The “Treaty of Paris,” to which

and France are parties to that treaty.
They d? not consider that it binds
them to interfere at the present stage
of the quarrel between Russia and
Turkey. But if, by success in arms,
Russia threatens the conquest of any
part of Turkey,.the Treaty of Paris
would afford sufficient justification
for the interposition of other powers,
if they then desire to arrest Russian
progress,
Morton attempted by "snap judg

with the Democrats in referring his
credentials to the Committee on
Elections. lie will hardly stand any
chance now, as the so-called Legisla
ture which elected him has turned
out to bo no Legislature at all; and
thus the Democrats will gain a Sen
ator—two Senators in fact, for it will
be useless to deny admission to Eus
tis now—and parties will be very
closely divided in the Senate.
The Florida Union reports the
death in Jacksonville, on Friday
last, of Judge J. P. C. Emmons, and
says that he died of nervous prostra
tion following a long-continued de
bauch. He was one of the leading
lawyers in Florida, and was the prin
cipal attorney for Gov. Stearns in the
election contest In that State. His
practice was large and lucrative, but
he squandered money in dissipation
as fast as he made it. He was a na
tive of Vermont, removed to Florida
iu 1868 from Detroit, and died at the
age of 51. His sad end should be a
warning to all young men how the
most brilliant talents and prospects
may be blighted by intemperance.
iicidycs Smith's Taper, published
at Maoon, refers to a rumor that the
repeit! of €JW. Sam Williams, who
was sent by Gov. Colquitt to investi
gate the killing of Col. Mclntyre in
Gilmer county, and other facts in
connection with the raids by Federal
authorities in that section, is very
damaging to Marshal Smythe. The
report is said to reflect very seriously
■npoA* the motives governing the
operations of the Deputy U. S. Mar
shals aud other informers against
those accused of carrying on the illi
cit distilling business. It also shows
that there are only two or three stills
ju some counties where illicit distil
‘4mg was said to bo carried on large
ly. It is also rumored that Gov.
Colquitt has kept the report a secret
so qs noLto affect the question of the
appointment of a Marshal for Geor
gia.
Perhaps Gov. ‘Colquitt’s visit to
WashifigtQU, reported by telegraph
on Monday, has some reference to
this matter, aud if so, we may prob
ably expect to hear that Col, Wil
liams’ report has disposed of Mar
shal Smythe’s claims.

are armor-plated, besides a number
of transports, old ships in oommis-

naval force than Russia now has on
the Black and Mediterranean seas,
or than she caq concentrate there
skfdftly. Tie Tireaty of Peace limit
ed the number of her war vessels to
be kept on those seas, and she would
have difficulty in reinforcing her
fleet on the Blaek sec, as they must

there. 'We niay'sdon hear of Turkey

THE NEAT Hit EMIHENTI Al, ELEC
TION.
It Is already apparent that unless
some Federal law securing uniformity
in the modes of the next Presidential
election is adopted, It will boa com
plicated and perhaps critical event.
The constitutional provision now in
force permits the appointment of
Presidential Electors In each State in
the manner whioh its Legislature
may prescribe. The Legislature may
require them to be chosen by general
ticket, by Congressional districts, or
by the Legislature. In the late elec
tion all the Electors were ohosen by
general ticket, by the popular vote,
except those of Colorado, which were
elected by the Legislature, and those
of Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina, which were elected by
their returning boards. But a con
siderable portion of the Republican
party have already pronounced in
favor of choosing Electors by Con
gressional Districts, and as It now
seems highly probable that the Dem
ocrats can, under the present mode,
secure a “solid South” in the next
election as they did In the last, the
party policy of the Republicans
would seem to suggest to them the
Congressional District plan. Ac
cordingly we ilnd that the Assembly
of Hew York has already passed a
bill adopting this plan for that State.
At the New York election in Novem
ber last, though Tildcn carried the
State on the general ticket by over
thirty thousand majority, the Repub
licans carried a bare majority of the
Congressional districts. This shows
the advantage which a Republican
Legislature counts on gaining in New
York by a return to the old
Congressional district plan of choo
sing Electors. Indiana, also, which
went for Tllden, has a Republican
Legislature and many adopt this
plan. And it Is not improbable that
the Republicans will, before 1880, ob
tain majorities in the Legislatures of
Connecticut and New Jersey (the
only other Northern States which
voted for Tilden) and adopt the dis
trict plan for thorn too. The ap
portoinment of their members as
now existing gives the Radicals the
advantage In both States, as is shown
by the fact that the Democrats have
only one majority In the Legislature of
New Jersey, though they gave Tilden
sevon thousand majority; and in Con
necticut quite a large popular ma
jority is needed to secure for the
Democrats even a small majority in
the Legislature.
A Presidential election held under
these different modes in different
Statos would be unfair, exciting, and
perhaps dangerous. New York
might choose a majority of Repub
lican Electors though giving a popu
lar Democratic majority of thirty
thousand. Indiana might give a
Democratic majority of five or six
thousand, and yet two-thirds of her
Electors be Republicans, as her
Congressmen elect now are. This
would not be an election of President
by the people, nor yet by the
States as the Constitution seems
to contemplate, It would be an elec
tion determined by the jugglery of
politicians and the dishonesty and
superior management of parties in
authority. Such an election ought
not to be permitted if a general law
can be made to prevent it; and if an
amend (bent to the Constitution Is
needed to prevent it, such an amend
ment should be proposed. It might
be fair enough if the State apportion
ments were fair, but we know that
they are in some States outrageously
unfair and unjust. "We would not
favor the district plan, but a general
adherence to the present plan until
fairer apportionments can bo se
cured.
As for the returning boards, we take
it for granted that they will be abol
ished in the States now liavlngthem,
and we hope that no other States will
resort to them. If one does, all
probably will; and if one party
chooses and empowers them with a
view to tampering with the returns
as was done in Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina, the other party
would he justified in doing the same
thing, and thus we would have the
Presidential election virtually de
cided before the people voted.
The present Congress, with close
party divisions in both branches, is
well constituted so as to make an
acceptable proposition by which
neither yarty, nor the people, would
be prejudiced ; and wo believe that
such a provision would be ratified by
the requisite majority of the States.
The Forsyth Advertiser of Tuesday

as growing finely, and a largo yield is
anticipated. Tho acroage is large.”

(011.0 A MEN HI'KN UP, ANU FOR
EVER HINAPPEAH?
The question Is asked, because it
is asserted positively, that such has
been the case, very recently, and
that our Sun stands In the sanje
dangerous liability, together with
our Earth, as a part of the same
system—asserted by one who stands
at the head of astronomic science In
tho world—one who Buys It with all
tho assurance of a guarantee that he
would of the Earth’s daily motion on
its axis.
But such assertions uro liable to
very grave doubts, not only in the
minds of the sefentifle, but also man
of reasonable thought,aud of modest
pretensions. The want of a basis of
investigation, the great distance of
the object sought, and the Incom
pleteness of our observations, all
tend to confuse and bewilder, and
hardly anything seems fair to admit
but such exhibitions as fall under our
immediate vision. No ordinary in
vestigator can approach such a sub
ject, unless impressed with a sense of
awe akin to Divine reverence. A
disbelief in the burning up and en
tire disappearance of a sun and Its
accompanying system of worlds,
would imply thorough reasons for
such a doubt, and if none were of
fered, we should be in the same cate
gory of those doubters, who shed no
light where darkness is known to ex
ist, much like the opposers of “the
Copernican system, “our earth ap
pears to U3 the centre of the uni
verse.” Such is the rationale, how
ever, of all those in search of great
natural facts, and the scientific
world has arrived ut its present
knowledge by slow and almost im
perceptible approaches, at one time
wandering from already well
settled points, and again adding
more that is new and startling, but
upon the whole, steadily advancing
until the basis of further investiga
tion is a fixed and settled fact. The
difficulty is fully appreciated, when
men of science have not been able as
yet to tell the depth of an atmos
phere on any of the planets of our
system, or even the composition of
the inteilor of our globe; which
they suppose to be “a liquid combi
nation of metals;” but yet subject
to doubt, by their own admission,
although so near us.
On one point, however, all agree—
identity of matter in all the known
systems, and heuco are inferred iden
tity of the laws of force. Buns, also,
are said to be composed of the same
“liquid metalio substance,” and
liable to be burned up, and be lost
to view, and that no less than nine
teen in number of Buns have thus
found a fiery grave, withal! the sup
posed planetary systems connected
therewith, since astronomy has
found a place amoog Its devotees.
A more plausible belief in the pro
creative powerlof forces in a sun,rath
er than the inherent powers of self
destruction, would account more
readily for the subject in view. A
space must exist by virtue of the
forces made by systems of suns, iu
view of their plenitude, but are we
to suppose that the many billions of
cubic miles of space and its material
are burned up, together with their
solid parts, ir. one such burning of a
sun and its system? Think of the
collapse of material and space such
as this would demand,'and the con
oonsequences to their neighboring
systems, ours among the number.
The disturbance would be felt by all
the members of the universe, aud in
a way to dispel all doubt.
Motion is the normal condition of
matter, and its action is always pro
portioned to the number aud veloc
ity of these motions, as our sun and
planets reveal to us. All agree that
our earth turns upon its axl9 every 24
hours, and also makes its revolution
ary orbit once in a year or .165 days,
and in obedience to the orbit of the
sun, creates a third motion, as dis
tinct and as well defined as the two
first, in all three that we fully recog
nize. This is very different from the
motion of a comet, whose course of
one motion through his orbit is one
of rapid oombustion as well as rapid
velocity, on whose surface, spontane
ous productions of slower growth
could not thrive. Put our earth
through the same degree of velocita
tion and we might have the same
degree of rapid changeability
and combustion. Not so, however,
with our Earth and its conservative
motions. Their office is to restrain
and modify its action, to distribute
tho heat in a three-fold manner, to
supply the force needed for their sep
arate offices—giving life and consist
ence to the whole of Earth’s surface
phenomena, and of any planet or
sun, by the aotion of the different
seasons whioh they produce, the me
chanical rules and chemical analyses,
vegetable and animal organizations.
They are part and parcel of the solid
parts they represent, and no sun or
planet in space can divest themselves
of these rare and wonderful qualities.
They hold velocity and gravitation in
equilibrium—and if obstructed or
interfered with, in evor so slight a
manner, wo see and hear its effects
by disturbances in earthquakes,
and all their accompaniments,
thus encouraging a feeling of sympa
thy and vitality between the surface
with its atmosphere, and the interior
with its solid parts, at all times.
That the gravitation by attraction of
our earth must be the equal to its
gravitation by repulsion, the solidi
fying process is equal to the disin
tegrative, and consequently no com
pression of force necessary to such a
waste of material, as holding in solu
tion of metallic liquids, the whole
of the interior of the earth, compos
ing by far the largest mass of it.
This rule applies to all large bodies
of matter. There is no economy of
force for such a waste as this, as we
shall presently see.
There are but two ways in which
our author pretends to account for
these calamities. One is in the ex
cess of combustible materials of suds ;
the other is in suoh excess in their
surroundings as to place themselves
in oonstant dunger of it, from a too
near approach of some Immensely
largo comet, from some foreign sys
tem of worlds, rash enough to come
In collision with the doomed sun,
with such terrlllo force as to com
mence a conflagration, that ends in
Its disappearance. Our sun’s diame
ter is 10,000 times larger than his sa
tellite, our eurtb, solid and atmos
pheric. If our earth’s atmosphere is
from one to two hundred miles in
depth, and both sides governed by
the same conservative latitudinal
and longitudinal motions, then the
earth’s atmosphere would be 10,000
times less dopth than that of the sun.
This is, indeed, a large proportion
of an atmosphere, supposed to be so
combustible, but yet nothing in com
parison to tho solid parts of the sun,
for size, when in constant process of
oooling by its conservative motions,
tho suu’s diameter being nearly 000,-
000 miles, the earth’s diameter about
8,000 miles.
It tho Bun’s atmosphere should
burn up and be lost to view, still its
motions would readily replace it, so
long as they themselves (the motions)
were not disturbed ; but no force of
any kind could be found, in reason,
to stay them in their course. Buch a
force could not exist inherently, as
its economy is employed to the re
verse of it. No force from any body
in its own system could so far change
their orbits as to come in collision
with him—and the same rule holds
in all foreign systems. No body of
any kind passes from ODe system of
worlds to another. As well might we
suppose that our own Earth could
leave its present position tor the
purpose of colliding with one of its
sister planets, or the neighboring
plauets of a joining system, or
with our San. This is in con
tact, however, with the admission
of astronomers, who say that comets
pass in and out of our system, but
still it is notin harmony with well
laid down propositions in tho fore
going, and is liable to doubts, ever
so well sustained. ’Tis my own
opinion that a system of worlds, with
their Bun as the centre, hold their
own space against all intrusions
whatever, and to the support of
neighboring systems of the same
principles, of action. Again, if a
conception of the stopping of any
orb could be tolerated, wo might
suppose its disappearance by a terri
bly rapid combustion of all its parts,
butanother body of equal momentum
would be required to do it; but their
forces of repulsion being equal, at a
supposed proper distance, forbids
such hypothesis. ’Tis too much to
admit, without greater correspond
ing proof, and stultifies the intelli
gence that all the well known laws
of science inculcate.
THE CONVENTION <|l ETION.
When Bullock Can Proudly Return to
Georgia!
Editors Times: No man has ever
been more censured and condemned
in Georgia for the past eight or nine
years than Ex-Gov. Rufus B. Rullock.
He has been charged with heading
and controlling a set of carpet-bag
gers, scalawags and negroes in 1868,
and forming a State constitution
whioh he claimed was for the best
interests of the whole people of
Georgia, but which the whole white
people of Georgia (with very few ex
ceptions) pronounced false, and on
the other hand contended that he had
fixed up a constitution for his own
benefit, and for the benefit of bis own
tribe, &c., and in opposition to the
best interests of the great body of the
tax-payers and property-holders of
the State.
Under this constitution, formed by
Bullock and his friends, he (Bullock)
became Governor—and as he said he
was “on the make,” he exercised all
sorts of powers under it, for his own
benefit and for the benefit of his
friends. Besides raising and squan
dering large amounts of the people’s
money, in accordance with plain pro
visions in said constitution, he did
other tbiDgs that Gov. Smith and
others deemed criminally wrong—
and, through fear of rough treatment,
after a large majority of Democrats
were elected to the Legislature, Bul
lock ran away. But, finally, upon a
requisition on the Governor of the
State of New York, he was brought
back to Georgia and put under bonds
to stand his trial in Fulton Superior
Court. The cases against him have
not yet been tried—the “mills grind
slowly’’—and Bullock, I guess, at
this time Is watching with no little
interest the result of the Convention
question in Georgia!
And well may Bullock “raise up
his heed” and begin to “feel his
keeping,” when he hears that there
is a “strong opposition in Georgia to
a Convention, or to altering or amend
ing” his State constitution, for which
he has been so much abused by the
people of Georgia. Aud if, in June
next, a majority of the people of the
State should decide that we should
have no Convention, and that none of
our wisest and best men can form,
upon the whole, as good a constitu
tion, much less a belter one, than Bul
lock & Cos., I think that he (Bullock)
can proudly return to Georgia shortly
thereafter, and claim from a gener
ous, grateful and magnanimous peo
ple a full set-off for the wrong-doings
charged upon him, and for which he
has been put under bonds.
If, upon looking closely into the
Bullock constitution, a majority of
our people should come to the con
clusion that they did Bullock and his
carpet-baggers and others great in
justice, and that the constitution
formed by these men is a better one
for us than any or all of our best and
wisest oitiz ns can make, and Bul
lock should plead that he only acted
under the constitution and laws that
he had made (and therefore ought
best to understand their meaning), I
don’t see why all of those who now
claim and ratify that he did such
good work for Georgia in forming
said constitution, should not “take
back” all they have heretofore said
about him, and in gratitude relieve
him from further trouble, &o.
If he and his followers have done
so much good for Georgia, or to have
made for us a better Constitution
than wo can make for ourselves, on
consideration that, while believing
that he had intentionally damaged
us, wo had viliffled and abused him,
had done him great Injustice and
caused him to leave the State—now,
that wo have discovered our error,
why should he not have a nol pros.
entered in the cases against him In
Fulton county, and invite him back
to the State to help us in other mat
ters where we want help? Surely,
one who has done so much good for
Georgia, as some of the advocates of
our present Constitution seem to feel
that Bullock has done for Georgia,
ought not only to be invited back to
the State, but should be welcomed
back with warm hearts and open
arms.
Were I Bullock in New York, now,
witnessing the course of things in
Georgia, I should not only feel moat
happy, and show to my friends there
how well I did in Georgia in winning
over many of her Democrats to my
work, but in the event of the people
of Georgia deciding, alter a careful
and deliberate consideration of the
matter, that "my Constitution," or
that “the Constitution framed by
myself and other friends, called car
pet-baggers, scalawags, renegades,
Degroes, &c., has been decided
by a majority of the people,
at the ballot-box, to be a
better Constitution than they can
make fur themselves,” I am sure
that I could proudly return to Geor
gia, and with pleasure mingle amoDg
her people, fearing no disrespect or
harm in any way whatever; for he
can feel that he has been a kind of
saviour to the people of Georgia.
And, Mr. Editor ©f the Columbus
Times, I have to say that if the peo
ple of Georgia should think the pre
sent State constitution a better one
than any of our own people can
frame, I think they would be a very
unkind and ungrateful people to say
anything more against Ex-Gov. Bul
lock. They ought to appreciate him
most highly, and treat him very
kindly when he comes among them
again ; and they ought most certainly
to have a nol. pros, entered in Fulton
Oounty in the cases against him.
I don’t belong to the “Bullock
crowd,” but I sign myself
Gratitude.
“W. U. T."
Mr. Editor: In a very lengthy
communication that I do not propose
herfe and now to comment upon, your
correspondent “W. D. T.” uses the
following language:
“Col. Blandford wants 350 members
in the lower house, Col. Ingram
wants 150, Mr. Cox thinks 100 enough,
UDd Judge Pou would prefer 44.”
Not I. The gentleman is mistaken.
The very line of argument in which I
have indulged in Hamilton and else
where, upon this point, is that the
efficiency of deliberative bodies con
sists in their beiug of that number
not too unwieldy on the one hand
nor so small on the other as to give
lobbyists a very small balance of
power to operate upon. The “44” to
which “W. D. T.” refers comes in
just here—that the Senate of that
number was about right, and that the
House, a more popular body, should
be 100 or 125 members. Such was my
view at Hamilton, and to that view
and opiuioa I still adhere.
Yours, &e.,
Joseph F. Pou.
