Dead Again!—^Tho Now York Herald of Wednesday, which has got to be the main or gan blawer of the administration, diagnoses the oase of the Democratic party and pronoun osa it daad—very dead. How many times the Daceoeratlo party has died in the last half a century and bow many time* it will die in the next And yet, after all, it will live to put a decent aod oo the graves of all its successive opponents down to the «nd of time.

Tac GubEKNITOIUAI. “QUESTION."—The fol lowing ia the form of Judge Room's resolution passed by the Senate on Friday: Resolved by the Benate and House of Repre- sentativM in General Assembly met, If any con tent should arise between the person elected by the people to fill the vacancy created by the res ignation of ltnfoa B. Bullock, and the lion. Benjamin Conley now execotlog the duties of the Executive Department of llie Htate Gov- emment as to the right to exercise snch duties and fill said vacancy, or lietwoen any other per- son claiming the right to exercise the duties of said Executive Department and Hon. Benjamin Conley, now exercising the duties aforesaid, such contest thonld be decided by the legal tri bunals of tho Htat*, and that the decision be conclusive on the parties to such contest and h# respected and obeyed by the people of this Slate. ^ Honr It In to lip I*ut Tlirougli. The Washington Republican, which ia the apeoial organ of the President, says that it will require not leas than 10,000 regular troops judi ciously distributed through the Bonth to insure a free and fair election in 1B72, and that it may b* nooaaanry for Congress to increase the army. Whereupon the New York Hun says this ia bnt one of numerous indications that Grant intends to fore* his re-eleotion by placing the whole Bonth wider bayonet rule should he receive the Republican nomination. Bneh a method of in suring a free and fair election certainly de serves the orodit of originality. It was only equalled by the ingenuity of tho Ethiopian pres ent-inker, who relates his experienoo in one of the negro minstrel halls. “Pouipey, whir yon get dat watch?" “A mangub it to me." “Gob U to you for nnffln ?" “Tea—bnt I had tojknock him down free or four time* before he’d do it.” If Grant rnna for President in 1872 he ia de termined to hare a free and fair election, even if it should be neoeeeary to bayonet every man in tho Southern Stales who opposes him. \Vhat would bo deemed a free and fair election by a man who haa used United States troops and Gatling guns to oontrol the action of a Repub lican Convention at New Orleans may he easily imagined.—Floridian. Tbit Coiscimrac*.—It ia wall worth remem bering. It waa a remarkable coincidence. May 22, 1669. Niuety-aaren acres of land in Cook county, Illinois. Chioago ia in Cook county. It is quite probable that land in Cook county, or any other county, near Chioago is very val uable. Joseph U. Jones and wile to Ulymes S. Grant. Joseph R. Jones appointed, on the 22d of May, 1869, by the President, of the United States, Minister Resident of the United States at the Court of Bnueel*. Oo that day the deed for the ninety-seven acres of Cook county land waa made by Joseph K. Jones and wife to Ulys ses S. Grant fur the nominal consideration of one dollar. On that same day the President of tho United States, whose name ia Ulysses S. Grant, appointed one Jones, one Joseph It. Jones, Minister to Belgium. A remarkable co incidence. In brief, “How ia that for high ?” A Otoaiora Yocno Woman.—If long hair be the gtoy of woman, then there ia a glorious young lady in Bouton. She waa persuaded the other day to give a private exhibition of her beautiful hand of long and heavy black hair. Her htght is five feet three inches, and when she ia standing erect her hair falls to her feet, and trails a quarter of a yard on the floor. It ia 73 inches in length. Here, indeed, ia a fa vored young person: No need haa she of chig nons, nor of braid*, nor of fronts, nor of trioo- pherous compounds; and Eve herself, the primal and perfect woman nobly planned, had proba bly no greater wealth of tangled charms. Die carding all moral principle, we are tempted to lapM into the meanest kind of pun, and to pro- nounoe this Boston beauty the greatest kairtas In America. _ Model Eitino Hooaaa.—Meaara. Willis Clay of Jessup, No. <: Atlantic and Snlr Railroad, and J. W. Hardwick, who keeps the dinner bouse at No. 12 Central railroad, deserve each, the pat ronage of all who travel their respective routes. Bountiful tables supplied with game, andall the deliaaciee cf the assemi, unexceptionable cook- ary, attentive servants, and scrupulous neatness, leaves little to he inquired for b/tbe hungry traveler. Wo venture the assertion that better houses of entertainment cannot be found on any of the railroad haa* between Canada abd Flori da. Call and judge for youieolvts. Nomdt'i Fobtcne.—Brown A Co., have juat received Edmund Yates »last novel, bearing this title. It ia one of la* beat, and on* of the moat thrillingly interesting stories avar told. Yates has deservedly high rank among the younger Uteralevrs of England as those who have reed “Saved at Last,” “Black Sheep/ 1 “Broken to Harness," etc., will heartily alDsL His pen has been idle along time, it seema tons, and we were growing impatient. V » erasure many others who sympathized with us, will welcome “Nobody's L’ortcne" as e.uthasiastioaily a* wa A I'nlform Rate or Freight on nil Rnllronds. A bill haa been introduced into the lower Honse of the Legislature to provide for the en forcement of a uniform tariff of freight charges on all the railroads of the State. This would be desirable, if practicable, bnt any Jaws inter fering with trade, or of a sumptuary character, are a direct encroachment npon private rights, and invariably remit in mischief. As well at- tempt to fix the value of the planter'a corn or cotton, or seek by arbitrary enactment to de fine the price of gold and silver. These are questions that regulate themselves by the prin ciples of rapply and demand, and the postu tales of political economy, just as water will seek its natural level. The author of tba project mean* well, bnt has not considered that practioally it would operate very unequally, and therefore, disas trcmaly npon many railroad companies. The power of monopolies would be augmented there by, for if the tariff was very loir, the weaker companies would succumb under it, and placed at a high standard, then the stronger would only become still stronger, and better able to build, or buy oat competing line*. Bat what justice would there be in affixing the same rates upon two road*, one of which oo*t ten time* more than the other, aod require* twice or thrice the annual expenditure to keep it in repair. We repeat, tba maxims of free trade alone should obtain in (he promisee, and auoh sub ject* are not matter* of ligitimate legislation. “The world ia governed too much." Tho lanry law. We are sorry to see that tb* bill repealing the usury laws was indefinitely poat]>ooed on Friday in th* Ilonse, by a vote of 81 to r,. The attachment to them forlorn relics of bar barism is to ua a wonderful and inoomprehensi ble fact. On every photoeophical principle, in the first place, money like every other mer chandise should be left to adjust its own price under the laws of supply and demand, and there is no more reeeon for fixing its value by law than for attempting to establish the value of eorn, cotton and bagging in the same way. Secondly, the attempt to rognlalo it in that way i* a total failure. The law naya seven per cent., bnt even every law giver violates it, and (he rates of interest in commercial transactions in Georgia vary everyday from eight to thirty per cent., and are ao quoted in all the papers. It will be safe to eay that the law is invariably and totally disregarded. Fray tell ns, then, where the use of it? and what other effect has the law than merely to embarrass transactions in money —bring State authority into contempt—obstruct the influx of external capital into Georgia, and ao add to the prioe by diminishing competition? We trust the Georgia Legislature will get out of that rut, after awhile. A Protest Against the ‘•Tmwum” Policy. We find the following earnest protest against the adoption of the passive or 'possum policy —as somebody has wittily termed it—by the National Democratic party next year, in that ever faithful Democratic journal, the Boston Poet. Bay* the Post: It is not progress and growth for the party which is the inspiring motive of tho peaaiv6 pro position. ao mnch as it is a gambling fondness for change, a trafficking attachment to both the party and its great principle*, and a timid and oonfuned calculation of chances that pays far more regard to the personal profit than the popular advantage. Any politician of ordinary penetration must understand that a negative position for a great parly ia sure disintegration and death. Defeat outright could not bring on the catastrophe so suddenly. It would be a general disbanding without even the usual con dition of external compulsion. Whether weak ness or treachery, false judgment* or cool de sign, the result would be no less thorough and complete. Genuine, progressive Democrats, determined on an expansion of the party doc trines and methods to the utmost limit* of lib eralism, lint resolved to protect their faith as their only footing in the general confusion, honestly believe that the liberal element of Re publicanism can be bronght into co operative position witbont making this confession that they must hide their prinetptee in order to vin dicate them. Bnppoaing the proposed scheme of passivism to bo possible of success, it still remains to be shown in what way the Democratic creed has been liberalized or what new guarantee of its operation in (he Government it will have received. To win a triumph for a cause liy re fusing to mention the cause, is ao idle as a pro position as not to make it neoeasary to attempt it as an experiment Martini I-atv Movable. Says the St. Louis Republican, the example of the administration in being so careless as to pnt the wrong oonnty in the first proclamation of martial law in Bonth Carolina ia having its effect on the United States' military there. They would seem to think that they carry mar tial law as a handy thing, in their pockets, or that it is lying around loose all over the coun try, to be picked up end used by them when ever convenient. Among the instructive inoi dents of the new “rebellion'' are the raids made from York oonnty into the neighboring State of North Carolina by Major Merrill's boras to arrest in that State, without warrant, alleged Kn-klnx who have fled into it to avoid the reign of terror near their homes. A number of such refugees were thns kidnapped in Cleve land oonnty, North Carolina, carried to York- villc, end there impnsioned. On another oc casion a gang of these lawless troopers name into the town of Shelby, the oonnty seat of Cleveland, in the night line, in such a disor derly manner that the inhabitants became panic-stricken, many fleeing into the woods in their night olotbes, and remaining there until the military rowdies left, without finding any of the parties they pretended to be in aearob of. The people of both the Carolina* are thns enjoying the blessings of an administration which gives them the “equal protection of the laws.” And yet they are not happy! Important Knllroart Movement. It ia reported on good authority that a move ment is nearly completed to result in the estab lishment of a direct line of railway communi cation from Louisville and tho Ohio river to the South Atiantio seaboard, with steam facilitiM to Europe. The Louisville and Nash- villa Company and the Nashville and Decatur Company were sometime since consolidated. The Bonth and North Road, of Alabama, baa likewise passed under (he oontrol of the same parties, giving them a direct line already from Louisville to Montgomery. They are now in treaty for a 1mm of the Montgomery and En- fanla and the Brunswick and Albany railroads, which will give them a direct and commons line of railway communication to Savannah and Brunswick by far the shortest and easiest of from all the interior town* to tho seaboard. The leasee* have abundant means to build whatever portion of the connection that ia in complete to make their combination one of the most powerful and remunerative railway enter prises in the oonntry. The leading spirits in the enterprise are men controlling vast capital, and of wide experience in similar undertakings. The combination will control, on it* comple tion, more than one tnonsand miles of railway, a power sufficient to wield important influence in the material progress of the Sooth. The above information, whieh we cut from the AtlanU Constitution, came in briefer shape by the telegrams in our last edition. We hope daw* 4 Co. may redeem their fortunes by une snch project. Tease You.—The Democrats of Georgia ought to b* under great obligations to the At lanU Era of yesterday, for ita great liberality in the matter of advice. Speaking of the election bill, it says: And now that the bill haa passed—unconsti- tntional and impolitic as we still believe it to be—it is for the present law, and must be obeyed until set aside by a competent tribunal. There remains but one way, outside the law courts, to prevent the mischiefs which are ap prehended from it The State Democratic Con vention, which assembles here in a few days to nominate a candidate for Governor, can decide to make no nomination and hold no election. The act as passed is not mandatory, bnt per missive; and hence the issue still rest* for set tlement abort of tedious and expensive litiga- Could anything be more generous ? We are glad to see, however, that the Era has backed down from Ua position of advocating open re bellion against the will of the people in the event—now one of the certainties—that they elected and inaugurated their oandidato far Governor, as witness the following from the same article: Should, however, a nomination be made, and the forme of an election cone thronch with. then w. joi „ th0 TgHZESSZS'Z me nope that it wilt become a judicial question And when the final do- wT. “*• then *>ththe Constitutions list we Sca;r “ d Till: GEORGIA I’Hl.VN A drove of tnrkeys for sale on the public square, made the mouth of the inipecnnious Gainesnlliana water, last Tuesday. Victor Smith, of Gainesville, was run over by a loaded wagon last Thnrrdty, and bis right thigh broken in two placea. The Gainesville Eagle learn* that a cumber of citizens of Union county hare been arrested within the last week, for illicit distilling. The Eagle say*: llrrcaxnco.—Within the last two week* sev eral families that moved from oar county one and two yearn ago—some to Miemmippi, and other* to Arkansas and Texas—have returned to their old homes, and express themselves as fally satisfied with the West.

The Houston Democrats have chosen Messrs. C. C. Dnncan, C. D. Anderson, and J. W. Mathews aa delegates to the State Convention. The AHmny News says it ia rumored that our distinguished townsman, Judge It. F. Lyon, contemplate* moving to Albany. We hope not. Macon don't like to part with such citizens. The News reports ripe strawberries grown in the open air, mosquitoes, and peach blossoms as among the luxuries of the past week down there. We gness yesterday morning flattened them out, though. A negro on tho Lawton place in Dougherty county shot and killed another last Tuesday. The Albany New* “learn* verbally that argu ment waa heard in Brunswick, on Wedneaday, by Judge Sessions, on the liability of the Road and rolling stock of the Brunswick and Allmny Railroad to contractors and lalmrers for debts due.

We quote these items from the Houston Home Jonrnal, of Friday: Good News.—We learn that Mr. Powers, SuDarinlendent of tho Southwestern Railroad, has secured the right of way for “onr railroad,” exoept in one or two instances. These will be arbitrated as early aa possible. Two negroes were playing with s pistol at the Lamar place, near Perry, last Sunday, and one of them waa killed. Mns. Mar, r S. Culler, wife of Dr. P. B. D. II. Cnller, died at the residence of bar son-in- law, Major J. B. Cobb, in Maoon, last Momlsy morning. She was a daughter of the lata Hon. Howell Cobb, of this county, and waa 48 years of age. She had been confined to her bed for more than a year, and several months ago was induced to go into North Georgia in the hope that her health wonid be improved. Tba change proved of no benefit, and she returned to Macon to linger a while and then pass away. She wa* a member of the Methodist church, and a most devoted Christian. It ia no exaggeration to say that a more estimable woman, or one more use- ful in her sphere, never lived. The community suffers in her death, and every member of it hag lost a valued friend. Her remains were brought to Perry for interment Tuesday evening. The Savannah Fair receipts, np to Friday last, amounted to $8,960 55. The largest amount received any one day waa $2,301. Two Savannah baker* named Smith and Far- ley had a terrible fight on Thursday, during which the latter ent Smith with a razor in 21 places. His recovery ia doubtful. Rome had a jolly good enow, Thursday, and Atlanta a feeble imitation thereof, on Friday. Newnan rejoices in the possession of a double- beaded and four-eyed snake. The same town as we now learn for the first time, exempts the property of all her officials from taxation. And to cap this climax of wonders, the Herald says There ia in Newnan, a gentleman aged 43 years, who is now and haa been for a long time engaged in active business, who never signed a note either aa principal, security or endorser, never bought anything on a credit, never bor rowed a cent in hi* life, never lost bnt ten dol lar* of loaned money, never expects to lose any more, nor asked any one to change a bill for him since the close of the war, although com palled to change many daily for bis customer*. A man named Williams ont a man named Cul ver, ao severely last Saturday as to cause his death in a short time. The parties live near the line of Upson and Taylor counties. Jas.

The last Madison Appeal talks sense in the following paragraph We may think aa wa may, bnt tho bane of this country today is the unreliability of our labor.

Mr. Johnson, of Clay, moved to reconsider the Ions of a bill to make penal the breaoh of oontraeta by laborer or employe. Mr. Johnson said it was a bill of vital impor tance. It would give the farmer a reliable sys tem of labor. It will only affect the evil doer. Ignorant minds do not recognfze the moral ob ligation of a contract, and the law must make them do it.
