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. "—* —i ii i Removal. We notice that Mr. John G. Oakes has re moved his harness shop to the new building recently put up near his residence on John •on street EDITORIAL DQTTINGS. Thus far, 24 gin-houses have been burnt in Georgia this Fall. The Democratic State Convention of Texas will meet in Galveston on the fourth Wednes day in January, 187 G. From the far West, North and Northwest the telegraph furnishes accounts of heavy sleets and snow storms recently. Advices from Washington indicate the usu al scramble for office—from Speaker of the House down. Verily, this is the “best gov ernmemt the world ever saw !” At the session of Oconee Court last week, Joe Matthews, who killed his wife's father— i both negroes—was tried and found guilty of murder. He was sentenced to be hung on Friday, December 17th. Mr. F. S. Roberts, of Hart county, planted one grain of corn in 1874. and made five ears. The present year he planted the five ears and made ten bushels—B2 pounds to the bushel j in the car. — Athens Georgian. At Clcaveland, Ohio, not long since, a man and wife being “on a spree," the wife induced the husband to take chloroform, and then pro curing an old hand-saw, she sawed off one of his legs a little above the ankle joint. The night before the late, election in Mis sissippi, the negroes attempted to fire the town of Columbus, in that State. Their de , signs and plots failed—seven or eight negroes were killed or wounded, and the town saved from a disastrous conflagration. 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. Wail Routes.
