for Tilden ho would be elected Pres

The New York Tribune says that
the late change of the o#ds In the

Tilden side, is due to President

“The colored man raises everything
that is rasied in the South, except
hell."— Robert G. Ingersoll.
Right as to the exception, Bqb, It
was reserved for the carpet-baggers
to do that, and for the poor negroes
to take the consequences. That they
did it pretty effectually Is evidenced
by Bob IngersolPs 'discovery that
there was a hell to be raised, for he
never believed In one before.
The suspension of tho Continental
Life Insurance Company affects some
seventy thousand policy holders, as
well as its other creditors. Like the
other life insurance companies that
have failed, the exhaustion of funds
seems not to have been occasioned
by the deoreaso of an unusual num
ber of the assured, but by injudicious
speculations iu stocks and real
estate.
NOIITON ON CODNTINU THU KLKC
TO It .t I, VOTE.
The San Fraucisco Call reports an
Interview with Senator Morton of In
diana, in which that Senator con
tended that the refusal to ro-adopt
the 22d joint rule of Congress throws
the mode of counting the Electoral
vote back upon the custom prior to
18(15, and that now only the Vice
President has the right to reject the
vote of a State! This is a monstrous
proposition made more so by the
fact that no Vice President prior to
1865 ever took the responsibility of
throwing out the vote of a State. On
the contrary, in 1857, the Eleotoral
vote of Wisconsin, cast on a day dif
ferent from that prescribed by law,
was received and counted, notwith
standing the informality, and not
withstanding the fact that objection
was made—the Vice President de
clining to take the responsibility of
throwing it out.
The Constitution of the United
States simply provides that “the
President of the Senate, in the pres
ence of the two Houses of Congress,
shall count the votes, and the person
having the greatest number of votes
for President, if such number be a
majority of the whole number of
Electors appointed, shall be Presi
dent.” This is only a power to open
and count, not to exclude or pass
upon the legitimacy of the vote.
Morton speaks of a casus omissus of
the Constitution, in its failing to
make any other provision or regula
tion for the counting of the Eleotoral
vote. But there is no reason to be
lieve that the framers of the Con
stitution ever contemplated entrust
ing to any official or tribunal the
right to reject an Electoral vote.
Having provided a mode in which
Electors should be chosen, and the
mode by which they should oast
their votes for President and Vice
President, the constitution simply
devolved on President of the
Senate the duty the vote
and announcing the result. When
Congress threw out the vote of Lou
isiana, in 1873, under the joint rule
of 1865, it committed au act of usur
pation, and should acting Vice Pres
ident Ferry undertake to throw out
an Electoral vote in 1877, he will have
no constitutional warrant to stand
upon, but will be exercising arbitra
ry and despotic powers.
—The Macon Telegraph learns from
Twiggs county that Mr. H. F. Solomon's
gin house was Bred on Friday night last
and totally consumed with contents. A
negro man, arrested as the incendiary,
has confessed the deed, and claims that
he was hired to do It by a white man liv
ing in the neighborhood who was at
enmity with Mr. Solomon. There is con
siderable excitement about the matter in
the neighborhood—near Antioch Church,
about five miles from Griswoldville.
—There are preachers who preach so
far away from their subject that no Bible
reviser can restore the original text.

THE INTERMINABLE EASTERN
HUKSTION.
Wo havo for several days Indulged
the hope that the war betwsen Tur
key and Servia, which has so long
threatened the peace of Europe, was
about to be speedily stayed by an ar
mistice, to be followed by s treaty of
peace. The war was a bore to the
whole world. Bo much diplomacy
and reporting, and so little fighting,
never distinguished a war before.
Newspaper mon everywhere would
have been glad to got it off their
hands. But the news of yesterday
puts a damper on wour hopes. The
situation again looks warlike, and
there Is “blood upon the moon" (or
Turkish crescent) again.
Two developcments caused tho
alarm now reported—first, the sum
mary and arbitrary “ultimatum” of
Russia, declared at tho very nick of
time when an agreement upon the
armistice seemed to be assured; and
second, tho speech of Emperor
William of Germany, In which he Is
understood as intimating that while
ho desires to preserve peace with all
tho powers of Europe, ho is most so
licitous for peace with “those con
nected with Germany by ties of
neighborhood and history.” It is
plain that Russia is the power to
which alone tho Emperor could al
lude as thus connected with Germa
ny ; and tho apprehension Is felt that
Russia’s dictatorial course in the
matter of tho armistice Is taken with
the knowledge that she will be sup
ported by Germany. This is what
alarms the other powers.
It would now appear that Russia
is acting the part of the wolf in
the fable, which quarreled with the
lamb drinking from the same stream.
No concession of Turkey will satisfy
her. She Is resolved on a quarrel,
no matter what Turkey may do to
avoid it, and she makes her demands
so positively and offensively to the
negotiating powers as to indicate
pretty clearly that she intends to
defy them all—that is, all except
Germany, with which she is believed
to be in secret alliance. This seems
to be the “true inwardness” of the
how and threatening turn in the
Turkish question, whioh now seems
to have reached a crisis In which the
negotiating powers must quickly de
cide whether they will go to war with
Russia, and perhaps Germany, or
leave Turkoy to her fate.

more astonished to see In the Chattahoo

canal, bnt only dams, to make them
available for manufacturing.
STEWART CORRESPONDENCE.
Lumpkin, Ga., Oct. 31, 12 m.
Columbus Times: The Superior
Court convened Monday morning,
being tho commencement of the sec
ond week —his Honor, Martin J.
Crawford, presiding.
The jurors, grand and traverse,
were promptly In their places.
The grand jury of the previous
week having recommended in their
general presentments that no grand
jury be organized for this week—
Judge Crawford discharged them for
the term.
The criminal docket was taken up
Monday morning, and all the dases,
where the parties charged were In
carcerated, were tried and disposed
of; and all cases where the parties
were uhder bond were oontinued for
the term, save two that came into
court and plead guilt)*—the same
being misdemeanors.
The Motion Docket was called this
mornlngfort.hedispositlonofallcaseß
that could be disposed of without the
intervention of a jury. The court
will probably adjourn Friday even
ing, but cannot near get through
tho business of the court.
General Phillip Cook, our Demo
cratic nominee for Congress, made a
speech hero yesterday, standing
about one and a half hours.
His speech was attentively listened
to by a large audience. Gen. Cook
made it in his humorous, intelligent
and able manner; and there Is no
doubt but that at the proper time old
Stewart county will come up with a
handsome majority for Gen. Cook,
notwithstanding the black people of
the county are in tho majority; but
they say that they cannot longer vote
contrary to the way their white
friends do, who, being Southern peo
ple, that their interests are in com
mon and Identical with theirs.
The labor here has worked better
this year than at any year since the
war. By the economy of all classes,
it is believed that our county will
be in a much better condition after
the sale of their cotton than they ex
pected in the spring, although they
do not get as much for cotton as they
expected when they started, and as
they ought to have.
As court is In session, and as I am
interested, I can write no more, but
will at a more convenient time. The
Times has a very large circulation in
this county, which I hope will in
crease to a good and profitable circu
lation, and that it may be sustaining
and prosperous, &c.
Stewart.
Interview with the Grand Vizier.
The correspondent of tho Pall
Mall Gazette sends the following notes
of a conversation recently held by
him with the Grand Vizier, in which
the Turkish Prime Minister appears
to have expressed himself freely as
to the conduct of the powers toward
the Porte; “We have, he said, more
than three hundred thousand men
under arms, who live I know not
how. We have been deceived bv the
powers, who assured us that since
Servia and Montenegro had refused
to (follow their advice they would
leave them to extricate themselves
from their difficulties alone. We be
lived that in six weeks we Bhould
have been able to bring matters to a
conclusion. But we are now fighting,
not against the Principalities, but
against Russia and the Slav popula
tion of Austria. Wo have been as
conciliatory as possible, bnt we are
asked to create autonomies which
will simply perpetuate the insurrec
tion. Observe that Servia will not
accept tho armistice, and recom
menced hostilities at all points. You
probably know of the propo
sitions of the powers. They were
thus conceived: 1; Status quo ante
helium for Servia and Montenegro.
2. No indemnity or augmentation of
the Servian tribute. 3. Administra
tive autonomy for Bosnia, Herzego
vina and Bulgaria. The Porte has
accepted the two former. This is its
reply to the third: ‘The affair of the
insurrection is a question apart. We
feel assured that these provinces
would sot have revolted without
pressure from without; but we admit
that it is our misgovernmeut which
has obliged them to rise.’ As these
provinces have been governed in the
same manner as all the rest of the
empire, the reforms ought to be ex
tended to all our subjects. To act as
you propose, and to grant special
privileges to Bosnia and Herzegovina
would be to offer a premium to insur
rection, and to excite the other prov
inces to behave in the same way. We
promise and undertake to extend the
reforms indicated in the Andrassy
note to all our provinces, and further,
to establish a general council, one
half of the members of which shall
be elected for tho purpose of super
vising the application of the re
forms.”
THE GREENBACK PARTY.
ITS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ON THE
HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS
OF THE REPUBLICANS.
Mr. Peter Cooper has Issued an ad
dress to the people of the United
States, in which he says;
We charge that the Republican
party Is responsible for nearly all the
legislation against which we com
plain ; that by contracting the cur
rency it has so reduced the income
from labor and prostrated business
that it has taken Government bonds
out of the hands of the people, who
took them In the hour f the na
tion’s peril, and transferred them to
corporations and foreigners for their
benefit; that it passed the act prom
ising to pay the five-twenty bonds
in coin, in violation of the contract
under which they were issued, the
act demonetizing silver, tho act ex
empting bonds from taxation, the
the specie resumption act, and cre
ated the syndicate through whose
influence a majority of our bonds
have been placed In the hands of for
eigners, to whom interest is paid in
stead of to our own people; all of
which have been most injurious to
the interests of the nation; that by
reducing the Income from labor it
increased the purchasing power of
the income from bonds—and this,
like all its financial policy, has been
calculated to make the rich richer
ami poor poorer—that it has created
and fostered a banking and bond
holding aristocracy, for whose bene
fit it has betrayed the entire business
and labor interests of the country;
that it has brought want, distress
and debt on forty millions of people,
and is no longer entitled to their
support.
—You can-can you ? was the remark sho
made last night to her liege lord.
