WHICH WE HAD A SMALL GAME Nothing can he more detestable than the ''email games" of politicians. Thu secret manipulation* of partlea, for the purpose of overriding honesty and consistency, should meet with tearless denunciation, Tunny that time confer* right and propriety upon such underbuilding*, i* to conlesa to a duplicity that no honest man can üb scrlbe to. The complaint ha* tiecu that the hotter claase* full to do their duty in primary gatherings, Hint the preparatory arrange menta for nomination* and election! arc left to the brazen aud easy consciences; and that, therefore, the will and desire of the great people are not aecured. The appeal is conntantly made to men of character and thought, of probity and honor, to come forward and take their proper places in the very bteginningtoftlie political contCHt. We confes* that wo have joined in this appeal, Hut our recent ex pericnce convince* u* that the nianipula tor* of election* are insincere in ttielt firo fcHHlona, and speak witli the lip* what they undo in tint practice. A* thing* go, fair, transparent, honest men, have no allowing at such nic&ingx, and retire from them !u suited and Injured. The methods of manipulation ore dls honorahlu and dishonoring beyond our power to describe. We charge no man with evil intentions. We honor no one with the intention to iu*ult a largo com inuulty of honest men. Mut we distinctly characterize the resolution offered by Mr. Must at last Thutsday's meeting a* a gross injustice to hundreds who have a right to lie heard and to alllliatc now and hence forth with the Democratic party of Gcor gia. We have yet to meet the Democrat who endorses it. We have yet to meet the citizen who is not outraged by it- And we call for the purpose of its oHer ingr What did it mean? Did it mean that Radicals should not take part in the proceedings of Hint meeting’' Then it was without muauing, for it is well known that tlio gentlemen present were all of one way of political thinking in regard of the present issues before the country. Did it ■nenri to cut otr from the right of fran chise in the selocllou of a candidate, those who, hitherto have taken no active part in such proceedings, since old lino Whig gory divided the population of Georgia!’ Then it was nil iusult to muny prominent citizens who wore there piescut, and. who did not vote in consequence of the mis erablo and undemocratic gag. Did it mean an insult to one of tiie candidates, who, beyond all doubt, was the foremost man in that mooting ? Then it deserve* the deepest execration! What did it mean f Wo demand an answer In behalf of out raged common sense. We menu too, to have our answer, gentlemen, before we proceed in this campaign. We nro not in the habit, we hope, of overrating our position or influence, but we aio in the habit of understanding what we are about. The duly we owe to the people and to the truth is paramount. It rank* ull party tneasurea and taken the precedence. We charge that in the passage of such a resolu tion, under the clmcuuistauces of the pres is a downright violation of SHHM|^^*cr yes the severest icproha 11 ! ■' THE LEAVER? HEATHENISM. it 1* impartially di rected, to prodigies The expanding mind, casting aside all iron 01. :es of dogmatic prohibition, and search ing for the truth everywhere will become hecturtomed to t|s presence in the most un locked for places. Only of late years lias it dawned on the advanced thought of the civilized world, that those nations and [reoples commonly assigned to the regions of unrelieved dark ness, po*aeased archives of the most sub tle, origins! and comprehensive philoso phies, and literatures equal, at least, in finesse, to that of which western nations make their boast. In the delicate tracery of thoughti the boldness, if not clearness, of diction ;-the voliiminousncas of production, we are not in'eonditlou to claim super-eminence. And every year, in all departments of philoso phy and literature, if not in the sciences and arts, the civilized mind in its patient studies backward, is finding itself marvel ously anticipated by hundreds if not thou sand* of year* It is an axiom of it lieuthenism to which we send missionaries that, ' w hile relig ion* are many, reason is one.” And a principle in hektlien philosophy, older than our records of systems, reads, "Action, either mental, verbal, or eorporeal, hear* good or evil fruit, at itself it good or evil.'’ We are not surprised, therefore, liialth. study of hcallien religious bus had a de fined tendency to compel an overhauling of our own, and a deep scrutiny of the phi losophy of cliurchiy institutions —In their antagonistic attitudes. The fact is, heath enism lias turned missionary to Christian nation* und countries, und is erecting its standards side by side with the proud piles of Christian pride and bigotry. Nothing is truer than, lliut the adequate teat of any given law is the universality of it. That is not binding which is not sov ereign, in matter* of conscience. The counter war, therefore, which Inis been inaugurated by heathen systems upon Western civilization und form* of belief, IniH naturally created alarm, and turned the eye of investigation inwardly. The at titude of Christian sects toward one anoth er, bus never been a pleasing picture, even to the most devout mind, while to “ the world ” it has been a standing evidence, either of insincerity of character, or want of truth. And the failures of missionary enter prises, within the strict domain of their ostensible object, are seriously laid at the doer of sectarian bigotry. Evidently there is a "loose screw” somewhere, or else the truth in wanting conviction in the chosen instrumentation of ils dltl’uslnn. The <>th er day, l)r. Tail, Archbishop of Canter bury, gave lhr note of alarm and warning’ at a meeting of the Propagation Society Iu ids hold address lie distinctly said that, “unless we take some steps, iustead of our converting the heathen, the heathen will bo converting us." ills Glare was not without powerful auxiliary arguments, and created no little surprise to the most religious propagand ists. The presence of the “Heathen Chinee," the liuddhist Mystifyers, the Arab Moonshees, and the Vedantin Philos ophers, hawking their intellectual nnd re ligious wares in the public streets of a Christian metropolis, and finding listeners, buyers and prosylites, struck fear nnd alarm upon the good Archbishop's soul, and, like an honest shepherd, lie faithfully warned his tloek i The heathen religionists and philoso phers designated, have not only actually beguu their crusadu, but are daily proving that tlio “most civilized nation on earth’' is lacking in natural candor aud Christian charity. The chicanery and questionable honesty of a “nation of shopkeepers" is severely rebuked, nnd that publicly, by heathen missionaries from the lud and tho Oriout. In nnnwer to ills Graces dark pic ture of the possible triumph of hoathenism over the Christian creed of Kngland, Mr "Aiivleslicer U. Kapndia" a heathen of tho heathens retorts, in the name of a religion that teaches "tho unity of God and good morals." “ These heathens,'! he continues, “ have toleration for their fundamental creed," aud that •no religion can be considered enlightened which is not tolerant. course Mr. Kapadia speaks iu orlen- i!

Mut one sect can excommunicate and damn another seet with Neroic coolness, and witli infinit'ly less appreciation than the good (iisl enn nurse the fading life of a flower. And yet true religion is affiliation with God. We cannot make it out. Read er. can you f A JUBt"VeCISION. Judge Cole lias given his derision ad versely to the Southwestern Railroad aud the American Telegraph Company. The history of this suit reveals an interesting struggle of a monopoly against enterprise, in violation of all laws and the dictates of genuine progress. The Southern and Atluntic Telegraph Company believed it hod authority to erect itsline along the monopolized road, under act of Congress of July, 16GG, aud under act of Georgia legislature during last ses sion The Western Union Telegraph Company, with the Southwestern Railroad Company thought differently, and filed an injunction to prevent, etc., etc. Ilia Honor, Judge Cole, decided in favor of the South ern and Atlantic Telegraph Company, in which decision all anil monopolies will heartily concur. The Southern and At lantic Company is proceeding with its good work. Small Kavoks are thankfully received at this office. We bog, therefore, to ex press in the opencst manner our mite of gratitude to the Grant Executive Commit tee, doing business somewhere about Gotham or Long Mruncli, for a copy of certain “ Elegant Extracts " from the files of Hie New York Tribune. These ex tract* propose to establish beyond a rea sonable doubt, that Mr Horace Greeley has never been in honest affiliation with the Democratic party, but rather the con trary—most decidedly! The wonder is excited whether the Executive Committee Could he guilty of supposing that the Democratic party was in blissful ignorance of the fact which they so elaborately un dertake to prove ! Wc suggest to them a belter campaign document. Let them show that Mr. Greeley is a Mormon, or the chief organizer of the Ku-Klux, or a drunkard, or a forger, or the Nathan mur derer, or even a distant cousin of U. S. G. or even a knownothing ! This would gol Wliut a sensation it would produce! Try It boss, do! H. If. Hill. —The speech of General Men. H. Hill, of Georgia, at the Court house Inst night, was one of the ablest,clear est, and best of the campaign. He pre sented the real issues involved in the can- Vubs, and divided them from the sham questions thrown in by demagogues und small politicians witli wonderful accura cy and perspicuity. lie took the true ground, which w e liave all the time occu pied, that the issues settled by the war were secession and the negro question. These being accepted as finally disposed of, he pointed out with great clearness the method by which Hie remnants of constitu tional liberty may be preserved.

The book was secured by cx-Comptroller Conuolly, who, when he left the country, turned it over to a certain person who has it secure ly guarded. It will probably be produced in the trial of Tweed, Connolly and others of the ring; aud it is said it will secure the conviction of every one of the iudicted parties. The letter found in pciccs before Billy Forrester’s cell was writteu by detective Lagan, who worked up the Nathan mur der case, to another detective iu this city, who carelessly threw it away.
