A CARD.
To the Tax Payers of Augusta-
The uudersigned desires to show that fine
(at least) of the chargee contained in the
Removal Petition is not exactly understood
by the people, more especially by the two
hundred and fifty gentlemen who appended
their names to it.
It will be necessary to state that when (in
1866) Bids for Printing were advertised, the
Proprietors of the Chronicle and Sentinel
and Constitutionalist put in their Bids to
gether, BOTH FIRMS SIGNING THE
SAME PAPER, from which the following
extract is made :
“ But will, if the Printing be given to
EACH of us, * * * pub
lish the proceedings of Council and adver
tisements of the city, for the next year, for
one-third less than our regular advertised
rates at the time the work is done.”
(Signed)
”J. R. tV. JOHNSTON,
11 Business Manager Chronicle and Sentinel.
“STOCKTON, A CO.,
“ Proprietors Constitutionalist .”
Their Advertised Rates being $1 per
square, the price offered to be charged would
be 66f cents per square.
The Proprietor of the Daily Przss con
tracted for 12} cents per square—his Bid
being accepted, with the understanding that
he was to have all the City Printing.
A few comparisons of Bills will be found
below, as paid the Three City Papers—
recollecting that the Daily Press was the
Official Organ of the City:

The above examples are taken from the
Bills of each office—and show that the then
city authorities paid out (unnecessarily)
$188.77 to the Constitutionalist and the
Chronicle on Six Advertisements alone,
whilst the Daily Press only received $16.25.
These are only a few “specimens” showing
the discrepancies in the amounts paid to the
three daily papers of this city ; a column or
more could be easily added, with the proofs.
On the 19th of June, 1867, a Notice was
served upon all three City Papers, by the
Clerk of Council, that Sealed Proposals
would be received until 12 o’clock of Mon
day, July Ist, for doing the City Printing for
the ensuing fiscal year.
The undersigned handed in his bid for
Fifty Cents per square.
No other bid being presented, Col. ft. B.
Bullock offered the following resolution at
the next meeting of Council—Friday, July 5;
“Resolved, That the Mayor bo authorized to
contract with E. 11. Pughe, upon the terms pro
posed, for the City Printing, for one year from
July 1, 1867, or upon any other terms which he
may bo able to obtain from him. Adopted.”
At a subsequent meeting (August 2), the
Mayor reported, verbally, “that he had con
tracted with E. H. Pughe to do the City
Advertising, for the present term, for Forty
Cents per square, being Ten Cents less than
his bid. Received and adopted.”
With the understanding that the contractor
would get all the work, the undersigned
agreed to lake Forty in place of Fifty Cents
per square.
An examination of the Bills since July
last, as well as the facts stated above, will
suffice to disprove the assertion as to “print
ing,” contained in the Petition alluded to.
When the contract was made, the Daily
Press belonged solely to
E. H. PuGMB.
Fire Depart mint.--A Query.
Inasmuch as “investigation” is the order
of the day, we, bona fide citizens of Augusta,
and tax-payers, would like to be enlightened
on a certain point by Mr. A. Iveksex, the
worthy Treasurer of the Fire Department—
to wit:
Did, or did not, the Fire Department of
Augusta, in the year eighteen hnndred
and sixty six, pay the following items to the
Constitutionalist office:
“February 15. To advertising Annual
Meeting of Fire Department, 2 times, $2.25 t
“February 22. To advertising Annual
Parade Firo Department, 1 time, $4.00.
“March 28. To advertising Augusta
Fire Department, 3 times, $8.75.” Total,
$15.00.
We ask Mr. Iverskn, if he, as Treasurer
of the Department, did not pay these itoms,
WHY NOT?
We know that the Fire Department in
variably paid us for such advertising. And
we know that tho Constitutionalist pre
sented its bill for the above items to the
City Council, in 1800, which was “approved”
by the Chairman of the Finance Committee,
and paid —with other items amounting to
$640.30, This is a matter of record.
Wo await Mr. I version’s responso. All
we want to know is, by what right Mr, Jno.
L. Stockton (Petition Toter) presented
those items to the Council for payment ?

is universally acknowledged to be the model
parlor publication of America. Most of the

It is our opinion that mere politicians
have no idea how anxious the people are for
the completion of the work of Reconstruc
tion. While it remains unfinished, it keeps
the country in a turmoil, which paralyzes
business, stops trade, shuts up factories,
turns mechanics and laborers out of employ
ment, increases the prices of almost every
thing we eat, drink and wear, fills the stock
exchanges and the gold rooms with speeu
lators and gamblers, and erowJs the streets
and alms-houses with beggars and paupers.
All considerate persons who do not make
demagoguistn a trade, eagerly desire that
one of the main causes of this disastrous
upheval of society should cease at the
earliest moment. Some do not like th*
salient features, while others object to cer
tain details, in the present plan of recon
struction. But they recognize it as a plan
which, if not obstructed, will execute itself
and complete its own work. They know it
is unprecedented, and that its motive power
is the military arm. But so it was with the
“ rebellion,” and the means employed to
suppress it. They yield to the necessities of
the situation, and only ask that the sword
be placed in wise and resolute hands, that
will cut the knot of the imbrog(jo promptly,
indicting as slight wounds and leaving as
few scars as possible.
They have there eyes fixed on those who
interpose obstacles in the way of the early
settlement of these distracting questions.
Reserving till another day the retribution
they have in store for them, they demand
that the President, and Congress, and the
Judiciary, and the army “ cut short the
work,” restore the ten States to their proper
relations to the Union, and so dissipate the
threatening cloud that haugs over aud dis
turbs the business of the country.

From Atlanta.
Atlanta, January 19.— A circular has
been issued from Headquarters, explaining
general orders validating the Alabama ordi
nance to stay the collection of debts, to
mean that thero is to be no stay of pro
ceedings on judgment* in favor of mechanics
and laborers, since July 21st, 1865. An
order is looked for directing tax collectors
in Georgia to proceed with the collection of
State taxes. Nine tenths of snid taxes
have already been paid.
[second'dispatcu}.
Atlanta, January 20.—The Convention
adopted two additional sections of the Bill
of Rights and refused to suspend the rules to
consider a resolution asking Geo. Meade to
remove the Sheriffs who had made sales of
property in defiance' of the Relief Ordinance,
and adjourned. v
Tbe Committee to report the names of fit
persons for the removal of political dis
abilities, havq.given notice to present the
claims of such parties.
It is probable that the Statfy offices will be
shortly moved from Millcdgeville to this
point.
Correspondence.
Ni:tr Jnn. 19.—Judge Cooley
has addressed a noto to Gen. Hancock,
inquiring whether lie would enforce an
ordinance, which the Convention may adopt,
staying executions and all judgments by the
State Cogrts until the first day of January,
1870, except judgments for taxes and wages
of laborers.
The General, in reply, calls attention to
the fourth and eighth sections of the Act of
March 23d, 1867, defining the powers of the
Convention. The General says, that, from
these provisions it is clear that the Conven
tion is clothed with the extraordinary power
of framing a Constitution and Civil Gov
ernment ; and that it possess no authority
to deal with subjects of ordinary legislation,
except to levy and provide for the collection
of taxos to pay its members, officers, etc.,
etc. As the ordinance to which you refer in
your letter is entirely foreign to the framing
of a Constitution and Civil Government, it
appears to the Major General Commanding
that such an ordinance, if passed by the
Convention, would be without any validity.
The State Auditor addressed a com
munication to General Hancock, stating
that the taxos imposed by the Constitutional
Convention cannot be collected through the
ordinary process of collecting State taxes.
And that the tax collectors of the parishes
of Orleans and Jefferson report that the
tax payers have generally refused to pay the
tax, and refers the whole matter to General
Hancock for action.
General Hancock, in reply, refers the
Auditor to the ordinance of the Convention
making it his duty to superintend the
collection of the tax. He says that it
does not appear from the Auditor’s state
ment that any process for the collection of
said tax has been issued, or any steps taken,
citcpi uutiee in me newspapers, -ana de
mands for the payment, which has been
refused. He says that no resort has been
had to the coercive means to enforce the pay
ment of the taxes, pointed out by the laws,
which it is the Auditor's duty to direct the
Tax Collectors to do. That when this is
done, and forcible resistance should be
made, the Major General Commanding will,
upon its being reported to him, take prompt
measures to vindicate the supremacy of the
laws.
Washington Items.
Washington, January 20.—Gen. Grant
has gone to Richmond.
Gen. Sewall, who travelled from Holly
Springs to New Orleans, thence Vicksburg
via Baton Rouge, reports to the Bureau an
unsettled state of affairs. No telling what
the result may be. Great destitution exists,
but no starvation. The planters are without
means. Comparatively few plantations will
be worked this year, and they with compara
tively more attention to cereals. Few con
tracts have yet be en made with the Freed
men. There is no organized plan on the
part of planters governing the freedmen’s
wages—a limited amount of rations being
required in the river counties of Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Arkansas. There is little
cause fur apprehension inward. Sewall
reports that many Bureau agents and citizens
are worthless, and suggests care in their
selection.
Tho Secretary of the Treasury sent a com
munication to the Senate regarding the
cotton claims. It appears that Court claims
are denied an appeal to the Supreme Court
and that the Secretary, after ascertaining
as nearly the nett amount due
on judgment in Court claims, paid them.
The Chief Justice noton the bench to-day,
on account of sickness, causing much dis

Consul Heap reports to the State Depart
ment, under date December 20, that general
starvation prevails in and around Turin. A

persons had died in one day in that place.
The greatest number of deaths reported in

The Christians, numbering ten thousand,
are very poor, and are aided by Jews, who
