A CAUTION TO RADICALS WIIO EX
rECT TO VOTE ILLEGALLY, OR TO INDUCE
OTHERS TO DO 80.
The pardoning power of the Governor of
Georgia, says the Atlanta Constitution,
under the present Constitution, is a shame
less charter of unhallowed authority. lie
can forestall justice, and this.ia ever dan
gerous. That tnis power was framed as it
is for political use, no man can deny.
That many men expect to vote illegally
at the next election, and induce others to
do so, no one doubts. And this, with the
prospects of a gubernatorial pardon if they
get into the law’s clutches by reason of
their services to the Bullock faction.
But let this idea be dispelled at once and
permanently. Men who vote illegally , or
persuade others to do so, will be beyond
Governor Bullock’s power to help them.
Tl*w. w ill have to take their chance before
the United States Court, over which Gov
ernor Bullock has no jurisdiction.
AVe give for the benefit of persons who
may be so disposed the law on the subject.
It is the 19th section of the act of Congress,
entitled “an act to enforce the rights of
citizens of the United States to vote in the
several States of the Union,” etc.
Let every word of it be engraved on the
public mind.
Sec. 19. And be it further enacted. That
if, in any election for Representatives, etc.,
any person shall knowingly personate and
vote, or attempt to vote, in the name of any
other person, whether living, dead, or fic
tious, or vote more than once at the same
election, for any candidate for the same office,
or vote at a place where he may not be
lawfully entitled to vote, or vote without
having a lawful right to vote, or do any un
lawful act to secure a right or an opportu
nity to vote for himself or any other person,
or by force, threat, menace, intimidation,
bribery, reward or offer, or promise thereof,
or otherwise unlawfully prevent any quali
fied voter, of any State of America, or of
any Territory thereof, from freely exercis
ing the right of suffrage, or by any such
means induce any such voter to refuse to
exercise such right, or compd or induce by
means, or otherwise, any officer of an elec
tion in any such State or Territory to receive
a vote from a person not legally qualified
or entitled to vote; or interfere in sny
manner with aqy officer of said elections in
the discharge of his duty ; or by any such
means, or other unlawful means, induce
any officer of an election, or officer whose
duty it is to ascertain, announce, or declare
the result of any such elect on. or give or
make certificate, document or evidence in
relation thereto, violate or refuse to comply
with his duty or any law regulating the
same; or knowingly and willfully receive
the vote of any person not entitled to vote ;
or aid, counsel , procure, or advise any such
voter, person or officer to do any ad hereby
made a crime or to omit to do any duty the
omission of which is hereby made a crime,
or attempt to do so, every such person shall
be deemed guilty of a crime and shall be for
such crime liable to prosecution in any
court of the United States of competent
jurisdiction, andon conviction thereof, shall
be punished by a fine not exceeding five
hundred dollars, or imprisonment for a term
not exceeding three years, or both in the dis
cretion of the court, and shall pay the costs
of prosecution.
Admirable Sentiments. —Gov. Vance,
of North Carolina, lately elected United
States Senator, is a success ; and his suc
cess is legitimate. It comes from his good
sense and right principle, added to a vast
amount of energy. These things make
men successes every day.
Senator ALance’s little speech of thanks
for his late election contains some wise and
good words, which we reproduce as worthy
of perusal ;
Afp‘r the war, terms upon conditions
were held out to the people of the South.
I would not accept terms that wonld separ
ate me from you and the brave boys who
went at your bidding. The longest road
has a turn. I did not wish to rise until I
could rise with you. Thank God, that time
has arrived. \Ye go up now. AYe may go
down again, but will go down together ; and
I will have good company —the best and
bravest hearts in the land —with me. Be
cause our party has been triumphant, there
are some vho urge retaliation. This should
not be so. The best antidote for tyranny,
the strongest weapon against it, is the en
actment of just and wholesome laws. For
that we have the government of North
Carolina in our hands, we should not aim
to avenge ourselves for the overriding of
civil liberty among us, but we should so
arrange that it cannot happen again—
should see to it that no Executive or other
authority can again attempt to destroy our
liberties. From the obtaining of Magna
Cbarta to the present day no attempt to
override or abridge it has made that
has not more firmly re-established liberty.
May it be so here. It is true that in the
last five years we have felt what it is to be
without trial by jury, to have arrests among
us without warrant, and the freedom of the
press abridged. All the people understand
it now. It behooves us now to build up
the great principles of civil liberty on the
eternal rock of our great country. Let
anger, revenge and retaliation be ignored,
and let the laws on your statute book bear
the impress of a free people determined
legitimately tc maintain their freedom.
Just wait till Grant pops his lash. Just
wait until, like Jack-o’*the-Mill, he bobs
his paste-board head out of his paste-board
window and makes a face at the rebellious
Radical spirits who are bawling so bravely
at long range. Just wait till he gathers the
Dents and the Cainerous and the Chandlers
about, him and girds his loins and comes
forth, like a roaring lion, in quest of prey.
AS on’t there be a stirring of dead leaves, an
awakening of snakes, a rattling of dry
bones? AYon’t there be a hopping and a
skipping of obstreperous newspapers?
AA'on’t there be a tucking of editorial tails?
These oe brave words now that come skepin’
out of thejaws of the valiant, rank an 1 fi ] e,
like militiamen o’ muster day. But, softly ;
rest you merry, honest gentlemen ; the
story is but just begun. The lion has not
so much as growled yet, nor switched his
mane i’ the air.
‘ When that time comes, i’fal.h, there'll be
Avery pretty sight to see.”
It has in the last two years cost the peo**
pie $200,000 to turn regularly elected
Dejnocrats oat of Congress.
Senator Vance.-Iq the prime of l,fe
and the full enjoyment of every faculty for
usefulness, Senator A’ance is probably des
tined to play as considerable a part in
national affairs as any man in the Southern
States. After serving in the State Legisla
ture he was elected to Congress in 1858,
where his practical mind and sound judge
ment, though one cf the youngest members
of the House, made much impression
In the unhappy excitement of 1860, he
was recognized as an opponent of secession,
and in that sense sympathized with the
sentiment of the Old North State which
resisted all extreme policy, until events
changed the current ot opinion. He was
elected Governor after the outbreak of the
war, and was distinguished for energy and
uprightness in the discharge of all the
duties connected with that high office.
Since the proclamation of peace, his efforts
have been consistently and earnestly devo
ted to the restoiation of harmony, and to
the work of reviving the prosperity of his
native State, which has been outrageously
plundered by a combination of adventurers
and a few native accomplices, even more
debased than their trading principals.
Senator A'ance may be regarded as rep
resenting the best type of the men of pro
gress, energy and purpose in the South,
who will mainly have the task of directing
her new career, and re-establishing her just
influeuco in the Union. However much he
may mourn much that is past and now ir
retrievable, he has the moral courage to
confront the situation as it exists, and the
ability to work out of it a redemption, the
very opposite of that which was designed by
the malignant and persecuting enemies of
the South, first by emancipation and then
by suffrage. They sought to crash out
every vital spark by a pretended philan
thropy whose inspiration was revenge, and
by conferring a privilege upon ignorance,
to degrade intelligence. But the reaction
has come, and these short-sighted plans of
selfish vindictiveness have returned to
plague the inventor. The day is near at
hand when the South will be more power
ful, more rich, more compact, more united
than it ever was w T ith slavery, and when,
under this new political dispensation, it
will perhaps return the poisoned chalice to
to lips of those who had treacherously com
mended the cup to its tnirsting palate.—

Loss in Rural Population. —The New
York journals are deploring the loss of
rural population in the Empire State. The
Tribune exhibits this loss by a table, pre
senting the comparative population of the
census of 1860 and 1870, in one-third of
the counties in that State, which shows
that there has been an actual loss in popu
lation, and affirms that “in another third
there has been no considerable increase.”
This journal affirms that as a whole, the
rural population of New York “has not
increased since 1860, and has increased but
little since 1830 the gain is confessed to
be confined to the larger cities and towns,
and this interpreted to mean : “More of
our people now work in shops and factories,
fewer on farms than formerly.” AYhy
should fewer work on farms than formerly,
when the increase of those who live in cities
and towns, who work in shops and factories,
creates larger markets and increased de
mands for farm products ? It is not because
of a national policy—a protective policy,
which wars against the labor of the farmer,
and fosters occupation is shops and facto
ries ? If labor upon the farm was equally
as profitable as labors in shops and factories,
would not farm population have increased
pari passeu ? those who work on the farm
and in the shops and factory increasing in
the same ratio? Is it not clear that the
shop and the factory is fostered at the ex
pense of the farm ? Is not this the whole
gist of the Proiective policy—tax the farm
er to enrich those who work in shops and
factories? And is it strange, under such a
policy, enforced by all the power of the
Government, that there should be an in
crease in the population as to those who
work in shops and factories, and a decrease
as to the producers who work on farms ?

Business Bes. re C njrbss.-- -Many im
portant bills, which failed last session, will
claim the early attention of Congress.
Bills for the encouragement of navigation
were introduced last winter, but there was
a deplorable absence of beneficial legisla
tion upon this important subject. There
will be a number of bills for the enlarge
ment of American commerce, among the
most important of which will be the Medi
terranean and Orieutal Steamship Naviga
tion Company. Bills will also be introduced
to encourage telegraphic communication
with foreign countries. Included in these
measures, will be proposals for a telegraph
cable between San Francisco and China and
Japan, and also between a port in the Uni
ted States and Belgium. Efforts will be
made to relieve members of Congress from
importunity, and to preserve the independ
ence of the different departments of the
government; to regulate the hours of labor
throughout the United States; to establish
a postal telegraph system in the United
States ; to make the importation of immi
grants under labor contracts unlawful ; to
reform the civil service of the United States ;
to establish a* Territorial Government in
Alaska; to admit as States in the Union the
Territories of Colorado and New Mexico ;
to make it a misdemeanor to sell munitions
of war to a foreign government to use
against another friendly government; to
aid the Kan-aa Pacific Railway, and also
one f<»r the construction of the Memphis
and El Paso and the Middle Pacific Rail
road; to punish polygamy; to reduce the
rate of postage, and to abolish the Franking
Privilege.
New Counties.— The last Legislature
created three new counties, to-wit: Mc-
Duffie, Rockdale, and Doughlass. McDuffie
was laid out from the counties of Warren
and Columbia, and attached to the Fifth
Congressional District, and to the Twenty
ninth Senatorial District.
R ckdale was laid out from the counties
of Newton and Heury, and attached to the
Twenty-seventh Senatorial District, to the
Flint Judicial Circuit, and to the Fourth
Congressional District.
Doughlass was laid out from the counties
of Campbell and Carroll, attached to the
1 hirty-sixth Senatorial District, to the
Third Congressional District, and to the
Tallapoosa Judical Circuit.— Intellijenccr. 1
Kill Radicalism. —To an outside observ
er well pneted in the recent political history
of Georgia, it would seem hardly neee sary
write ‘line upon line, precept upon precept/
to arouse the people of the State to an ap
preciation of the interests at stake on the
coming election. Hut the issues are of
such vast moment and the determination of
Bullock and his copartners in robbery to
reverse the decision ot the people, so mani
fest, that we could not if we would forbear
to exhort Georgians to nerve themselves for
the emergency.
Were we to draw a bill of indictment
against the present Governor (?) for h's
mismanagement of Sima affairs, and his
shameless misappropriation of the State's
finances, we should not have space to print
it.
The people know how they have been
governed ; the people know that their means
have been shamelessly used for individual
benefit ; that their credit has been villain
ously depreciated, and their treasury empti
ed. I)o they know who must foot the bills
as they fall due ? Do they appreciate the
efforts of the Radical party to maintain its
hold upon the State until its leaders shall
have obtained the last dollar within their
grasp? Or, appreciating these efforts, will
the great mass of the peoplo permit a mere
handful of plunderers scattered here and
there in each county, to press them down
and wring their all from them.
The Democracy carried the last election
in the State by a majority of nearly fifty
thousand. If every white tnan will do his
duty, that majority can be increased fifty
per cent at the coming electiou—shall it
not be done ?
The Radical party is now in its death
throes throughout the country. Its leaders
see it, and hence their resort to such stiuiu ,
lants as the military power and Election
Acts to prolong its existence until its lega
tees can appropriate the assets left of the
estate upon which it has administered.
It has been a destroying monster from
its conception, and let no honest man in
Georgia shrink from his duty to do his
utmost to destroy it at once and forever.
We are in receipt of the following circu
lar from the Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee. It speaks for itself.
He trust the advice contained in it will be
promptly and energetically followed by the
earnest and organizing members of the
party in Upson and all other counties :
• Maoon, Ga., Nov. 26, 1870.
Dear Sir : It is very desirable that there
should be more thorough organization on
the part of the Democrrtic party, in view of
the approaching election. Clubs should bo
formed and Executive Committee appoint
ed in each county ; and the efforts of clubs
and committees should he actively and con
stantly directed to bring about harmony
and the undivided and cordial support of tho
nominees of the party ; as well as to provide
agencies to prevent fraud in the conduct of
the election, or, at all events, to detect it if
perpetrated. The accomplishment of both
these objects is of great importance, and I
beg that you will take immediate steps to
have a club formed, and the necessary com
mittees appointed for your cmnty : and that
you will request the Chairman of the Exec
utive Committee, or the President of the
Club, when formed, to give me all the in
formation he can as to our prospects of
success in your county.
In behalf of the State Democratic Execu
tive Committee.
Clifford Andersov,
Chairman.
Mason’s and Dixon’s Link.— On the 4th
of August 1763, Thomas and Richard Penn
and Lord Baltimore being together in Lon
don, agreed with Charles Mason and Jere
miah Dixon, two mathematicians or survey -
ors, to mark, run out and fix the boundary
line between Maryland on the one hand,
and Delaware and Pennsylvania on the
other. Mason and Dixon landed in Phila
delphia on the 15th of November following,
and began their work at once. They
adopted the peninsular lines, and the radius
and tangent point of the circular, of their
predecessors. They next ascertained the
northeast coast of Maryland, and proceeded
to run the dividing parallel, a distance of
230 miles, 18 chains, and 21 links from the
place of beginning at the N. E. corner of
Maryland to the bottom of a valley on
Drunkard’s creek, where an Indian war
path crossed their route, and here on the
9th of November, 1767 -103 years ago—
their Indian escort told them it was the
wild of the Sioux Nation, that the surveys
should cease, and they terminated accord
ingly, leaving 36 miles, 6 chains and 50
links, as the exact distance remaining to he
run west to the southwest angle of Penn
sylvania, not far from the Board Tree Tun
nel on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Dixon died at Durham, England, 1777 ;
Mason died in Pennsylvania, 1787.
Tiie Dead Letter Office is one of the most
curiously interesting branches of the Gov
ernment, and the cause of it, or the neces
sity for such an institution, is a mystery.
It is impossible almost to conceive of tne
carelessness, stup : dity and ignorance by
which more than fourteen millions of letters
were entrusted to the Post Office in a single
year, for which no designation could be
found, in consequence of inaccuracies, im
perfections and fatal omissions in direction
upwards of 3000 having no address what
ever. And the mystery is the more remark
able when it is considered that these letters
contained money to the amount of at lea-t
SIOO,OOO, in small sums generally, and
checks, drafts, etc., to the amount of $3.-
000,000 more. This property was of cour>ie
returned, or most of it, upon information
obtained by opening and examining the
letters at the Deed Letter Office.
The New York, Post confesses, “that
Congress has, in the last dozen years,
grasped powers and exercised functions
which a nd) not belong to it, and which it
cannot permanently exerc : se with ut ne
cessarily changing our whole system of
government, is too true for denial/’ This
is a fair and frank admission of a charge
which is as deplorable as it is truthful.
The New York Herald of the Ist inst.
says that Gen. Beauregard left that city on
the day previous, on the steamship YiUe
de Paris, bound for France. It
that he goes to enter the French sortie'*,
but thinks that he goes too late.
