ELECTION, TUESDAY, DECEMBER I9TIL
Terms Cash.
There U no btuineas so inexorably etah «
that of the dally newspaper. It must moot its
engagement* with cash every week. To do this
it cannot give long credit*. Onr advertisers, in
making their engagement with ns, moat remem-
ber that promptitude ia indispenslblo. An ad.
vrrtianmml ia due when it first appears; hot if
we watt npoo oar friends until the serrioe ia aU
performed, we cannot possibly wait longer ; and
as the money merely goes through onr hands
returns Immediately to the general current
of circulation, we should be deelt with all the
mote promptly. Wo era of thoae who contri
bute considerably to add to the circulating
medium—bringing it from abroad and turning
it looaa ayery day and week in llaoon, where it
immediately seeks all the channels of active
tradt.
In these tight times let everybody be as
prompt with everybody ss possible, and great
relief will be experienced. The same dollar
will fly rapidly from band to hand and be made
to do double or Ibribble service. On the other
hand, n bard grip on the dollar, will vastly
increase the general stringency. We ask our
city patrons expt dally, not to keep our oolleo-
tor running and dunning on past due bill*.
Pay them and the money will lie beck in their
drawers again before night.
The Hew Apportionment Itlll.
The House of Representatives has under con
sideration a bill Introduced at the last
to make n new apportionment of membership
to that body. It will-probably past. The bill
proposes that the next House shall consist cf
two hundred and eighiy-one members, indud
ing four Uopreaentatives fleeted from States
having the largest fraction* -being an increase
of thirty-eight members over the present number.
Vermont and New Hampshire will lose one mem-
lier each—they have only three each now—and
Illinois gains five, the latter having reached the
dignity or being third State in the Union on the
aoore of population, ranking with Ohio. Mas
sachusetts gains one, New York one. New
Jersey two, Pennsylvania two, Maryland one,
Virginia one. North Carolina one. South Caro
lina one, Georgia Iwo, Alabama one, Missis
sippi one, Kentucky one, Tennesseo one,
Indiana one, Missouri three, Arkansas one,
Michigan three, Texts two, Iowa three, Wia-
oooain two, California one, Minnesota one,
Kansas taro. The present Houso consists of
taro hundred and forty throo members. It is
proposed that the bill, If passed, shall take
effect after the .Id of March, 1873, so that the
present regulations respecting the Presidential
Electoral Colleges will not be dietmbed next
jeer. M[
Spain Excited.
Madrid ie said to bo greatly excited over
Grant's massage, and, in oonaeqnenee, ia going
to send oaer four thousand men, two generals
and four iron elada and "maintain a firm atti*
lude.'', H that means murdering any more
fourteen year old boys, we are sorry for it
We bold it proof poaitiae that the Amoricana
are tired of fighting ns a business that these
bloody Dona were not cleared out of Cuba two
year* ago; and instead of getting into a pas
sion over Grant's message the Spaniards should
be too bappy end aalonished over the fact that
tan thousand American volunteers bavo not
backed the Cubans in their struggles to deliver
themselves from an oppressive, bigoltod end
sanguinary despotism, which is a scandal to
Christianity and eiviltsatlon.
We trust Spain will keep cool and do nothing
to provoke American interference in Cuban
matters, which will be only too ready to startup
on alight provocation.

But unfortunately he ended the thing by filling

374-showing a Democratic majority of 56,486.

A Niw PnocLSMATion.—The New York Even

point explains, that Senator Trumbull makes no
seexut of bis opposition to Grant, although be
Indite that Grant baa come to his [location upon
the questions of amnesty, and civil service and
I, venue reforms. He will take Grant as a
choice of evils between Grant and a Democrat,
but is not in favor -if Grant if a letter repub
lican can b< found.
Tire Mileage Uongr.
We can think of no more appropriate term
by which to fitly describe this business thantbe
above. It A a gouge of the mod unmitigated
description. Wo bold that the members of the
legislators ought to be ashamed of themselves
for having been guilty of it, and that theycoold
do no better or more graoefol work than to re-
oonsider the matter. To the $7 per day we
offer no very serious objection, though *6 was
enough in ail conscience, the financial condition
of the BUto being considered as it should have
been.
But on this mileage business we will not listen
to say argument, for there can be cone in its
favor worth the name. It ia nothing more nor
leas then a gouge. Three dollars for every
twenty miles travel is outrageous, and we shall
not cease to so denounce it whenever the occa
sion offers. Aetna] traveling expenses is whet
was demanded by every consideration of econo
my and justice to the people. Take the ease
of the Binb ouaty members for example
we cite their case simply because we know ex
aetly what it cools them to get to Atlanta
see bow the thing cats. The fere from llaoon
to Atlanta is $5, one meal on tho way, $■
making total expense! to Atlanta $G. Mileage
at $ 3 for every 20 miles—the distance being
oounted at 100 miles—$15, leaving a net profit
on the transaction to the member of $9. In
tho case of the members from Richmond oounty
the objectionable feature of this basin
possibly more apparent. The distance from
Augusta to Atlanta ia 171 miles, which would
make $25 50 mileage. The fere is $9—we be
lieve—possibly leas, end only one meal la taken
on the road, ooat of which added to the railway
fare makes $10 as total expenses of reaching
Atlanta. Deduct $10 from $25 50 and we have
in going and returning thirty-one dollars as the
amount made on mileage by each member.
We submit that Ibis money, or the greater pert
of it, ought to remain in the treasury for the
benefit of the people, generally.
But most or very many, at least, of the mem
bets of the Legislature pay no railway fere at
all. Railroad companies ere very liberal these
days in the matter of free passes, and the hon
orable gentlemen’s expenses on that account
are very light. Suppose the member from Bibb
or the member from Richmond has a free pass,
and, therefore, pays no railway faro ? Then you
see hie $3 for every twenty miles travel be-
oomes e very ooetly fiction—the biggest sort of
a quid without hardly the gboat of • quo.
We don't like this business at ell, and there
fore, we speak plainly concerning it. It is
wrong in all its bearing and from overy stand,
point, and should bo righted as speedily as
possible. Let mileage mean actual traveling
expenses, and that too by the nearest route,
That ie fair, liberal and jest, and especially be-
ootuea lbs servants of a people so poor as ours.
It may be shockingly unparliamentary, but wo
rnovo a reconsideration of the question and if
R is possible, to pen the numerous dodgers,
votes of this sort generally de relop, wo eRpe
cislly desire s record of the yeas and nnye on
the proposition.
The 1’rolongctl Session.
| We aro sorry to see the following evidence
of mischievions purpose on the part of Acting
Gov. Conley in the Atlanta Constitution of Sun
day. ]
Both branches of the Legislature yesterday
passed resolutions by thu requisite two-thirds
vote to prolong the Constitutional session of
forty days nntil next Satnrday. A committee
was appointed to notify the acting Governor,
who responded that he should not recognize the
Legislature after twelve o'clock Saturday night,
when the forty days term expired.
This act of the Aoting Executive is in nnison
with his predetermined and captious programme
of making a fuss with the Assembly on all pos
sible occasions to soenro himself in power.
IIo relies on hia disapproval of the act of
prolonging the term to defeat it, when hia
approval is not necessary.
Paragraph 3, section I of article 3 of the Con-
ati'ntion is as follows:
"No session of the Goners] Assembly, after
the socond under this Constitution, shall con
tinue longer than forty days, unless prolonged
by a vote of two-thirda of each branch thereof.”
Each branch of this Legislature has prolonged
tbo session by a two-thirds vote.
Paragraph 8, section 2, article I of the Con
stitution reads thus:
"Every voto, resolution or order, to whioh
the concurrence of both houses may bo necessary
exoept on a question of election or adjournment,
shall tie presented to the Governor, and before
it shall take effect be approved by him, or, being
disapproved, shall be repessed by two-thirds of
each house, according to the rules and limita
tions prescribed in case of a bill."
This shows that on questions of adjournment
the Exeontive sanction is not needed, even if
a joint resolution was required to hold over the
time.
No other but a Radical would bavo tbo au
dacity to run in this matter in the teeth of the
example set by the last Legislature, of which
Mr. Cooley was one of the presiding officers.
That body prolonged with a vengeance, and
Mr. Conley did not think it wrong then to teko
pert in several sessions, some or them ninety
days long. But now, when a few days more are
needed to perfeot work of legislation, Mr. Con
ley becomes virtuons and economical.
Hia action is partisan, captious, ill-timed,
bad-tempered, injurious and revolutionary.
We learn that Mr. Conley was much exeited
when the committee reported to him. The
Sonata resolution was not quite ready when the
committee palled, and Captain Atkinson, the
Secretary of the Executive Department, refused
to receive it, and Conley’s door was fonud lock
ed, and admission refused.
Whether this was to raise a quibble about re-
oeiWng tbo resolution of both houses ia not
known, but it is significant, as showing Conley's
desperate purpose to thwart the popular will,
impede the legislation, end, if possible, throw
odium on the Democrats.
It is a nice question what the Legislature
should do. If Conley refuses to act, it is a prac
tical abdication of the offioe. The aoting Elec
tive cannot atop the government running its ma
chinery. If Conley abdicates, President Tram
mell becomes the acting Executive.
The situation is extraordinary and complica
ted, and Conley ia revolutionary.
Tin* Ca.se Fully Stated.
Wo fiad the following unanswerable summing
np of the arguments why the Federal Govern
ment should not control the telegraph linee of
the country, in the New York Tribune of Fri
day:
It would make him (the President) muter
of the prase of tbo country, for the press de
pends upon the telegraph for its news. It
would enable him, if he were unscrupulous, to
give to the news of the day, such a color u he
chose, and thus fatally to pollute the very
fountain head of publio opinion. He oould
oanas his agents to suppress intelligence abso
lutely ncoessary to enable the people to form a
safe and enlightened judgment on affaire of the
utmost importance. In short, if tho President
were a bad and ambitious man, the control of
the telegraph would enable him to paralyze
public opinion in this country, st a vital mo
ment, as completely as it was ever paralyzed by
Napoleon III- in France. The strongest and
most conclusive reasons, then, why this project
to sell the telegraph to the Government onght
to fail, are that ft wonld dangerously increase
the great powers of the President; because it
would pot it in the power of a bold, bed man
to usurp supreme authority; because it wonld
inevitably lead to a tampering with the news
of the day, for partisan purposes; because, by
muddling, paralyzing, and corrupting the
grounds of publio opinion, it would gravely
dAOgoF otxr liberties.
Att of which thing! it ia safe to say Grant
wonld sorely do, if in hie power, and he saw
any profit to his puree or addition to his already
frghtful power, in the doing thereof.
Thb Ixtbbxaxioxals started ont to bavo a
grand demonstration in New York last Sunday,
which was very properly prohibited by the po
lice, whereupon they set to work sedulooily
making dispositions for • riot, and have deter
mined upon a big demonstration next Sunday,
whether or no. Unfortunately, there are quite
too many people in this world who ere deter
mined to live on the labors of others, and of
this cla« the Internationale are the worst, be
cause they go in fora forcible division and then
for burning oat the betasee. Free labor end
very little of it—down with the rich and let no
body he poor—plenty to eat and nothing to pay—
1st the government support the people end down
with taxation—ail capital ia robbery and let the
people have plenty of money—theee are the
fundamental dogmas of the petroliaU. And
they feed the ardent fires of their patriotism
with kerosene. That party may one of these
days get to be as bad as the Radicals.
A Obktubia, S. C., dispatch to the Cberlee-
ioa News, of Saturday, says; “In tho House,
*a-dey, O. O. Bowen presented his credential*
as a representative from tho county of Charles
ton. Hi* right to a seat vraa contested on the
grounds of irregularity in imuing the writ for
the election, and l>ecauae he had been oonvicted
of an infamous enme. He was finally admitted
by a vote of 7* to 22. Bowen then made a
speech, charging the administration with steal
ing seven million dollars, and promising to hold
then- to the strictest soccnntability.” Cool.
