Telegraph Messenger SATURDAY MOHNfHO. DEO, a. 187). DEMOCRATIC TICKET FOR GOVERNOR. Hon. JAS. M. SMITH, or MTSCOOES. ▼ I ELECTION, TUESDAY^ DECEUUEU I'.'TIL Tlir ICndlrnlH »nd ttic Cinbrrnnlorlul Election. The to-celled Republican put; la in the peine of incubation upon tbie special Gubernatorial election. At flrmt, the ootmnon idee wee to etiffen their backs npon the ebenrd poeition of Acting Governor Conley, end, refoetng to go into the election, etako their fortunes on the bayonet policy and the interference of the Orent administration, to eet atide the election and maintain Conley in the Executive Chair in aplte of the epoeial election. Bat the mote they reflected on the lew and the facte in the caee, the more donbtfnl did tfab policy appear; and moreover, it b nnderetood that advioee from Washington by no meana favor the idea that the edminietration will interfere to aet aside the Conatitntion of the State in order to maintain tho Conley usurpation. On the contrary, tome- thing more than rumor aaya that a conaoltation with one of the Waahington oraclca brought reaponae neither uncertain nor complimentary telling them “not to make damn fools of them aelvea by the ground!eca anticipation that Grant wonld interfere to defeat the right of the peo ple to elect their own Governor." It would do no tnich thing; end what they ought to do, at once, waa to put np a candidate and mako the beat light they could, no matter what might be the bene. If they etood ont and refused to nominate, the Democrat* would not only vote their own men bnt a good many of the “colored Jlcpoblicana" beside; and when the latter once got into the way of voting with the Democrats it wonld be bard to get them out of it. The time had come when tho Georgia Republicans must either Sgbt their own battlca or give up the gun. O n jreaaional and Execntiva inter- ferenre to keep them atop in defianco of the ballot, waa getting too dangerous and moat lie abandoned. Inspired by tbeae outgivings and admoni tions the leading Kadieab of tbe Slate have l>ecn active, within tbo last few days, in get ting up a ticket. Yeaterday it waa confidently asserted that they bad agroed npon Benjamin II. Iligliamyof Troop, and be ia a pretty good nominee as thing* go with them. Whatever they do, they must dofjnickiy. The scheme to prevent an election aliko authorised by tbe Conatilntion, tbe law and tbo public necessities, 1a so barefaced a piece of nsnrpation that it will take on more odious features every day. The l’rinre or IVsIra, By acoounb received yeaterday morning, was either dying or deed. The report of bis death waa torrent in London, bnt ita authenticity was challenged. It appeua probable, from tbe dis patches, that bis case bad at least assumed hopelose aspect. Those reports created im mense excitement in London, and brought bnai ness transaction* to a bait. To comprehend tbo cause of pnblio uneasiness, wo liavo only to ro- member that, in evont of tbe Prince's death, tbe lineal aocctasor to tho British throne ia hia oldest son, now an infant of seven or eight years of age; and, a* Queen Victoria appears to be in failing health, not improbably a regency of twelve or thirteen yearn wonld become eosaury. A regency is proverbially a political cripple. It oannot claim the strong support of persona! attachment aud allegianco. It baa all the dif ference of personal attention and authority, and management undor power of attorney, and this change will occur at a tinto whan popular dissatisfaction and tbo spirit of revolution are beoomlng every day more rampant and un manageable, and are finding leaders even among the British aristocracy. Under Ibeao oironiu- atanoaa, tbe death of Ibe I'rinoo of Wales, although at the very best a dull and lazy bon vita nt, ia oonaidered an event seriously weak ening tbo British monarchy, at a timo likely to call tbe londeat for a atroug, active and popular administration governing in ita own right. The I.itti.e IItexa In Bad Opob.—Tbe Her ald's special Washington correspondent, under date of Monday, writes as follows: The rumors that have recently been circula ting as to a personal disagreement in tbe Cabi net, have Anally settled Upon At^taney General Akerman aa tbo offensive Minister. It ia charged that tbe pnsvnt bead of the Judicial Depart ment is quite self-opinionated, tenacious of bia own views, and rathor dlsagreeablo in consider ing those of others. Such traits have made him ao nnoomfortable a colleague that bia room ia considered more prrferablo than hia oompa ny. The special impulse to this expected change ia, bowtver, degiared to be a distinct difference of opinion on' the KtvKIux poliqy, Mr. Akerman designing that it shall be mode more offensive than at present, an opinion with wbloh the President does not aeeiu to agree. Who Mr. Akerman's ancceasor ia to be ia not known, and the change will not be made till af ter the first report of the Department of Jnatioe ia sent to Congress.

I James Connelly, whilo nnder the influence of what Mr. Richard BwiTeller to elegantly tor: (.1 “the rosy,” fell into the river at Savan nah, on Wednesday, and had a very narrow aqoeak for hia life.

The Savannah News of Thursday aaya: Dnunraocs Faun—On Monday night, tbe residence of Mr. George Wright, in Screven oonnty, near tbe old Hunter Mills, was des troyed by fire. Tbe family—consisting of three adults and six children, from two to fifteen years of age—were at anpper when the flame* were discovered in the upper story, end in leas than thirty minutes, the dwelling, smoke-house, kitchen, fenoes, and in fact everything within an area of two hundred yards, were enveloped by the fire and totally destroyed. The alarm waa no Midden and tbe spread of the flames oo rapid that nothing at ail was saved from tbe conflagration. Furniture, beds, provisions— all were consumed—together srith about four hales of unpacked cotton in one of tbe npper rooms of the house. Mr. Wright wee just re covering from the disastrous effect of Sher man's raid, and his home had been resurrected from the ashes of that direful time. Tbe dwelling was a large, new two-story building, containing eight rooms. Mr. Wright and bis family are now utterly destitute, and are suf fering for tbe commonest necessities of life. They are living at present in a small negro cabin twenty feet square. Tbe municipal election at Auguste, Wednesday, resulted in tbe re-election of Mayor Ester, and tbe choice of the following Aider- men : Messrs.

Tbe Colnmbns Son has this very important item for those who are particular as to tbe qnality of their whisky. And it isn't every man who comes nnder tbat bead, either.

Aa he ponred out tbe whisky be held tbe glass between himself and tbe light. We beard bim remark: “I always look at my whisky to see whether it bears the true bead. Alcohol and low wince carry no bead. Pot aomo alkali in them and yon can have whatever you want, because a drop or two of extract will prodnoe cognac, brandy, gin, wbiaky, Madeira wine, or what not. There ia a bead which cannot be coun terfeited. Itawima half above and half nnder the level. It canqot be produced by artificial means. If any chemist should manage to do it bia fortune wonld be secured. Old Sam Pike, himself, wonld give a million forthediaoovery.” The Tbomasvilla Enterprise rates tbe Legis lature pretty sharply on account of its seven dollar per diem and extravagant mileage.

The Demoeratio aeaaionof 1871 baa seven clerks for forty days at $7 per diem, making an aggregate of $2,800 for clerk hire.

Twenty-one prisoners, charged with being Ku-klnx, were arraigned before a Federal Com missioner, at Atlanta, on Thursday. Four gave bond, and tbe remainder went to jail. They are said to be from Dade and Walker counties. We find this statement in the Atlanta Sun, of yesterday: Trial or Rxv. J. L. Pierce.—'Ihe pnblio probably bears in mind tbe grass scandal that some months ago waa circulated through the papers, with which tbe names of Rev. J. L. and a lady from Oartersville were unenviably connected. The soon dal was so great, and bore •o heavily upon not only the ministerial, but the morel character of Mr. Pierce, that it be came neoeaeary for the Conference, to which he milled to the Senate, belonged, to give tbe matter a most inquisitorial examination. When Conference met in Athene but week one of tbe first acts of the body was to raise committee for the investigation of the matter. The committee ares composed of the following ministers : Arminius Wright, chairman; II. H. Parka, L. J. Davies, F. A. Kimball, A. G. Hay- good, A. JL Thigpen, G. Y. Smith, J. H. Gro gan, J. M. Dickey, M. Calloway. D. J. Mvrick, yew 101, nays 44. J. Lewis, Jr., P. A. Heard, W. P. Fort. Before this tribunal the Rev. J. L. Pierce was brought for an examination of the chargee ago! not him. Hia trial occupied five entire days— three sittings of the committee being held each day. Tbe testimony was taken in writing, and covered SO) pages of cap paper. Every witness was subjected to the most thorough and rigid examination. Witnesses pro and eon were ex amined with like rigor. There was no partiali ty—oo discrimination—no favors shown, bnt an obvious determination to arrive at tbe exact truth in tbe What points were divulged by the testimony it is net neoeaeary to state. It is aufficient for tbe publio to know that afters moat patient and exhaustive hearing, tbo judgment of the com mittee was that Mr. Pierce was not guilty of tbe charge* that bad been made against him. Tbe husband of the lady involved, who area present during the examination, at ita close said Mr. Pierce bad bad a fair and impartial trial.

There is NEW ADVERTISEMENTS The Tribune on Grant's Last “Job.” We arc greatly gratified to find in tho New York Tribune, of Tuesday, the following plain language concerning that gigontio “job” of tbe government’s buying all the telegraphic lines of the country, recommended to Congress by Grant in bis last messago. But if Grant is to have his “rake” when the thing is legalized, wo fear brother Greeley is wasting his breath in remonstrating. Tell ns how mnch tho present- taker ia to profit by it, and we can give a toler ably accurate guess of its prospects for consum mation. Says the Tribune: Then as to “uniting tho Telegraphic system “of the United States with the Postal system,” can the President be unaware that this means bujring out tho present stockholders in tele graphs at treble the cost of constructing the existing lines, and thus enriching a small number at tbe expense of the great body of their fellow-citizens ? He ought to know this; for we have warned him of it personally, a year ago, and then advised him tbat the People would not stand it. Mr. President! be entreated to get out of this job and keep out! It ia certain to damage you if you do not; for there will be a revolting odor generated by ita consummation. Thirty millions are to be taken ont of the Treasury by it to pay for property tbat never cost ten millions; and not one dollar of that thirty millions will ever come back again. Indeed, yon tell us that the pro posed system would “secure the furthor advan tage of extending the telegraph through por tions of tho country where private enterprise will not construct it.” Not a donbt of it! Only throw the co3t of extending and maintaining tho telegraph on those who don’t use it, and we can have poles and wires, offices and bat teries, superintendents and operators; where there is no business, and probably never will be. Bat, until the ]x»t-office is made to pay ita own way, we insist that it shall let the tele graph alone. Nor will Congress vote otherwise, unless the members are plied with other than legitimate inducements to go wrong. Clift to tee Rescue !—This whiffling little carpet-bagger, who was once counted in as a Representative in Congress from the Savannah District, has issued a flaming pronunci&mento to the “Republicans of Georgia,” which the Savannah Advertiser prints in fnlL He writes from Washington City and is full of fight, the whisky there being very strong. We give some extracts to show how heavily loaded Clift must have been. He says: “I never did, and do not now, believe in shirking a fight with Democracy nnder any pre text however specious, circumstances however discouraging. “Instead of giving np the fight, let it be con tinued, and give them no quarter, till the last stronghold of the greatest foe of liberty and equal rights in this country shall be carried, and they shall surrender to tho cohorts of free dom and tho civilization of the nineteenth cen tury. “If we would save our ‘Common School Sys tern’ in Georgia, and preserve the liberties of I U Handkerchief, with Gold HonctkoieLuf King the people, we must fight it out with them, if I attached, between Mrs. Truman’s, flecond street, we all go to our graves before the cause is fin- I Mr. tlunn’s resiedene, Aich street.
