Our Bulletin Board will givo the
Election news as fast as received
to-night.
Are the people of the country will
ing to restore to power the politi
cians who upheld Kellogg in his usur
pations, and shielded Belknap and
Babcock from punishment 1 That Is
one of the questions to be decided
to-day.
Remember that If Hayes is elected
President, O. P. Morton, B. F. But
ler, or James G. Blaine, will no
doubt go into his Cabinet, and con
tinue there the course towards the
South pursued by Williams, Taft and
Cameron.
Is Georgia hereafter to bo subject
ed to such Federal denomination as
Marshal Smythe is exercising In At
lanta to-day, or are her people to be
left to do their own voting and exe
cute their owu laws? Bear this ques
tion In mind to-day.
Markets Omitted.— We have omit
ted the night market reports except
the Liverpool and New York cotton
markets. People would hardly no
tice the lesser market reports to-day,
and the oopying of them would inter
fere with nows of more immediate in
terest.
If you vote for Tilden you will be
able to tell your grandchildren that
you helped In the overthrow of the
most corrupt party this country has
ever seen, and in the restoration of
the times of the fathers, when we
were ruled by statesmen and honest
men.
It is suspected that the steamship
Franklin, bringing Tweed back to
this country, is delayed by order of
the Administration until after the
Presidential election, either because
Tweed will not uccommodate the
Radicals with such pretended dis
closures as they want, or to give them
an opportunity falsely to attribute to
him statements which he has never
made.
The fact that there has been no ap
propriation for the pay of the deputy
marshals to be appointed under At
torney General Taft’s late order, Roes
to show that the schemo is not one
contemplated by law, but a contriv
ance of the Grant administration to
carry elections. The deputies ap
pointed will liuve look to the next
Congress for their pay, and he is a
very green politician who supposes
that a Congress Democratic in either
branch, or having half a dozen de
cent Republicans in either branch,
will ever vote the money to pay for
such service.
Ta* people of Springfield, Maine,
have a great local sensation, caused
by reports that the [Devil in proper
person has been seen in that locali
ty. One man, who until quite re
cently spent most of his time hunt
ing, cannot now be persuaded to go
into the woods, so firmly is he con
vinced that he has encountered His
Satanic Majesty face to face. We do
not credit the story, because we do
not believe that the Devil has con
fined himself to oue locality in the
State of Maine, and that so far from
Jim Blaine’s place of abode.
We copy in full the letter of Mar
shal Smythe, of Georgia, in whioh
he announced his purpose to take en
tire charge of the police service in
Atlanta on the day of the election. It
will be seen that he only claims the
power to do this in cities of twenty
thousand inhabitants or more.
The learned Marshal also gives an
exposition of the decision of the Su
preme Court, in which it decided the
Enforcement act unconstitutional.
His interpretation will hardly stand
as authority in future cases that may
arise. But we do not intend to criticise
it here. We merely copy the letter to
show the extent and the grounds of
the Marshal’s claim, reserving com
ment for the present.
It is announced that the South & North
Railroad 11 Company of Alabama, which
has recently purchased the Mobile &
Montgomery Railroad, will after the Ist
of February next run a through line from
Louisville to Mobile as one road. The
whole line is practically under one man
agement, and this will give it an advan
tage not possessed by the Georgia State
Road and its connections. The Alabama
South & North Railroad was happily pro
jected and consummated, penetrating as it
does a mineral section of untold burled
now closely connecting the
Ohio river and the Gulf. While it will
be oDvast importance and profit to Ala
bama, it will give Louisville an advan
tage over Cincinnati, which the latter
must recover by pushing forward her
Southern Railroad to the Gulf, or give
up the contest for the Trade of Georgia
and Alabama.

er names are upon it
THE IMPORTANT DAT.
This country has seldom, If ever be
fore, had a Presidential olectlon that
so Intensely interested the whole peo
ple as that which oocurs to-day. The
pending issues may not be greatly
different from those whiob bavo di
vided the two parties for the last ten
or twelve years; but It is now evident
that a decisive fight between two pol
icies of government has to be fought
to-day, and so nearly equal do the
two parties appear to be in strength,
confidence and prpspects as to call
for all| their energies and arouse all
their anxiety. The election Is one
of the most Important in our history,
and the sequel may prove it to be
one of the most dangerous, especial
ly If the fortunes of the two parties
should make the division of Electoral
votes nearly a sectional one.
The Democratic party must see
that now Is a favorable opportunity
to stem the tide of centralism and
Federal usurpation that has
for so long a time had un
checked sway. It is the most
favorable opportunity yet offered
to break down the power of a party
that has lived, and seeks to perpetu
ate its rule, upon tho sectional pas
sions and alienations of the past.
It is the most promising opportunity
yet offered to restore the Union in
reality as well as name—in princi
ple ad well as form. For the people
of tho South it is a contest in which
their equality in the Union and the
restoration of their constitutional
rights is involved. It will be decided
to-day whether the people of the
whole country sustain the right of
the Grant administration to rule the
Southern States as conquered and
tributary provinces, or whether the
old right of those States to manage
their own domestic affairs is to bo re
established.
No true Southern man, who takes a
proper view of tho momentous ques
tions involved, can be Indifferent on
an occasion like this. The vote of
every such man is wanted to decide
the national contest, whether the
Electoral or Congressional tickets of
his party in his own State and Dis
trict are in danger or not. The issue
is one which all the people of the
United States must decide, and which
every man’s vote will help to decide.
Let every Georgian and Alabamian
act to-day as if he held the casting
vote. Lot us do our whole duty,
whatever may be the result, or what
ever the consequences.
WAR MSUES TO OK OI'KIED.
Remember that Gov. Tilden, in hi3
first annual message to the Legisla
ture of New York (before he was
named for the Presidency) declared:
“The questions settled by the war
ought never to be reopened. The
adoption of the Thirteenth, Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments
to the Federal Constitution closed
one great era in our politics. It
marked the end forever of the sys
tem of human slavery. These
Amendments have been accepted in
good faith by the people of all sec
tions. They must be final, and
henceforth our politics are to turn
upon questions of tho present and fu
ture, and not upon those of the final
past.”
ALABAMA.
STATE TREASURER'S REPORT.
Our thanks are due to the Hon.
Daniel Crawford, State Treasurer,
for a copy of his published report for
the fiscal year ending Sept. 3oth,
1876. The total receipts for the year
were $979,743, of whioh there was
derived from taxes the sum of $874,-
874. This is not as much as was ex
pected, but we must bear in mind
that there was a shrinkage in assess
ments as compared with the preced
ing year, and that the revenue was
assessed under the tax laws which
prevailed at that time. The present
Revenue Law is an improvement on
the former in many respects, and
under it the Commissioners expect to
see realized not less than $1,100,000.
We aro informed, however, that the
assessments of the present fiscal
year aro not much, if at all, in excess
of those of last year. What has been
gained in more equal and exact as
sessments, has been lost in continued
shrinkage of values. The present is
an abnormal condition of real estate,
and not even an approximate calcu
lation can be based upon the Revenue
Law.
The cost of the Constitutional Con
vention was $25,984, and the cost of
the last General Assembly was $78,-
183, making a total expense of $104,-
167 for the past year. This is a large
sum, but the Convention was cheap
at any cost, as it secures a vast re
duction of expense annually, and the
combined cost of both Convention
and Assembly is less than was the
cost of the Assembly alone in 1869,
when Radicalism was in full blast.
In that year the Legislature alone
co3t $106,170. In 1875 the General
Assembly cost $106,984.
The expenses of the State for
criminal objects during the past year
has been $127,769. Again the .Regis
ter must urge upon the attention of
our legislators the necessity of mak
ing our jails support themselves.
This annual outlay to feed jail-birds
is a disgrace to a civilized people and
a most reckless imposition upon the
tax payer. Other States have in suc
cessful operation self-supporting
labor and reforamtory asylums,
where the greater member of crimi
nals aro employed in productive oc
cupations.
We find among the expenses of
last year an item of $45,000 paid out
in the matter of the assignment of
the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail
road.
The interest of the educational
funds and the annual appropriations
for charitable asylums seem to have
been fully paid.
Mobile paid into the Treasury $127,-
628, or nearly fiifteen per cent, of the
whole—a little less than one-sixth of
all the revenue of the State. With
only one-twenty-lifth of the popula
tion she pays one-sixth of the taxes.
Certainly she deserves well of the
State and should receive the sympa
thy and support of the General As
semply in all matters which may con
duce to her growth in population,
business and wealth.— Mobile Regis

FEDERAL USURPATION.
Marshall hinytlie’. Order In Full.
United States Marshall's Of- )
vice, Northern District of Geor- )-
gia, Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 3d, 1876.)
James 11. Anderson, Esq., Chief of
Police, Atlanta Ga: Sir— l have the
honor to inform you that in compli
ance with section 2021 of the revised
statutes of the United States, I shall
appoint special United States Depu
ty Marshals to perform in this city,
upon the 7th inst., such duties as
may be required of them by law, und
especially, in accordance with sec
tion 2022 of the Revised Statutes, to
keep the peace and preserve order at
the polls to be opened on that date
for the purpose of electing a member
of Congress. I desire to call your at
tention to section 502 of the same
statutes, which forbids, under se
vere penalties every person “whether
with or without any authority,
power or process of any State, Terri
tory or municipality" from obstruct
ing, hindering, or in any manner in
terfering with the Marshal or his
Deputies in the performance of these
duties, and to respectfully request
that you inform the members of your
force of these provisions of the law,
and instruct them carefully to ob
serve the same.
An effort has been made to per
suade the people of this city that the
sections of the law, to which I have
referred, have been declared uncon
stitutional in certain decisions re
cently rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States. It is
deeply to be regretted that so erro
neous a statement should be pub
lished, or that any resistance to the
lawful authority of the United States
should be encouraged thereby. I
cannot suppose that you entertain
any such idea yourself, but in view
of its prevalence, I trust you will
pardon me for making in this letter
a fsw suggestions upon that subject,
to the end that we may the better un
derstand our official relations and
duties towards each other upon the
day of the coming election.
The decision of the Supreme
Court relied on, turned upon the
question as to whether the act, com
monly called the Enforcement Act,
was appropriate legislation under
the fifteenth amendment. The
court decided it was not, but express
ly declared that “the effect of article
one, section four, of the constitution
in respect to elections for senators
and representatives is not now under
consideration.” That section au
thorizes Congress to make regula
tions, or to alter any and all pres
cribed by any State, as to the times,
places and manner of holding elec
tions for Senators and Representa
tives.
Section 1288 of the Code of Georgia,
setting forth the manner of conduct
ing elections, among other things,
firovides for the employment of a po
ice force, “for the moro efficient
preservation of peace and good or
der,” excepting in cities where there
is a “legalized police .force,” in
which case, by inference, and at least
by custom, such police perform these
duties in ordiuary elections.
Congress, by virtue of its powers
delivered from the section above re
ferred to, has far altered these regu
lations relating to the manner of
holding or conducting elections for
representatives in Congress, as in
cities of 20,0*0 inhabitants or up
wards, to place all these powers of
keeping the peace and preserving
order, previously exercised by the
State Sheriff and the police, in the
hands of the United States Marshal
and his general and special depu
ties.
Nothing can be clearer than the
constitutional right of Congress to
pass the law embraced in the section
above referred to; nothing more
certain than that it is not affected by
the recent decisions of the Supreme
Court; und that in cities of the size
of Atlanta, upon the application of
two citizens In writing (which has
been made In the present case? it is
the duty of the Marshal to appoint
special deputies, upon whom the en
tire preservation of peace and good
order at all polls in such city, open
ed the 7th Inst,, exclusively and
solely devolves. In the performance
of these duties, tho authority vested
in theseoffleershy the United States,
is paramount, and cannot be inter
ferred with by individuals, or by
parties acting under any other au
thority.
I expect to have ample force upon
the day of election to preserve peace
and order at the polls, and to amply
protect all {citizens, so entitled, in
their exercise of the right of voting.
Ido not think tho presence or assis
tance of tho police will be needed,
and in order to prevent any misun
derstanding leading to conflict of du
ties, I would respectfully suggest
that the members of your force do
not attempt to exercise any authority
in the vicinity of tho polls. Very re
spectfully, your obedient servant.
Wm. H. Smythe,
Marshal.
The Empress of Brazil lately gave
Queen Victoria a dress woven from
spiders’ webs, tho fabric being far
finer than the finest silk. Some
time ago the London Society of Arts
conferred upon Mr. Rott their medal
of honor for obtaining a thread of
silk of the estimated length of some
18,000 feet from twenty-four of the
aranea diadema, or ordinary garden
spiders. In the course of the investi
gations which followed this remark
able achievement, the thread was
found to be six and three-tenths
times finer than that produced by
tho silk worm, aud, as the average
number of the latter required to
yield a pound of silk is found to be
between three and four thousand, it
is calculated that no less than some
twenty-five thousand spiders would
be required to spin a similar quanti
ty. Unfortunately, however, except
in the use of spider filaments for as
tronomical purposes, no further en
couragement seems to have been
given to this species of industry.
This is owing to the fact that when
collected together the insects cannot
be prevented from fighting and kill
inf each other.
