I It has been suggested that there should

I ertainly rather objectionable.
I To show how awkwardly the present plan
■ lorks, we iiave only to give an instance—
I at the clock at the street Car Depot
McKinne street, is just twenty minutes
ster than the Telegraph office time (which

on Hill.
■Piead this out-spoken letter of Colonel
to Ben Hill. It rings like true
■etal. It gives the lie direct to the forgery
■educed in a letter said to have been
by Colonel Farrow, to somebody,
or somewhere else. The air
a little sulphurous. “Coffee for
and pistols for two,” we must acknowl-
R e > hut we very well recollect a certain
■tic difficulty, some years back, caused by
brave words uttered by this same
Hill, that ended in a paper war. But

Hirlt. Karr. Huey aml Juicy,
Is the letter of Lieut. General John B.
Gordon, aspirant for Gubernatorial honors,
and leader of the forlorn hope of the so
ealled Tory Democracy of Georgia, to the
colored men, who arc being used (wc fear
as puppets) at Brunswick, Ga., if there ever
were such men in existence, which we very
much doubt. Democracy shirks no sub
terfuge, hesitates at no fiction, and deals in
cute tricks of legerdemain that .Monsieur
Heller would never bo able to unravel.
Beware, colored voters of Georgia, how you
listen to the Gordonites, wherever they
come from.
A Carpet-Bagger.
Fitch, the United States District Attorney
and carpet bagger, will be beateu for Con
gress by an overwhelming vote. The Gov
ernment has been put to great expense,
trouble, and delay because of his neglect in
the United States District Court. —New Ent.
Not only the United States Government,
but private individuals, have been put to
expense, and the rights of parties have beeu
sacrificed by U. S. A. Fitch neglecting his
official business to go on a political rampage.
YVe happen to know some things that go to
show tills neglect, and only wait the time
and occasion to show them up.
To lluiiuess Men.
Don’t you all know full well that the
Republican is taken and read by more per
sons than any other newspaper in Georgia?
Don’t you well understand that the Re
publican Party is a very strong and a very
large one in every county in the State ?
Don’t you appreciate tlm fact that that
Party has large sums ot money to spend at
various times, whether in articles to eat,
drink, or wear ?
Don't you think that our friends will be
worse than fools if they patronize those men
who are afraid of the wrath of the great dirt
flinger, who does the scribbling in chief for
a “decent and respectable” journal ?
Don't you honestly believe that there is
hardly a merchant in Augusta who realizes
the fact that if they were to advertise their
wares in our columns, more benefit would
accrue to them than by any other plan they
could adopt?
Don’t all candid, truthful business men
feel that they are deterred from patronizing
us for fear of what “Mrs. Grundy” says?
Hoiv S, It 7
That whilst there are some who curse and
abuse the National Republican ; won’t
advertise in its columns, because they are
obeying the behests of the “great shyster
won’t subscribe to it, because the same great
authority forbids them, yet they will read it
(the nasty thing). Wc are continually
receiving complaints that our regular sub
scribers cannot keep their papers in conse
quence of the great Democratic demand for
it. Wherever you may go—barbers’shops,
hotels, or any where else—the universal cry
is “Where is that capital 1) sheet ?”
We ask, as at the commencement, “why
;s this thus?” and reply, 0 gentle reader, it is
because we publish a newspaper which no
head of a family is ashamed of being read in
the Family Circle—because our columns
coutain news which all read with avidity—
because we give nearly double the amount
of reading matter than both the other city
papers united, and at one half their charge
of subscription—because we are abused so
much proves that there is some good in us,
and we read that “a man who has not an
enemy is a worthless being,” therefore our
paper is sought for by all men, though many
differ with us, and will read it. There are
many other becauses, but the above will
suffice.
A Correction.
We have the official report of Alex. Grlm
age’a speech at the mass meeting, and we
ask our readers to compare the following
report of it with that which appeared in the
Chronicle <f- Sentinel ol Friday morning.
Alex. Grimage said he regretted that he had
been called on, on account of his ignorance.
He was proud to have been able by the vote
he gave to send men to Atlanta to frame a
Constitution. They have done so —let us
ratify it—let ns rally together—now is the
time for colored people to hang together.
We know that many will be discharged for
voting the Republican ticket, but let us stick
together in spite of that, and vote for the
Constitution.
Fifty years’ experience with Democrats
for friends (and you know what sort of friends
they were to us, fighting to keep ns in
slavery) has fully satisfied me, and I am
content, and expect to spend the rest of my
life, of perhaps only a few years, in the
Republican ranks. One thing, colored
brethren, take the advice of an old man.
Don’t strive for office, but wait until you are
competent to fill office. Select the best men
now to fill the offices, who are competent, of
the white race, and wait.
D’Arcy MetSce.
Large rewards are offered for the discovery
of the murderer of the above gentleman.
News from Ottawa, of the 7tli inst., says:
The assassination of the Hon. Thomas
D'Arcy McGeejexeites universal horror here
and throughout the country. The authorities
have taken every means in their power to
secure the murderer, and several arrests
have been made, hut as yet no definite clue
has been obtained. The Government of
Canada offer $50,000, the Government of
Ontario and Quebee $5,000, and the Mayor
of Ottawa $4,000 for the apprehension of
the guilty party. The authorities at all
points have been directed to use their best
diligence iu hunting the murderer, and
arrest ail suspicious persons. Business is
almost entirely suspended and Ha"s are
flying at half-mast. Preparations are being
uiudo for the removal of the body to Montreal.
Reilltiraliou.
Wc publish below instructions from Col.
F. ilulbert, Superintendent Registration lor
Georgia. YY’e have been told by several that
threats of discharge have been made against
them if they voted the Republican ticket.
We hope the colored men have risked every
such attempt to intimidate them, and will
promptly report the names of all parties who
have stooped to this low, mean, despicable,
and unmanly subterfuge to deter any one
from exorcising the rights given them to
register ami vote ! Wo regret that we were
not sooner furnished with this circular; hut
it is not too late to spot the men who have
sought to control the laborers of the country :
lleadq'rs Sub-District of Georuia, 1
Office Superintendent Registration, )
Atlanta, Ga-, March 26, 18G8. j
It. Wilton, President Board of Registra
tion, City of Augusta, Ga.:
Sir —From information received at this
Bureau, it is believed that, in many instances,
freeduien are threatened with being dis
charged, “for the purpose of controlling their
votes, or of restraining them from voting,”
at the election ordered to bo held, com
mencing on the 20th day of April next.
The privilege of voting, as guaranteed to
them by the United States Government, must
be exercised without hindrance from any
source whatever.
You are specially instructed to report to
this Bureau all cases of interference with
their political rights that may come to your
knowledge ; together with names of parties
concerned, and facts appertaining thereto.
Do not rely upon mere rumors, but make
diligent inquiry in person, in order that the
innocent may be protected and the guilty
punished. E. Hulbeut,
Superintendent of Registration
for State of Georgia.
BraTinir.
Father Hue, the famous Roman Catholic
explorer of China, relates that on one of
his long journeys among that strange
people, his caravan embraced an unusual
number of jacks among the donkeys
employed ns carriers of the expedition; that
these jacks at every resting place kept up
such an abominable braying, especially
toward the morning, as to render sleep
impossible to the Abbe; that at last he
complained of this to the master of the
donkeys, who instantly replied that his
“gracious highness” should be no more
disturbed by this braying ; that, sure
enough, a quiet night, with its refreshing
sleep followed, anil on inquiring into the
cause in the morning, he was pointed to
the noisy jacks, each with a heavy stone
tied to his tail “That,” said the driver,
“is the way we settle them. The jackass
stands upon his dignity, and will not bray
unless ho can straighten out his tail, and
with a heavy stone attached he can’t
straighten it out, don’t you see ? Every
time lie tries it the weight on his tail pulls
him down and he shuts his jaw.”
Won’t somebody tie a stone to the tail of
some of our brayers on the Democratic
side ? Wc could mention several who are
making night and day hideous; but we
will only specify one, and that is the irre
pressible “shyster,” who could make any
horse of the mule kind ashamed of himself;
the dignified, respectable representative of
the new bogus Democracy. The dignity of
a jackass’ tail must be very sensitive to
the nervous touch, when a small weight
tied to it shuts his jaws up and paralyzes
his tongue. It is a pity that this China
practice could not bo adopted in this land
oflight aud liberty.

Science and Truth Triumphant
Augusta, C4a„ April 9th, 18(>8.
This is to certify that 1 have been paralyzed in
both my legs and left arm since July, 186fi. I have
been attended by- different medical Doctors of this
city, without deriving any benefit from their treat
ment, but on tlie contrary, seemed to grow worse
When Professor Roberts arrived here I was ad
vised to visit him, »t the Augusta Hotel. which I
did. It required the assistance of three men to
take me up the stairs of the Hotel to Dr. Roberts’
rooms. I have taken the twelfth treatment at the
hands of the Professor, aud have been so far re
lieved as to be able to use my arm as well as I ever
did, and with as much power, and can walk a con
siderable distance with case, aud find my general
lieallh very much improved. All this I ascribe to
the power of Animal Magxetum, as practiced
by Prof Roberts. .

We are personally acquainted with Mr. Sulli"
van, and can vouch for the truth of the above
statement. We have observed from time to time,
