STICK TO THE REGULAR CANDIDATES. One of the most ridiculous as well as disastrous features of a political campaign in the South is the rabidness of so many men for office. No sooner is a canvass in progress than a multitude of individuals spring up, each one of whom rashly and conceitedly imagines that he is the salt of the earth and that his “ claims ” on the party are superior to those of everybody else. The true patriot is willing that the nomination should seek him, and'is at least willing to exhibit common modesty in pre ferring his so-called “claim.” If this was true in the past, how much more applicable is it to the present time? In old days it mattered comparatively little who was elected, Whig or Democrat. But at this period it matters immensely between Dem ocrats and Radicals. When the issue is of such moment, it seems to us that even the most selfish man who declares himself to be in antagonism to Radicalism should sacrifice every personal consideration for the good of the party. And when such a person is merely asked to make no factious opposition to a regular nominee, his refusal should stamp him at once as a political enemy, for whoso is not with us is against us, and he who divides the party is equally guilty, and perhaps more so, than he who openly contends against it ou another and antagonistic platform. The Democracy of Georgia, in the State election, have terrible difficulties to over come as well as the greatest of stakes to win or lose. They have to struggle against farce and fraud on the part of the usurping State authorities and the conspirators against liberty at Washington. Even with a solid and united front the contest is suffi ciently doubtful. But when to these ob stacles we also have added defection and discord within our own ranks, the prospect becomes alarming indeed. It is of the utmost importance that the Democ racy should have at least a majority in both branches of the General Assembly. To accomplish this grand result it is un speakably necessary that there should be no divisions in our ranks. But even at this writing we hear of men in different parts of the State announcing them selves, on one pretext or another, as “independent” candidates. We do not hesitate to pronounce such conduct, in the present emergency, unpatriotic, un wise and disorderly. We appeal to the gentlemen, who are no doubt good and true men, though a little selfish, to recon sider this folly. We ask them to permit the party in council to decide upon their respective “claims.” We urge them, if not nominated, to curb their impetuous greed for office, and wait for another opportunity. We conjure them to reflect upon the possi ble consequences of their act. We implore them to imitate the glorious rank and file who never waver under any circumstances, but submit to the will of the Party, and rally to its standard, right or wrong, as to nominations, and iu spite of some personal overslaughing. It is very certain that all men who wish it cannot simultaneously be nominated. Would to heaven they could, if nothing else can satisfy them ! Since, however, many may be called, but few chosen, let those Who belong to the disap pointed mauy trust this time to better luck in the future, and gallantly, cheer fully and fatlifuliy support the more fortu nate few who are selected to lead the van in the charge against, the common enemy.' We .trust our language will be taken in the proper spirit, as a temperate, earnest and well-meant effort to unite and harmon ize the party organization. If there be any persons who insist upon running outside the lines, he should receive no endorsement or countenance from true Democrats. There should be a general rally to the sup port of regular nominees. If any persons think proper to run an “independent” schedule, we are compelled to hope they may be defeated utterly, irretrievably and disastrously. Seriously and positively, we disclaim all personal feeling whatever in this case; but, in the crisis of our destiny, we have no patience with those who obstruct the onward march of the Democratic party of Georgia, no matter how considerable they imagine their “ claims ” to be, and no mat ter what masquerade they assume for the occasion. THE RIGHT SORT OF TALK. The sagacious and patriotic Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette, al luding to the disintegration of the Radical faction, thus talks plainly, squarely and to the point. It is just such a clarion note p.s is needed at this juncture, and just such a one, unfortunately, that does not always emanate from the very sources it should: “Os course the disruption of one power “ ful political organization must neccssa “ rily affect, more or less, the compactness “of its opponents. A united effort should, “ therefore, be made to keep the Democr&t --“ ic-Oonservative party well in line, and, by 1 “ all means, to prevent auy of its members “ from straying away in search of a politi “ eal raillenium. The shortening andlength “ ening of principle cannot be made to suit “ the stature of every man. There must “ neels be something like a bed of Pro “ crustis to which the opponents of this “ administration must be subjected, but we “ need not go to the extreme of cutting off “ any man’s limbs to fix our platform. “ The plank of a ‘ revenue tariff’ (old as <• the hills in Democratic programmes) may “ serve as a foothold for many. After these “ righteous converts have once stepped “ upon the rostrum, and learned to stand “ erect upon the principle of ‘ revenue re “ form,’ they will, little by little, become “ familiarized to the look of things, and “ walk around leisurely, and, by and by (in « pleuty of time), tread upon and cover the “ live oak planks of white equality in con “ tradistinotion to negro supremacy—ever “ lasting hostility to all the reconstruction laws; " and, in short, a full aad final restoration of “ the vital principles of the Constitution of our “ Fathers, rendered null and void for the “ past ten years by a set of mountebanks “ and thieves, who have usurped the Gov « ernment by intimidating and debauching “ the people. “ These ideas, though familiar enough, “ are given as deliberately entertained by “ every Democratic member of Congress o W ith whom I have conversed within the “ last 48 hours, and not as individual no “ tions. The Democratic-Conservative or “ ganization cannot lose, it is thought, in " 1872, by Spy other process than downright “ suicide, or (which, is about the tame thing) “ slaying its own tried friends, or driving the “ rank and file from the party by forsaking “ its principles.” Our State Election. —The Missouri Republican closes a powerful article upon our approaching State election as follows: “ It must be confessed that the Conserva “ tive party of Georgia are contending “ against tremendous odds, but every man “ who loves liberty and hates oppression “ will earnestly hope that the unequal “ struggle may terminate iu a glorious “ triumph.” The Colored Member. —Has the color ed Representative from South Carolina, the bright mulatto Rainey, been seated as yet ? The telegraph is silent about him ? Our Washington Letter. THE OPENING DAY OF CONGRESS —READING OF THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE—A STREAK OF HUMOR WORTHY OF THE “ LATE LA MENTED ” —REPEAL OF THE INCOME TAX GENERAL AMNESTY THE BASHFUL SOUTH CAROLINA COLORED MEMBERS. Washington, December 5, 1870. Before 11 o’clock this morning, people were streaming down dusty Pennsylvania avenue toward the Capitol. Carriages were rolling iu the same direction, passing over the modern pavement with a rumbling sound like that heard in crossing a bridge. The avenue was by no means in holiday garb. Piles of wooden blocks obstructed the pavement; smoke, rising from seething cauldrons of tar, obscured the view, and fumes of tar filled the air. But the day was bright and warm—more like a Winter’s day in the tropics than one would expect in this latitude. The people swarmed in and around the Capitol like a newly dis turbed hive of bees. The ladies were out in great numbers, displaying in their toilet all the colors of the rainbow and lighting up the dim corridors witli their bravery. The i’reedmen and women and children, too, weie fully represented and mingled in the gay throng like dusky shadows. The Senate Chamber was redolent of varnish, shiney as anew beaver witli its furnished fittings, and resplendent with its new Wilton carpeting of green and gold. But even the first day of a se-ision, the crowded galleries and the presence of citi zens on the floo.\ could not rob this end of the Capitol of that dullness which, for ap pearance sake* we call dignity and de corum. Grave and reverend Senators ex changed salutations in whispers, and the few outsiders formed a fringe around the walls, hats in hand, and wearing a meek and devotional expression. The House was, as usual, a Babei. Few removed their hats here. The majority rolled and swagged and assumed a rake helly appearance. The “how are you’s” and “ glad to see you’s” were shouted as though the speakers were furling the royal guard in a gale; and hands came together with a concussion like the report of a pistol. The concatenation of noises was deafening and bewildering. The gal leries filled early. There was not a seat to spare in the Ladies’ Gal'erv, and the Diplo matic Gallery had its full quota. Scores of negroes congregated on each side of the clock over the main entrance, a portion of the gallery now designated as “ the darkies corner.” Here they go to sleep and nod, snore in rows like gorged crows upou a fence rail. Boliemans, with sharpened wit and pencils, were flitting about the floor renewing former acquaintances, making new ones and laying their wires for fresh items. At the stroke of twelve the Speaker’s gavel silenced the turmoil, and the House having been called to order in due form, a prayer was offered up by the Chap lain. He had scarcely reached “ Amen ” when the little pages began to run to and fro; and then the roll was called by States, and a quorum being pres ent, business was proceeded witli. J. 11. Sypher, the notorious carpet bagger from Louisiana, and Joseph Dickson, member elect from North Caroliua, were sworn in. The credentials of R. T. W. Duke, elected to fill the vacancy in the Fifth District of Virginia, caused by the death of Mr. Ridge way, were next presented ; and then came an exhibition of Radical fairness, in an at tempt to refer his credentials to the Com mittee on Elections, equivalent to burying them in the tomb of the Capulets. The House being in a good humor, however, decided, by CO to 57, to admit Mr. Duke, and he was summoned to the Bar to take the oath. Unfortunately, he failed to ap pear, and his case went to the committee. By this negligence on his part, the Demo qrats have lost a vote, while the chances of his getting his seat before the adjournment are rendered very dubious. It was remark ed by many that, f<?r the past two years, whenever Delhocrats ought to be here they a v e absent; and the results of their dere liction have often been serious. No man should be re-elected who has proved him self thus negligent to the interests of his constituents. At live minutes before 1 o'clock the House took a recess until fifteen minutes of 2 o’clock, i*. m. The Message was received immediately after the House had again been called to order, and its reading begun. Many persons had left the galleries during the recess, and the audience was not very large. Butler seemed to be the most deeply interested of any one on the floor. He took a seat near the Speak er’s desk. When the argument in favor of the annexation ot San Domingo was read, members interchanged smiles and looks full of curious meaning. The re ference to the Canadian fisheries excited Butler, and lie thrust his head far forward in his eagerness to hear what followed. He is credited with having inspired this por tion of the Message. The President’s de finition of “ Revenue Reform ” is thought to resemble the grim humor of the late la mented A. Lincoln. When the Clerk read : “ Reveuue reform has not been defined by any of its advocates, to my knowledge, but seems to be accepted as (Something which is to supply every man’s wants without any cost or effort on his part,” there was loud laughter and applause, which the Speaker found is necessary to check. The reading of the message lasted nearly an hour. I will not attempt to criticise it, but have simply to say that the Sau Domiugo project is looked upou here as its most promiuent feature. The Senate received the Message a few mbiutes earlier than the Honse, and its reading was listened to on that side by Minister Thornton, Baron Gerdt, anil other prominent members of the Diplomatic Corps, who manifest great interest in the President’s exposition of his foreign policy. The reference to San Domiugo did not seem to be relished by Senators Smnner, Schurz and others, who opposed the treaty last session. The Senate signalized the first day of the session by the introduction of meas ures looking to the repeal of the iniquitous income tax and for a general amnesty. These will he vigorously pushed. Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, has put him e elf for ward as the champion of general amnesty, and will use his best efforts to free a large class from political proscription. There was great rivalry among the local papers as to which should get the Message out first in an extra. The American Press Association and the Associated Press re ceived their copies five minutes in advance of the local press. It had been arranged to throw the Republican's copy from a win dow of the White House to one of the staff in waiting below; but this individual, un fortuuntely, stumbled and fell in his eager ness to grasp the coveted prize, and this gave the Star reporter, who came down stairs, a start. Both ran like grey hounds to where their messengers on horseback were stationed, and away the nags went, neck and neck for a time. About an hour was occupied in putting the message in type, and the Star beat the Republican by about three minutes. The Patriot was dis tanced. The Bohemians are all complaining to night of the dullness and scarcity of news. The Congressmen don’t know anything or won’t say anything, which amoonts to abont the same thing, so far as the news gatherers are concerned. The colored member from South Carolina did not put in an appearance to-day, al though in the city. Ami. BY TELEGRAPH. f Associated Press Dispatches.

Smith was complainant and he defendant, and that he (Barr), the defendant., swore to the allegations in the bill of complaint. The bill was afterwards withdrawn at 4 o’clock, and the whole case assumed anew phrase.

London, December 8 —Dispatches from a reliable source at Brussels says Prussia will connive at the annexation of Luxem burg, because, first, Loraineisstregetically useless without Luxemburg. Second, Lord Stanley, in 1866. declared the guarantees of the neutrality of England, as to Luxemburg, would not involve the necessity of defend ing the treaty ; and third, Prussia believes England would not, therefore, oppose this annexation. A majority of the inhabitants, however, seem opposed to the annexation. The fishery part of Grant’s message creates unusual feeliug. England certain ly will not stand with the Dominion unless 1 here is the clearest evidence of right on her side. NIGHT DISPATCHES. Washington, December B. —Bontwell. to-day, ordered the Treasurer at New York to notify holders of three per cent, tempo rary loan certificates, issued under acts of March 2d, 1867, and July 25th, 1868, that all such certificates bearing date October 15, 1867, of the denomination of SIO,OOO, each, between the numbers I*3 and 359, iucluslve, were to lie paid on presentation at his office, and that from and after Janu ary 31, 1871, such certificates will cease to bear interest and will be no longer avail able as a portion of the lawful money re serve in possession of any national bank ing association.

The receipts of the concern were nearly $5,000 per week. Buffalo, December B.—The National Board of Trade passed resolutions asking a modification of the regulations upon the transportation of imported goods from sea ports to interior towns.
