First lesson in political discus sion—keep cool. The 0 eorgia Senate meets on Monday next to confirm the appoint ment of election managers. t&T They are to have a base ball match at the Montgomery fair. That do settle it. JST* The French have at last won a victory. It was at Orleans. The tele grams say the Prussians lost 10,000 in killed and wounded and beat a retreat, . Dr. J. F. Alexander, is the unan imous choice of the Democratic City Convention of Atlanta, for Mayor. He is a live man, and will doubtless make a live Mayor. VST The Democrats of Mitchell coun ty have decided to send a Radical Rep resentative to the*next Legislature.— They have two democratic candidates in the field. The Macon papers advertise the sale at auction, in that city, on the 19tli insfc., of 145 horses and mules, belong ing to the Circus and Menagerie of the late Col. C. T. Ames, who was killed at Dawson. Convicts Pardoned. —Gov. Bul lock issued his proclamation on the 13th, pardoning nineteen Penitentiary con victs, sentenced for life, for the offence of house-breaking after ni<rht. o r ■» »- The Atlanta Sun and Griffin Star are disgusting their refined read ers with unsuccessful attempts to inform the public how low and mean they are in the eyes of each other. This is rath er dark business for such luminaries. A man may buy Gold too dear, hold on to Cotton too long, but cannot pay to much for Sumter Bitters when suffering from Dyspepsia, Heartburn, In digestion or debility. — tefr* We learn from the Cuthbert Appeal that an affray occurred at that town on Monday of last week, in which two brothers named Cobb, and a man named Duke, were engaged, and in which Duke received a pistol shot.— The ball entered the head under the right ear and came out under the left. It is thought he will recover. HSiy* The papers say James Robinson’s Circus was disbanded in Tennessee.— Arrangements had been made to make a tour of Georgia, but hearing of the murder of Col. Ames, many of the mem bers were afraid to come into our State and the company was broken up. The Atlanta papers say other companies have called in their engagement* in this State for the same reason. telU The Dawson Journal says the two Kelleys engaged in the killing of Col. Ames and others at Dawson recent ly, are in the Cuthbert jail to await tri al, and Mr. Russell has been released on bail. From what we have learned from re liable sources in regard to the charac ter of Mr. Russell, we believe the news paper reports —so far as he is concerned —have been greatly exaggerated. In the Suite elections held up to the Bth of November, the Democrats had twelve members of Congress in the Fortieth Congress, seventeen in the For ty-first, and will have twenty-niue in the Forty-second or next Congress. The Republicans had sixty-eight in the For tieth, sixty-seven in the Forty-first, and will have fifty-one in the Forty second. This shows which organization is on the increase and which ou the decrease. Atlanta Daily Constitution. — For live journalism, this splendid daily now stands in the front rank of South ern papers. The Constitution has re ecntly purchased anew and beautiful outfit, and is uow an admirable specimen of newspaper printing. Its gallant edi tor wielded his sword with telling effect, and so he does his pen. Its local is one of the liveliest men in the Gate City— if not the prettiest. Its proprietors are energetic, go-ahead fellows, and, alto gether the Const'tution is a *%eavy team.” Success to it. Try English Female Hitters. The New Candidate. It will be seen by a correspondence i in another column, that Mr. Robert 1 Garlingfcon has been prevailed upon by some of our citizens to become a candi date for Representative in the next Legislature. From tlie tone (f the letter and the character of the man. we cannot accord to him any intense 1 evil to th? party to which he acknowledges allegi ance; but we have a few friendly words for those of our frinds who have been instrumental in bringing him out. In the outset, we would urge our peo ple not to suffer personal relations to be interrupted by the discussion of political questions. Asa public journalist, and aiming to advance the public interests of the coun try. we are aligned with the Democratic party —believing it to be most likely to accomplish this end. Hence, we shall strive to uphold the action of that party, as long as it is consistent with reason ; and frown down all efforts to disinte grate and destroy the harmony of the party —no matter in what spirit these efforts may be made. The editor of this piper having been a delegate to the county convention, which nominated Col. J. C. Fain, feels called upon, as a consistent man, and a true Democrat, to abide the nomination, and carry out the wish of the party, as expressed through the action of that convention. Col. Fain being the choice of a large majority of the convention, and this large majority now holding that their nomination was legitimate and fair, with due deference to the opinions of our friends in the minority, we arc deter mined to fight it out on this line—feel ing satisfied that if Radicalism 'gains anything by this partial split in the Democratic party, the nominee and his adherents will not be the responsible parties. Whiskey.—A Tempera ncccand id ate for Congress has been elected from Ohio. We wish we could say the same thing for Georgia. We are glad the people of that Ohio District have opened the war against whiskey; and we trust the good work may go on till bloated, red nosed sots cease to disgrace our legislative and congressional balls. We have heard it asserted that if the wives and daughters of America had a voice at the ballot-box, whiskey would cease to control our elections. If we could be assured of* this fact, we would be a woman-suffragist. ■» Result of Democratic Splits. Lexington, I\y.. Nov. 9.—May, Radical, carried this town bv sixteen majority, over both Conservative candi dates, Harris and Reynolds. Will Democrats never learn any sense about this matter? The division of par ty strength simply secures the enemy’s triumph. What is the difference, in substance, in voting for the other side, and securing its victory by your divi sions. There had better be no party organ ization than to splinter in fragments and nullify its power. He is an enemy who, for personal purposes, rends his party. — Constitution. Railroad Collision. —From the Macon Telegraph we that a collis ion occurred on the Macon & Bruns wick Road on Saturday morning, thir teen miles from Macon. Two men were killed and one or two seriously wounded. Both engines were smashed up and sev eral cars torn to peiccs. The two young men who were killed leaped of! the engine into the mud and water and were crushed by the cars fall ing upon them. So great was the wreck upon young Foster’s body, that it took from early in the morning until 1 o’clock, P. M. to recover it, Ihe freight was. of course, scattered in all directions. Our informant describes the scene as perfect ly frightful. A strong force was engag cd all of yesterday in building a track around the wreck, so that the regular trains might go out as usual this morn ing. Tennessee. In Tennessee, General Brown is elec ted Governor by 40.000 majority. Five Democratic Congressmen are elected: Bright, in the4th; Golladay, sth; Wit horne, Gth ; Caldwell, 7th, and V aughn, Bth. The Ist, 2nd and 3rd are doubt ful, but it is believed that Maynard and Butler, the cadet-traders are elected.— The election passed off quietly. The contest in the sth was principal ly between Peyton and Golladay. both Democrats. Peyton was the bolter, and Golladay the nominee. The Banner advocates Peyton, the Union and American, Golladay. The result is as it should be. The Demo cratic nominee w.is victorious. He was a good man and worthy of success.— \\ ithout understanding the merits of the contest, we. on principle, decide against independent candidates, the result of whose bolting candidacy is to destroy pirty unity, and give success to the ene my. The prima, fade judgment is agaiust the patriotism of bolters.—At lanta Constitution. h » Yesterday in the case of W. R. Phillips vs Colonel J. J. Morrison, aud William Solomon, surety, a judgment was rendered in favor of the and jicndant, it being held that the taking of the Bankrupt Law by the principal (Colo nel 31) relieved the surety, (Mr. S.) About 88,000 was involved in the case. ! Hammond and Mynatt for plaintiff.— j Hammond & Sous, General L. J. Gar ; trell. Colonel G. N. Lester, for defend ant.— Confutation. [communicated.] To the True Democrats of Gordon County. Mr Editor : 1, as a citizen of Gor don county for a number of years, and as a true Democrat, opposed to every M«rc which his a tendency o to defeat that organization—as one who is satis fied that iii its success alone depends the j future prosperity <4* our country —de- s re to state through your columns a few facts. I learn from undoubted sources on , the streets, that Robt, Garlingt n. Esq. has determined to run as an independ ent candidate for the lower branch of the General Assembly, against the duly nominated candidate, J. C. Fain. lam j informed that he pretends to come be fore the people at the request of* many citizens. I want to know who these j many citizens are; .and would ask. Mr. i Editor, if they are not four or five d!s affected depmerats ? Is not their oppo sition based wh illy upon the idea that their greedy ambition was foiled when, on the 24th of September, the people’s delegates declared that J. 0. Fain was their choice, and the choice of the true democracy, which they represented ? Tt is quite true that some good men. who were before the convention have taken the field for the nominee, and have shown their manhood by standing firm ly by the nomination—though they may have desired it themselves. I was present at the nomination, and saw it all. Every Democrat who came to that convention (3(3 in number) was duly appointed by his respective militia district, to represent the Democracy of his District —and did it. One or two and 'legations, as can be proven, declared they would not abide the result of the convention, unless the man of their choice was nominated. Is that true democracy ? The convention met. The two-thirds rule was adopted. On the first billot, Col. Fain—though he had stated to the convention, in a manly way, that he did not desire the nomination, unless it was clearly the will or the people, through their delegates, and 'that he had nev r canvassed the county lor it, but would be proud to represent them, if they saw proper to nominate him—received of the thirty six votes, twenty two. This majority was such that it was moved that he be declared the nominee of* the party by acclamation. The mo tion was carried, and he was so declared by the presiding officer. Some not understanding the motion, but every one voting who was opposed t> Fain, thirty-two of the thirty six del egates voted —only nine against him— giving Fain five votes over the two thirds of* those voting. Now, what I desire to state more par ticularly, is this: If there had been an other b illot, Fain would have received twenty six votes, beyond all doubt— and lam willing, and can give the names of each one over their own sig natures, if the belters or scratchers do sire it. I have never, in all my life, seen a fairer nomination ; and never before, in Gordon county, saw the will of the peo ple more fully represented. Now, L Would say to the disaffected parties, if* they are true Democrats, they arc compelled to acknowledge that their opposition to the organization makes against the true interests of that party. Look well. Democrats of Gordon county, to what might be the result of* this opposition. Ido believe, most can didly, that the course of the dis (Feeted will aid and abet the opp sit ion, though there may be no such intention. Tt is well known, that Mr. Garlington will barely be a citizen of Gord n coun ty, with all the privileges of the elec tive franchise, when the election comes off—he having lived elsewhere until re cently. A man’s domicil determines his citizenship and eligibility. Democrats, stand firm by your organ ization. Lot no bolting or scratching deter you or drive y >u from our regu larly nominated candidate. Democrat. Stamp Lav’~. The fallowing, relative to the amend ed stamp laws, may be of service to some of our readers : Ist. An instrument issued unstamped at a time when and in a place where no collection district was established, may be stamped by the party who issued it, or by any party having an interest there in. at any time prior to January Ist. 1872, and the legal effect of the stamp thus affixed will be the same as though affixed by the proper collector. 2d. In the case of* instruments issued' unstamped, or insufficiently stamped, since the establishment of* the collection district, the collector is authorized to affix the necessary stamp upon payment if th) price of the stamp required by law, a penalty of and mble the amount re maining unpaid, hut in no case less than five dollars, and where the whole amount of the tax denoted by the stamp required shall exceed the sum of fifty dollars, up on payment also of interest at the rate of six per centum on said tax from the day on which such stamp ought to have been affixed. The c Hector is also authorized by the amended law to remit the penalty at any time from July 14th, 1870. to August Ist. 1572. in all eases where it shall be shown to his satisfaction that the instru ment presented him was issued with ut the necessary stamp by reason of acci dent, inadvertence or urgent necessity, and without any wilful design to defraud the United States of the duty, or to evade or delay the payment thereof. 3d. Where an instrument thus stamp ed has been recorded, it should either be recorded anew, or the fact that the error has been corrected should be noted upon the margin ofotlie record. The parties who were captured from balloons were still held as prisoners at Yuucil on Monday. Von Bismark strenuously advocated the shootiug of all captured balloonists. Wurteuburg, Baden and Ilesse Darm stadt agree to enter the North German Confederation. Fortifications around Paris have now twenty-two hundred guns in position. Yet Forty Days. The editor of the Monroe V/itmess thus diacourseth his delinquent subscri bers. If they don’t pay after reading this,-they are certainly "hard cases.’’ We are truly glad that we do not have to deal with such a per pie: j A et 40 and ays and Nineveh shall be overthrown—said Jonah. Yet 40 and iys and every delinquent sh ill be stricken from our list—say we. Many of you said, send us your p ipor and we will set tle m a few days. Vv esent it and watched all through chicken time in the Spring, bat nary feather foil to our portion.— U e waited all thr ugh harvest time— bat you sent us neither wheat nor bran —n i not so much as straw to make soft our bed. We waited till good roasting ears were ready for the table, but nary cob was given us. We waited till the bullocks bellowed and the heifers shed their blood to the stroke of the butch er s knife—but no steak or roasting piece —no not even a bone honored our table. We have waited till the time of cotton picking has fully come, and now your purses distended to unusual dimensions are carried in your swollen p >ckets. and the printers cry is heard in your gates and rings down your halls and lingers around your cars, night and m 'ruing as you biw at your devotions. We swell the volume and hasten the issue; once again we say. yet 40 days and all delin quent subscribers will be stricken off.” The Elections. The November elections have result ed very satisfactory to the Democrats of the country. A gain of thirty-two Re presentatives in Congress, in spite of the negro vote and Presidential inter ference, is solid encouragement tithe '• utiterrified ’ to push on the revolu tion. There is no and -übt that n great revoluti n in p ilitical sentiment is tak ing place. We see manifestations of it in every section of the country. We see it in the newspapers, hear it from j the stump, in fact it is visible every where. It is a revolution that is des tined, like an irresistible tidal wave, to j sweep over the country, and it will sweep men out of place and out of power who do not fall in with the regu lar current. Asa first evidence that this revolution is thoroughly practical, wo have, as stated above, a gain of thirty-two Democratic Congressmen, be sides several moderate, anti-prospective liber and Republicans who will refuse to sanction further radical legislation.— Further than th*s. wo have some States given overto the Deuvcracy that hither to. since the war have been Republican, while Missouri Ins given an overwhelm ing majority against radictlism. The great redaction of Republican majority in Illinois, is almost as satisfactory ns the gain of any other State. On the whole the Democrats, especially the Conservatives, hive cause for cheerful feelings. Another two years will pro bably give them the majority in Con gress. and perhaps the President. Ver ily. political matters are growing inter esting.—A tlanta S<tn. A of Muh Thieves Bro ken Up. On Friday night last at a late hour a mule lot of Messrs. Holmes & Clay, of this city, was entered by three thieves and a drove of nine mules belonging to a Mr. Baer st den therefrom. The villainy ws not and scavered until the next morning, when runners were sent in different directions to look for the mules. Four of them were found near Thompson's Factory, south of town, grazing about on the common, as they had get to running about after th y were taken out of the 1 it and refused to follow the leader, and the thieves being in too great a hurry left them and went on with only five of the stolen drove. Mr. Clay then put upon the tracks of the rascals two faithful colored attend ants ab'Ut the stable—-Wm. Smith and Larry Thomas—with instructions to fol low the i in the direction of* Forsyth. On arriving there Smith telegraphed back to arrest John Richardson and a man named Green, that he (Smith) was on the trail and that the thieves, with the mules, were making for Atlanta.— Wh en the two colored men got to At- I lanta, they immediately called to their aid the assistance of the police, who cordially j ined in the pursuit, and it was not long before the mules aud three of the rascals were arrested and lodged in jail. The mules were identified by having an inverted “B ” branded on the jaw. Mr. C. C. Clay was sent to Atlanta, and telegraphed back yesterday that he had all the mules and thieves and would be down with them this morning on the 1.30 train. Mr.-J. J. Clay arrested, early yester day morning, the man Green, above aliud.;d to, who is a one legged man.— He says he was deceived by the pirties who stole the mules; that they proposed to go a duck hunting, and after going with them a few miles from town, on the Forsyth road, he found that he was do eeived and returned to the city. Rich ards in. also alluded to above, is still at lai ge.— Macon Teugraph. —JK— A Distiller Scalded to Death.-- Chicago, Oct. 2(3 —Mr. Lcckie. a lead ing distiller here, visited his establish ment ad iy or two ago, and went up on the outside of the building to the t p of the hot water tub, for the purpose of turning off the faucet. This tub. which supplies all the hot water used in the budding, is between fifteen and twenty foci deip and ab >ut the same diameter, and at the time it was filled with boiling water. Through some mistake on the part of Mr. Lcckie. his foot slipped, and lie was precipitated into the steaming cauldron, lie managed to seize the stones on the top of the tank, and cried for help, which soon arrived and extricated him from his horrible predicament. Medical aid was immediately summoned, but his in- J juries were too severe for rccavcry, and j after a night of indescribable suffering, j he expired yesterday morning at five ; o'clock. Real difficulties are the best cure of | imaginary ones, because heaven helps us ] in the real ones, and make us ashamed of the others. The Uncertainty of Negro Labor. The New Orleans Tims adds its ; voice to the gen -nil complaint which is coming from ull parts a i the country of tiie scarcity of labor just at a period I when, in the economy of the planter, it !ism st needed. 1 here seems t>be no i scorehy of negroes. Quite the reverse. But they are n t in the humor for w ok. j and ne amount oi coaxing can put them in the cotton pi stations where their | services are now most sadly needed.— | This evil, fortunately. will create its own remedy—and the impracticable Congo will be compelled to give place to the available and efficient •• heathen Chinee.” The T. me: gays: i here is a universal complaint from the country of the difficulties of getting hands to pick cotton. All the plan tors are behind. f lhere never was a more favorable season; never more eitt n ready to be picked, and never so much difficulty in inducing the negroes to *mru out and gather the fleecy wealth. One of our large cotton factors, recently from Arkansas, rep iris th it the fields in uvery and rectum have the appearance of j the Northern prairies after a heavy fall ! of snow. The reluctance of the hands to turn out and pick is ascribed to the low price of cotton. They have gene rally got in debt t> the extent of their shares in the Crop nr more, and imagine that any further labor on their pirt will be for the benefit of their creditors.— 1 his they c 1 11 working fr a dead horse,” and prefer to move off to some place where they can begin anew and get advances up m their prospective wages. The effects of this will be a great reduction in the yie’J of the season, which promised to be an un usually iarg-e one. If two thirds of the open h 'Ms could be picked, the crop would be a very large one. But there j is no h pc whatever of such a result.— Soon unusually soon, the picking will be over, and a vest amount of valuable staple will be left to perish in the fields. The unusually date autumnal rains will destroy many millions of and liars of this great (dement of wealth and necessity of civilized mankind. All of which ought to admonish us still more forcibly of the great need of some other c mipotitivc and rival 1 b .r, that will enable our planters to fulfill their great mission of producing a supply cf this article equal to the and jmand of the world. There occurred interesting scenes when the many hundred French officers captured at Sedm. arrived at P »int a- Mreissnn <m their wav to Gornnny— After having tr'versed the wh do dis tance on horseback, tlnv were obliged to leave their lnrses IreMml in Pont-a- Mouvsen to continue tlreir joumev by railway.
