THE ELECFION-NOv. sth.

We call the attention of our readers
TO the fact, that this election comes
Off on Tuesday, the Sth of Novem-
Der. And as the day is near at hand,
we recommend to each voter, such O
consideration of its Importance as
will induce every one to go to the
polls. The fact that there is no doubt
Of the election of the Democratic tick
etmay serve as an excuse, with many
not to give themselves any trouble
about it. But this is grave error.
1t Is of vast Importance to the State
of Tennessee that the whole country
should know the comparative
strength of the Democratic and Rad
ical parties, because the more over
whelming the Democratic majority,
the less the disposition on the part OF
Congress, TO interfere with our do
nestle affairs. Per contra, the small
or the Radical vote, in comparison,
the smaller will be the disposition,
and The greater the outrage to at
tempt to place small minority in
power, over vast majority.
In addition to this reason for full
democratic vote, ID is the duty OF
Montgomery to poll its full strength
in order that such vote may be made
the basis of representation, in case ii
becomes necessary to go into a Con-
vention for any District, or general
purpose. The trouble Of getting to
the polls is very small matter com
pared with the solemn duty growing
out of the right Of suffrage, and a
neglect of duty implies criminal
Indifference to the best interests OF
the State. Let every voter remem
Der the day of election and resolve
that no detriment to the general we'll
fare, shall grow out of his failure to
discharge an important duty, to him
self and his fellow-citizens.

TO THE PUBLk

At the close Of the Old and
approach Of the New Year, /
w. PHULLIPs d Co., congratulate
themselves and their patrons on
the favorable auspices under
which they have conducted their
business during the year now
ending. Being one Of the Oldest
Business Houses in Macon, and
established upon a firm and feli-
able basis, they can offer induce
ments to their Customers hnsur-
passed in this section Of country.
1t is the first House that estab-
lished the general and inyariable
rule Of urging their Customers!to
return any articles not fully up
10 the standard of their guaran.
tee, and the first that instituted a
systematic mode of doing bust
ness, alike to the interest of the
Dealer and the Customers. The
House also originated another
feature in the business of Macon
- that W.the town delivery of all
goods purchased, a great conve-
nience to the consumer. The
result of all this has been that
fewer mistakes. have occurred,
and lesstrouble in making settle
ments, than under the loose sys-
TEN, or rather no system, that has
generally prevailed.
We intend to act firmly and
strictly up to the standard, deal
ing fairly by our patrons, and in,
every instance to make our trans
actions clearly understood. Our
stock Of Staple Goods il selected
by the Senior of the firm in per-
son, who with an experience Of
many years in our large cities,
and in constant communication
with the markets, ilatters himself
that he can bnN and select to
better advantage than others
who have not the same facilities.
We do not issue any such flash
advertisements as 1--WE cannot
be U~ndersold," or "Selling Out
at Cost" but our articles being Of
the best quality, and mostly Sta
pie Goods, Will be offered as
reasonably as the laws Of trade
and the state of the market will
admit.
The Principal has just returned
from the market with a carefully
selected Stock, bought at lower
rates than ever, and the Pur-
chaser can now avail himself Of
an opportunity Of getting first
class goods at prices which win
astonish him. We intend to
maintain our reputation as fair
open dealers, and, with this as
surance, we trust that our old
friends will continue to favor us,
as usual, and many new ones
find it to their advantage to pur-
chase from us.
70 those who have bought
goods from us on ga short time
we say, earnestly, we hope they
viii come up to our standard Of
good buyers and pay promptly
their Indebtedness. 1t is for their
interest as well as ours. Our
business is a cssh bueiness and
we do not wish what aecommo-
dation we have extended to our
Customers to sever us from the
strict line Of duty to them and to
ourselves.
With the compliments of the
coming Christmas and New Year,
we remain

FURTHER dispatches from Cheyenne,
Wyoming Territory, state that the Grand
Jury of Albany county is composed of
five women and ten men. OF the ladies,
only one is unmarried The list of TWEEN
ty-two petit jurors, drawn for the trials
in court, contains six women, of whom
three arc unmarried. The prosecuting
Attorney of the county, few days be-
fore the court met, addressed a letter to
Chief Justice J. II. Howe, requesting his
opinion as to the eligibility of women
who are ''chizens' to serve on juries.
In reply, Chief Justice Howe says
that he and Mr.. Justice Kingman have
carefully considered the question, and
concur in the opinion that such women
are eligible, and adds, ''my reasons for
this opinion viii be given at length if oc-
casion requires" The remaining part of
the letter gives, in brief, the views as to
the protection of the lady jurors from in
suit, which were enlarged upon in the adj
dress to the grand jury already noticed.
In conclusion, the Chief Justice says that
women, at least in his court, shall have a
fair opportunity to demonstrate their
ability in this new field, and the policy or
impolicy of occupying it, and hopes they
will succeed.

SHERIDAN AND THE KU-kLUX.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Republican newspaper of This city
suggests that Sheridan be sent down to
Tennessee to deal with the Ku-Klux. As
the style of the fighting of the latter and
that of Sheridan's are much alike, the
suggestion is very natural one.
Should the Ku-Klux ''steal upon him
when he was defenceless," and butcher
him in cowardly and brutal manner,
they would ''strike' him as he ordered the
Piegans to be ''struck." The Ku-KIux
have not yet murdered women and babes
in their mothers arms. Sheridan is in
advance of them in this respect.
The defence made by Sheridan of the
wholesale murder of Piegans, and the de-
fence made by the. Ku-Klux of their das-
tardly assassinations are very similar.
The Piegans were butchered to defend
white men, in Montana. So says Sheri-
dan; and we must suppose from this, that
eight old men, and ninety women, and
fifty-nine children, endangered the safety
of the thousands of hardy and adventur-
GUS pioneers of that territory.
The Ku-Klux are of the opinion that
numbering few families of '1oyaI'' mig
gers, and of carpet-baggers more degraded
than the Triggers" tends to the protec-
ton of the hundreds of thousands of
white men in Tennessee.
Sheridan and the Ku-Klux reason alike,
and act alike, and are equally entitled to
admiration.

THE ATTACKS UPON MIR. DAVIS

The constant flow of abuse, obloquy,
insults and jeers upon ex-President Davis
from the Northern press and politicians,
and on the floor of Congress, is, under the
circumstances, not complimentary to
American manhood. 1t is never noble to
strike where no resistance is offered and
no blow is returned. Mr.. Davis, ever
since the extinction of the Southern Con-
federacy, has seduloosly sought obscurity.
He has maintained so quiet, modest and
inoffensive demeanor that not hard
saying against his most violent enc
mics and traducers can be traced to
him. But the most unobtrusive privacy
fails to shield him from insult, and the
Senate of the United States cannot well
come a negro from Kansas of dishonest
record to seat in that body from Missis-
sippi, without an attack upon Mr.. Davis,
and thanking God for the exchange. The
taste of these Fluctuations In every aspect
will not be questioned. There is no
doubt about it. 1t is unsurpassed
by that of a Northern New Orleans cor
respondent who cannot bear the sight of
Mr.. Davis eating strawberries, and makes
the fact the occasion for a discharge of
his gall.-Macon (GG.) Telegraph.
