MORGAN It AWLS,
OF EFEINOItAM COL'NTV.
OUR SUPERIOR COURT.
The adjourned Term of our Superior
Court which was to have been held on
the first Monday in this mouth, has
been postponed, at the instance of a ma
jority of the local bar, on account of the
election, to the second Monday. Jurors,
witnesses, and parties, will, therefore, •
regulate themselves accordingly.
VOTE FOR GREELEY.
Let all men who fed disposed to help
Grant by voting for O'Conor remember
Grant’s official message to Congress,
that neither life nor property are safe
in the South. Such an utterence com
ing from such a source is a practical
blow at Southern prosperity. It keeps
away capital and immigration. Let
the South vote against her calumniator
and for the man who was first to preach
amnesty; who holds out the olive branch
—who went on Davis’ bond, and who
said that the achievement of Stonewall
Jackson and Leo should be gloried in
by all men.
The Cq|ijfnbus Sun adds the name of
General Benuing to the list of candid
ates for United States Senator.
General Beuning is in the full vigor of
physical and intellectual manhood. Few
men equal, if any surpass him, in cool
aud unerring judgment. lie has serv
ed and illustrated Georgia with fidelity
and ability, qualities which made him a
man of mark early in his cureer. In
capacity, experience, character and
courage lie has no supeiior in Georgia,
and around no man in the State do the
admiration aud affection of the people
at large more closely cling. Georgia
owes him not only a debt of gratitude
but one of just reparation, and her lle
presentatives might bestow upou him
an honor he will not strive for with the
appliances of the politician or the tricks
of a demagogue, aud still do no dispara
gement to any one of the houorable
gentlemen mentioned in connection
with the position.— Sac. Advertiser,
Amen. “ Old Rock” is about as good
as any you'll find anywhere —iu war or
peace.
Death of Mrs. Greeley.— Mrs.
Horace Greeley died this morning, Oct. j
30, in New York, at the residence of
Mr. Alvin Johnson. During the eve
ning of yesterday her symptoms were of
such a favorable character as to inspire
some faint hopes of Ler recovery. Such
expectations, however, proved unfound
ed, as she had two chills during the
night, after which she was very easy
until she cased to breathe at four, a. tn.,
passing away peacefully, without any
perceptible struggle. The funeral will
take place at Dr. Ohapiu’s Chtirch, at
twelve o’clock Friday.
♦ -
Truth About Horace Greeley.—
Mr. Greeley's personal participation in
the campaign has been to his signal
credit. During two hundred speeches,
short and long, and for the most part
sudden aud impromptu, he uttered no
unwise word. On the other hand, these
railway and balcony utterances demon
strated to the American people their
author’s uncommon nobility of mind
and heart. Mr. Greeley, by his brief
candidacy, has made a greater intellec
tual and moral impression than Gen.
Grant by his whole Presidency. This
exhiSition of magnificent common sense
in the candidate shows what a rare and
admirable behavior we would get from
him in the Presidential chair. “What
ever happens in November,” said Mr.
Greeley to a few friends the other dny,
“I hope it will be said of me that 1 have
acted my part and done my duty well.”
We believe that this tribute will be
universal and spontaneous throughout
the ranks of the Liberal Republican
and Democratic parties. From the
beginning of the eanvaEs untill now, nigh
its close, Mr. Greeley has grown steadi
ly in the respcet of his opponents and
the esteem of his friends. —Golden Aye.
ELECTION SUPERVISORS.
The Grantitcs put such construction
on the law as-may best seyve their pur
poses. The original law passed Feb
ruary 28th, 1871, clothed supervisors
with.large and offensive'powers; but it
was amended at the last session so that
it really amounts to little or nothing.
The tenth section of the amended law
reads as follows :
And, provided further. That the su
pervisors herein provided for shall have
no power or authority to make arrests
or to perform other duties than to be in
the immediate presence of the officers
holding the election and to witness all
their proceedings, including the count
ing of the votes and the making of the
returns thereof; and so much of said
sum herein appropriated as may be ne
cessary for said supplemental and
amendatory provision is hereby appro- |
printed from and after the passage of
this act.
The proceedings in Congress when
the amended bill was passed will throw
additional light on the subject. On
the 10th of June, 1872, after the form
of the bill had been agreed ou in the
conference committee which adjusted
the differences between the House and
Senate, the effect of the bill was ex
plained in the Senate by Mr. Edmunds
the Republican head of the Senate part
of the conference committee, and by Mr.
Garfield, the Republican head of the
Committee on the part of the House;
and both stated, most unequivocally,
that the new law takes away from the
supervisors all authority to challenge
voters in their official capacity. They
have no other or greater power to chal
lenge than any other voter of the dis
trict. We quote from the proceedings
beginning with the Senate:
Mr Mortou—l asked the Senator
from Vermont (Mr Edmunds) if I un
derstood correctly that this simply
makes the supervisors silent spectators,
without even the power to challenge a
vote ?
Mr Edmunds.—No, sir. They have
no power to challenge a vote except
that which belongs to a citizen uuder
the existing laws.
We proceed to quote from the pro
ceedings in the House of the same day:
Mr. Garfield, of Ohio—My colleague
will sec the answer to his question if he
will read the report.
Mr. Lamson—l have not been able
to do so.
Mr Garfield, of Ohio—lf he will
refer to the second page, near the bot
tom, lie will observe that the persons
appointed must be voters in the place
where they are to act; they are to be
supervisors or witnesses of the election
taking place among their own neigh
bors; they are not to be strangers im
ported from other parts of the State.
I will state that in regard to challenges
referred to by my colleague (Mr. Sliella
barger), there seems to be tome misap
prehension. These supervisors are citi
zens and voters of each precinct where
they act as witnesses, and in their char
acter of citizens and voters of course
they will have the same right of chal
lenge as any other citizens, as their act
ing in the capacity of supervisors will
not cut off their right as voters to make
challenges.
The above appears to be plain
enough and shows what construction was
put upon the amended law by the Grant
leaders.
A Kentucky negro who was taken
to Indiana to vote Giantism through in
that Stat s, in a burst of confidence and
whiskey thus related his experience of
the triumph : “Dem folks up to India'
oppylis treated us niggers mighty well :
rode us round in carriages, an' next day
we woled. Deni fellahs at de polls wuz
ajl our frens. I woted iu one place all
right, den went to anudder place and
woted, an’ den woted again, .and den I
done went to anuder place and woted.
At dat last place I seed two Dem’crats
wotiu’ at de fus place wliar I woted, an'
I felt so ’dignant dat I 'sposed dem right
dar, and do ’pleese just tuk ’em and put
’em squar in jail. I’se never been so
’dignant in my life as I feeled when I
seed dem Dem’crats a wotin-agin— yah!

Gen. James Longstreet, being disap
pointed in receiving a nomination from
the Democratic-Liberal Convention, in
New Orleans, has again departed into
the wilderness and joined the Radical
purtv. He says lie is a Republican at
heart, and feels lost and uneasy in any
other political association. It is the
fate of some men to outlive their honor
able fame.
! Gordon for Senator. —The Savan
nah Morning Metes urges the name of
General J. R. Gordon as United States
, Senator, as its first choice. 'Wo know
of no one we prefer to General Gordon,
though Georgia has many talented sons
who would reflect great credit upon her
in tho councils of the nation. We rest
assured that our next Senator will be a
man of the right stamp. — Lumpkin Inde
pendent.
Koval, Chances.—The Herald of
Tuesday exhorts the Democrats and
Liberals to poll their last vote in the
Presidential electron. The chance for
Greeley is by no means desperate, but
in event of the election of Grant a heavy
opposition vote and strong opposition
delegation in Congress is essential to
the public welfare. The Herald warns
Grant of the widespread dissatisfaction,
and demands from important re
forms.
Woman and the Election Law. —ln
the scheme of inquisition and arrests
entered upon by United States Commis
sioner Davenport, in New York, under
the election law, it is stated that the ar
rest of women bad been threatened, be
cause of their refusal to answer imperti
nent questions in their homes relative
to husbands and other male members
of their families. lie shrunk back,
however, from the project, when it came
to the point. It is alleged, however,
that Devcnport is going to send all elec
tion cases before the United States
grand jury, instead of giving them a
speedy trial himself.

Triumph of the Democracy in the
Old Fourth District. — From present
indications, the majority of Colonel
Beck in the old Fourth Distaict, will
hardly be less tliau that of Governor
Smith. It will be about 3,000, aud
embrace every county iu the District.
Ho carries every one of them. Col.
Beck, we doubt not. will make an able
representative. He strikes us as a man
of much force of character and sterling
worth. We never saw Abraham Lin
coln, but judging from the pictures of
the ex'presidenf, we should say Col.
Beck is enough like him in personal ap
pearence to pass for his biother. In
tellectually, he is capacious, clear, active
and strong. If his term in Congress
were long enough he would achieve au
influential position in the House.— lel
ey: ph Messenger.
A Washington di.-patch says, The
morning papers, in detailing the circum
stances attending the sad death of a
woman named Auuie Dean in this city,
relate circumstances to show that there
is uo truth iu the statement she made
to the womau iu whose wretched hovel
she died. As to her being discarded
because she married her father’s coach
man, and having the name “Dean” she
sought notoriety in borrowed capital,
though with a different given name, to
the detriment of a respectable family
now living in good circumstances.
The horse malady iu the North is
beginning to attack kiue. Fifty cows
have died of it in Orange, New Jersey.
The Manchester (N. H.) Union says:
“If Grant is re-elected, tiis success will
be the best evidence in the world that
the grand experiment of free government
in this country has failed, and that no
people are capable of governing them-'
selves for any defiuite period of time.
