With the election of Mr.. Hayes, we

TRIAL nE TILE GREAT GIN.

LONDON, October 2S.-A dispatch
from Spezzia says that the trials of the
one hundred ton Armstrong gun. made
for the Italian government, We're emil
nently successful. A bolt fired with
81 pounds OF powder attained a veloei-
ty of 1900 feet per second, smashed
solid wrought iron plates twenty-five
inches thick completely, pierced n
strong backing and Il thirty Inch SKIN of
the target, the resistance of which is
supposed to equal the sides of the great
Italian iron clad Duello, and had enough
velocity remaining to have smashed
the other side of the ship, and would
have carried complete ruin into her in
terror. An equal charge completely
demo lished soft steel plates of the
Schneider manufacture, but did not
penetrate the backing through. 1t is
stated that the shock wonld have SO

An Honest Opinion From Georgia.

In a speech IN Philadelphia, Hon.
Jonathan Norcross, of G~eOrgja. said,
"Do you ask me which candidate for
the presidency Is required to be cleo
ted by the lest interests ofthe Soutl2
| answer, unhesitatingly, that they
require the election of Rutherford u.
Hayes aud the continuance of Repub-
lican rule. IL he is elected, all mat
tiers at the South will be quieted
down. Under his administration
capital and immigration will flow TO
the South to help build up our waste
places. Under him we shall know
precisely what to expect. We shall
know that there will be no violent
changes in the policy of The Govern.
mcnt; there will be no working up
of another rebellion, or something
else equally bad and dangerous to
nj Interests. But let Samuel j.
Tilden be elected and the Democratic
party installed In power, then fear
and trembling wilt take possession Of
every man Everything would be
thrown into suspense and uncertainty;
and what Is more significant. the
great body OF the Democratic party
being at the South and only its tail
here at the North, MIR. Tilden would
be n mere puppct in the hands of the
Southern Democracy, TO dance 10 the
tune Of Ben Hill, DR.. Tucker, and
Wade Hampton; and what is still
worse for us, instead of capital and
Immigration going to the South to
train uuder such leaders. thousands
of Republicans would have to leave
the South or be tramplcd into the
dust. To tell you the plain truth,
fellow .citizeus, can never believe
that the people of the North can ever
be so stupid and visionary MS to hand
the Government OF the country over
to the party and the men who riskcd
everything and fought through four
years to destroy that Government.
l repeat there is n strong element in
the South, aud perhaps II majority of
the people, who have brconc recon-
ciled TO the new order of things, and
who much prefer to have them re-
main as they + than TO encounter
the risks that would follow reaction.
aud the confusion that backward
steps would producc.'

loves his country, devote Tuesday

every honorable exertion to induce
his friends and neighbors to do like
wise. He will then have an approx
