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. —Scan your ticket and see that the prop 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 ter, 4th inst. —The Press and Cultivator talks equivo cally about the show of the Female Min strels In Griffin. It says: "The show on last Saturday night was well patronized by the male population .* The actresses got off a great many good things; among others were—their clothes."

Bell caught a very large boar in a trap on Joyner's Neck, on the Aitamaha river, in this county. After trapping his bear ship, Mr. Bell shot him, and prepared his prize for market, and brought it to Jessup on Friday. —James A. Findley, Deputy United States Marshal, brought over fifty prison ers and witnesses to Atlanta lost Monday morning. They were arrested on the charge of illicit distilling. The Times, of that city, asks, "How long, oh! how long?" We can better answer the question to morrow. —The EaconlTelegraph learns that Col. H. M. Drano has been appointed general freight agent of the Macon and Bruns wick Railroad, the former general freight agent of tho road, Mr. I. M. Edwards,hav ing resigned. Col. Drano has been tho General Ticket and Passenger Agent of this road since last spring, and the two positions are now combined. —Gen. Colquitt, Governor elect, was in Atlanta on Saturday,having just returned from the North. In his conversations with Democrats, he expressed the opin ion that Tllden’s chances cannot be put too high. He thinks ho will carry New York by over 30,000 majority, Indiana by 10,000, and Now Jersey and Connecticut by decisive votes. —The Independent reports a light In Lumpkin on Tuesday last, between Dr. J. R. Kidd and Mr. Daniel McKinnon, grow ing out of contradictory testimony whiah they gave in a case before court.

He pulled off one shoe, laid down with the gun held between hie logs, with the muzzle to his head, and pulled the trigger with his toes. In this position he was found doad In an old field. It is regardod as slgular that he was an intimate friend of Linsey, who committed suicide in Atlanta a few days before, and that he was with Linsey just before the death of the latter. 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. COLUMBUS FIRE COMPANY NO. I.
