A young man has been drinking for
some length of time. Has appeared as if his
mind was dethroned once and a while. At
last, in a fit of drunken delirium, he fatally
shoots an acquaintance. Murder has been
committed, and the law says the punishment
is death. But up steps humanity and claims
that the murderer is crazy—is not responsible
for his actions—and it won’t do to punish
him. Who, then, is responsible ? The man
that sold him the liquor says he was author
ized by the laws of the land to do his part in
the tragedy—he was licensed, and had paid
for his license. A murder has been commit

Tilden's Majority in Georgia.
the latest indication we have of the real
Democratic majority in the State, is gleaned
from the following “brieflet” taken from the
Atlanta Constitution of the 14th “Can Tex

by express, care J. Milton Smith. The char
ges will be paid at this end of the line.”

A SOLID UNION, ONCE WORE!
Recent, telegrams bring us the news that
Oregon has gone for Tilden. If this news
prove reliable, the vexed question will be set
tled without reference to the electoral voteqf
South Carolina. Louisiana or Florida, all of
which States we feel sure have given fair Dem
ocratic majorities. But we shall be rejoiced
to know that our defeated and disappointed
enemies can have no pretext to question our
victory. In their hitter chagrin, and longing
desire for the loaves and fishes, they will yield
their places reluctantly, we know ; and will
plead every possible excuse for resisting the
inauguration of Samuel Tilden. This is alto
gether like them, and in perfect accord with
the mean selfishness, rotten corruption, cow
ardly aggressions, and cruel oppression which
they have displayed for the last twelve years.
Their foul sin and shameless degradation
have aroused such profound indignation in
all the honest hearts of our country that the}’
have been defeated and hurled from power
by the very party which the}', themselves, had
Overwhelmed ; which they had utterly routed
term after term, and reduced to such a hope
less minority that only its most sanguine
friends ever expected to see it in power again.
We believe that history does not furnish such
an anomaly as a party so often beaten, ever
securing again a controlling influence in a
nation’s politics : and this could never have
been accomplished, but through the total de
pravity of this Radical party, and by the Di
vine Blessing resting upon the efforts of hon
est men. We hope and pray that our deliver
ance from such a terrible inculms may he
complete and eternal.
They had well nigh ruined the most pros
perous and happy people on the face of the
earth ; but we thank God that we have reason
to believe that the danger is over, at least,
for the present. The recent election is the
first real step towards restoring the Union as
it was.
The Southern States may once more feel
that the glorious old Union is ours ; ours with
pride, not with shame ! Ours to enjoy, not to
bear! Ours to transmit, not as a prison in
which we were chained as slaves, but as a
glorious temple in which all true patriots may
worship and join in their paeans of praise.
For eleven long years we have been in the
Union, but not of it; there was no swell of
pride in the words, “ I am an American.”—
When our Northern brethren formed a dis
tinct sectional part}*, we felt that tliev were
no longer ours nor we theirs; but that we
were two distinct peoples. Since then we
have been held together by the galling bonds
of power, not the golden chain of love. Our
hearts were cold and despondent: theirs were
jealous and vindictive. But a brighter day
has dawned upon us, and the future is full of
golden promise.
The late election proves that we are one
people still; that there is a strong love for
the inheritance left us hy our fathers, and for
old-fashioned, honest government. The cor
rupt minions who were elevated and kept in
power by force of arms, have been hurled
from their position by the ballot, —
“ A weapon surer }*et.
And stronger than the bayonet;
A weapon that comes down as still
As snow-flakes fall upon the sod.
And executes the freeman’s will.
As lightning does the will of God.”
We cheerfully bow to its power, which last
week united the peoples—whom all the arms
of the earth could never have bound into a
holy Union. We now accept the Union as it
is, with all the results of the war; and if we
can only have peace and home rule, we shall
he more than contented. We feel no disposi
tion to glory over the defeat of our enemies,
but we must be permitted to rejoice in the
hope that Tilden’s triumph will bring us re
form and onr long lost honesty ; and instead
of “States distracted, dissevered,” we shall
be once more E Pluribtts Untim!!
The Latest and Most Important
News we have from the three “disputed”
States is found in the following telegram
from the Atlanta Constitution of the 14th:—
The Three States—A View of the Field—Lou
isiana Increasing Her Majority—Florida
Perfectly Safe.
Washington, Nov. 13.—The following has
jnst been received:
New York, Nov. 13, 1876.
To George C. Weddhurn , Washington: The
latest dispatches show increased democratic
majorities in Florida. Tilden’s majority in
that state is not less than 14,000.
There is no change in South Carolina.
Reports place the majority in Louisiana
over 8,700.

STILL LATER.
Advices by Thursday's mail, though teem
ing with speculations as to the actings and
doings of “returning boards,” give no satis
factory news as to definite results more than is
given elsewhere and above. However, if cre
dence is to be given to any of these “specu
lations” and reports, it seems that Tilden's
chances in South Carolina have waned
through Radical manipulations and “counting
out.” And at the same time it is said the
decision in Louisiana rests in the hands of
one negro on the “returning board.”
LTF’Georgia will again send a solid Dem
ocratic delegation to Congress. Mr. Ste
phens in the Eighth and Mr. Ilill in the
Ninth District had no opposition. Messrs.
Hartridge in the First, Smith in the Second,
Cook in the Third, Harris in the Fourth, Can
dler in the Fifth, and Blount in the Sixth,
were elected over Radicals and Independents
by large majorities. Mr. Felton being elect
ed in the Seventh docs not change the politi
cal complexion of the delegation, as he claims
to be a Democrat, and always acts with the
Democrats in Congress.

“SPIRIT OF THE PRESS." >
GRANT’S JACKSONIAN TACTICS.
llis Motives for the Movement on the Three
States—lf Honest he Crowns his Adminis
tration with the Noblest and Bravest Act of
his Life.
President Grant’s orders to General Sher
man, on the 10th, startled the Republic and
filled all good men and patriots with amaze
ment and bloody apprehensions. Notwith
standing the orders wore worded in the latn
guage of sincerity, and bore the impress of
honesty, thousands, aye, millions doubted and
openly denounced his action as a part in the
programme of Ciesarism, and a purpose to
hold the Government by force of arms. There
were many, however, who believed that Grant
meant just what he said, and that his language
imported a solemn and honest determination
to prevent any falsification of the count in
South Carolina. Florida and Louisiana, in
favor of either party, and to stand by the peo
ple in asserting the will of the majority.
We were not prepared for such a dennu
ment on the part of his Plxcellency, and could
not at first take in the hope that such was his
purpose ; but the fact that the two orders ema
nated directly from the President, and ap
parently in utter contempt ofthe usual formal
ities, led to calmer reflection, and upon care
fully studying the following language it oc
curred to us that he was acting outside of
cabinet and war counsels and upon honest
impulse. In his first order this passage oc
curs :
* Should there be any grounds of suspicion
of fraudulent count on either side, it should
be reported and denounced at once. No man
worthy of the office of President should be
willingto hold it if counted in or placed there
by fraud. Either party can afford to be dis
appointed in the result. The country cannot
afford to have the result tainted by the sus
picion of illegal or false returns.”
In the second order the following significant
sentence has a place :
“The presence of citizens from other States,
I understand, is requested in Louisiana to see
that the board of canvassers make a fair count
of the votes actually cast. It is to be hoped
that the representatives and fair men of both
pait.ies will go.”
This is not the language of a man who
meditates the overthrow of the government,
and if it can be interpreted upon principles of
sincerity and fairness, the President has gone
very far to redeem his administration and es
tablish his character as a patriot.
We are greatly assisted in the interpreta
tion by the following press telegram, and
nothing but the prepetration of the apprehen
ded outrage will justify censure or sustain
the theory that the object was to falsify the
returns and count in the Republican candi
date.
Washington, November 12, 1876.—Secre
tary Fish and Secretary Cameron were with
the President in Philadelphia when his orders
were issued for troops for Florida and Lou
isiana. and requsting the presence of trusted
people at New Orleans. It is known that the
President took the reins in his own hands
and it is believed his ambition is to steer the
country safely through the present danger,
and to see to it that the man rightfully chosen
shall be President. It is significant that these
orders went directly from the commander-in
chief to the general of the army.
If the theory be correct that Grant ignored
his counsellors and the bad influences that
surround him, and on his own responsibility
struck the bold blow for the life of the Repub
lic, the peace of the country and the liberties
of the people, history will redeem him and
posterity will place him side by side with
Jackson. The mystery will be solved in a day
or two. —Georgia CommomveaUh, 13 th.
Redeemed ! — The country is redeemed.
Bayonets are banished from American poli.
tics. Little statesmen are dwarfed into in
significance. Business interests are once
more made the care of American statesmen.
The rights of freemen will not be invaded by
irresponsible power. The States are no lon
ger to be led tied to the car of a shoddy des
potism. True nationalism has triumphed,
the people are united and free. The Cente
nnial has witnessed anew birth of freedom,
and 1876 answers back and sends greeting to
1776. The promise of 1776, with W ashing
ton and Adams, is made good in 1876 with
Tilden and Hendricks. It will no more be
said, “ Let us have peace.” Wc shall have
peace in truth and reconciliation in earnest —
not the peace that reigned at Warsaw, but
real peace ; not ttie peace when they make a
solitude and call it peace, but the peace of
prosperity and pure and economical govern
ment. The debris and drift of war and cor
rupt government, and the scum that hae float
ed on the surface, are cleared away, Belknap
cry, Babcockery, Whisky Frauds. Black Fri
days, Post-traderships, Credits Mobilicr. Pa
cific Subsidies, Jay Cookes. Emma Mines,
Customs frauds, bayonets—will it stretch out
to the crack of doom ? in short, Grantism, is
forever doomed.
The returns leave no doubt of the result—
the glorious result of yesterday’s work. The
people have spoken with the voice of a God,
and a nation is new-baptized, and its mem
bers newly gathered into the house hold. A
Democratic purified the
political atmosphere and banished all mias
matic corruptions.— Naehville American, f)tli.
Ttie Meditated Coup D'Etat. —While
the Macon Telegraph is confident of the elec
tion of Tilden and Hendricks by the vote of
the people, it says “there is a very prevalent
suspicion that the Radical leaders are pre
paring for a grand coup d'etat by which they
mean to scat Ilayes or Grant in defiance of
the suffrages of the people. W r e are disposed
to think that, if they mean to attempt this
desperate act of usurpation, they will transfer
their electoral votes from Hayes to Grant,
because they will need a leader of more nerve
than Ilayes, and one supposed to have a com
manding influence with the army. They will
want one who will plunge into this fearful
Rubicon, sword in hand, without doubt or
hesitating, about committing the country
finally to the policy of a millitary autocracy.”
