After a northeasterly rain of two days

Wxsr Virginia.—The pres3 dispatches
raise the figures 2,000 for 'West Virginia
in the early telegrams. We reckon they
will hare to add 3,000 more; but 12,000
will do very well.
On press dispatches are fairly lavish
on foreign news, from which we come to
‘the conclusion that the peace movement
Of the powers becomes daily moro un
likely to succeed.
"Want Change.”—The Sun discourses
at lsngth on "why we want change,"
Jo polities. We need change in every
department—small change and large
change -and the danger is of getting too
little instead of too mneh.
- «Tn voioe of the tnrkleis heard in
the land," bnt the early telegrams do
not say a word about the voice of the
Radical press turkles upon recent elec
tions. We should be pleased to have
tbeir reflections—to inquire after their
health, and know how they stand it.

Ton Indian popnlation of tbis country
has decreased nearly one-half during the
last fifoum years. In 1861 the Indian
expenses were $2,865,000. In 1875 they
were $8,384,000, or about four times os
much, with scarcely half the Indians to
provide for. Th9 more dead Indians the
greater the expense of running the In

Mushrooms and Toadstools. — The
New York papers are going into learned
analyses of the difference between
mushrooms and toadstools, so as to guard
against any farther fatal mistakes.—
Hundreds of persons are poisoned every
year, though seldom fatally, by eating
toadstools for mushrooms—and they are
all connoisenrs, too—too experienced to be
mistaken. The safest way is to let these
miserable fungi alone. The man who
had uined off a bnnch of skinned snakes
which he had bought for cels, waB con

Thb Cotton Coop.—In all this section

Will finish picking early in December—
something very unusual. In most local
ities there has not been a good " season,”
in planter parlanoe, far nearly three
months. Not only has the cotton suf
fered, but the pea and potato crops have
been almost totally ruined. Vegetation
is nearly literally parched up.—Shreve

A HaniT.n letter from Franklin, Ind.,
mentions some of the follies of the cam
paignt "The women wear invariably
■onto bit of red about their persons, to
symbolize the bloody shirt principle
upon which the campaign is conducted.
Some wore shawls that were entirely red,
or barred with red, and red nbbon9 flat
tered on every side. The men who took
|UU* in the precession wore blood-red
shirts, with cuffs and collars of blue.
The whole atmosphere of the town had
an ensanguined look. The eye was pained
phvcically and morally by the all-per
vading color, emb'ematic, as in this
instance, of hatred of the South. In
every Republican procession I have seen
ro't shirts play the most eonjr icuous
P»rt.”
How tbe .Republican Flan
Came to Grief.
Hartford Times]
The administration party had arranged
what their chairman of the State Com
mittee, Mr. Sperry, called "a still hunt”
in Connecticut, with a view to capture a
majority of the towns in the October
elections, that the result might be tele
graphed about tbe country as a proof
that the tide was with that party, aud
that they were going to carry Connect!
out The work was pushed quietly, and
everything seemed to promise well. So
the Hartford Ceurant tamo oat Monday
morning with a decided demonstration
of crow! K in advance. The Democrats
make a net gain of five towns, and car
ried eighty-five towns (and are entitled
to eiubty-saven in thoir column, for New
Haven and Bridgeport are Democratic,
but did not vote on the 31 of October),
while the Republicans can.count up but
sixty.nine; and of that eleven that are
in :ho “equally divided” colnmn, tho
Democrats have a majority in any con
tented popular election. On tho popular
vote they have in these eighty-seven
towns a very large majority, and the
towns they carry will electa large Demo
cratic majority in tho Legislature.
The congressional Electionsj
We appeal to our friends, everywhere,
to bestir themselves in the matter of the
Congressional elections. Three weoks
from next Tuesday will decide the ques
tion whether onr delegation in the next
Honso shall be a unit or be broken
by tbe success of one or more Radical
candidates. If oar friends relax their
efforts there is danger of snch a deplora
ble result. In the Second Congressional
district Whiteloy is boasting loudly of
victory, and points to tbe defeat of the
Democracy in two or three counties in
that district, at the late election, as on
dence that he will win in November. He
is building largely upon that fact, and
the resulting inference of Democratic
apathy and indifference. True, the dis
trict has given Colquitt a handsome ma
jority, bnt tho apparent lack of effort on
the part of the Radicals in that contest
was, we understand, part of Whiteley’s
plan to lnll the people into security. We
have very little donbt of it. He is as
wily as ho is mean, and will spend money,
time, health, everything, lavishly, to
succeed. Of all the men running on that
side in this State he is at once the most
cunning, malignant, and utterly without
scruple. We nrgo onr friends down there
to watch him. Keep on his track by
night and day. Never let him get out of
your sight for one honr. If onr friends
will do this faithfnlly they can beat him
soundly. Bat if he is allowed to get
back to Congress, and there ehonld hap
pen to be a Radical majority in the next
Honse, ho will make the white people see
sights. He is utterly wicked, and as re
morselessly malignant and cruel as old
Morton himself, or his master.
In the other districts, though there
seems now small cause for apprehen
sion, the same policy should be pursued
We have information that tho plan of
campaign, which was followed in many
parts of the State by the Radicals at the
late election, of not making mnch of a
fight on Governor and the Legislature,
was marked out at Washington, and
that the instructions were to stake
everything on the Congressional contest.
The head devils of the party care very
little about a Democratic Governor and
Legislature. They wvit recruits at
Washington for their Congressional
force, and issued orders to make all
other considerations subordinate to that.
Wo can and must defeat them at this
point, at all hazards. Georgia must not
take a single step backwards in that di
rection. She stands solid in the 44th
Congress against the common enemy, and
she must not move one line out of her
tracks. She owes it not only to hor own
safety and self respect, but to her allies
elsewhere. They have put her down for
nine votes solid against Radicalism, and
all its wicked ways and works in tho next,
as in the present Congress, and she will
merit their keenest contompt and sorest
displeasure if she fails to meet this
reasonable demand.
Wards of Cheer to Onr Carolina and
Louisiana Friends.
Frompreseat indications, the grest bat
tle ground of the Radicals will be trans*
ferred in a great measure from the North,
to the negro-ridden States of South Car
olina and Louisiana. Here, the moment-
ons struggle for existence in those States,
and the canso of constitutional liberty
throughout the Union may possibly be
decided. To this end the horrors of mar
tial law, the disarming of white citizens,
the introduction of an armed soldiery,
diabolical appeals to race antipathies and
prejadicies, fraudulent voting, and every
other unholy effort known in the annals
of crime and oppression, will be brought
to bear, to sustain the sinking fortunes of
the corrupt faction which has so long
preyed upon the vitals of the country.
Bnt we would exhort our fellow citi
zens of these sorely afflicted common
wealths, "in patience to possess their
souls,” and to remain calm and steadfast.
Bv the supreme effort of their own
loyal hearts aad voices may the work of
political salvation be achieved. It is im
possible that ignorance, vice and poverty
can prevail over the united efforts of a
bravo and virtnons people, who are the
landholders and capitalists of the com
munity. And already, we behold in South
Carolina thousands of the most intelli
gent blacks refusing longer to respond to
the imperious rule of the carpet-baggers
wbo have deceived and impoverished
them, and rallying to tho standard of the
gallant Hampton. Albeit a large slave
owner formerly, they know him to be a
good man and true, and the staunch
friend of the African race. And indeed
there is no better established fact as a
general rule, that under the old regime
planters who inherited their slaves made
the best and most humane masters.
Hence their devotion to this preux cheva
lier of the Carolina gentry. Wherever he
moves, crowds white and black, mounted
and on foot attend him, and he is hailed
as the savior and deliverer of all classes
from a bondage far more intolerable than
tho mild rule of the plantation.
Governor Chamberlain may, under
cover of infamous falsehoods, tbe depo
sitions of ignorant and besotted parti
sans and a subsidized military, succeed
in disarming and insulting a noble peo
ple, but he caunot quench their spirit, or
retard tbe sure marsh of reform and gen
uine liberty at tbe ballot box.
Every white man in Carolina shonld be
enrolled in one vast vigilance committee
to supervise the integrity of the ballot
box, and checkmate the nefarious schemes
of the Radicals. And this we believe
will be done. Smarting under greater
wrongs than ever Poland or Hungary en
dured, robbed and despoiled of their pos
sessions, insulted and trampled under
foot by assassins, bigamists and thieves,
what fate is reserved for them if this
crusade for freedom and the dearest
rights of man prove unavailing ? " Once
more to the breach ” then, dear friends,
and be assured, that the sympathizing
eyes and hearts of the whole country
are centred upon yon.
Merrill’s South Carolina Drag-
oniade.
The New York Herald of Tuesday, in &
leader of moro than a colnmn and a half
on the Chamberlain and Merrill raid in
Soath Carolina, says if the Republican
leaders have not lost their senses they
will make haste to put a stopper on Cham
berlain, whom it denounces asa reckl&s
disturber of the psace—bent on getting
up a collision in South Carolina in order
to secure his own re-election, contrary to
the will of the people, by military force
and intimidation. The Herald warns tho
Republican leaders that the people have
had enough of tbis Federal interference
in the affairs of tho Southern Stotes,bnd
that a multitude of voters who are now
making up their miads, will be rightly
impelled to vote the Democratic ticket
in November if tho Administration per
sists in this insane and unconstitutional
policy.
Th9 Herald reiterates its advice to the
oolsred people of South Carolina to vote
for Wade Hampton and honest govern
ment as tho only rational course they can
pursue in the premises to restore peace
and prosperity to that afflicted State and
promote their own best interests.
Ferro Manganese.
This mineral substance has only within
a few years come into notice, on account
of its admirable qualities in the manu
facture of tbo best and hardest steel,
In five years tho demand bos increased
from zero to 50,000 tons per annum of
epiegeleiten, & preparation of this mineral.
Though widely diff ased over the earth,
manganese is found usually in small de
posits, which, when worked, are soon ex
hausted. Hence, the pnee of tho article
known aa Ferro Manganese (abont $250
per ton), manufactured by tho Terre
Noir Steel Company, which has rendered
its common uso impracticable.
This mineral i3 employed in a molten
state aB an alloy to the iron ore, prevent
ing what is termed red shortness in the
met*l, or snch a degree of brittleness as
greatly impairs its value. The effect of
the manganese is to toughen and harden
the steel, rendering it malleable and fit
for the most delicate machinery. Even
the softest iron thus treated may be util
ized.
The one great drawback to tbe general
use of this alloy, its scarcity and expen
siveness seems to have been completely
overcome by tho discovery of the Bartow
county mine.
We have beforeusaspecimen from the
“ Diamond Furnace ” of Mr. Willard P.
Ward, in Bartow connty, furnished by
onr friend James McPherson, Eiq
which contains sixty per cent, of pure
manganese, and is unsurpassed in rich
ness by any known to the trade. The
ore is obtained from the side of a lofty
hill, ten miles from Cartersville, and the
"lead ” from which it is extracted is
eight feet in width, and apparently in
exhaustible.
The furnace of Mr. Ward is very small
and defective, and he confidently believes
that a stronger blast and better appli
ances would greatly cnbanco tho value of
the product.
This specimen will be presented to the
Library Society, and kept on exhibition,
that all may view it.
The specific gravity is much greater
than that of iron, and nearly equal to pure
lead, while so great is its hardness that
glass may be cut by it as readily as with
a diamond.
Thus, day by day, is the incalculable
value of the minerals of Georgia begin
ning to be developed, and in the opinion
of the wisest experts must soon prove
source o f vast wealth to the common
wealth.
Don’t Take it for Granted.
We hare little or no fear of the result
of the election in Georgia for Congress
men on the 7th of November, but it
never altogether safe, and certainly never
wise, to take anything for granted in
political canvass. There is no dead sore
thing in politics, except counting out the
ballots. There are always chances and
risks no man or party can afford to ignore
without more or less danger. The only
absolutely safe course is to make every
assurance doubly sure, by working as if
defeat stared yon in the face. That's the
right line and the safe line in politics.
No other will do, and no other should do.
If victory is worth winning, it is worth
fighting for with all the vim, and tact,
and resource that can be summoned for
the purpose. It is as much our duty, as
well as our safety, to do our level best on
the 7th of November to send nine Demo
crats to the 45th Congress, as if the
State election had been close and there
was reasonable apprehension a3 to tho
result.
We believe tho people are fully alive
to their duty and this necessity, but
ringing the changes when yon are on the
right line is never amiss in politics.
Some men are hard to move. Either
they aro naturally sluggish, or over con
fident, or indifferent. They need rous
ing np, frequently, and being kept in
that condition. We tell them they can
not afford to sleep for the next three
weeks. The devil of Radicalism
abroad in Georgia, notwithstanding tho
tronneing ho got on the 4th of this
month, and will sow many grioTons tares
if not vigilantly watched and followed
He workB secretly and silently, in com
ers and ontof tho way places, and always
with an energy and unscrnpnloasness
bom of mingled hato and hope. It is
now very well known that orders have
been sent from Washington to Georgia
and all tho other Southern States to stake
everything on tho Congressional fight.
Tho Indiana election has filled tbo
leaders with dismay, 03 to their Presi
dential prospects, and they are planning
a hedge on Congressmen. They will bo
ready by election day, if they are not
now, to trade two or threo to ono for
votes for tbeir Congressional candidates.
This is their plan of battle. Shall it
win in Georgia, of all States ? is the ques
tion. Never, never so long as onr people
havo memories of the bitter past, and
high hopes of the future now glowing
with the golden tints of tho rising sun of
victory. It cannot, it must not, let
Georgians swear it shall not be. They
now confront the enemy with chances of
success immeasurably better than any
since the war. They are well organized
and disciplined, with high hopes and
brave hearts. Only let them do their
whole duty, put forth their full strength,
and we are safe. Who can, who will hes
itate or baulk in this glorious purpose ?
Wq have the enemy on the run. Let us
finish the work and drive him to the doom
he has so long deserved.
Special Dispatch to tho Courier* Journal. J
New York, October 10.—Intense in
terest is manifested in New York to
night over the receipt of tho news from
Indiana and Ohio. Folly four thousand
persons assembled in front of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, the returns being bulle
tined at that point. News of Democrat-
io gains in Indiana, and indications that
tho Democrats had carried Indiana to a
certainty, and probably Ohio, caused in
tense enthusiasm, and cheer after cheer
went up.
BEPCHLICAN HEADQUARTERS NOT JUBI
LANT.
At the Republican headquarters. Fifth
Avenue Hotel, affairs were anything but
jubilant. Special dispatches to the Re
publican National Committee came in
slowly, and were not encouraging.
THE DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS.
At tho Democratic headquarters, on
the contrary, special dispatches were re
ceived in large numbers throughout tbo
evening, and were of tbe most enthusi
astic character. An immenso crowd had
gathered outside the hotel, and the read
ing of the dispatches was received with
loud cheers.
THE GENERAL RESULT.
At a late hour to-night the genera] im
pression here was that Indiana is sure
for the Democrats, aud Ohio doubtful,
with strong hopes that it has gone Dem-
craiic. No snch enthusiasm in regard to
an election has ever been witnessed in
this ci y during the last eight years.
One Organ Satisfied.
There is «ae Radical organ in the
United States which is rejoicing over tbe
Western election nears, and that is tbe
New York Commercial Advertiser.. The
Advertiser is happy over the returns from
Indiana, and thereby displays the mode
ration of its anticipations. Let the rest
of tho brotherhood catch the infection
and cheer up. What if Tilden shc-uld
be elected. Ho will be jnst as good a
President for them as for the Democrats I
Tbe Poultry Yard,
More poultry is now exhibited in the
Democratic newspapers than we have
seen in twenty years past. The birds are
apparently fat, bnt they are all "roost
ers” (so called), and look as though they
might bo too tongh for the pot. Bat on
old German hermit of onr acquaintance
always chose the longest-spurred rooster
he conld find. His practice was to boil
them with rico and vegetables two days
in succession for soup, and eat them on
the third.
The hosts of these open-countenanced
old roosters which now crowd the Tilden
papers remind ns very much of those an.
cicnt chickens which find their way down
to Macon from East Tennessee towards
the heel of the poultry season. It is
shame to kill snch birds, because they
are solving tbe great problem of immor.
tality. Examine tbeir legs—look at their
zlrin, corrugated and as tough as leather-
test their sinews, os strong and elastic S3
steel—observe their sturdy proportions-
It is donbtfnl, if they had been let alone
by the East Tennessee housewives,
whether they would have ever died.
Twenty years of the battle of life have
only served to make them more enduring.
They shonld be left to continue their tri
umphant straggle with old Time, and
take their chances of whipping tbe fight
at last.
So it is with these old Democratic roos
ters. They aro rery old and tongh—<
hundred years old or so. They have
crowed over many a victory and have
slunk with bloody combs and drooping
tails before many a defeat. Tboy are too
tough for the pot, and the people will not
kill them, because they are engagod in
curious and interesting straggle against
time for an immortal duration. Hurrah
for the old birds—we are glad to see them
about again.

Thb .Atlanta Commonwealth has the
following account of the collision on the
State road, near Icevillo, telegraphic
mention of which was made yesterday:
There is a train on this road known as
the ‘'accommodation,” which arrives in
this city at 9.30 o’clock in the morning.
It stops at Iceville. seven miles from
Atlanta, for the purpose’of attaching an
ice car, and this morning-while standing
thero a freight train ran into it in tho
rear. Tho two rear cars of the forward
train aro passenger coaches, and tbe next
in front a loaded ccal car. When the
report was given that a train was coming
in the rear several -pssaengera made a
rush for the door and succeeded in
getting out. When engine ,N6. 2 came
in contact with the rear car of the one
standing still, two gentlemen were on
the platform of the latter getting ont,
and one of them, an old gen'leman from
Tennessee, name not known, was precipi
tated between tbe coal oar and the
passenger coach, and was killed instant
ly. The other gentleman. Judge Lindlcy,
of Cobb county, was caught between
tbe cars also—that is, bis legs were—and
it required at least ten minutes* hard
work to separate the cars and extricate
him from his horrible position. Ho
called upon all present repeatedly, for
God’s sake, to assist and get bim ont
When he was finally removed, it was
found that his limbs wero terribly
crushed, and it is reported that ono of
them was cut off. He evinced tho great
est self-control daring the painfnl scene.
As soon as Jndge Lindley was taken out,
the conductor, with Col. Alexander came
on the engine to the city (or a surgeon
and a passenger coach to bring down
Judge Lindley and tbe other pa=mengers.
All tbe passengers wbo remained in tbe
car escaped without injury. These are
tho particulars as near as we can obtain
np to the time of going to press. It is
a painful duty to chronicle these sad oc
currences, yet such accidents will occur
occasionally, in a life time, however
careful one may be.
Lateb.—The name of the gentleman
from Tennessee who was killed is 8aw-
tell, father of Mr. H. C. Sawtell, of this
city. Jndge Lindley is now dead. He
was at one time a member of the Legis
lature from Cobb county, and a promi
nent citizen.
The "banner” connties aro named a3
fellows in the Commonwealth ef yester
day: In Bnllocb, McDuffie, Monteoui-
gomery, Webster, Wilkes, Wiik eson,
Miller, not a vote was cast for Jonathan
Norcross for Governor. Irwin, Rabun,
Jefferson, Dodge, Columbia, furnished
one each. Fulton county, so far. has
cast the largest vote for Colquitt. Hous
ton comes next.
The Dalton Citizen announces itself as
warmly in favor of 8eta‘or Norwood’s
" being elected by the next Legislature
as his own successor in the United States
Senate."
Thb Citizen furnishes this oolumn with
these additional items:
The new crop of co-n is coming in at
thirty cents a bushel. Fall apples twen
ty-five c-nts a bushel and sweet potatoes
about tbe same.
We learn that the crop of sorgum is so
great in Gilmer county the present year
that it cannot be made up. It is plenti
ful enough in our own market to go at
from 30 to 40 cent? per gallon.
A novel proposition or a new candi
date for tax collector is, to obligate him

Mr. W. W. Thomas, recently elected
to the Legislature from Coweta county,
has written a letter to the Newman
Herald defining bis position on the Senato
rial qnsstioa, from which we make this
extract: Both Mr. Hill and Mr. Nor
wood havo ably defended the South and
advocated her causo. But I prefer to
vote for Mr. Norwood for this reason:
Mr Hill has a seat in Congress, and has
recently been nominated for re election
without an opposing \pice. He can hold
his seat in Congress as long as he desires.
I cannot see that he will be of greater
service te Georgia in the Senate than in
the House. He is already in Congress,
where he can do as much for us, perhaps
more, than if ho was in tho Senate. Bnt
if we put him in Mr. Norwood's place
we have to put Mr. Norwood out of Con
gress. Wo have to dispense with his ser
vices entirely. Are the people of Geor
gia prepared to do this? I think the
interest of tbo country require that both
Mr Hill and Mr Norwood ehonld be kept
in the public service. For a number of
years after the war it was a source of re
gretand mortification that we had no
one in Congress who had tho ability or
courage to make even a tolerable defense
for our side of tbe question. It is not
so now. We have some now in Congress
wbo are able to defend us against all ad
versaries. Shall we not keep them there ?
I think the people of Coweta will eay
yes 1 With Hill in tho Honse, and Gor
don, Norwood and Lamar in the Senate,
the South need fear no contest with her
adversaries, however formidable, on the
floors of Congress.
Tbe Albany News reports a bold at
tempt to rob the safe in the warehouse
of Messrs. Welch & Bacon, one night
last week, which failing, the thieves com-
iromised on a pistol and somo stationery
a a drawer. They hid themselves in the
yard until the warehouse nm closed, and
then went to work.
Thb Jonesboro News appeals to the
people to vote the Radioal thieved down
and ont, it they don’t want the whole
country stolen. It says at the "present
rate ot stealage in public land, they will
steal tbe whole continent in the next four
years, and not leave a foot of land for an
honest man to stand on.” •
Thb Second Conqbessional District.
We echo and emphasize the following
appeal to the Democrats of this district,
which we find in the Albany Ninos: In
the election last week the counties of the
Second Congressional District gave Dem
ocracy a majority of abont 4,000—just
what Whiteley wasted done. He was an
advocate in that fight of independents,
compromises and general mixtures.
Shrewd and thoughtful as be is, his efforts
were directed towards blinding tbe peo
ple of the district to a sense of their own
condition; and thus slyly crawl by them
in November. Suffer not yourselves to
be deceived. There is work ahead. Our
victory is not yet won. In some of these
connties the Republicans offered ne op
position. In none did they manifest that
deep concern which characterizes their
actions on days of Congressional elections.
They await the "big day.” Then they
will muster themselves out from every
nook and comer. We must meet them
with full force, and drive Whiteley to the
wall as we did two years ago. In order
to accomplish this, we need the individn-
al effort of every white and colored man
in the district, who has the good of his
country at heart.

Saturday Night.
Octobzr 14.—Wo close to-night an aa
rive week in trade. Cotton receipts have
been abont five thousand bales—one of the
heaviest weeks in this respect since the
war. The dust and dronth have been re
lieved by three days of " misty, moisty,'
easterly rain—the kind of " drizzle-droz-
zle" the preaeher prayed for; and roads
and gardens look tetter. The health of
the town is perfect—so to speak.
And 03 naturo has assumed a more
cheerful aspect, the Democrats have
brightened up quite as much over the
results of the October elections. Last
Saturday we had occasion to remark:
Daring the weak tbo Gubernatorial
election in Georgia—tbe defeat in Colo,
raio and tbe approaching crucial trials
of strength in Indiana and Ohio next
Tuesday, have turned gossip wholly on
politics. Tho anxiety is great and so is
the depression among Democrats gen
erally. Few have the faith which wo
havo tried to inspire. Bnt, nevertheless,
we think that the Democrats will carry
nt least two of the threo "doubtful
States” of West Virginia, Indiana and
Ohio, which voto on Tuesday, and wo
also bolievo in a strong showing for Ohio.
If all this does not happen wo shall be
much disappointed.
The votes havo been counted, and,
though wo have not at this hour the full
result, we all know that these prognostica
tions havo been verified to the letter, and
a cheerful confidence in tbe Democratic
future has taken the place of general
distrust. The Democracy of tbe nation,
we believe, will elect Tilden, although
they may not bo able to seat him. The
Radicals are going to make a startling
record before they give np the govern
ment of this countiy. But to ub per
sonally it makes not much odds. An
administration in a popular, electorial
and Congressional minority will bo shorn
of much of its power for evil, and the
remedy will come in time. Push on the
column.
Chamberlain's Desperate Game
If anything wa3 lacking to arouse the
Democracy of the nation to a true sense
of the dangers impending from the tri
umph of Radicalism, the uaconstitution
al, partisan and tyrannical proclamations
of Carolina’s carpet-bag Governor, dis
arming unoffending citizens and virtually
inaugurating martial law, fill the hiatus.
They will give Tilden and Hendricks thou
sands of votes at ths North, and nerve
the nnterrified people of onr sister State
to new and inerfiasod efforts, in the brave
attempt to throw off tbe tbtaldom of a
corrupt and piebald government.
Never did a faux pas on the part of
onr opponents happen more opportune
ly. This, together with the cheering
resnlts in Indiana and West Virginia,
will give an impetts to the cause of our
gallant standard bearers which alone was
needed to insure a Waterloo victory.
There will be a charge now all along
the line, from Maine to Oregon, against
the quaking columns of tbe Radicals,
and the advocates of reform and free
government we fondly believe will ront
the enemy, horso, foot and dragoons.
But every man must do his whole duty.
With the "silverlining” irradiating the
black cloud, which has so long hovered
over tho fortunes of the Republic, sttreiy
every patriotic bosom should be en.
tbused with new hope and encourage
ment, and the campaign be prosecuted
to its end with a vigor and determina
tion unknown in former contests.
Who can estimate the benefits of vie
tory,or realize the long night of despair
which must inevitably succeed defeat?
The fate of a nation, it may almost be
said, hangs suspended upon the success
of Tilden and Hendricks.
To the front, then. Democrats, and
monnt guard and keep watch and vigil
against the insidious schemes of your
enemies, until the thrilling ides of No
vember shall witness their final and total
overthrow.
Cotton Hick.
Cotton bore a sickly front in all the
markets yesterday, in the face of a moral
certainty that the crop will bo cut down
four or five hundred thousand bales.
That is more unreasonable than tbe
Ohio election.
Gerrymandering.
The power of gerrymandering Congrcs
atonal districts to secure a misrepresenta
tion of the people in Congress is illos-
trated by the Associated Press reports
to-day, which claim tbe election of nine
Radical Representatives in Congress to
fonr Democrats, in Indiana, while the
State gives a majority of five to eight
thousand for the Democrats on the entire
popular vote. Such an alleged repre
sentation as that is a swindle on the peo
ple. Taking the vote of Ohio and In
diana together, as it was cast last Tnes.
day, it is nearly a stand-off—showing
probably a small Demoorario majority—
and jqt the Congressional representation
stands twenij-one Radicals to twelve
Democrats.

Tax coroner’s jury, which investigated
the cause of the deaths by the accident
on the State Road last week, found as
follows:
We find that the deceased came to his
death from gross and criminal negligence
on the part of Wm Sheridan, engineer
of 2J section No. IS, which train occa
sioned the collision by approaching and
passing the station at Iceville at a high
and unlawful rate of speed. We further
find criminal negligence on the part of
Mr. Samuel Corley, the conductor ot tbe
Goober train, In failing to provide and
send back flagmen to notify No. 12 of
tbe presence of his train at the station.
We farther find that there has been
such gross negligence in the matter as
will fully warrant tho grand jury in
making a thorough investigation, and
bring tho responsible parties, if there be,
to punishment.

The Oglethorpe Echo give* us this bit
of Atlanta News: Mr. Carey W. Styles
publicly caned the editor of the Gaines
villa Southron in the car shed at Atlanta,
Tu-sday night last, for a libelious article
published against him in that paper.
Thb same paper tells this on a Charles
ton joker: Mr. J. B. Benson, a promi
nent merchant of Hartwell, has printed
upon his letter-heads the words: "Dealhr
in Ererythicg Except Liquors, Playing-
Cards and Tombstones.” A wag in
Charleston, who saw one of the letter
heads. thought he’d come it on Benson,
and so wrote him for a second-hand coffin.
But Mr. B. was not to be outdone: so he
purchased of the Masons a mammoth
coffin that they had thrown aside, and
expressed it to his Charleston corres

Hon. A. H. Stephens.—The Angnsta
Constitutionalist says: We spent some
time this wet k with Hon. A. H. Stephens,
at Liberty Hall. Tbe old statesman has
quite recovered his ordinary state of
health, and looks as well as we have
seen him daring the lost five years. He
has an excellent appetite, enjoys the
bonntifnl repasts of his home table, and
is never ss well pleased as when old and
new friends partake of his good cheer.
His removal from a dismal and ill venti
lated room, or rather den, to cheerfal and
comfortable apartments in the renovated
main building has been attended with
the best results. This change was made
at the suggestion of a lady, the wife of
one of his oldest and most distinguished
friends. She certainly did as much for
his physical well-being as any of the
doctors. So well indeed is Mr, Stephens
that Gen. Toobme, who tarried between
trains while we were there, and is him
self in robust condition, declared em
phatically that he had "named Aleck
tv his exeentor.”
Municipal matters are warming np
in Angnsta. Thirteen hundred voters
have registered, and thre9 candidates for

Hukobs ob thb Bbnch.—Under this
head the Chronicle and Sentinel prints the
following: In passing sentence upon a
colored hog thief the other day, Jndge
Mackey, the grim dispenser of justioe in
tbe Sixth (South Carolina) District,
asked the culprit what time it wonld re
quire to bring a race ot hogs up to fall
weight and maturity? The thief al
lowed it wonld require about three years.
Well, said the Judge, I will give you just
three years and a half at hard labor in
the State’s prison, as I wish to give the
people in your neighborhood ample time
to raise a new stock before yon regain
yonr liberty. Another member of the
colored persuasion, who woe convicted of
arson, was called up for sentence and was
told if he had be^n a white man he
would giTe him one hundred years in the
penitentiary, but inasmuch an he was a
colored man, and he wished to give him
an opportunity to see tbe next Conten-
nisi, he would make it only 99 years.
Considering who and what Mackey is,
and how mnoh ha is indebted to the
Sonth Carolina darkeys, snch talk, and
especially from the bench where he was
placed by their votes, is as ungrateful as
It is undignified.
Thb Houston Home Jouned has the
following notice of the death of Mr. J.
W. Lathrop, of Savannah, which was an
nounced in our telegrams yesterday
morning:
Intelligence was received lost Tuesday
by the family of Gen. Warren that his
son-in law, James W. Lathrop, was very
low at Greensboro, N. C. Mia Warren
and her daughter, Mrs. Goodwin, left the
same day for Greensboro. A dispatch
came last night from Mr. Morehead to
Col. Grice, announcing Mr. Lathrop’s
death. Ten days ago he was summoned
from Savannah to the bedside of his son,
Charles H. Lathrop, who was taken sod-
dealy ill. He went, only to find biB son
a corpse. This son was about twenty*
two years of age, and had just been ad
mitted to the bar with bright prospects
of success. This shock was too severe for
the over-taxed powers of the father, de-
pressed and worn ont as he was by tbe
scourge of yellow fever which he had been
in for weeks; and he went at once to what
proved to be bis bed ot death. Mr. L*-
throp was a native of Connecticut, bnt he
came to Georgia when a mere boy. For
several yean hla scant earnings were
carefully sent to his widowed mother to
assist in paying for her home. He en
gaged in merchandise for several years at
Hawkinsville, and thence he went to
Savannah in 1854. He then went into
the warehouse and commission business
which he continued up to his death. Per
haps no man in Georgia was better known
in commercial circles than J. W. Lathrop,
and no one who knew him ever accused
him of a mean or dishonorable thing.
He was, we think, President of the Sa
vannah Cotton Etohange when he died. :
He was a man of few words, but of decid- i
ed convictions and of great energy. We
learn that he did mnch for the cause of
benevolence, bnt in such a quiet way that
it was seldom known abroad. The de
ceased was in his sixty-second year, aud
he leaves a wife and two children, J. W.
Lathrop, Jr., and Mis. Eugene Morehead,
of Greensboro, N. C., at whose honse he
died, surrounded by all his family.
Amongst Savannah’s long list of dead for
1876 none stood higher for industry, in
tegrity and capacity than the snbject of
this sketch.
Thb Radical Villainy in South
Carolina.—We find the following tele
gram in the Augusta Constitutionalist ot
Friday:
Aikbn, S. C., October 12.—George W.
Croft, Leighton Finlay, F. W. Coffin, G.
O. Mosely, J. Lloyd Courtney, O. C. Jor
dan, John Balvik, W. W. Whilden, M. J. -
Nevans, and C. W. Moore, were arrested
in town this morning and admitted to
bail this afternoon in the sum of $2,000
each, with bondsmen. Nineteen farmers
were brought in hut night through a
pouring rain, and were not allowed either
fire or food, bnt immediately committed
to jail, many being without food twenty-
fonr hours, until furnished by the citi
zens this afternoon. Among the arrested
party several are between eighty and
ninety years old. John Hankinson, a
colored Democrat, has also been arrest
ed, and bail refaed him. All have been
admitted to bail in the above snm except
six, for whom bail has been refused. The
work of arresting is still going on, under
the management of the notorious Canton
and Blackwell. Gen. Conner, Leroy F.
Youmans and. W. T. Gary are still here,
and will continue to represent the de
fendants.
Two-thirds of tho cotton crop cf
Houston county ha3 boen gathered.
Thb Houston Home Journal says an at
tempt was made lost Sunday night to
born the gin honse ot Col. Palaski Holt,
abont four miles sonth of Perry, by a
negro named Sampson Williams, who has
given the officers leg ball.
It is stated that the Atlanta and West
Point railway is now carrying about
seventy-five car loads of cotton to At
lanta doily; and collecting abont $30
freight per carload for the same.
Thb Cuthbert Appeal brags that at least
two thousand bales of cotton have been
received to date at that place.
Thb last grand jury of Wilkinson
county pays this compliment to the hoard
of county commissioners: Through the
financial abilities of the board of connty
commissioners the incubus of debt has
been removed from the prosperity of the
connty; bridges and pbplic buildings
generally are in good repair, and the
taxes for general connty purposes reduced
this year 100 per cent, compared with the
amount assessed last year.
Thb Sumter Republican says there is
"living near Americas a married laly
who gave birth to twins—two boys—on
the 29th of December, 1875, and during
the latter part of last September per
formed the same feat by presenting her
hnshand with a couple more boys. We
regret to learn that one of the latter died
last week.”
Gin. Pleasant J. Phillips, one of the
earliest settlers of Columbus, and at one
time President of the Bank ef Brunswick,
died of apoplexy last Thursday.
Thb Quitman Reporter is offered for
solo by Mr. Jos. Tillman, the proprietor.
We hope he will get a good price for it,
and that it will continue the fight on the
common enemy in that section. We learn
from its laat issue that there was a sev
enty hours ram fall in that vicinity lost
week.
Hugging a Miller connty Democrat
cored the local of the Bainbridge paper
of bilious fever last week. If she was

How Banks Should bs Conducted.
Mr. Lockwood, of the National Bank,
Richmond, who attended the recent
Bankers' Convention at Philadelphia the
other day, hands ns, says the Diepatsh, a
eopyof ex-Secretaiy McCulloch’s address,
from which we take the following:
Banking, when intelligently andhon-
estly conducted, is an honorable busi
ness. When so conducted it yields afoir
return on the capital invested, and adds
to the general prosperity. Upon bank
management I hardly feel at liberty to
eay anything to gentlemen so experienced
and enlightened as those I have the
honor of addressing, and yet it may not
be improper for me, an old banker, to,
suggest, for the benefit of those of less
experience, that tbere are certain rules
and principles the observance of which
is necessary for the success of banking
institutions, and for the fulfillment of
the duty which their managers owe to
the public. I will briefly enumerate
them: ’
First—The capital of banks should be
real, not fictitious.
Second—Tho managers shonld not be
borrowers, nor should loans be made to
stockholders merely because they are
etockholders.
Third—A certain amount of the annual
profits should be carried to the surplus
l and—the larger the surplus the better
—not only for the safety of the stock
holders, liable as they are, under the
bank act, for an amount equal to their
shares, but for the protection of deposi
tors.
Fourth—Banks should be kept strong
in their cash reserves, as times frequent
ly occur when the strongest atand in need'
of them. Nothing in the long run payB
better than a "goodly” amount of idle
money, especially when specie is the only
legal money.
Fifth—A3 banks are commercial insti
tution*, created for commercial purposes,
preference in discounts shonld always be
given to paper baaed upon actual com
mercial transactions. Banks are not
loan offices. It is no part of their busi
ness to furniib their customers with
capital, nor should loans be made under
any circumstances ibr operations in
stocks, or to furnish facilities in stock
operations.
Sixth—Renewals shonld only be per
mitted to secure donbtfnl debte, or in
cases in which mere time is required
than was anticipated when the loans
were made to complete the transactions
upon which they were based.
Seventh—Such salaries shonld be paid
officers and clerks as will relieve them
from the temptation to dishonest prac
tices—tho services of those whose expen
ditures exceed their incomes should be
promptly dispensed with.
Eighth—Bank managers should bear
in mind that they are not only trustees
or stockholders, but that they owe some
thing to the public—that their whole
duty is not performed when good profits
are made and solvency accrued, but that
they should do all in their power to en
courage morality in business and elevate
credit, especially commercial credit, to
the highest standard.
Accept my thanks for the patience
with which yon have listened to this
long and hastily-prepared adddress (it.
wonld have been better if I had had
more time to prepare it), and the expres
sion of my regret that I conld not make
a better return for the honor conferred
upon me by your chairman in inviting
me to address yon.

The favorable mortuary reports of the
past several days, says the News of yes.
terday, had led to the hope that the fever
was gradually but slowly decreasing in
fatality. These hopes have been rudely
swept away by the mortuary report ol
the twenty .fonr kours ending at 6 o’clock
m. yesterday, from which it will be
seen that the number of interments from
all causes cf death was twenty-six, o!
which twenty were from yellow fever
cases—a large increase in mortality upon
the previous day. The cry here is “How
long, ah Lord! how long?"
The weather has turned warm again,
and the sadden changes from a low to a

added fuel to the fever. A hard killing
frost is the only thing that will stop the-
tread of the destroyer.
