If the editor of the Sig nal will call to mind the terrible sever • itr pf winter before last, and then think of the almost total fai ure of all crops which followed, and compare them w ith the mildness of last winter and the abundant crop which fo lowed it the past year, it will doubt'ess unsettle the equilibrium of his philosophy.

If we ure judge by reports made by our ex changes throughout the State, as well ar what has come under our own obser vation, wo are foice to conclude that not a single fair election has transpired nt Georgia from the beginning of the ,t»U electious to the end. Open bribe ry was • practiced, and whisky used upon iguorant negroes in unstinted p’.antitieri. We make no specific char• tfs against aiiy one, our object being I. 1 record our opposition to these prac- i. vs, and to udinouish the intelligent, most people of the State that some feutuai means must be promptly i..

But where is the remedy to come from ? The matter is in the hands of tho Legislature, which it semis to us could pass laws of such Stringency as to deter candidates for office from commiting these crimes against justice. The purity of the bal lot box and the honesty of electious must be preserved at all hazards, and no extremity is io.> great that will at tain the desired end. UAIMED SOLDIERS. Under the above head, we publish a letter lY'*m the Mac‘»n Telegraph, written to Col. A, 11. Lunar by the maimed Confederate soldiers of For syth, the perusal of which will cause a thrill to vibrate through the hearts of every true soldier who bared his breaBt to the battle in defence of the “Lost Cause.” Their every demand is just, and it is a shame to the State that they hare been so long neglect ed. These men and thousands of others, like them, came forth at their country’s call, and how well they did their duty let their losses ■ell. Are they and their comrades m>w to be thrown aside like old hulks t > rot ? It is said that the Costitu- 'ion will not permit maimed soldiers to be exempted from taxation. If so, it is unjust and should be chang d. Another hardship of which these maimed soldiers comp'ain is the shutting of the doors of educa tional institutions against their chil dren by reason of highpriced tuition. A your or two ago, the newspapers overflowed with praises of Senator Brown because of a $40,000 donation to a Kentucky college. But who did this munificent donation benefit? The wor;hy poor and maimed wore all around Senator Brown, to whom live dollars would have been a mercy. We will say nothing of his late atbmpb d gift of $50,000 to the State University. Mr. S- ney has during the past year or two given in ; re than a $K)0,000 tn Georgia institutions of 1 arning, but like the gifts of S' nator Brown, it has all been placed beyond the reach of the poor. True the money these men gave whs their-*-, they had a right to give it to whom they pleased, but when they give in the name of Christianity, then the world lias the right to criticise their mo tives. And let us remark, right here, that the m ohristian acts of pr 'fe-iors of religion has made more Infidels than idl the books ever written by Infidels combined. But if no private individual, ei ther saint or sinner is under any ob ligation to our maimed soldier*, the State certainly is, and we call Upon tho L* gisjature at its reassembling to give this subject the consideration its gravity deserves. •ST W« ht ve received a copy of the Baltimore Sun Annual A'manac, which besides being an alimftiac, is a work of real merit, being full of infor mation and interesting matter.
