But little interest attaches to the election in
Georgia to-day for governor and members of
the legislature, because although the demo-
Gratis are somewhat divide on the question OF
presidential candidate, yet both sides-Greeley-
ties and straightouts-are united on their candi-
date for governor, James NJ. Smith, the present
incumbent, who will therefore be elected by
large majority. The republican candidate for
governor is Dawson A. Walker, formerly judge
of the supreme court of the state. There was
II democratic majority in the state senate in the
last legislature and 173 democratic majority in
the house. The republicans have reasonable
hopes of gaining in their representation in the
legislature and decreasing the democratic ma
jority on the general ticket; further than this
their expectations do not 60. In 1868, Georgia
was carried for Seymour by Il, 6s5; but Rufus b.
Bullock, republican, was in the same year.
elected by a majority of 6,S5S. On December
18th, 1871, James Milton Smith was without
serious opposition elected to fill the unexpired
term OF Governor Bullock, who had resigned.
AT the election for members of congress in
1870, the aggregate democratic mojority for the
entire state was % $50.

The prospects of the Greeleyites must be blue

The prospects Of the Greeleyites must be blue
indeed, when they can take comfort from a
point made in this column that the vote ON
Hartranft IN Pennsylvania will be no indication
OF the strength Of his party, and that the true
test will be the vote on chief Justice and the
three cor gressmen at large. To realize this
grain OF comfort ii Is found necessary, first to
refer to us as "one Of the administr alton or
gans," "ihe Presidents home organ" &C., and
next to quote only so much of our article as
referred TO the local disaffections in Pennsylva-
MA concerning Hsrtranft. 1t is our fate, as with
other independent papers, TO be designated va
riously, according to the point to be made in
quoting from us, as republican" "conserva-
tive" "rsdical," "dsmocratic,n "independ-
ent," and administration" and we can stand
AL this with fortitude as indicating that we
Keep on pretty even keel of fairness
and Independence, but If it is all the same
to our Greeley contemporaries we will thank
them no. to call an "organ." Pre-
eideRt Grant has had the good sense from
the first TO eschew any thing like organising; but
were it otherwise, and organs were as plenty a.
blackberries, it would not suit TIE STAR to be
one Of them. In the next place, we object to
being half quoted, with the careful omission of
the wholesome lesson conveyed in the context
that the real test in Pennsylv ania will be upon
ZIG ohCeIs haneu, anu tnao III tney are elected
In October the state is sure for Grant by a
sweeping majority In November. 1t Is conceded
that there is more or less disaffection to art
ranft 1t may be that the food tide of q Presi-
Dental election canvass may carry him along
very nearly up to the front-of the ticket; or he
may lag considerably behind. Good judges in
Pennsylvania politics differ widely upon this
point, but the best and most cautious of them
feel assured that the general state and congress
sional republican ticket will be elected by
majority so decisive as to leave no hope what
ever to the confederates Of being able to carry
the state in November.
