" Complaints are sometimes made by business men as to charges made for advertising. The following are the rates in New York: In the New York Triliune, twenty-five cents per line for each insertion; eighth page, thir ty cents per line. Business notices, fourth page, sixty cents per line for each insertion. Fancy type and cute are charged double rates for space occupied. _ In the "Weekly Tribune the rates are two dollars per Tine for each in sertion, and three dollars per line *. for an nouncements/ The other New York papers charge the same rates, with the exception of the Herald, which is fifty cents higher. The business men of New York all advertise ex tensively and consider even these rates cheap. Compare these rates with the price of adver tising in some of the other cities ! It may be argued tbat the large editions of the Metropolitan papers justify these seem ingly exliorbitant prices, while the papers of our Southern cities, not having very much smaller circulations, should be content with very much smaller prices. This argument is not good, lieally the Southern press would be justifiable in charging higher prices than the New York papers. 'J'he cost of paper, composition, telegrams, gas and every thing entering into the expenses of a newspaper establishment, is much greater in proportion in this city than in New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore. To meet the requirements of the pnblic, we are compelled to print a sheet in Savan nah half ns large as the eight-page dailies of the North, and larger than many of the most prosperous papers of the large cities, who have twenty and thirty times our .circulation and advertising patronage. For instance, the cost of printing the Morning News is very nearly as great as that of the Baltimore Sun or Philadelphia Ledger, while the income of either of them is twenty fold as great, and yet our advertising rates are not so high as theirs. For the object in view, the local advertiser derives as much benefit from the circulation of the Morning News, as the Baltimore mer chant does from the circulation of the Sun, and the Northern manufacturer or merchant •who desires to introduce his merchandise, manufactures, machinery, fertilizers, ,tc., at the South, an advertisement in the News is of much greater service to him than the same advertisement would be in the Sun. What the advertiser wants is to reach the people upon whose patronage he depends—to bring his advertisement before- those within the circle of his business among whom lie seeks to find patrons,__ The advertisement of a stoek of merchandise is only valuable to the advertiser so far as it is brought to the notice of the consumers within the circle of trade in which the .merchant is located, and the paper that spreads his advertisement reg ularly every morning before the largest num- . ber of readers within that circle, is the most valuable advertising medium, and an adver tisement in such a paper is of greater value to the advertiser than it would be iji a pa per of twenty times the circulation not con fined to the same limits. As a cotemporary has well expressed it, ad vertising is to-bnsiness what a good fertilizer is to the earth—it makes <;ent per cent returns. Butias in everything else there is discretion to be used in advertising. The advertiser should select papers of large, general and local circulation, papers which maintain right principles in all things ^tbat are acceptable alike to good men of all-parties; and that are xegulaily read in. the. counting room, in the shop, in the office and in the femily circle. Such a paper is the Morning News) and its advertising rates are as reasonable as those of ’ any other established paper in the South. ■ —'»-».♦ " - SPEECH OF HON. RUFUS E. LESTER. Many of our citizens having expressed a desire to see the speech of our talented yonng Senator on the negro eligibility question,; which has been jnstly pronounced one of the ablest arguments of the late session, we ' give it entirS in our supplement of to-day. - ' THE HROWN-MARTIN AFFAIR. Ex-Governor Joe Brown is out in a long communication in the Atlanta papers in de nial of the charge of criminal intimacy with Mrs. Fanny Martin, made by her husband, J. H. Martin, through the columns of . the La Grange Reporter, and published in many of the papers of the State. The Ex-Governor goes into an elaborate’ examination and refu tation of the charges against him, pronounces the letters published as his in the Reporter to be forgeries, and says; —.■ - I have been called upon by the newspapers to come out and meet the charges made by -Martin, which I now do. And I state, most positively and unequivocally that I am not the author of either .Ofisaid letters. Audi . pronounce the charge that I wrote said letters, - or either of "them, or thatl was ever atony time guilty of any criminal intercourse with Mrs. “Martin,’ an unmitigated,’ wilful and ma- -’ lignant falsehood, and the author of the fab rication, on infamous liar and an unprincipled scoundrel, beneath the cbntempt of an hon orable, map. Appended to bis communication are a num ber of certificates from Rev. Charles "W. -’ Thomas, Hector of the Episcopal Church, Ttev. Dr. Brantley, Hon. John Erskine, . Judge of .the United States District. Court, HonrjTi'D.'PbPE, Judge of the Superior Cojjjrt, ' Judge Jared L Whitaker, Col. ' Logan E. Bleckley,"-Mayor J H. Steele,- and others, - to all of ’whom the original letters have been submitted, and who pronounce them to be forgeries. . -■ _■ . War among the Scalawags.—A family . -quarrel among scalawags, like a -commotion among, polawogs, stirs -up their native filth. There has been a controversy going on.for some tijpe between the Bard ofthe Atlanta .Era, and the editor of the scalawag organ at Augusta.’ The latter in a paragraph replying to some vulgar slang of the former, makes the following home thrust: — Tl,e Gaffed Jade TFmces.—The Era at At- ’ lanta, pronounces our strictures upon its egotism as false, foolish and low flung. Veiy well. At our leisure, we may have something to sav touching a certain business transaction , in which the Era editor bore an interested part “w^»a e .SaS" plainly * h ° w X “ m ■■■ . •"isi i , 1 ■ C ~ " A SPECIMEN OF R ADICAL, fa: AND V IIIiT. ATN Y. ... As a specimen of the villainous falsehoods which are invented and "published here in our midst by hireling traitors, for the express . purpose, .of. being used for political effect in the North, we give the following from the last number received of that infamous sheet, the Atlanta Era: A Reign of Terror.—Authentic advices from the lower part of the State indicate a perfect reign of terror in those sections. We learn that the despairing Democracy are re sorting to the grossest acts of- violence with the view of intim, Hating the negro away from the polls and subjugating him to the beck and nod of those who would use him against the Republican party. There seems to be no denying that such a state pf affairs is in ex istence. We hear of it daily, and each suc ceeding report grows worse and worse. We ore anxious to believe that the good men of the late Democratic parti’ do not aid and abet these measures; yet, as they have by no word or official act reprobated them, we are forced to conclude that this is one of the means employed to carry the State for Klniv and Seymour. Wo is any cause that has to be bastioned upon violence and op pression. It will be observed that the writer of the above wilful and malicious falsehood professes to base his statements upon “ authentic ad vices from the lower part of the State,” which moans of course Chatham and the*- seaboard counties. Now it is a notorious fact, that notwithstanding all the wrongs and outrages, insult and irritation, which our people are forced to endure from insolent carpet-bagger officials and vagabond emissaries in our midst, in no section of the State is the pnblic peace more strictly preserved—in no section have there been fewer disturbances or less appearance of disorder than in this county and the counties of the seaboard. Fewer acts of violence on the part of the whites have occurred in Chatham county than perhaps in any other county in the State with one-fourth of our population. This fact is well known to the writer in the Era; and yet, just in time for liis lying article to be copied in bis Northern Radical exchanges, and to serve for a text for exciting appeals to the prejudice and passions of Northern voters, he puts forth what he knows to be a vile slauder and a base misrepresentation of the people of Georgia. No unprejudiced person can read the Era’s slanderous paragraph, in which not a fact is given, not a circumstance related, nor a par ticle of evidence adduced to substantiate his statements, without being convinced that it is a base fabrication, designed for the double purpose of arousing and intensifying the pre judices of our relentless enemies at the North, of inducing the Government to place a mili tary force at the disposal of the Radical lend ers to overawe and control the approaching elections, and to instigate riot and violence on the part of the negroes at the polls. We do not hesitate to pronounce the statement, in general and in detail, a base, unmitigated falsehood, and the author of it an unscrupu lous and malignant falsifier. We know this is harsh language, but milder terms would not seive to characterize such base menda city. The miscreant who could be guilty of such baseness is a disgrace to manhood, and de serves the scorn of honest men of all parties. ANOTHER OF BULLOCK'S DISREPU TABLE TRICKS. Donbt existing in Tegard to the passage of the law by the Legislature fixing a time for the election of members of Congress, we a few days since requested uur Atlanta cuteui- poraries to look into the matter and give the public information on the subject. The fol lowing is from the Constitution of Saturday: The Congressional Election Bill Not Signed.—We are now prepared to answer the query of the Savannah Aries and other pa pers, relative to the law for holding a Con gressional election. „ A bill passed both Houses on the 2d of . this month, fixing the first Tuesday in February next tor the election of members to the 41st Congress. Gov. ljpllock received it on the 3d inst,, and up to Thursday, the 22d, it had not gotten his signature. The bill is there fore not a law, and cannot become such with out three more readings in each branch of the General Assembly, .on three separate days, when that body re-assembles in January next. We are not authorized to fix a programme for the party, but onr friends had better be prepared with ballots, for the enemy works in the .dark. We should not be surprised if he votes for Congressmen on the 3d of No vember. This contemptible manoeuvre on the part of the carpet-bagger Bullock is in perfect keeping with his recent proclamation setting aside a provision of the Constitution, and de frauding the State out of some one hundred thousand dollars, in order to secure the vote of the negroes for his party. Such a base tool of a corrupt and unprincipled faction de serves the execration of all honest men. The Constitution suggests that the Radicals may attempt to steal a march upon the De mocracy by voting for Congressmen on Tues day next. Donbtless they are unscrupulous enough to do that, or anything else in the in terest of his party, but even Radical viljainy could not make such an election valid in the face of the law as it stands and as it has been interpreted by the learned Durham himself. We hardly think they will try that game. Bullock’s illegal and fraudulent attempt to suspend the payment of the poll tax in order to enable his Negro-Radical friends to vote at the Presidential election in direct violation of the Menagerie Constitution, is universally condemned and denounced by the honest presses of the State. After showing up the infamous fraud which the editor attributes to the villainous ingenuity of the Bullock’s pimp, Joe Brown, the Augusta Chronicle advises its “friends in every county of the State to get from the tax books certified copies oi all tlie persons in their respective counties who hare given in and paid their State and county tax es. These lists should be arranged alphabeti cally to facilitate ready reference, and a copy should be kept at each voting box in t,lie hands of prudent and discreet men, When ever a person offers to vote who is suspected of having failed to pay all taxes which he may have an opportunity of paying, require him or them to take the oath prescribed, by the negro Constitution. If any take that oath improperly, thereby committing peijury, have an officer near at.hand and have a war rant for their arrest issued immediately.” -retc—Lite « < Troops fob the Carolinas.—The Washing ton Repress says application was made to the Secretary of War by delegates from North and South Carolina, and also by Gov. Scott, of the latter State, for assistance to aid in preserving the peace of those sections. Gen. Schofield replied that, according to the evidence pre sented, only individual murders had been committed, which necessitate first the inter vention of the civil officers of the State, uud if they failed, then, the State militia could be used, -and if. they were exhausted, the execu- - tive could thereupon call upon the Govern ment of the United States for troops to quell a domestic insurrection. .Pacific Railroad. —It is now said that when- in New York this week Mr. Randall received “positive assurayqeg" that the. Pacific Rail- road would be completed - in: eightmouths—, that iS, <he45»0 roads would fprm a junction, thus forming a continuous line from the At lantic to the Pacific. There is at present a gap of abont five hundred miles to be filled up. Think of that—the construction of five huafred jaitei ef nulmd ia sight amthe. Bp . GEORGIA—A WEEK TO THE ELEI TION. Jg J No matter how the outride world goes- whetherfor Seymour Grant—it is ofthe last importance to the future of Georgia to nently manipulated sp aa to control tins §tate.. ’ J “"every ipisji who has rouse up We call, therefore, upon every and prepare for the State election next Tues day week: ’ We do not mean to pref&te [for it by stump speaking, and maaamegtjngB- These would be of no use now. What is wanted is labor—the dredgery of attending to all the minntia of an election; 1. Let the Democrats in every .county see that every poll is supplied with printed tickets. These must be ordered in season and distributed to trusty men, who will-see that no voter, black or white, misses the proffer of a ticket. If this point is neg lected great mischief will result, because the electoral ticket is too long to be. written with ease or economy. The time oonsnmed in writing ballots can be much better applied in uiging people to cast them. 2. An efficient committee of supervisors or challengers should die designated for each poll in the county, to prevent fraudulent voting. Nobody should be permitted to take possession of or obstruct the polls. This was done by the negroes in many bounties at tbs last election, bnt it should riot be again per mitted. Give a feir chance for everybody to vote who is Entitled to the suffrage. 3. Every Democrat who thinks he can in fluence a vote in fevor of the ticket should feel it his bounden duty to use his best ex ertions for that end. Use every fair and le gitimate means to induce the colored people to go with us. Show them that this is their interest and their duty. 4. Strive everywhere to secure a fair and honest board of inspectors at every poll, and where this cannot be done, have men of weight and character present, constantly, to check unfairness and fraud by the weight of their moral influence. 5. Make every other arrangement, general and particular, which a sound judgment may suggest as important or necessary to secure a peaceful election and as strong a Democratic vote as can be polled. See that every Demo crat votes without fail and votes early on the day. Persuade them all to make it the first business of the day, so tbat, afterwards, they may be footloose to devote themselves to the general success of the ticket. Georgia will go handsomely Democratic if the Democrats do their duty. Let no man fail, —Macon Tel egraph. Who May Hold Elections.—The Augusta Chronicle says any Magistrate in the State is a competent election manager who still holds a commission. Under the old law there were two Magistrates in each election district. Each of these is still a legal acting Magistrate until a new election and the qualification of a successor. The present Constitution, so- called, authorizes the Governor to appoint one Notary Public with the powers and juris diction of a Justice of the Peace in each dis trict. When so appointed this Notary takes the place of one of the previous Magistrates. Until the Notary is appointed and qualified both of the old Justices continue in office. Continuance of the Freedmen’s Bureau. —It is reported that on attempt will be made at the neYt session of CongTess to have the Freedmen’s Bureau continued for at least another year from the 1st of-next January for the protection of freedmen, as well as for their education and the collection of their bounty, pensions, and back pay. Of course the Bureau must be continued as a means of supporting vagabond Radical emissaries at ths expense of the people, io teach incendiarism to the negroes and stir np strife between the "races at the South. “ Let Jeemes ; Go.—The Land We Love gives a model letter from a yonng lady whose sweet-heart was : in the fifth South Carolina regiment, to Mr. Davis, President of the late Confederacy, asking for a furlough for her lover to come home and get married: “Dear Mr. President: I want you to let Jeemes Clancy, of company ith, 5th S. C. regiment, come home and get married. Jeemes is willin’, I is willin’, myrnammy, she is willin’, his mammy says she is willin’, bnt Jeemes’captain, he ain’t willin’. Now when we’re all willin’, ’ceptin’ Jeemes’ captain, I think you might let up and let Jeemes come. I’ll make him go straight back when he’s done got married, and fight just as hard as ever. -Your affectionate friend, Ac.” Mr. Davis wrote on the letter, “Let Jeemes go,” and Jeemes came home, married the af fectionate correspondent of Mr.’ Davis, and returned to his regiment, iiiid did fight as well as ever. Educate Yourself.—The New York Sun is urging workingmen to cultivate the intellect, and become as intelligent and well informed as any other members of society: “It is surprising (says the editor) how much may be obtained by devoting a few hoftrs each day to study, during a series of years. Gibbon produced his great work ra ther by the regularity than the protracted na ture of his daily studies. Franklin, became the wisest and one of the best readofhis cotem poraries in the midst of incessant labor. And if the workman, with his healthful mind so well prepared for the reception of knowledge, will give two hours each day to careful study, he may, in a few years, surpass in general in formation the great majority of eollege grad- uates, who so often obtain a diploma without deserving it, or who have laid,. aside their learning the moment they left their precep tors. He may elevate Ins own inteUect by coming into communion with the eminent in tellects of the past." .. > « • > C. r- Typhoid Fever in Liverpool.—Secretary .

J The Savannah Gas Light Company, wishing to sup ply Gas to it3 patrons on as cheap terms as may be consistent with, a fair return for the capital and labor applied in its manufacture, and believing that the ac tive business which may be reasonably expected du ring the coming winter in this city, will cause an in creased demand ; and farther, that a diminution in price will induce many to burn Gas that have hitherto* had recourse to other means of illumination, which are more dangerous and less cleanly and convenient; and that the consequent increase will lessen the cont o manufacture, and thus justify the Company in making a reduction in price. Therefore.it has been determined, that from and after the FIRST OF NOVEMBER next, consumers will be supplied at the rate of FIVE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER THOU SAND CUBIC FEET, and that a further reduction of Fifty Cents per Thou sand Feet will be made to all who shall pay their bills at this office within FIVE DAYS after presentation.
