f fi? gfotmtal Wednesday November 6, 1872, l’»r|J.S. Sou^tor. We are glad to seatb.it oar era|R;iy( s are almost a ur.it in anpgwding the natri - if f»ri. Johjxß. Gfll don for the next mcml.tr of the United States Senate. We believe tbit it is the wish of the people that General Gordon should have that honorable and responsible position. Georgia owes a debt yfgnitituje to this ilitiqgtusbed son, and no ons would tatire faith fitly watch ami defend the interests of the tStqtc in the Senate lialU. of the Nation. His n oord is clear: he has proven him self to be an honest man, a pure patriot, and a Christian gentleman. Moreover, Gen. Gordon possesses in an eminent degree the peculiar talents to fit him for a legislator. Wo earnestly hope that the Legislature will concur in thin Irish of the people and make iho General onr nett Henator. Ptiuling;, .But a week or two ago a duel was fought in Atlanta, and scarcely had the smoke cleared away from the muzzles of tip murderous weapons when wo are informed through the public gazettes that two citizens of Athens had agreed to murder each other snowmen artem. Nor docs it wop hero, for two youths, students at tho State University, becoming in feci si with the mania for dueling, for some petty misunderstanding, perhaps, leave sahool to settle their dispute about bread and milk at the mouth of the pistol. Poor, little fel lows ! These dne.ls and rumors of duels show that this spirit is on the increase, and should be frowned down by both the public and the Press. It is a relic of the days of barbarism, and is unworthy the Maze of enlightenment of the high noon'of the nineteenth century. If nothing felso will do to put down this horrible practice, it' is tho duty of the Legislature to make the laws too severe to allow its indulgence. When the code falsely ealle.d the “oodeof honor” tornado a felony, and no subter fuge is permitted to evade tin; penalties of the law —whan the code is. made, legally ami popularly, a coda of dishonor -the public may bo sjiarod the recital of the sickening details of such rencounters. The Pllcotiou. The grpat day of ilia Pritsidcntial Bleetion has como soul passed. Wimt is tin; isstip wo know notj yet, aware that onr destiny js bound up in this decision of tho nation, wp tremldo to hear the flnabresitlt. Tfas roas;m prevailed, and may we again bask in the sunlight of peace; or have corrupt ion nnd ambition • again swayed the action of this groat people, and brought mitt in their train ? Every intelligent man knows that a crisis has been tact-—that the very existence of the nation hhs boon the issue tried. If Horace Greeley ig tho President elect, wo hope for reform in many things, that, a more lilie ral policy will bu inaugurated, and more equal jus tice meted to tho whole country without regard to sections. But if, as wo fear, Gen. Grant—by whatever means it has been off noted -lias boon givou another four years lease of power, we look upon all as lost, and believe that a bloody revolution will end all civil liberty before his next term of ofllco expires. But is Grant really responsible or wholly to blame for ail this f We think not, but that the pooplo themselves must take the blame for permit ting their rights thus to tie subverted. Hud tho corruption of the present day developed itself in the primitive and purer ages of the republic, the people would have arisen as one man, nnd in their might muled the tyrant from his high place, and made his name a aeoff and a byword. No people can bo enslaved by their own rulers so long as they are socially virtuous ; and if onr liberties aw now ruthlessly torn from ns, and our rights trampled in tho dust, we must charge the blame as much to social oh to political corruption. Glancing backward over the eourso we have pur sued during the past canvass, wo find nothing for which to censure ’ourselves, or that, under the same circumstance , we would change, Our opinion can’now do nohmhn. At the beginning we saw that a diviaon of the lladleal party was inevitable ; and wo eagerly hoped that the Democratic; loaders would take advantage of it. W« believed then, and still believe, tiiat a Democrat might have been elected if the Democratic party had lrnve given their nndiylded support to a Candidate from thoir own ranks. But disgusted puerile and tin. l>#eilo oorqluct of Ambvw Johns, ip. cud disheart ened by the overwhelming defeat of Seymour, our loaders despaired of electing a yhnio W. and com mitted what V' believe Was’4 stitfi’ijn'fou < blunder, by adopting the -nominee of the Ginmiiatj <\>nvei»- llon. This pnsbioi l a break'in tiro Democratic ranks that has ttkfly lost ktrcalgUP to the party without aoocHitplishiui} the object intended The Journal surrendered to tho decision of the Baltimore Convention,only when it was cleavly and fully demonstrated that there was not the shadow of a chance to eloot n Democrat- We advocated the election of Greeley only when wo were compell ed to choose between him and Grant—and then wholly andsolely Upon the ground of his being the less evil. Wo have done what wo deemed under the exigen cy to be our duly honestly, fearlessly and with what ability we possessed, and whatever be tho re sult, our conscience is dear. Mrs. Gub lev Death.-*—NKw York, Oct. 31.—Mrs. Horace Greeley died this morning at the residence of Mr. Alvin Johnson. Haring the evening yesterday her symptoms were of so favorable a character as to inspire some faint hopes of her recovery. Snclv ex pectations, however, proved unfounded, as she had two chills during the night after which she was Very easy until she ceased to breathe, at 4 a. hi.', passing away peacefully without ariy percepti ble struggle. The funeral will take place at I>r. Capin’s church at twelve o'clock Friday. David Ross a Macon boy, who went to New York soon after the war, has in vented a match which promises to su percede all others in use, and he has al ready refused SSOjJOO for his invention. Davy had best close on that $30,000, or some cute Yankee will outmatch him. Kndiml .Inwtiee. Wilmington, October 31. —Last Sat urday the grand jury for the Superior Court of this county, now in session, threw out a bill of indictment for libel against, the Journal, a Democratic pa per of this city. Monday the Solicitor, a Republican, informed the Judge, also a Republican, that he wished to send a new bill, and asked him to send for the jury, and to instruct them specially iri relation to the law of libel. lie also informed the Judge that- The parties against whom he wished to proceed were the editors of the Wilmington Journal. The jury was brought in‘o Court, and the Judge charged that the matter sat forth in tilt.- indictment then exhibited in Court constituted libel, and that if a true bill was not found, the jurors would commit perjury. The alleged libelous matter is as fol lows : “The difference, according to Radical ideas of right and wrong and of justice is, it is all right to turn North ern convicts out of the penitentiary, al though they are grown men and notori ous thieves, found guilty by njuryaf ter a fair trial ; but it is all wrong to turn out young Southern boys, of ten der age, who, by promise of mild treat ment, were induced to peald guilty be fore a scoundrel like Judge Bond. With any trial atall.it is all right, in' Radical eyes, to pardon the Pennsylva nia thief; but it would be all wrong to pardon the North Carolina Ku-K.lbx, so-called. The grown man Yerkes goes free ; the hoy Ramsur is in a felon’s cell. Can North Carolinians re concile it to their manhood, or to their consciences, to vote for Grant ? Il Grant is beaten, Radicalism will die. If Grant is re-elected, Radicalism will livo.” Yesterday afternoon the jury again came into Court, and where lectured by the Judge in a manner considered highly insulting for having taken no ac tion on the bill. Up to the present time the jury have not found the bill. The affair has created considerable ex citement in the city, and much indigna tion is expressed at wlmt is regarded by many as nn effort to stiffs the freedom of the press. New Gold and Silver Mining. —Mr. Henry Reilly, of Lancashire, England, arrived in this city by the steamship Virgo on Saturday. Yesterday he pro ceeded to the northwestern part of the State, where ho has purchased one thousand acres of land, which arc said to be rich in gold and silver veins. One place, in a side hill where some borings have been made, indicates ore beds from two to eight feet in thickness, ex tending in spurs (as is supposed) under an extensive tract of land. If further experiments nnd tests ol tho ore, and the cost of mining, shall be satisfactory, a number of English capitalists will make a sufficient investment to prose cute mining on a large sca'e. —Savannah Advertiser. The Savannah News says: In the twilight of a beautiful day in the ides of October an Appling county man set his son and heir to watch a favorite corn patch. Returning n little Inter to see if the infant was at his post, the jocund father happened to create a lit tle commotion among the dry stalks. There was a flash and a report, and the astonished parent tore down two panels nf fence in getting away, i’o his neigh bors, who call to see him in his bed ridden condition, lie extols the vigilance of his son and his accuracy with a shot gun. Arrests in Macon.. —Some thirty five or forty arrests have been made in Macon of some of the most prominent citizens, charged with violation of the Enforcement Act. Tho warrant was issued at the instance of a notorious ne gro scoundrel, and their trials are now in progress at Macon. These arrests in different parts of the State, are but tho forerunners of tho Ku-Klu.x mill that will shortly be turned looseon Geor gia, and no doubt is intended to influ ence tho Presidential election. —iVems i) Georgian.
