TIio Election*.
The election new* comes in very slowly
not enough inb-r.wt Wing felt in them,
*f»l*rvntly, to forwanl returns. Penn
sylvania has elerted Gordon, the Uepubli-
.an candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court. l»y righteen thousand majority.
Is Iowa there luts boon a small reduction
of the Republican majority, and tlie oppo
sition are said to have a majority in the
ll.Miso. In Ohio the Democrat* are re
ported to have recovered a majority in the
legislature, and Allen’s election is do*
«Ur.il to lie highly probablo. Allen is
the Deuaicratie candidate for Governor.
In California the Independents havo car
ried the day. In Oregon the Democrat*
have elected Nesmith to Congress by a
majority of 2.500. which is a heavy gai.i
on the last election. We must wait for
more reliable reports.
I'kotrctivk cooperation has assumed
s new form, which the Boston Courier

protector*,* the latter having become
either Imiikrupts or defaulters, and hav
ing also neglected to pay for tho jewelry
with which they won the hearts of the
fair devotees of Thalia. In consequnce
of the frequency of this contretemps the
ladies of tlie profession have unanimously
agreed to accept no gifts from their
adorers unless they are accompanied by
receipted bills.**

would make no great difference bat how
it would bring about a “resumption of
specie payments * is not s<» cl**ar to our
mind. In point of fact, however, it is
just as clear as that a people are in a
favorable condition to resume specie pay
ments, because they find themselves un
able to respond in paper. It la true, we
may show our good will to resume with
less coit than we could when we had the
paper to bock our engagements.
We all recollect the case of the Bo; Io
nian. who left all his relatives a million
apiece, out of a bankrupt estate. It co t
nothing, he said, and was generous. So
when we resolve to resume specie pay
ments with little or no specie in haud.
and ko small n supply of pup«-r that we
have refused to part with it to creditors,
it is equally cheap and generous to t.
about specie restunptioii. The logic «»f

them any the less solemn and argument

The Democratic 44 Corpse **
Kicking: A^nin.
It soems that tins “corpse” is on tlie
r.unpu'f in Ohio and Oregon. It hai
dually come to life in both those States,
ter having been buried and its funeral
preached by the trooly loyl party. lu
Oregon, where Grant had over 3,502 ma
jority last November, Nesmyth, Demo
crat, for Congress has 2,500 majority, *
gain in just eleven mouths of 6,000 votes.
In Ohio, which gave Grant 35,367 major
ity last November, the Democrats hav »
carried the Legislature - which secure i
the re-olection of Hon. A. G. Thurman,
ns United States Senator—and the latest
report is tliat Allen (Doin.J is elected
Governor over Noyes, Radical, and pres-
nt incumbent, who defeated McCook
f Do in.) two years ago by 27,036 vote .
If those on* not two very rospectoblM
kicks for a “corpse” we are no judges of
that style of performance.
There is one very significant feature,
too, of the Ohio kick: Allen ran os a
Democrat pure and simple, on a Demo
cratic platform, and tho convention tliat
nominated him rejected all “entangling
alliances.” Tnoy took warning by the
lesson taught in the President iol election,
and made a square, stand-up fight on
eir own ground, with their own weapom\
and untler a banner that bore no strange
ilevices. It was a fight of Democracy
against Radicalism—the party of th s
Constitution against the enenfles thereof
—of honest men who neither desired to
cheat nor be cheated, against the reckles;
plunderers who have well nigh ruined
the country. Viewed in this light their
victory has unusual significance.
Another fact in connection with thii
contest may be ment .onod. Mr. Allen ii
the uncle of Senator Thurman, and made
the race with a two-fold incentive: To
defeat Radicalism and secure a triumph
for a man, not only to whom he is !«ound
by tie* of blood and strong affection, but
who is also one of the truest and oldest,
men that ever sat in the United States
Senate.
Stand up to Contracts!
This is the true policy of men and
communities at all times and under :Ul
circumstance*. Cramps and stringencies
are powerless to indict permanent injury
on any intelligent and industrious peo
ple. so long as they maintain their usual
moral manhood. But if this be compro
mised or lost under the suggestions of
alleged necessity, the loss becomes almost
irretrievable, for nothing is so valuable
in any point of view as personal integrity.
No man or community is poor so long os
they can be trusted, and none can be
called rich who ore known to bo faithless
:u:d dishonest.
Therefore, let the first purpose of every
man be to discharge his obligations to the
letter, if possible,* and if he cannot do
that, to come as near it as he can. Tight
times are sent to tent men—to show them
selves and to show others what they are
mode of. and give them the chance to
win an honorable and valuable character,
by standing upon their integrity amid
temptation to swerve from it.
We sa£ therefore, to all. when sugges
tions are off red to you, (we care not from
what source) to evade this, that or the
other obligation - when you are told that
the peculiar circumstances justify this or
that piece of crooked diplomacy—that it
is no worse in yon to suspenj than it was
in the Kink etc., etc., *h: n these sug
gestions of sstau and stand on your man
hood.
We hold the example of the banks in
this so-called panic as most scandnlons
pernicious and demoralizing ; but no two
wrongs ever inode a right, and there must
be some end of shuffling, or there will be
no beginning of public or private confi
dence ami honor. One of the absurdest
things in the world is to bear the New
York bankers talk about “restoring public
confidence.” and saving the country by
refusing to surrender the money of their
depo*.turs !

Seriously Injured.-One of the xuo.-t
terrific and frightful accidents that has
iiappened in this part of the country for
a long time occurred late List Monday
evening on the J.. P. and M. railroad.
The boiler of tlie locomotive Stonewall,
while standing at Ellaville. exploded, in
stantly killing the engineer. Mr. diaries
Wiley, an Englishman, and it is thought
dangerously wounding the fireman and a
wood passer. So great was tho explosion
that t le body of the engineer was thrown
fully fifteen feet from the engine and the
head of tiie unfortunate man was com
pletely blown off and thrown about the
same distance from the body. The
Stonewall, we are informed, was quite on
old engine, and was used in propelling
the lumber trains of Messrs. Drew A.
Buckie, extensive lumber men of that
locality. The tracks in the vicinity of
the exploded engine was terribly torn up.

The Great Southern Railroad Com
pany.—Under this head the Savannah
News of Wednesday says:
The agent of the Georgia branch of the
Great Southern Railroad Company re
cently passed through llinesville. Liberty
county, and had the usual mortgages re
corded in the counties through which th«»
proposed road will run. The Hinesvill-*
Gazette gathers the following interesting
information in reference to the enterprise:
“The company is couijx>sed entirely of
Northern men. Ohm.Oslorne.of New York
being the President. To obtain the nec
cswary funds, money to th
amount of
four millions has been borrowed, for the
security of which mortgages have been
given ou the entire road, with all its stock,
etc. Tho road is to start from Milieu.
No. 79. Central rail read, and run in an air
line to Jesup. and from thence to Jack
sonville. Florida. It wdl pass through
th* following counties in Georgia: Burke,
Bullock. Tattnall. Liberty, Appling,
Wayne, Charlton and Camden. The point
at whirii it is to cross the Altamaha will
be a start distance above Doetortown, but
below the mouth of Beard’* creek.
We have no earthly objection to
“Northern men” building this and half a
dozen other railroads in Georgia, with
their own money, but the procpect of
getting any State bond help for years to
come is “mortal dim.” If there is any
one thing deader than another in Geor
gia, it is State aid to railroads.
Low Water in the Savannah River.—
The Chronicle and Sentinel says the
water in the Savannah river is so low,
that the boats are not now able to reach
the city. “The Rosa was obliged last
Friday to unload her cargo about one
mile from the city, and start on h<5r re
turn trip to Savannah from that point.
The Katie unloaded her cargo, consisting
of cotton, stores and other articles, on the
Carolina side, about two miles below Sand
Bar Ferry, Monday, about twelve o’clock.
The cargoes of both boats were brought
to Augusta on pole boats. The Clyde got
aground yesterday on a bar abont eleven
miles below the city, and at last accounts
had not succeeded in getting off. The
river be waded across at almost any
point at this time, and unless we have a
rain soon it sooms probable that the boat
ing business will have to be temp irarily
suspended.”

Memphis will attc*t tae fact. I would
most respectfully suggest and recom
mend that at least another sister should
be employed with a suitable salary such
as is given to other teachers employed
by the Board. The reason for such a
recommendation'are many—suffice it to
mention that Catholic parents will not
send their children to any other schools
xcept such as are taught by Cath
olic teachers, and, in ny opinion,
PARENTAL CARE SHOULD NOT BE INTER
FERED WITH.
Moreover, most of them ore tar-payers
and- some of them the heaviest tux-payer*
in the city. Why should we show our-*
selves more prejudiced than the Board of
Savannah where tho Catholic schools are
under their supervision and the teacher
are paid by the Board ?
The schools taught by tho Sisters at
"resent, contain thirty-five children under
Sister A igela who is paid by the Board,
and they have twenty-six girls and thirty-
seven boys, beside*, coming to them who
do not pay them anything and mostly
from the 2d and 3d wards.
Knowing well the noble minds and
generous heart* that compose our Board.
I trust they will assist them in their work
of beuevolcncc and charity, and appoint
one or two more of the Sisters as teach
ers, under their direction, and that a
speedy arrangement may also be made
for the education of the large number of
other children in the second and third
wards of tho city. All of which is re
spectfully submitted.

Macon during the Fair week, say on
Thursday, October 30, for the purpose of
forming on association of all the veterans
•of the Mexican war now residing in
Georgia; and preparatory for organ

Washington City, on 15th of January
next. All the survivors of the Mex

unteers, are requested to meet, in person
or by letter, addressed to the “Chairman
of the Veterans of Mexican War,” giving
their present residence and in what ser

tlie Mexican war. The hour and plao*
of meeting will be designated in the Ma
con papers daring the Fair.
Other States have held, or will hold
their re-unions and form associations of

We hope to do the same at Macon during

The object of the national convention
is to prepare a joint memorial to Congress
for a pension to the »urviv*rs of the Mex
ican war. Also to adopt measures look
ing to a national brotherhood of the sur
vivor?.
It is very desirable to ascertain how
many are now living, and it is most earn
estly desired that all who were in the
Mexican service, will report their present*
residence aud also the service in which
th«3r were engaged. After the meeting
on the 30th, the secretary will be known,
and until then they can address the Chair
man of Mexican War Veterans, Macon.
Georgia.
As I do not know where to find the
veterans, will you please editorially re
quest the presence of them on the 30th ?
By so doing you will greatly oblige the
Mexican war veterans and your most
obedient servant,

been a sudden and very great contraction
in the building of railroads, while the
business of running the roods already
constructed has been greatly curtailed,
and the number of employes reduced
all round. So far the trouble resulting
from the finanaal disturb race up;tears
to fall more heavily upon this branch of
industry than any other. T ie-N«j * York
Bulletin estimates that not less tnn sixty
tfcOflJttkl okill*d mechanic i an-1 laborers
will be thrown out of situation* before
winter fairly »et* in. making w.th the.r
dependents not less than three nundre 1
thousand people who will enter upon thi*
inclement season without the employment
they relied upon to furnish to t hem tlie
means of subsistence. It is not past hope
that a reaction will take place yet, so a*
to restore work and bread to the indus
trious laborers, but it is beyond question
that great hardship will result from the
financial disturbance, whatever may l*e
the exthnt of the reaction. The great
wealth of the harvest will probably mate
rially lessen the distress, but it is evident
that the day of extremity will be only post
poned, unless the people seethe cause that
makes the rich richer and the poor more
wretched, aud destroy not only the infa
mous high tariffjaws, but the banking
laws which enable a few gamblers in their
desperation to paralyse the banking in
stitutions of tlie whole country, and witli
them the trade and commerce of a great
people. The people who suffer mo<t by
just such a crisis as we are passing
through now, hold the remedy witliin
their power, if they will only exercise it
by voting for and electing the right sort
of men to Congress, tat us get men into
Congress who cannot be bought by tho
Monopolists, and we will then stand
chance of getting our wrongs righted, aiqj
our people would then become prosperous
and happy. The lesson which this crisis
L-aches the people of the whcle country
should not be lost, an 1 it will not be if the
honest men combine to make it effective.
ANNEXATION.
llecchcr’s Admiration for the
Scriptural Dcail-Bcat.
[Mrs. liumliaiu in the St.LmU R>-|iulilinm.]
If it were allowed me by some power
ful fairy to escape the troubles and petti
coats that encompass me round about
and elect for myself to become for a year
and a day some man of my acquaintance,
then for three hundred and sixty-six day*
would I occupy the pantaloon*, pulpit
and perquisites of Henry Ward Reecher.
He lias altogether the best thing of
any mail in these United States. If he
were a woman now he would be wiped
out of all shape by the late lick* put in
by malice and jealousy. Being a man his
popularity is greatly increased thereby,
and liis return la*t Sun lay to Plymouth
church was an ovation. Friday night I
saw an audience of 63 in the Broadway
theater. Saturday nigut 23 persons oc
cupied the lower part of the Grand Opera
house, but Sunday night 3,000 people
waited the rise of the curtain at Ply
mouth Academy. Up the crowded aisle.*,
attended by a flutter of ribbons and fan \
and all the intere*ted rustle indicating
the entrance of a bridal party, walked the
rosy, rotund parson. The rostrum of the
church i* rare and broad. Lots of room
for acting. Mr. Beecher sang heartily
with his immense congreg tion, and then
rising, came up smiling, and as usual
stopped with one leg ever so much ahead
of the other, fhi* actually was putting
his best foot foremost, and began a dis
course upon the parable of the Prodigal
Son.
Now,” said Mr. Beecher, “I’d rather
of the two boys have been the prodigal.
The other son was a miserable creature.
There was a good deal to admire in the
prodigal. He went off to have a good
time, and he had it, aud got through with
it. He reached the ground and made a
rebound. He did not say when in his
trouble. *1*11 go to my father and state
rircumstanevt..* He called his per
formance- sin?, and he we at and confessed
’em, aud was joyfully forgiven.** And
here Mr. Beecher clasped his hands and
raised his eye*, and said in a very beau
tiful way, “Our Father in Heaven, art
Thou meaner than the fathers of earth.”
Tnen, in referring to t ie other brother,
he described him a* hearing the singing
and dancing and refusing to go inside,
being “too stingy to get drunk; too cau
tious, too cold, too un*ympathetic to sin
lasciviously. He was mean, stiff and
proper, and was going to Heaven as a
mummy,” and Mr. Beecher made himself
as much like a mummy and walked as
stiff as a ramrod across the stage on his
road to Heaven, in the style of the prodi
gal’s brother.
The assembled three thoimnd roared.
No matter who the other man is, H. W.
B. has the pleasantest lines of all. Then
he finds that multitude waiting him Sun
day after Sunday, ready to laugh or ay,
os his magnificent acting dictates. It
costs each person about ten dollars a
Sunday to hear him. The cheapest mi-
missions are those bought of the sexton
who puts you in an obscure seat for $1,
but will land you in the pulpit ou a camp
chair for $5. -
Yes, all things considered, what a swell
thing it is to be a pet parson.

happens that a girl don’t swear it is “a
man.” Of the whole number, one hun

except when trouble comes along. A

No Such Thing as Toleration*
Under tais head tue Chicago .Times
makes the following remarks upon the
iction of. the Evangelical Alliance in
hailing the overtures made that body by
the Old Catholics of Gcrnyuiy \
The action of the Evangelical Alliance
welcoming the overtures of the Old
Catholics of Germany is accepted by
many as an evidence of increased tolera
tion. It is, however, nothing of the sort.
When the Evangelical Alliance shakes
hands with the Old Catholic party, it
does so with no love for the secodents,
but l>ecause it is thought that the seces
sion has the effect to injure the Catholic
Church itself. There is no such thing a-
toleration between Protestantism and
Catholicism. Their mutual hatred haw
intensity and an endurance that leaves
without a rival. Hyacinthe was feted
and caressed, not because those who
fawned on him had the smallest tolera
tion of his Catholicism, but because
they suppose they recognize in him an
instrument that woidd inflict an injur}
upon their mortal foe—the Catholic hier
archy.
There is no union possible between
these two great antagonistic faiths.
They are utterly unlike in organization.
It is not desirable that there snould be a
union. Give either the supreme power,
and it would make the world too hot for
any who should oppose it. Unite the
two; let them be directed by a single
purpose; and the world would be rele
gated to a barbarism, dominated over by
a pitiless, inflexible superstition. The
interests of civilization require that theee
two rivals should remain rivals. Now
