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.— Washington, Patriot. 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 ? Chronicle and Sentinel. 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.

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.

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. NO. 2.
