In the good old times, during the “merrie

for treating a beef-steak were thus set forth :
" Pound well your me«t until the fibroi break ;
Be lure the next you have, lo broil the iteak,
Hood coal* in plenty; nor a moment leave,
But turn it over this way, and then that.
The lean ihonld be quite rare—not so the fat ;
The platter, now and then, the juice receive,
Pul on the butter—place it on your meat—
Salt, pepper, turn it over, serve, and eat.”
Not a bad recipe, now-a-days, and fit

For the information of many persons who
have made inquiries ns to what county
officers arc elective, we would state that,
from the host information v-c can at present

elective—that is to ;ay : Ordinaries, Sheriffs,
Justices of the l’eaee, and Bailiffs ; Mem
bers ol tho Ilousc of Representatives, and

Old Greene,
We have intelligence from this staunch
old county of a small caucus—a meetingi
so-called, of the Democratic party—at which
one or two lawyers spoke a short while each ;
but they didu’t nominate any candidates for
county officers. We guess that stunning
blow hit by ex-Governor Jenkins was the
cause. We farther learn that the people of
Greene are for Bullock, the Constitution,
Relief, the Homestead law—the opinion ol
the “coppersmiths” (lawyers) [?) whose vo
cation is (glory to God !) almost played out,
as was Alexander’s when Paul spake at
Athens and the people followed him.

A friend of ours tells -a strange thing
upon himself. A day or two since, he felt
all of a sudden, a sensation of meanness
most unaccountable to him, such as a desire
to abuse and villify every decent and “re"
spectable” gentleman he should meet. He
even got so far along as to prevent a “smile”
or even his dinner being taken, and he
walked and thought, but could not discover
the cause of the unusual feeling. At last,
worn down with such action of his usually
equable mind, he resolved lo return home
as the shades of evening began to draw on.
He greeted his family with grimness, and
had no relish for his supper. The feeling
still continued. He tried to, but could not
enjoy his usual evening pipe. He prepared
to retire to bed, and upon divosting himsel!
of his coat, at once felt better ; but when
his wife picked up from the floor a news
paper, and finding that, by some un
accountable means, a copy of the Chronicle
& Sentinel had got into his coat-tail pocket,
he could account for all his badJeelings.
He chucked the thing into the fire, and
was instantly restored to hi* former state of
mind.
Aspirants.
Take care, friends, liow you suffer your
selves to be cajoled into the acceptance of
the candidacy for any office. You can
hardly conceive of the terrific batteries of
slang and trumped up stories that will be
raised against you—your capacity for
business, your intellect, your moral char
acter, your family cunn“etion, your long
forgotten expressions "of an idle, hilarious
moment, will all Vie brought up in judgment
against you, and if you are not called a
liar, a thief or a murderer, it will be a
wonder. This is modern Democratic
decency, while they claim all the decency
in the country. Such is the present tactics
used by the so-called Democratic Press
to vent their spleen and knaw the files
which are sharpening up their wits, until
some of them are well nigh crazy. We
shall take especial pleasure in continuing
the medicine even if an asylum for tho
lunatic should be the finale for them.
“Let Justice be Hone, iliouicli Ibo
Heaven. Fal 1!”
This sentiment has been called to our
mind by the fact that tho meat houses in
our city have been closed, and at 8 o’clock
yesterday not a bit of meat could be bad
at the Market. This is caused by the
unequal class legislation (for we cannot
help calling it so), which requires a butcher,
in a store for which he pays rent, to pay a
tax of S3OO dollars per annum for a license,
while in every other retail business a
license of ten, twenty or thirty dollars is
only required, according to sales made.
With the same propriety our City Fathers
could and should charge every man who
sells bacon, or dried beef, or flour or corn,
or any other of the necessaries of life,
the same fee of S3OO. Besides, this une
qual legislation, bearing so hardly, as we
conceive, upon the butchers at the meat
houses, is of serious concern to the house
keepers of the city, who have to plod, on
weary feet, from Hawk’s Gully to t(jo
Lower Market, and often find the last
scraggy piece of beef or mutton sold. The
great convenience of these established
houses, for the sale of meats of all kinds to
the tax-payers of the city, is beyond calcu.
lation, aud we cannot conceive of a valid
excuse for the retention of the fee required,
or the abolition of the butchers’ meat
houses, now closed, from the fact that they
were unable to pay the high tax imposed
upon them. Meat is high enough, as it is,
without additional weight upon tho con
sumers.

Ueiuoeriitlc Nomination* for County
Officer*.
We were under the belief when alluding
to the meeting of Tuesday night last, that
the county nominations were postponed on
account of tho weather or Governor Jeukius’
advisory letters, but we have good reason to
suspect another cause for the failure at that
time. The census of the faithful had not
been completed 1 the “dark lantern ” con
spirators of ante helium, know nothing days
had not gotten the wires al! set, and the
traps ready ; they had not completed the
work ol taking the names down' for future
proscriptive arrangements—for future at
tempts upon the inherent right of every man
to enjoy his religious and political opinions,
without let or hinderanco—without tho base
born, hell-conceived, devil-begotten pre
scription now so rampant in this “land of
the free and home ol’ the brave.” And
hence the faiTire to “bring out” their
Democratic, Know Nothing ticket.
To our foreign-born fellow citizens, we
say, beware ! The self-same deviltry, the
self-same spite, the self-same hate that
proscribed you in the days of Know
Nothingism, is on tho rampage—when a
man’s opinions, either as to his government
or his religion, cannot be allowed—when
he must either succumb, from weakness, or
be environed by enemies to his very
existence—to his business—to his avoca
tion, however simple or unobtrusive upon
the public. We have heard of no order
from any quarter for a “ numbering of the
people,” and we look upon such Democratic
assumption as the very height of impu
dence—the spawn of all that is mean, and
low anti disgusting, This attempt at force
is repugnant to the institutions of Republi
can government, and deserves, as it will
receive, the condemnation of all right
thinking men of all parties.
Governor Jenkins.
The Journal <£■ Messenger, in referring to
Governor Jenkins’ reported advice to the
Democratic party for a course of non-action
says :
If this statement bo true, we do not
hesitate to express our very decided regret
that Governor Jenkins should offer any such
advice, and our no less decided opposition to
its being followed by the people of Georgia.
It is, in our humble judgment, a blunder of
that description pronounced by Talleyrand
to be worse than a crime. It is unwise, ill
timed, and almost inexcusable, and we are
sure the people will so pronounce.
After alluding to the Supreme Court of
the United States, ho goes on to say in re
gard to the advice of Governor Jenkins as
to “non-action ” recommended by the Ex-
Governor :
Is he so enamored of the results attained
last year by adherence to this policy—ttud
which policy it is known this journal at that
time heartily approved.
And—
We repeat that we scarcely have words to
express our regret ut, and disapproval of,
such u recommendation. If the people heed
it, of which we have little fear, however, they
are lost beyond even a hope of redemption.
Nothing can he clearer.
Now, it is very clearly evident to us that
such (lings at Judge Jenkins come with a
very bad grace from the Democratic party of
Georgia, when he has been the leader so
long, either as a Whig or a Democrat, of
one or the other parties heretofore and now,
in our State. We had thought that his
counsels at least would have had some influ
ence upon the various and sundry cliques
who seek, as oi yore, to rule or ruin the
country. It is neither “unwise,” “ill
timed,” or a “blunder,” if the people of
Georgia will regard it as they should, and as
we daily call upon them to do, and that is,
to ratify the Constitution and vote for Col.
Bci.lock, who aided in making it, and who
stands square upon it; and will maintain it at
all hazards, knowing neither rich or poor in
the execution of the laws made under it.
Politics in South Carolina.
Hamburg, S. C., March 23.
2 o the Editors of the Niros: In this
small town, thirty-one citizens have signed
the following document, viz.: "We, the
undersigned, citizens of Hamburg and
vicinity, have agreed to form a Democratic
Club, whose purpose shall be to support the
principles of the Democratic party, and
further, to send delegates to the National
Democratic Convention. We therefore in
vite, from all our fellow citizens favoring
this, their hoip and support.”
It is supposed that about as many more
will sign the samo. It is rumored that, p
Democratic meeting will be held here on
Wednesday next, and that General Wright,
of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, or
Judge Aldrich, or both, will address the
meeting.
From the above, it appears that, in Ham
burg, 8. C., a Democratic Club is organ
ised, but as the information “to the Editor
of the News" is without a signature, and
as it appears the Democratic Club is without
a “head and tail,” it. is one of the many
farces to which Hamburg is much subject.
As sure as that “so called Democratic
child” can not bear tbe light of the sun, so
sure it will disappear without any notice.

Impeachment,
James Madison, who, by the testimony
of his own notes of the proceedings of the
Constitutional Convention, is, more than
any other man, the father of the Constitu
tion, laid down the authority of Congress
in the matter of impeachments, in the
Virginia Convention for deliberating on
the National Constitution:
“There is one security in this case to
which gentlemen may not have adverted ;
if tho President be connected in any
suspicious manner with any persons, and
there be grounds to believe he will shelter
himself, tho House of Representatives can
impeach him; they can remove him if
found guilty ; they can suspend him when
suspected, and the power will devolve on
the Vico President. Should he bo sus
pected also, he may likewise be suspended
till he be impeached and removed, and the
Legislature may make a temporary ap
pointment.’’—[Vol. 2, page 367.
