If they can fiud any Inferior Court, or nuy Clerk of the In!erio r Court to be elected, we should like to have them or some one point it out. There is no such office, and no such candidate nomi nated by the Republican Party, on Tburs day, in this city. Barren honors, such as the Constitutionalist would fain give to a gentleman in this office, are neither wished or sought. ’Nnf ced. 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. Post Office.

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.
