THE LATE ELECTIONS. Death-Knoll of Uadicnlinm. The results of the late elections will inspire the lovers of constitu¬ tional liberty with a new hope.— Verily, the day is dawning, and the truth is beaming in upon Northern minds, that the destructive southern policy of the Radicals, is danger¬ ous to their liberty as well as ours. The New York World, in a jubil¬ ant arlielc in reference to the splen¬ did triumphs in Indiana, Ohio &c., nays: “The now« of this magnificent Dem¬ ocratic triumph, presaging the wider and util! more complete victories of the •end Ih'tnocrat'jf'In joy November, will to the hearts of millioiiH in every part of our land. It will breathe new life into the disordered industries and the sinking commerce of the Atlantic States; it will inspire with fresh courage the despairing agriculture of the mighty West, rob¬ bed so long by rag money and a ruinous tariff of all the rewards of steady labor, under benignant sea¬ sons slnuueh upon a teeming soil, it will hind tho the bleeding shattered wounds arid up limbs and pour measureless joy into the broken heart of the prostrate South, now nt length ere long to he restored to the Union of States, and restored to the jiist equality liberties of their sclf-gove 1T1 meat, the and laws.” The Democratic majority in In¬ diana is 15,000; ami in Ohio about 20,000 The lower house of the next Con¬ gress will in all probability he Dem¬ ocratic. Ohio, which went against the Ropubliewn* a year ago by less than a thousand majority, has just gone against them by a majority twenty times larger on the aggregate vote, and altera Its delegation, in Congress from 13 Republicans ami 7 Democrats to exactly the opposite proportion—7 Republicans and 13 Democrats; and linTbina, which went half Democratic and half Re¬ publican iu 1872, now goes decisive¬ ly against tho Republicans on the general vote, and changes its Con¬ gressional* delegation from 10 Re piihlicans and 3 Democrats to 4 Re¬ publicans and 0 Democrats. There is no material change iu Iowa and Nebraska. Each is said to give a little stronger Republican majority than in 1872 on the State ticket, but this does not change their Congress¬ ional delegates. All the nine Iowa members wore Republican* before, ami all of those just, elected to the next Congress are Repuhlians; so of tie one Nebraska member. There is, there fore, no Republican gain of member* in these States to repair the Itepuhlicaa lueses in Indiana and Ohio. West Virginia goes Demo¬ cratic and changes Uh Congressional delegation from two Republicans and one Democrat lo three Demo¬ crats. Arkansas elects a Democrat¬ ic State ticket and adopt the new Constitution; but no elect ion for mem hers of Congress was held. To nun up the Congressional results: The Republicans lose and the Dem¬ ocrats gain In Ohio fi members; the Republican* lose and the Democrats gain iu Indiana 6 members; and the Republican* lose and the Demo¬ crats gain iu West Virginia 2 mem¬ bers, making a total loss on one side and gain on the other of 14 mem¬ bers, or a change of 25 vote* in Site next Congress. Adding to this the result in North Carolina, w here, on the till) of August, the election changed the Congressional delegates from 3 Republicans ami 5 Democrats to 1 Repub LNMimiid 7 Democrats, we find that the elections held up to (his time have changed the relative strength of the two parlies iu the lower House of Congress as follows: 4Iiii<on. 43tt con.

That Grant is opposed to all the reconstruction measures—that the good citizens of Louisiana, the mocrats, are corrupt, and as much to blame for the troubles there as the Kellogg and Longstreet faction—and that all men are born equal, and the negro equal to the white man, not in size or in color, but—how he didn’t say—is a new dish of Mr. Stephens’ crow which we can't go. " ■ 1 • ♦ » — ■ —.......... Owlv three negroes hare been elected to the Georgia Legislature this year: Tunis Campbell, of McIn¬ tosh ; J. Blue, of Glynn; W. C. Ba¬ con, of Liberty. Upon a test vote the chances for the negroes to save their bacon will look mighty blue. The old .Radical slogan that “the Campbell’s are coming” will be dim¬ ly heard in the distance. Thk Great State Fair is pronounced on all hands a grand success. It is said there were more people on the grounds Wednesday and Thursday than ever attended a previous fair in Georgia. The general display is very extensive; anil they arc having a jolly oTd time with the races. The Augusta papers of Wednesday publish Hon. A. II. Stephens’great speech in that city on the loth. It is about the same that our people lis¬ tened to on the 13th. The Chronicle and Sentinel very sensibly remarks that Mr. Stephens’ defense of Grant, etc., does not represent the feeling of the people of the Eigth District, although Mr. Stephens is the Demo¬ cratic nominee for Congress. —— .....— ■' ■ ■ ♦ .....- ■ ...... The October frosts arc nipping the Radical mushroom in the West mightily, and we opine the cold, chilly winds of November will leave it completely wilted. Ik Grant is really opposed to the reconstruction acts, it is a great pity that nobody ever found it out but Mr. Stephens. Letter from Hon. A. II. Ste¬ phens. lid Explains Ills Position. Liberty Hall, / Crawkordvili.k, Ga., Oct. 20, *74.{ Editors 'Ehnfis find Planter — Gents: I have just seen the issue of your paper of the 17l h iust., anti no flec a cornriiiifiiiiation in it, over the signature of “ Special,” to which I think il, propir for rue, through your indulgence, to make a brief reply. Tho “grotis misrepresentation” of “my position and language” in my speech in Sparta on the J3th lust, which appeared in the tcUgram to the Macon and Atlanta papers, and to which I referred in my counter telegram, was the statement, that in the^speech I had said that the “issue before the Country is not the Cirit lliyhts llill$ &c. So far from mak¬ ing tiny such statement, I was most explicit in declaring that this was now the yrent issue between okn THALIHM and eONSTirt rt'lNAI.ISM. The Louisiana allair, I stated, in my opinion was a side as well as minor issue, and had been gotten up nt the time it was to divert the popular mind at the North from the rent great issue. It was for nothing reported in the telegram touching what 1 said about Grant, that I sent the coun¬ ter telegram—as “ Special ” seems to suppose—though the tone of that, in this respect, 1 did not think was altogcther just to me. I take occasion, Messrs. Editors, to say that your sketch, or synoptical report, of tlie speech, which I find in the same paper, is one of the bes f rr/iorts of the sort I have ever seen of any of my speeches. Such re¬ ports are, of necessity, always more or less detective in some parts set forth, as well as in some omissions of parts. In yours referred to “ITTs" is a date given which ought to have been “17'JX-JW;" anti there is also an error in connecting tin* name of Jef¬ ferson with the action of tho Vir¬ ginia Convention in 1830. These, however, are small matters. I have no complaint to make of your report as a whole. Very respectfully, Alexander II. Stei’hfns. (setter from n Colored Demo¬ crat. SniiT (»a,. 1 'ot. D, 1S71.

Such men can add tt» the Constitution. These men can not be led. but they can lead. 1 wish that such men as John L. Culver and John It. Billion was elected all over the State. These men are great men. and are able to represent this people in the highest. 1 am a Republican, but I am willing to trust good men. more especially They when 1 know tlicir motive. are going to prevent devilment instead of carrying it on. The white and colored all ought to pull together, any way : then the De vil w ould not get between tlie peo pie.

Of 36 members of the House, in 43d Congress, who refunded back pay, nine have been elected to the next Congress. Of two hundred and seven members who pocketed back pay and laughed at the thirty-six, only one has been elected to the next Congress. Some very wise men may justify their action in pocketing the people’s money; but they can’t beat it into the heads of the people that this little game was morally right—never. While the Western States are piling np Democratic majorities. Grant is distributing soldiers thro out Alabama, Tennessee and Loui¬ siana, for the purpose of carrying the elections for the Radical party. We hope that the people of those •States will stand up firmly for their rigl^js, be and not permit themselves to terrorized by rascally deputy marshals. ------ ----- ----- -— The National Episcopal Conven¬ tion, at New York, on the 12th ad¬ mitted an Indian from Dacotah as a lay delegate.

Poor Mexico! Grand Jiry P esenlments. Hancock Superior C o u r t. OCTOBER TERM, 1874. Wo, the Orainl Jury, selected and sworn for October Term of the Superior Court of Han cork county, beg to submit the following pre¬ sentments; First, the report on I’uhlir Records, received at the hands of Messrs. LaFayette Howell, Henry II. Harris, and DeLamar Turner, com miller appointed by the Grand Jury of the April Term of this Court, 1*74, to examine tlie hooks of the < lerk of i he Superior Court, Coun ty Treasurer, and Ordinary, we submit in full: Jlejmrt of Commute to Inspect Hooks of County Uppers: We first examined the condition of the books of the < lerk, all of which, consisting of Re¬ cords of Deeds, Mortgages, Ac.. Minutes of Court, Dockets (civil ami criminal}, we find to he neatly, and, to our eyes, correctly kept. We next went into a close and minute exam¬ ination of the books or the Treasurer; taking first his hook of receipts and cash book, and comparing one with the other, and then going through with all the vouchers, and comparing •hem with the receipts. We find his accounts all correct to scent, lie has vouchers for ev¬ en thing that lie lias paid out, except Jury money nnd to paupers. Right here we beg lea .’e to recommend, that in order to prevent fraud and imposition, the pauper system be remodeled. For instance, the list that the Treasurer now lias is the same one that the Treasurer in 1*71-2 had. and perhaps needs re¬ vision. We therefore suggest that the pauper list 1st revised semi-annually, to wit: on the first day of April and OcMsTof each tear. Wc find that the offices of ( lerk and Treas¬ urer being represented by one man, puts into liis hands the |Miwer of doing considerable evil to the Treasury, viz: He, as Clerk, has the power of drawing from himself ns Treasurer, without other warrant, am. jvbv money; now while we apprehend no harm may accrue ot •he county with the present Incumbent, under this arrangement, in the ease of a dishonest • lerk and Treasurer, it might accrue. Wc next went into the examination of tin books of the Ordinary, all of which ive find properly kept, and all matters of record sarv to be recorded properly written uptodate. We find that lie has issued during the year, 17:t marriage license*, most of which have been returned ami registered. We neglected, in its proper connection, to state that we find a balance on hand in the Treasury of (1764 53 neve u hundred ami sivt> - four dollars and fifty-three rents. L.

Wc recommend, with reference to the pati per* of the county, that the t ounty Judge t*on •*'""' !" apimint three commissioners from each Militia District, to attemlto the distribu¬ tion of the pauper fun.I. The Jury find that some of the Militia Dis¬ trict lines nave become so indistinct that it is necessary to resurvey them, viz: the indistinct l"’rtnm nf lines between tilth uml tilth ami •Olh Districts; also, between II2)ti and I14l)i Districts, and we authorize the Ordinary),, em|i|ny a e«m|ielent surveyor to run said lines, ami lin t ounty Judge have the 0 x 1 * uses |,.nid for the *aid *urve> out of the county funds. We find, u|mui investigation, it IS not IltHTS sary to build a bridge r Heaver l»am < nvk. (Ml Die road leading from l’owclltou to Mav field. In neeordanee with suggestion* from the Judge of the t ounty t oiirt. we a-k that our RepreseutativeH in the next General Assembly use their tnfliieuee to have a lull pa...... to make our < bunt) ( ourt a eourt of record.

In our examination of the present court house, wc feci tlint we have not acted hastily, and have not, witlioutdue deliberation, reach¬ ed our conclusion. We And it unlit for, and inadequate to the transaction of the, business of the court, either with convenience or com¬ fort. We believe it to lie utterly incompatible with the reputation for public-spiritcdncs* and enterprise which our county justly merits. And while wc would not, without groat cau¬ tion, urge any measure that would increase the present burdensome taxation of our people, we believe the cost necessary to the erection of a new and better one—such as our people would approve—can be raised in such a manner that the burden will be but lightly felt by anyone. Wc therefore recommend the building of a new Court House; and for the purpose of raising the necessary funds for the erection of the same, we recommend the proper authorities bo authorized to petition the next General As¬ sembly of this State to pass an act empowering the issue of I Hinds of the county to the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars, payable in equal instalments, during the years of 1876, 1877, 1878, 1879, and 1880; bonds to bear eight percent, interest, viz: five thousand due at twelvemonths from the first day of March, 1875, and that the county authorities be authorized to levy and collect an ad valorem tax for the year 1873 sufficient to pay the first maturing bonds—principal and interest—and so on each succeeding year, un¬ til said bonds, with the accruing interest, be fully paid. We request Thomas M. Turner, Thomas I. Little and Frank White to co-operate with the County Judge in the arrangements for the con¬ struction of the new Court House. The following gentlemen have been appoint¬ ed a committee to examine the I’uhlic Records and report to the next Grand Jury at the April Term of this court, in 1874, viz: S, L. Eatillo, F. M. Little, and .lames Ttass. In taking leave of His Honor, Judge Pottle, we thank him for his leniency and courtesy to our body; to Solicitor-General Lumpkin, we acknowledge our many obligations for the in¬ valuable services rendered our body in prose¬ cuting our business.
