THE EXPOSITOR WAYNESBORO’, Or A. T , ~'T* r ~* 1 - - 1 * SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 1872. FOR PRESIDENT, HORACE OK EELEY, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, B. G-R ATZ BROWN, OH MISSOURI. FIRST DISTRICT —FOR COMiHKSfi .’ 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! yah / 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. w * ~ - 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.
