The election to be held on the 6th of October next, should be a full and fair expression of the wishes of the people. Every man, who id entitled to vote, shou'd be allowed to quietly go to the polls and deposit his ballot. Of lmll dozing ot buying there should be none. A big question has been referred to the democracy—the ques tion whether the man the majority want shall be governor. To settle this question, the aid of the republicans has been called in. To a great extent they are the arbiters of this question. Self- respect, then, if no other motive, should impel the white..—who have the clear majority in the state—to give the blacks a fair show ing and an easy time. Let them vote as they will; but put no obstructions in their way. A lull vote of all the legal electors ought to be had. The colored man, aud the not-well-in- foimed white man have both been contested over, with the utmost zeal; and they will be “ labored with ” till the day oi the election. Then let them alone; and let us have all over Georgia a peaceable election, >uch a one as shall be a credit to ns as n people, and a satisfactory settlement of the matters at Issue. FOR CONGRESS—NINTH DISTRICT: HON. EMORY SPEER, ’’F CLARK. SOUTHERN PROSPERITY. FOR SENATOR 27tH DISTRICT, ii. d. McDaniel, OF WALTON. FOR REPRESENTATIVE, POPE BARROW. Mr. Enulisii thinks Indiana will go Democratic by 15,000. Tiik political temperature of Indi ana is said to be 190 in the shade. The Atlanta Constitution of yester day came out as an eight page trade issne. Judge Warner, it seems, claims that he was driven from the bench. Poor man! Will he run before the legislature for vindication ? It is folly to try to make the col ored people believe that Colquitt is not their friend. They have known him too long for that. Some people are sanguine enough to bet that Illinois will go Democratic. rer contra, the Republicans have hopes ot carrying North Carolina. The ‘ floater’ in Maiue is having a rich time. Both sides are going to bid heavily for his vote in the No- vember election. Sam Jemison has got down into Dooly. That accounts for Charley Hill’s recent departure for South west Georgia. He’s going to fish for Jemison. The Norwood men talk a great deal about ‘straws.’ After the election they won’t bother themselves about straws, except those that arc used for purposes ot suction. No man can blind liiinaelt, says the Courier-Journal, to the growth of the South in wealth and in numbers. Large crops and good prices are changing the whole face of the South cm country. This growth was im possible under the dominion of the carpet-bagger. It is to tliat extent due to the Democracy ; it is a vindi<. cation of its principle of local self- government, or home rule. One cone sequence ot this material pr< sperity will be to increase political influence in national affairs. This may be un* palatable to the malignant editors of the Republican party organs, but we do not know what they arc going to do about it. All the progress made by the South from 18G0 to 187G does not compare with what has been done in the past four years. The center of empire is changing to the South. It is now too late to adopt the suggestion ot the Cincinnati Commercial and wipe out the State lines. The opposition of the Republicans can nut keep the South down; there are forces at work stron ger than any party. For a while a theft like that of 1876 may succeed in retarding real progress; the spectre of a solid South may alarm enough oclo. genarians in Ohio to keep that State in line with the Republican party! “Southern claims” may have a terror for the weak minded and the timid, but these are merely temporary hind ranees; the tide can not be turned back. The South can well afford to wait for justice—it is less concerned in the verdict in November than is the North. It will aid in purifying the Government; but if Ephraim is join ed to his idols, it once more fraud and chicanery are to triumph, if the will of the people is to be disregarded, if the vote of Indiana is to be stolen, as was the vote of Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina, then the South can wait for the slow grinding mills of the gods. We believe that the right will triumph now,that nationalism and patriotism will bear down all sectional animosity and official corruption re presented by the Republicans. The average number of documents now sent daily by the Democrats from campaign headquarters in Washing ton is 400,000. Most of them go to Indiana, The appointment oi Mr. Longlcy judge of ilio Coweta circuit gives satisfaction to the Aogusta News. Bravo I It admits that Colquitt has done one thing right. “ The average Colquitt sympathetic speech creates disgust,” says the Col umbus Enquirer. You’ll be worse disgusted than that, old fellow, in le-s than three weeks. Last Saturday, Prof. Grimlev, at Montreal, went np in a balloon 4000 feet, mud came down into the river.

Whether or not the Maine election was a democratic victory, it was cer tainly a republican defeat. It is an interesting question whether the result there will benefit roost the democratic or the republican party. It may h ive on the latter, the same effect that the first buttle of Manassas had on the United (Rates. It was the completes! defeat of the war—a genuine ront; bat the Confederates never won an other such victory. This election in Maine may produce over-confidence among democrats, and thus cost them more than it brings to them. On the other hand, nothing is more probable than that it will prove a most power ful stimulus to the republicans. They will act upon the idea that work, and not confidence, wins victories; while the democrats may forget it, in the exultation for the time being. There are already evidences of the stimulating effects which the Maine election is having on the republicans generally. Rumors are afloat that they are going to put 81,000,000 more into Indiana; and it is asserted positively that Bob Ingersoll proposes to be one of a thousand to contribute 81,000 each, to the campaign fund. The republicans can raise all the m<>n ey they need, and they are resolved to have New York and Indiana at any cost. Such a result, it need not be said, would be fatal to the democracy there is no possible chance to make gains which would offset the loss of those states. In New York, New Jersey, Con necticut, Indiana, and we may add California, the fight on the part of the republicans is going to be of the fierc- est character. Everything that can be done, by means fair or foul, will be done; and if the democrats content themselves with hurrahing from now till the day ol election, they will wake up to find that ttey are left far be hind. A more vigorous effort four years ago, in Oregon, would have car ried that state for the democracy, and saved the country from four years’ rule of a fraudulent president. It is very generally admitted by those who can look closely into the inner side of the present campaign, that the republicans havo thoroughly organized themselves in Florida, for a still hunt, with concealed weapons. To understand the importance ot Florida, it Is only necessary to go into a brief calculation. The 130 Southern votes, with New York 35 and Indiana 15, would give the democrats three votes more than they need; but if Florida’s four are lost, the election is lost. Again, should the democrats carry the South and New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and lose Florida, the result would be the same. So there are other possible contingen cies, in which the loss of Florida would be fatal. The policy of the democrats, then, is to be up and doing—firm in seifs reliance, but taking nothing for grant ed ; determined to win, but working as if victory depended on every vote. We do not consider the situation alarming; indeed, it is full of hope; but hope which causes over-confidence is as bad as despair. POLITICAL P0IST8. Col. Black the nominee of the first district, was not a * dark horse.’ The Colquitt boys expect to put the beer on the Norwood men, by putting Norwood on the bier. If you thirst for knowledge, run for office. You’ll find out mors than you ever dreamed of—about yourself. Come, now, is it really true that both men now running for Governor ought to be in the penitentiary ? If Coffee county goes for Colquitt, some reckless paragiapher will ray that there was Brown sugar used in that coffee. ‘Tom Norwood is a careful man,’ says an exchange. Would a careful man put himselfin the way of an ava lanche? Positively the latest—by the Macon Herald—that Gov. Colquitt claims to be a primitive Baptist, while among people of that belief. ' A storm of flies was encountered on the Hudson river last Satnrday afternoon;’ and a storm of lies, is what your uncle Alfred jPo'quitt DR. BLUNT’S PATIENT. If ever a mortal man was fitly named such was the case with Dr. Blant; the name expressed one of the strongest characteristics. Had he been called Dr. Skillful, the same could have been said of him with truth. I UAndjhen the expression on 'his fac -1 II was a faithful index of another equally strong point of character, viz: ereat kindness of heart. So quick spoken was the doctor on ordinary occasions, he uot only abbreviated sentences, but words themselves frequently suffered a veiy perceptible clipping. All the village of L was very much exercised one morning by the intelligence that the two liest rooms in Mrs. Lowell’s elegant house, which had been unoccupied for a year or more because the rent was so nigh, bad been taken by a young lady who was a real live heiress, having uo one "but herself to support and she was go ing to furuish the rooms witli.no end of costly ‘pieces’ and lovely orna ments; anu furthermore, Lawyer Peckb un who had charge of her es tate, said she was a beauty, but in very poor health, he believed. So the good natured gossip ruminated as to how sad it was that one couldn’t have everything in this world. If you have ' 8 i fofiglth, likely as not you have no * 1 | P with wipch to en,oy it; things been encountering for wirne month:??pretty even dealt out, after all*; ana so after the manner of news veil- Whenever a Norwood man goes to a place to make a speech and doesu’t get a crowd, the Norwood papers speak of it as a “discourtesy;” and may be it is. ' Anyhow it is some thing to feel bad about. A Toronto paper, alluding to Arthur’s Custom-house crookedness, asks Mr. Goldwin Smith, who believes in the absorption of Canada by the United States: “ How would he like to have such a niau reign over him?” The Thomasville Times is of the opiuion that there is one spot at any rate where Colquitt and Norwood men can meet in perfect harmony and anlty ot seutiment, and that is at the circus. Judge Buchanan, the nominee in the fourth district, is making consuls erable reputation as a stump speaker. The people know him and admired him as a jurist, but this is the first time—at least, in many years—that he has been on the stump. Some of the Norwood boys are very much troubled about the condition of the penitentiary. Doubtless the re mark made at LaGrange, by their chief—‘none of us know how soon we may get into the penitentiary ’ - has made a deep impression on them. Treasurer Reufroe was ignorant once; so ignorant that he used over 822,000 of the State’s money without knowing that it belonged to the State. He might be ignorant again; if not on this point, on some other. We prefer to vote for a man who is not ignoraut, Major Speer, the candidate ot the party, is not only willing to cariy out the law, but he knows what tfcft.lgw is—being a lawyer, of large practice. The state is now suing Mr. Renfoe for the very money which he tock w through ignorance,’’ and he is re sisting the payment. THE RIGHT THIXG. Yesterday the Banner told of an attack which had been made in an Atlanta paper the day before on Gov. Colqnitt, by Hon. Ben. C. Yancey, of Athens; and also of Gov. Colquitt’s summary and satisfactory way of dealing with it. As soon as Col. Yancey read Gov. Colquitt’s defense, he immediate'y sent the following telegram to the Constitution : Athens, SepUrabei 24.—Governor Colqnitt satisfactorily explains his disposition of the seventy five hundred dollars of agricultural money. I promptly reuder him justice. Ben. C. Yancet. This was the right thing for Col. Yancey to do, and it b what every man who knew him expected him to do. While bis attack on the Govern or was very severe, his reparation was as prompt as the case demanded. Answering Akermau’s charge, Governor Colquitt says: “So far from my being opposi d to the colored people buying land, I believe It is the way to make them the best citizens to give property right to lands. And I should sell land to them if I had the chance.” • It is funny to see how hard the Colquitt organa labor to show that to the minority alone are we indebted for the disruption in the Democratic party in the late convention.’—Wal ton County Vidette. Bless your life, sonny, the party isn’t disrupted. You’ll all get aboard the old ship again, when yonr uncle Alfred ro> sumcBlho helm. The Athens Banner is supporting D. N.

Tux World hits off the very com mon course of a republican merchant, of New.

Why don’t the Madison businessmen support it better? A STltAMiE PRINCIPLE. There is a principle involved in the approaching election, which has not been much stressed by the papers or by the publie speakers, but which has impressed itself indelibly on the minds of the people, and it will havo a large influence qn the votes. It is the ques tion of majority or minority rule. The fair-minded people—those who have not allowed their judgment to be warped by the heat of the present contest—have an abiding conviction that majorities are entitled to rule, as well In nominating conventions as popular elections; that that which will elect a man ought to be sufficient to nominate him. The objection is urged to this, that in s convention where the two-thirds rale prevails, that which nsually constitutes a majority is not a majority; but this-objection is technical, an A honest, plain people will not accept it. Iu his recent speech in Athens Geo. Lawton sdvanoed the strange doctrine that no other man than Gov. Colquitt had the power to produce harmony in the recent gubernatorial convention, because no other man had a majority of the votes. This is hardly true, as s matter of fact; for if either Col. Hardeman or Col. Lester bad with' drawn, enough of their votes would most certainly have gone to Gov. Cal- quilt to nominate him, and thus har mony would have been brought, about. But look at it not as a feet, but as political doctrine, and where will H lead ? No man can accomplish any thing by yielding, unless he lias a majority of votes I That being the case, a majority of votes is not desirs able; a candidate before a convention ought not to want a majority; a ma jority is the worse thing he can have; it should be the aim of every candi date to have only a minority. This virtually give* the minority the con trol of n convention and entirely sub* verts democratic principles. This theory baa bsen practiced un til, among Urn masses of tba people, there has grown np a deep-seated, unalterable opposition to conventions —more especially to oawv notions rating under the two-thirds rule. The prin ciple which gives the minority control of a convention, in most cases defeats the will of the people. The democrat- io party of Georgia will never submit to it again. DRIFTWOOD.

Guess my client is about to become your patient, eli?’ ‘Yes, yes,’jerked out the doctor, ‘riiouldu’i wonder,’ and he disappear- ed* A moment later Dr. Blunt entered Miss Lacey’s room. A very fair young lady reclined languidly in the sumpt- nous depths of a ‘Sleepy Hollow’ chair, but the quick experienced eye ot a medical man knew at a glance that something was wrong ; although, as Mrs. Lowell had said, she was rosy and plump, the expression of the eye was troubled, restless and morbid- The doctor seated himself beside his fair patient, felt her poise, and then ventured the remarkable query: ‘Was it me or the young doctor you wanted ?’ ‘Oil, you, by all meaus,’ said Miss Lacey with a smile, but instantly the troubled look returned. She added, *1 want all the experience possible brought to bear upon my case.’ ‘Any parents ?’ queried the doctor. ‘No, sir, my mother died of con sumption when I was very youi’g; my father died when I was a mere child.’ ‘Humph 1 Have any local pains ? Buffer from headache or nausea.?’ No, sir; nothing of tlie kind. There seems to be n fear of something all the time, an undefined apprehension; sometimes I think I may die, as moth er did, of consumption. •Got any religion ?’ ‘Why, ceitaiuly, doctor. I should hope so. I am a church member, aud have been for years. I love my re ligion.’and quick sympathetic tears affirmed the truth of the prompt as sertion. ‘Ever seen Jesus Christ sick and visited him, or naked and clothed Him, or ministered to the thousand and one wants ot the ‘little ones’ for' ever representing the Saviour’s sym bolized sufferings?’ ‘Alas, no!’ sight'd poor Miss La cey, ‘I have wauted to for years, but this nervous weakucss unfits me for anything useful or practical. I give regularly to several charitable objects, ana hope some good is done in that wav.’ ‘Humph! Well, I’m going now. Don’t know just what I shall prescribe, but feel confident I can help you. Perhaps I’ll ran in again before night with directions, bless me, what look ing glows I Will you mend tbeso for for me, my dear ?* ‘Certainly, with pleasure,’ laughed Miss Lacey, and for that instant there was no trouble in her clear eyes. You see, raid the doctor apologeti cally ‘my housekeeper isn’t much on mending, according to my idea, and then there’s only my boy, the young doctor, as people call him—the most graceless piece. As for wife,’ and the voice grew wonderfully tender—dear wife has beeu singing in Paradise, these dozen yean or more. The door opened and closed softly, and the doctor was gone. ‘What a funny doctor 1 What a queer dear old gentleman 1’ thought Miss Lacey; *and these gloves 1 Well, I have a piece ot work here, no mistake; must get out my pieoe-bmg but pray the gude God to spare me one ewe lamb an’ it be his will He I has practiced w : th his father the year or more, and how the auld doctor loves him * He has a funny way of calling him all kind cf funny names, irot iveryone knows he is the light of the old man’s eyes.’ And soon after Mrs. Cameron gathered up her basket and departed. 1 J* Miss Lacey had succeeded in dos* ing up the gaping rents in the doctor’s gloves, the tea hour had come and gone, but no doctor bad re-appeared. ‘ Ob, he thinks me too comfortable a patient to need much attention,* she thought rcpiningly, * but he might have at least have told me what my complaint was. There! the bell rings; perhaps that is he now.’ And that moment a rap at the door being answered, Dr. Blunt entered, nurriAdly flushed, and more abrupt iu manner and speech than before. * Say, my ai-ar girl, will you help a poor woman in great extremity ?> 4 What do you mean, doctor ?» * Oli, get your hat and shawl, and come now. You’ve no hnsband to consult, no children to leave, and a poor woman is in danger of losing her only child this night, and some one must watch with her. I must be off in another direction. My dear child,* again that leader tone, • wouldn’t you like to hear your Savior say to you to-morrow mof uing: ‘ In asmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these ye did it unto me?’ 1 Oh, I’ll go doctor; I’ll be ready in a moment.* ‘ Better take off that long trained dress and don a good sensible calico; I’ll go down to the parlor,’ added the doctor ‘ and wait and take you right along in the buggy with roe. Quick, now; I couldn’t wait long for the Queen of Sheba.’ ‘ Well, of all things!’ thoight Miss Lacy. ‘ I don’t know but that doctor will be the death of me, or, perhaps his strange method will be the making of me.’ She flew about the room in a sur prising mauner for her; donned a good warm morning dress, and in an other moment the doctor’s horse was tearing along the road as it to outrun his master’s impatience. Yet during the ride the doctor explained to his companion how she must be very calm—‘and you canjie,’ he added w'uh convincing emphasis, for the child was suffering from spasms quite violent, distressing and dangerous. He told briefly how the baths must be administered, and the water kept hot all night; and finally in mention ing the patient’s name, surprised Miss Lacey by revealing the feet that it was poor little Janie Cameron, who had been taken ill that very after noon, during her mamma’s absence.

Presently there came a knock at the door, and Mr*. Cameron was ad. milted, the ‘very respectable Scotch woman whom Mrs. Lowell bad rec ommended as a first-class laundress, neat, honest and a church member. The .woman bore in her arms a goodly-sized basket in which were various articles of clothing beautifully done up. As Miss Lacey rose to re ceive them, Mrs Cameron remarked: ‘Perhaps some one is side in tlie house. 1 saw the doctor gang away just as I was cornin’ in.’ ‘I was not feeling well,’ answered Mira Lacey. ‘He came to see me.’ ■Oh, did he, miss! an’ isn’t the auld gentleman jis’ lovely ?* and in most enthusiastic terms she told of the great goodness and kindness experienced at the doctor’s bands.

Oh, the most grace less biped!’ and be was gone. Miss Lacey reflected with great satisfaction the next day that not one thought oould she remember having bestowed upon herself during that long, painful night, with its new ex periences of real snfiering. All her energies and sympathies were diiected toward helpiug and comforting the agonized mother and relieving the sick child. About midnight as she was beuding over a warm bath, iu which she was firmly holding the convulsed frame of poor Janie, the door opened and the young doctor entered. There was uo sort of an iutroduction between the two; who thinks of formalities at such a time ?—but at once they work ed together over the suffering child. Miss Lacey was vaguely aware that a young man, bearded and mustached. with a calm, deep voice and shapely white hands, gave orders which she promptly obeyed, and spoke words of hope aud encouragement to the poor dazed mother. It did not once occur !o her that there was anytbiug novel in her position, as, holding the child in her arms, (Quietly at last, the young doctor sat dose beside ber, askinj questions and giving advice, now and then turning down a corner ot the blauket to watch the changing ex pression of the little sleeper’s face.
