The Election Bill recently promulgat ed by the Legislature is, in many respects, most remarkable measure. Its total unconstitutionally, patent from the re cord, to say nothing of the authoritative opinion of the Chief Justice of the Su preme Court of tne State, renders it nu gatory and void, and the duty of the law- abiding citizens of the State is plain ; that is, TO HOLD THE ELECTION IX NoVEM- iB, AS PROVIDED BT THE CONSTITUTION. Accustomed ns citizens of Georgia have become to unwarranted usurpations of power, unscrupulous abandonment of honor, and utter disregard of all constitu tional restrictions on the part of those authority, they stand aghast at this last iniquity. Pretending protection, it overrides rights of person and of property. Plead- “the laud of the I know she will And sigh, dearest lather, for you and lor me.

It will be observed from the foregoing that the electors are subject to sndden and arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, without right of bail, appeal or habeas corpus, and that, for other offences than “treason, felony or breach of the peace”; and all contrary to the State’s andUnited State’s Constitutions as before stated, and in direct and willful violation of the express constitutional rights of an elec tor. . Vide State Constitution, Article See. VII. Electors shall/ iu all cases except treason, felony, or breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest for five days before an election, during the elec tion, and two days subsequent thereto. Pleading fairness it destroys the last safeguard to the pnrityof the ballot-box. ieli of to the purity of the ballot box. Feigning the execution of law, it violates tho State Constitution and the Constitution of the United States. Taking these propositions in their der, read the following sections of the bill. Sec. 4.

Formal recognition came froih Congress.- After much dilly-dally ing and self congratulation at the unex pected height, many of them had reached, they finally adjourned sine die, Oct 6th, 1868.And so ended the first session. January 13th, I860, they again met, and after sixty-five days, daring which time there was much plotting and oonnt- ■-plotting, and little government accom plished, they adjourned, sine die, March 18th. So ended the second session. On the 10th day of January, of the pursuant year, 1870, they again met, and unless a kind Providence lias intervened to save the credit of the State, they are iu session this day. The last Georgia Bill recites that the 14th and 15th Amendments were ratified “by a legal Legislature of said State.” The 14th was ratified formerly, as liefore stated, July 21st, 1868; so that was a legal session, making this the third.— ’This no-coiled Election bill i-» a cheat and From tlio JIacon Telegraph ami Messenger.

Heavy gros de grain dresses seem most in vogue, and are tru ly dazzling in their sombre magnificence. Almost all of these dresses are trimmed with velvet and lace, aud some with ruemmenterie of a rich arabesque pattern, aud others with a melange of lace velvet fringe and featliem. Indeed, one dress struck us in particular, from the way this now and elegant trimming was dis posed on it. It wasii massive black gros de grain, with a deep flounce of black guipure lace and an overskirt of velvet trimmed also with lace, a band of over four inches in width of ostrich feathers went ronnd the flounce and over-skirt, both of which were caught up at inter vals with similar plumes. This singular ly magnificent dress had coat sleeves, coffs of velvet, a la mosquetaire cein- teure, of bhick velvet, arranged in-two large flat boa's with loug ends trimmed with very deep lace. The corsage was high, with vest front and postillion beck, a kind of hood or scarf of lace was ar ranged on- the shoulders, and disposed in a large bow in. front. The prico of this unique dress was 8350. PRO HEX ADS BONNET of brown velvet, moderately dose shape, theexteriorof the brim decorated with black lace, profusely trimmed with flow ers, foliage and e plume of white ostrich feathers; long strings of ribbon of the same hue as the hat, with inner ones of blue, were fastened under the chin. This is returning somewhat to the old style worn some years ago. X&*It is said that Gen. G. ,W.

These sections, it will be observed, e not permissive, or discretionaiy, bnt mandatory. Governors, Judges and' Or dinaries might, being commissioned offi- i, have special duties assigned them ; but not so tho simple citizen. I jaws bin ding the citizen to specific acts, must have his consent thereto. 1 State Constitution, Art. 1., Sec. 26.] •‘Laws shall have a general operation ; and no general law, affecting private rights, shall be varied, in any particular case, by special legislation—except with the free consent of all persons to be af fected thereby. Special duties appertain exclusively to officers, who, indeed, may coll on the citizen for aid in certain emergencies, preserving the peace, mak ing arrests,” &c. Here [Sec. 4] the Governor and Or dinaries appoint peremptorily, and the ap pointee, willing or unwilling, must quit his occupation and obey. “Said five persons, or any threo or more of them, may and sh'dl hold the election.” | Sec. 6.] “And it shall be tho duty of said appointees,” fee. The penalty for disobedience is a fine 1 one hundred dollars, on prima facie evidence. All this in the faco of the State Constitution and the Constitution of the United States, declaring that, “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property, without duo process of law.” Those managers, themselves ercion, aro invested with still traoriliuary power over the rights of elec tors. Sec. 8. They shall not permit any per son to clialleuge any vote, or hinder or delay or interfere with any other person in the free and speedy easting of liis bal lot. Sec. 0. It shall be tho duly of said mnnageis to prevent rioting and distur bances at or near tho polls; and to se cure this end it shall bo their duty to prevent more thau one person, and he only while voting, approaching or re- mainiug within fifteen feet of the place of receiving ballots; and said managers may, if they see fit, require the person desiring to vote to form themselves into a line, nnd when a lino is thus formed said managers shall prevent any person notin the line from approaching the polling place nearer than fifty feet ; but -• .... 41 “ _ marine in tho military or naval service of the United States, shall acquire the rights of an elector by reason of being stationed ou duty in this State; and no person shall vote who, if challenged, shall refuse to take the folio wiug oath: “I do swear that I have not giveu, or received, nor do I expect to give, or receive, any money, treat, or t hings of value, by which my vote or any vote, is affected, or expected to be aflected, at this election; nor have I given, or promised any reword, or made any threat by wbicli to prevent any per son from voting at this election.” (Art. 2, sec. 2, State Constitution.) If unchallenged, there is no penalty attached to his voting! and he may le gally vote, though he could not or would not toko the oath; but he cannot be chal lenged, nor can the managers refuse his vote if tho challenge were good. Here, again this muzzling of the .mana gers brings the bill indirect conflict with the Constitution. Section 6 of Article 2 says: The General Assembly may provide, from time to time, the registration of all electors, but the following classes of persons shall not be permitted to register, vote, or hold office: First those who shall be convicted of treason, embezzlement of public funds, malfeasance in office, crime punishable by law with imprison ment in tho Penitentiary, or bribery.— Second. Idiots or insane persons. Note the verbage—“shall not be per mitted to vote.” Which are managers to do, perjure themselves or violate the Constitution ? Hots in Horse*. icle on.thi8sub- . „ W. A Love, of Albany, Ga., has appeared in the Southern Cultivator. Its length prevents the publi cation of it entire, bnt we condense it for the use of our readers, giving its princi pal points. The question os whether bots injure horses is as yet not fully de termined by veterinarians. Yonatt thinks that they do not injure the horse, and the Turf, Field and Farm coincides in that view of the subject. It will be perceived that Dr. Love is of a different opinion.' In 1846, Dr. Love collected from the stomach of a dead horse a number of bots and institute! a series of experi ments for the purpose of ascertaining what would destroy them without injur ing the horse. Innumerable drugs, many powerful acids, besides turpentine, tobac co, and various tinctures, were tried. These experiments satisfied him that he had as yet found out 4 nothing which would destroy the bots without destroying the horse. He found, however, that they seemed to relish syrup aud sweetened water, and that green vegetable juices of any kind seemed to sicken them. , This suggested flip idea of feeding the horse with green vegetable matter, such iis a fraud, and known to l>e so by its fram- j green corn, fodder, millet, wheat, etc., If the Radical party succeeds under j nn ^ 4 ^° howels worc^slightl^r opened, it, it will lie held constitutional; if the Democrats carry the election, the reverse. It is a deep laid scheme to entrap the people, one which they cau only avoid by holding a constitutional election in November. Tho Georgia bill, as approved by the President, provides that the State of Georgia having complied with the recon struction acts, and the 14th and 15th articles of amendments to the constitu tion of the United States having been ratfied in good faith by a legal Legisla ture ot said State, it is hereby declared that the State of Georgia is entitled to representation in the Congress of the United States, bnt nothing in this act contained shall bo construed to deprive the people of Georgia of the right to an election for members of the General assembly of said State as provided for in die constitution thereof, aud nothing in this or any other act of Congress shall lie construed to affect the term to which any officer has been appointed or any mem ber of the General Assembly elested as prescribed by tbe constitution of tho State ot Georgia. Now let tho election be held under the Constitution and the Code; and any interference be punished according to the act to enforce the 13th Amendment. Law. Company Manners. “Will you please sit down and wait a few minutes till mother comes ?” said a little girl to two ladies who came to see her mother. “And will vou give me a glass of water, Martha ?** asked one of the ladies; “I am very thirsty.’’ “With pleasure,” answered Martha. Martha presently came back with two goblets of water on a small waiter, which she passed to both ladies. “O, thank you,” said the other lady; “you are very thoughtful.” “You aro quite welcome,” said Martha, very sweetly. When Martha went out of the room, one of the ladies said, “This little girl is one of the loveliest children I ever met How sweet aud obliging her manners are. It must be delightful to“li such a child.” Let us go into the next room u Martha took the water back into the dining room. “Me drink! me drink!” criod little Bobby, catching hold of his sister’s dress and screwing up his rosy lips. “Get out Bob 1” cried Martha, roughly “yon are forever in the way.’’ “Me drink,” said the little fellow. “No,” said Martha, “goto Bridget.” Don’t speak so to your little brother, .:»« • »_ »» Brill"- and then giving a pur go of salts for the purpose of giving a discharge of the bots. For years he lias every Spriug pursued this course of treatment, and though liv ing behind horses for a quarter of a cen tury, ho has not lost one from bots. \ post mortem examination made after- ■us revealed the fact that the grubs travel tail foremost. When placed under a microscope and detected, they are found to have in the tail a lance-shaped piercer, which can be protuded or re tracted at pleasure, at the sting of an in sect. On either side of the piercer is a curved grapple, the points of which are thrown by muscular contraction, or des cribing the segiments of a circle, the motion being from the point of tho pierc er towards the head of the insect. With the point of the grapples tho coats of the stomach are hooked up ; by muscular contraction they are thrust into it literal ly, while tho piercer penetrates in the line of the axis of the body of tho grub. On the body, in regular order, is arrang- »series of grapples ot the same shape, consecutive rings. By means of the piercer and grapples the grabs will pene trate the coat of tho stomach. This mo tion generates puss npon which they may perfer to feed while entering upon* their vant .,, •hryalis slate or when they have arrived 1 ' 1 it or near maturity, or about to change to the perfect fly. Other jx/sl mortems confirm the observations here made. Soon after this it .was ascertained by an experiment upon a swarm of angry bees that a small quantity of chloroform would completely kill them. Tho ex periment was extended to a great variety of other iuseccs with the same result.— Here, then it was suggested, might be found the long sought for grub poison. Soon an opportunity of testing it in the case of a sick mule was presented. One ounce of chloroform with one pint of lyrup and half a pint of water was given. Hon. (?) R’chardH. Whitely.- Edttor CoxsrmmoN: This loyal; in dividual is still in Washington, trying to get in as United States Senator from Georgia. I propose to give your readers a short account of his military career du ring the late unpleasantness,” as I had the honor of serving four-years in the same command with him. Early in 1861, lie was a rabid secession ist, and volunteered in the “Hardee, Rifles,” Cspt. Hugh M. "King, from Bainbridge, Ga.^ which-was company H, 5th regiment Georgia Volunteers. He eoon distinguished himself (?) by seek ing the position of Judge Advocato (re corder) of all the petty court martials in our command, and it was a notorious fact that no matter how black the offence, by greasing his palm with a sufficient quantity of Confederate currency, tho criminal could go soot free. He always managed to bo detailed on somo such dnty whenever the regiment wnn engag ed, and on" one occasion, at Kennesaw Mountain, lie was put in command of the ontpost pickets and videttes, very near the enemy. The climate was rather too tcarm for his loyal heart, and he was too full of the milk of human kindness to want to hurt the boys iu blue. So he quietly went to sleep half a mile to the and left his responsible position in charge of the gallant Capt. Hester, of Augufetn, Ga. Our brigade commander (Geu. J. K. Jackson) reprimanded him severely. Afterwards, at the bloody field ol Jonesboro, Ga.,,he could not control his cowardly legs, arid ran clear out of the fight. We-found him far iu the real', snugly hid away :ii a fortified pit, with the infirmary corps. Here he would un doubtedly have heeu cashiered for cow ardice, had ho not, by boot-licking Gen eral S. It. Gist, obtained leave of ab sence. and never rejoined liis command, except to lie paroled, m North Carolina, and come in for a heavy share of the wagons and mules given to his command, which he afterwards sold to a great nd- to himself. In tho above statements of facts, many of my old soldier comrades, in the gal lant old 5th Georgia, will readily recog-' the character of this Major Whitely, who is trying to palm himself off as one of the “trooly lo'il.” A deeper disgrace could never bo put ou the good people of the Empire State of the South than by odmittiug this monstrous humbug, of her U.

A majority of each House shall constitute a quorum to transact business; bnt a smaller number may adjourn from day to day and com pel the presence of its absent members,' as each House may provide. No session of the General Assembly, after tho sec ond under thus Constitution, shall con tinue longer than forty days, unless pro longed by a vote of two^tbirds of each branch thereof.—(Article 3d, State Con stitution.) This bill was passed after the expiration of the forty slays of the third session, without any vote or measure of prolonga tion, and therefore, with much other mischievously-intended legislation, has binding force on the people than a resolution of a Radical caucus meeting at which the Governor might liavopre sided. On the 20th day of July, 1868, General Meade addressed Governor Bollock as follows: * * * “I have now >o advise and instruct you that each House having com plied with my requisitions of tha 8th inst, &c., Ac.. I ^consider them legally organized from the18th inst, the date of the action of tho House.” The 14th Amendment .was formerly ratified July 21ai, Governor Bullock inaugurated Jnly 22d. Hia flrst message sent on tho 24th began as follows.*—* “Senators and Representatives, congrat ulating you as the Representatives of the people, upon the .establishment of civil government, and the fact that Georgia is I don’t want to go,” muttered Martha. She, however, dragged herself up stairs. Unwilling feet, you know, find it hard to climb ; besides, they are so clumsy. “Martha,” said grandma, “will you try and find my specs ? I am pretty sure I left them in tho dining room.” “No von didn’t," cried Martha, iu a cross, contradictory toue ; “yon always loso them up here,” and she rummaged round the chamber, tumbling things er like the North wind. ‘-No matter,” said tho dear old lady, seeing she would Lave much to do to put things to rights again, “no matter Mar tha, they will come to liaud,” and she quietly put down the newspaper for by and by. Martha left her, aud went down stairs with a pont. • ‘O dear.! where are Martha’s civil, obliging manners ? Why, those are her company manners.—Slio puts them on in the parlor, and puts them off when she leaves the parlor. She wears them before visitors, and lmngs them up when they ore gone. You see she has no man ners at home. Bhe is cross and disoblig ing, and rude and selfish. Is not that bad V Martha forgot that home is the first place to bo polite in—polite up stairs, down stairs, in doora, out doors, in the kitcliing os well as in the parlor. There is no 8pot in the house where good inan- rs can be dispensed with ; and no spot tne wide, wide world where good man ners are more important than among s own family .—Child’s Paper. Threatening Symptoms in Eng land.—-London, October 17.—A crowded meeting was last night held in favor of The animal was soon releived, and course of two hours a heavy dose of salts was administered. In twenty-four hours over three hundred bots were discharged, all perfectly dead. Since that time Pr. L. lias al wavs used chloroform lor bots, and invariably with success, when used in time. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish cholic from bots. For either disease clilorolorm is the best remedy, answer the indications in the majority of cases of supposed grabs or cholic, the fol lowing compound will be found effectual as a general prescription, and farmers and stock owners who keep a supply of the medicine on hand for emergencies will have no reason to regret it, as by its timely use tbey may save many valuable horses and mules : Take of chloroform one ounce, laudnum one once, tinetbre of asafietida one ounce, and mix. Give it in a pint and a half or a quart of thin syrup, well shaken together. When the horse will eat or drink, give him gruel freely, and follow the dose in a f< hours with a brisk cathartic of salts. Glauber salts are preferable to Epsom salts, but tbe latter or any other conven ient cathartic will answer the purpose, the object being to remove the destroyed grubs. The same cathartics are prefer red, because they are febrifuge and re duce the irritntiou of the bowels and general system. Somo writers contend that gruli harmless to horses. This is true within certain periods of their existence, bnt there is a time when they lieeome highly detrimental if not fatal to the animal.— The grab or nit fly deposits its eggs ot tho forelegs and breasts of the horse, where the animal heat hatches them.— The diminutive grub, armed with pier cer and grapples, as above described, en deavors to penetrate tho skin of the ani mal, which produces an itching sensation. The horse, to allay this, scratches them off with liis teeth; they ore canght on the lips, and become fastened to the mucous membrane, where, becoming mixed with the horse’s food, they are conveyed into the stomack. Here they subsist on fluids and mucous secretions until they become full grown. Up to this period they do not materially interfere with the horse's health. Now, however, like many other insects, they become dormant after fasten ing themselves, and entier tho chrysaliz- ed state prejiaratory to coming out per fect flies. Now they becomo dangerous, It is as natural for them to fix or bury themselves when they aro going into tlie dormant state as it is for tho silk worm to spin its cocoon, tho cotton worm to id itefdf in a leaf, or the grass worm to bury itself in the earth or beneath some object, where undisturbed it can pass the chrysalis state and come out a perfect moth. It is not in feeling, but in seek ing this resting place that the -grub in jures the stomach. The grubs of similar ago collect and futten themselves in close juxtaposition. The younger grabs, hatched from a different deposit of eggs, do not join with those of mature age, but bide tbeir time. This fixing gives the horse pain, and causes injury in pro portion to the number of grubs. Should this number be small, and the animal able to withstand them, after a given pe riod they hatch, a&d a wingless gad fly English intervention in the Franco-Ger man war. It was resolved by the com mittee, after a fall debate, that a great procession of the people should be as sembled on Wednesday night in Palace Yard, to proceed tbence.in a body to the house of Mr. Gladstone and denounce the failure of the Government to inter vene for peace; and (hat it sboutd then march to tbe residence of the Prussian Ambassador, there to express the horror and disgust of the working classes at the prosecution of the war. v On hearing this tho Government announced its intention of closing Palace Yard and of arresting the leaders of the movement.

[From the St. Louis (Mo.) Tii C0TT0H AUD COTTON MANUFAC TURES. What the Great Competitive Display Should Teach Us. As a corollary to the great cotton hibition, and as indicative of the progress ol the South iu manufactures, as well as what the South may be expected to complish in the future, it is worthy of mention that the amount of cotton o sumed by cotton mills in the South 1865 and 1866 was 60,000 bales, which quantity was gradually increased in 1800 and 1870 to 80,000 bales, or nu increase of thirty-three per. cent. While this crease is merely indicative, it proves that the South is awakening to a sense of its true interests; that it is beginning to net upon the practical idea of producing not only the raw, but the manufactured ma terial. It is possible that its interests will permit it to become a manufacturer of the finest cotton goods, bnt that it can becomo the producer of the coarse goods necessary for immediate nse among its population is no longer a matter of doubt. It is time that this new leaf was turned. The South has long enough been the handmaid and servant of the East, and we confidently look for the period when it can so far declare its in* dependence as to insist npon tho moat rigid euforcement of the enlivening and only true political economy—fiee trade. Earthquake Reports, Washington, Oct 20.—The -^iwrtqaake dispatches from nearly all points in New York and the North say that no serious damage or loss of life has been reported. At Boston the buildings sensibly vibra ted. There was much alarm among tbe people employed in upper stories. The block of granite on the oorner of State street and merchants’ row was cracked. Another block woa forced out three or four inches. The shock lasted thirty seconds. The shock was felt at Montreal, Saeksville and Bangor with muok force, at Burlington; Vermont, the shook stop ped t|ie clocks and destroyed crockery. No serious damage. At Brunswick, Maine, it threw down chimneys. Its direction was northeasterly southwesterly. At St- Catharine, windows were broken. At Sarato3.i, some of the bnildingi were much‘damaged. Tlio shock was prece ded by a rumbling sound. At Troy, five luiihlrod school children were panicked by the shock. At Itonddout this morn ing the earthquake shook the houses to their foundations' and sent tlra people stagering 'about. At Portland, about 300 feet of tlio bed on tho Ogdunbnrg Railroad, across Otter creek, in Stan dish, settled ten feet during the earthquake. At Itliaca, eleven o’clock this morning, there were three shocks, lasting three quarters of a minute, aud the people fled from their houses. At Albany, it had a marked vibration, a rumbling noise was keanldtiring the shock,and tho merenry in the registering bormometer was violently agitated. At Oooperetown, 11 a. si., tho shock felt was very brief. PfUbADRLMfiA, October 20.—Heavy rain all day.

Thus did these two great and immortal Virginian chief tains show, by the expressions which es caped them in the hour of delirium which preceded dissolution, that tbeir khougj; s and memories recurred to the duti. s de volved upon them, and thecauae of Con federate independence, confided, in m» large a measure, to their efforts.

In this stage they copulate. Tbe male then dies, and the female goes on with the work of laying eggs. Thus tracing the history of one gen eration, we see the reason why some have concluded that bots do no haem: They hsive been fonnd in horses dying from other causes or killed in good health, where no signs of injury by them could be detected. They find not in such cases reached the ago when they were about to go into the chrysalis state, for it is here only that they are injurious to any mate rial extent, when fastening themselves in the coat of the stomach they do their evil work. Failing , m this, they pass off harmless. They live on animal fluid and are fond of the sweet taste of pus. After twentyyears of investigation, Dr. itable instance of this approaching enfranchisement is the experience of the “Augusta” mill in Georgia. This is the largest mill in the South, having 508 looms, which consumed last year 2,907, 675 pounds of cotton, realizing 51,033,000 worth of goods. A good idea of the rapid growth of Southern mills may be obtained from the exhibition of samples at our fair. One firm, that of J. M.

This mill makes a variety of other cotton goods, and tlio “Columbus” sheetings and slutting made by another mill at the same place have no superiors in dura bility and finish. Indeed, the goods made ly these Southern mills compare favorably with any Eastern made manufacturers in fin ish,' weight and nppearanoe.
