The last message of Mr. llaycf

A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held in Atlanta last week, at
which an International Cotton Asso¬
ciation was organised, with Senator
Joseph. E Brown as President and
twenty-five Vice Presidents from
various parts of the Union. The ob¬
ject is to hold a grand cotton expo¬
sition-in Atlanta during October and
November of next year.
General Grant, in company with
Senor Romero, attended the morning
service at Plymouth Church last
Sunday’. After the service the
curiosity of the oiowd to see tin
General was so great that may
lingered in the church, whereupon
Captain Beecher mounted the plat¬
form and desired that the audience
would pass out. He added: “A
special service can be held if you
wish to worship a man. This is a
bouse,for the worship of God.”
Sensible Advice.
If we were to advise any young
man at all who is able to make a
livelihood otherwise, it would bo to
t'«chew polities as a means. We
speak from experience and full
knowledge, that a political career,
commenced early in life, nine hun¬
dred and ninety-nine times out of a
thousand ends in disappointment and
ruin. If we have pity for any one
who has the ability to a living hv
honest work and 1 ails, it is for him
who in early manhood throws
self away in a wild hunt for
thinking it the easiest and most
orable method of getting
this world without work
Hock Oazette,
Georgia’s Electoral Vote.
The Electoral vote of Georgia is
probably lost to Hancock and En¬
glish, on account of the discrepancy
between the State law and the Fed¬
eral requirements. The Statutes of
the United States provide that the
electoral college of the several States
shall meet on the first Wednesday
in December and cast the vote. The
Code of Georgia provides that the
Governor shall notify the Electors
to meet at the'capital on the first
Monday in December, to be ready on
the following Wednesday to cast
their vote. This'year the first Wed¬
nesday came before the first Monday,
—hence the confusion. The Governor
followed the law as laid down in tin
C >de, and called the Electors to nr et
i i Atlanta last Monday, which w«
after the first Wednesday had pas:
Fortunately, the vote of Georgia
does not affect the result or change
the scale; if it^did there would be a
tine opportunity for an exciting d's
pute, and serious consequences might
come of this conjlict in the two
statutes. The law alone is to blame
for this state of affairs. Georgia will
be sure to amend her Code before
the next Presidential election.
Tlio Census of Georgia.
Through out special Washington
correspondent we are enabled to lay
before our readers this morning an
official statement by counties of the
census returns of Georgia, with tin
exception of the counties of (’hat
ham, Chattooga, Decatur, Fulton,
Harris, Jackson, Thomas, Washing¬
ton, Wayne and WhitfieM. Aceoid
ing to the estimate of t,hc Census
Bureau, the official figures of
counties will bring the total popul -
tion of the State up to between ' lit
million five hundred and thirty and
one million five hundred and forty
thousand, being, in round numbers,
an increase of three hundred and
lifty-six thousand over the census of
1870 , when the total population of
the State w as stated to be one million
one hundred and eighty-four t oiis
and. As the present ration of Fed¬
eral representation is one hundred
and thirty-one thousand four bun
Ired and twenty-five, it will he seen
that this increase of population will
(upon the same basis) give us two, i.
not three additional members of
Congress, and a corresponding in¬
crease in the electoral college.
If, however, it should be deter¬
mined, as it most likely will bo, not
to increase the number of Congress¬
men beyond three hundred—ten
more than the present number—and
the ratio should be placed at one
hundred and seventy thousand, as
has been suggested, Georgia would
still hold her present number of
Northern Representatives, while several of the
and Eastern States would
lose one or more members.— Sac.

A Petition.
An Atl ^ nta telegram says a peti¬
tion was signed . bv about half of the
state Senators and Representatives
of Georgia asking General Garfield
to appoint II011. A. II. Stephens us a
member of his cabinet. Colonel
Frobcl is said to have charge of the
nothing movement. be It obtained is true perhaps, without that
can ask¬
ing; but this proposition, to our
mind, with all due deference to the
author, presents the sublimity of
cheek. We favor a practical age
but this is rather too much of the
utilitarian. For the Legislative
members of the foremost Democratic
state in the union to ask that a life¬
long Democrat be appointed position bv a
Republican President to a
in his councils partakes a good deal
of the unblushing be impudence. of Though
act that individuals it is
none the less thoughtless and assum¬
ing. The state did not give Garfield
a single electoral vote; and opposed
him to the utmost.. Mr. Stephens
boasts of his Jeffersonian democracy
which is the very opposite of the
Mr. Republicanism of General Garfield.
ed views Stephens is a statenian of enlarg¬
and wide liberality, but the
north would be very slow to consent
that the Vice-President of the Con¬
federate States should be admitted
desertion into Republican councils without a
of his party. The Repub¬
licans reward renegade Democrats
but none who remain true to faith.
General Key went as a Democrat
into the cabinet of Mr. Raves, soon
became as good a Republican as
any, was nominated and confirmed
as United States district judge—a
life place at $0,000 a year—and at
the last election, having been fully
converted, he voted for Garfield for
President. Five years ago General
Key was appointed as Democratic
senator from Tennessee. Such are
the seduction of office, that the best
of them fall. Such a nomination as
this alleged petition calls for is so
clearly useless impossible discuss that it would be
to whether it is de¬
sirable.— Columbia Enquirer.
