f Telegraph & Messenger, TUESDAY MOKNJXO. PEC. 12, 1871. DEMOCRATIC TICKET. for omtejuok. Hon. JAS. M. SMITH, or mwook 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. Hewn Items.

Miasocu.—Governor Grata Brown’s message to the Missouri Legislature wee sent in last Thursday. It ia heavy on Grant and arraigns him for high treason to true republican prin ciples. Too Tirol.—'The New York Time* says "General Grant originally intended to redeem the Government from iu one great curse of fitting offloee with professional politicians. But unfortunately he ended the thing by filling the offloee with professional blockheads. Loumviixx. —The Courier-Journal claims that the population of Louisville baa tripled and her trade quadrupled in the last ten years, end iu respect to improvements her progress has been •till more marked. If so, Louisville is going ahead feeler than any other Amerieen city. H. I. Koisall.—The Courier-Journal says it is stated that U. L Kimball, the greet Georgia capitalist who failed, ie still in New Haven, Connecticut, quite unwell, end mneh afflicted in mind as well as in body on sooount of hie Georgia failures. Oottoji was active and firm in Liverpool yes terday, end also in Naw York, with an advance- of a quarter of • cent in the litter market. The figures telegraphed on Sunday ere very obviously iooonwct, but we print us repeated. At hat the wise scree ere beginning to inspect that the crop of 1871 ia short.

Fun aid Ashman.—'The rumor that Fish and Akaraan are going out of tho Cabinet ia again denied, end we shall not reprint it again until they go. The Badieet newspapers ap pear so anxious that these gentlemen should take leave tbit they ere bidding them good by every week; bat F. and A, are on their mettle and will take no each hints. Dsmooatio SrasNon.—The World, of Fri day, says it has taken the trouble to figure up the aggregate of votes east in the last Congres sional election and they stand as follows: Demo cratic votes cast, 2,741,860; Republicans, 2,683,. 374-showing a Democratic majority of 56,486. If that ia the way of it the Radicals have ger- rymandsred heavily. Let them keep on as they are going and in n few yean they con control affairs with no votes at alL A Niw PnocLSMATion.—The New York Even ing Pom announces by telegram from Albany that Gov. Hoffman's forthcoming message to the New York Legislature is going to formally proclaim the dissolution of the Democratic par ty. It tho Governor had kept hit part of it in bettor order, be might not hive i£n reduced to that ead necessity. Bat tat n. l, uelves. H that proclamation be made, and we do not respect It, Hoffman can’t pat as under —taw. Only Great can do that SCXATOB TkewnOLL contradicts tho report of on interview with a reporter of the Courier- Journal which we reprinted • few Osya ago from that paper. He eays be knows nothing about it end, to the bwt of hiirtooUectian, no such in terview took place. A World special on this 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. General Assembly of Georgia.
