Tnus far three lodges of the Knights of Pythias have been organized in Savannah A National Labor Union, as it is called, chiefly composed of colored men. meets in Washington on the 9*b of next January. Whenever a person is shot to death now in the German armies, they say he “is fusiladed by a file of soldier/’ &c. The Republicans of Meriwether have nominated \V. 11. F. Hall and Moody Mor gan, as candidates to represent that county in the next General Assembly. The proposed amendment to the State Constitution of Michagan scratching out the word “white,” is defeated. It will be re membered however, that the State is an in tensely Radical one. Wi are glad to learn that Mr. John T. Waterman, formerly one of the Editors ot the Talbotton Standard, will receive com pensation from the Railroad company for loss of office material, by the late fire in Fort Yalley. Large numbers of emigrants from North Carolina haverecently been passing through Augusta, en route for Arkansas. Texas and Louisiana. One hundred pas-ed over the Georgia Railroad in one day alone, and on another, eighty. The Atlanta Constitution, excellent au thority, speaks of our worthy candidate, Col, Hall, in the following terms. The last sentence tells the whole story: Hon. John I. Hall is the Democratic candidate for Representative in Upson county. He is true, to the core. Tiie Chicago Republican publishes a list of those who haven’t been offered the Eng lish Mission, as follows : “Carl Schurz, George Francis Train, Jim Fisk, Andy Johnson, Commissioner Wilson, Wendell Phillips, and the Cleveland man who sent that dog without paying express charges.” llon. John W O’Neal, of Lowndes county, the Republican leader in the House, was appointed by the Senate in Executive Session, on Monday last, Judge of Alapha Circuit. The Constitution says this is an admission that his term us office as a mem ber of the Legislature has expired. The Chicago Post has the following valuable information : “The Washington conspiracy has matured. The edit* rs of the New York Evening Post, Chicago Tri bune, St. Louis Democrat, and Cincinnati Commercial, entered into a wicked league, binding themselves to arise at a given sig nal, and take the life of the Republican paity.” Now that Sehenuti bus been laid on the shelf, it is a matter <>f inquiry, who is to be the next leader of the House of Represen tatives. Ooe Butler, a spoony fellow, formerly of the Police Court of Lowell. Massachusetts, is probably the coming man. lie a*d Grant are bed-fellows, notwith etanding a certain little bottling-up affair which occurred toward the end of the late war. In the United States District Court at Savannah, a few days since, the case of the United States vs. Foster Blodgett, was call ed for trial. As the Government could not produce the original oath taken by Blodgett the District Attorney informing the Court that it had been stolen from the Department at Washington— the case was dismissed, as the certified copy of the original oath was not admitted a* evidence by the C *urt The jury w.v n viruolcd lu bring in ver dict of acquittal. Senator A. Alpeora Bradley comes out in an advertisement in the Constitution, and formally Hniuuii.ees his intention of running for the United States Senate, a.ainst the Hon. (?) Foster Blodgett, if he is*defeated by “carpet-bagger*— to n?e his own Words—in the First Congressional District. To render this advertisement and uhle attractive, a large cut is employed, representing a dashing dragoon with drawn sword, in unred on a fierv horse. . It seems that troops are to he sent to this S*atp to “regulate” matters at the approach ing State e ection. It is said that one of the members of the Cabinet strenuously opposed the project of attempting to con trol the election in this outrageous manner, fearing lest the presence of troops would bring about a result similar to that in Ala bama Atlanta is the point from which they are to he distributed over the State. Send them along, if you wish us to roll up a hugh Democratic majority. Communicated.} Mr. Editor: The time is fast approach ing for the nomination of County officers to be elected in December. This nomina tion should he harmonious, apd the nominee for each office, whoever he may be, should be unanimously supported by the party. Prejudices and preferences, however great and long cherished, should be waived. The hour is dark, the way is precarious, and without the greatest caution the conse quences may be overwhelming. Who is there so negligent and careless of his own interest, of the interests of his fellow man, a* and his obligations to posterity, as not to have pictured in his mind the. administra tion of the affairs of hw county by Sam, Jake, and others of Etbeopian persuasion. Fmm the melancholy tone of the breezes we get the idea, that there is a move on loot to overthrow the present nomination for Representative and re-nominate. The late Convention was called for the purpose of nominating, the meeting was regularly organized, and the nomination was legally, honorably, and justly mad’e. Parties had the right to run themselves, or to run their friend? in the nomination. It was a free, open fight. It came off in the broad-open day time, when all live and active men had their eye? open. It occurred in the Court House of Upson county. It was talked of beforehand, and all who are in the habit of reading, had the chance of reading the call for the Convention published in the Herald. Certainly then, gentlemen will not corn plain that they did not know the nomina tion was to be made—that they were taken by surprise and had not time to prepare and be present at the race. It has been whispered, and perhaps these dissenters will bring it up as an argument, that Col. Hall has not been long enough a resident of the county ; and secondly, that he is a lawyer. The first objection seems to be offered because p rties desire an ob jection, ami by the most diligent research, their disappointed ambition can produce, they bring up the pitiful mouth that he has not been long enough in the county. Piti ful objection. The voters at the nomination did not seem to think this when they gave him a majority vote of all the candidates in the race. Bo men, gentlemen ! Don't hunt up such petty, childish objections at a time when you should waive objections that under other circumstances might be valid. As to the second; I think it a recommendation, rather than an objection. The lawyer is dependent on the farmer. The farmer’s succesu is essential to the suc cess of the lawyer. In framing laws io protect and secure the interest and rights of the farmer, he advances his own interest— hence the interests of the two are identical, to a certain extent. But fellow-citizens, the time has come when we need true, honorable, efficient and active men to represent us. We need men that are able to stand up ana vindicate our rights. We need men to oppose and resist successfully the hordes of political adven turers and carpet-baggers, who have impose ed upon us since the tide of war has gone out. The Hon. Jon* I. Hall is ODe of those men. If he should be chosen by the people of Upson, they will find him a true, able, and faithful representative. If then at the Convention for the nomina tion of County officers, there is an attempt to annul the present nomination for Repre sentative, it is the duty of every man who has the welfare of his country and the success of the Democratic party at heart, to vote it down, SPURN it with contempt. If the nomination should be set aside, defeat is inevitable. Col. Hall is justly, honorably, and legally entitled to the vote of the Democratic party of Up6on county. What, gentlemen, is the purpose of a nom ination if it is not to consolidate and unite the vote of the party upon one man? Do the voters of Upson propose to make this child’s play ? Gentlemen, let us not betray such fickleness. It would give renewed energy and exertion to our opponents. A Citizen. The New Fusion Reform Partt. —The New York Journal of Commerce, commen ting upon the victory aohieved in Misaour by the Reformers, says that the objectß they have in view are confined to no S’ate, and that great numbers of the rising Republi cans of the West are with them heart and soul. Os the Democrats, it says: At the very outset the immense Democrat ic minority of the Northern »Bd Western and S uthern Slates stand ready to> irai &f.*r, upon satisfactory terms, nearly th»*ir whole strength to the movement All that is acc essary. therefore, to organize anew party capable of electing a President in 1572, is for a comparatively small force of the Republican army to step out manfully from the ranks, and meet and join the Democrat ic masses coming towards them halfway. The friends of Yanderpool, the Michigan murderer, want a third trial. SYNOPSIS OF TELEGRAPiUC NEWS. Nnt Y >*k Y-\ember failed in his walk and was to an oa#rj>oireriiig desire for The match was fur four hundred rWes in five days, and Weston failed on the three hun dred and twentieth mile. Montgomery, November 26—The day has been one of excitement here. At a lute hour last night. Gov. Smith and Treas urer Bingham obtained from Superior Court Judge, Siiffold, and Circuit Court Judge, Pelham, injunctions restraining the presiding officer of the Senate from count ng the vote fur Governor and Treasurer at 1 | o’clock to-day. At 1 o’cioek tbe Houses met in j >int convention Mr. Barr, Presi idem pro tem , of the Senate, announced , that he could not open and count the vote for Governor and Treasurer, but would count lor the other officers. The result of the count was a majority of all the votes cast in the State, for E. 11. Moren, Lieut. Governor. 4.377; J. J. Parker. Secretary of State, 4.459: J. W. A. Sanford, 3,423; all Democrats. The President announced these gentlemen legally elected to their respec tive offices, and ordered the returns tube sent to the Secretary of State to await tbe judicial proceedings. ******* The Lieutenant-Governor, Moren, pro ceeded to count the votes for Governor and Treasurer. It resulted in fourteen hundred and twenty-nine majority for Lindsay, Democrat, and about twenty-five hundred majority for Grant, Democrat. Mr. Lind say took the oath of office as Governor of the State, and, for a time, we will probably hare two Governors. The Senate will recognize Smith, and the House, Lindsay. The matter will be in tbe Court soon. foreign. London, Nov 24—Earl Russell writes to the Times: “If the Czar proposes to set aside the treaty of Paris by force, let us meet him with force. The sooner the bet ter.” The Post, referring to Gortschukoff’s answer to Granville’s note, expected to-day, says diplomacy is wholly at fault in conjec turing its nature. Trochu’s proclamation is as follows; “We have made efforts and honored our misfortunes in the eyes cT tbe whole world. Europe is amazed at the unexpected specta cle of a «l*.se union existing between rich and poor. The enemy are suffering far more than we suspect. They begin to yield in their implacable resolution. They may crush us yet ; but if we fall, we shall have bequeathed to Prussia a scheme which can not be carried into execution, and an inheri tance of execrations and hatred under w hich she, in turn, will fall ” Washburne has received a dispatch from Washington ap;. roving of his remaining in Paris. Madrid; Nov 24.—A public meeting is proposed here to express regret at the aban donment by the Germans, of a defensive fiir an aggressive policy. London, Nov 25'—The Times editorially intimates that Russia will be firm, without closing the door to negotiations—an attitude which England wilt imitate. The Times estimates two hundred thousand German troops in the valley of the Loire. The Prussians were defeated in an at tempt? to capture a tram at St. Quentin. Movements looking to tbe concentration of the German armies continue in fourth France. Large bodies are marching south to take positions around Paris and near Orleans. St. Petersburg, Nov. 25.—T0-day the press of this city has been officially warned against supporting France or criticising Germany. The interests of Germany are identified with those of Russia. Madrid. Nov. 25.—The total and imme-i diate abolition of slavery in Cuba is again agitated in the Spanish press. New York, Nov. 25—The World’s special from London says: The Cabinet troubles culminated to-day. This morning, Earl Granville went to Windsor to inform the Qneen of tbe impossibilty of carrying on the government with the Cabinet so irre concilably divided as to the policy to pur sue towards Russia. His resignation will upset the Ministry, and a dissolution of the Cabinet caa scarcely be preventen. Berlin, Nov. 2G —Large numbers of sol diers and citizens from Paris approach the Prussian lines to surrender, and are invari ably turned back. A Tribune special from St. Petersburg pays that Russia is unprepared for war and cannot be ready before spring. The Gazette says Russia cannot with draw her declaration nor leave it without practical consequences. Such a proposition from the English press only compels her to pursue more actively a realization of the problem set before her No one in Russia de>ires war. but all classes would consent to war rather than & humiliating retraction under threats. London, November 26.—A telegram has been received, varying from all other ac counts just given to the public, and an nouncing that Paris is still confident, with sufficient food for two and a half months; bread for e : ght months; and wine and brandy for a year, The telegram says further, that the French are erecting addi tional defences on all sides. New York.. November 27 —The World’s special from London says that the opinion in official circles to-night re that there will be no war at present Gortschak' ff says Russia still keeps her position. Eriglaid will remain quiet, con tenting herself in turn by protesting her determination to fight when Russia com mits an overt act. The Tieurs are organizing under superior officers. They make frequent captures of Prussians trains and munitions, and fight ing in small bodies, they inflict great dam age on Prussian communications. The German plans for the investment of Orleans have fallen into the bands of the French. Mr. Bard, in the True Georgian of the 30th ult., make following admission ; “A close observation upon the condition of the country, during my recent visit to the ‘Federal Capita!,? and the Northern States, has forced npon my mind the eonviotion that the mission of the Republican party has ended.” The Chicago Times, hearing that Bu*ler may get into the Cabinet explains ; “But ler is a man of brains. So was Lord N rth. So was Jeffrey. So were Caligula ai dN< • ro and a good many other criminals that were not. together with some that w*-re hanged Butler is an ambiti* us scour drel, with brains enough in hit* head to make hint a dargerrus man in a position where he would have the right ear of a weak and ig norant President. In the office of Secreta ry of Slate he would he the lago of public disaster, putting money in his purse to work our th*> crooked designs of an unmiti gated political villian.” A Republican Onnhin < r Grant —The fullowiog ib IfiMii the Chicitf** Republican, a paper wtoicV , helped elect Airaut, aud which has supported his admiiiisuatiutt, pc long as it could without compromising its self-respect ani sense of pfnprfety, to the last degree. The Republican is oue of the most influential and widely read republican journals of the great Northwest, and i’B opinion of Grant's feeble admin stratire qualities and “personal meanness,” and th® general poor estimation in which he is held, as expressed in the concluding paragraph of the extract copied below, will not be without considerable influence. It say a: “It has been no uncommon thing for parry organs in this country to accuse Presidents of their own party, of party of fences, nntruth to the party principles, or unfaithfulness to their actual or implied pledges in respect to individuals or policy. It is the common fate of succeeding Vice- Presidents to suffer under accu-ations of party perfldy in general, accompanied, for the sake of emphasis, with suggestions of official malfeasance. But the official career of Gen. Grant, presents a case that is pecu liar. lie stands charged not »' much with unfaithfulness t » his pirty official mis conduct and personal meanness ; and these charges are so well established, so univer sally believed and so freely enlarged upon, that the organs, of his own party eveu, which speak in his favor or attempt brs vin dication, are the exception. No American President, taking for it the testimony of the Republican press, was ever more thorough ly despised, or deserved it better than the one who now dishonors the highest place in the gift of the people, by hio tenat ey.” Thi Washington correspondent of a New York paper has the following in relation to the Presidential succession. We think ‘ Eastern politicians” are in error in think ing that Senator Hendricks is not known well enough here ; no man in the party is more generally or more favorably known here or more frequently spoken of as our next President in our hearing, than he. Hendricks and Hoffman, or vice versa, or Hancock, would sweep the country in 1872 like a whirlwind. It really seems that the ll’s will be in the ascendant for the next four years. The correspondent says : ‘‘The politicians are taking up the next Presidential election. The Democra ic electoral vote now foots up 154, and the Republican 148, including Pennsylvania, which the Democrats claim will cast her 26 votes for their candidate in 1872. They seem to agree better on Senator Hendricks than any other Western man, as a candi date, but Eastern politicians say that he is not known well enough east of the Allegha nies. Chief Justice Chase would be a can" didate on whom all the Conservative and Democratic elements would unite, but his health renders it impossible lor him to be mentioned as a candidate. Gratz Brown, the Governor eloct of Missouri, and Gen. Cox are also talked of somewhat. In truth, not a few think that the whole issue of the next campaign for the Presidency will be made on the basis of civil service and rev enue reform.” Morb Words to the Negroes. —You will not find one rnteiligent colored man out • fa thousand who will not candidly aamit to your questioning, that he is unwise in sep arating from the white people, with whom he was reared and caved for, and yet he will go straightway to do his best at the ballot- box to ruin the Southern man and to elevate the vile renegades and Yankee adventurers who use him as a tool. They will not deny that when they want help and succor, they cannot get it from Radi cals, and go to their old white friends. They will not deny that the great majority of the Radicals in the South, imported and native, are dishonest and hypocritical scamps ; that they do not give him bread or employment, and that he can trust neither to their generosity nor their justice. Die negro will agree to all this as glibly as you please, and yet he invariably votes to put these rascals in high i.ffices at the ex pense of our best citizens. Now, this is a blind and foolish game, bluek men, that they may succeed for a while, bo>t one end will miserably fail at last. And that end is fast approaching. You have been for years doing your very best to make enemies of the white people of the South—you have formed yourselves solid into one party — the black man’s party—do you wonder at the inevitable result—a white man’s party ? When y< a hear of a white man’s parry, you cry out at tbe injustice of it. Yet it is you that forced that party into existence, to defend themselves against the hostilities in which you have permitted carpet-b»ig» grrs to array you against them. Do you not know what made the Register aw advo cate of a white man’s party T It was the result of watching your course narrowly for two or three years after the war, arid find* ing that you were the determined enemies of the whites,, counseling with and doing the work of their direst foe, listening to no reasoning, no persuasions, and no entreaties to act and vote as if you belonged to thp South, and not as if you were ail imported from Yankee land. The Register saw you were bont on a black union against the South, and we had nothing left to do but to rally the whole South to defend them selves against your folly and madness.— Mobile Register.
