The Georgia Result.
From the Republican .

The Democratic and Liberal major
ity in Georgia is about $4,000. So
heavy a majority against Radicalism
in q state whose total population is
only 1,104. 104 is remarkable and sig
nificant ; but an analysis of it reveals
another fact still more Interesting.
or the total population of Georgia
638. 1852 T. whites, and 545. 242 are
colored-thr white exress being ONLY
1890. Ii all the whites should vote
way aud all the colorcd men
another, the excess of whites in the
population would exhibit Il majority
of voters of about $1,000. But it
seems from the returns that the actu-
ii Democratic and Liberal majority
is nearly three times this--showing
that a considerable number of the
cOlored voters must have either alb
stained from voting, or voted will,
the Democrats and Liberals. fthe
other Southern states shall exhibit a
similar result in observation-disclosures
rmalI proportion of the col0rrd
voters in Mississippi, Florida, Louis
lana and Arkansas should abstain
from voting, or vote for Greeley.
then Grant will lose every Southern
state except South Carolina. This
would bring Greeley and Brown up
from the South with 40 electoral
votes out of the whole number, 36S:
and they would need to get only A
additional votes in the Northern
states TO have a minority.
That Greeley and Brown will come
up from the South with this great
array Of strength, is not so improba-
BILE as it seemed to be a month ago.
The heavy Democratic and Liberal
majority in Georgia shows that Grant
is losing ground amongst his own
partisans at the South. and that the
public sentiment of the intelligent
classes in that region is overwhelm-
ingly against him, with nothing but
a languid negro sentiment to support
him. Looking at the Southern states
in the light of the Georgia election,
South Carolina is the only one of
those states that cxn be certainly
claimed for him.

Not Candidates.

In . hurriedly written article pub
lishcd In our last issue we referred to
the Carrollton Convention, and used
the word defeat in connection with
the names Of Doniphsn and HAL III
such . manner as might imply that
these gentlemen struggled for Con-
|yressional honors. In justice to
Gen. Doniphan, we would state that
his name went before that conven-
ton without his knowledge or con-
sent-that he had been repeatedly
urged Dv his friends to become II
candidate, and that in every instance
he had percmptorily declined.
Furthermore, he stated to us in pri-
vate conversation that she wouldn't
have the position under any circum-
stances" In justice to Judge Hall,
of Randolph, we reprint the follow
ing extract from the Mobcrlv Moni-
tor:
"The Lexington INTELLIGENCER,in
Il most excellent article which we
copy elsewhere, speaks of the "de-
.feat Of .Judge UuH.' at Carrollton.
in Il way which might imply that he
was IN a>pirant for the C~nn@rc>sion-
al nomination. Such was not the
ease; indeed. so far from beng true
is it. that we are thoroughly per-
suadcd he would have declined the
honor had it been rendered. The
sentiment embodied in his resolution
which the lNTELLIGENcER publishes.
that the nomination in this district
was due to some representative of
the Confederate element, he honestly.
entertained aud emphaticallv ex-
pressed OH oil suitable occasions, and
he never would have done any act
inconsistent with that sentiment.
The gentlemen who placed his name
before the Convention without first
consulting him, did him an injustice,
unintentiomal, we know. but still all
injustice. Gen. Clark, Jr., has no
nor earnest supporter in the dis
trict than Judge Hall. aud if al! the
other Union ME in Missouri would
manifest a 1.-THE of the liberality
which characterizes him, q much bet
ter state of feeling would exist in the
Democratic ranks than is the case
now"

Poetry.
A Game of Cards.

A Game of Cards.
This life is but game of cards
Which each one has to learn;
Each shufaes, cuts and deals the pack,
And each trump does turn.
Some bring a high card to the top
And others bring low;
Some hands are very flush of trumps,
While others none can show.
Some shuttle with a practced hand
And pack their hand with care,
So you may know when they are dealt
Where all the leaders are
Thus fools are made the dupes of rogues,
And rogues each other cheat,
And he is very wise indeed
Who never meets defeat.
In playing, some play out the ace,
Their counting cards to save;
Some play the deuce, and some the ten,
But many play the knave.
Some play for money, some for fun,
And some for worldly fame,
But not until the game played out
Can they count up their game.
When hearts are trumps we play for love,
And pleasure rules the hour;
No thought of sorrow checks our joys
In beauty's rosy bower:
We sing, we dance. sweet music make,
Our cards at random play,
And while our trumps remain on top
Our games a holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown the pack
The players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won
BY gamblers young and old.
intent on winning, each his game
Does watch with eager eye
How he may see his neighbours cards
And beat him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps, look out for war,
On ocean and on land,
For bloody horrors always come
When clubs are held in hand.
Then lives are staked instead of gold,
The dogs of war are freed
As late throughout our glorious land
See clubs have had the lead.
Last game of all is when the spades
Turned by the hand of time
He always deals the closing game
In every age and cline.
Nomatter how much each man wins,
Or how much each man saves,
The spade will finish up the game
And dig the players graves.
