Farrow, Attorney General—Sm- The act of October 3, 1870, for holding an elec: tion oa the 20th, 21st and 22d of this month, has received different constructions in two par ticulars. 1st. It is contended that section 12 of the act is inconsistent with paragraph 3 of sec tion 1315 of the Revised Code, which requires each ballot to be numbered; 2d. It is con tended that as the act of October 3, 1870, pr°' hibits challenges at tho polls, tha power given to the managers in section 1303 of tho Code to require at their discretion any suspected per son to take an oath testing his qualification, is repealed. As it i3 of importance that' there should be no uncertainty , upon either of these points, I desire your opinion upon them.' Vqry respectfully, yours, eta, R. B. Bullock. Office Attorney Gen., State of Geobgia,) * Atlanta, December 3,1870. j Mis Excellency Bi B. Bullock, Governor, etc.: Bra—Yonr note of the 24 .inst., asking opin ion as to tho proper construction of tho elec tion law of October 3, 1870, is at hand. Tho only portion of the act of October 3, 1870, which can be considered at all inconsistent with the part of section 1,315 requiring the mana gers to number tho voles, is section 12, which requires one of tbe managers tareeeivethe bal lots, and another to deposit them in the box, saying nothing expressly about the daty of numbering them. As, however, the manager’s oath,, as well as section 23d of th aet, in express language, keeps of force all former laws not militating against the new act, it seems to me very clear that the duty to number the votes still remains the law. 1 come to this condoaion the more readily be cause the prohibition of challenge makes the duty to number the votos of the greater impor tance, aud it is hardly to be supposed that the intent of the Legislature was to repeal it, in the absence of express language to that effect. 2. The power given to ths managers to re quire any suspected voter to take the oath is given by tho section 1,303 of the Code, wholly irrespective.of the rights of any oitizen to chal lenge, aud is not in my opinion taken away by the denial of tho right to challenge. Indeed the act of October 3, 1870, by impli cation reserves this power to tbe managers, since it makes it their duty to refuse the ballots of certain classes, and implies therefore a right to administer tho oath. This oath prescribed ia the Code must, how ever, necessarily be modified by tho changes made by the Constitution of 1868, in tbe quali fications of voters. As so modified it is as fol lows : “I do swear that I am a citizen of the United States, (or that I have made a declaration of my intention to become a citizen of the United States,) that I have resided six months in the State, and thirty days in this county; that I have paid all taxes which havo been required of me, and which I bad an opportunity to pay agreeably to law,.for the year 1869, and that I am under none of the disabilities prescribed by the Constitution of 1868. So help me God.” With great respeot, I am yours, etc., • H. P. Fabbow, Attorney GeneraL IMPORTANT. The Constitution of the State, as well as the aot of March 19, 1869, makes it illegal to sell intoxicating liquors on election day. The act of 19th Mach, 1869 prohibits the sale within one mile from the town or precinct where the election is held, on pain of fifty dollars fino, or imprisonment inf lie common jail. It wiU bo your dnty to see that this law is en forced ; jour oath requires yon to endeavor, in f ood faith, to carry into effect the “Jaw for olding elections.” If yen know or hear of any violations of this law, nt any time during the days of tbe election, it will bo your duty to canso the parties offend ing to bn arrested; and as often during the day as tho offense may be committed let. the law be enforced, as eaoh sale is donbtless a separate of fense. The act of 19th March, 1869, is as follows: An Act to carry into effect Suction 8, Article 2, of tbe Constitution of this Staio. Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly met. That from and immediately after the pas sage of this act, if any person shall sell intoxi cating liquors on election days, at or within one mile from the city, town or precinct where elec tions inaybs held, he shall bo guilty of a mis demeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall ba fined in a sum not exceeding fifty dollais or im prisonment in the common jail of the county not exceeding ten days, or both, at the diicre- tion of the court, for each and every offense.

In rural .homes they are often introduced with fine effect as far as tha land scape is concerned; although tbe rooms, they cover are insufferably hot in summer, and cor respondingly cold in winter. But apart from convenience, comfort, or architectural effect, they aro rogular fire-traps, and the, city insur ance companies will begin to grow shy of them wbenthe danger ia onoe appreciated.; They are nothing less than a great wooden story topping ont a brick or stone building, constructed for a bonfire on scientific principles, and placed in a position where the danger is greatest and the remedy least effeotive. Tha great increase in the number now under, contract and. the evi dent peril to city property from this dangerous nuisance leads .ua to this plainness of speech concerning them. Some Very Urge and elegant bnildings base recently been finished toward tbe heavens in this way, and others are in pro- gr'esstbiWil 'by k 1 most of Commerce. : •> The Russian Navy.—The English journals are exhibiting gTeat alarm in consequence of a report that the Ruoeianshave already fifty irdh- clad monitors, drawing uuder eighteen feet of water, at'Nflcolaieff. ' ThU -town, significantly called Ihe “Portsmouth” of Russia, is situated on the river Dneiper, whioh flows into the Black Sea through tho basic called tbe Dneiper Liman.; ! is stated that for soina _ ©very difficulty has bsmtfflmropiit ...... foreigners desiring tq visit:Nikolaieff, and that Rosas has refused permission to have any Etr- glish naval offloera attached • to. the Br?tish F“ hassy at St. Petersburg. It is reported that . forts of Kertch and Yenik&le, at the entranced the sea of Azof, have been fortified in such a manner as to be thoroughly impregnable. II baa .ttaJotcai! F.itnjYV By Holcombe’s Survey, tho distance from Healey’s Shoals to the Vinevilte Branch, at which point tho canal is- to terminate, is seven and six-tenths miles, and the fall of water actu ally available for mechanical power will be thirty feet. The entire fall from that point will bo thirty-four feet. The volume of water will be limited only by tha size of the canal. This scheme contemplates a canal forty feet wide at the bottom and sixty feet wide at the water line, with five feet depth of water, which would give a mechanical power of 625 cubic feet of water pefsecoad oa a fall of thirty feet—suffi cient, according to the estimate of - engineer DnBois, to driva tea factories of 150-horse power each. The supply of water, however, would be ample for a canal double this capacity, affording, of course, twice the power. ' The cost of the canal proposed was estimated by Mr. Holcombe at $212,500 and by Mr. Hazlehnrst In 1866 at $225,000, and ihe annual value of the horse power was calculated at $59,- 100, Mr. H izlehurst estimates the cost of wa ter works which would supply every part of the city, except Bond’s Hill, with water, at $200,000 additional; but gives no estimate of the income to be derived from the water supply. For the highest points of the city a smaller independent reservoir would be required. The caual upon which these estimates are based, follows tho coutso of the river near its western bank,'except atWinship’s bend, just above the rapids, which it crosses in a direct line. From these brief notes, it is too obvious to require further assurance that the enterprise embodies every condition of profitable invest ment. It ought to nett at least twenty per cent, th the stockholders upon an investment contem plated by the estimates. But wo think it is a pity that inadequate means should ba suffered to limit the size of the canal to one-half the volume of water af forded by the river. 171416 the company is about it, and the additional outlay would be comparatively so small, the whole should be utilized. This would add nothing to the cost of the dam, and very little or nothing to that of the embankments. It would, at the most, mere ly double the cost of forming the bed of the main canal, and add a hundred per cent, to the power obtained. If possible, the company sbonld aim at acquiring tbe whole power of the river. Some notes on the Augusta canal, whioh are added to the report of enginoer Holcomb, stato that tho mistake of too small a capacity to the canal was made in that case, and that the power might have been vastly increased with out adding materially to the cost. As to the calculation of tho value of tho pow er the original report of Engineer Holcombe, (June, 1849), puts the figures thus: Tho full cost per year of a horse power by steam with pine wood at $2,00 a cord is $44, and attend ance thirteen dollars—equal to $57 a year. These are low estimates applied to tho present time. Wood is three to four dollars now and la bor much higher than it was in 1849—and, moreover, the greater oost of steam engine re pairs and lubrication should ba added. Mr. Holcombe further estimates that every one thous and spindles will represent employment and subsistence for 100 persons—operatives and their families. Upon this basis it can be eBti- mated what population the power of the Oemul- geo river properly utilized would add to the eity. It would drive a hundred to a hundred and fifty thousand spindles. In connection with this caual enterprise, there is a project whioh will he novel td many of our readers, but which we understand has .been demonstrated to be feasible by numerous ex periments, both in Europe and in this country. We allude to what is caRed tho “Transmission of Power" for long distances. It is contempla tion to ran tho great Laboratory Factory some where about a milo and a half distant from the river and canal, by water power obtained at tho river. This is done by means of successive pul ley wheels stationed 400 feet apart and con nected by endless belts of steel wire cable until the last one connects with tho propelling pulley at the Factory. As this is a new, and possibly may be a valuable, idea.to some readers, we append a letter Upon the subject from the engi. ueer. to' Mr. Henry V. Meigs : Engineer’s Office, N. Y.

To Montgomery and Back. Editors Telegraph and Messenger .• Indulge me a little, while I narrate a few things seen on this little trip. One feels a strange pleasure, although leaving his home, as he takes his seat in the luxurious passenger car that runs be tween Augusta, Macon and Columbus with out change. This pleasure I had on last Thurs day morning when I left Macon for Montgom ery. The Southwestern Road was never in a better condition than at present. Good cars, safe track and polite officers always guarantee a pleasant ride. ' .> ‘ ' . Our conductor, the jolly, genial Giles, had a difficult ease to decide soonafter we left Maoon. A very light yellow colored man, well dressed, took his seat in tho ladies’ car, among tho white folks. He had a pamphlet in his hand, and read on one page (if he read at all) nearly all the way to Columbus. Giles came to him, and upon a close survey deoided that ho properly belonged to the next car, aud so expressed him self, but the man insisted that he passed lor a white man in New York—end as it was doubtful, Giles gave him the benefit of the doubt, and he remained with his eyes fixed on that page. I think the work was Jayne’s Medical Almanao for 1871. : At Columbus we changed oars for Montgom ery. However, after leaving the Macon car we stepped into a dining saloon connected with the passenger shed, where we got the best din ner wo have ever had at an eating house Binoe the days of Byington at Fort Valley. We ate and paid, one dollar, and felt that we had re ceived fiffi value for it—a rather uncommon feeling in these degenerate days. The road from Columbus is not in good or der, and the time, therefore, is slow. But as this road is now under the control of Mr. Wad- ley, and the energetio Superintendent of the Western Road, Captain G. J. Foreaore, it can not long remain in.ils present condition. The Western Railroad extends from Columbus to Selma, and is destined to be a more profitable road, and one very important as a link between New Orleans and New York. They have no surplus men on this road. Conductor McCoole leaves Montgomery at 6 a. m., runs to Colum bus, whero he meets the passenger train from Maoon, and returns to Montgomery at 74 p. m. This ho does seven days in the week, and keeps jat on it. He had a little experience Saturday with a couple of 15th damsels. They got into the ladies’ car. Mao told them they must take the car provided for them; whereupon a car pet-bagger present advised them to sit still, and he would report the conductor. To this the conductor replied that if he didn’t close up he would put him out tod, and that if he preferred the company of the dusky ladies he conld ac company them into the next car. The damsels prudently went where they belonged. Montgomery is jubilant over the deliverance of that State from,Radical bondage. As you have already announced, ex Governor Smith, on Sat urday, surrendered the government to his suc cessor, Governor Lindsay. The Democrats have everything now but the Senate.

The Democrats of Fayette county have nom inated M. Harp, a crippled soldier, for the Leg islature. The ticket for county offioers is most ly made up of the same good material. We quote, as follows, from the Monroe Ad vertiser, of yesterday: Sale Day.—Several valuable tracts of laud passed under the hammer on Tuesday, and varied from two to eight dollars per acre: The figures obtained were not at all satisfactory— one or two farms sold for less than lands have been renting for two or three years. Judge Zellner bought the Hnguly plantation, consist ing of three hundred and seventy sores, for three -thousand two hundred and fifty dollars; the Davis place, threo hundred and fifty acres, was sold to Col. Trippe for $2,200; the John Moore plantation, nine hundred aores, to E. M. Moore for $4,500; the Edwards farm, one hun dred acres, for $200; aud the Tomlinson farm, one hundred and fifty acres, to 0. M. Sutton for $soo. Sale Day in Jackson.—Tho attendance from the different sections of Batts, at Jackson, on Tuesday last, was quite numerous. But liltle property was sold. Tho farmers generally re ported crops gathered, the negroes restless, un settled, and somewhat indisposed to contract at present. The advice of Long, Crowley, and disturbers of their character, black and white, has led many to make exactions for labor that cannot be granted, and wo heard of a number of farms npon which no labor has been secured. Incendiary Language.—The Intendant, CoL Hammond, xeoeived an anonymous commnni- oation recently, in wltioh the writer, among other things, declared it to be the settled pur pose of the Radicals, in the event of the defeat of George Glower for the Legislature, to destroy the town by fire.. The tone of the latter is ex ceedingly threatening and incendiary. Tuesday night Geoige avowed the authorship. A stitch in time saves nine. The Advertiser makes the following report of a speech made at Forsyth on Saturday night by George Clower, tha negro candidate for the Legislature: My Friends—I am mad. I am here to exer cise my rights, and I will do it if I am slayed. I have been told that Democrats say they will scare us away from here to-night. I received this telegram a few minutes ago, and it has got my “dander” np. I intend to speak, and if they trouble ns they will pay dearly for it We have a peculiar nod and whistle and by these we rally. Let the whistle be giyen, and we all come up .like ants. I intend to put a stop to these threats. I have more influence with Gov. Bollock than any man in Monroe county. He pardoned one negro out of the Penitentiary at my solicitation. Bollock will defend us in all things, and if ho is powerless, Gen. Terry will lend assistance. Thru you see, my friends, I have influence, and I intend to esk Genoral Terry to put this town under martial law. I have'been charged with writing a letter to a certain Democrat. That letter was written in the interest of peace —it is a peace messen ger in behalf of the colored citizens. It de mands peace and onr rights. Let trouble oome and Forsyth will be left in ashes. My people will follow in my tracks. I made-a speech at Gnllettsyiile reoently. Hud I been disturbed, as I was told would bo the case, tho place woald have been destroyed by Are.

There was a certain oH gentleman—a Biron, who liv ed in ono of tco west-end suburbs. He had a-f delightful villa in a garden with high walls. Ha was very muoh of an invalid, and had to be - wheeled about in his chair. He got up late; ho was dressed with all due oare by his servant#; ho had his breakfast between eleven and twelve; then he was wheeled out into his verandah, at to some snnny grass-plot, to read the papers; and then again at a certain hour in the after noon ho was wheeled bavk into his honse, and he was seen no more. The people who over looked his grounds knew his habits, and he was as good os a clock to them. He had a wonder ful dinner in tho evenirig, for whioh the neigh boring butcher had to provide with awful solic itude. When tho siege drew near, the Baron was torn in pieces between a desire to get away and fear for the safety of his precious abode, in which everything had been arranged for bla taste and comfort. “I do not know what is to be done,” he sold to his most trusted servant, Felix;the pea-, pie will say that I. am a co ward if I go away; that I fly from danger ; and they will destroy my honse. No, I cannot go away.” “People are so unreasonable," said Felix; “ they can not expect H..le Baron to fight, confined as he is to his chair, and yet if ho leaves Paris they will he very angry—they will be jealous. Surely we can arrange something.” “No, Felix—no,” said the Baron, I mast stay.” And Bure enough,- when the siege began, there was the Baron .to be seen as usual reading his paper after break fast in his pleasant garden. “There’s a true patriot,” said the neighbors; “he does not tom his back on Paris like so many others. He can do nothing for us, but at least he can suffer with us. He is a hero.” “But how he eats,” said another. “ The butcher tells me that since the siege he eats more than ever, and is always sending Felix to complain of the meat. These invalids—what appetites they have.” “Ahl” they all agreed, “ I should be sorry if anything happened to the Baron—he is a good: felknr; and, as for eating, let him eat-.' There ia plenty to eat, and it is his only amnseoient.” One day, however, it was observed that the Baron read his paper longer than usual. The afternoon was far advanced, and . still he read. No donbt he was waiting for some one. Per haps Felix had forgotten him. The sunset; the dinner hour drew near p and still, in the twilight, the Baron could bo seen reading.” ‘‘Ah, what has happened to the Baron?” said the neighbors. “He will catch his death of cold. The dews of evening are very danger ous.” Bat they did nothing. No donbt they discovered some satisfactory, explanation of what they had seen. In the morning they look ed out of their windows—and cb,.horror!—the Baron was still in his chair immoveble r reading the paper. No donbt he was dead. He had been seiztd with a fit, and that wicked Felix had neg lected him. They rushed into the garden to see for themselves, and they found a lay figure. The Baron had, in fact, loft Paris in good time; and had left at the head of his little villa in the suburbs a wooden idol,- decked out in his clothes, to receive all the outward observances which were usually paid to himself. The trick we© discovered one day when t'no servants forgot themselves; and the neighbors laughed so much at the joke that they spared the house. A New Yorker, on a.Southern Trip* The Journal of Commerce is- giving the jot tings of a New Yorker Soath of the Potomac. Here is an extract: 1 i From the moment we cross the James River at Richmond, all things beoome strange to the 'Northern eytu; There is a marked difference ia scenery, products, architecture, social character and the means and inodes of locomotion. A survey of our railway train discovers the front car set apart for negroes; in the middle osr, men smoke, spit, ohew and make themselves perfectly at home; the rear car is sacred to la dies aud those who accompany them. Any gen tleman who ia squeamish as to tobacco, has S privilege here with his lady; but after, all, there is little choice in cars as respects pure sir. The first is redolent with odeur d'Africaine, the second with tbe vapors and exhalations of the weed, and the ladies car with sour baby smells and paregoric. At tbe depot a motley crowdof negroes are selling “snacks” to the passengers through the car window. (A snack, in the ver nacular, is half a chicken, with'bread; some times it is fi*h ) Knacks aro tbe rosin stay to appetite down South; for eating houses are scarce, and their tables generally execrable. )Ye were advised of this opportunity, and pro ceeded to lay in supplies. Oar negotiations were interrupted by the warning: “All aboardl" “No hurry, massa,” said the negro. At that instant the whistle blew, and the train moved off slowly. Wo thought the ingenuous African had fibbed. But presently it came to a dead halt, and did sot start again for fifteen minutes. Tho African was right!. ..7 ~ ’7. Dixie is aslow country. . There are no light ning expresses down South, no fast freight trains, no rival popular lines, tbrongh without change."' Nobody se’ems in a hnrry, and the oars run slowly. People don’t risk thaix necks catch the train before it leaves the next. Half the schedule time is consnmed in stoppages. The ears run ten minutes asd step fifteen. This gives the passengers an opportunity to make the acquaintance of residents along the ronta. It is also favorable to colporteurs and oensua- takers. Down Sonth, every one is acquainted. The condnotor knows the majority of hie pas sengers, We atone we a stranger among them all. In looking through the car, we notice that nobody wears silk hats; felts are in vogae. Mfm feel that we are scrutinized—known by en “beaver”—recognized as a Northerner. For the first time vre realise thst we are down Booth. Then, the style of dreoata different; ao tithe lan guage, th« accent, sadtha iooal vocabulary. Look ing out of the window, there ore new features in tbe landscape. 'Tobacco fields and drying houses, MtEke fences, core cribs, or mills; bouses with their 3cellars out: of doors, bnrtfts with piazzas all around and huge chimneys dinging to i heir gables, clusters,of dingy cabins whexo the negroes “quartered” further southward, turpentine stills peer oat from gloomy forests of pine; we crass intermi nable swan pa on rickety trestle work; saw skills are in busy operation; sluggish end muddy rivers wind through the bottoms; buzzards Stout in (he fields; houses become fewer in number rad more scattered; the country ■‘—murfft s dreary aud monotonous aspect. ’ Occasionally s passenger alights at a lonely station, mounts a horse, and rides off into the erne®.’ Slowly the cars ramble cm. ;Tbe shadows oi evening fail space.
