Terrible Affair.
In Jackson county, W. Ya., last week, a
grand house-raising took place. As is custo
mary on such occasions, chickens had been
killed by chopping off their heads. Two
little sons of the owner of the house to be
raised saw the chickens thus guillotined,
and during the day concluded to repeat the
operation. It was just at a time when the
men were lifting a heavy log into its place.
The father, who was holding one end of the
log, casting his eyes towards the little fel
lows, one of whom had the ax raised to sever
the neck of his brother, let go of the log to
save the boy, and it fell, killing six men,
two instantly, the others living only a few
hours. The ax fell before the father could
reach the scene, cutting of the head of the
Court Stenographers.
Wc are glad to note the fact (says the At
lanta Constitution) that the suggestion of a
correspondent of the Constitution, that the
Legislature should authorize the appointment
of a stenographer for each Circuit of the State
Courts, is meeting with approval and endorse
ment. The people can hardly understand
how much benefit will accrue to the Court
business of the State by such an arrangement,
until they have once tried it. Economy and
the speedy administration of the law will be
at once secured, and we do not question that
much litigation might be made unnecessary.
The subject, we hope, will have the careful
attention of the Legislature. Of the sugges
tion, the Chronicle <s• Sentinel says :
“ We are convinced that the appointment
of an official stenographer for each Judicial
Circuit in the State would save thousands of
dollars annually to the tax-payers of Georgia,
besides materially aiding the administration
of just ice. The business of the Courts would
be greatly expedited, and trials which now
consume two days could be easily finished in
six hours. The plan has been in operation
for several years in all the larger States of
the Union, and its success wherever tried has
abundantly demonstrated its wisdom. For
a very reasonable salary stenographers could
be procured for each Circuit, and not only
would worthy men be given employment, but
the tax-payers of the State would save a great
deal of money by obtaining their sendees.”
The Presidential Outlook, 1876.
Referring to the coming Presidentitl con
test, the New York Herald thinks the advan
tages are with the Democrats, albeit the con
test will be very close, and coucludes in this
wise :
‘ The people yearn for a party which will
rectify abuses and give them good govern
ment : but they will hold their judgment in
suspense until the nominations shall have
been made and the platforms declared next
year. The numerical strength of the two par
ties is in such a state of equipoise that it will
require very little to turn the scale in favor
of either. Wc rejoice that they are so equally
balanced in the last elections which precede
the assembling of the two national couven
tions in the beginning of next summer. Nei
ther party can afford to blunder in so critical
a conjuncture. The increasing body of in
dependent votes will decide the contest when
the scales hang so even ; and the necessity
which each party will be under of bidding
for their support should incite each to put for
ward its best man and make such a declara
tion of principles as citizens of sound judg
ment can approve. The next Presidential
election will not be a sharp conflict of clash
ing polices ; for the country is nearly unani
mous on every topic which will be touched
in the party platforms of next year. The
contest will probably be decided by the per
sonal merits of the candidates in* point of
ability, integrity, experience, public services
and popular magnetism. It is fortunate for
the country that neither party can presume
on its strength and put forward mischievous
principles or a vulnerable candidate. The
present equality of the two parties is the most
hopeful sign of the times.'’
The North Georgia Conference.
The citizens of Griffin, says the Neivs, are
preparing, irrespective of denomination, to
entertain the members of this numerous body.
As the session promises to be one of unusual
interest, a large number of visitors is antici
pated. There will be room, we are assured,
for all comers.
The Conference will convene on the first
day of December, and not on the second day,
as lias been stated. The body consists of 175
pastors and 36 lay delegates. They represent
407 local or non-traveling preachers, and
51.190 members. The bounds of the confer
ence include all that part of Georgia above
a line running from the lowest boundary of
Richmond county west to the Alabama line
at a point about twenty miles above Colum
bus.
The business before the conference con
cerns nearly a quarter of a million of people,
and is in every respect important. Pastors
are to be sent to every church with a clean
certificate of moral and official health, and all
the work of the great church inside of the
bounds of the conference at least is to be re
viewed. What have the missionaries done,
what has been and can be gained in the Sun
day schools, and a score of other deeply in
teresting questions will come up for consid
eration ; and the thoughtful, earnest, devoted
men who are entrusted with their settlement
are sure to arrive at wise conclusions. We
hope their work may be quickly disposed of,
and that there will remain time for the inau
guration of what the Griffin Neics trusts will
be a grand revival of religion.— At. Const.
