Tax papers from Montgomery hav ing failed to reaeh ua yesterday, we are unabUto make a notice of the proceedings of the Legislature of Alabama on Monday. Tax Presidential canvas* wax de moralizing in several ways. It la evident that Bob Ingeraoll succeeded in convincing Chamberlain, Htearna and Kellogg, and many of their par tisans, that there is no hell. Is consequence of a demand for shipment to China, silver trade dol lars rose to par In Han Francisco on Saturday. The demand is so great that It Is expected coinage ftt the mint will be lively for some timp. Axd now the Radicals of the “bloody shirt” persuasion have dis covered that Gov. Hendricks and Jefferson Davis travelled west from New York on the samo train, a few days ago. They are trembling In an ticipation of a “new rebellion.” Spkncib, of Alabama, is reported by a Washington special to the Cin cinnati Enquirer as saying that the Presidential election was a sham in Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas, as well as Louisiana and Houth Caro lina, and that he Is opposed to giv ing the election to either Hayes or Tilden. Headded: “The Senate will order anew election; in the mean time Grant will hold over.” This Toledo Blade says that Gov. Hayes visited its city on Friday, when quite a number of amusing in cidents occurred. One gentleman approached him, and, shaking him warmly by the hand, said: “Govern or, allow me to congratulate you, l— l—guess, on being elected Fresi dent.” "That reminds me,” said the Gov ernor, smiling, "of a congratulation another gentleman tendered me the other day. ‘I congratulate you,’ he said, ‘on your going into the White j House, if you are elected; and if not, allow me to tender you my congratu lations on your narrow escape.’ ” The Washington Nation of Satur day says that Mr. Terrell, the Repre sentative elect from Colorado, "will undoubtedly be refused his seat, on the ground that his election occur red before Colorado was a State reg ularly admitted into the Union.” The rejection of Terrell will add an other complication to the Presiden tial squabble, for he and the Legislature which elected the Elec tors were chosen on the same day. The Democrats assert that the "En abling Act" admitting Colorado to the Union was unconstitutional, and that the constitutional convention transcended the constitution when it fixed the time and manner of chosing the Electors of Colorado, as the con stitution distinctly states that the legislature of such State shall pre scribe the time and method of chos ing Electors. ' T How It Was Dom—The recent dis claimers by Gens. Grant and Ruger that they intended to use the troops of the United States in forcing Dem ocratic members out of the legisla tive bails of South Carolina, make it proper to refer to the order# and in structions on the subject. They show clearly that the troops were to beat Chamberlain’s disposal, and we have seen what use he made of them. Oa the yQtli of November, General Grant t in response to a call on him by Chamberlain, issued an order in structing the Secretary of War "to aid with the military and navai forces of the United States to maintain Re publican government” in South Car olina against resistance too formida ble to be overcome by the State au thorities. "You are directed, there fore, to sustain Governor Chamber lain In his authority against domes tic violence until otherwise ordered.” Secretary Cameron transmitted the President's order to General Huger, at Columbia, 8. C., with the follow ing indorsement: “In obeying those instructions you will advise with the Governor, and dispose of your troops In such manner as may be deemed beat in order to carry out the spirit of the above order of the President. Acknowledge receipt. J. D. Cam eron, Secretary of War." 'it - ■, > T South Carolina.— The news of the evacuation of the State House by the Democratic Representatives was rather surprising. They did not, of course, leave the house on account of any fear of Chamberlain’s constables —we all know better than that. It might have been to avoid a collision with the Federal troops, who were expected to support Chamberlain’s cowardly gang when a conflict occurred. But even this suppo sition is not consistent with the Democratic policy of main taining their rights uutjl actual, ag gressive interference by the Federal authority. We rather incline to the opinion that tho evacuation was in pursuance of advice from Northern Democrats, who deemed it the best policy. We hope that it may turn out so, and the accession to the Dem ocratic House of two more Republi can Representatives, yesterday, is quite cheering. But we cannot re press the apprehension that the Chamberlain party will now make up a quorum somehow (Spencer, of Ala bama, oan tell them how), proceed to legislative work, proclaim Chamber lain elected, and Gen. Grant will sup port the government thus set up. THE WSRK OF TO-DAY. The long continued anxiety about the casting of th* Electoral voto will bf ended to-day. The canvassing Hoards of Florida and Louisiana will finish their work “sharp and quick," and proclamation wjll at once be made of their choice of Electors. We entertain very little doubt that In botb States certificates will be given to the Hayes Electors. This is the consum mation which they have had steadily In view from the start, to reach which they bad to resort to many sharp practices and devious ways, but to wards wbloh they have unscru pulously progressed In spite of all difficulties. According to the Elec toral vote thus made up, Hayes will have 185, and Tilden 184— unless Gov. Grover refuses to recognize one of the Oregon Hayes Electors. This will at once transfer the scene of excitement and contention from the Southern State capitals to the halls of Congress. Against tho in iquities perpetrated by the Govern ors and canvassing boards of South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, backed by Gen. Grant with the army of the United States, the Democratic House of Representatives will make Indignant protest and denunciation. Whether it will be deemed worth while to attempt the impeaohment of the President in the last threo months of his administration, and to devote to this work most of the short time left of the present Congness, is rather uncertain. We are of the opinion that “the play will be hardly worth the candle,” especially in view of the strong parti san character of tho Senate. But the House has already Instituted inqui ries to ascertain the truth about the eleotlons in the Southern States whoso votes are fraudulently counted for Hayes, sad it Is greatly to be hoped, la the interest of law, de cency and justice, that means will be found to defeat the most Infamous and treasonable conspiracy ever known in our history. From this time until the middle of February, when the Electoral vote has to be counted, the proceedings of Congress will be "red hot," and the lexcitement throughout the country 'will be apt. to intensify rather than subside. COVniiNSEO CKUUCU —Misses Hattie and Lula,young daugh ters of Mr. J. L. Gow of Augusta, were severely burned on'.Saturday morning at their father’s house. The dress of one of them caught fire, and her sister's dress was also set on fire while trying to put out the flames. The fire was smothered by a gentleman wrapping his overcoat around them, but not t until both were painfully burnt. —The Democrats of Macon have re solved to make nominations for Mayor, Clerk and Treasurer to-day, by primary election. The several wards are also re quested to make nominations for Alder men hereafter. —Judge John B. Weems died last week In Macon, The Telegraph says that he was a native of Wilkes county, won distinc tion as a criminal lawyer, was a Solicitor General, and when the bill was passed creating the County Court of Bibb he was Itsflrst Judge. —The CunstUutionaliat says It is report ed that David Porter, of the Custom House, is to take the Postmastorship of the Augusta Post Office,Vico C, H. Prince, the present Augusta Postmaster. —The Telegraph Sayß that an old negrp woman, known as Granny Patiqnce, died In East Macon, on last Sunday, at the ad vanced ago of 113 years. She was once the slave of the father of the late Judge Groee, and Is believed to have been fully as old as she claimed to be. —Tile Atlanta Qnwtilution, which has heretofore opposed the call ot a Constitu tional Convention, now says that l£ thinks the time propitious for calling one, and that there are desirable changes in the organic law which can only be secured by a Convention. —Carrollton Times; J.r. Cole,Esq.,Phlttp Crutchfield, Samuel Stovall, Mack Brock, and J. F. Cole and family, all living near this place, left on the 23rd ultimo for northeastern Arkansas. The first two go for the purpose of prospecting the country, the others to locate. -i-Hawklnsville Dispatch: Mr. Zacha riah Hall, of DoolV county, died on the 7th day ot November 1876, aged ninety one years. Mr. Hall was probably the oldest man in this part of Georgia, and for his services in the war of 1812 he re ceived regularly a pension of about $96 per annum from the United States Gov ernment. Murat Halstead’s statement that' Congressman Lamar declined a con ference with Hayes, and the reason given therefor, would seem to give some support to the report that an attempt to arrango an understanding between Hayes and the Southern Detnoerata.has been made. We like Lamar’s answer, if this was the ob ject. If there should be any backing down from the Democratic claim of a clear triumph in the Presidential election. Jet not the giving way occur in the Southern line. (Sold In the Black Bills—xwrgeta a* hi* as Robins- Emt*. From the St. Usui Diejtch. 1 W. J. Bowman just in from the Black Hills, brings confirmatory in formation regarding the reoent dis covery of Dew and rich gold diggings near Wolf Mountain. Mr. B. says the excitement in Deadwood over the discovery is the most Intense yet, since the location of Custer CSty. The party who discovered the new diggings were only absent a few weeks, returning for provisions. They brought with them nuggets as large as robins’eggs in great, num ber, and dust to the value of many hundred dollars. The exodus from Deadwood was daily increasing, miners going on horseback and on foot, with their traps packed on oxen. Such a stampede has not oc curred in the Hills before, and among the gold hunters the gener al impression prevails that the grand lead is struck at last. A French chemist makes the remarka ble announcement that the mere presence of an iron bar in a box of grain, biscuit and the like will prevent both decav and attacks of insects. Its not an expensive experiment, any way. LETTERS FROM NEW ORLEANS. The Returning Board Will Dive Luu uiHim to Hayes. WHAT WILL THE PEOPLE IK) ? New Orleans, La., Dec, 3, 1876. Editor of tho Columbus Times: We arrived here on the 13th day of tho Returning Board. Both Stato Committees, Democratic and Radi cal, wero in attendance with their testimony and affidavits, as the rul ing of tho board tho day before re quired all the testimony to bo in by 10 a. M. yesterday. Governor Palm er's committee put In their appear ance, but tho Republican committee was absent. The particulars are too abundant for this letter. Governor Wells stated tho board would confine itself to the returns of the Supervi sors, but would bo governed by the testimony that is offered ; but he lied when be said it. We have nothing to hope for from Wells and his Returning Board. They could not decide honestly if they so desired. T|je Military is hero to force a false count. Grant and his par ty secretly order the vote for Tilden to be counted for Hayes. This they would do If they knew every State in the Union had cast their votes for Tilden. Grant looks forward to be dictator ;fyet he feels that an indig nant North would hurl him from such an office. The Republic is safe in the hands of the people und they will inaugurate Tilden and Hen dricks as sure as the Sun rises and sets. The South has suffered much; she can and will endure longer if needs be. Such Is not her fate—soon all will be well. Perchance Louisia na, Florida and South Carolina may feel the oppressor’s strong arm of wrong and injustice, of burdensome taxation, of loss of property and life. Ground down by all that Is hard and grievous for a free people to endure, they have in ttiese dark hours girded their loins about with patience and forbearance, looking for deliverance from an intelligent North. Not withstanding Kellogg, Stearns, Chamberlain and Grant are for Hayes, tho honest masses are for a fair count, and tho masses will not be cheated out of their chosen ru lers. TO-DAY. J. W. Patten, President of the State Central Democratic Conservative Committee, issued tho following ad-, dress; To the Democratic Conservative Peo ple of Louisiana. Rooms of the State Centra', ] Committee, Democratic Conservative Party. New Orleans, La., Dec. 3, 1876. The Democratic-Conservative Cen tral Committee announce to the peo ple of Louisiana that the State has been carried for the Democratic- Conservative ticket by u majority of (,8'JlO) eight thousand and ten, as will appear by reference to the annexed tabulated statement. These results are derived from the official returns made at the polls from all parishes in the State, sworn triplicates of which are in our possession, and sworn duplicates in the possession of the clerks of the parish courts. This victory is ail the more to be appreciated, because of the difficul ties nnder which it was achieved. The entire registration und electiou machinery was iu the hands of the Republican party. The Uovei nineut, State and Federal, under Kellogg, Packard, Pitkin, Gusty and others, exerted tiieircoiubiued influence, pa tronage and power against our efforts io overthrow corruption and misrule. Our eitizens were arrested and drag ged from their homes ou the most triveloUs and shallow pretexts, and the Federal soldiery were distributed in every quarter of the State. Not content with this, an attempt was made to disfranchise, through the United States commissioners, in vio lation of the the Constitution, a large portion or the white voters of the city ot New Orleans, which was partfhlly effected. In the country parishes polls were opened at remote places, without previous announcement, and in many instances were not opened by the supervisor of registration, in clear violation of law. Notwithstanding all this, and much more could be charged, the eitizens or this great commonwealth, white and colored, arose alike against the corrupt party in power, and east their ballots in favor of honesty and reform. The election throughout the State was peaceful and quiet. No out break occurred auy where. Our opponents, seeing the magni tude of our majority, started the bold and frivolous charge of intimidation as a pretext for throwing out a num ber of parishes where the most, peace ful elections were held. Affidavits with cross marks were manufactured in the Custom House. We have fully met all these charges with abundant and conclusive proof, and we have exposed the grossest frauds on the part of the Republican party. Your forbearance and toleration have beeu great under the wrongs and provocations sustained by you. We ask you to bear still longer. It cannot be that with the over whelming majority iu your favor that you can be deprived or the re sults of your victory, save by the grossest and mostglariDg injustice, such as will startle and disgust the honest sentiment of the whole coun try without reference to political parties. We have won a fair and complete victory, and it will not be torn from us by trickery and fraud. The voice of eighty-four thousand people ex pressed fairly and openly at the bai lot-box cannot be stifled by any pro cess that will not bear on its face a wicked and shameless fraud, which the good men of all parties must con demn and undo. I. W. Patton, President Democratic Conservative State Central Committee. This address is endorsed by many leading Republicans here, on the streets and about the hotels. It is the honest truth in a “nut shell.” BUSINESS is dull and no hopes of a revival until the elections have been settled. POLITICS are red hot!! the people, men, wo men and children, white and black, talk of nothing else—all is politics. The first question as well as the last asked a stranger is, “l)o you think Grant will by force edunt in Hayes ? “B.”’ New Orleans, La., Dec. 4,1876. Editor of the Columbus Times: Everything to-day wears a dull, si lent, Sunday look. Business inactive in doors and on the streets. The warehouses and depots are not cov ered or filled with freight. Tho news from Washington to-day, if true, will still decrease business, namely, the impeaohment of the President and General of the army. THINGS LOO* GLOOMY. The Impeachment of an officer is a grave matter; but If not Impeached, and Hayes should be counted in by fraud, and the House should resist, Grant would hold the office at all hazards until another election for President. Should ho hold over, there will never be another election for President! No, never! If he can trample the Constitution under his despot heel for party purposes In Louisiana, Florida and Alabama, would he not go to greater lengths for himself? If he holds over he will have no scruples in making himself Dictator. . WILL THE PEOPLE submit to such a state of things? Are wo ready fora Dictator? No I no! the people, who have elected Tilden will see him inaugurated, or go down under the sword of a civil war. THE SOUTH will not move in this civil war, but the liberty-loving men of the North will, and tho victory will be on the side of that party that has the most cannon. The Returning Board is at work this evening. “B.”’ Measure 1). Conwny sticks to it that the Juggernaut suicides are the fiction ol missionary Imagination. Juggernaut himself, as represented in Sunday-school literature, is fictitious. The word is a corruption of Jaganaih, “the Lord of Life," a title ascribed formerly to Vtehu— now to Krishna; and to either of these deities death was abominable, and not acceptable. That deaths occur in the immense throngs of devotees is notdofibt ed ; but Mr. Conway observes that when the Prince of Wales visited St. Paul’s, after his recovery from his desperate ill ness, some years ago, some several per sons were crushed to death, and fancies this fact reaching some distant island "in such a shape as to leave there a tradition that it is usual to sacrifice human victims in England on the recovery ofa Prince, as a part of a thanksgiving service. Espe cially might this tie the case if the sen tence were reported and interpreted by a priest, anxious to place Christianity in its worst light.” Ann ouncements TO THE CITIZENS & VOTERS OP MUSCOGEE COtJTTt.J r ANNOUNCE MYSELF A CANDIDATE FOR the office of Clerk of the Superior Court, at the election third of January, 1877. <lec3 te WM.

A paper containing full information, will be sent upon application to CHARLES K. LANDIS, Vineland, I¥. J., free of cost. The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the -well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market g.rdening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits ot peat nr muck are stored, sufllctentto fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in sn almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prslrte*. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive aa when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fortuity. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient ahella, of the tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in s very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easilv assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate.
