—
Show fell at Ooodwaier (terminus ol
the Savannah and Memphis railroad) on
Monday, and the News of that place aays
that it waa still to be seen on the ground
on Thursday.
The Savannah News of Thursday
gives the count ef only one box in
Chatham county, but that shows such
feeble opposition to W. W, Paine,
the Democratic nominee for Rep
resentative to Oil a vacancy, as to
Justify the announcement of.hls elec
tion.
"i aiQ i-
The New York Sun aays that it is s
moderate estimate that the attempt to
count in Hayes has already cost the coun
try, in the stoppage of business, in the en
forced pauperism of laboring people, and
the general decline in value, at least one
thousand millions of dollars.
Tna New York Herald contains an
advertisement offering a child to som>
one who will adopt it, for SBOO. The
presumption is that it is a white child
thus offered for sale, and therefore the
13th Amendment don’t apply. No troops
needed.
A majority of the whole number of
Electors is, according to the consti
tution, required to elect a President.
It follows therefore, that the casting
out of a single vote will defeat an
election, if the balance of the votes
are counted as certified. But a change
of a single vote from Florida or
Louisiana will elect Tildou without
the vote from Oregon.
The opinion is expressed by some oi
the New York bankers who arc members
of the syndicate for funding part of the
old fire-twenty 6 per cent, loans of the
Government into new 4| per cents, that
the loan is nearly or quite suspended, and
there is no decided prospect of its revival
until the political complications growing
out of the Presidential electors are ad
justed.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: “It has come to
light to-day that the administration has
established a system of espionage, em
bracing the whole country, and whereby
it expects to obtain early information ol
the movements and utterances of promi
nent Democrats in every corner of the
land. Included in the vast detective
corps set to work to spy upon the people
wh# are taxed for their Support, are Un
derstood to be all the special agents of
the Post office and Treasury Depart
ments, and where they will consent, to
undertake such work the country post
masters. A denial of this statement u\ay
be expected from interested quarters, but
it is absolutely true nevertheless."

How the Ulapuie WUI End.
Sprlsg&eld (Hui.) Republican.)
The condition and prospects of the
Presidential dispute change from
the force of a public opiniou that is
felt rather than heard. Outwardly,
the situation remains the same;in
wardly, there is a coustnuily lucreas
log couviction that Tilden is enti
tled to the Presidency, and that
by some process out of the present
entanglements and conflicts. Con
gress will secure it for him. The Re
publican leaders at Washington are
still trying to see if the country
will not sustain them in forcing the
counting in of Hayes by the discrim
inating aciion of the President of the
Benate with the returns sent into
him. They are less confident, how
ever, than they were that the Presi
dent of the Benate rightfully has
this power over the Totes;but they
have fallen back in as good order as
they can upon the proposition that,if
Congress can agree upon no tribunal
or mode of settling the contested
questions, the President of the Sen
ate must exercise the authority as a
eort of political necessity, and to es
cape plunging the country into an
archy -and they, or some of them at
least, ure apparently planning to
prevent any agreement of Congress
upon a higher and more satisfactory
substitute authority. Enough of the
Republican Senators, however, re
main uncommitted to give encour
agement to the increasing bope add
expectation that they will join with
the Democrats m securing the Presi
dency to the man who has been fair
ly elected to it.
—S. I. Kimball, President of the Atlanta
Cotton Factory, has resigned, and OoT.
George W. Adair has been elected to fill
the vacancy.
UVHT T. D4RKVRSS.
One great and significant differ
ence between the two parties to the
Presidential contest must bo noted
by the people of the country, and
must have Its effect in shaping public
opinion. In all the disputes thAt
have arisen concerning the votes of
States, the constant effort of the
Democrats has been to get at the
whole truth, to have nothing done
secretly and clandestinely. On the
other band, the Radicals have re
sorted to most desperate and high
handed measures to prevent a full
knowledge of the facts. They not
only refused the Democrats a repre
sentative on the Returning Board of
Louisiana (though the law required
that they should have one,) but they
Insisted on dolog the most effective
part of their work in secret session.
They huvo in every possible manner
obstructed a full and fair canvass of
the votes in that State, and people
outside of their secret conclave do
not yet know the pretexts upon which
they seek to reconcile their capricious
snd inconsistent course in rejecting
a number of returns. In South Car
olina the board of canvassers defied
the authority of the Supreme Court
when that tribunal ordered a fair
and open count. They put them
selves in contempt and submitted to
imprisonment rather than disclose
the actual vote as mat. Their subse
quent release by a Federal Judge
only shows that they had the sym
pathy of the administration at Wash
ington and of the Radical party of
the whole country In their efforts to
conceal the truth. In Florida, too,
all the powers of the Circuit and Su
preme Courts had to be exercised to
force a full and fair showing of the
vote as cast., and in this State as in
South Carolina, Radical emissaries
from Washington instigated and en
couraged them in their oontumacy.
All these facts show that the Radi
cals have relied on concealment and
fraud to help them in their conspira
cy, while the Democrats put their re
liance upon the disclosure of the
whole truth und an honest count of
the votes. This is so apparent that
many fair-minded Radiculs of the
North are ashamed and disgusted ut
the tricks of their own party. We
have a strong hope that Mr. Conk
ling had reference to this dishonest
course of the one party and fair de
mand of the other, when he Insisted
so forcibly in the Senate, on Tburs
day, upon the vindication of truth
and tho maintenance of the “honest
and true result. ’’ The American people
must be false to their character and
antecedents if they do not, in this
case, Insist on fairund open proceed
ings and an honest acknowledge
ment of theitrue result.
ANOTHER WARNING.
Wo copied, a week or more since,
an artlole from the National Republi’
can, of Washington City, declaring
that if the House of Representatives
should attempt to elect a President
(the two Houses of Congress having
failed to agree in announcing an
election by the Electors) tho mem
beis of the House should be arrested.
As the Republican is the organ of
Gen. Gram's administration, and as
the President himself has claimed tor
the Senate the exclusive power to
decide whether there has been an
election, this threat should receive
the serious attention of the country.
It presents a contingency not at all
unlikely to occur, and we see that
the administration is concentrating
at Washington a military force to
enable it to carry out this programme
it the occasion arises.
We now copy another article of the
same tenor from the National Repub
Ncan of the 2d inst. It asserts the
exclusive right of the Senate to de
cide whether there has been n elec
tion or not, and declares that the
House will be revolutionary and re
bellious if it should attempt to make
an election after the Senate has an
nounced one! It calls for the arrest
of the Representatives of the people
as traitors if they dare to exercise a
power vested in them by the Constl
tution, and which cannot possibly be
exercised without also vesting in the
House the right to determine
whether the emergency exists.
The following is the Republican's
last utterance on this subject:
Should there be on attempt to in
augurate Tiiden elsewhere, nothing
will be dooe against this movement
on the part of the Hayes government
until Mr. Tiiden attempts to infringe
upon the rights of the national au
thorities. The moment he does this
he becomes a traitor and will be
arrested. It is not probable, how
ever, that the properly constituted
authorities would permit such a gov
ernment to be formed even. The
proper course for them in case the
House attempts to elect Mr. Tiiden
after the Senate has announced
Hayes, is to stop the proceedings of
the House at once by arresting all the
members participating in this revo
lutionary scheme. The House in
this attempt might have the neces
sary two-thirds majority of States
Tor a quorum. In fact, all the mera-
Ders of Congress might be present,
and yet it would not make the action
of the House any the lees revolution
ary. Still, in the face of these facts
the Democrats in the House, under
the direction of Mr. Hewitt, have de
termined to elect Mr. Tiiden at all
hazards, if the Senate elects Mr.
Hayes, and thus Mexieanize the
country with a dual government.
They might as well know the conse
quence of such a schema now ns
when His attempted. They will be
promptly arrested and tried under
the revised statutes, which says:
“Any person who incites, seta on
foot, assists, or engages in any rebel
lion or insurrection against the au
thority of the United States or laws
thereof, shall be punished by im
prisonment of. not more than ten
years and a fine of not more than $lO,-
U 00.”

The wtate v. Terry.
From tha Ruaaell flegiater, 4th, I
On the 11th of December ultimo,
Geo. A. Huyes made affidavit before
the Judge of the County Court of
Russell, that John W. Terry was
guilty of conspiracy with Malissa
Lyous and others to murder A. R.
Lyons, and us the result of .-aid con
spiring the said A. R. Lyons was
murdered on ttie llihof November,
1876. Thereupon Judge O’Neal
issued a warrant for the arrest ol
Terry, who war then luthe city guard
iiouse ef Montgomery. A deputy
sheriff was sent over after him and
brought him io and lodged him in
the countv jail. There were some
witnesses in Montgomery whose tes
timony was material in the investi
gation of the case, and they were
subpoenaed toap{>earbefore the coun
ty court, but failed to appear until tne
sheriff was sent to Montgomery witli
an attachment for them issued by
the court,the cause of their absence
and appureut contempt of the court
was their inability lo come to Seale
because of their lack of funds to
come on. The sheriff brought them
here last Monday morning and the
case against Terry was then taken
before Major J. F. Waddell and Col.
W. L. Martin, representing the
State, and Messrs. Lewis and A.
McGehee, represeu ing the defend
ant. The Montgomery witnesses
were examined. The main facts
elicited in their examination were
that when Terry was arrested in
Montgomery he threw a bundle of
letters in the fire as soon as ho was
carried to the city police station;
that Terry went to Momgomery the
last of October as a watch repairer
working at his trade; while in Mont
gomery he told be was en
gaged to marry a laiy, Mrs. C irlisle,
(the former name of Mrs. Lyons,)
who, lived in Opelika, and they
were to marry in January ttien com
ing: Terry read or recited from the
letters that this lady addressed him
affection itely us darling Johnnie,
and wrote him not to go away unv
further, but to remain where lie .was;
that Mrs. Carlisle was to send him
some money, that he wrote her On a
postul car l and Mrs. Carlisle became
offended with him for writing to her
on a postal card, as it was calou'a’ed
to expose herand her correspondence
with him. The evidence alsoshotved
that, Terry was arrested twice, that
oh being arrested the first time he
was turned loose, ami that then on ■
of these witnesses advised or sugges
ted to him that he had better run
away, that Terry said he would not
run awav, that he waginnoeent of any
connection with the killing, and
would not therefore try to get awav ;
he asked witness not to tell
anyone about what he had
read from the letters; he further
bMd one of the witnesses that old
Mrs. Davis was the cause of ft alt: that
ir he ever had to go to the court
about the matter he would hang her
Suuh are the salient points in the
case bo far as testimony of the Mont
gomery witnesses show. The State
has elosed the ease so far as it is con
cerned and the defenoe has not in
troduced any witnesses. The defense
submitted a motion to exclude all
that was iu testimony ab >ut the let
ters, and their contents, because the
letters are not offered or proposed iu
evidence. The court held up its de
cision op the inotiou, HDd to-day will
render its rulings thereon. The
counsel too in the cause will address
the court to-day (Thursday) on the
case as it stands, and then the court
will adjudge whether or not the pris
oner snail be held over to answer
further in the premises should atfin
diotment be found in the spriug Cir
cuit Court.

EVABTS, BCHTJRZ, BRISTOW AND JEWELL
TO HAVE NO PLACE WITH HIM.
Special Dlepetch to the World.)
Washinoton, Jan. I.—The news
paper reports that Mr. Haves, if in
augurated President, would appoint
Mr. Bristow Secretary of the Treasu
ry. have much disturbed such Sena
tors as Morton, of Indiana, ami
L"gan, of Illinois, as Weil as the
President and the men surrounding
him. Senator Logan’s withdiawul
rrotn the committee to which lie was
ap)K)inted bv Ferry, was caused, hm
friends here say, by his determina
tion to have nothing to do with put
ting Mr. Hayes into the White House
since he is negotiating with men like
Bristow, about whom the Illinois
Senator speaks as distinctly as the
President himself. A conference has
just been held by these men, and a
messeuger despatched to Gov
ernor Hayes stating their de
termination.and requesting a definite
statemeut over his own signature as
to whether he intended to appoint
Mr. Bristow and Mr. Jewell to posi
tions in his Cabinet. The attitude of
the President. Morton, Logan and
others, was stated so unmistakable
that Governor Hayes, I aui informed,
gave iu reply to the message a writ
ten pledge that he would not appoint
either of those gentlemen, and soon
after it was announced publicly that
there was no foundation iu the uews
pa|er reports io referent e to t he form
ation of his Cabinet. This pledge
having been secured, the Senators
alluded to, with the exception of Lo
gan, whose distrust has not been
overcome, are prepared to make
more i>ositive efforts to Secure tne in
auguration of Hayes. This leaves
Sehurs, G. W. Curtis, Evurts and
others who have been talking ulnut
"reform within the party,” no place
to Stand noon, and makes it certain
tnatMr. Haves If elected must be a
mere tool ia the bands of the worst
element of the party.
A Mtnrj of Prwitr Knott.
Washington Capital, - Jones tolls ua
a good aiury of Procter Knott. It
will be remembered that in the fall
of 1860 Knott, then residing iu Mia
souii, waa elected Attorney Geueiai
ou the Clalb. Jackson ticket. When
Frank Blalt seized the Stale of Mis
souri in ’6l,heseiitold Col. Bornslelti,
at the bead of two German regiments,
from St. Louis to take possession of
Jeffersou City. Borusteiu was a rev
olutionist of *4B and a native of Hesse-
Cassel. At tiis approach Cluib. Jack-
Son tied to Noeslio, accouipunieu by
all the Stale officers, except Knott
undone oilier. As soon as Borusteiu
had established himself in posses
sion, with headquarters at the Blale
iiouse, lie sent a uorpoial and file of
men to collect those tiagmeuts of
the .State Government widen Jack
son in ids hasle, had left behind,
i'he corporal collected our J. Proc
ter along with the other fragments,
and marched him up to hcudqu ti
ters, where Bernstein, in full regi
mentals. witti sword und pistol by
his side, and seated tn the great
chair of the Chief Justice, received
blot.
When Knott was presented to him,
Bornsteiu began a speech as follows :
“Mr. Addomey Bheueral, der refo
luiion ish now gowblede. Der inn
■ierinl oaf der Butate Gufferment. ish
now in undislibuied possession of der
dhroobs oaf der United Miniates. 1
am embowered to effect a reorgani
zation of der Shdate Gufferment up
on der dhrue basis t>r der instidu
lions for vich our forefaders blet und
died”-
“Allow me to interrupt you, Colo
nel.” Knott broke iu, solemnly.
“Cerdainly.” said Borusteiu, with
enormous gravity.
“I merely desire to conserve the
accuracy of history,” pursued Knott.
“You ' bserve, Colonel, that the con
text of your remark would lead to
the inference that your forefathers
und mine fought, shoulder to shoul
der in that conflict. But if you will
refer toany reliable socouut of Ben
ningiori or Trenton or Princeion.
you will find them represented as
facing each other on those fields!”
“Gorboral,” replied Bronstein,
sadly, “dhake dal mau avay ;eshcoit
him by his iiouse vere he lifee,
und blaeo him under guard till fur
der orters.”
Knott tells me, says Jones, that he
hue never since ventured u|on a joke
at the expense of a Dutchman, par
ticularly if Ue was a native of Hesse-
Cassei.
