THE ELECTIONS.
So far, the returns from Indiana, Ohio
and West Virginia are favorable to the
Democrats, and greatly encourages ub
in our hopes of rescuing the country
next November from the hands of the
spoilers. The effect the elections in
those States will have upon the general
canvas is set forth by the New York
Herald :
When the sun sets to-morrow evening
the Presidential election will he virtu
ally decided, if both Ohio and Indiana
shall have been carried by the same
political party. But if the Republicans
win in one State and the Democrats in
the other, there will be a more strenu
ous contest in the few doubtful States
on which the Presidential election will
turn than has ever been witnessed in
our political history. In that event,
New York will be the main battle
ground, because its thirty-five electoral
votes will probably turn the scale.

Distinguished speakers from Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi will address
the people.
Barbecue free to all, and plenty for
all, both white and black.
Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, Gen. Jno. T.
Morgan, of Alabama, Hon. B. H. Hill,
of Geoigia, Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, of

The Louisville Courier-Journal asks
Is it Governor Routt or ex-Governor
Routt ?
It is Governor-Out
Gov. Chamberlain’s proclamation, or
dering the rifle clubs of South Carolina
to give up their arms, is denounced every-
where, both North and South, as a most
tyranical and outrageous order. It will
not be heeded, and its animus will only
recoil upon himself and party.
The idea obtains that it is the Hon.
John W. Wofford, Demooratio Elector
for the State at large, who is going
round bootlicking Dr. Felton. It is a
mistake. Hon. John W. Wofford is in
better business. It is Tatum Wofford
who is running hand in glove with that
eminent disorganizer.
Dr. Felton and W. T. Wofford—not
the Hon. John W. Wofford—made
speeches yesterday in the City Hall.
Felton praised Wofford and Wofford
praised Felton, and, to use the expression
of a competent judge, a more vapory,
gassy swash of mutual boot-licking was
never before poured out before and intel-
lgent audience.
Rome, Ga., Oct. 10, 1870.
Tho club met pursuant to adjourn
ment, and was called to order by the
President.
The Secretary being absent, J. F.
Shanklin was elected Secretary pro.
tew..
On motion, the committee appointed
at the last meeting were requested to
perfect their organization and report to
the club at its next meeting.
A 1*:tter was read from T. R. Jones,
Chairman of the Congressional Execu
tive Committee, announcing that Hon.
T. M. Norwood would speak in this city
on Saturday next.
M. A. Nevin, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Speakers, announced that
arrangements were being perfected for
the speaking, and that he was in cor"
respondence with other gentlemen
whom he felt assured would address
the people of Floyd at an early day.
On motion, the President appointed
the following committee on music—S.
Carnochan, jr., J. L. Johnson, J. K
Hawes, L. M. Hall and B. F. Buck'
waiter.
Mr. Adkins, manager telegraph office,
notified the club that he would furnish
the latest news from the elections in
Indiana and Ohio, without charge, up
to 10 o’clock to-night.
On motion, a resolution of thanks
was voted Mr. Adkins.
On motion, the chairman of each
of the committees appointed, be re
quested to convene their committees
at the earliest time, and the work for
which they were appointed vigorously
pushed ahead.
On motion, the President was author
ized to appoint, at his leisure, an Ex
ecutive Committee, to consist of ten
members.
The following additional names were
registered as members:

fore the Presidential election of 1880
all tho States will choose their mem
bers of Congress ahd State officers bn.
the same day,and that nomombelrdf the
Union will nave any advantage over its
fellow members in the national contest.
Congress did its part toward this im
portant reform by the act of 1872, re
quiring all members of the 45th and
every succeeding congress to be chosen
on the Tuesday following the first Mon
day in November. It is owing, in a
great measure, to that law of Congress
that so much progress has been made
toward uniformity within the last four
years. Unfortunately, however, an act
was passed March 3d, 1875, modifying
the law of 1872, “so as not to apply to
any State that has not yet changed its
day of election, and whoso constitution
must ho changed in order to effect a
change in the day of election of State
officers in said State.” This relaxation
only postpones the completion of
a reform which is in full progress.—
New Hampshire, which was not bound
by constitutional restrictions, changed
the day of her State election at the last
session of her legislature. Ohio, Indi
ana and Maine are the only States in
which the change remains to be made,
and we are encouraged to believe that
this is the last of our Presidential elec
tions in which particular States will
have a political weight beyond that to
which they are entitled by their popu-
lation.
THE TURKISH QUESTION.
The New York Herald thus sets forth
the difficulties that environ the Sultan
of Turkey in the solution of tho Ser
vian question:
Behind the Sultan is the Moslem
power, of which the Sultan is the pup
pet, and that power declares against the
peace as proposed. If the Sultan makes
jeace on the terms presented to him
>y the Cabinets of Europe he believes
that the fanatical element of the popu
lation will rise and butcher all within
reach, nnd therefore he dare not accept
the peace. If he does not accept that
peace he defies the nations by whose
consent alone Turkey exists, and he
must face a Russian invasion, before
which he would inevitably go down.
Russia, England, Austria, Germany and
France are in accord on the terms
which it is declared the Sultan must
accept as a'.basis of further negotiation
First, and unconditional armistice is
demanded—that is, a cessation of the
war; noxt, the Porte must assent that
Servia and Montenegro shall retain the
independence they possessed before the
war, und that Montenegro shall have a
seaport; and, finally, it must concede
“liboral autonomy’’for Bosnia, Herze
govina and Bulgaria. These terms
were presented by England. But the
Porte was about to reject them because
they required that the Sultan should
"abdicate the sovereignty of three prov'
inces.” They were certainly open to
that objection; but the Cabinets are
not listening much to objections of that
nature fsom Constantinople. The clear
intimation from the English Ministry
that if these terms were rejected Eng
land could no longer support or befriend
the Sultan’s government, seems to have
induced that government to reconsider
its determination to reject the condi
tions, and so the end is not yet.
Deportment in Church.
A writer in the South Florida Jour
nal gives expression to very sensible
views upon the mexousftlile, ungentle-
madly habit of misbehaving in'cnurch.
There are those who claim to be of
gentle blood and courteous training
who disport themselves in our congre
gations like illmannered, untutored
heathen. Tho following is the articul
referred to:
Behavtor is in licative of character.
This criterion applies more ex
actly and severely to deportment in
ohuroh than to deportment elsewhere.
It does not matter what pretentions a
man may make for himself—no mat
ter what his relations may be ; no mat
ter what church is concerned, Protes
tant, Catholic, Jewish or Christian—
the man who so behaves in the place
of worship as to embarrass or disturb
the worshippers will forfeit his claim
to be regarded as a gentleman. Socie
ty will hold him to this conclusion.
Nobody obliges an unwilling party to
attend divine service. If lie has no
fear of God, and no regard for the opin
ions of the wise and good, ifhe is not
restrained by the ordinary motives
which influence cultivated and Chris
tian men, and if he will behave like a
ruffian in the place where the Awful
God is approached in acts of solemn
service—then his place is elsewhere; he
has no business there; and tho sharp
edge of the ciyil law must be applied to
teach him respect for the right of others.
Strange things have happened in our
da]!, but nothing so strange as that
which is telegraphed to the Boston Post
by its Washington correspondent nB a
possibility of the near future. It is
this: “ In case Ohio is carried by the
Democrats at tho approaching State
election Hayes’ name is to be with
drawn. It being demonstrated that he
cannot carry his own State, a change
must he made in tho head of the ticket
or all iB lost. This being done who can
rally all the elements of strength in the
party and win a victory in tne face of
defeat? Who but Uiysse3 S. Grant?
Chandler exultingly points to the fact
that every Republican Convention of
the year has warmly and cordially in
dorsed Grant’s administration. Nearly
one hundred thousand officeholders
would rejoice at the change. Butler
and Blaine pledge every New England
State for him except Connecticut, and
with the remnant of the army now in
the Indian country judioiously placed
in the South enough Southern States
could be controlled to insure the success
of the plot,”
It was Pope who used to swear “God
mend me!” and swearing his favorite
oath one day in the presence of a little
boy, the boy looked at tho diminished
and misshapen form of the great poet,
and said:
“God mend you, indeed ! I think it
would be a good deal easier to make a
new one.”
You talk about mending the Repub
lican party, about reform within its
limits.' I tell you, my fellow-citizens,
that in October and in this November
election, the people of the country
must make a new one.— Congressman
Saylor.

The New York Herald says that Shef*
field’s needy khife grinders want the
English Government to put a tariff on
American produce in revenge for that
which we impose upon certain Eng
lish goods. Lord Carnarvon does not
think that what may be sauce for the
sick American eagle should be sauce
for a robust British (lion. As in Can
ning’s time, the knife grinders prefer a
sixpence to a speech on freedom, and
hence they are not well pleased at His
Lordship’s answer.
The Montgomery Advertiser gives the
following good advice, which our State
contemporaries will do will do well to
heed. It says: “Some of our State
State exchanges publish the names of
the Electors for the State at large and
of their own Congressional District,
omitting all the other District Electors.
This is wrong. The entire Electoral
ticket is to be voted for all over tho
State. Hence their names ought to be
published along with the other Electors,
so that the people may become familiar
with them when they see them on the
ticket to be voted.”

Of the pernicious influence exercised
by the effect of the State elections
advance of the general election, the
New York Herald very forcibly says
We believe that the State elections
which immediately precede a Presiden
tial election,have a malign and corrupt
ing influence in our politics. They
are to be deprecated from every point
of view. They engulf all State quee
tions in the maelstrom of federal poli
tics, and give two or three States a dis
proportionate power in national affairs.
If Ohio and Indiana should both go
Republican or both go Democratic,
these two States will really choose the
President. There is no fairness
lodging so much power in tw,o or three
of the thirty-eight States, and enabling
them to decide the Presidential, elec
tion for the whole Union. We are con
fident that this unfair advantage can
be of no long duration. We are en
couraged to believe that it approaches
extinction by the fact that so much
progress has been made since the last
Presidential election. Pennsylvania
has made a voluntary surrender of her
old position by a constitutional amend
ment transferring her election from Oc
tober to November. Since 1872 North
Carolina, Connecticut and Nebraska
have aUo amended their constitutions
and fixed their State elections on the
same day when all the Presidential
electors are required to he chosen.—
Ohio also attempted the same reform
in the amended constitution which was
submitced to the vote of her people in
August, 1874. That constitution but
rejected for purely local reasons, was
whenever a similar attempt is made
Ohio will change the day of her State
Jere Haralson is not held in high es
teem by the truly loyal of the North
The Brooklyn Argus, a Republican pa
per, thinks no good is to come of put
ting this black exponent on the stump,
In its issue of 26th, it says:
We are sorry to hear that the noto
riouB Jere Haralson, of Alabama, has
beon permitted to take the stump for
Hayes and Wheeler in Indiana. Jere,
by his own confession, is a bribe-taker
and corruptionist. He trained in the
army of scamps which followed the
standard of George E. Spencer, and has
been everything and anything to put
money in the pockets of Jere, If he
were caught in a water-melon patch
some night and shot, it would be a good
thing for the Republican cause in In
diana.
Somtiiing Tangible.—A Near-sighted
rnan out on South Hill went wandering
around among his currant bushes yes
terday afternoon and stooped down
and pulled a live Centennial wasp's
neBt up by tho roots to see what it was.
He diden’s get it anywhere near the
focus of his eyas before he had an idea
that it was a flat iron some of the WO'
men had set outside to cool: than he
thought it might be a concentrated
case of prickly heat; and then it dawn-
,ed upon him that ho had picked up a
raw thunderbolt, and finally his heart
went clear down into his boots as he
realized that he had got hold of the
dangerous end of the Hell Gate explo'
sion and pulled it off.
At a conference of leading represen
tatives of the Tammany and anti-Tam
many Societies, held in New York on
Monday evening, a basis of agreement
was reached which it is believed will
result in restoring harmony between
these two factions of the Democracy.
Tho plan of union thus far perfected is
upon the basis of two-fifths, that is,
anti-Tammany is to receive two out of
every five officials to be elected in No
vember. John Kelly, John Morissey,
Senator Bixby and other well-known
local politicians participated in the
conference, and its result was received
with general satisfaction by the Demo
crats when made known.
The Brooklyn Argus (Rep.) comes to
the defence of Attorney-General Taft
after thiB fashion:
Attorney-General Taft has made a
mistake. It must be obvious to him
now that he cannot enforce any pro
visions of a statute which the Supreme
Court has pronounced unconstitutional.
His order, therefore, will have to be
amended. There is no occasion, though
to treat him as if he had meditated a
willful violation of law. He betrays
ignorence, hut there is nothing to prove
that ke meant to be unscrupulous. Mr.
Taft is a member of the Ohio bar.
On Wendnesday last Mr. Striedeger,
the electrician of the Hell Gate explo
sion, and Mt. G_chran,a praoteial diver,
equiped in diver’s dresses, examined
the broken surface of the reef at Hallett’s
Point. After an hour’s examination of
the bed of the river nearest the lowest
or southernmost buoy it was announced
that so far as had been discovered the
rock had been broken up thoroughly,
and that the action of the dynamite
had beon all that could have been de
sired, and is thought there will be no
need of any further blasting for its re
moval.
“The Dutchman’s farm-horse—fat,
sleek, and slow-moving, like his mas
ter, comfortably housed and abundant
ly fed, with regular hours for every
thing—performed satisfactorily and
well the work of the farm ; but when
exposed to the irregularities and hard
ships of the campaign, and subjected
to the profane and disrespectful treat
ment of the Confederate Jehu, with
Federal cannon thundering in his rear,
the heart of tho Conestoga was broken
and he wilted like a worm on a hot
shovel.”—Dr. Ellzy.
While the sexton’s assistants wero
covering the coffin of Miss Josephine
Brocht, at Greenwood Cemetery, New
York, on Tuesday, the mourners were
startled by the report of a pistol, and
Jacob Lout, the young girl’s lover, fell
mortally wounded only a few paces
from the half-filled grave, by a pistol-
shot fired by his own hand. He lived
only a few hours.
It is high time there was a change
in the administration of affairs in this
country, when men in public stations,
who become aware of crimes against
the Government, are mysteriously put
out of the way, lest they reveal the
knowledge they possess on such sub
jects.—Omaha Herald.
President Grant has had the luck of
