FOR CONUHCMN,
HKXRY It. MARIUS,
OF MERIWETHER.
Up to this time, says the Now dr
leans Timet, tho efforts of the admin
istration to organizo a rebellion have
not been successful.
An extraordinarily heavy voto has
been registered in New York and
Brooklyn, and it is apprehended that
in those cities, as in Philadelphia,
extensive frauds have been commit
ted. The Brooklyn registration is
about 18,000 higher than ever before.
The Eufaia Timet and News have
been consolidated, and tho name of
the Times will bo retained. Mr. Shrop
shire will have oditorial control. The
cause assigned for the union is the in
ability of Eufaia to support two pa
pers at this this time. Wo wish the
Timet, as thusstrengthed, much pros
perity. And now that ‘‘Old Hhrop’s”
spiteful gibes at Columbus will bnve
a larger circulation, we expect to
keep a sharper eye on him hereafter.
We did not at first fully under
stand the meaning of the dispatch re
ceived by us Tuesday night, to the
effect'that the Attorney General of
Georgia had given no opinion, and
Gov. Smith had given tho State Mil
itia no instructions, In reference to
Attorney General Taft’s orders to
U. S. Marshals. We flud that this
denial was called forth by a special
dispatch from Atlanta to the New
York Herald, which stated that Gov.
Smith and Attorney General Ham
mond had taken such action.
What Then?—There are no joint
rule Bof Congress regulating the
counting of the Electoral votes. Un
der the constitution, all tho votes re
ceived must bo counted, and we sup
pose this means votes cast by Electors
declared by tho Governors of their
respective States to be chosen. But
suppose that Chamberlain, iu South
Carolina, or Kellogg, in Louisiana,
should falsely certify that the Repub
lican Electors were chosen in those
States, and not only they, but the
Democratic Electors really chosen,
should cast Presidential votes and
forward them to Washington—what
then? Would there bo no power in
Congress, or in either branch of Con
gress, to remedy this great outrage
upon the rights of the people? We
are not supposing an improbable
case, as everybody familiar with Rad
ical government in the South knows,
and as the former conduct of Kellogg
fully proves.
Gen. John A. Logan, who is now so
energetically shaking the “bloody
shirt” and whinlngly complaining
thut the Democrats will take away
all the rights of the negroes If Tildcn
is elected, has at different times be
longed to all,th© political parties of
his day, and we believe has been a
Democrat, “off and on,” two or three
times. Gen. John always goes to ex
tremes in any party, for he never
fully gets over the zeal of the young
convert before he is ready to leave it
for another. His course at former
periods forms a rather ludicrous con
trast with his Radical zeal now. The
Cincinnati Enquirer says that when
he was a member of the Legislature
of Illinois, in 1853, he introduced a
measure, known as the “black law,”,
which provided that any negro or
mulatto coming into the State and
remaining ten days should be fined
SSO, and if he did not pay the fine
forthwith, he should bo sold at auc
tion to any person who would pay
such fine aud costs.
The Atlanta Constitution rofers to
indications that the Republicans are
not going to mako any contest in
Georgia on Presidential Electors, but
will try to carry two or three Con
gressional Districts. One evidence
of this is the fact that Markham,
Radical candidate for Congress in the
Fifth District, is having tickets dis
tributed with the Democratic Elec
tors and his own name on them. But
this may be only a trick of Mark
ham’s to get Democratic votes. He
may distribute tickets with the Radi
cal Electors iu duo time.
The Constitution concludes: “The
Republicans have evidently made up
their mind to throw up the Hayes
and Wheeler sponge, and concen
trate all their strength on the Fifth
and Second Congressional Districts.
'All the military power of the govern
ment in Georgia on the day of elec
tion is to be used in these two dis
tricts, and the great loss to the Hayes
uud Wheeler ticket throughout the
State is to be attributed to intimida
tion. If the Republicans should hap
pen to carry the next House this
would be the corner-stone for a con
test In Markham’s and Whitely’s dis
tricts, and be the means of aiding
them to set aside a good majority.”
—ln consequence of the written declina
tion of Hon. John L. Warren, recently
elected one of the Representatives from
Chatham oounty,to serve, Goy. Smith has
notified the ordinary to hold an election
for Representative after giving twenty
days notice.
‘SOLID" OPPONINU RKCTIONM.
We hear tho apprehension express
ed that the Presidential vote will bo
a ‘‘solid North against a solid
South,” as it was in 1860. Wo do not
believe this, and thero is nothing
that we would deprecate more. It
would be u political condition full of
danger to the j>cace of the country If
the two grent scotlons thus opposed
were equally free and nearly equally
powerful; and It would boa condi
tion greatly damaging to our own
section with its present weakness
and inequality. But wo do not be
lieve that this will bo tho result of
the Presidential vote. Wo feel more
confidence in New York and several
other Northern States, giving CO or 70
Electoral votes in all, going forTil
den, than wo do in a “solid” South
for him.
Two weeks ago elections were hold
in two great adjoining Northern
Stutcs—Ohioand Indiana. Tho most
strenuous efforts to carry them were
mado by both parties, and in both
tho largest vote ever cast was brought
out. Tho aggregate voto in tho two
States amounted to one million— not
falling fifty thousand short of that
great number. Aud yot the division
in them was so exceedingly close that
fifteen hundred votes would cover tho
majority in tho two combined, and
one of them was carried by tho Dem
crats and the other by the Republi
cans. This certainly doos not look
Uko a “solid” Northern voto for
Hayes and Wheeler. It rather indi
cates a very close division at tho
North. We believe that it will bo
equally close in the President
ial election —in the popular
voto at least. It is possible
that one party, by superior manage
ment, may secure nearly all tho Elec
toral votes of tho North, but nothing
can be surer than that tho popular
voto of that section will bo so very
close as to disarm of its terrors any
cry which may bo raised that there
was a “solid North against a solid
South.” And if, as wo think almost
certain, there is so great a division of
tho.representation of the Northern
States in Congress as to prevent any
thing liko the appearauce of oppos
ing sections in that body, we may
still congratulate ourselves on having
escaped such a condition of things as
thut which happened in 18G0.
THE INTERNAL REVENUE INCUBUS.
Tho Internal Revenue, next to the
Postal Service, is the largest of all
employed by tho Government, and is
tho most thoroughly organized of
any branch, is better calculated, from
its superior organization to bo of tho
most substantial and positive aid to
the Republican party to further its
political ends to retain power, and is
in numbers and compensation as fol
lows—as per “Report of the Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue” for the
fiscal year ending June 30th, 1875,
pages.XL. und XLI., and “Finance
Report” for tho same period, pages
417, 421 and 422.
Two hundred and nine Collectors,
whose compensation was $840,272.83.
One thousand two hundred and five
Deputy Collectors at a rate of com
pensation ranging from SIOO to $1,500
per annum, according to the political
value of each Deputy Collector’s ser
vices. One thousand two hundred
and thirty-three Store-keepers, whose
compensation was $751,026. One thou
sand and seventy-eight Guugers,
whose compensation reaches, in fees
and expenses, the enormous sum of
$059,745.26. Thirty-two Inspectors of
Snuff, Cigars and Tobacco, whoso
compensation is at least $4 per day.
Ton Supervisors, whose salary and
expenses, such as traveling expenses,
clerk hire, furniture, rent and sta
tionery, amounted to tho sum of
$137,752.52.
Twenty-flvo Revenue agcnt3, whose
salaries and traveling expenses
amounted to $85,024 42, besides Sur
veyors of Distilleries, appointed from
time to time at the pleasure of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
at a compensation of $5 per day and
expenses, the compensation and ex
penses of whtfrn was, for tho above
period, $15,195 53, but the number or
names of which Surveyors have never
appeared in the Official Register of
tho United States, although that book
purports to show the namesand num
ber of all persons employed by the
government except some mechanics
and laborers In navy yards. This
enormous force is now employed ns a
political machine to help elect Hayes.
The legitimate duties of the service
could bo better performed by one
tenth the number’of officers. *

COST OF THE INDIANA ELECTION.
Indianapolis correspondence of the Now York
Herald.
The struggle that ended last week
in the victory of the Democratic and
the defeat of the Republican party of
that State was one of the most re
markable ever witnessed in the West.
Forty millions of people were eager
and anxious spectators, and tho act
ors in the combat fully realized the
fact. Never was a State more thor
oughly penetrated by the oratorical
emissaries of both parties, moro thor
oughly Hooded with political tracts
and pamphlets, and more desperate
ly fought for through corrupt and
unlawful as well as through legiti
mate means. The quantity of money
expended on speakers, on tracts, pro
cessions, colonizers, repeaters, etc.,
by both sides must have beer
enormous. The cost for the pro
cessions of the two parties through
out the State I estimate roughlv at
$2,500,000 ; 500 speakers, at SSOO each,
$250,000 ; 5,000,000 documents, at five
cents each, $250,000; 10,000 colonizers,
repeaters, shoulder-shitters and mer
cenaries generally, at SIOO each, sl,-
000,000; contingent expenses for rent,
telegraphic dispatches fixed ban
ners. advertisements, posters, &0.,
$1,000,000; total, $5,000,000. Add to
this the loss to business by tire uni
versal absorption of the population
in politics, about fifteen million dol
lars, and you have a grand total of
$20,000,000 as the cost of the recent
canvass in tho State of Indiana. The
mental and bodily wear and tear oc
casioned by the excitement of the
contest, the late hours and consump
tion of the stimulants, may bo esti
mated as shortening the lives of tho
aggregate population of voters, (430,-
000) by at. least twelve thousand
3’ears. It. was a costly campaign,
and the fiercest ever fought in the
We;t.
The Chattanooga Iron Company is
making nearly double the iron they
have heretofore made, and have or
ders for it as fast as they make it.
They aro now making twenty tons of
grey mill per day, which is bringing
$15.50 per ton cash. There is a good
demand for iron, and it is hoped that
this demand will increase the price
in market. Our iron is obtaining an
enviable reputation throughout the
North, and our low quotations are
sending us orders and inquiries from
all over the country. In St. Louis
one can see a sign “Tennessee Iron
Store” hanging over an imposing
looking store, and ngain a coal yard
sign reads, “Tennessee Coal for
Blacksmithing.” Oh! we have a fu
ture before us, and that a grand one.

Mount Ararat has been successful
ly ascended by Mr. Bryce, of Lin
coln’s lun, London. This is believed
to be either the third or fourth as
cent, the first having been made by
Parrot in 1834, and the second by
Abich in 1850. The mountain is 17,-
212 feet in height, and the last 4,000
feet had to be climbed alone, the
Cossack escort refusing to go furth
