Telegraph & Messenger. THURSDAY MORNING. NOV. !>. 1871. TIic Elections. The Northern end Western election* have nenlted in nearly e total smash of the Democ racy. The State of New York is lost by twenty to thirty thousand majority, end by elmost e two-thirds Kedieel mejority in both brenchee of the Legislature. The Western States here gen erally increased their Radical majorities. New Jersey has elected a Democratic Governor, by ruse in of having put ont a very strong candi date, but the Legislature instated to be Radical. These rssnltaapj»rentl, open » clear field to the Grant Radioala for 1872, but they may pos sibly turn ont to be nnfortnnate in their con sequences to that party. An excess of strength is dangerous to a discordant party, while the mere hopelessness of sneoees on the part of the Democrats may induce combina tions dangerous to Grant. Is another view of the matter, these elections ara very unfortunate to the Southern people. Construed, as they will be, as a popular en dorsement of the tyrannical and proscriptive policy of the Administration against the South ern whites, we may expect to see that policy carried ont with a bolder and more relentless hud. We attribute these sweeping defeats to the t^fpS.tona frauds of Tammany Hall, which very unjustly have brought odium on the Dem ocratic name from Maine to Texas. It U true, Tammany has stolen only a few millions, while Radicalism has piled up public plunder by the hundred millions; hot in the North and West, Democracy tad no strength against the odium of its anti-war policy, except as a party pledged to reform and honest administration. When, therefore, the strongest association of these Reformers stood oonvicted before the world as mere public robbers, the moral strength of the whole Democratic organisation was totally pros trated for a Ume, and it fell an easy victim to the jeers and reproaches of its enemies. Judge Warner Tor Governor. Several of the Democratic papers are propos ing Judge Hiram Warner, of the Supreme Bench, for Governor of Georgia. If Judge Warner would aooept the nomination, we have no doubt it would be satisfactory to the people. They would then be sure of an able and an honest man in tho Executive chair. Judge Warner would fear no responsibility in carry ing out bis oonvictions of public duty, and is one who could never be driven beyond the line of true publio welfare. In the way of integrity he is an ancient Roman, and Rings would stand small chance while he held the baton. The .Savannah Republican. Xhft telegrami yesterday announced that onr late copartner, Colonel Wm. A. Reid, had pur- chased the Savannah Republican. We welcome him back to newspaper life, and front that under hie anaploea tho Republican will regain its ancient fi'oancift status. Thirty yearn ago the Republican, under tho management of Looks, was a great property, and there is no reason why it should not bo so egain. Bavaonah has more than twice the population and business she had at that Ume, and can handsomely sustain her present newspaper press. Axonixa or Axxbman's 8»s.— A Western press dispatch says it is well known in Washing ton that the miateke in the President's procla mation, by which Marion county. South Caroli na, was put under martial law, instead of Union, occurred through the bad penmanship of Aker- man. Tho list was sent from the Attorney- General's office in Akenusn's handwriting. It was satisfactorily deciphered except the word "Union," which all the experts in bandwriting finally dedlded was Msrion, and so the prods- maUon including the latter county went forth. Not a Docht or It.—Tho World is inclined to think that Grant's martial law outrage in South Carolina was inspired by a desire to keep the monstrous financial rascalities of Soott A Co. "in the family." We have not a doubt of lb Whenever you hear from a loyl throat the howl of Ku-klox, be euro that loyl hands have been stealing more greedily than usual, and that the owner foci* be is about to be exposed and made to drop out of line. Set that down as an axiom. _ Bbotuu Balaam on ms Tbavils.— A Salt Lake dispatch of the fitb, says a well known Mormon writes from Beaver, October 31, that, "Brother Brigham arrived here this morning, and after resting five hours, left for St George, on the southern border of the Territory. He was escorted by twelve mounted men of the Nauvoo Legion. 'I am told,' says the writer, ‘that he has pud a final adieu to Salt Lake City. Tbs movement of Brother Brigham is greatly agitaUng the minds of the people hereabouts. ” "Fiona MacFuxst."—The total value of dry goods thrown on the New York market from tat of January to date is officially returned a* 911(1,424,615. "Cottons" and "ailks" consti. tute the big items in the bill, and these, the baohelore say, must be plaoed to the account of Flora MoFlimsey. But Flora may retort: Look at tbo heavy items for brandy, ohampagne, cigars, tobacco and other things, in which she is supposed to have little or no direct personal interest— S. T. Xrputt. Tux Gaarmo.—Brown 4 Co. have tho num ber of this prinoe of illustrated papers for Oc tober Slat It is, as usual, as much ahead of all Ua contemporaries, ea one thing can be of another. Its transcendent superiority ought to drive out of competition all nvala both on this and the other tide the Atlantia Without it don’t see bow the Northern illustrated papers could well get along. Dxsict Kjulwat ^ossrenox Brrwxzii. Nox- rouc and New Yoax.—The Vineland Railway baa been finished to the Delaware Bay. This brings New York into direct communication with the rich wheat and fruit land of Sonth Jer sey and Delaware. It requires, it ia said, only ten miles of road to be finished in Delaware to give New York a direct connection with Norfolk by way of the Delaware and Maryland Railway. Tot Kc.xltx in Alibaha—A letter reeeived in Washington from one of the Ku-klux Com- ml Use in Alabama, dated Livingston, Ala., Oc tober 31, aeya that op to this time about 180 witnesses have been examined in this county. In Sumter and Choetaw, the worst in the State, thre is trouble to procure deputies to serve subpoenas. Tu marriage service in the Ritualist Church lasts nearly an hour, and ia a very imposing ceremony. Tho priest who officiates usually wears a robe of white satin, trimmed with lace or embroidery, and the altar ia deoorated with Sowers, wreaths and banners. Ws hope the ladies will come back to a sim ple rtyle of hair dressing, when they remember that most of the false hair they purchase is from the heeds of the Paris Communists, and from all tha prisons here and abroad. Tot Chicago Tribune reports that Secretary Bout well has agreed to recommend that tho Government erect the public buildings at Chicago upon a single square selected for the purpose. Pbxttt Goon.—Referring to the feet that two or three notorious Now York women had aueceeded in having their names registered as votare, “the registrars not finding any interdic tion of female registration in the Constitution of the United States," the Baltimore Snn says: “Jibing at all that is SSS!!?!* O° n, iit n tion may be dona »i Uoo _?o** not provide that donkeys therefore, we presume, non* hav© be«t* made registrars. TOT figures showing the receipt and export of prodnoe at New York fo, the first ten of 1871, oompared with the corresponding term of preceding years, are published. Borne of the leading items among receipts are as fellows: Flour, 3,001,000 barrels, sgainst 3 034 53- barrels last year, wheat, 21,847,876 buhei* against 18,840,024 bushels last year, 00m, 231 775,401 bnshele, against 7,525.174 last year- rooin, 412,142 barrels, against 4.10,607 last year; pork, 159,841 packages, against 94,500 last year cheese, 1,263,833 packages, against 1,2*7,867 last year; lard, 94,186 tierces and barrels, against 62,200 last year; whisky, 140,003 barrels, against 104,768 laat'tear. Eipor.s bear a steady general relation to receipts as above given. Tho export of to) 1-000, crude, is 101,fiW packages, against 76,432 last year THE GEORGIA PRESS. Mr. S. B. Leak, of Griffin, who took the pre mium at the Coiambus Fair, raised 457$ bushels of sweet potatoes on one sere of ground. A "lively little fight between two whits men on McIntosh street,” was tbo only local item re ported in the Augusta papers of Tuesday. Mr. B. B. Baxter, of Hsnoock county, bss a pointer dog that ooat 40 pounds sterling in Eng land a short time tinea N. B.—Grant needn't expect this pup as a present Tho Sparta Times says a load of ootton passed through the streets of Sparta, on Sunday last en route for Augusta, Ga. We understand that it was the property of a planter living in Put nam oonnty. who prefers to ship bis ootton in wagons, rather than have it carried by railroad. Tbo Savannah Republican, of Tuesday, says tbo steamship General Barnes, which arrived at that port Monday evening, brought as deck passengers a large number of Swedish and Eng lish immigrants, the former composed of men, women and children, destined for Florida, at the points Tallahassee, Melonville, and other locations in tho Flower State. The others are English imigrants, and are destined for Madi son, Georgia There is now at Mellonville, Florida, a Is roc oolony of Swedes who arrived last fall. The Sparta Times has information from San Francisco of the disappearance from that city on October 10th, of Mr. Barnard Nye, who was a resident of Sparta about fifteen years ago, and weU known in that section. He had been mis*- ing five days When the Times’ informant wrote, and had considerable money with him. Letters for Shaper Birge, Washington oounty, Sallie E. Hammond, Milledgeville, James L. Reid, Eatonton, and James R. Frazier, Eufaule, are held for postage in the Savannah offioe. The United States District Court will meet at Savannah, next Tuesday. The docket is a very heavy one, and among the cases to be tried are those of Robb, the Savannah Collector, and that alleged embezzler, the headless Krjzanowtki. We find the following in the Southern Chris tian Advocate of yesterday : Eiromr College.—At a meeting of tho Board of Trustees at Oxford, in Jnly, that body find ing that they oould not, at that time and during the excitements and interruptions of the Com mencement, do all the work they deemed essen tial to giving the institution tha highest effi deucy, appointed a meeting for 1st November, instant. Macon was selected for the place of meeting, because it is centrally located to the widely scattered members of the Board. A committee was appointed to report on sev eral matters connected with the subject in hand. The Board met on last Wednesday, and the oommittee reported a complete oode of statutes, putting all the interests of the institution under well defined rule. Among tho provisions adopt ed was one to establish a new Professorship, and to add a Tice Freaident to tha officers of tho faculty. Dr. O. L. Smith was elected to tha new Professorship, and also as President, sod Dr. L. M. Smith was re-elected to his for mer chair, and also constituted Vice President of the institution. All the otber Professors— tbo present incumbents of the reepective chairs —were re-elected. Of tho new editor of the Advocate, Rev. Milton Kennedy, the retiring editor, Dr. Myers, eava: We consider tha choioe a capital one. A son of tho Rev. Wm. M. Kennedy of precious memory—whom praise a half century ago was in all the churches—he has inherited the esteem and love onoe bis father's—the worthy son of worthy sire. For about seventeen years, he has been a traveling preaoher, filling important positions. For some years he has been the Secretary of his Conference, and last year was honored by bis brethren with a seat in tho Gen- eral Conference. He has been a student—though he has not often “rushed into print”—is in- dnrtrions, prudent, wise, lovibla Mr. Kennedy is at present Presiding Elder of the Orangeburg (8. C.) District, and will not enter upon his editorial duties nutil the first of next January. The Savannah Advertiser says Aaron Alpeoria Bradley baa gone to Charleston after his pair of 92,000 bones and a sulky, which is to throw all other Savannah turnouts completely in the shade. The Columbus Sun, of Tuesday, says; Tot Riteb Subvit.—The psrty employed by the United States Government are now at the foot of Uehee shoals. Mr. C. F. Trill, who baa oharge, thinks the obstructions to that point, aome sixteen miles, can be readily removed. He has not yet made an estimate, but guesses a channel of four feet can be obtained at all sea sons to that point, by the expenditure of fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. It would pay Col umbus to do this, if the United States will nob Them obstructions can be removed by a com mon dredging maohina The rocks are soft and will not require the use of gunpowder. The ateamboatmen call the distanoe to Eufanla ninety miles. Mr. Trill is of the opinion that the in struments will show it is Dot much over sixty. He expects the survey will cease about Christmas to be resumed hereafter. His report is very encourging. The trustees of the University of Georgia met, yesterday, at Atlanta. Dr. P. H. Mell, Vice Chancellor of the State University, who was so seriously ill a short while since, oontemplatee traveling some time to recruit his health, and will not resume his official duties until next term. The latest additions to the list of candidates for Governor are Col. T. W. Alexander, of Rome; non. Hiram Warner, and Hon. David Irwin, oi Cobb—the latter of whom is warmly urged by the Monroe Advertiser. Tbe Atlanta Snn, of yesterday, says the G.-and Jury of Fulton comity found true bills the day before against J. C. Alexander, Joseph Fry, James Mullin and N. P. Hotchkiss, charged witheheating and swindling in connection with the State Road. The Sun says a heavy and persistent effort has been and ia being made by variona inter ested parties to stave off, postpone, smother up and forever prevent investigation into their official conduct, and connection with schemes, enterprises, rings and plunderings. They raise raw head and bloody bones stories, suggest sus picions and surmises, and try to excito fears. They want nothing investigated by honest and oompetent men. There are parties whom the publio do no not suspect, who are exerting all their powers, in every way they deem prudent, to keep down investigation. Some men have been remotely connected with the rings, on the sly, and have made money or obtained advan tages, the particulars of whieh they do not want to see the light of day, and to whom publio at tention has never yet been directed in connec tion with such matters. They are opposed to investigation. They favor every measure but the one likely to bring out the whole truth— anything that will not likely rip up the whole matter, root and branch. Mr. Allen, of Jasper county, was robbed of 920, while standing in the passenger depot at Atlanta, on Tuesday. He had paid out 91000 a few minutes befora The Constitution says the struggle for United State Senator has narrowed down to the follow ing limited number of candidates: Dr. H. Y. M*. Miller, General A. B. Wright, Judge John T. Clarke, Judge James S. Hook, Judge Wor rell, Hon. Thomas M. Norwood, Judge Linton Stephens, General F. M. B. Young, and thirty- nine others. Mr. James Williams died at the Monroe oonnty farm on Sunday, aged one bnndrcd and two yean. A man named Lovell was run over and killed by a train on the Cherokee Railroad, near Stiles- boro, last Friday. The Carterevilie Standard and Express says a large area of land uythat section is being sown in wheat, clover, and grapes. Wild pigeons abound in the mountains, and a hard winter is predicted in eonsequenoe. “Wo Bleeding; Martyr, bnt a Spavined Rogue.'’ Tbe World has the best notioe decidedly that we have aeon of the recent flight of the brigand, Bollock. It is such good reading that we must print some of it anyhow. Says the World: I His resignation is simply a confession of j-uilt, and the fullness of that confession maybe 1 tetter understood when it is known that while his resignation bears date aa if in Georgia be is himself at this time and has for some days been in this city of New York. Not only has he re signed bis office to forestall impeachment, bnt actually fled the State as if oonsdooa that even aa the private person to which he has reduced himself, the ordinary process of the court might still be applicable to his case. Could a pismire malefactor be oompared to one of mighty mold, this fellow is Catiline over again, not only avoiding the Senate house, but taking to fl'cht from the city. B The envenomed temper in which he leaves Georgia behind him is seen in the most villain ous traduction with whieh he seeks to bring snatchy, distress and oppression once more upon that ill-used State. According to his story, Georgia intends, by her own unaided strength, no doubt, to overturn the whole United States; snd to this he pathetically adds that if the office he has just vacated should be filled by one of his persecutors, the friends and supporters of the General Government would have no one to invoke the Federal aid in their behalf, and would be “handed over without mercy to the a'fc.rulu of their enemies.” The absurdity of -reorgla annihilating the United States Govern- via Dt „ n 8'*-handed is too great for serious con- ■Mltliui. and in what ia aaid of the friends of mimstartioc "offering from having no Governor to call for help ou their behalf, how how comes it, if there is reported oppression, I that Governor Bollock himself never besought .h«t aid? Thu truth is that than ia no mob violence, actual or meditated, as is here alleged. Not one thought in a hundred is given in Geor gia to ee cession, constitutional amendments, or any other such obsolete topic of Federal polities. The outrageous pecuniary loasea of the people, the weight of their taxes, tbe eemi-disaolmion of the bonds of society by the license given to crime by this fugitive Governor, whose last official act almost was to pardon a most brutal murderer jost about to be hanged—these and other local matters have the publio attention in that State. Upon these issues snd none other was Governor Bollock to have.been arraigned, and for fear of any trial upon them abut, etaeit, erupit, he has cast down his broken truncheon and sknrried off, no bleeding martyr but simply a spavined rogua—JY. Y. World. The Anvil Explosion at Montgomery Two Men Killed and 7 wo Terri bly Wounded. From the Montgomery Advertiser, 7th itut.J At about seven o’clock last sight s crowd of nagroes and white Radicals commenced to gather at the Artesian Basin for the purpose of a grand demonstration in favor of one faction of tbe psrty, generally called the National Guard crowd, preparatory to the pending election. Some old anvils that have been frequently used, and which had caused much fear in this com munity, were brought upon the ground, and prepared for use as cannon. One of these, filled with power by the negro in charge, was touched off and exploded, breaking into several large pieces and with the most dreadful results. Mr. S. S. Campbell, ticket agent at the Western Railroad, was crossing from McDonald's cloth ing store to the Telegraph corner. He was about half way between the two plaoea A large pieoe of the iron struck him back of tbe left ear. mashing in that side of hia face and bead. He ■■nir upon the crossing, lived but a few hourson- ly, and wsa not conscious a moment after be was struck. He was first taken to Irwins, Wallace 4 Co.'a drug store and subsequently to his room. Mr. Jeptha Frost, a workman in tbe Western Railroad shop, was struck in the shoul der, side and arm and terribly mangled. He died instantly on the sidewalk, where he was standing when struck, at the Central Bank cor ner. A piece of tbe iron broke the iron railing around the steps leading into the Globe Saloon, under the Liverpool, London and Globe build ing (Central Bank ooroer) and struck Mr. Morris Light as be was starting uo the steps. He was wounded in several places, tbe severest being in the forehead, which caused a fracture of the skull and is exceedingly serious. His right arm is also broken. He was carried to bis room, where Dr. Hereford and Dr. Douglas dressed his wounds and a delegation of the Lomax Fire Company, of which he is a member, are paying him every attention. Mr. Light was talking with Mr. Henry Yelverton when ho was struck. Mr. D. W. Ferdne wss standing on tho same ooraer (Central Bank.) He was struck above the knee, but bis whole leg was crushed to his foot. His leg will be amputated this morning, as that is the only chance to save bis lifa His condition is very critical. He wss taken to his home in the western part of the eity. Eddie Walker, a little white boy, was wounded but we learn not seriously. Two or three largo fragments of iron Btruck the Telegraph building, missing oueof tbs mes senger boys not more than six inches, another piece struck the clothing store of Titaworth, Soott 4 Co., snd still another the store of J. T. McDonald 4 Co. At last the City Council finds that it has au thority to stop these demonstrations, and an ordinance was adopted last night forbidding them in future. At one time it seemed as if the meetiDg would be held, although the poor sufferers had not been moved a stone's throw. Something, however, operated to put a check upon it, and the gathering quickly dispersed. A Prophecy Fulfilled. A short time ago (says the Knoxville Press and Herald,) a remarkable verification of one of Horace Greeley's prophecies, twenty years ago, was noticed by the press throughout the oountry. Greeley may not be a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, bnt still another predic tion of the Tribane, more than eighteen months ago, is being so accurately fulfilled in each Southern State in succession, that it deserves attention. In Jane, 1870, one of tho editors of tbe Tri bune—probably Greeley himself—sent from Washington, tbe following, which was published at that time in th» Tribune; ‘The manner in which partisan telegrams from tbe Sunth have been manufactured and published in the North, to farther the personal designs of unscrupulous and ambitious men wss well shown np on the developments brought out in reference to the Washington Chronicle during the progress of tbe recent Georgia inves tigation. The same game is now goiDg on in connection with tho internal affairs of otber Bootbern States. It is believed that tha ensu ing elections in tbe Sonth will result, in some instances, not perhaps in tbe defeat of the Re publican party, but in the defeat of certain in dividuals wbo are and have been tiring that party aa a means only to their own selfish ad vancement Forseeing this, the effort is to get np an excuse to declare martial law, and local newspapers in the interest of the men alluded lo are teeming with acoounta of ‘outrages.' This is particularly the oase in North Carolina, and no surprise need be felt at a daily dish of horrors from that State, served up in the Chron icle; ‘ for,' said one of the North Carolina sen- atom, ‘we intend to use the military, and in justification, we must get these statements dis seminated through the North.’ ” NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. MANHOOD The Amenities of Politics—How One Presidential Candidate “Goes” Tor Another. George Francis Train who is, as all the world knows, an independent candidate for President against the field, made one of his rip-staving norations at St. Joseph, Missouri, ono night last week. The. following extract will serve both to show George’s style, snd also what be thinks of one of his opponents: Grant is the most gigantic sell ever played off on an outraged people. [Sensation. J He ia an ignoramus. He thinks Lafayette come from Germany and the Hessians from France. [That's so.] Hence he sided with a rotten em pire against a live repnblia [Hisses.] Don' liss him; he don't know any better. I never see the General that I don’t feel like saying General, I’ve only five minutes, tell me all you know. [Laughter.] You might S3 weU try to light a wet squib as to get a popular cheer for the great dead-beat, dead-head, bribe-taker I [Sensation and applause.] His passage through tbe East and West is a funeral cortege, with Morton, Butler, and the official thieves as pall bearers. [Sensation.] His own party swallowed him as they would a does of salts and senna [Laughter.] They are ashamed of him. His ignorance, his nepotism, his disgusting habits, are minutely portrayed by Sumner, Tilton and Phillips, once his bosom companions. [Laugh ter.] Greeley and Butler loathe him, while the party obliges these professional hacks to sleep with him. [Laughter.] A fast horse, a short six. some rot-gut, a tan-yard, a big steal, and stolid stnpidity make np his grand total. THissoa] Fatal Panic In a Colored Chnrcll—Nine Women and Two Children Trampled to Death. Louisville, November 0.—List night a ter rible aocident occurred in the Colored Baptist Church in this city, by which several lives were lost. Tbe chnrch is a two-story frame building, arranged for worship in either story, but the upper room is handsomely fitted np, and was occupied last night at the time of the accident, by a large congregation. Tbe pnlpit is in the rear part of the room, and there ia a small gal lery in front of the choir. Two narrow stair ways, each probably four feet wide, rise just inside the main door of the building, and lead up to the room. The floor is supported by a row of pillars, extending from front to rear of tbe lower story. It appears that these pillars stand over the space between tbe lower joists, and rent only on the thin plank of tbe floor. At about 9$ o'clock, after tbe colored pastor had concluded his sermon, and while the collection was being taken up, the pillar supporting the floor immediately in front of the pulpit gave way, and the floor sank a little, with a crack ling noise. Some one in the audienoe shouted "the church is falling down,” and immediately the panic-stricken congregation rushed for the doom. The preacher and oDe or two others, who retained their presence of mind, endeav ored to check the tumult, and started a hymn, but without avaiL In the wild stampede, wo men and children were crushed in the jam, or knocked down and trampled under foot. Tbe panic lasted bnt a few minute*, yet in that time eleven persons, nine women and two children, were killed, and a large number were seriously injured.

Tbe vegetative powers of life are strong, bnt in a tern yeare bow often the pallid hue, the lack- luster eye, and emieiaied form, and the impossibil ity of application to mental effort, show their baneful ieflaenca It soon becomes evident to the observer that semr depressing influence is checking tha development of the body. Consumption is talked of, and perhaps the youth ia removed from school and sect into the oountry. This la ono of the wont movement*. Removed from ordinary di versions of the over-changing scenes of the city, the powers of the body, too much enfeebled to give zeet to healthful and rural exercise, thoughts are turned inwardly upon themselves. If the patient be a female the approach of tbe menses is looked for with anxiety as the first symptom in which nature is to show her saving power in diffuaing the circulation and visiting the cheek with tbe bloom of health. Alas! increase of appetite has grown by what it fed on. The energies of tbs system are prostrated, and tha whole econo my is deranged. The beautiful and wonderful period in which body and mind undergo eo fascinat ing a change from child to woman ia looked for in vain. The parent's heart bleeds in anxiety, and fancies the grave bnt writing for its victim. HELMBOLD’S Extract Buchn.
