Ink, Rollers, everything, in our Printing establishment, con gealed, frozen, rigid, and with difficulty we get out another half sheet. We un prove our heating ajparatus*nd hope that the weather moderate so that we can resume our regular issues in the style we desire. To some extent it seems we misrepresented Gov. Colquitt in giving him credit for a kindly heart. It seems that Brown is to he executed. A wise man said “the worst thing you can do with a man is to hang him.” The worst tiling for the man and the worst for the people. But, we slowly pass from the brute to the man and must patiently await the process of evolut ion The organized democracy have the serious objection to Tilden that ”he lacks backbone.” \Ye suppose they mean he won’t fight when fighting is necessary topar ity success. The objection urged | against Thurman is that he is too I soft on the money question • Bayard is too aristoratic, and Hendricks too common place. Now, when the question is “any body to beat Grant, who is the coming man ?” The Georgia “organized” are casting about for a candidate for Governor. Colquitt declines, GitrtrelUisJgebly recommended, Lester of Chatham and others,and the hope is expressed that Dr. Felton will he content with his hold on the Seventh Congression al District. This is all nonsense. We are going to elect a people’s candidate for Governor. We are tiled of party machinery and (he system of running the State for the benefit of party “tricksters.” flic Rome Courier asks, “what will in* the party alignment of the Field and Fireside a year hence, | if the country is divided between ■ the Republican and Democratic parties.” We answer, frankly, that, as now, we will have no party alignment,—that is to say, we will belong to no party.— The Republican party lias ac accomplished its ends in pressing the Union—in reconstructing the States—in restoring a sound cur rency—in compelling the democ racy to ‘•ratify, endorse and ap prove" all it, has done, and now there is nothing left in it but the list ot dominion animated by all sorls of corruption. On the other hand the democratic organization I has no ends to accomplish incon- j sisteut with the republican poli- ! oy save the acquisition of power and spoils. It is possible that the independent democracy of the country may present a candidate whose administration will be de voted. not to the support of a cor rupt organization, Imt to the weJ* fare of the people and the prese*j vat ion of liberty. If, however,we , are to choose between two evils i we wiil make our choice as an in clependent, with a view to flic promotion of the public good as far as that view may he practical under the circumstances. Inde pendent though we are, however, we have no thought of following the example of Cato, who when Rome was split into two hostile factions, opposed both. It would be profitless, liko him, to bawl and beat the air; be lugged and tumbled by the rabble, spit tip- on and dragged out of the forum, and all because he would not for sake the lost republic and align himself with Ctesar or Pomu^. 7 ; A solid South is not desirable. The effect can only be to recover in peace the power lost in war, * to keep alive a gle by preserving the of the lost cause. poiit * * iiv|^"^E3ev neons ]MM^Ic voted and a wise federal administration. These, may go together under the CoM stitution, if the people will; bitffl the central authority with coni tending sections or political fa.cj lions destroy popular, their fierce contentions There is a great deal of instruc tion to be derived from the pe rusal of the debate on the Electo ral bill of the Senate of the Uni ted States. The object was, by congressional legislation, to give force to the provisions of the con stitution forelection of President. Mr. Hill said in substance, “if po litical parties will not regard the Constitution, surely they will not regard legislation of less authori ty. if the country is nearly equal ly divided between two great po litical parties legislation can no more provide against corrupt practices than the Constitution.” From the whole debate the truth stands out glaring and astounding that the Constitution, Congress, and our democratic institutions are at the mercy of the organized parties, each struggling for the control of hundreds of millions of money and the power to appoint hundreds of thousands of office holders. Are our institutions— ©nr liberties safe ? Will we pass through another political crisis as safely as we passed that of 187d ? It may he said that the country has always been controlled hv party domination. True, hut the conflict is now as fearful and un scrupulous as in the last days of the Roman republic.

Bullock abdicated the throne, the Atlanta Constitution published a remark | able document, which was called a “campaign document,” by that journal. The opening sentence we copy above. The campaign circular tells about the “vile clerk sys tern” of Bullock’s Legislature— the pay of members, the extra printing, the Bend issue and all the other tilings that have consti tuted the political text of the op position since that time. One sentence we will copy. “Any man who will start on the tremen dous journey of traveling through the particulars of Gov, Bullock’s ! aifninistration will wearied and heart-sick at dreary official misman agement-disregard of law, reck less extravagance and wanton fa voritism.” Will anybody answer this question?

We can almost see its frenzy at this distance, which would have come to pass, if Bullock had not been so kind to Solicitor Gen erals, and Joe Brown so generous with $5,000. No, I mean if Col quitt was not so kind to Murphy, and Murphy so kind to other folks. % Col. Thos. Alexander was arked why lie let Mr. Murphy into the convict ring '{ “Why indeed 1” using an expletion “because Mur phy is the whole State of Geor gia !!” Mr. Renfro is said to have paid SO,OOO as entrance fee—Gen. Gor donjearried two shares in his name one of which was for his silent partner Gov. Colquitt. Here we go around the ring— Joe Brown—with Gordon on one side, and Murphy on the other— chasseeing, as the dancing master says, to Colquitt, Renfro and Goldsmith in the front of them. Great fun to them no doubt— but death to the poor frogs, the tax payers of Georgia. Hoar Hound. The thermometer on Monday in Richmond, Va., was down to five degrees above zero. Tho weather moderated during the day, hut this evening the temper ature is again fulling. Along the Chesapeake and Ohio rail road west of Charlottesville the indications range from two to twelve degress below zero. The express train due in Richmond this morning was five hours fee hind time. The northern mail, due at 11:35 a in., was delayed nearly three hours. Reports from other points in the western portion of Virginia show similar effects of tho cold snap. The riv er front Richmond to its mouth is blocked with ice, and naviga tion is completely suspended. The canal is also blocked with ice along its whole length. The Tredegar ironworks, flouring mills and ether industries depend ent upon the water supply have been forced to suspend. Botavia, N.
