THE DAILY TIMES. jokn h. HAirrnv. - - - Mitor. Oolumbui. €?- SATURDAY....... .NOytßfcit 25. im. LARGEST CIRCULATION In the reunite* Atw*eit te ■><! Tnutlnir u( rolumliti.. The Albany News learns that the telegraph operator at Tallahassee was discharged for revealing the fol lowing infamous telegram: Hon. M. L. Stearns Florida must be made Republican.' Troops and money wili be furnished. Z. Chandler. A special of the 23d to the New York Post says that the change of affairs in South Carolina on the pre vious day is viewed in official circles at Washington as foreshadowing trouble to both political parties in thafeState. While Gen. Grant is massing the troops of the army of the United Btates at Columbia, Tallahassee, New Orleans and Washington for party purposes, Gen. Crook has only 2,000 men, including Indians, to fight the hostile Sioux and protect the frontier settlements. We find remarks like this very oommon in the papers, and especially in the Radloal press: “Either party in the North will submit to injustice and be cheated out of tbs Presidency, before it will allow another civil war.” That may be quite true. But we had much rather see the proposi tion put in this way: Both parties will do right and act fairly and justly, so as to avoid giving any occasion for trouble. Here is the Radical claim of the result in Florida. W T e copy it as sig nificant of the way they design to count the votes, rather than tho way the people cast them. It is in a dis patch from Tallahassee, 23d, to the New York Commercial: Returns from the thirty-nine coun ties are all in, and their face shows a majority of 763 for the Republican Electoral ticket. This is on the fnee, but it is thought a thorough revision will increase the majority. On the announcement of the result it was received with great rejoicing by the Republicans, and the most intelligent of the Democrats accept tho result with great complacency. The Chicago Inter-Ocean’s Washing ton correspondent telegraphs that, “from some remarks dropped by tho President, within the past few days, it is understood that his message will deal vigorously with the election complications, and that its tone will be similar to that of his order to Gen. Sherman. No man was ever more in earnest than he is on this subject, and in case trouble arises lie will ire prepared to meet it at its inception. Several companies of troops have been ordered to the posts in and around Washington, and arms will be ready at the Washington Arsenal, so that we will not have a repetition of the Buchanan fiasco in 1860.” Hebe Is a dispatch of the 23d from Washington, from a Republican source and to a Republican paper, which tends to the corroboration of the report that the trick of the Board of Canvassers as wconcocted in Wash ington and will be sustained there: “The members of the Cabinet are not disposed to talk very fully, be lieving that they will bo called upon officially to advise the President as to his duty when the question of rec ognizing Hampton or Chamberlain as legal Governor Is brought before him, as it may be. But what- few ex pressions are made leave no room to doubtjthat the Administration fully justifies the steps taken by the Re turning Board in not complying with the orders of the Supreme Court, to certify to the election of members to the Legislature in counties where gross frauds are said to have been practiced by tip? Democrats in order to seflure a majority. "It is asserted here that the Re turning Board acted under the ad vice of an able legal counsel, and that, the steps taken were not deter mined upon without full reflection and a realization of the results that would follow. “The President will undoubtedly stand by Chamberlain in this con test, and there is reason for believing that word to this effect has been tel egraphed to Columbia officially. ” And now Jere Haralson, of Alabama, inspired, no doubt by the lato Radi cal calculators of a small majority on their side in the next House, has raised the cry of intimidation. Jero’s District of overwhlemingly Radical, but he had the misfortune to be- op posed by the Spencer faction of the District, which ran Rapier against him and nearly equally divided the Radical vote. The consequence was that Gen. Shelley, the Democratic candidate, ran in between them by a small plurality. Jere is reported as saying that Gen. Shelley “intimida ted him; but we have the impression that it was a friend of Rapier who made himretractas mentioned. How ever, we copy the statement attribu ted to him, without seeing how the facts stated could had anything to do with the intimidation of his supports —the affair being a purely personal one. A dispatch from Washington to the New York Graphic says Haral son published a letter at Washing ton oh the 23d, In which he says that he was defeated in a district where the black population is four to on© to the whites. He says that he was taken into a room at Selma by the Democratic candidate, who put a pis tol to his ear and gave himbisehoiee between signing a document, the contents of whieh he knew nothing of, and instant death. To save his life be signed it, and discovered #f aterwards that St was a retraction of certain charges he had made against his opponent in a speech. Haralson will contest his seat. THK RICHT OF NUFFBAdK A! BK- TtBNINV BOARD*. The New Orleans Times Is of the opinion that tho election will termin ate tho career of returning boards et id omne genus. They have proved, says the Times, perilous institutions, and no party will feel safe in lodging such dangerous powers in tho hands of a few politicians. They are op posed to the genius of American principles, and derogute popular sov ereignty. They are the product of centralization, and are a long march toward the abolition of the right of free suffrage, and Its correlative right of representation. They deter citi zens from voting because they destroy confidence in the effect of their votes. Mon often vote at the oost of great personal inconvenience, expense and loss of time. Thoy will not incur this tax of time, means and oomfort to go to the polls and vote when there is no certainty that the vote will be counted. Vested, as they appear to be, with the power of excluding from the oount whole polls, parishes or counties on acoount of disturbance, they encourage rather than deter acts of violence and intimidation, as unscrupulous mercenaries may by this means cause the disfranchise ment of whole districts. These Returning Boards are the creatures of partisan legislation and do not derive their authority from the constitutional provisions of the States. It is only by constitutional concessions on tho part of the people that the right of suffrage can be abridged. Rights once acquired by a people, all history teaches, cannot bo overthrown except by revolution, and in no modern instance has ever revolution long detained rights which the people claimed and once possess ed. The spirit and practice of Ameri can governments have constantly tended toward universal suffrage, and though a few of the States restrict suffrage in some measure, the Ameri can people, as a whole, favor the broadest extension of suffrage, and by the last amendments to the Con stitution place a penalty in tho loss of representation on any State favor ing restricted voting. Leaving aside tho constitutional objections to the returning boards or canvassers, it is simply preposterous to suppose that h people who claim, possess and guard jealously the right of suffrage, will long permit any board, under whatever name or title it may be known, to exerclso a power superior to the will of the people, and to set aside their decrees as de clared at the ballot box. The citizen’s vote is the funda mental principal of American insti tutions. It is tho magna charta of Americans. It is the means with which he protects his life, liberty and property. It is the power that en ables him to secure the inalienable right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” We learn from the Selma Times that the boats on the Alabama river are all independent and running on their own hook. The old combination expired in October, and lias not been resumed. Some five or six are on the river, and it is possible a freight and passenger war may take place. The Legislature of South Carolina will convene on Tuesday next, and the new Governor will be inaugurat es! next week. The crisis in the po litical affairs of that State is near at hand, and it is not unlikely that its solution will have considerable effect In the settlement of the Presidential squabble. We have just received Vick’s Floral Guide for 1877. It is' a splendid spe cimen of typography and fancy print ing. Vick’s garden is situated in Rochester, N. Y., and is the most popular In the United States, so far as we know. The Guide is published four times a year at twenty-five cents per copy, and is fully worth four times the amount. Our lady friends desiring something really elegant and nice, either in the horticultural or flofUl line, will do well to address James Viok. A Washington special to the New York Tribune mentions a nice little scheme to make James G. Blaine President after the 4th of Maroh. It involves difficulties, and wo suppose is only speculative as yet, but it has plausibility enough to deserve notice. The plan is, first, to elect Blaine President pro tem. of the Senate; his term expires on the 4th of March, and in the event of a failure to elect a President of the United States by the 4th of March he oould not then succeed to the office; hut It is pro posed to get over this difficulty by having Gen. Grant to resign on the 3d of March, which would be before the expiration of Blaine’s term as Senator and President pro tem. of the Senate. He could then take the office of President and hold It after the 4th. Confident.—-We learn that yester day morning a New York drum mer offered to sell a bill of goods to a well known Augusta house, expressly stipulating, in view of the present depressed state business, that no payment would be required until Tildens election and inauguration was indisputably settled. He stated that the confidence in New York in Un cle Sammy’s complete triumph is un bounded and that many prominent Republicans, forced by the disrepu table conduct of their party since the election, express their sympathy for the Democracy and vow solid al legiance for TUden and Hendricks.— Augusta Chronicle, 23tf. Kaimw. , Topeka, Nov. 22.—The official vote of the State with the exception of Barton and Pratt counties, is now in, Hayes’ vote is 77,510; Hayes majority is 40,039. The two counties not heard from will increase it. Anthony received 9,075 votes less than Hayes and 8,546 less than the average of the rest, of the State ticket. Anthony’s majority over Martin is 22.650. and over all, 16,241. i it roi.iTic.ti, dkuekeraci. After the returning boards have completed their returns, what lathe most startling revelation before the country? The Radicals have resort ed to every treaoherous and con temptible means conceivable, and have most signally failed in their ef forts to deceive the genius of Democ racy. We are rapidly approaching that happy period in our politiool ex istence when naught will confound or startle the good people of this great and glorious nation. We were lately informed from South Carolina, of a virtuous and commendable desire on tho part of Radicals,to compromise the election, giving one party tho State ticket, whilst the other very generously is contented to receive the seven insig nificant little Electoral votes, and bewail the lamentable fact that there are only seven. The genius of our Government places the sovereign power in the people who confer com missions of trust and profit upon certain individuals, acting in accord ance with its will, and reserving the right to restrict and resume it when ever it desires. How is it (possible, then,for self-delegated power to com promise what, under the Constitu tion, is entirely out of their reach, and that which belongsßto the peo ple alone; and which would estab lish a harmful precedent, eventual ly resulting in the distruction of the ballot? May Congress refuse to con cede the electoral vote to our par ty because it is the wish of the other to possess a President or Vice President, and propose a compro mise to that effect? Suffrage is, or ought to be, the unbiased and unprej udiced expression of the free will of the people. To vote is a solemn prerogative conferred by the Constitution, im jiosing upon every eligible citizen the duty to exerclso it as he considers fit and just, guaranteeing him protec tion for so doing. But at this re markable crisis we know not what a day may bring forth. The political Pandora’s box has been opened, and no sooner has one evil been destroyed than up springs another equally as formidable and diabolical as the first. If fraud and corruption can render a country virtuous and great, surely we may proudly boast of vault ing pre-eminently higher than any nation upon the surface of the broad and extensive earth. *. NOTES FROM ATLANTA. ' GEN. TOOMBS AND MB. STEPHENS AT THE XIMBALI. HOUSE—THE ATLANTA STEAM COTTON FACTORY JUBILEE— THE RICHINGB-BERNAUD OPERA TROUPE IN “MARTHA”—GOV. SMITH FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR— THE "COMMON WEALTH” NEWSPAPER SUS PENDS—THE “EVENING telegram” TO BE ITS SUCCESSOR. Kimball House, Atlanta, Ga., I November 23, 187(5. j Editors Times: Having a few spare moments on my hands this morning, and having promised you an occa sional letter during my journeyinga, I will give your many readers some brief notes from this live “Capital City.” I find this mammoth hostlery still full of guests, although the most of the Savannah refugees have gone homo. Gen. Ruger and his staff offi cers, with their families, board here, and they alone number some twenty or thirty. Mrs. Lee Jordan, General Toombs and Hon. A. H. Stephens are among the most prominent guests during the past few days. Speaking of Mr. Stephens, you will be surprised to know that he Is now looking better than for years past— his only trouble being a rheumatic affection in his legs, which keeps him rather closely confined to his room, and renders him liable to exposure when going out. He took a through sleeping car yesterday for Washing ton, and his friends hope that he will get comfortably settled there by the time Congress meets, and do noble service in the coming crisis, which he apprehends will reach a peaceful solution. The Atlanta Steam Cotton Factory Is about ready to commence opera tion, and H. I. Kimball, the Presi dent, proposes to start the machinery in Centennial style, with opening ceremonies, banquet and ball, using the factory for banquet and ball room. A meeting was held in this hotel last night, and a number of large and influential committee was appointed to prepare for the event, which will probably occur just after Christmas. Columbus, how ever, has a more practical way of do ing these things, hence success and dividends attend her factory enter prises. Last night I attended DeGive’s Opera House, tfhere a large au dience were delighted with the per formance of the Caroline Richings- Benard opera troupe. The old friends of the gifted Peter Riohmgs (and who does not remember him) will gladly welcome his accomplished daughter and her excellent company. “Mar tha” was finely rendered last night, and I never heard a better chorus in my life, and this opinion is univer sally endorsed by the best musical talent of Atlanta. Mr. Harry Gates was repeatedly compelled to respond toencores, so beautifully were his so los rendered. Miss Richings won all hearts by her "Last Rose of Sum mer”, than which nothing could huve been more exquisitely tender. Miss Hattie Moore is also a charm ing actress and cultured vocalist, and I can assure the lovers of good mu sic in Columbus that they will miss a grand treat if they do not patronize this troupe wheu it appears in your city. Gov. Smith is still gaining strength in the Senatorial race, and his friends feel sanguine that he will win. "Chatham” of the Savannah Morn ing News, writes to that paper that Gov. Smith is pressed for a seat in Tilden’s Cabinet, but the probability Is that Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown is ahead in that direotlon. Yourhonor ed citizen has made an excellent Gov ernor, and whilo Norwood has also made a good Senator, thero are very many prominent men in Georgia who feel that nothing would be lost by making Gov. Smith his successor. The Comnumwenlth, a spicy evening paper, which has warmly supported his claims, suspended yesterday, but will be sucoeoded this afternoon by the Evening Teleyrajn, Brldgos W. Smith & Cos., proprietors, and Col. C. W. Styles, Major Sum W. Small, ("Old 8,”) and Bridges W. Smith, editors. If they can’t get up a lively and spicy paper, no one else need try. Success attend them in their new enterprise, and may they do good service in bohalfof Gov. Smith’s claims as Senator. Rover. mat of i.kttkkx.
