Kvkut patriot should give one day, at
least, to his country, in twelve luonths.
To morrow you may secure one vote for
law, order, peace, fraternity, and econom
ical government. It is worth your effort.
Jr you know of u weak brother, living
some distance from the polls, make it your
business, early in the day, to accompany
him to tiro voting place, and secure his
vote. Every votadclls. We cannot af
ford to lose one—
. .
Col. Haiidkman delivered a stirring
speech lost night. The hall was crowded,
and the enthusiasm was real ami merited.
What a miserable hole to speak in t It
is enough to freeze the soul of nn orator
to lie csmpellod to speak In such a place
Theodore Tilton ia worried because
nearly nil tlio orthodox clergy go for
Grant Now, our tibcrnl friend need not
vex his heterodox soul about that. Or
thodoxy lias backslidden, that's all, and
heterodoxy has lrccome sound orthodoxy
in political matters. Theodore ia ortho
dox for once.

Contrary to general Impression and pre
vious history on the same lino, Mr Greeley
M-cnis to have greatly aided the liberal
i utixe in Ills extended tour. His speeches
are model*. Every word Is clear cut, ap
propriate aud sensible. There is no cx
cllod appeal to public prejudice, hut plain
talk to plain people. For onco a candi
date for the Presidency, can bo trusted to
speak Tor himself during a heated cam
paign. Everywhere enthusiasm is on llie
Increaao.
You need not fear to go to the polls to
morrow for llie purpose of voting There
will lie no intimlilution tolerated, mid no
muu who lias a right to vote will be lulerler
ed with. Walk right up,calmly,ami quietly
aud vote, theu retire, that others may do
o also. Disturbances at polls begin by
jostling, pulling, clamoring, uud arguing.
Tills should uud w ill not lie tolerated A
man makes up ills mind how to vote bo
fore lie nutria. When any person begin*
to Joatle aud flare about, he is a disturber
and should he arrested.
Wk are confident of our ability to carry
the day tomorrow in a fair election, if
every Democrat and Liberal will do Iris
July—tliero can be no question about the
mat ter.
Duty! What la that. Ist vote your
self. 2nd (jet a* many other* to vote witii
you a* possible lie sure you vote the
right ticket
Tiro Walker ticket means untold calam
ity, trouble, and tire roasserllon of radical
rule In Georgia.
The Smith ticket means peace, equal
right*, economy, prosperity —and a contin
uance ol those blessings which for a year
have been falling upon us.

Tint Gothamite* intend to give Mr.
Greeley a rousing reception on bis return
from the canvass ol the middle and Wee
tern States. This is well. Mr. Greeley
lias contributed Immensely to the growth
and enthusiasm of the Liberal cause.
Croaker* croak, and false prophet* utter
their wonderful prognostic*! ions .etc.etc.,
et. at., but Mr. Greeley, has proved him
•elf more than equal to the great demand.
He prove* himself a w ise, sagacious, and
recollected statesman, who. cau open his
mouth without put ling bis foot in it. Let
him receive a glorious welcome back to the
metropolis.

The Episcopal Church Convention is
an occasion of moment iu N'cw \ ork.
Many of the meet influential and wealthy
not to say fashionable families of Gotham
serve God after uo maimer laid down in
the prayer-books and rubrics of the Epis
copal Church.
In the Episcopal address, by Bishop
Hotter, before the recent Convention,
smong other matters, bis lordship brought
forward the subject of a Cathedral. He
wanted a Cathedral, that is, if be could
have * real one w ith *ll the uuity, power,
pomp, amaze, authority and antiquity
which so wonderful a Christian institution
Is supposed to establish or represent His
lordship was both tender and stern on this
great subject, and poured forth his apo
thelic spirit iu a niauner calculated to
both win and repel, as is his method J
However, a committee was appointed on
Cathedral—with large powers (both Com
mittee and Cathedral) iu the premise*.
And so we are getting ready for the future
reception and entertainment of the Holy
Father himself when the veil between us
and home is severed.

J. C. Swayzc, the editor of the Had leal
Luton, came out yesterday evening with
an *• extra," in which be says very bitter,
and vve must believe, unjust things of Col
Qmoii. This sort of political wat fare is !
dishonoring to the man who practices it.
and compels us to think ill of those for
whom we might he disp'med to have re- I
spect.
Now, we do not despise an honest Repub
lican any more tbau wo believe in a fulso
Democrat. A man can, in tbla country,
think as lie pleases, and air his thoughts,
too, if lie do so in the language of u gentle
man, Rut liberty’ is traduced ami lowered
and grossly abused when one is found to
use it for slanderous purposes I Then it be
comes the handmaid of villainy, and ia no
longer the good and holy llilog we should
esteem it.
We are opposed to incendiary journal
ism whether it he Republican or Demo
cratic. No man serves liis country by
such writing. He represents nobody—
only ids own unworthy heart, lie assists
no good cause ; defends no injured prin
ciple ; farthers no noble mission, and rep
resents no worthy thought, measure, or
standard. 11c spits out his evil venom
and (ire ! He is a human serpent hissing
at lire innocent or the maligned! In the
form of a man, yet Is he Ishmacllte,
whose hand is aguinst every man’s, and
who has no country. We have not all
this to say of Mr Swayzu. We know him
not! From his own “extra" we glean
that he lius udlaughter, and that he has
known domestic trial and sorrow.
A man who has a daughter also has a
heart, and there is a way to it I One who
lias teen trouble lias a claim upon our
thought and siluncc. Wo confess that
claim in this case, and because of it, re
mind Mr. Hwuyzo that to write a sheet
full of bitterness, hate, malignity, and per
sonal abuse, is a tiling that ran he forgiven,
hut never mndc white !
We are ashamed for journalism I
We arc knowing to a hotter way, and
uro striving to set the example. We do
not exonerate our cotemporary the Tele
graph aud Messenger. We have called
that journal to order, for certain unneces
sary, wild, incendiary sayings , and we
are plciuu i to note a decided improve
ment. Let us have a decent exchange of
thought. Let the mouth or pen that vitu
perates, lie known as foul, aud let public
conscience demund truth, honor, fair-deal
ing. ami intelligence in those who assume
to guhls public thought, opinion, and
morals

The tax collector is the busiest man in
ton n. and will continue to be so until ills
office closes this evening. There seems to
boa mistake about the tax business. Any
man who has paid liis properly tax for
1872, is entitled to vote, therefore. Those
cannot vote who have {Y, no tar. The
poll tax, we understand, is always added
in the ordinary tax and is paid in n lump.
This understanding will relieve many—
aud probably, none more than the hard
pressed collector, if you have paid no
tar, the payment of poll tax alone will
entitle you to vote
gov. i u rn
Has taken a buhl stand in favor of the Lib
eral movement and its candidates. In a
thrilling speech, delivered at Hollefonte,
l’a . he administered a most scathing re
buke to the present Aduiistratiou, and se
verely handled tho Cameron gang of his
native State. Forney, of the Philadelphia
Press, says that Curtiu's advocacy of Buck
alcw and the Liberal platform, will secure
the State by 25,tW majority.
We know Andy well, aud can readily
believe that his influence in the Keystone
Stale will turn it iu the way of bis owu
heart.

In the Catholic Mirror of the current
week, Dr. Aikeu, whose testimony in the
first trial ied to the conviction of Dr.
Schreppc for the poisoning of Miss Stin
necke, of Baltimore, by prussic acid, vin
dicates liis position and answers the numer
ous critics, medical and literary, who have
been thrusting lances at him. His paper
is scholarly, caustic, and presents the
whole subject in a deeply interesting light.
Dr. Aiken is evidently a man of science,
and if bis narrative be accepted his critics
will have to attack him on new issues
We clip a paragraph from his able letter
that our readers may eujoy llie Doctor's
method of parrying
If for the part I was required to take in
this matter I have really been as near utter
destruction as the editor of a misnamed
religious paper in New York assures his
readers was the case, I have reason to
be thankful for my escape. If that wise
Doctor who could have annihilated me
before he left the country, hut thought he
would'ut, had not changed his mind I
never could have had this opportunity to
suggest to the aforesaid editor that lie who
propagates a falsehood is equally culpable
with him who origiuates it, aud that even
a mind overflowing witii legal lore may
he bencfltted by a careful study of the
Decalogue. A little learning is never so
dangerous as when the unhappy possessor
is emboldened to decide ex cathedra on
questions with which he is so little ac
quainted tiiat lie is ignorant even of his
own ignorance.
His respects to Drs. Reese and Genth
are no less direct and satisfactory, and
will change the attitude somewhat of
those distinguished gcntlemeu.
Much was said during the late trial of
Dr. Aiken’s mistake (or worse.) hut, if we
are a judge, he lias completely turned the
tables on his critics, and stands to-day the
ablest scientist of the three. On tlio vexed
question he says:
Among the opinions antagonistic to my
conclusions in the Schasppe case were
those advanced by Prof, lteese and Dr.
Gcuth, who also held opinions opposed
to iny conclusions in the Wharton case.
Aud if a demonstrable error in the one
may he cited as showing a probable error
in the other the opinions of those gentle
men may he fairly considered somewhat
unreliable. In the Wharton trial the
lawyers for tlio defence produced before
the jury a wonderful discovery. This
discovery, made by Prof. McCullough, was
verified aud endorsed by Prof. Reese and
Dr. Genth, and according to Prof. Reese
seemed likely to revolutionize the Bcicnce
of toxicology. They claimed that a com
bination of remedies, chloral and gelsemi
num, containing not a particle of antimo
ny, when treated exactly as a suspected
wixturo in which antimony was present,
idol 1 give results so exactly similar that
a skinful chemist might he deceived aud
eveu misled iuto the conclusion that anti
mony wus present when not a particle
was there.
But unfotunately for the and
for liis friends who had repeated and veri
fied his experiments, the claim when in
vestigated proved to be a myth, the won
deiful discovery vanished, and the revo
lution in science has been postponed un
til further notice The combination of
remedies when treated in the same way as
an antimonial solution uillnot gice simi
lar results. The reagent that produce an
orange red precipitate from the one will
not give any thing of the kind from the
other. By a very different treatment chlo
ral and gelseuiinum will give a white pre
cipitate that appeals orange red only while
suspended in a deep colored liquid. The
moment the precipitate is separated from
the liquid, it is white. Aud the two pre
cipitates also differ diametrically in chem
ical character. In short, the solution of
chloral and gelsemimmi, instead of resem
bling an antimonial solution chemically,
is in reality so different that tlicae is no
possibility of mistaking one for the other.
The one must he acid to yield a precip
itate, the other must be alkaline.- The
precipitate from one is orange red, from
the other it is white. The product from
one precipitate is perfectly soluble in tar
taric acid, the same product from the oth
er is insoluble in tlio same acid. When
these facts were made known to the Attor
ney General, he spoke very irrevalently
of the wonderful discovery, and denounc
ed it as either an “atrocious fraud on the
administration of justice er else the result
of the grossest ignorance.” I cannot sup
pose that Prof. McCullough, who made
the discovery, or Prof. Kccsc or Dr. Genth,
who repeated and verified the experi
ments, had any doubt on the subject at
the lime, or entertained the least idea of
fraud. Neither is it necessary to assume
gross ignorance, mere want of proper care
may account for very serious mistakes.
Bat then such carelessness once demon
strated iu one important case destroys all
confidence in the opinions of such careless
observers in other cases.

Editor of the Macon Daily Enterprise .-
Dkah Siu—lt xxas with much pleasure
that I read the obituary of little Louise K.
in last Saturday's issue of your paper.
Such pieces uro calculated to do great
good; this one, especially, is (Ull of com
fort and consolation to the Christian heart
of the true believer and well calculated
to encourage a lively interest in the unbe
liever ; eloquently inviting him to inves
tigate a system so fraught with the fondest
hopes aud brightest anticipations. To
find such effusions in a daily newspaper
affords incontrovertible evidence, that the
editotial control of a secular sheet is not
incompatible with the highest claims and
most rigorous demands of Ihe sacerdotal
character. Your allegory of the little
lamb, is truly touching. In the enclosed
lines I have endeavored (rudely it may be)
to embody in verse some of the thoughts
which xvere suggested by the expression,
"And xve xveeping aud mourning follow
the voice," etc.

That voice which once seemed to float
Upon the soft silence of even,
Was hut a soft mnsical note,
Just strayed from the chorus of Heaven.
Borrow’d awhile from the storehouse of Cod!
Where is that beautiful strain •
It has flown to its native abode
To join the full chorus again.
In the bosom of God, you may grow
Beyond our remembrance—so fair;

PROCLAMATION
MAYOR’S OFFICE, l
Macon, Ga., September 28, 1872 f
The city authorities of Macon having received
information to the effect that certain evil dis
posed persons, white and black, have in con
templation certain plans, the adoption of which
would give to one or the other of the contend
ing political parties the full and absolute con
trol of the polls at the election to be held for
State officers in this city on next Wednesday,
This, therefore, is to notify and advise all
parties at interest, that no such unlawful prac
tices will be allowed, nor shall any improper
or unfair means be resorted to at said election
which in their nature would \ calculated to
endanger the peace, good order and welfare of
ihe city.
The carrying of concealed weapons on that
day, will be extra hazardous to the party so
offending, as any man, white or black, who
shall be'found with a pistol, knife, or other
deadly weapon concealed about his person, will
he promptly arrested and placed in the City Bar
racks. This order is imperative, and I will have
a sufficient number of armed police on the spot
to execute it at all hazards.
All Bar rooms within the city limits must be
closed on that day. The keeper or proprietor
of any bar room or drinking saloon, from which
any liquor shall be sold or furnished on that
day, will be fined live hundred dollars.
