W believe thi* is the closest voto fn a presidential election ever cast in that state. Tfhe closest vote ever cast hcretoferc in that atate was in 1844 when Polk carried it against Clay by five theusaud. i- ij- yrrn u ■ Ex-paymaster Wasson, the ctnbez *ivr*Wi aJiH’i‘.pwm # tl,t! aoiicilailen ol Gei).

A Tklioram from Richmond say that tame of tlx Republican election official* In Virginia havo refused to sign their name, lo returns which jive Democratic majorities. There la no doubt that It waa arranged be forejupd br tha Blainc-MaUono man ager! to rnako a desperate effort to •tea! the electoral vole of that State tn oaae the vote should lie close. The moat puerile point* were rained by tiie Republican official. At tile State Returning Board is composed of three Democratic ami two Republican of ficial*, it is not likely that any more technical quibble will prevent the prompt and honest couutmg of the vote of Virginia. Thkkk mon stepped into the electric light wo ks of the city ef Syracuse the other ovaning. One of them was observed to casualty stoop over ami reach out his hands towards a thirty eight dynamo machine. Instantly ho wits drawn close to the generator, ■without noise and tv thout tillering a sound, lie had unwillingly ifasp;d the positive aml negative rods and Wnsdoad. A moment before ho bad becu boasting of his electrical knowl edge. When It was attempted to re move the buly, pieces of skin ad hered to the rods.

LTHHf or no responsibility rests njpon a legis lator In the election of a Judge or so llciter-general, especially outside of tLia circuit in which hi* comity ■ huy*- pens to he, and the idea of power without rcspousiblily ia antagonistic te all good government. The tra ding and bartering that ba* been car ried on openly in the present session ef the Georgia legislature in regard le filling office* great and small, is enough to disgust the people of the state with their legislature body. The old system of appointment by the governor and confirmation by the senate Is tho only way by which we may return to purer methods in se lecting judicial officers. A governor would rarely ever be so lost to thp public weal as to refuse to recognize bis responsibility to the people. A governor is responsible to the whole people, but to whom is a legislator responsible except to the little hand ful ef Ids own constituency. Elec tions of judges by the legislature is had enojgh, but may the good Lord deliver ue from popular elections. Georgia will never hare Judges who will he known of all meu as men of ability ad Integrity until she returns to the old way of electing them ; and such meu will rarely accept the offleo until the state turns from its parsi* ntonv and pays salaries In keeping with the dignity the office should earry with it. Daabnrg’o Wajolotn* To-nlghl Danburg is having the biggest demonstration that has os ft hose soon . hro About sundown Hie crowd began to gather and by dark the streets were a living watt, all bent on having a big time. Many and vigorous were the shouts that went np ter Cleveland and Ken dricks and the old Democracy. Fully 250 men are in Hue, and with fife and drum and torches are taking the plac e by storm. After parading all the streets the crowd halted in front of Mr. J. L. Anderson’s residence and called tor him. Mr. Anderuon re sponded In a duo and well-worded speech and ended by throwing open hie dining room doors and Inviting the crowd to slipper. The table wni loaded down with good things and the crowd partook of as dne a repast as was ever spread In this count*’. Danburg has ever been noted tor her hospitality, and last night Mr. An derson more than sustained hts well earned reputation. Mr. Anderson I* one of those big sotiled patriotic citi zens of whom Danburg may well lie proud. After supper several youttg men were called upon for addresses and acquitted themselves very well indeed for inexperienced s|iafccr*. Mr. <T. A. Muss returned the thanks of the crowd to Mr. J. L. Anderson for hie bounteous hospitality, after which all disbanded, every one ex pressing themselves as having had fa huge time. The night will not soon be forgot ten by the good people of Daubing. Long may our President live, and may Danburg havo many More such causes for rejoiciug. SratTATott. Danburg. Nov 12,84.
