2 ®t)t EJfiilp ®xmniner. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 31, 1855. f «•*• M« Sitton, Esq., is authorised to receive and receipt for monies due this office. ffy** Through the politeness of the Agent of Adam’s Express, at this place, we have been advised of the arrival, this morning, of the Steamer Southerner, at I Charleston, with heavy freights, and a largo number of passengers. I • THE COUNCIL ELECT. We have no concealment. Wo avow ourself a Democrat. We glory in it.— We were born a Democrat, we are proud of ft. We are a party man, and we main tain that the doctrine to the victors be long the spoils, is correct, and we plant our flag upon it. It is not surprising then that we are disappointed when we see men, who openly opposed the present | • Mayor elect, retained m office. We say, we are disappointed, we are mortified, to know that our Council should retain in Cwer our opponents, when they themselves ve been tacitly elected to remove them. If the voters of Atlanta had known, that the present Council would have retained in office, some of the men recently elect ed by them, the result at the polls would have been different. We say this in all L . kindness, but with due respect and a nec essary frankness for the occasion. For ourself we have sustained no personal in jury, we have expected nothing from the Council, and we do not expect to be thwarted in any way by it; but we do think, a proper regard for the will of the majority, should have induced the Council to have surrounded Cant. Nelson with his Eolitical friends, officially, so that he might ave had a fair chance to have carried out his views and principles, to the fullest ex tent, and then, the people could have judged better of the ability of his Admin istration, its wisdom and pcHcy. From what we have said, no man will probably mistake our position. But lest they may, we will say, that we think eve ry Know Nothing, and opponent of the present Mayor elect, ought to be removed from office under the city government. — That’s our hand. We would not hold office under a Whig or Know Nothing reign, nor should any of them hold it un der Democratic rule. Oil and water cant mix, nor can Democracy and Whiggory 01 Know Nothingism. FROM WASHINGTON. (Special Correspondence of the Daily Examiner.] Washington, Jan. 34, 1855. As I predicted in my last, the Pacific Rail Road Bill, contrary to the expecta tions of old Bullion, was committed to a committee of thirteen, where it will prob ably slumber during the remainder of the present session. This result was not an ticipated, but is, perhaps, the best disposi tion that could have been made of it.— Benton has been in a very irascible mood since this action of the House. Tanta lies like, the fruit was atj hie lips, but he was not permitted to taste thereof. The French Spoliation Bill has occu pied Congress since Monday, and from present appearances will undoubtedly be come a law. Thu House has wisely in serted such pro visions as will effectually protect the object- of this act of national justice from swindling or fraud The speech recently delivered in tho House, by Mr Boytm of South Carolina, on the subject ofuur relations with Culm, has attracted more than ordinary attention. It is Mid by nW of Mr. Boyce’s col leagues, that hi> views on this ttbmrbing <]U«t»iivti, will u<>t be Fusishied by the chivalrous people of South Cnruliua. The prompt and the final of <>nr lung standing difficulties with the Spanish despoU who play their fnntiu*uc tricks in the Island of Cul*n, in a matter iu which South Carolina, either os a member of ou r eonte 'eracy.or as aaovuruignState, should feci aa deep an interest, as the State of Georgia ; and yet. with such a reoord as Mr Boyce's speech against him. I doubt very murii whether, even your most pop. ular repreaoutative would venture before his constituents for rs-elcvtion. I have Inboard some in<mibera of Congress say. that fun'sloidows the views of the respect to Cubu. and that his of awwrfot* fieial Htiuomiocniriit of M n bridge’» instrwiitions 1 cunnot, hnwevtr? believe this in as much as consistency w» no lew an attribute of President Pierce s character than bold, manly, and pnootu-: promising fir in new Th.* whole Cuba question is every day l*cosniug more men-1 tith'd <»ml complicated I ehsll watch very oloacly the program of our a golia lions io that quarter, and keep your read- ! era advis 'd a* to the result of my ohserva 1 Mows. it ia generally nodsratood. If uot offi-! S> dally announced, iu MaUungton. (hat our Minister to France, Mr Mason, will return home as soon as his health will per mit. Who is to succeed him:-, has not yet transpired. This appointment will resolve all doubts as to the course which the ad ministration has decided jipon with respect to our Foreign Relations. It would be inexcusable in your correspondent to dis guise the fact, that much uneasiness pre vails among Southern memfera, growing out of the apparent indifference, of our Government with respect to our just com plaints against the Government of Spain. Hence, every movement that can indi cate the policy of the .Administration on this subject, is watched with \unusuai in terest. The appointment of lhe new Min ister to France will be one of these indica tions. BRUTTUB. Jan. 26 1855. Since the disposal.xjf the Pacific Rail Road Bill Congress hasten engaged with the French spoliation Bill, which, as I have already informed yonr readers, will, doubt less becomes law. The most rigid checks are supplied for the protection of the bona fide holders of these claims. The foreign policy of the Administra tion is involved in most perplexing doubt. The utmost confidence [is still felt in the President’s consistency, and boldness, and he southern members, although really in doubt with regard to this subject, since the resignation of Mr. Soule, and the im mediate appointment of a Western man, still believe that the Presidont will faith fully carry out, at least with regard to Cuba the principles so eloquently defined in his Inaugural address. Now, that the Span ish Cortes have definitively refused to en tertain any propositions looking tn the transfer of the Island of Cuba, the Black Hawk case and other similar outrages de mand action equally definitive at any cost It is true that Governor Marcy has already settled, satisfactorily and amicably, many difficult and perplexing questions with the most consummate ability; but Governor Marcy himself has acknowledged, in his dispatches of last summer transmitted by the President, congress that, proper measures should at once be adopted “to vindicate the dignity of our Flag.” Start ling news from Cuba has just reached Washington which is thus condensed by an evening paper: We have private advices from Havana to the 21st inst., conveying to us positive intelligence of the existence of intense excitement throughout the island; arising from the action of tho Cortes in Madrid upon the question of the sale of the island to the United States. Secret meetings are again taking place all over the island and thousands who heretofore were array ed against the revolutionary cause have become identified with it, in the belief that there is now no other hope of escap ing from Spanish domination but in a suc cessful revolution. The best informed persons in the city of Havana, as well as m Washington city, are new momentarily expecting a more serious outbreak, to ®c cur in Cuba than over before. 1 have long believed that Providence will get ahead of diplomacy in the eman cipation of Cuba and its annexation to the United States. The final act in the me- Irniramme ofSpanish oppreriou, in that Heaven-favored Island is fast hastening. Believe me that this question is now the absorbing topic in our foreign diplomacy- More anon. BRUTUS A CARD. Iu the Atlanta Republican, of tim 25th inst., we notice an article, addressed by I. O McDaniel and others, to the citizens of Atlanta, which seems to impute to us, as managers of tho late city election, some impropriety of conduct; in opening the polls at an early hour, and secondly, in declining to enter into an investigation af tei tho election was over, to ascertain whether there had been illegal votin'*. The article referred to, states that the polls were opened about sunrise. Thev were, in fact, opened about 8 o'clock. None of us arrived at the City Hall un til hall-past seven, and there was consid erable delay in preparing the rooms, to., i prior to opening the polls. For it to have been improper for us to open at the time we did, it must have been illeizal or inexpedient. We think it was neither. The City Charter fixes no time whatever, and that fixed for other elec tions. by the State law, is between 7 and 10 o’clok, A M., (Act of 1850 Cobb's Digest ) Thus, whether the State law ■ applies to our city electioos, ns the article ‘ iu question maintains. or not, the polls J wore opened ata legal hour. To <iispoa<» of the question of exp> di-l cucy, it is only ueeewary to observe, that th. re are many legal voters whose em- j |ajlnvww»nt calls them from the city e rlv and many others whose business more or ’ less, by leaving it polls late in the day ♦ To give all the citizens, qualificdto>He< a fair, tqtiu! and convenient opporunitv toex-rcise their right of suffrage could not be wroDir In explanation of onr course in ; ing after the election, to investigate the legality nf rotes which had been polled • and counted, wc cau only say, that tn our best judgment, we bad no rack authority.; .We lojkcd in vain for it in the Charter lof the City, the iuslruiuent from which we derived, aa we conceived, all the au thority with which we were clothed. But when we left that and looked to the State law, wc were alike unable to find any such power vested in the managers of elections. It is true, by the act of 1852 the proper authorities, in elections to which that act applies, are directed to purge the polls in certain cases. But what instance could arise, under the general laws of the State, in which the managers would be the prop er authorities ? This is a function, we apprehend, to ba exercised under the act of 1852, by the Governor, Legislature, &c. As we understand the duties of managers, they are to preside at the polls —cause to be kept proper lists, &c.—re ceive all votes that appear to be legal count them out, and certify the result. All these were performed to the best of our ability. 8. B. HOYT, ) J. A. HAYDEN, } Manager*. C. A. HARALSON. ) PROCEEDINGS "OF COUNCIL. Cirr Hall, Atlanta, ) January 26, 1855. ) Council met.
