THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. DIAKTIM, • • • EdlUr. . j - --g-——: Columbu* Friday ~ PEgyuiMat y, im LARGEST CIRCULATION I* Ik* Camtl.a AOuml to Trading at OalvMbH. As far as beard from, Peter Cooper has received 71,450 votes. His ban ner Bute'was Illinois, where his vote was 17.100. Ur. FoKd, the enterprising theatre manager, who is so well and favor ably known at the South, acted with his usual liberalty towards the saf ferers by the Brooklyn Are. He gave a performance in Washington city oh Wednesday, the entire proceeds of whloh were to be devoted to their benefit, he paying all the incidental expenses of the performance. The Augusta Chronicle reports the passage through its eity, on Sunday and Monday, of seven companies of United States troops for Colombia, S. C. This is significant of more vil lain; to keep the Chamberlain gov ernment in possession of its ill-got ten power. Perhaps General Grant thinks it best to stir up a conflict in the South before one occurs at Wash ington, bo as to raise the cry of a “new rebellion." A Washington special to the New York World, says that some Republi can Congressmen are opposed to "oouuting in” either Hayes or Til den ; that they propose that Senator Sherman be elected President of the Senate, and act as President pro tem. after the 4th of March; that a consti tutional convention should be held at as early a date as practicable, to devise s new system for electing the President and Vice President, and that an election under this system should take place in November next. A Special dispatch of the 13th from Columbia to the New York Herald says that "the Congressional com mittee has been retarded in its opera tion by inability to force the colored Secretary of the State to give up the election returns. The committee has made some startling discoveries, and it is said that the returns of over 30 ballot boxes, which) give a Demo cratio majoilty, are unaccounted for In the returns of the canvassers, and other irregularities are discovered to suoh an extent as will probably elect the entire Tilden ticken." The New York Grocer compiles the estimates of the coffee crop of the several coffee-growing countries for the present season, showing an aggregate of 7,100,000 bags, to supply a consumption whloh for last season required 7,500,000 bags. The Grocer says: “The statistical reports from all the principal markets indicate small stocks and poor assortments, especially of the better grades. All this, we think, points to a strong market unless consumption should be very much diminished—a contin gency by no means probable. Of course, there are likely to be tempo rary periods of slight depression, but the average prices for the pres ent crop will not, we believe, fall be low the present range of value, and a margin of profit seems probable.” LouisuiU.—The Indications are there will again be two separate Leg islatures and two Btate governments in Louisiana. The Democratic mem bers lately elected will meet by them selves, acknowledging Nicholls as Kellogg, it is said, will aggravate the situation by refusing to commission the lately elected city Judges in New Orleans—the Radical programme being for the Legislature made by the returning board to nb&ttShtheso Judgeships and create new ones to be filled by appointment of the Governor. One object of this mote ts to prevent judicial interfer ence with unlawful acts. Thus one aggression and usurpation is to bo piled upon another—all, no doubt, supijprtcfcl by Federal bayonetn-un til the|§4pH[ab(e people of Louisiana will find the loaaof their oppressions and wrongs greater than they can hear. Old Si’s Suspicions.— Old 81 went to the theatre to see the magician performance the other night. Next “Did you see that man handle that irmntsy fast night '?” “I did, ter a fact |" “fie made it come and go in all forts of ways ?*' "Young boss, dat mail’s pow’ful slick wWsilber munney!” “What did you think of him, Si ?” “Dat man fool’d round dar wid dat munney ’telj he 'roused up my 'spish '‘Suspicions of what ?” “Hit teln lots of practise fer to make a half-dollar ’pear an’ dis’pear in dat etUe,” "Of course." “Dat’s what meks me hab a ’apish un dat dat white man one time de caaheer ob a freedmen’a bank, an’ I jess want to hannel him a few mln nits, sho’s you born l"r-AUanta Tel. A Mr of Ttui Traces. From the Qroencaatl# (Ini.) Star.) A Texan, visiting thin point, gathered arottod him some of our oitizens Monday, and entertained him with some of hie ex perience* in the Lone Star State. One inci dent told by him is worthy a place In oar “2WS(MBKSSs. , going toteli.

Yes, Texas is a great country, you bet.” The crowd concluded that their entertain er Was posted, but donated hteabilitv to stlekVlosely to frets. (rUKINC PLAINER. Our telegraphlo dispatches furnish some more decided expressions in reference to the result of the Presi dential squabble than we have been receiving. The Democrats of Indi ana h*ve called a meeting of the peo ple ait over the State and for a State Convention. Their call, in its word ing, uses the language of quiet but determined men, who demand noth ing but what they are justly entitled to, and will take nothing less. We hope to see this spirit manifested all over the North, and the Democracy of all of the States promptly taking a position so firm and unyielding, but at the same time so reasonable, as to cower knavery and disarm injustice and wrong. The only thing noteworthy in Gov. Hayes’ latest talk on the subject is his declaration in favor of submission to the decision of the "lawful author ities.” But who are the "lawful authorities” Gov. Hayes does not in form us. We have been accustomed to consider the people of the United States, acting through their chosen Electors, as the “lawful authorities” to decide a Presidential election. The people, so acting, chose 203 Tilden and IG6 Hayes Eleetors. By the manipulations of the canvassing boards and the disqualification of a Hayes Elector in Oregon, the division has been changed to 185 for Tilden and 184 for Hayes. But there is still a majority for Tilden, and yet Hayes talks about a decision yet to be made by “lawful authorities.” When analyzed, it will be found that his declaration amounts simply to an avowal of his willingness to take ad vantage of any fraud or usurpation which may change the decision of the people. But the most remarkable declara tion is that of Secretary Chandler, to the effect that Hayes has been elect ed, and his right to the position will be maintained. Considering the prominent part which Chandler took in the canvass, and his nearness to the throne, this declaration must be considered an important one. It sounds very much like a pre-judg ment, and is not exactly consistent with Hayes’ assertion that the yet to-be-rendered decision of the “legal authorities” is to determine the dis.- pute. Chandler speaks for the power controlling the army, and his lan guage sounds very much like an in tention to decide the controvesy in the way in whioh it was decided by the same power in South Carolina. How [did Old Zack ascertain that nayes was elected by “the will of the American people”? Not by the majority of the' popular vote, surely, for a majority of 240,000 is on the side of Tilden. Not by the Elec toral vote, for that has already been cast—lßo for Tilden, 184 for Hayes. He must mean that he and those whom he represents have resolved that Hayes shall be President, and they will use the power at their com mand to effect It. But perhaps Chandler and the Pres ident are only playing the game of bluff. They are perhaps presuming greatly upon the tamebess exhibited by the Democrats, and they are con centrating bayonets and using big words to prevent the exhibition by the people of greater resolution. If so, we hope that the action of the Democrats of Indiana—whioh will doubtless be followed everywhere else—will show them that they can not terrorize the American people Into the abandonment of their rights. In our opinion, if the friends of Til den had sooner given expression to their determination to contend fair their rights, it would have been bet ter. But it may not be too late yet, tor they have so clearly the advan tage in position and right that the American people can hardly afford to see popular government over thrown by the sword taking whst the ballot refused to give. CONDENSED GEORGIA NEWS. —A dividend of 93.00 per share has been declared on the stock of the Southwestern Railroad,(payable in Maoon or Savannah on and after the 20th instant. —Rome Courier, 12th: It is thought by some that all the oats that have been Sown this fall and winter have been killed by the cold.

Thursday morning in Irwin county by Mr. Jacob Fusscll. —A dispatch from Bherraan, Texas, Dec 12, informs the Atlanta Omstitution that “Colonel John R. Wallace, formerly of At lanta, was arrested here this evening on a requisition from the Governor of Geor gia. A writ of habeas corpus was sued out, but on trial was dismissed, snd he was remanded to Jail. He is confident of being able to settle the matter satisfacto rily.” —A fire in Macon on Wednesday burnt the “Lewis High School” (an institution for oolared children) and several adjoining buildings. All the furniture, Ac., in the school was lost. The Tetepraph under stands that the school-house and its prop erty was Insured for $13,000. The fire originated in a corn-crib in the rear of the school house, and must have been incen diary. •OfTM CAROLINA. Newspaper accounts, fuller than those of the telegraph, show that the situation at Columbia is getting more difficult. The Mackey House could get dp money from the treasury, but Mackey Issued pay certificates,which some thought would be redeemed by money sent from Washington, and others by contributions by the can didates for U. S. Senator. But the two Banks of the city readily cashed the certificates of the members of the Democratic House at sight -an act attesting strong confidence that it will ultimately lie recognized as the only constitutional House. Senator Robertson (Republican) in declining a re-election by the Mackey Legislature, very pointedly condemn ed Its usurpation of illegal authority. He declared that ho could not con sistently with a regard for the rights and dignity of the State, permit his name to go before a body constituted in defiance of its laws and judicial tribunals, nor did he think that the Senate of the United States would re ceive him if thus elected. He said: I am bound by consistency with all my past official action, and by my personal opinions and convictions, to hold that it is the province of my own State, having the same rights as the most favored States in the Union, to determine for herself the question of the constitutional and legal charac ter of her public officers. I know of no other way of reaching a final con clusion on such a subject, but that through the determination of the courts. Asa citizen, believing that all se curity for life and property rests in obeying and supporting the judicial authority of the State, I am constrain ed to yield to the final decision of this question by the courts. I should not be worthy to represent my State in the United States Senate if I did not both respect the constitutional rights of the State, and give to them mv full efforts for their maintenance, or if I failed to yield obedience to the constitutional powers appointed by the State for the determination of such questions. But the Mackey Legislature on Tuesday, as if in mockery of this re proof, “elected” Corbin, the chief contemner of the judicial authori ties of the State, United States Sena tor. The Democratic vote for Senator was not an effort to elect, but only an observance of the forms required by a law of Congress, which calls for a balloting on the second Tuesday of the session and each succeeding day until an election is effected.BEl The Mackey House on Monday adopted a resolution declaring Chief Justice Moses’ seat vacant, on the ground of his having accepted the of fice of Professor of Law in the Uni versity, and it was said that an at tempt would be made to oust the Cir cuit Judges also.

The year, financially, has been a hard one, and many a man comes up with but a scanty support, but all seem to be cheerful-no one is complaining.
