Wodnosdhj, Nov. O, 187-.
Tlie Election.
We go to press this week before
'be result from any precinct in
the county is hoard from. We will
next week give the full vote of
the county by districts. Wc are
apprehensive that the vote will be
small throughout the State.
Tire Senatorsliip.
The next legislature will have
to elect a Senator to succeed lion.
Joshua Hill, whose term expires
on the 4th next March. There are
a number of candidates spoken
of. Among those whose names
are prominently mentioned in that
connexion now, are Gcu. John 13-
Gordon, lion* 11. V. Johnson, Gen.
Golqnitt, Hon. Geo. N. Lester, Dr.
H. V. M. Miller, Gen. H. ! . Ben
ning and Hon H. 11. Ilill, and
from past experience we would
say there will doubtless lie a Con
siderable increase in the number
of aspirants before the time for
1 lie election arrives. It is to be
hoped that the Legislature will
select a man competent to illus
trate Georgia on the floor of the
Senate. There never was a time
when Georgia needed her ablest ,
men in the National Counsels—cool,
clearheaded men, who can wield
an influence for good more than
at the present. The whole theory
of our government is undergoing
a radical change, and if Grant was
re-elected yesterday there should
lie in the Senate, the body that
holds the greatest check upon the
President, men who can throttle
every effort to rob the States of
their reserved lights. \V r e want
no second or third class men elect
ed to gratly the claims of this or
that locality. No man in Georgia
has a local claim nj on that high
office. Let rings be discarded and
combinations to divide the spoils,
which by a system of “log-roll
ing” has heretofore hoisted small
men into important positions, be
crushed by an enlighted public
opinion. We waul in the Senate
for the ifext Congress a mau who
knows his rights and the rights
of his Sta'e, and knowing dares
maintain them.
The Forty-third Congress.
It will be seen bv the following
paragraph, which we find in oftr ex
changes, that ll*e next Congress Joes
not convene, as has been tbe custom,
on the 4ili of March, immediately
upon the adjournment of its prede
cessor, but the meeting baa been
postponed until the first Monday in
December. Like a similar bill passed
by the Legislature of Georgia, elected
in 1808, there was an object in effect
ing this change, and it is clearly evi.
dent that there was no necessity for
tbe change, but that it was done for
partisan pui|>oses. It would strike
any intelligent mind as proper that,
with tbe inauguration of n new ad.
ministration, and with representative*
elected fresh 'from the people, a new
Congress should immediately Assem
ble to cany into effect the verdict of
tbe people at tbe ballot box. Bot
we apprehend this change wns made
for the purpose of enabling the party
in power to disregard the voice of
tbe people in the Presidestial elec
tion. If it becomes necessary, in
order to keep Grant in power, the
present Congress having a large ma
jority of Republicans, could trump up
some excuse to throw out enough
votes to accomplish their object and
there would bo no new Congress con
vening ou the day of bis inaugura
tion to repudiate this high-handed
act and carry into effect tbe will of
the people. And by tbe time that
body would meet, the President
would be clotbed with all tbe power
of the executive and could take steps
u» secure bis triumph by military
power, backed up by an unscrupu
lous army of office seekers and a
defeated parly, and the delusive cry
that the Government was going into
the hands of Rebels :
“Tbe Forty-third Congress will not
meet until the Erst Monday of De
cember, 1873, unless sooner called
together in extraordinary session.
The impression prevails among many
parsons that the act of January 22,
1867, requiring a new Congress to
assemble on March 4lh, iitMuedwilefy
ou tbe adjournment of its predeces
sors, is still in force-, but this law was
lupealed by the thirtieth section of
the United States statute approved
April 20th, 1871, and to be found ou
! page twelve of the laws passed at the
: first session of the forty second C’on-
I gress. The repealing Motion is con
tained in a deficiency appropriation
ad, ami the entire statute is well
worth examining, as a curious illus
tration of the incongruous measure*
that are crowded into one bill during
the expiiing hours of a session of
1 Congress.”

One of the most important confis
cation cases arising out of the'war
lias just been decided. Tbe property
of \V. N. . cVeigh, of Alexandria,
Va., was confiscated during tbe war
through proceedings in tbe United
States Circuit Court for tbe State of
Virginia, Judge Underwood presid
ing. A bouse and lot were sold
under decree, Judge Underwood’s
wife becoming the purchaser. Sub
sequenily Underwood and wife con
veyed it to a trustee for the benefit
ol Mrs. Underwood. McVeigh, after
the war, brought suit against Under
wood and wife, and the proceedings
in Underwood’s court were set aside
by tbe United States Supreme Court,
wliicb declared the whole proceeding
to be a shameless one. amigo Un
derwood kept possession of the house
and lot, refusing to give them up,
and McVeigh suod Underwood in
ejectment in the Corporation Court
to get possession of the propel ty,
and a verdict in his favor was the
result.— World.
A Sudden Death. —Mr. James A.
Sledge, formerly editor of the South
ern Banner at Athens, but lately en
gaged in the Comptroller General’s
office iu this city, came to bis death
very suddenly on Monday night, tho
cause of wlrcli is supposed to have
been congestion. He was seen ou
the streets apparently in good health
on Monday. : ; oine time during the
uight he died when no one was with
him. A post mortem examination
was held. There was no indications
of any bruises or ill-treatment on his
person, tbe blood appeared out on
tbe surface of the skin, which led tbe
jury to think lie died as stated above.
His remains were conveyed to Ath

gentlemen who were specially chosen
lor the purpose.— At. Herald.
