THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN 11. MARTIN, ... Ktfltar. OolumbiMh <!.. THURSDAY NOVBMBKB M. W 76. ; Mpiu ■■ LARGEST CIRCULATION In tkv CtmllM l mid Trn.ll..* Ml OolHanllM. This Ilepubllcana of tho Alabama Legislature voted for Hon. Ham’l F. Kltee fot United States Senator. SENATOR McDonald says of the Louisi ana Radicals: “I have no doubt the Radi cals Uavc determined to count in Hayes, but I believe tbey will tiud the law and the figures more than enough for them.” • * -T-#- *-- T&* President nnrl Secretary Chan dler hud a consultation with Win. M. Emrts an Tuesday. This may Indi cate a disposition to listen to reason and law, though Mr. Evarts is the only moderate Republican of whom they appear to have Liken counsel. A special from 'Washington to the New Orleans Denwirat suggests that the reason of Sheridan's recall from New Orleans was that he was wanted to take command at Washington city, which is in Gen. Hancock’s mil itary department. This is quite probable. Sheridan Is a much more handy man for Grant, In the work of usurpation, than Hancock, The Democrats of Alabama have made an excellent choice of United State* Senator. Gen. Morgan is one, of the most eloquent and able men of the Stats, and will be found a firm and ready defender of bis State and ]>eople when ever an occasion calls fot suck an effort. His opponent, Col. J. L. Pugli, Is also a man of dis tinguished ability, and would grace the Senate of the United States. Alabama is fertunate in having two such sons from whom to make a choice of Senator,and we are not sur prised that the race between them was exceedingly close. Parties m the Hots*.—The New York 'Mbune’s figures give the Dem ocrats 1&3 Representatives, and the Republicans 140—a Democratic ma jority of 13. In this estimate the Louisiana and Florida delegations are equally divided, and the New Hampshire delegation la counted as it stands at present—two Demo crats and one Republican. The New York Times says that the Dem ocratic majority will not exceed ten, aud it bewails the tact that the Re publican representation “bids fair to be weaker in point of brains and en ergy, asßcerteinly is In point of ex.- perlenee and parliamentary skill, ( than it Is in the present one.’* The Time s probably claimed more for the Republicans In Louisiana and New Hampshire than the Tribune's esti mate, and this accounts forthedlffer ence between them. R. 8. Thaws, a prominent, lawyer and orator of South Carolina, has addressed to the Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee a communication pronouaoing the re cent election of President ial Electors in that State illegal. He refers to the law of the State requiring regis tration as a qualification of electors. He says: “I am prepared to estab lish, In a protest case docketed for this term of our Supreme Court, that registration is Indispensable to the validity of any and every election in this State.” There was no registration in South Carolina, as required by the Consti tution of the State; and the Consti tution of the United States provides that the qualifications of voters for Presidential Electors shall be the same aB those required of voters for representatives in their respective States. Mr. Tharln concludes that the Electoral vote of South Carolina must be thrown out for want of reglstra tion. _ The New York Herald of Tuesday made an energetic protest against what the President did on that day— against a “repetition in Columbia, to day, of the outrage in Louisiana, in January 1875, when the Legislature was dispersed by Federal soldiers at the point of the bayonet.” The Herald adds: That act of military violence was condemned by Evarts, Bryant, and other Republicans, and should be a caution to the President not to make the same mistake again. The House of Representatives have both the power and will to impeach him if he should prostitute his authority over the army to aid the dishonest election of his successor, and set up a President at Washington as he set up a Governor at New Orleaus. Presl* dent Grantjcan’t wish to court [an im peachment when he is about to close his long carreer of distinguished, and in a military point of view, at least, glorious public servioe.” Postmaster Electors.— Apropos of the present discussion regarding the election, as Presidential Electors, of two postmasters—one in Vermont and one in Oregon—a reference to the law relating to the Post Office Depart ment will be of value. This law de clares that a postmaster is held to be in office and his bond fully holden until a sueeessor is appointed, sworn into office, his bond accepted, and he possessed of the government pro perty for which his predecessor was liable. The two postmasters in ques tion have resigned; but the law says that no postmaster ean be relieved by a simple resignation, and the two gentlemen may regain their offices after the Electoral Colleges meet. Perhaps, however, Grant and Post master General Tyner may see fit to make anew law, or change the pre sent one to suit themselves.— Albany Argus, 21sf. The Dalton Enterprise says: “A long train erf wagons loaded with emigrants and their chattels, passed through Oils city ea routs to Florida, on Friday last. They were fcited of Missouri, arid contem plated a happy future under the genial skies of tho South, They represented that many more intended to move southward as soon as they could arrange for the Jon r ney.” I ADJUDICATION OR COMPROMISE. ! The Now York Bulletin is a com mercial paper, which very soldom takes any part tn political discus sions, and when it does so, It Is ap parently In the Interest of commerce. It now bewails the injurious efTeet. of the polittcul complications upon the business Interests of the country, and, accepting the conclusion that the dispute about the Electoral votes must go Into Congress, it endeavors to find out a mode of peaceful settle ment or compromise. We copy Its propositions below. To tho first of these propositions— that any question of law or constitu tion which may arise should be de cided by the Supreme Court—we per ceive no objection, If an Issue can be made up in such a manner as to ob tain a judgment upholding both law and justice. The court, It Is true, is composed almost wholly of Republi cans, and has not heretofore evinced much readiness to interpose its au thority to>rrest Executive and Con gressional usurpations; but it Is the arbiter to which we have been taught to look as the Anal exponent of law, and Its high province ought to be a guaranty of justice and Impartiality. The proposition of compromise we do not regard with so much favor. Upon the terms suggested, It would lower our Presidential contests to a mere scramble for the spoils of office. It would be establishing a very per nicious and dangerous precedent, by upholding the sharp practice of in terested politicians and dishonest State officials in so manipulating the popular vote as to reverse the popu lar judgment. This is a contest In whioh the popular vote is opposed to the tricks and frauds of politicians, and if the people of the country arc to be defeated by fraud, or by compro mise eveu, we may never expect a fair and honest Presidential election again. The Democratic party, in this contest, have struck for reform, and the acceptance of such a compromise would be “reform” with a vengeance! It would be a surrender of the rights of the majority of the American peo ple, which we hope may never be agreed to, even'll trade suffers a little and the bondholders a good deal. We copy the suggestions of the Bulletin: Is there thefi any final arbitration to which this question could be re ferred from Congress? Why should not the Supreme Court be resorted to for such final reference? The competency of the court to deal with the issues is beyond dispute. The question is one that arises under the Constitution, of whioh the court is the supreme und final exponent. The acts of Congress, whether in the form of enactment, resolution or declaration, are subject to the revo cation of the court if by it deemed to be In opposition to the Constitution. Congress is bound to act within con stitutional law; and it is this function of that court to say what the Consti tution permits, enjoins or prohibits. Apart, however, from the jurisdiction which may be fairly inferred from the necessary scope of its functions and the whole genius of its relations to our system of government, the Con stitution, Art. 111., Bee. a, expressly provides that the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction in “all cases in law and equity arising under this Constitution,” and also “in controversies between two or more States.” It cannot fora mo ment be contended that Congress is superior to the Constitution; and if the Supreme Court is not the authori ty to say whether its acts are consti tutional, where do wo find that au thority? Here, then, is a constitution al arbitration between the divided Earties in Congress, whose dictum is Inal and legally binding. Assuming then that both parties are williug to abide by a conclusion reached through a duly appointed legal pro cess and to wait for the public ver dict on its fairness at the next elec tion, what.,is there to prevent this 4 dispute being settled without anv of the derangements so many fear and whiuii sensational journalism pic tures to tho timid public? It is by no means impossible, how ever, mat a method of settlement may be reached without resort to the Supreme Court. Politicians, as a rule, by no means desire deranging measures. Their Interest lies in a peaceful . administration of affairs, whioh affords them continuance or office. Very much of their zeal in the coming contest will be inspired by the prospect of gaining or main taining official position and emolu ments ; and they may be relied upon to make everything subordidate to that consideration. It Is therefore to be anticipated that, at some period of the contest, a time will come when party leaders will start negotiations for a compromise based upon a divi sion of offices and of spoils. There will be a great deal more of this sort of political wlßdom than might be anticipated froth the pres ent high professions of regard for superior considerations; and it is by no means improba ble that peace may be concluded upon some such basis. The Democrats could afford to accept Mr. Hayes, because they would not only have the House, but would also be the recipients of a largo official patronage, and their conces sions for the sake of harmony would be capital for them In tho next elec tion. And the Republicans could equally afford to accept MY. Tilden, because they would hold him and the Democratic House in check through their large majority in the Senate, while the bargain would continue to them a large share of the Federal offices, and they would stand the better iu the estimation of the people for having appeared to surrender power for the sake of averting possi ble national disaster. These are the sort of arguments that might be used by the leaders of both parties to in duce their followers to accept the kind of compromise here suggested. Upon tho whole, we see little to justifythe fears entertained by many about tbe possible issue of the count ing of the electoral vote. Although a serious dispute in Congress is to be anticipated, yet, as shown above, we are not without a conclusive con stitutional meaus of settling the question in the event of Congress failing to determine who shall be President; and so long as we have this to fall back upon, there need he no apprehension. The Boston Globe is authorized to state that Sidney Lanier will shortly bring out an entirely new and orig inal cantata, a portion of which w ill run as follows: Louisiana, out of thee! Car’lina, thee-thee, Florid y. Tilden cries: Ye cheat! away! Packard yells: Wo don’t! Hooray! Kellogg bawls: I*m boss to-day! • riiandler shouts: Yonr vote* shall star! <OMIKNR UKORtiIA MttWA , K<l, of Brunswick, lias been appelated Judge of Glynn County Court, by Gov. Smith. -Wa. A.

He was the young man who killed constable Webb some years ago. —The City Council of Atlanta has sus pended the collection of the tax on mem bers of the volunteer companies, until further orders. It is contemplated that the Legislature wfil act on the question during the suspension. —Two car loads of cotton, at the Geor gia Railroad depot In Augusta, wore dis covered to be on tire on Bunday. The cars were moved up to the canal, and water thrown upon the cotton to extinguish the lire. Fifty-five bales were damaged, probably to an averaged lit) per bale. ---There was a fire !n the section of At lanta known as Weet End, on Monday evening, by which the dwelling-house of Mr. W. M. Mlddlebrooks and four tene ment houses adjoining, occupied by ne groes, were burnt. The store-house of Mlddlebrooks & Barnes was torn down. The total loss was SI,OOO or $5,000, —John McCann was killed at the corner of Talcott and Cummings streets, Augus ta, on Saturday night. Tho coroner’s jury found “that the deceased, John McCann, came to his death from a stab inflicted by a knife in the hands of Juno Peas, and that M. Leas was accessory to the fact. The Deas fled, and have not been found. —The Lumpkin Independent reports that on Thursday night Marlah Worrlll, a col ored woman, stepped Into an old uncover ed well, about thirty feet deep, in the su burbs of Lumpkin. She remained in the well twenty hours before she could make her situation known. She was liberated, and is now doing well. —Lumpkin Independent, 25 th: Our farm ers are packing and taking their cotton to market os fast as it Is ginned, and the market roads show signs of much travel. Thereto much cotton in the county yet, and some still remains in the fields un picked. —Tho Brunswick Appeal reports the death of T. E. Daveport, Mayor of its slty, on Friday last, at the Macon A Bruns wick Railroad depot, as the train was backing In on the side track. He was caught between the “arms” of two )>ox cars, and twisted round until he fell to tho track, and then the wheel of the car struck and mashed him, receiving such internal injuries, that he died that night. —Mayor C. D. Findlay, President of the Young Men’s Democratic dub, has called a meeting of the Democrats of Macon on the first of December, at 7% o’clock, at tho City Hall, for tho purpose of organ ization and to decide whether or not tliero shall be a nomination of city officers, and for such other business as may bo brought before the meeting. —The Monroe Advertiser prints the fol lowing : A man who left Georgia last Jan uary and moved to Arkansas, writes back: “This to a rich country to farm in, but a poor country to live in. Crops are always good, but no one can hold out to gather them. Everybody takes the swamp fever. We have all lost all we had when we came here, and the only thing wo have to show for it to the swamp fever. I wish I was back in Georgia. I never would come back hero; and I would go now, if I could get rid of this infernal swamp fever.” —Tho OunatUntlonaUst says that John Robinson’s elrous passed through Augusta on Sunday* from South Carolina, on the way to Atlanta, where, it is said, the oompany will go into winter quarters. It arrived at the Georgia Railroad yard about 9a, M. It required soveral hours to transfer the menagerie. There were four elephants and a number of camels that had to be transferred. There were two special trains that conveyed the con cern to Atlanta. —Dahlonega tUgnal: Perhaps at no time in tho history of this part of the country, since the “Intrusion” in 1833, has there been the number of important dis coveries in the matter of gold mining as here of late. Only last summer the wealth of the Jones Mine came to light, soon af ter the Vesey Mine came to the front with an extraordinary rich vein. Then the ex citement centered on the old Findley, and within tho past two weeks Mr. Ogle makes tho startling disclosure (though it has al ways been believed to be one of the best) that the Pigeon Roost has more than mer ited the most sanguine expectation. On yesterday we visited, with Mr. A. C. Shockley, his lot, within half a mile of the court-house, on which be has been pros pecting some time. He knew that this line lead, on which is located the Pigeon Roost, crossed his lot, and after long and por slsteut search he has found it. It promi ses to richly reward him for his tedious •trouble. The Chinese Question. The Brooklyn Eagle thinks the Chi nese question must long remain one of anxiety and importance to the people of this country, and any and ail efforts to settle it will be watched with unfailing interest by justice loving people. The Joint Committee of Congress now in San Francisco have had testimony or the most startling kind furnished to them; and no doubt the present Winter we shall hear much of the subject in Congress. Three special points con cerning which there has been most testimony taken are the society laws which the Chinese enforce, de fying in so doing all municipal, State and national statutes; the in veterate gambling propensities of t he race, and the enforced slavery of wo men. Upon this latter point the evi dence taken is of the most debasing and terrible nature, fully establish ing the truth of the statements which the Ban Francisco people have been making all along. Let it be hoped that the fearful slavery forced upon the weaker class of that undesirable people will induce tho making of laws so stringent that the emigration of Chinese to this country will ha at an end forever. They are not sufficient ly desirable as citizens as to cause the peace and well being of society here to be imperilled by their pres ence.

THE JONES (.AMEN. riUKTHEII TfMB GIVRN TIC" AUDITOR. Tito two suits In favor of the Stats, against ex-Treusurer Jones aud the securities on his bond, were up for a brier space in tho Hupctfdr Court yesterday. The mutter wfts called up for the purpose of taking a con sent order giving Hon. James M. Paoe. tho auditor, further time in which to make his report. Tho or der appointing him required that, re port to be returned to court on the first day of tho present term. Mr. Paco has made an effort to do this, but tho evidence proved more voluminous than was anticipated, and necessitated bis visiting distant cities. The order taken yesterday extends the auditor’s time for mak ing this report until the first day of next term. It is signed by his hon or, Judge McCutchco, who is hold ing court this week Tor Judge Peeples. Iu consenting to it the counsel for the defence were careful to insert that they did not waive any of the objections they had originally urged to the appointment of an auditor We learn that the auditor has adjourned the taking of further testimony until the 18th of December.— Atlanta Con stitution, 28th.
