Facts
Are stubborn things. Truth is stranger
than fiction. The reader can prove this by
calling on Robert Carroll, at E. F. Blodgett
& Co.’s Boot and Shoe Emporium, and
examine one of tho finest and best selected
stocks of Boots and Shoes this side of tho
Potomac. Yes, wc say so, and aro not
afraid of contradiction. Among the late
Spring styles will be found Miles’ celebrated
pump sole Congress full droBS Gaiter ; D.
Rodney King’s prizo medal pump-sole
Polish cut Congress Gaiters; gents’ pump
sole Boots ; also, the celebrated Zouave and
Victoria Shoe. In fact, any and every
kind of shoes, unless those shoddy and
paper stuffed shoes. If you want tho latter,
don’t apply to us, as we don’t keop them.
Our prices will satisfy our customers. All

I hereby certify that I have been partially
paralyzed for four years—four months of
that time I was not to make a step, or
even so mush as more one of my toes on
either foot, and was entirely destitute of
feeling in my legs.
I was examined by forty sight Confede

incurable— having Curvature of the Spine,
which produced paralysis. I commenced
taking treatment of Professor Bobsrts
March 4th, 1868,and now, after taking nine
treatments, by Animal Magnetism, I feel
like a “new creature 1” I can now stand
up, and walk any desired distance, without
crutches or canes, which was utterly impos
sible for more than four years before seeing

Augusta Hotel, March Gth, 18G8.
This certifies that I have been a great
sufferer with Rheumatism for five years,
my left ankle being much swollen, very
stiff and painful. I was treated twice,
only, by Dr. Roberts, at the Augusta Hotel,
Feb. 18th and 20tb, 1868, and now ham
not one symptom of Rheumatism or pain in
my body. AU the medicine I had taken
seemed to make me worse, and I never had
any relief until treated magnetically. People
may laugh —but I have no more Rheumatic
pains—that’s so.
I work in Augusta Hotel.

Chrleston, March 13.—The Reconstruc
tion Convention has passed an Ordinance
invalidating all acts in the General Assem
bly since 1860, pledging the faith and credit
of the State for the benefit of corporations.
Democratic State Conventions.
Macon, March 13.—The Democratic State
Cr,ntral Committee, in session since last
night, closed their labors this afternoon, with
the following resolutions :
Resolved, That the opinions and feelings
of the National Democratic party of Georgia
and the United States, upon the unconstitu
tionality and injustice of the Reconstruction
Acts ot Congress are too decided and wel[
known to require reiteration here, their
opposition to the action of the several Con
ventions called in pursuance of these
acts, and to the effort to establish the
supremacy of the negro race in the South
and to place the destinies of those States in
the hands of adventurers and irresponsible
persons, is equally decided and well known ;
yet, warned by the fate of Alabama, and
actuated by the instinct of self-preserva
tion, we feel it to be our duty, to the extent
of our power, to provide against every con
tingency, and therefore would urge upon
our friends to participate in the election
which is to be held on the 20th of April, to
the end that the best and wisest men now
permanently identified with Georgia, and
who will administer her Government in the
interest of the people, and not for the pur
pose of plunder, may be chosen to organize
the Government, and frame the laws under
which we and our posterity may have to
live.
Resolved, That in view of these principles
and objects, we recommend to the people of
every name and faith, who have the honor
and well fare of Georgia at heart, that able
Jurist, Conservative Statesman, and in
corruptable Patriot, Augustus Reese, of the
county of Morgan, as their candidate for
Governor at the approaching election.
The following were chosen delegates at
large to the New York Convention : Gen
John B. Gordon, Absalom Es. Chappell, B.
H. Hill, and Henry S. Fitch.
The Committee recommend that District
Conventions be held on Tuesday, March

Washington Items.
Washington, March 13. —Anew Geor
gia bill was offered in the Supreme Court
this morning. Mr. Carpenter appeared on
behalf of the Secretary of War and others;
he objected on the ground that no one was
authorized to appear here on behalf of Geor
gia. Jenkins was not Georgia’s Governor.
The Court took the bill and objection under
advisement, and will probably decide it on
Monday at 12 o’clock. The galleries were
filled, nil black faces in the crowd ; it creates
indignation among the Republicans. The
galleries are almost entirely filled with ladies,
the members appear to have confined their
favors to their boarding houses. The Sena
tors occupy their usual seats, in the rear are
one hundred and fifty chairs for the mem
bers. Stanberry, Curtis and Nelson were
present for the President.
At one o’clock Chief Justice Chase entered
Court and proclaimed it open. They are
now reading the journal. During the read"
ing of the journal, the head of the House
procession, arm in arm, appeared at the
Senate entrance, where it halted for ten
minutes, and passed.
One of the managers announced that
Stevens and Butler were absent, when the
roll was called to swear Senators who were
present.
The hour will be occupied iu routine.
Chase governed the Court very strictly.
The Chaplain, in his elaborate appeal,
failed to mention the accused.
The managers were defeated in both
their attempts—first, to compel an answer
to day; and second, to have the trial
proceed immediately after their application,
regardless of State preparation of defense.
The Court will give the accused no
authority or money to send for witnesses.
The debate developed the fact that after
the President makes his answer on the 23d,
the managers will have to submit their
re-application to the House before present
ing it. The managers estimate that this
routine will occupy three days, after which
if the Senate continues in its present
temper, the President will have a liberal
time for preparation.
Only Stanberry, Curtis, and Nelson, of
the President’s counsel, were present. All
spoke, making a favorable impression.
Bingham, Wilson, and Butler, of the
mauagers, spoke. Butler fuvored speed in
the proceedings, as this was a railroad age t
Stevens, during tho absence of the Senate,
reclined on two chairs, in a prominent
position. His terrible cough gave interest
to the interruption of tho proceedings.
Revenue receipts $452,000.
A full Cabinet meeting to day; previ*
ously the President was engaged with
Stanberry and Curtis regarding his trial.
There was no argument in the Georgia
case to-day.
In the steamer “Wren” case, argued to
day, two points wero involved : When the
right of, capture as a prize terminated, and
> whether vessels belonging to the Confede
rate Government passed, by right of prop
erty’ to the Unitod States. Tho Wren was
captured June 13th, 1865.
CongreMionaL
Washington, March 13.— Senate— The
Chaplain prayed that tho verdict of the
high coart would be such as would be ap
proved by the people and the High Court
of Heaven.
Private bills were considered until the
impeachment hoar. During tho proceed
ing*, it is reported, in a noon dispatch, that
the Chief Justice snubbed Howard once
and Grimes twice, by interrupting their
BQ Kfs eß ii°ns with the remark, “The next
thing in order.” Edmunds, Patterson, and
Vicars were sworn.
The managers and the House entered,
and, on motion, the President’s counsel
were notified and entered.
Stanberry read a paper from the Presi
dent, authorizing himsslf, J. 8. Black, Wm-
M. Evarts, B. R. Curtis, and Thomas A. R,
Nelson to represent the President. Stan
berry asked for forty days to prepare an
answer.
Bingham opposed it, insisting that the
rules required the plea to-day. He was
supported by Wilson, when a sharp argu
ment ensund.
Mr. Edmunds moved to give to the 6th of
April to answer, but before put, Mr. Morton
moved that the Senate retire for consulta
tion. Carried.
The Senate remained out two hours and
ten minutes. On return, an order was read
that the President would answer on the 23d
of March.
The managers moved that immediately
after their reapplication, the trial proceed.
Lost, 26 to 25.
Conkling moved that the trial commence
immediately after application, unless Senate
granted time on cause. Carried by a strict
party vote.
The Court adjourned to the 23d, and Sen
ate adjourned to Monday.
