The Oldest Democratic Paper in flu
State of Georgia. ~
CURRENT topics.
It is by no means settled that the United
States of America are to be 'ruled by Kel
logo’s returning board. — St. Louis Times.
How are you John James Pattekson?
Have you got that “five years more o!
good stealing in South Carolina?
“There is a sort of Mexican miasma in
the political air,” says Mr. Halstead. It is
the stench of the corruption of his own
party which he smells. No use trying to
lay it on the Mexicans.— Courier-Journal.
The Democrats of South Carolina fasted
and prayed for the election of Tildes? and
Hampton, and the Republicans of North
Carolina fasted and prayed for the success
of Hates and Settle. And now both par
ties are anxiously waiting to learn which
side had the most influence with the Lord.
Strange that Tyndall never thought of
this sort of prayer gauge.— Philadelphia
Times.
An estimate that seems to the New York
Herald not far from the truth places the
average cost of a Presidential election at
about $1,500,000 for each of the great op
posing parties, or a total of $3,000,000.
This would be equivalent to a tax of about
seven and one-half cents a head for every
man, women and child in the United States.
The wear and tear of conscience and other
fragile materials cannot be estimated.
Amid the difficulties and dangers of the
present situation it is a comfort to reflect
that the standard bearer of the democracy
is a Man and not a weakling like Hayes.
Mr. Tilden’s life-long training has made
him a respecter of law and a fearless cham
pion of its majesty, lie will not lead his
people wrong in this issue ; nor will he
allow the people who have made him their
choice and whom he represents to be be
trayed if it can be averted. All eyes are
now turned to him.—Baltimore Gazette.
Louisville, Ky., November 11.—Ex-Gov.
Palmer, in an interview with a reporter
gave as his opinion of the President's di
rections the following: ‘‘lf Grant were a
statesman, he ought to be impeached and
deposed from his place for issuing thoso
orders; but as it is Grant, nobody express
es much surprise. Grant has one leading
idea of government, and that is that he and
the army are the only power in this coun
try, and that they are an entire sufficiency.
He does not know or care for the constitu
tional limit. To be brief, he is not respon
sible.”
New York, November 9,—A diabolical
plot on the part of the Radicals to seize
the Government and declare Grant Dicta
tor has just been discovered, and for vil
lainy it is not only parallel to, but far be
yond, ay of the unconstitutional measures
which were adopted during war times to
abridge the constitutional rights of the
people. The plot Is this: Some of the
Radical politicians, with a large array of
legal talent from among their own party,
met together yesterday and discussed the
feasibility of setting aside the election by
throwing out some of the Southern States
on the ground of fraud. Sufficient of their
deliberations have transpired to show that
the ground they take upon which to base
their proposed action is this: They admit
that Tilden has 184 electoral votes, and
say that the law requires that the success
ful candidate must have a majority of all
the votes cast; that Tilden, with the vote
which he has, is not a majoiity of all when
Louisiana and the Southern States are
thrown out on account of irregularity;
that a majority, a bare majority, wiil not
suffice, and that it must be a majority of all
the votes cast; that neither Tilden nor
Hayes having a majority, neither are
elected, and that GRaNT will have to hold
over until his successor is chosen.
Mr. Tilden has not made a false move
in this campaign. On the contrary, he has
quietly parried every attack of his antag
onists, and has taken advantage of their
blunders. Like Napoleon at Austerlitz,
he is careful'not to interrupt the enemy
while they are making a false move. He
waits calmly until they are fully committed
to it; then he deals a stunning blow, and
leaves them to gather up the fragments.
It was thus that he answered the “income
tax” assault; he ground it into powder. It
It was thus that he smashed up the “rebel
claims'’ assault. Now, once again he sees
that the Gbantists and carpet-baggers are
making a false move in the Louisiana and
Florida affairs. Every step that Grantism
has taken in this matter is unlawful and
unconstitutional. The troops have been
sent, not in reply to any lawful demand,
and for a purpose which the Supreme Court
of the C nited States has recently declared
to be unconstitutional. Mr. Tilden is now
by Ills position the champion of constitu
tional law, and represents the popular ma
jority of three hundred thousand votes,
and the popular branch of the next Con
gress. Let the friends of constitutional
liberty be of good cheer. All will yet be
well.— Baltimore Gazette.
Cardinal Antonelli was by far the
wealthiest Catholic ecclesiastic, if not the
wealthiest of ail Italians. His fortune is
variously estimated at from ten to thirty
live million francs independently of his rare
and priceless works of art, ancient coins,
ancient statuary, and other articles of
vertu worth not less than 20,000,000. The
Cardinal possessed one of the linest assort
ments of precious stones to be found in
Europe, and could boast of diamonds of all
shapes of the purest water, incomparable
emeralds, pearls and turquoises the richest
laces, and the matchless marvels of the
loom of the last period. His business for
many'years has been to transact all the
affairs of the Papacy as Secretary of State
to the Pope, President of the Council of
Ministers, Prefect of the Sacred Apostolic
Palaces, of the Sacred Congregation of
Loretto and of the Consulta. His work was
quite as much that of a banker as of a
diplomatist. He inhabited a noble palace
on the summit of the Quirinal Hill.
Although receiving, with other Cardinals,
a salary of $4,000 per annum, he was pro
vided with so many wealthy benefices that
he had accumulated an immense fortune.
He had a chaplain and confessor, a little
court of his own, a scarlet-trimmed coach
emblazoned with ecclesiastical heraldry,
and a guard wearing cocked hats and knee
breeches.
SOMEHOW OR OTHER.
Life has a burden for every man’s shoul
der,
Noae may escape from its trouble and
care;
Miss it in youth and ’twill come when we’re
older,
And fit us as close as the garment we
wear.
Sorrow comes into our lives uninvited
Sobbing our heart of its treasures of
song;
Lovers grow cold and friendships are
slighted,
\et somehow or other we worry along.
t°il is an every-day blessing,
Though poverty’s cottage and crust we
may share;
tV eak is the back on which burdens are
pressing,
But stout is the heart that Is strength
ened by prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows
brighter,
Just when we mourn there was none to
befriend;
Hope in the heart makes the burden ssem
lighter.
And somehow or other we get to the end.
Electing Presidents by the Popular
Vote.
-
There is a movement, as if by spon
taneity, in the press of the country,
urging that an amendment to the Con
stitution be adopted, abolishing the
Electoral College and providing for the
election of President and Vice-Presi
dent by ihe popular vote. The New
York Herald, favoring this view, says :
“We see to-day how troublesome and
possibly dangerous is the present
method. Had the people voted Tues
day in their Congressional districts, not
for a board of electors, but directly for
President and Vice President, the cer
tain result would have been known
early this morning, and we should not '
be waiting anxiously for the count of
the whole vote of several States, In one
or two of which, os in Louisiana and
South Carolina, partisan returning
boards will manipulate the vote, and
may, unless they act with con
spicuous and unaccustomed fairness,
cause grave suspicions in the
public mind of fraud in a matter
so serious that it ought never to be
exposed to the slightest suspicion.
There is no reason whatever why the
people should not vote directly for
President, but there are many reasons
in favor of such a change. Some of
the ablest men of both parties in the
Senate have urged the change, and we
believe an amendment would be easily
passed by both houses this winter, if
the public demands it, and could be
ratified by the State Legislatures at
once. Under the present system a
close count on the electoral vote will
always create at least a feeling of un
easiness in the public mind; and be
sides this, the vote by Electoral College,
or by States, has, on a number of
occasions, virtually, though of course
constitutionally, and therefore regu
larly, defeated the popular will by
giving the Presidency to a candidate
who did not receive a majority of the
popular vote.” The New York Journal
of Commerce is equally emphatic in
favor of this proposed amendment and
thus comments : ‘‘Why should not a
majority of the whole people of the
United States have a right to elect a
President on the same principle that
the people of the different counties in
New York unite in electing a Governor?
There is no good reason for this differ
ence in the manner of conducting the
State and national elections, except
that, in the creation of the electoral
college a certain principle of “State
rights” was recognized. Under the
system in practice each State, as a
State, has a voice in the election of the
President and Vice-President, and gives
all its vote in the electoral college for
one candidate or the other. Further
more, each State is entitled to two
electors answering to the number of its
Senators at Washington. Nevada, with
its 40,000 or 50,000 inhabitants, is equal
to New York with its 4,000,000 in this
respect. As Nevada elects one repre
sentative to Congress, she is entitled
to three electoral votes, while New
York, with neatly a hundred times her
population, has only thirty-five votes.
The same principle of disparity, though
Dot as great, obtains in other of the
States, old and new’ ”
Be Cool and Moderate.
The noble and wise words of Wade
Hampton to the people of South Caro
lina, bidding them be cq,lm, patient and
magnanimous, are worthy of the man
and his great cause. They deserve to
be framed in letters of gold in pictures
of silver, and made to shine like the
cross of Constantins in the very hea
vens themselves, not merely for the
benefit of the people of the Palmetto
State, but the peoples of all the States.
Here in Democratic Georgia, we are
too powerful to be unjust. We can
afford to be tolerant of the opinione of
those who differ from us politically.
All men cannot think alike, and, so fai
as possible, we should, before rashly
judging, put ourselves in the places of
those who differ from us honestly. It
does eeem a monstrous thing to us
that gentlemen, who have lived in the
South, and some of them born here,
should vote to perpetuate Grantism.
Put they may have had urgent mo
tives, personal or otherwise, and they
are certainly entitled to the benefit of a
doubt.
In this connection, be it remembered
that many Republicans must have
voted for Tilden and Hendricks to se
cure their election. No one can right
fully claim Tilden’s election as a Dem
ocratic victory per se. It is the tri
umph of the better elements of all
parties united for a glorious purpose.
Again, there are thousands of Northern
Republicans who have capital to invest.
Capital to develop resources is a great
desideratum in the South. It is the
part of wisdom for us to show such
persons that we are as courteous,
kindly and tolerant as we claim to be
iutrepid. Nothing will so conduce to
bring the sinews of peace as well as
war among us as a spirit soaring
above political controversies. A gen
erous and high-minded man never
tramples upon an opponent who is
down ; and if we are to be worthy of
the character given us by Wade Hamp
ton and other great hearted-leaders, we
must not play the bully to the min
ority, but rather attempt to win them {
by superior virtues and a kindness that j
conquers the woigfc of prejudice.
From the benefit of this sublime
virtue if any are to be excepted, and it
is best to except none, we should say
that the veual fellows who have for a
JuDAS-bribe attempted to ride rough
shod over our people, as spies and in
formers, have dearly entitled them
selves to contempt and outlawry. But
even these creatures are too mean for
the purpose of vengeance at the bands
of any individual. They should be dealt
with by law, and, even if the law should
let them go, It is pretty certain that
their self-inflicted punishment, like
that of the false disciple, will be
greater than they can bear.
Bogus Senator Patterson, of South
Carolina, alludes to the Democrats who
have gone to New Orleaus as “cattle.”
The bogus Senator is mad because he
cannot get recognition from gentlemen,
and knows that he is on record in
Pennsylvania just as he is in South
Carolina.
Gov. Hayes—His Little Speech.
A few days ago, when Gov. Hayes
felt thap he had been defeated for the
Presidency, he made a little speech to
his friends which concluded an follows :
“I do not think it i8 right to joke over
this meeting. I don’t care for myself, and
the party—yes, and the country too can
stand it, but I do care for the poor colored
men of the South. Ido not fear that busi
ness will be greatly disturbed by Mr. Til
den’s election—trade governs itself. Cap
italists may just at present say, We won’t
lend money, but it will be only a nine
days’ wonder which will wear away.
As soon as they recover from the
chagrin of defeat business will, I think,
go on as usual. I do not think
parties are responsible for financial
depression. We see the troubles they have
iu Germany and Austria. If any part of
the country suffers or remains at a stand
still it wiil be the South under the new re*
gime. Northern men can’t live there and
will leave, and Immigration into the States
will cease. But as I said before, I do pity
the poor black men of the South. The re
sult will be that the Southern people will
practically treat the Constitutional amend
ments as nullities and the colored man’s
fate will be worse than when he was in sla
very with a humane master to look after
his interests. That is the only reason I re
gret that the news is as it is.”
We agree with Gov. Hayes that his
defeat is no joke to himself and his
party followers. He need not give him
self any uneasiness about business
being disturbed by Tilden’s election ;
but on the contrary behold a revival of
trade such as we have not had since
the war. It may be that the South will
not rapidly regain her former pros
perity ; but. she will at least be well
rid of the rogues wh© have, by the
power of the bayonet, in some States,
made prosperity impossible. The
whine of Gov. Hayes over the negroes
is just such Puritanical cant as we ex
pect from Gen. Garfield, which Jerk
Black so effectually punctured. The
negro’s rights in the South are secured
by the laws of the country and will not
be taken away, unless, as Mr. Redfield
suggested, the Radicals, finding that
the black vote was going against them,
would move all human agencies to
take the ballot from the negroes.
Gov. Hayes seems to have forgotten
that the blacks thrive most in the
Democratic States of the South. He is
careful to say nothing of the Freed
man’s bank robbery. If he chooses to
deplore the condition of the negro,
as his sick fancy paints it, nobody can
prevent his enjoyment of that luxury
of woe. But we must suggest, in pas
sing, that the million of white voters in
majority against him, look to Samuel
J. Tilden as the man who will respect
the rights of all classes, and, by taking
the sword from the throat- of his own
race, permit them to help the negro
while helping themselves. So much for
the Puritanic wail of Gov. Hayes.
The Crisis —The People will be Equal
to the Emergency.
[Philadelphia Times llth.l
“ We believe that Samuel J. Tilden is
honestly and lawfully chosen President
of the United States. His largo ma
jority of the whole popular vote is ad
mitted, but that, can give him no right
ful claim to the high office unless the
Electoral College shall fairly elect him.
If it shall, in faithful obedience to the
laws, elect Rutherford B. Hayes,
there are none who wiil refuse the
most cordial acquiescence; but the
country is not in temper to have the
positive expression of the popular will
overthrown in the Electoral College by
such hands as have enthroned the
Kelloggs and Spencers and Patter
sons of the South. They may be sub
mitted to iu order to save the fountain
of tree government, but should they
pour their deadly poison into a Presi
dential contest and subvert the solemn
judgment of the Republic, they would
at once plunge the noblest government
of the earth into anarchy more hope
less and ten fold more terrible than
that of Mexico. It is a truth that
none should misunderstand, that if
Samuel J. Tilden has been honestly
chosen President of the United
States, there will be no government
to administer in this land, after the
4th of March next, until he adminis
ters it; and it would be but the feeblest
imitation of the revolutionary pre
tenders of the tempest-tossed South
American mockeries of civil authority,
to attempt the inauguration of Ruth
erford B. Hayes against the deliberate
judgment of the people that his com
mission is the creation of fraud. It is
these pregnaDt truths which will unite
the demand af upright men of all
parties to protest against the ma
nipulation of returns in Louisiana,
South Carolina and Florida, and which
will compel the Chandlers and like
political desperadoes to swing to the
rear until the perli they have madly
invoked has been averted by the pa
triotism of the whole people of the
country. We hope and believe that
right will come out triumphant in the
ond, not because there are not enough
of leaders who would gladly overthrow
it, but because the whole business in
terests of the country will strengthen
the earnest aspirations of every loyal
citizen “ that government of the people,
by the people and for the people shall
not perish from the earth.”
The Richmond Dispatch, in the first
flußb of indignation at Zach. Chandler’s
iittle game, and with meagre respect for
the valor of Northern Democracy, pro
nounces the visit of notable persops fp
New Orleans “a farce,” and bitterly
adds: “Jt is q littje sleight-of-hand

While they ppss under the yoke. They

The Worhl says; “Let it be understood
that the United States wllj not accept a
President at the hands of men who have
been pronounced usurpers by all Republi
cans and Democrats who were ever ap
pointed to investigate Upqtejpea affairs.”
In times like these, when a great battle
has been fought, and a whole country waits
fo hear the result, it is the first duty of pa
triotic oitizens to be guarded in utterance
and in action. A few designing men might
precipitate an avalanche of trouble which
not all the wisdom of the land could avert
There is no present occasion for threats or
menaces, and there must be no opportunity
given to tricksters to work out their de
signs. Manly moderation must rule the
hour.— Baltimore Gazette.
