The October elections are over.— They enable us to form a tolerable ac curate idea of the true political situa tion of the country. In Georgia we have to recount a victory for the Liberal ticket so unex ampled as to take her out of the list of doubtful States, and practically to pronounce in advance the decision of at least 125 votes in the Electoral •College. To this number it is only necessary to add sixty votes to elect Greeley and Brown. In Pennsylvania the distinguished Chairman of the Liberal Committee has eloquently characterized the meth ods by which the result of the elec tion there was accomplished. We •commend nis statement to the thoughtful attention of the counN try. Jii Ohio, despite most un precedents ■cd gains tor the Liberal Democratic ticket, .the Grant managers have car ried the election by a reduced majori •tv, having brought to the polls their entire reserve vote. Had our Demo cratic friends in certain localities of that great commonwealth shown the same earnestness and activity, and enabled us like our enemies to record our entire strength, they would now be exulting over a brilliant victory. In Indiana the Democratic and Lib eral forces have achieved a most im portant success over Pennsylvania tactics, most unscrupulously employed by the Administration and its allies, showing thus that a free people when ■aroused know their rights and dare maintain them. Indiana lias fairly •demonstrated that she can neither be “‘bought nor bullied". The moral of Jthese results is that victory is still in plain view for our national ticket, and that energy and courage will assure it. That victory must be won. If we menu to preserve free institutions on this continent we must assure it. The event in Pennsylvania, on Tuesday last, 'When considered in its causes, is the most appalling political eatasthrophe that ha 9 ever taken place in this country. Should the system -through which this catastrophe was brought atcut be tolerated by the people and foisted on the other States, it seals the doom of freedom in Amer ica. A sad contrast it is surely that Jibe city in which oar republic was bora amid tho anthems of a free peo ple should now bo the first to toll the knell of its liberties. It is for the free ombougbt people of all the States to calmly review the fearful crime against suffrage in Pennsylvania, and to de cide whether it shall be repeated within their own borders. For the first time the system of free government and *tl»e -sanctity of the ballot are really on trial in the -United States. From this hour forward the •preservation of the franchise in Us in tegrity dwarfs all other issues. Let our friends in each of the States catch inspiration from the heroic coo duct of our fellow-citizens in Georgia and in Indiana, aud from now till No let the struggle be manful and unceasing.for liberty ami an untainted ballot-box, for 'Reform and an honest Administration ci the Go*eminent.

Our city was startled a few 1 evening since by the circulation of a rumor to-the effect that a duel had been fought in the city but alas ! the rumor proved too true. The facts are briefly these, Mr. Wallace Hask ell insulted a lady in the Episcopal Bazaar appologized for the insult, the appoligy was accepted by her escort and at this juncture Mr. Houston Force, come up and conducted the la dy away. Next day Mr. H. T. Force, while Haskell was passing, came out of a store and struck Haskell repeated ly with a stick—Haskell then sent a challenge to Force by Mr. J. H. Townsend. Force declined to receive the challenge because he was unwil ling to recognize Haskell as a gentle man. Townsend promptly took Haskells place and sent Force a chal lenge by Mr. J. 11, Smith which Col. John R, Hart, who was acting for Force would not accept from Smith, wliome he claims to have disgraced some years ago. Subsequently Towngend and Force met and arranged the preliminaries for a duel between themselves which was fought, resulting in Mr. Townsend’s receiving very dangerous wounds— possibly fatal. The weapons used “were double barrelled shot-guns—eight buck-shot in each barrel—distance 40 paces— place on a public street near the cein eiery in this city. The whole occur ance Ims thrown gloom over the friends of all parties and over our citi zens generally. Cotton is coming in rapidly. Trade brisk— The scarcity of news must serve as an excuse for the uninteresting char acter of this communication as welj as an apology for my failing to send one last week. J. A. A. Atlanta Oct, 21st 1872. John Forsyth’s Rebuke to South, ein Straights. During the earlier stages of the struggle which ended in the nomina tion of Mr. Greeley at Baltimore, and even for some time subsequent, there was no sterner and more indexible “Straight-out” Democrat than John Forsyth, of Alabama, whose name has been identified with Southern Dem ocracy for two generations. Prevent ed by bad health and undertaking an active part in this campaign, be has been writiug to his paper, the Mobile Register, from his summer retreat in Virginia, a series of letters, strongly supporting the Liberal movement and Horace Greeley, and in bis last we find the following emphatic rebuke ot those of liis former comrades who (to use his own language) are “wasting their manhood and dwarfing their souls, with beating the air with idle words, under an impos-ible banner, on the edges of this momentous con flict—which class Jubal Early has lira* tued to the life.” As we havo a few of the same sort left in Georgia, we commend to them the truthful and pa triotic Southern utterance of one of their late chieftians, who has had the manhood, like General Early, to re trace his steps, when he saw whither they were leading him. Thus speaks Join Forsyth: Curae what iray,f.crn the dusty fields of the hardest fought battles in the great States east and west of us, no Southern State can af ford to fail in this contest. Georgia ha 9 blazed the way, aud shown that her interests and manhood are in her judgment, deeply at stake. Neither Virginians, Georgians, Alabamians, nor any of the other States of the South that are not band-cuffed and hobbled from Washington, may, with out discredit to their traditional vir tues of high and generous tone, be outdone by the East and West when they extend their hands “across the bloody chasm," and say “come, broth ers, let us restore the liberty, the equality, the peace and the friendship of the olden time, and down with the shoulder straps and thieves iu the gov ernment.! And no uian can say that -onr Liberal allies, and the Eastern and Western Democracy, are not fighting up to this sentiment ami doing deeds even beyond their promises. There is no Presidential battle like this one in the annals of the country.- I really pity the men who, with the power to strike a single blow in it, are wasting their manhood and dwarfing their souls with beating the air with idle words under an impossible banner on the edges of this momentous conflict. TV in we or lose in it, the after thoughts of these wind-mill knights are m t to jbe envied. Jubal Early has already | limmed the class to the life. The fervent spirit of Georgia cannot j be confined to iler own boundaries.— Let the people of our own proud State open their hearts to receive its inspira i tion and nerve them with the nvovable purpose to equal the feat of their next •door neighbors ; and thus settle the question for once and all that white brains and courage are not to be dom inated by ignorance and stupidity, handled bv white thieves and backed by the power o‘s the Federal govern ment. Let this be done not?; and we shall hear no more of carpet baggers and j>e7' se negro party. And this is a consummation as devoutly to be wished for the negro’s sake as for the white man’s. From the New.imi Herald Republicanism vs. Centralism. NUMBER THREE. The villainous plunder of seven Southern States by irresponsible scala wag governments, must indelibly stamp the character of the present ad ministration as beneath the soundings of virtue’s plummet. In vain may we search the history of despotic govern ments, under the most despotic Pi in ces, for parallels of corruption. Prominent Statesmen at the North, among whom w r e may mention Horace- Greeley, very early foresaw of the wisdom of that policy which would most speedily and effectively secure peace, harmony and reconcilia tion. General pardon for political o f feuses was confidently believed to be the surest means for the attainment of this result. Indeed, it has always appeared lo my mind, that no one, who had the good of the country at heart, could have re fused this boon to the South. There could be no consistency in excluding from the provisions of the Amnesty Bill the influential men of the South. With the downfall of the South our leading Statesman were anxious to re turn to their allegiance, Notwith standing the illiberal policy of the gov ernment towards them, they have la bored with hand and brain to secure peace. Amnesty is neither more nor less than oblivion of the past. It is essentially a condition of peace. A writer on international law says: “An amnesty is a perfect oblivion ot the past; and the end of peace is to extinguish all subjects of discord Though the treaty should be wholly silent on this head, the amnesty, by the very nature of the peace, is neces sarily implied in it.” And again, ”In many cases the safest, and, at the same time the most just method of appeasing seditions is to give the peo pie satisfaction. And if there existed no grounds to justify the insurrection (a circumstance which, perhaps, neve r happens) even in such a case it be comes neccessary, as wc have obser ved, to grant an amnesty where the offenders are numerous. When the Amnesty is once published and ac cepted all the past must be buried in oblivion ; nor must any one be be called to account for what has been done during the disturbances ; and in general the sovereign, whoso Avoid ought ever to be sacred, is bound to the faithful obseivnnee of every promise he has made, even to rebels, —I mean to such of his subjects as have revolted without reason or necesi h.”—Mattel Law ot Nations. Such was the doctrine held by this distinguished author on international law. It was the legal right of every man in the South to claim pardon for tire past according to the very terms of the surrender. It was the duty of the conqueror to grant it. Such was the position and such the policy advocated by Mr Greeley irr mediately after the surrender at Ap pomatox. Had his wise counsel been heeded, we had long since experienced the blessings of peace and witnessed the restoration of fraternal relations But what is the'solemn record of his. torv ? The mails have been burden ed with petitions to Congress. Our petitions have t>een slighted. We have sought every honorable means to attest our loyalitv to the govern inent. We have been told that the followers of Lee and of Jackson are unfit to be trusted. It was not until a thunder peal came from Cincinnati, which startled a bribed Congress from its fancied security, that the shackles were taken from our limbs. To save the failing fortunes of the party, the bill for general amnesty was hurried through Congress and received the sanction of the royal peace-maker. And how eloquently do those who now favor his pretention prate about general amnesty ; when the fact is patent to every one, with one eye and half sense, that Congress and the President have thwarted every meas ure for the passage of the bill. Fellow citizens, the persistent ex. elusion of onr best men from all influ ence in the government has brought sorrow to our hearts and desolation to our homes. Whatever we have suf sered from carpet bag legislation, is directly traceable to this most mis cbieveous policy. What crimes have not been perpetrated by these govern merits, and that, in the names of peace, and loyal itv and law ? Whole States have been mercilessly plundered amt cities sacked to gorge the vora cious appetites of the foul desecrators of the temples of liberty and of God. Look at the utter prostration of our industry, the depletion of our treasury the ruin of our commerce and the desolation of our land. Look at our once blooming fields now given to the briar and the weed. Look at capital as well as emigration frightened from our country by the strong hand of plunder. I need not address this argument to the true sons of Georgia. The histo ry of carpet-bag government is known and read of all men. But fellow citi-> zens, phrazes lose their force by con stunt reiteration. Facts are stubborn things. With these we desire to deal. Look, for one moment at the frightful pecuniary submersion of the Southern States. The debt of Georgia in 1801 was $2,670,575; in 1871 the known liability of the State was not less than twenty seven millions. In Florida, in 1861, the public debt was three hundred and seventy thousand ; in 1870 under Radical rule, it is not less than fifteen millions, State taxes, be fore the war, were $83,000 per an num ; 1871 they are $476,301. Local taxes increased from 23 cents in 1861 on the hundred dollars lo $1,50 in 1871. The debt of Alabama, in 1861 was seven and one-half millions ; in 1871 it leached $36,761,819, with a further indebtedness tor railway bonds of sixteen millions. In Mississippi, in 1861, the cost of the State govern ment, per annum, was $350,000 ; in 1861, over two millions. Local taxa tion in 1861 was $970,000 ; in 1871 over two and one half millions. The debt of Texas, in IS6I, was two mil. lions ;in 1871, $44,034,782. The rate ot taxation in 1861 was cents on the one hundred dollars ; in 1871, $2,08. In Arkansas the debt in 1861 was two millions ; in 1871, it is eight millions, with eleven millions railway indebtness. The rate ot taxation lias increased from 40 cents, in 1861, to $3,00 on the one hundred dollars in 1871, The debt of South Carolina in 1861, was four millions , in 1871, $34,599,763. Local taxes, in 18G1, were $1,200,000 ; in 1871 over three millions. The debt of North Caroli na in 1861 was twelve millions ; in 1871 over $36,000,00). Here, then, fellow-citizens is an of pub lic debt in these smitten States of over two hundred millions ot dollars. And yet we hear from day to day of Radical eoonomy. It is Radical ras cality and every Radical robbery.* But look again at the wonderful decrease in the area as well as value of improved lands in the South. The . area of improved lauds in South Car olina in 18G1 was $1 ? '00 ? 000 ; in 1871, $3,000,000. The value ot farms has decreased in this stricken State from $139,000,000 in ISGI to $45, 000,000 in 1871. Here is a less of over two thirds of the value of farm ing lands. In Florida, in IS7I, a con vent ion of tax payers declared : “That after the actual cost of produc tion there will not remain in the hands of producers a sufficient amount to pay the taxes on their property, thus leaving them without the means of support for their families and em ployees for the ensuing year.” The value of farms in that State in 1861 was sixteen millions ; in 1871 only ten millions. The number of acres of improved lands in our own State has decreased from eight, millions in 1861 to six millions in 1871, and the value of farms Iroru $157,099,0)3 to $94, 0)9,00). In Alabama the area of unproved lands has decreased from six and one-half millions in 1861 to five millions in IS7I, and their value from $199,099,0)9 to $81,099,09). In Louisiana the decrease in the value of improved lands is from $231,9)3,- 099 to $68,099,09) in 1871. In Tex as the value of improved lands de crease from $88,09),033, to $00,090 090, in 1371, 28,000,090 off. The value ot improved lands in Arkan sas has decreascsed from $91,000,- 000 in 1861 to $40,000,009 in 1871. There has been a corresponding de crease in the area of improved lands. In North Carolina the value of im proved farms in 1861 was $142,003, 030. and 1871 $78,009,093. The tax es have grown to such an alarming extent that in August, 1871, the Gov ernor officially announces; “The peo pie cannot bear the necessary taxa tion, without being deprived of their property, air 1 , in many cases, of the necessaries of life.” What a shameful record is this? And what party ha ß brought this terrible state of affairs on the country? We say the policy of the present administration has done it. No mail can have been so unob servant of events as to question the proposition. ' But it may be argued, that all t his results from the prostration of industry and the complete revolution of our labor system consequent ui the rebel* lion Look to the financial condition of Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia and Kentucky. Here was the bloody are na of war. Certainly it there be any force in the argument it will apply to these States. The local taxes in Ken tucky, in 1861, were £7,744.232 ; in 187 L $8,103,200. In Tennessee the local taxes in 1861 were £6,795,0)0 in 1871 $6,643,000 ; more in 1861 than 1871. In Missouri, in 18G1, lo* cal taxes were $6,246,812 ; in 1871 $8,440,512, In Virginia in 13-31, tlie local tax were $11,437,821, and 1871 $10,745,288. The local taxes in the seven States which have been under carpet-bag rule have, in some cases thribbled since 1861. The fact is, fellow citizens, those four States have thrown off the tyran ny ot carpet bag rule, and this accounts for their superior prosperity, financially. Neither the area nor the value of their improved lands have decreased. Capitol and labor have found profitable investment, Virgin ia and Missouri were redeemed by coalition of the Democratic and Lib eral Republicans. This coalition sav ed them from the bankruptcy which has overtaken their seven sister States. And what have we to show for this outlay of public money ? Where is the internal improvement and the free schools of which we have heard so much. No, fellow-citizens, it has been systematic plunder and legalized robbery, nothing more, nothing less. I desist from further comment on this unpleasant subject. The figures are startling. Shame on the man and shame on the Congress which could witness such wholesale plunder and theft, aim give aid and comfort to criminals. In the names of truth and history we charge every dollar filched from a bleedingand impoverished peo ple to Gen. Grant, backed and encour aged by a Radical Congress, lie has added and abetted Bullock arid other thieves, and is not one whit less crim inal because lie has operated on » more extensive scale. They who endorse his administration endorse Bullock, and there can be no inconsistency in their defending the administration of Bullock. But, fellow-citizens, the ruinous re sults of carpet-bag legislation, are fur ther seen in the serious obstacles thrown in the way of trade between the South and Northwest, Hitherto the Southern State's have furnished a ready market for the abundant grain as well ns the stock raised in the Northwest. Why the steady decrease in the demand for products of this fer tile region ? The reason is obvious. Labor follows capital and capital seeks profitable investment, The enormous taxes imposed on the fruits of our industry for tire support *of scalawag governments, have frighten ed Capital from southern fields Not Ku-Ivlux organizations, but tax gath erer's have done this. As an inevitable consequence of this check on invest ment, emigrants have had no encour agement to settle among us. This accounts, too, tor the very remarka ble decrease in the area of improved, lands arid their frightful decrease in value. The demand for labor has much to do with the value of lands.— When the laborers are few, wages are high. High wages render farming compartivoly unprofitable. Asa log : - ical consequence, lands decrease in value and in the amount under culti vation. One of the chief difficulties in tire South has been, and is, the lack ot labor. Labor has no encourage ment whe v e burdensome taxes con sume its fruits. Partisan legislation and carpet-bag domination, have brought utter demoralization to our labor system, P. F.
