An Anstin correspondent of the Nash ville Union reports that the election re turns already received at the capital showed a Democratic majority of 39,000, and it was supposed that the ultimate majority would not fall short of 50,000. But it was very seriously questioned from the salutary example which sought to be ma le. Moreover, the blasphem jus and hypo critical eipreiiiou? of piety and repent ance, such as were uttered by thi3 demon in human shape, Perfeet, are intended, ofttimes, for effect only, the criminal dy ing with a lie in his mouth. Such may justly be regarded as traves ties upon religion, and a device of tbe Geo. W. Owens, of Savannah, is down with a worse case of the same complaint. He had one of hi3 legs broken a few days since. Savannah cotton receipts on Monday footed up 10,204 bales—the largest ever known for one day in that city. The Central carried 7,037, and the Atlantic and Gulf 2,753 bales—the largest number ever carried over those roads in any one Injures Jlcrchandif, p r ,».. tun- siki ail other proprnv a; * rs-.

They state that Beast Butler, at the close of his “great effort,” warmlv congratulated him—and was the first to do so. This was from the proper quar ter, and by the proper person, for if we mistake not the character of the honor of the South, he will never find congratula tions among the people thus lowered. that time must not expect us to accommodate them with further credit.

A Colorado paper has this graphic description of a recent game of poker played in one of tho mining towns of that Territory : “Mr. Graves held a 'king full,’ and Mr. Walker rejoiced in three aces, and raised it to four aces, claiming the stakes, whereupon Grave* drew a sir-shooter and reckoned hi* hand was tho best. Walkor supplemented the four aces with a bowie-knife.. There was enough in tho ’pot’ to purchase two handsome coffins.” to power would not be backed by the Ad ministration in Washington and be suc cessful. The Constitution of the State of Texas, in article 3, section 6, reads as follows: “All elections for State, district and eonnty officers, shall be held at the county ■cat* of the several counties, until other wise provided by law; and the poIU shall be opened for four days, from 8 o’clock*, it. until 4 o’clock p. ar., of each day.” Tho Legislature, at its last session, authorized several voting places in each county and limited the time of voting to a single day. Tho Republican party now take the ground that the words “provided by law,” in the above section, refer only to the place of voting, and did not give the power to shorten the time. Again, there is a quarrel about the ex piration of Dari.:’ term. Tho Constitu tion provides that tho Governor shall be .Wcted ror four years, and the term of his service commence from the date of his election. Davis was elected in the fall of 1869, but the constitution was not or.vpted l»y Congress until April, 1870, and Davis consequently claims four years from the latter date. But the last Log- idalure fixed the time of meeting of tbe General Assembly on the second Friday in January, and provided that the Gov ernor-elect should be inaugurated on the Thursday following. Upon these dis crepancies it is apprehended that Dav>3 will declare tbo election null and void, and set up for himself with tho potential backin': of Grant. imbrote and harden the popular mind. If the condemned man has any confes sion to make, it should be imparted to the minister in attendance, or deposed before a magistrate.

Under this very appropriate head, the "Washington correspondent of tho Peters burg News makes the following humili ating statement: ■Washington, December 19.—One of the most striking and painfnl scenes oc curred to-day in the House of Repre sentatives. Butler, Lawrence, of Ohio, and the negro Rainey, of South Carolina, had finished their speeches for the civil rights bill. There was then a long pamo and no one from the South soemed ready nr .i»i. t. —2—i—ir t — fas—Messrs. Ste phens and Lamar both being too unwell; and the rest of tho Southern members not 1 laving a word to say, Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, took the floor, though com paratively unprepared by reason of his laborious duties on other questions, and made an -able and exhaustive argument against the bill. But for this the case would have gone by. We are glad Mr. Stephens did not speak on this question, if he was correctly reported by • the negro delegation who paid him a vLit on Tuesday. He . pro-, fesses to be opposed to the social equality bill, on the score of its unconstitution al i ty alone—contemptuously ignoring and rebuking all those high and honorable in stincts of race, culture, and human nature itself, that weld together true men every where in hot indignation and loathing against the infamous-scheme to first de grade, and then mongrelize tho people of the South. The people of Georgia are not anxious to hear from Mr. Stephens on tliis monstrous iniquity if he professes to discuss it solely from the stand point of constitutionality. They neither un derstand nor appreciate such considera tion for tho feelings of the knaves and fanatics who are seeking their degrada tion. Let Mr. Stephens speak os a white man—a Georgian—on the meanness and malignity of the scheme, and they will be better satisfied. They oppose it on other and more natural grounds than its unconstitutionality. The Almighty has planted in their breasts instincts that are stronger and holier than any that grow out of such such considerations as that. Let Mr. Stephens speak from that standpoint—let him give utterance to the voice of nature and nature’s God as beard and understood by his fellow-citi zens at the South, and then, if he likes, go through the farce of invoking the constitution to restrain a Radical Con gress from violating its provisions. Washington informs that paper that th Secretary of the Senate is busily engaged in resurrecting from the records all the instances of back pay grubbing by Con gress since the formation of the govern ment. and which met with executive ap proval.

Important Cask.—The Supreme Court rendered a decision last week, which was carried up from Savannah, in which our fellow-townsman, G. L. Mi (ledge, was largely interested. It appears that Mr. Milledge's grandfather, by will, gave in trust valuable lots ip the city of Sa vannah. The trustee, without author ity, and during the minority of Mr. Gaz. Milledge, sold these lota and appropria ted the money to his own private uses. On Mr. Milledge obtaining majority he brought an action of ejectment against one of the parties. The Supreme Court decided the principles involved in Mr. Milledge’s favor, by which he will come into possession of some thirty thousand dollars.
