NUMBER 32
Important Proclamation by the Gorernor
Wo publish this morning an important proc
lamation by the Governor in relation to tho
appointment of managers provided in section
four .of tho Election Law. Whilst the lan
guage of the law providing for the nomination
of two of the five managers by the Ordinaries,
is too plain to be misundsntood, wo axe glad
the Governor has taken every precaution to
avoid the possibility of a misunderstanding on
this point It is quite evident that the law
contemplates the nomination by (he Ordinaries
and confirmation by the Senate, the same as
in the case of the three nominated by the
Governor. Still we are glad that his Excellency
took the precaution to ask the Senate’s con
struction, before issuing the proclamation, as
nothing should occur to invalidate or prevent
an election. The Message of the Governor on
this point will be found elsewhere, and will be
read with interest. His great desire seems to
be that nothing shall occur to prevent the
holding of an election in Dooember, and that
this election shall be fair and legal, and that
nothing shall occur to invalidate it.
Death of General bee.
Robert E. Loo is no more on earth. The
tidings will fill thousands of hearts with
mourning and sadness. He was a noble type
of manhood, and enjoyed the respect of all the
old army officers against whom his fortunes
were cast during the late Rebellion. He was a
man of truth, of courage, and of high executive
abilities; and he was a Christian gentleman
no less than n skillful military leader. Origi
nally a Union man, he opposed the mad
scheme of disintegration; but like thousands
of tho ablest and best men in the armies of
the late Confederacy, he yielded his judgment
to the decision of his State, and responded to
his sympathies for the people of his immedi
ate section.
After the war, his conduct was such as to
win him the confidence and esteem of all right
minded men everywhere. Ho sought to live
os a private gentleman, yielded a faithful and
uncomplaining allegiance to the Government;
and unlike many cf his subordinate officers
who were ambitions for civic honors, discour
aged the insano counsels of further resistance
to tho policy and laws of a Government to
which he had renewed his allegiance. Hod
the Democratic politicians of the Sonth, who
wrought the war, been actuated by the same
motives that inspired General Lee,
Reconstruction had not been delayed
until five long, weary years after the surren
der at Appoinatox.
The walking John Diinmy, whose name
presides over the editorial columns of a Sa
vannah paper, is very much interested in the
Georgia State Fair, which is to open here in a
few days. The jovial old soaktsl is not con
tent with sneering at Mr. Kimball, bnt is very
nnhappy lest somebody from Savannah will
be present at tho Fair. We have seldom wit
nessed the some degree of littleness connected
with the newspaper press, even, where Benzine
is the leading spirit, and where Bacchus was
tho presiding deity.
The Key Stone State.
“As goes Pennsylvania, so goes the Union'
is an old motto in tho dialect of American pol
itics. And the indications are that the Re
publicans have made heavy gains iu Pennsyl
vania. In addition to greatly increased ma
jorities, they havo gained two Congressmen.
Is this the way Mr. Stepans’ party is going to
“shake the country from center to circumfer
ence ?”
What are the Imuci In the Election.
A Democratic paper in the Southern section
of this State, says Federal politics will not
enter into the issues of the approaching elec
tion. It says Georgia Democrats care noth
ing about Tariff, Pacific Railroads, the Fund
ing Bill, or anything of that kind. And so
far as Reconstruction and Constitutional
Amendments are concerned, the “organ” re
minds Democrots that Judge Stephens re
signed his position in consequence of talking
too freely upon that subject!
“What then are the issues ?" asks this Dem
ocratic oracle. Ah indeed, that’s the rub!
Bnt hear what tho “organ** aforesaid says in
response to this, its most potent enquiry;
"The main Uano in which we are concerned Is the
administration of onr State goverame'it, and the char*
acter of the Legislature, soon to be elected."
Now this is lucid to a degree that chal
lenges onr unqualified admiration. It is a
clear and succinct statement of the precise
thing which the Democracy aims at The
leaders of that party in Georgia care nothing
about Federal taxation, the completion of the
Reconstruction policy, the enforcement of the
Constitutional amendments, the Southern Pa
cific Railway—nothing iu fact pertaining to Na
tional politics! They have very considerately
surrendered all that All that now vex their
honest souls is “the administration of_onr
State Government” Ah! Give them the
offices, and then all will be lovely! The un
selfish patriotism of this “Democracy” is one
of tho marvels of the Nineteenth Century!
Gen. Young aiul his Party,
The circumstances under which General
Young became a candidate fi r Representative
from the Seventh District in the 41st and 42d
Congresses, pledges him to the policy of hos
tility to tho Government It pledges him to
uncompromising hostility to the Reconstruc
tion Acts, to the constitutional amendments,
to the new Constitution of the State, and to
the State government under which he seeks
position. It pledges him in opposition to the
policy of Impartial Suffrage, and makes him
a solicitor of the votes of a large class of
citizens, to whom he denies the right to vote
at all 1 He and his friends ask colored men
to vote for him, when they, at the same time,
believe such votes to be “unconstitutional” and
the result of devolution and fraud.” He asks
the suffrage of colored men to aid him
and his party iu disfranchising colored men,
by aiding him and his party in undoing the
work of reconstruction and rescinding the
XTVth aud XVth Amendments. He and bis
party ask Union men to vote for him, when
acoordiog to hisown party creed, these same
Union men are “on worthy the'confidence and
support of tho Southern people;”and they are
thus unworthy because they did not sympathize
with the Secession movement, and therefore
because they are not obnoxious to the XIYth
Article.
In ether words, the ticket of which General
Young is head, represents the Democratic par-
of 1860. It represents the theory of “State
Sovereignty,” and ultimate local allegiance.
It represents, therefore, the dogma of Secession.
represents the Constitutional right of any
one State in the Union to break np the “com
pact,” and to destroy the National Govern
ment upon any pretext that the individual
State may see proper to offer! It represents
the proposition that “tho war settled no po
litical question;” and, consequently, that the
distracting issues of 18C1 have not been set
tled, bnt only adjourned until a more conve
nient season. In short, it represents the iden
tical political heresies which plunged the
country into .civil war, and which desolated
the whole Southern land, and beggared the
Southern people.
Now it remains to be seen how many col
ored men will support this ticket! We await
with some curiosity to see how many Union
men will support it! It remains to be seen
how many conservative Democrats will sup
port a ticket the success ef which will effectu
ally exclude all except the old leaders and
representatives of the Secession Democracy
from positions of favor and emolument! Are
they going to vote to place men in power who
represent a faction that can see no virtue, or
honor, or patriotism, or morality, nor any
thing lovely, in any men or set of men who
would not restore the old Proscriptive Democ
racy, and acknowledge the divine right of its
violent and reckless leaders to rule ?
Personally, General Young may be a clever
gentleman; but no man, representing such
principles, or seekiug the accomplishment of
such an end, can hope for the suffrages of a
people who consider that the war did settle the
issues promulgated by the South Carolina
Nullifiers in 1832—issues which were nurtured
into a devastating Rebellion in 1861, and
which have cost the Southern people so much
trouble and anxiety for the past uino years.
Thousands of Southern men who periled
their lives in defense of the Southern cause, and
who bore the brunt of a war precipitated by
General Young's proscriptive party, will not
now vote for him ; and this simply because
they deem it worse than madness to fight their
battleso ver again, either at the ballot-box or in
the tented field. They have had enough of
war and Democratic dictation. Henceforth
they want Peace, free speech, a free press,
free ballot, and a united and prosperous
country ; a country aspiring to the dignity of
Nationality, and whose existence is not
dependent upon .the caprices and selfish am
bition of the leaders of that party which has
made two ineffectual efforts to destroy it with
in the last thirty years.
THE ROME COMMERCIAL, (DEM.)
In an article reviewing theaction of the Sen
ate in their response to the inquiry of the
Governor relative to their construction of the
4th clause of the election law, says :
We think the time has past for the people of
this State to stand idly by and see themselves
outraged in this manner, and make no attempt
to stay the hands of the assassins who are
standing ready to rob them of every inheri
tance. Delays are dangerous. Unless the
people rise in their power and hurl these base,
oad men from the places they are disgracing,
the time will not be long before they will be
called upon to surrender every right of free
men.
We are assured that the Akerwan Election
Bill is unconstitutional. If so, it is the duty
of the people to resist its enforcement.

Tho Savannah Republican is dimatisBed
with tho change of the ‘■Southern" to that of
the “National" Commercial Convention,
a reason for this dissent, it urges the tact that
the Northern States are interested in a Pro
tective Tariff; and, further, that “all the
bounties of the Government have been monop
olised by the North daring the past ten years.'
As regards the first, the Republican might
know, if it wonld, that the Sonth as a manu
facturing section will be as much interested
in Protection as the North; and that the Sonth
will become a country of mannfactnres, no
man who has given the subject a moment's
reflection doubts. It Is only a question of
time.
Tho second objection seems very childish.
"Ten years" takes us back to 1860. No one
expected the South to share, mucK less to
monopolise, the bounties of the Government
daring the period intervening between Seces
sion and Reconstruction. And one of the
strongest arguments in favor of reconstruction
upon the basis of the Republican policy, was
that it wonld placo the Sonth in a position to
share a bounty of which she was originally
deprived by the madness and folly of her Dem
ocratic leaders. Henceforth we shall be in a
position to share this bounty, provided the old
Secession dogma and its insane advocates and
apologists,can each be allowed to remain where
tho issue of the war assigned them.
The President's Proel»m»t!oi
That the President is anxious, if possible,
to use his good offices to bring about a peace
between the European belligerents, there can
be little doubt All well authenticated reports
corroborate this statement. The President
seems to be of opinion that our Government
wonld thereby be made stronger in the eyee of
the European nations, and in this he is sup
ported by the intelligent public sentiment of
the oountry. His Proclamation which we pub
lish this morning is of especial interest.
Modern Warfare.
If modern science has made wars more de
structive, itfalso tends to makojthexn of shorter
duration. If more men are killed at a single
battle than were formerly at twenty, it is
also true that one battle is generally mors de
cisive than were twenty in the days of Chorla
magne. Science, therefore, really ameliorates
the hardships of war; aud it does this by mak
ing war more terrible and destructive. If men
are killed on the field, fewer die of starvation
and if an invading army is more desolating
under the modern appliances, tho repair is
sooner made by the application of science to
agriculture and the practical business of life.
A few years ago Northe:n Georgia was a wil
derness of fenceless farms and charred chim
neys. It seemed incredible that tho country
could be restored to its former prosperity
within a decade. That was only four years
ago; and yet the country is already more pros
perous and more fertile m resources, than it
has ever been.
The greater part of France is now a scene
of devastation. The march of the Federal
army through Northern Georgia, was a mild
affair compared with that of the Prussian
forces through the North of France. And yet,
such is the recuperative powers of the Anglo-
Saxon race under the atimnlns of modern
science, that the districts marched overby the
Prussian forces sixty days ago, are already be
ginning to show signs of renewed energy. And
the war once dosed, and peace securely made,
leaving the French people a good and stable
government, France will be more pros
perous five years hence, than the ever was
before.

Prof. Huxley of England, whoso lecture on

another hobby. In his ethnological researches,
he has become cognizant of tbe fact that there

What is true of large cities in England is
doubtless relatively true of large cities in
America; and the announcement by the
learned Professor furnishes an interesting
theme for the officials of Missionary Societies.

On the evening of the 8th inst, President
Grant issued the following proclamation, a
brief notice of which we have already had by
telegraph:
BY THE PRESIDENT OP THE UNITED STATES OP
AMERICA, A PROCLAMATION:
Whereas, on the 22d day of August, 1870,
nay proclamation was issued enjoining neutral
ity in the preseut war between France and the
North German Confederation and its allies,
and declaring, so far as then seemed to be
necessary, the respective rights and obligations
of the belligerent parties and of the citizens
of the United States; and,
Whereas, Subsequent information gives rea
son to apprehend that armed cruisers of the
belligerents may be tempted to abuse the
hospitality awarded to them in the ports, har-
boTs, roadsteads and other waters of the
United States by making such waters subser
vient to the purposes of war.
Now, therefore, I, Ulysses S. Grant, Presi
dent of the United States of America, do here
by proclaim and declare that any frequenting
and use of the waters within the jurisdiction of
the United States by the armed vessels of
either belligerent, whether public ships or
privateers, for the purpose of preparing for
hostile operations or as ports ot observation
upon tho ships of war, or privateers, or mer
chants’ vessels of tho other belligerent lying
within or being about to enter the jurisdiction
of the United States, must bo regarded as un
friendly and offensive, and in violation of that
neutrality which it is in the determination of
this Government to observe. And to the end

mvateer, in the same or any other port, liar-
;or, roadstead or waters of the United States,
without special permission, until after the ex

such cool may have been last supplied to her
within the waters of the United States, unless
such ship-of-war or privateer shall since last
thus supplied have entered a .European port
of the government to which she belongs.

Stenographic Reporting by Machinery.
Andrew J. Graham, in his Phonographic
Visitor, gives the following account from the
Scientific American of a reporting machine,
and appends some comments of -his own:
It is said that a stenographic press has been
invented in England, by tne use of which the
art of reporting verbatim can be acquired in
much less timn than by the;old methods^ The
reporter sits at something like the keyboard of
a pianoforte, and by applying his fingers to
the keys, prints the words as they drop from
the lips of the speaker, syllable by syllable, off
a strip Of paper which rolls along under
neath. When we say this we do not,’ of course,
mean that the words are printed in letters. The
keyboard appears to be divided into three parte
of eight keys each. The left side, worked by
the fonr fingers of the left hand, prints signs
which represent initial consonants; the
right, worked bv tho fingers of the right
hand, prints final consonants; and the middle,
acted on by the two thumbs, prints the me
dium vowels. We gather that something like
a phonetic system of signs _ is employed. A
few months’ practice is said to enable any
operator to follow the most fluent speaker with
ease. We ought to say that M. Gensoul’s sys
tem renders it unnccssary to transcribe the
copy. Just as with the phonetic system if
legibly written the compositor can set up the
speech in common type, from the printed
strips furnished .by the machine. As to the
comparative ease’ of writing characters with a
printing them in the way here described, we
can give no opinion. An English paper says
if this machine should come into use in the
Houses of Parliament that “ we should miss
that happy skill with which the reporters con
dense the speeches from their notes: Very
few speakers could bear to be reported by a
machine.”
So for os the description gives us any idea
of the construction of this machine, it does
not materially differ from one constructed and

It is a favorite recreation of the moral boot
blacks and pious newsboys of New York, to
gather in the evening on the steps of Mr.
Frothingham’s church, and scare each other
with thrilling stories of the gentle Annie’s
fierce exploits and deeds of daring. Among
the best authenticated of these (stripped of
the ornate figures of speech with which the
pious newsboys are want to emblemish the
simple facts) are the following:
1. Iu the memorable canvass of 1848, Miss
Dickinson stomped the mining districts of
Pennsylvania for Fred. Douglass, and was
shot at by the infuriated miners forty-two
times, the bullets whistling through her back
hair to that extent, that her chignon looked
like a section of suction-hose when the cam
paign was over.
2. Near the close of tho rebellion. Miss
Dickinson wrote to Jeff. Davis that she was
f oing to raise a regiment and go for him.
’eace followed promptly.
3. In tho year 18(57 she published a book.
4. Iu tho year 1808 she went to California
overland, by railroad, alone.
5. In the year 1809 she attended a lecture
by Olive Logan, and further showed her fearless
nature by embracing Miss Logan tempestu
ously, and offering to marry her.

has received and successfully done battle with
14,024 proposals of marriage, 14,600 of which

she had called at the office of her attorney
that day for the praposo of urging him to
push the suit While seated in tiie office her
husband came in. He sat and tooked at his
wife for some time, and then said, “Old wo

lifted his hand to heaven, and, witfi a voice
tremulous with emotion, repeated his vows to
nourish, cherish, love, honor and protect,
until death, the bride of his youth, and then
folded her to his bosom, and they both wept
together for joy. Even the flinty hearted at
