Where is Bates with that Star Spangled
Banner ? He ought to be somewhere near
Richmond by this time. It cannot be that
harm has befallen him, for the way had been
prepared, and due care had been taken to
explain to the ignorant unreconstructed that
this was a sort of flag of truce, and must be
respected. Where is Sergeant Bates, aud
what has become of that flag ?
8o asks the New York Tribune. In re
ply we would state that the Bates question
was slightly discussed between two -well
known War Democrats on Broad street
yesterday.
AUGUSTA MARKETS.
Wednesday, March 25—P. M.
FINANCIAL.—We quote as Prokers’ rates:
Gold, buying, 1.39; selling, 1.41. Silver, buy
ing, 1.33 ; selling, 1.37.
COTTON.—After several days painful inac
tivity the staple revived to-day, under the influ
ence of favorable advices. Some sales of New
York Middlings wore made at 24{0., and one
sale of 164 bales at 24c. Dealers’ faces already
are beginning to relax, from tho rigidity caused
by the decline. The market has been active and
sales free. We quote New York Middlings firm,
at the close of the market, at 24a24fc., and doubt
if any amount could bo bought under tho latter
figure.
BACON.—The demand is trifling, and trade
quiet. Stocks light and arrivals limited. Few
sales have transpired, and these at irrogular
rates, so we forbear from giving figures.
CORN—Continues in statu quo, with light
arrivals and moderate stocks. The demand is
fair but sales are not heavy, at 51.23a1.25 for
Prime Tennessee White, according to quantity.
WHEAT—Is scarce, and in great demand.
Reds especially are sought after, at $2 85a2.90 ;
and Whites bring $3.10a3.25.
FLOUR —Is active, at full rates.

the wharf.

The officers who shall conduct the elec
tions provided to he held under General
Grders 39> 40, 41 and 43, current series,
from these Headquarters, will observe tho
following regulations as to challenges of
voters:
1. No person who is not a registered
voter will be permitted to challenge the
right of any person to vote.
2. The challenger must state the ground
of his challenge, which must be confined to
the question of identity, or residence, or
both.
3. One of the officers conducting the
election shall then administer an oath to
the challenger that he verily believes, and
has good reason to believe, that tho person
challenged lias no right to vote at this
election, for the reasons by the challenger
stated, nud that his challenge is not made
for the purpose of obstructing or delaying
said election.
4. If the person challenged still insists
upon his right to vote, he shall then be
sworn, in like manner, that he is a duly
registered voter of the county where he
offers to vote, by the name under which he
claims to vote, and that he has resided in
said county for the ten days next preceeding
this election. Or, if he claims to vote on a
certificate of registration in any other county
of the State, he shall swear that ho is the
identical person named in said certificate,
and as to residence the same as above. On
taking an oath as aforesaid, the challenged
party shall bo permitted to vote without
farther question. Should he decline to take
such oath, his vole shall be rejected.

Wo bare tho best ot authority for sayiug
that Governor Brown mado no such state
ment in reference to Got. Bullock. The
thing is totally false—a flimsy trick gotten
up to cheat the Vbteva of Georgia,—A r eio
Era.
As we published, and shall continue to
publish, the same declaration ascribed to
Gov. Brown, we have this to say : The Era
editor’s denial amounts to nothing, nor is
his “best authority ” any better so long as
he keeps that authority in the dark. The
question is, will Gov. Brown deny it f We
dare him to do it, and if he should we are
nared to name quite as respectable, and
ir more honest man than himself, who
will swear he heard him say it. Now, stand
up or back square' out, Mr. Era.—Macon
Telegraph, March 20/A.
Sneed is at liberty to prove anything ho
pleases, as he has already written himself
down an ass. One denial from us is quite
sufficient, and we shall not occupy much
space to gratify his vanity. His daring Gov.
Brown reminds us of a poodle barking at a
magnificent, well laden train of cars, travel
ing at the rate of forty miles per hour.
Gurley can bark as long and as loud as he
pleases. We presume the swearing of his
crew will not turn a hair on tho Governor’s
head.— Era.

HON. JAMES ATKINS NOMINA!ED
FOE CONGEESS.
Kingston, Saturday, March 21st.
Pursuant to the call of the Republican
Executive Committee for the Seventh
District, the delegates assembled at Kings
ton, on Saturday, the 21st instant, to
nominate a Republican candidate for
Congress. Afl o’clock p. m., the delegates
assembled in the Depot, aud the meeting
was called to order by Captain Jas. Glenn,
of Whitfield county, who moved that the
Hon. Benj. F. Bigelow, of Polk county, be
elected the permanent Chairman of the
Convention, and Col. Sheibley, of Floyd
county, permainent Secretary.
Letters were then read from Hon. Wm.
Markham and Col. Broyles, both declining
to allow their names to go before the Con
vention for the nomination. Col. Sheibley’s
name having been mentioned for tho
nomination, he, also, in a short address,
declined being a candidate.
A Committee of five, on credentials,
having been appointed, then made their
report of the following named gentleman
as delegates, allowing each county the
same number of voters as it had repre
sentatives in the Constitutional Conven
tion :
Fulton County —G. W. Evans, James L.
Dunning, L. A. Pond, W. H. Jennings
Austin Wright, Andrew Jackson, Micheal
Cargile.
Whitfield County —Robert Bentley, Jas.
Glenn.
DcKalb County —James Walker, B. D.
Shumate.
Gordon County —D. G. King, A. A.
Buck.
Floyd County— D. S. Bentley, W. B. Ilig
genbotham, W. H. Webb.
Cobb County —Wells B. Whitman, Dix
Fletcher, A. Fay.
Murray County —S. F. Jones.
Catoosa County —A. E. Murdock, Isaac
Johns.
Polk County —Benj. F. Bigelow,
Bartow County —Aaron Collins, W. K.
Harris, W. L. Goodwine, Bryant F. Leak.
Total number of votes allowed, 10.
Nominations being next in order, Mr. W.
H. Jennings, of Fulton, nominated Mr.
James Atkins, of Fulton, and Mr. King, of
Gordon comity, nominated Mr. James L.
Dunning, of Fulton. The delegations then
selected their representatives to cast their
votes, and, on motion of Mr. Evans, the
vote was taken by ballot, resulting as fol
lows :
Dunning 5
Atkins IQ
Mr. Dunning not votiug.
Upon motion of Mr. Pond, Mr. Atkins was
then declared the unanimous choice of the
Convention.
Capt. Glenn, of Whitfield, then offered the
following resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted:
Eesolved, That we fully endorse the Con
stitution as recently framed by the Conven
tion at Atlanta, under which the acts of
Congress of the Dnited States.
Eesolved, That we fully endorse the nomi
nation of Hon. R. B. Bullock for Governor,
and pledge ourselves lo Lis unqualified sup
port.
Eesolved, That the proceedings of this
Convention be published in the New Era,
at Atlanta, and such other newspapers of
tho District as are favorable to reconstruc
tion.
After three round cheers for Bullock and
Atkins, Col- Atkins, in a short speech,
thanked the Convention for the honor done
him in giving him the nomination, and
pledged himself to the full support of Col.
Bullock and the reconstruction ticket.
Mr. Dunning being-next called for, made
a shoit speech, pledging himself to the
earnest support of the nominee of the Con
vention, aiid urged all to accept the Consti
tution proposed by tbe Convention as the
quickest road to civil government and peace
and order.
The Convention then adjourned sine die,
and as the delegates passed out of the depot
they were greeted by the growls of a few
drunken Democratic Kangaroos, who mis
took the crazy effect of the bad whisky they
had drank for the promptings of sense or
common decency, and as the poor things
knew no better they were not noticed. This
was the only expression of disorder given
during the session of the Convention, which
otherwise passed off with the greatest har
mony.
A Word to Single Women.— ls a man
wipes his feet on the doer mat before coming
into the room, you may be sure he will
make a good, domestic husband. If a man,
in snuffing the candles, snuffs theip out,
you may be sure that he will make a stupid
husband. If a man puts his handkerchief
on his knees while taking his tea, you may
be sure that he will make a prudent hus
band. In the same way, always mistrust
the man who will not take the last griddle
cake, but prefers waiting for the next warm
batch. It is not unlikely that he will make
a greedy, selfish husband.
The miserable old scalawag, J. R.
Sneed, ol the Macon (Ga.) lelegraph, is
getting up a series of political "On Dits”

cracy. Sneed has more impudence and
less brains than any quill driver in the
South, and since the surrender he has taken
to tho detestable habit of dying hi? whis

A Pabjsun Cat Fauci**.— There live* at
present in the Quarter La Pepinierce, Paris,
a man who is the most active and practical
member of the Animal’s Friend Seciety, and
yet,whoso singular exiitacoo is hardly known
to the public. This man has made himself
the general guardian and feeder of dogs and
cats without owners. Friendless passies and
dionerless mongrels leap for joy at his
approach. About one o’clock in the morn
ing, when it is high ’change among the bow
wows, and the cats are holding their balls
and other reunions, he comes forflTloaded
with such provisions as they like, calling in
the tenderest voice, “ Petits, petiis !” They
gather around him with frantic joy, mee-ow
ing, pawing, leaping, flourishing their tails,
and rubbing against him. Happy the cat
who is distinguished by his touch, and
proud, indeed, is she whom he picks up and
pets. More join him as he goes along, until
they reach the Boulevard Malesherbe, and
here there is a wonderful party, indeed.
Cats are seen climbing every wall, comingi
out of every alley, yelling and mol-rowing
with delight, jumping in diabolical sara
bands, and keeping up to match a concert
infernal. The benevolent man opens his
bundle, and then a scene begins which
beggars description. The big cats dash in
furiously, and snatch from the maigrclets
ninets, or starved kittens; and their
rnpacity, the growling of the full led. the
scoldings of the cat feeder, the fightings,
spittings, the growlings, aud yells, a mix'ed
feeling of tenderness • and ferocity, devotion
and pillage, lit perhaps by some transient
moon rays of a winter’s night, all make a
scene worthy of a Caliott. The worthy cat
feeder employs continually in his house a
cook expressly to prepare food for bis cats,
lie knows the names of his flock, whom he
feeds, pets, commands, and rules.
...... The French are peculiarly clever
in delicate scientific tests; but no nation
on earth excopt tho Germans could ever
have thought of so singular and effective a
trial of mechanical apparatus as was used
lately upon anew arrangement for venti-
House of Commons of the North
, German Parliament. When the apparatus
was all in order, the three hundred work
men who had been engaged upon the
building, which is an entirely new* one,
were shut up in , the Council Chamber’
furnished with cigars and tobacco, and
ordered to enter upon a general fumiga
tion ; which command tho tobaccu-lovin<*
Tepons joyfully obeyed, delighted at so
easy and pleasant a. mode of earning their
wages. After three hours the doors were
opened, and the thermometer showed a
rise of only one degree in the temperature
of the room, while tho atmosphere was
comparatively unaffected by the enormous
amount of tobacco burned there. Such is
the statement, at all events. If it be true,
the Berlin legislators may congratulate
themselves upon possessing what does not
elsewhere exist-a thoroughly ventilated
Council Chamber.— N. K Sun.
.....One of the most delightful places in
the world to live in must be Blanco county,
Texas. Though the registered vote of
Blanco is 112_ white and 8 colored, yet the
District Cierk, in making return of the cases
of crime in the county since June, 18G5,
puts down “83 persons indicted for murder,”
“j assaults with intent to kill,” “20 robbery,”
“27 theft of stock," and a fair show of other
crimes. The 83 indicted for murder have
been thus disposed of; “10 acquitted, 40
indictments quashed, 31 continued for ser
vice, 2 dismissed.” The Texas paper which
contains these official returns quietly re
marks: “The number of murders probably
accounts for the small registration of voters.”
Douglas Jekbold’s Ready Wit. One
evening, in a mixed company, Jerrold and
some friends were playing a game to test
their knowledge of Shakespeare. Each
person was to name an object, it mattered
not what, to the guest next to him, and the
latter, under the pain of a forfeit, was to give
some quotation from the poet to illustrate it.
To Jerrold was given the word “treadmill,”
and hardly hesitated a moment before reply,

Tub Empress on the Stage. — One of the
pleasantest incidents of the French Court
stage occurred when the Emperor Napoleon
jokingly kissed the Empress Josephine, who
was acting a little operatic part in the thea
tre in the palace at St. Cloud. She demurely
stepped forward and remarked that any one
of the audience who was dissatisfied with
•the performance might retire, and have his
money returned to him at the doors. The
consequent laughter was uproarious.
The Beard a Century Ago. —“I remem
ber,” says Smollett, in his Letters from
Italy , “a student in the Temple, who, after
a long and learned investigation of the
beautiful, had resolution enough to let his
beard grow, and wore it in all public places,
until his heir-at-law applied for a commis
sion of lunacy against him, when he sub
mitted to the razor rather than run any
risk of being found non compos.''
Beating Barnum.— Orator Henley ex
celled Barnum in his way. Once he
attracted together to his chapel an immense
number of shoemakers, by advertising that
on the following Sunday he would lay open
to the public a mode by which a pair of
shoes might be made in four minutes, and
demonstrate the case and certainty of this
new method by doing it in the face of the
audience. He did so by producing a pair
of boots, and cutting the feet off !
A Witty Rkpi.y.— We have heard of
the witty reply of a slave who had stolen
and eaten one of his master’s turkeys, when
he was accused of crime. He repelled all
idea of wrong, saying that “ Massa’s
property only changed form ; he has less
turkey, but more nigger.”

Virginia Convention.
Richmond, March 25.—1n the Convention
a resolution was introduced appointing a
Committee to inquire in the conduct of
Judge Underwood, President of the body.
The resolution embodies a letter fron John
Ilawxshurst, Chairman of the Republican
State Executive Committee (published in
the papers this morning), in which he
states that Underwood, in a conversation
about raising means lor the Republican
party, had said to him that fc “we” favored
Chase for President, Senator Sprague
would give one hundred thousand dollars
for the use of the party ; and also, that two
men in the State would give one thousand
dollars each for nominations to Congress.
As Judge Underwood was not present the
resolution was laid over till Wednesday next.
The disfranchise question was again taken
up and an amendment offered disfranchising
all who voted for secessiou candidates. It
was strongly opposed by several leading Re

They quoted private letters i4ceived a few
days past from Stevens, Sumner, Wilsou,
Washburn, Kelly of Pa., and several other
prominent Radicals, advising against any
further disfranchisement than was contained
in the reconstruction acts. The number dis
franchised by the proposed amendment was
estimated at between fifteen and fifty thous
and. No final actiou had.
