Tin' Augusta Chronicle savs: “The Georgia Stale Lottery censed lo exist in Augusta on Monday, the llilli lust. The oHires were closed, anil the places which knew the turning wheels of fortune will know them no more for ever.” The delegates to the late Conven tion al Camilla met on Thursday and tilled Thomas county's vacancy on the Congressional Executive tT'oiu- mittfc, by the election of Mr. II. .1.

No better selection could have been made.—Times. it possible that the Felton organs have, in the excitement of despera tion used alt their negro ntliilavils?— The country, especially the South, never has laid enough of negro affi davits. There is an old affidavit mill in Louisiana that, can he purchased for little or nothing.—At. Can. The Craw fordville Democrat wants to know wliv United States Marshal Filzsimoiis, a Democrat, bestows the patronage of his office upon the At lanta Jte/nililiciiti, the organ of Rad icalism in tieorgia. It thinks he ought not to give aid and comfort to tin; State’s political enemies in thnt way. Says El Comereio ilel Valle: “Co lumbus, tieorgia, tienc eineo grandes fabricas de generos de nlgodon v es ■made las eludades inasprosperas del Stir.” If Columbus doesn't dig up the tomahawk and brandish the scalping- knife, now, and go for that demon, she can lake a hack pew—Comp.] Mr. J. E. Bryant made a Republi can speech in Atlanta. He explained that the licpulican State Central Com mittee lent organized, and that it in tended to organize Clubs all over the Slate of (ieorgia. He urged the meeting to do the same, and said it was by organization that this new Republican party was to succeed. The Early County .Yeies says: The farmers of ibis county t ried, with all their power, from tho middle of April to llie first of .Inly, to kill all the grass in tlieir corn and cotton fields. But just now the corn fields show a a luxuriant crop of grass which, if properly saved, is worth four times file amount of the fodder saved from the same fields.” The Talhotton Jleyisler recalls a reminiscence of the good old days by staling that “away back in the early history of tieorgia, when the laws were administered with dispatch, and with comparatively little ceremony, one of tlie coin ntoii wealth’s noted sons, Walter T. Colquitt, at the time of which we write a Superior Court .fudge, condemned a man to he hung, then preached a sermon, reviewed tlie iiialitia, married two couples at night, anil atleward conducted with eoiiKiderablc miction a rousing prayer meeting—ail in one day.” Evidently there were giants in those days. A bronze medal has been awarded at tlie Paris exposition to “the schol ar's work,” sent on there by tlie pu pils of the Rome Female fJollege.— This work is a large volume of writ ten papers anil exercises in various branches, each written in the hand writing of the scholar presenting it.— The volume is a large and elegantly hound book, and for its neat and hand some appearance attracted great at tention in the American educational department at the exposition. The President ol' tin; college, Rev I!. D. Mallory, was for a long time a citizen of Albany, nud is much es teemed here for his many qualifica tions of lienrt.nud mind. We understand that al. tlie October term of the Superior Court an ini portunt question, one which we be lieve has before been presented, will he brought up for settlement. This <|iicslion is in regard lo the number of Notaries Public allowed Minder the Constitution. It appears Hint some time since n note was protested by one ol'tlie commercial Notaries and the parties concerned contend that it. was illegal, for tin; reason that tlie Notary was not a Notary ill tlie meaning of tliclaw. Under the Con stilinioii it is stated that tin; tiovern- luill appoint one Notary for each ol till; nialilia districts, anil' that said Notary was not. a .lust ice of the Peace, and hence it is asserted his action is illegal. Tills is an important question, and the issue will determine whether the Judge of the Superior Court has the right to appoint. Notaries Public. —Sap. .Vacs. An Open Letter lo Hon. \Y. O. Tuggle, of Lull rouge. I ha\o taken time to nothenlicale a report which l heard tor the fir t time Oil toe evening of llie in I dll' "f tl"' convention. At West Point, in public speech, during your 4 'ottgreasinnal campaign, amt in my absence, you sought for me a term of “reproach,” and from your well tilled voeahiilarv von se lected llie epithet Jew | Had I served you n, tlie extent oi my ability in your recent political as piralions, and your overburdened heart had sought relief in mime ex hibition of unmeasured gratitude: had you a wealth of gifts and seleel- cd from your abundance vour richest ottering to lav al my feel, not have distinguished re gratefully nor honored me more highly limn by proclaiming ini' a Jew. I am promt of my lineage ami my race. In your severest eni-urr von cannot name an net of my life which dishonors either, or which would null' tlie character ol'a Uhri-- iau gentleman. 1 feel it an honor to be one ol' a raw whom persecution caiinoi crush —w hom prejudice has in vain sought lo subdue—who, despite the power- of Ilian and llie antagonism of the combined world, protected h\ the hand ol' Deity, have hurst Hie tem poral bonds witli which prejudice would have bound them, and'after nearly nineteen centuries of persecu tion, still survives ns a nation and as sert their manhood mid intelligence, aud give proof of their “«li\ initi that stirs within tin m,” by Iiaviuj, become a great factoi . i Un* govern ment of iiinukiiid. Would you honor lue? Call me a Jew. Would you place in unenvia ble prominence you r unelirisiia ii prej udices and narrow bigotry? Call me a Jew. Would yon offer a living example of a man into whose educated mind toleration cannot enter; on whom the spirit of liberty and the progress of American principles lias made in> impression? You ran find it illus trated in yourself. Your narrow am) benighted mind, pandering lo the prejudices of your auditory, lias attempted lo tiiiinl me by calling men Jew—one of that pe culiar people a; whose altars, a 'ril ing to the teachings of your tl log ical masters, God chose that Illa tion should worship I Strike out the nationality of Ju deu, and you would seek in vain for Christ and his apostles. Strike «m «l sacred history the teachings of the Jews, and you would lie as ignorant of God anil the soul’s immortal mis sion as you are of the duties anil amenities of social life! I am not angered, bill while I thank you for the opportunity which yon have given me to rebuke a prej udice confined to a limited number, distinguished for their bigotry and sectarian feelings, of which you are a fit exemplar, I pity you for having been cast in a mould impervious to the manly and liberal sentiment- which distinguish the nineteenth cen- tnrv. You are not created without a pur- >ose; nature exhibits her beauties >y the contrast of light aud shade. Humauity illustrates its brightest and noblest examples by placing its most perfect models in juxtaposition with the meanest specimens of man kind. So that you have the consola tion of knowing that, your inind has thus been deformed ill the wisdom of the Great Architect, Hint yon might serve as a shadow to bring forth in bold relief the brighter tints of that beautiful picture ot “religious toler ation” engrafted in the constitution of the United States by the wisdom of our fathers.—»L if.

Willi this view In each day laid aside Ids gold and jew eleil raiment, and putting on th '•lollies of a simple merchant he'visit i'd the alleys and lanes of the city.

The “Good,” inwardly wrathful a the oppres-ioii of llie gaoler, oul wailed to resume his lordly appat'c before lie hastened to the prison, aui seizing tlie turnkey by tlie throat, h demanded how he dared retain in hi clutch an unfortunate whom the jinlg had .'iiiuoimeed innocent; and. fur tiler, demanded money for his ericas “Oil, inosi just ami noble ruler «• lIn' world.” returned llie terrilh" goaler. “a man must live; ami to each prisoner I must pay n tax lo tli governor. Ask of him I pray llici dial hi' remit this,anil l will gladl- release the prisoners.” Willi this die ruler relaxed his gras: on die throat of the goaler and re paiiaal at once to the governor. “f’oneeriHiig this monstrous and ir iquilious prison lax,” cried lie to th terrified governor. “s|>cak! Hast tlioi aught to suy in lliy defence? for ver d}'.

To whom the magistrate said, “Su preme Ruler of Illy tins!-biting suit "•Cl-, the thing is indeed grievous lull tie: blame is not with llie, bn with thy chad' vizier, whose demand in money ami stufi's call hardly Ire me save by rigorous measures.” On these words the ruler returnee, to the palace, and required that th< vizier should attend him, befon whom lie laid his coinplaiut. ■Mightiest Ruler of the world,” re rued the vizier, “tlie gold sticks uo- my palms; it is only too greatly needed for tin; requirements of tin royal person, tlie furnishing of tin jewels, tlie treasure demanded by thi dignity of the sovereign?” Thru the ruler's visage was greatli ■I.mdi'd. “Am I then, indeed the op pressor of my subjects?” lie cried aloud. And from that day lie abode mori in Ids own palace searching out tin evil therein, and curtailing the ex pensea thereof, and less in the alley: und laues of his city. Nevertheless men called him still the “Good,” for; said they “As is tin palace so is the prison and the cottage a merciful ruler makes rejoicing sub jeets.” And from that day forth the rulei would have no new jewels aud costly trappings, and the vizier dared exact no fresh taxes, tlie magistrate levied no fines, the "governor of the prison demanded no head money, and the goaler no fees; the iunocent prisonei was released, and all was peace am prosperity in that Eastern realm.
