WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1875.
THE ELECTION.
A QUIET DAY AND FULL VOTE.
Hon. Chas. Estes Re-Elected Mayor.
He Receives a Handsome Majority.
REJOICING.
Complimentary Vote for Dr. L D. Fordj
At an early hour Wednesday Dec. Ist,
the gentlemen managing the two oppo
sing branches of candidates for Mayor
and Members of Council, commenced
to prepare for the fray. Carriages and
wagons were prepared for the business
in hand, and refreshments of various
kinds were prepared or ordered from
the different restaurants and hotels.
Some of the refreshments must have
been of a liquid kind, or else some of
the gentlemen were not used to
smoking very strong cigars, as their
gait was somewhat of the character of
a landsman on shipboard in a heavy
gale.
The liquor saloons served no custom
ers during the hours for holding the
election—from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m.—and
from personal observation we should
judge the law directing their closing
was rigidly enforced.
Quiet preparations had been fully
made by Chief Christian, assisted by
his able Lieutenants, to preserve the
public peace through the police force,
and it must be gratifying to our citi
zens to know that there was not a sin
gle case of actual disorder in the en
tire city, arising from the political con
test so warmly waged on both sides.
We have certainly one of the finest
bodies of police in this country, and
their gentlemanly conduct of yes
terday, fine appearance and strict at
tention to duty, merits all the
praise that was generously and freely
given by all. It is to be hoped here
after that all reflection on them—either
upon their character as men, or at
tempts to deprive them of their unde
niable privilege of exercising the rights
of an American citizen—will be es
chewed in the future. They are a
bulwark of strength, on which we lean
to protect our homes and our lives, and
let all treat them according to their
deserts.
In the First and Third Wards it
was remarkably quiet all day, not a
riffle disturbing the serenity of the
gentlemen engaged in receiving the
paper bullets.
In the Second Ward, there was some
little excitement created early in the
day, when a gentlemen, who has taken
an active part in the canvass against
Mr. Estes, objected to card ballots,
claiming that under the law (what law?)
the ballots should be printed on paper
so that they could be folded easily.
This objection was met quickly by
the destruction of all the card ballots,
and the substitution of paper ones.
At the Upper Market House, where
the poll of the Fourth Ward was being
held', a barrier had been erected, leav
ing a narrow passage for the voter to
pass through in front of the window,
where the ballots were received, and it
prevented a crowd from gathering and
interfering with the voting.
At this point, the colored people
mustered strong, and some of the
more enthusiastic ones among them
had ballots pinned all over their clothes
and stuck in their hats. It is the first
time in many years that these dark
skinned sons of Ham have been on the
winning side in this city, and they en
joyed it mightily.
During the middle of the day and
during the closing two hours of the
balloting, the vote was light, owing
possibly to the weather, appearances
indicating a fail of rain, which passed
off, however, in slight sprinkles. Early
in the day, the election was conceded
to Mr. Estes, and by noon the im
pression generally amongst his friends
was that a full vote would undoubtedly
be cast and his majority would be
about one thousand. Undoubtedly if
his friends had not been fully
convinced of his re-election, they would
have turned out stronger than they
did, but being morally certain of his
success, many of them did not vote.
The large number of votes received by
Dr. Ford was a surprise to many who
made calculations upon the probable
result. It was a highly complimentary
vote to that distinguished gentleman,
and had he not entered the field at so
late a period he would have polled a
larger vote.
Interest died out after the closing of
the polls, and when the results were
officially promulgated at the City Hall,
there was not a dozen persons present
outside of the gentlemen who acted as
managers of the election. It was nearly
six o’clock before the returns of the
last Ward (Fourth) were handed in, and
under the direction of Mr. Blome, the
Clerk of Council, the returns were con
solidated, and the following certificate
was drawn up and signed:

Dr. Wharton’s Resignation.
We have been favored with a copy of
Rev. Dr. Wharton’s letter of resigna
tion, which is as follows :
Augusta, Ga., November 25th, 1875.
7b the First Baptist Church, Oreene street,
Augusta, Ga.:
Dear Brethren : When I accented your
call in February last, being in feeble health,
I did so on condition that only one regular
sermon should bo required of me on the
Saobath until my health became stronger,
promising to substitute for the Sundav
night's sermon a more informal service.
The meetings were thus conducted until
church was closed for repairs. On re
opening the church, November Ist, the
opinion was expresse I by prominent breth
ren, in which I heartily concurred, that the
good of the church demanded that the
night’s sermon could not be dispensed with,
and that the social meeting could not take
its place in holding the congregation to
gether. X am unable to perform the addi
tional service required. I have tried the
experiment of preaching at night in oppo
sition to the advice of eminent physicians,
and held two regular Sabbath services since
re-entering the church, but only at the cost
of great physical prostration. Duty to my
self and to God demands that I should not
repeat the experiment until my health is
improved. Nothing, therefore, remains
but for me to tender you my resignation,
which I do, trusting that God may send you
one who physically, as well as otherwise,
may meet all the demands of the situation.
In being providentially compelled to thus
sever my connection with the church, it
gives me pleasure to bear testimony to
your uniform kindness and co-operation in
my labors; and we may rejoice together
over the success of our cause which, under
God, bears so many evidences of promise
and prosperity.
Trusting that you may continue to keep
the “unity of the spirit in the bonds of
peace,” I am, your affectionate pastor,
. M. B. Wharton,
. f. K—This resignation is designed to
take effect January Ist.
NEW FLORIDA ROUTE.
Big Dinner—We were not Invited.
Savannah, December I.—The Junc

to-day, and trains passed over. A large
delegation from this city met the dele

and the two trains came on together.
The competition of this line gives

North to Florida, and Southern Geor

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
The Vice-President and Bitter Water
Sensational Report that He was
Poisoned —The Speakership Scram
ble—Arrival of Members—Mr. Ste
phens Missed—Ferry’s Successor —
Chandler on the Rampage—Frauds
Babcock and Jewell —Odds and
Ends.
[From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, D. C., Nov. 27,1875.
The proper honors were paid to the
deceased Vice-President on Friday last
Although it was a most Inclement day
there was a large turn-out of the local
military, under command of General
Emory, and of distinguished officials in
carriages, forming a most imposing
cortege, which escorted the remains to
the depot, whence they were trans
ported to Baltimore, where they were
received with befitting solemnity. One
of the evening papers of this city pub
lished a startling rumor to the effect
that the Vice-President was poisoned
by mistake, the theory being that the
“hitter water,’’ of which he partook
just after he arose, contained strichnia.
No one, however, credits the story. It
is set down as a sensational canard.
Much comment has also been excited
on account of the haste with which the
surgeons proceeded to make the
autopsy, that being commenced within
two or three hours after his dissolu
tion.
All the prominent candidates for
Speaker and Clerk are now on the
ground, each of course, fondly im
agining that he is the coming man.
It is hard to predict with any
sort of certainty who will be elect
ed. One man will assure you that
Kerr’s hard money doctrines togother
with his incorruptible integrity will
win the day, while others, with equal
faith and zeal, will point to Mr. Ran
dall’s gallant fight against the Force
bill last winter, and his many claims to
be a leader, and predict his triumphant
election. Cox and Wood have their
supporters, but the contest has evi
dently narrowed down to Kerr and
Randall.
Many members have arrived and
more are coming in every day. It has
been said that Hon. Mr. Stephens, of
Georgia, will be too ill to be present at
the opening of the House and may,
probably, not be here at all. This will
be a matter of regret, not alone to
brother members, who will miss his
clear head and able statesmanship, but
to the whole country, who recognize in
him almost the last survivor of a race of
intellectual giants who flourished in the
earlier days of the present century.
It is confidently to be hoped the report
will prove unfounded. One of the
most noteworthy facts in connection
with the incoming House is that a
majority of its members are new men.
They are, for the most part, men who
have their political reputations to
make. This may well be considered a
fortunate circumstance at this junc
ture, since they can the more readily
adapt themselves to the changed con
dition of our country, and therefore
act untrammeled by the issues and
political theories of the past. Radical
papers have already begun to foretell
the terrible measures which would bo
passed by the Democratic majority.
They simply go upon the principle that
they (Democrats) will follow the ex
ample of the Republicans and make
asses of themselves, an assumption
entirely unwarranted and ridiculous.
No nomination has ever given more
universal satisfaction than that of Mr.
English, to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the death of Senator Ferry, of Con
necticut. In the affections of the De
mocracy, he stands upon tho same
footing as Thurman, Bayard and Til
den, and is a worthy colleague of the
noble Eaton.
Z. Chandler, Esq., recently of Michi
gan, is still on the rampage. “Pip and
Joe,” in “Great Expectations,” never
looked with more anxious eyes for the
return of “Mrs. Joe” than do the poor,
trembling clerks await each day the
dreadful tidings that their daily bread
and butter has been sacrificed to the
omnivorous appetite of the Hon. Zack.
Poor fellows! it’s bad enough to depend
upon the uncertain favor of princes or
the gratitude of republics, but to be
thrown upon the tender mercies of the
ex-Senator from Michigan is indeed
hard fate. The Secretary is ridding the
Patent, Indian and other bureaus under
his control of the lukewarm Republi
cans, of all who refuse to devote a
portion of the pittance doled out to
them to the bribery fund, called by
courtesy “election expenses”), and, in
fact, all who refuse to bow their heads
in abject submission to the Baal of
Radicalism. Under the rule of the
party iu power a man who accepts a
position, however humble, must do so
at the sacrifice of his independence;
must become an automaton in the
hands of party managers like Ed
munds, and, in fact, be reduced to a
mere machine. All this is wrong—rad
ically wrong. In nothing is civil service
reform more needed. It remains for
our party to make the change and to
prove that a man may be its useful,
independent servant, without being its
abject 61a ve.
The frauds in the Pension Office will
soon be brought to light. This bureau
is said to be altogether the most cor
rupt under the present administration.
Its officers are a set of old fogies who
have attached themselves to the bureau
like barnacles, and cling to it with as
much tenacity as those animals do to a
ship. Most of them never saw a battle
field iu their lives, except perhaps
through a long range telescope, and
therefore have not the slightest sym
pathy with those bravo men who fought
for the cause of the Union. The length
of time necessary to get a claim through
the Pension Office is exactly in au in
verse ratio to its amount. If the claim
is large and there is a chance for a
“make” it is rushed through like a
streak of lightning, but if it happens
to be a small claim in favor of some
indigent wounded soldier, who cannot
afford to do without it, why the case of
Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce is not a circum
stance to the delay and investigation
which is deemed necessary. The
“modus operandi” is somewhat as fol
follows: The soldier must first furnish
a certificate of tho surgeon who dis
charged him. If he happens to be dead
the applicant has an increase of trouble
and expense, since he must then hunt
from Maine to California, to procure
certificates of his discharge from no
end of captains, majors, colonels and
generals, all involving expense and de
lay, until the poor fellow either gives
up his case in despair or finds, when
allowed, that fees and costs have re
duced it to almost nothing. When a
soldier applies for an increase of his
pension then the heart of the Pension
Office waxeth glad; for then detectives
must be employed, who feel such a
profound interest in Uncle Sam’s affairs
that they are willing to devote day and
night to his servioe when liberally paid
for it. Physicians must be feed, in
order that they may certify upon their
professional honor, whether the appli
cant has ever, since his discharge, been
able to rock the baby’s cradle or do
“chores” around the house. If he (the
soldier) has been flat of his back for
the space of eighteen months, unable
to do anything except open his mouth
or wink, he stands a fair chance, but if
he has ever been seen toting a stick of
stove-wood for his wife or trundling a
wheelbarrow, woe to his petition, for it
is ten chances to one that it will
be tied up with a piece of red string
and be “cast into the uttermost depths”
of the pension records, there to await
the final resurrection.
The public here are rather more
than half convinced that O. E. Babcock
and Orvil Grant have a hand in the
St. Louis whiskey frauds. Old Bris
tow is after the whole lot, and writes
to U. S. Attorney Dyer, to “ kill and
spare not.”
It was thought that perhaps Post
master General Jewell would resign, as
the President rather snubbed him in
the Mississippi postmaster eases, but
as the promised commissions have been
withheld, the opinion gains ground that
Mr. Jewell holds the winning cards.
Robeson has been making a fearful blus
ter for a week or two, but it is all “fuss
and feathers.” Nobody is excited ex
cept himself, and we suppose it will
end, like his former demonstration, in
a sudden and fearful demand for ship
timber, which some good Radical con
tractor will be allowed to fill at the
highest figures.
The death of Senator Ferry gives the
Democracy three more votes in the
Senate.
In my next I shall give your readers
some idea of the location and general
contour of Washington, together with
a few comments on the manners and
customs of its inhabitants, the public
buildings and other points of interest.
In the meantime, I sign myself.
John Quill.
A Youthful Smoker.
To the Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette:
I submit herewith a case well known
in Bradford J unction, 0., which, while
exhibiting probably the earliest age at
which a taste for tobacco smoking has
been acquired, may suggest something
as to the relationship existing between
appetites natural and acquired, and at
the same time prove of interest to
those disposed to observe the hygienic
effects of tobacco on the human sys
tem. A baby boy was weaned with
considerable difficulty at the age of
two years. All the usual substitutes
provided to bamboozle urchins in such
cases wore indignantly rejected by our
subject; food was refused, and what
with hunger and constant fretting he
suffered nervously and his health failed
to such a degree as to occasiou serious
alarm. He suffered, too, from an ex
cess of saliva on his little stomach, a
disease which mammas probably more
fully understand than does your bach
elor correspondent. For " tho pur
pose of temporarily pacifying him,
his father, an inveterate smo
ker, occasionally yielded to the
child’s entreaties, by withdrawing the
cigar from his own mouth and allow
ing the boy to puff at it for a short
while at a time, in his own way. It was
observed from the beginning that the
new found substitute for the maternal
fount invariably gave entire satisfac
tion; the stomachic complaint disap
peared; the child acquired an appetite
for food, and began to thrive. But the
appetite for smoking increased oven
more rapidly. From a few little imita
tive puffs at the beginning the child
grew into smoking a whole cigar a day,
and increased the number until in a
year or so he consumed from ten to
twelve cigars daily. It was noticed that
he suffered in health, suffered nervous
ly, and lost flesh; and that mentally he
had little of tho healthy curiosity or
fresh interest in the little things around
him characteristic of children of his
age. The quantity was gradually re
duced to four or live cigars a day, and
he continues now at that number, with
every appearance of good health and
bodily growth. C.

LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
A Political Earthquake—Chances of a
Radical Mayor—The] Candidates—
Reign of Burglary—Hon. Alexander
Dimitry’s Lecture.
[From our Regular Correspondent.]
Atlanta, November 30,1875.
The city is stirred up. From the
bottom strata of her crimson founda
tion to the loftiest point of her tallest
lightning rod, around which kiesfully
play the blissful breezes brewed on
Kennesaw’s cloud-touching summit
there are unmistakable signs of a
sausage-meat condition of things. The
even tenor of its progressive way is
disturbed. The -e are obstacles filling
the grooves of enterprise, wherein is
wont to majestically roll the ponderous
wheel of ennobling enterprise. The
bustling populace are as so many
scrambled eggs—that doubtful con
glomeration of the good, bad and coolly
indifferent—and need constant stirring
to destroy the defects of one and bring
out more boldly the virtues of the
other, provided an egg is possessed of
virtues. However, this is all figura
tive.
The fact is, there is a firstrate chance
for the election of a Radical ticket to
morrow. You see the Democrats have
just rocked along easily, considered the
opposing party a barbarous relic only,
but the barbarous relic was too busy—
They hustled their forces together, and
inscribed their classic names upon the
registration books until the said books
were heavy with the breath of ourang
blossms that bloom in the midst of
Africa’s burning sands. Then when
Mi. Drowsy, Democrat, drew near, and
over the rim of his spectacles, saw
this manumit majority, his eyelids
Hew apart as an oyster opes his shell,
his lips ambled to a prodigious pucker
and he gave voluminous vent to a
whooping whistle. That escape of
suddenly surprised steam was heard
far and near. It was the tuneless toc
sin for a terrific tussle. It wound its
warbling warmth around the cold cot
tages of the common cuss, and its ge-
D u al £ 1 . a “ or S lowed in the high halls of
the hifalutin. Its warming notes rang
out loud and long through every street
and lane, the high-ways and the by
ways, and circled the suburbs with the
certainty and effectiveness of a ring
worm. Therefore, as a natural se
quence, there was a gathering of the
clans. The proud old Democracy pro
claimed in tones rivalling those of
Stentor, that every man who lived un
der its fair ascutcheon should register
at once. Rip-roaring and now rabidly
rampant Radicalism, promulgated its
potent pronunciamento, and called
upon its few but fearless followers, to
go and do Villainous vehi
cles volunteered to transport the mem
bers of either party to the registration
window, and the town was lively
on this the last registration day
THE TICKETS.
The Democratic ticket is composed
of good men chosen by the people,
lhe other ticket bears the names of
men who have chosen themselves and
hanker after office. Possibly this last
ticket would be elected to-morrow had
not the Democrats worked so hard
to-day. The Radical or “People’s
licket, as it is called, finds many sup
porters among the lukewarm Demo
crats, because they say they will vote
for anybody rather than support mem
bers of a ring. A ring! Great Jupiter !
a ring in .our midst. Shades of Tweed
and Sweeney, can such things be? A
ling existing, with all its venomous
corruption, right here in a city whose
limits are almost within earshot. Ah,
some people can see everything. Thev
can see hair sprout spontaneously from
the most immacu'ate hash. These
cold-blooded wie'.deis of Democratic
influence, like the wife of Blue Beard
stand gazing down the long road of
independence, and every cloud of dust
reveals a ring to help them out an
‘ impoverished condition.” By means
of their foggy foresight they foresee
dire damage to the great city should
this ring hold sway. Poor fellows 1 It’s
a P l ,^— dppJorabie, to be sure-we
didnt have a ring here, just to allow
this independent party a chance to
nrig in.
To-morrow will be lively again. The
election promises to be exciting as the
various candidates are determined.
The guzzling gurgle of gin-twist and
the beautiful bubble of beer will
mingle with the voice of the van
quished and victorious, and tho cold
comforts of the city calaboose will
await the bacchanalian revellers as the
observing stars peep out to-morrow
night.

Mayor Hammock has issued a procla

Between the setting and rising of the
glorious sun, the burglarious gentle
man stalks forth and appropriates
such articles as lay within his far

mosquitos in August and just about as
troublesome. Every night they lessen
the load of some victim and hide away

unwept if unhonored and unsung A
favorite pastime with them is to ele

slide in among the provisions. They
seem to have quite a fancy for this
kind of pelf. But they are not very
particular. They would take as good
care of a diamond pin as they would of
a canvassed jiam. Nothing as yet has
been devised by which their apprecia

experiment. They are very careful not
to expose themselves.
LECTURE.
Dr. Alexander Dimitry, of New Or
leans, lectures to-night for the benefit
of the Young Men’s Library. Subject:
“The Fitness of Creation for the Exist
ence of Man.” In my humble opinion
he will have about one hundred hearers
to-night, but of that hundred, there
will probably be about two who will
listen attentively and appreciate the
learned doctor’s lecture. This deep
solid stylo won’t do. We don’t care a
straw about the fitness of creation for
our existence, nor any other man. Give
us something light and digestible
something in keeping with the age. Let
the few whose tastes incline to the
solving of unsoluable problems of sci
ence, the study of metaphysics, and
the listening to of musty dissertations
on dry subjects, go their own way; but
when you call out the people—the
great mass—give us Saxe, Gough, Anna
Dickinson, or Anna-body else who can
talk to us in every day talk and
erase, not create the wrinkles on our
mu S B . Martha.

American Genius-Moody and Saniiey.
—-the great revivalists. Messrs. Moody and
sankey, who electritied staid old England
with their eloquence and enthusiasm, are
fair samples of American genius. Spring
ing from among the common people, their
sympathies are alive to the wants of the
whole people, and herein lies the secret of
their great success. Those who seek to be
popular must study and be familiar with
the wants of the masses, and prove loyal
thereto. To this fact we may trace the
grand success in business, as well as in re
ligious undertakings, which many Ameri
cans havo achieved. Strikingly illustra-
Uve of these suggestions is that great es
tablishment. located at Buffolo, N. Y. and
known as the “ World’s Dispensary a
most appropriate name indeed, for that
vast institution, within whose walls are
manufactured remedies which are in de
mand in every quarter of tho globe, and at
winch a corps of distinguished physicians
and surgeons, under the personal di
rection of Dr. Pierce, are constantly
administering to the needs of thous
ands of sufferers everywhere, and whoso
success in the treatment of all forms
of chronic ailments has become so well
known that there is scarcely a hamlet in
the land in which his name is not familiar.
Its proprietor, says the Herald and Torch
light, of Detroit, “is a man of the people,
writes for them, and to them tenders his
eminent professional services.” His ad
vertisements are earnest exhortations.—
Like the great revivali-ts, Ms enthusiasm
is_ mul ipiied by the unparalleled success of
his enterprise, as well as by the efficacy of
us remedies in curing disease. The people,
believe in him and his remedies, because, as
the New York Tribune, says, “he sympa
thizes with them in ail their afflictions, ef
iortsaud attainments.” Hence, Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery is to-day more
largely employed as a blood and liver med
icine, and also as a cough remedy, than any
other remedial agent in tho world. His
Favorite Prescription, he does not recom
mend as a “cure-all,” as is so often done
by compound-rs of worthless, humbug
nostrums, but for all diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women it has proved it
self so much of a specific that it now en
joys great popularity and universal confi
denee. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, 'scarcely larger than mustard
seed, have proved so agreeable and re
liable as a cathartic that they are rapidly
taking the place of tho large, nauseous
puls heretofore so much in use; while his
Compound Extract of Smart-Weed is a fa
vorite remedy for Colic, Cramps, Summer
Complaint, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera
and cholera Morbus, and also as a liniment.
Ur Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and Dr
Pierce s Nasal Douche, little need be said!
as they are known everywhere as the
greatest Specifics for Catarrh and "cold in
the head’’ ever given to the public. And
besides this large measure of success, Dr.
t lerce seems likely to achieve as great re
nown as an author as he has as a Dhvsi
cian. His Common Sense Medical Ad
viseb, a book of about 900 pages, which he
sells at the un: aralled low price of $1 50
has already been sold to the extent of ex
hausting two editions amounting to fortv
thousand copies. The secret of Dr
Pierce’s success, as well as that of the
great revivalists, and scores of other Amer
icans, who by their genius have advanced
step by step from obscurity to affluence
and distinction, consists in treating the
people with consideration, sympathy ean
dor and honesty. No man, who hopes to
attain either wealth or distinction, can
afford to deal unfairly with the world or be
indifferent to. the wants and test inter
ests of humanity. nov3o-tuthsa&c
