THE GEORGIA CAMPAIGN. How the Republicans Propose to Flank Their Adversaries, A “PARSON” IN THE RACE A Hot Fight Promised in This Democratic Strongho!d, The Congressional Districts and Who Will Be Nominated. Atxasta, July 21, 1876, ‘Your correspondent dropped in at the republican headquarters this morning, and was surprised at the Activity with which the Executive Committees is pre paring tor the campuign. Georgia bas not been enr- nestiy contested by the republicans for years, and it was believed that the pres-nt campaign would be allowed to go by default. This will not be the case, however, for already may be heard right brisk pulse, tions of ‘music in the air.” The Chuirman of the Republican Committee, the Hon. Jobn £. Bryant, is an admirable man for the place. He is a gaunt, shrewd, tireless, bright-eyed Maine mav—ful! o/ snap and pluck and nerve—a capi tal organizer and an indetatizable worker. He has been in Georgia politics tor more than ten years, being the republican leader in the lower House during the eendaucy Oi that party in the Legislature. He was elected to bis present position by a unanimous vote of the late State Convention, it being understood that, ifelected, he would organize the party to give the democrats a hot, stubborn and encompromising fight in every city and county in the state Covonel Bryant 18 quite hopeful that he can do something for his party in the campaign just opening, and backs his hope with the following reasoning: WHAT MR BRYANT THINKS. “In the first place,’’ says no, ‘the natural demo- cratic majority in Georgia 1s quite smail, In the race Detween Bullock and Gordon we elected Bullock fairly by several thousand majority. The unfortunate events of that administration were so divtoried and magnified by the democrats shata perfect storm was raised against the republicans, intimidation was resorted to, the Ku Klux were organized, there were dozens of counties into which our speakers were afraid to ven- ture, and there were many counties with fivo or six hundred negroes in them in which not a dozen repub- lican votes were cast. Under this state of things we thought it best to make no especial Oght on State ques- tions, but to try and carry the State far Grant against Greeley. Hence, waoile the democratic Governor was alected by about 60,000 majority, the national ticket Was beaten only about 15,000 votes. I believe that with the full strength of the porties poiled, in a fair Qght, the democrats have from 5,000 to 12,000 ma. | Tam confident that 1cun bring 90,000 repub- | Jority. lican votes into the field this tall; and 1 ao not think the democrats will peat that much, if at all’?

They will mass heir strength on INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE! There '8 a terribie restiessness inside the democratic ravks. The trouties that always divide parties with large majorities have attacked the democrats, and rebellions m the ranks have become quite common, Two years ago there were mauy “independents” iu the field, aud they were victorious without exception. Dr, Felton, aquiet country parson, living near Costersville, entered ihe field agaiust the democra:ic nominee in che Seventh district, overwhelmingiy democrauc, and alter a fight unequailed in flere: nes, and engaging democratic speakers from ail parts of the State, who, under the lead 0) Senator Gordon, flocked to the scene of action, he captured (he district His victory was reposted in Many jocal coutests throughout the State, aad has resulted in the creation of an independent party, which | Wil this fali puta full ticket im the deld.

His nemination may be cons deref cer- tain, With Colquitt as the stanuard Learer oi the democrats, your correspondent bas pertect au hority for saying that Judge A. R.

WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS, 4 LIVELY CONTEST ANTICIPATED IN OCTOBER— VIEWS OF THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEB FOR GOVEBNOR—THE STATE CLAIMED FOR TILDEN AND HENDRICKS—THR DEMOCRATIC MONEY PLANK ACCEPTABLE, Wurrs Sciruvnr Srrixcs, W. Va, July 22, 1876, West Virgin‘a’s five electoral votes are put down by demveratic politicians as eafe for Tiluen in November, and, as far a8 present Iniormation goes, the indications seem to justity that assomption, Local republican leaders, however, claim that with a proper organiza- tion of tho party, and a supply of the sinews o: war from the Natioual Republican Executive Committee, they can carry the Stato in October and November too, “If,” said a noted Greenbrier republican, who is an aspirant for Congress and for the Governorship, “the National Execative Committee would give us $30,000 we could carry the State with ali ease, but of course 1 don’t want you to mention that, as it would look as though wo lacked strength.’? There has never been an election in the Stace which has properly tested the relative strength of the parties, but tne best sources’ of information and authorities estimate the democratic majority at about 8,000, divided as tol- lows:—First Congressional district, 1,500; second, 2,500; third, 4,000, Witb this assumed strength the democrats will go into the October fight hopeful and almost confident of success, but the republicans claim that this 8,000, if it exists at all, can be easily over- come by the adoption of a good local piatiorm at Parkersburg on the 27th instant, and the nominasion divided on the mouey question, and on local issucs, | which makes the contest a doubtful one trou any standpoint of calculation. ‘The ds mocratic State ickeu and platform put .orcs ut Charlesion on the 8th 0: June last are strong and acce, table to that party, the latter Ueing so pecuiarly consiructed as to meet the wishes 0; all its factions.

Hon, Herry M. Mathews, the present Attorney Gen- era; and democratic nominee for Governor, was here a few days since on hi8 Way to meet the state Executive Committee at Graitou to ussist in mapping out a plan of campaign. Haviug a previous and very agrevable acquaintance with the prosp marked, “‘l see West Virginia is au October state. Do you apprehenu much of a contest?” Mr. Matuews—Yes, it is an October State. I have no duubt of our success Inthe State election and feel conudent that Tilden will carry the State 10 November. Iv is true that Wes: Virgimia gave a republican m jority in the national contests of 1868 and 1872, but this is surcepuble of easy explanation. In 1868 no one was allowed to vote unless he would TAK THE TEST OATH. And many Union men who could take this oath were either not registered or their names wero stricken from the lists of rexistered voter when it was Uelieved they would not vote the republican ticket, In 1872 num. Some of them would not go to the poils and others voted tor Grant, West Virgie is thoroughly demeeratic. ConREsroNvENT—W bat effect will your State election have on the national campaign, or will it have any? Mr. MatHews—I don’t suppose that the election in this State will materially aflec the national camp. ign. Ivis, 1 think, conceded by both parties that our State ticket will be elected.

MEETING YESTERDAY OF THE BOARD OF CON- TROL—VIEWS OF MANAGERS AND OPERATORS. Last week ata meeting at Mount Carbon, in Ponn- sy!vania, the question was considered of the Lehigh Valley Railroad’s excess of shipments to tide water over that agreed upon last spring as their proportion of the stipulated tonnage. This meeting, it was re- Portod, was a stormy one, an@ threatened to break up the jamous cvai combination which, by united action, has kept up the price of coal, regulated its production and fixed the price at which this necessary of life ‘should be furnished to consumers, Not oply were the mauafacturers in almost every city in the Union in- terested iu the result of this disagreement between the high contracting parties, but also every family using a ton of coal for domesiic purposes, It was, therefore, ‘with some anxiety the consumers awaited the result of the conference yesterday, whieh would elther consoli- date the power of the giaut monopoly of anthracite coal or leave to individual operators and fair competi- Von with the several roads perfect freedom as to the amount to b» carried to market and the prices to be charged for the sume, Ib order that tue strength of the combination may be fully appreciated it is only necessary to say tbat the Philadelphia und Reading Ruilroad Company—repre- sented by tue Philadelphia aod Reading Coa, and Iron Company—centrolling the greatest area of choice coal lands in the Schuylkill region, leads the combination, and is suppiemented in power by such wealthy corpora tions as the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail- road, New Jersey Central, the Delaware and Hud-on Canal Company, the Lehigh Valley Coa!

How Judge Dan‘els Metes Out Justice to Corfidence Swindlers. IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT. Constitutional Right to Bail. The General Term of the Supreme Court bas an- nounced an important decision in the case of tho ‘twin confidence men,” George W. Loomis and Thomas Lewis, afirming the judgment of the Sess.ons, con- victing them of larceny and sentencing them to five years’ imprisonment, They enticed an em grant into a drinking saloon, and upon pretence they were play- ing a iair game of dice, Lewis borrowed the sum of $90 irom the emigrant, assuring bim be was sure to wip, buts ould be lose he hud a check for $500 in his pocket which he would casu and repay him, The dice Wore thrown, and as a matter of course Loomis w n. Then Lewis putup the supposed $500 check, which Loomis also won. Both the accused then disappeared, Jeaving the emigrant minus bis money. Mr. William F. Kintzing, who appeared for the accused, raised the point that larceny could not be predicated upon the facts, as the complainant voluntarily parted with bis money upon a game of chance; it was not taken either against bis will or without bis consent. District At- lorney Pheljs took «contrary view. Judze Dani delivered the upinion ot the Court, Which checkwat the inge’ ious swinuulers. As it is of importance to the public and of interest to the profession, We give it io substance, The Judge, after reciting the facts, says:— There can be no reom for doubt upon the ixcts that the isouers w 4 in the common enterprise of proc ‘or that purpose Lewis m his acquaintance and enlisted his interest, and Onaliy him to the suloou where the nce at Loomis indicate should meet to consummate unlawtul design, they resorted tu the device of an apparently frieadly game, until tie emergency could be created upon which he might be confidingly deceived into an advanceinent ot his money; when that wis applied to ior hiv m mey upon the assurines ‘ax sure to win. e © money staked and dit siouid.be. And payment was to be ‘application was suc jared Lost, v8 both pri then, to avoid the eoutingen The di made from what bad ee check, thi was put up and — lost the whole procoeding wa: the to obtain money of inexperienced, simp And it would bo # last- minded, hi nest, contiding stranger. ing ri t oach tu the lawsot the Bi cured by their toleration, Leen insisted that nothing less than that st i court, because the lender (Uiuse with the title'to, as weil as the pos although he called it « loan of ti ly was not what was intended. He was by Lewis to let him have the money to stake it upon the dice, with the assurance that he was sure to beat aud then Uluson could have “your (bis) money buck.” it was ‘only in case ot a Joss that other money was tobe procured upon the check and paid over to repiace the loss. Until it wasd term ned whether it wi lost or pot, Lewis had no other than # vem- pora.y use of ihe $90. 0 that time ihe money coutine ued to be the p-operty of Clason, to be returned ts him in case it should not be ist. And that differed very materiaily from a loan, as that term ts ordinariiy used and understood. It was iow only of the possession for a spocitic purpose, whic. might all have beoa accomp ished if the transaction between tue prisoners had been an honest one, wil ut the transfer of the cite to or absolute right of Possession of the mon y. Tuut was not asked or intended, except upon the contingency of the game, which might turn the money over to Loomis, as it afterward did. But until that was determined the 1X) continued to belong to Olason, Lewis havin only ity qualilied possession. So comple was bis rishtto it that he might at any time belore the yame had euded have reclaimed and resummed its possession, According to the terms under which he parted with it. What he did wus to allow Lewin to stake it upon the throw, with the understanding expressed in words that he was to have the identical money again it that proved wuccesstus. it was xt most but mery license or liberty to use the money in the game at the wtinate risk ot the person to whorn it was delivered. And that conid at an, time have been revoked betore the Joss tit occurred. It, th retore, the possession was procured with the intent to deprive Ulason of his inuney and tnaily to appropri ite is to tue use of the prisoners, ugainst his conseut, they were. properly convicted of ‘tonl: ing it, (Smith vs, The People, 53 N.Y." 111; Hildeurand vs. 56 Id. 394; Kelly vs. Peopic, 18 N.Y.
