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: 1866 July 31.

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 ? Heticent.

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.

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 appointment, and delaying tho McCardle decision. Consul Heap reports to the State Depart ment, under date December 20, that general starvation prevails in and around Turin. A few days before one hundred and nine persons had died in one day in that place. The greatest number of deaths reported in one day was one hundred and forty-two. The Christians, numbering ten thousand, are very poor, and are aided by Jews, who number twenty thousand. The trial of Surratt is set for the 24th of February. . The House Conference Committee on the cotton tax, consists of Messrs. Logan, May nard and Brooks. The Peabody Trustees. Richmond, January 20.—General Grant and lady arrived this afternoon.

Nothing was found to warrant his arrest. Train says he came to Ireland as a correspondent for the New York World, and formally protested, through the American Consul, against his detention. Iho stock of gun shops in Limerick have been seized by the police to put it out of reach of the Fenians. Dr. Wabors, editor of the Dublin Irish man, is arrested.
