I TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA
■ BY THE
■Hous. Foster Blodgett and J. R. Parrott
WasmxiiTos, D. C., April 7, 18G8.
M 1), 0 undersigned, having been constituted
■ p omm iitce bv the Constitutional Ccnven-
K v , 0 f Georgia to visit the national capital
present the list of names recommended
relief from political disabilities, as well as
Bo commend to the favorable consideration
Bf Congress the relief measures contained in
Br„r new Constitution, and having performed
duty, deem it proper to present to the
the result of our mission, together
B*i:h our views upon pending questions.
■ On our arrival at Washington, Congress
Bft.i, engaged in the trial of the President j)f
■y United .States, and this trial so occupied
e time that very little other business could
■ done. Wc laid before each House the
of the Convention, with the list
names recommended for relief iroiu politi-
Bal disabilities, aud circulated among the
one hundred copies of our
containing our relief article.
Bh’e also met members ol the Reconstruction
aud conversed freely with Sena-
Hers and Representatives relative to the
of our mission.
■ The sentiment prevailing amongst Con-
a - ,0 our relief measures, seems
B ho that this is a mere local question,
reference to the people of Georgia
her local interests, which will be open
consideration and adjudication of nur
courts hereafter, and that they will bo
obstacle in the way of the reception of
Constitution by Congress.
H We arc, therefore, clearly of the opinion
Hhat, if our Constitution is ratified by the
and the Reconstruction party suc-
in the election of otiicers in the
Havniization ol State governmeut who are
Hire and loyal men, and who can take the
oaths, then our homestead and
measures will bo safe.
H Congressmen stem to be somewhat eau-
about relieving persons in Rebel States
Hr,>m political disabilities, and we are iu-
to believe that very few, it any, will
Emily i lieved until our election is over,
it is known how the election has gone,
how those desiring and needing relief
stood in the contest.
B 'Vc are assured by leading men in both
House* of Congress, and high officials in the
and judicial departments of the
■iovemmriit, taat should Georgia ratify the
■loasti’alion am! elect sound Union recon
—the regular nominees of the
Bitty—w fill the offices of the new govorn-
'it.'.here will be no difficulty in having

not give them the offices we shall have
“negro equality.” This is as false now as it
was in lSliO. They lured some and forced
others then into their ruinous policy. They
are now trying the same means.
Think of it, Union men ! Think of it, you
who have been called submissionists, lories,
and soap-tails in the past, just because you
would not admit that secession was the only
sovereign remedy for all evils. AVe tried the
rule of these men then, and wc found that
they were neither wise, just nor successful;
ami we cannot trust them again.
(ion. Gordon is representing the dimiuion,
auti-reconstruotion, anti relief elements all
combined, with all their noisy fury on
the one side ; and Col. Bullock is repre
senting the Union, reconstruction, relief,
law and order elements, with all their bless
ings on the other. Free men of ruined
Georgia, which will you prefer? Union
men of Georgia, good meu of all parties,
come forward like patriots and unite with
us in giving peace and confidence to our
great old State. Our party rules the nation,
and will for years to come. Be not deceived
or frightened by the false cry of negro
domination and carpet bag rule. This cry
comes from hungry, disappointed office seek
ers, who, whenever it suits their purpose,
put forth carpet baggers for office (see their
congressional candidate for the Ist district).
It conies from those who have no power,
wisdom or patriotism, and never will have
either.
If we are true to ourselves, our State is
safe. The powers of the Government are
for us, and the heart of the nation is with
us. We have now a chance to place Geor
gia on an equal footing with her sister
States, and when we are in power we will
prove to the world that Union men can and
will govern firmly, wisely, and well.
Georgians, Union men, Republicans, Ke
construetionists, Relief men ali, all unite and
rally for the good of the Union and the
salvation of your beloved State. Let your
rallying cry be Bui.lock, the Constitution,
and Relief ! See that every Union vote is
polled. Work unitedly until the polls close
on the 23d, and our word for it, all will be
well. Then will you have the gratification
of witnessing Georgia once more in the
Union, redeemed and regenerated.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
Having been unanimously nominated for
the office of Governor, by a Convention fully
representing a large majority of the voters
of the State, I do not feel at liberty to disre
gard their wishes by refusing to accept the
great honor thus conferred.
My only desire is to be of service to (he
whole people of our great State, with whom
my lot has been so long and so pleasantly
cast, in building up her waste places and in
reviving her prostrated, industrial and com
mercial system, under the benign influence
of a civil government, in which all her citi
zens may participate. To the consummation
of this object my every effort shall be
devoted.
The Constitution adopted by the late Con
vention is before you. It was my privilc e
to aid in the formation of that instrument,
and thus to become familiar with not only
the letter of this fundamental law, but also
with the spirit and the intentions of those
who framed Tit. My votes are recorded upon
all its various branches, and it is therefore
unnecessary for me to enter into any state
ment ot my political principles, other than
to say that I stand fully committed to the
new Constitution, and have an earnest
desire to vitalize those great measures—the
‘‘Relief ” and the “Homestead”—and thus
enable our ruined people to take courage for
the future, with a full assurance that the
results of their labor shall be enjoyed by
themselves and their families.
It will be the duty of the General Assem
bly to provide a thorough system of educa
tion for the State.
If called by your vstes to assume the
exalted position of your Chief Executive, it
will be my duty, and no les3 a pleasure, to
nominate to the Senate, for confirmation,
persons whose past services, well established
character and ability, have secured for them
selves the confidence of their fellow citizens
in their respective districts, and whose fit
ness, by reason of their known intelligence
and moral worth, for the positions to which
they- may be recommended, will ensure their
confirmation by the representatives of the
people.
“With malice toward none, with charity
for all," looking only to the glory, peace, and
prosperity of our noble State, and the perpe
tuity of free, civil government throughout
the land, 1 have The honor to bo your fellow
citizen, R. B. Bullock.

General Orders, No. 52.
I. Whereas, The Constitutional Convention
of the State ol Georgia, recently in session iu
this city, did, on the I.oth day of March, 1808,
adopt an Ordinance entitled: “An Ordinance
to provide for the election of civil officers ,”
which Ordinance, among other things, provides:
“That an election be held, beginning on the
twentieth day of April, 1808, (at such places
as may be designated by the’Commanding Gen
eral of the District) for voting on the ratifica
tion of the Constitution, for tlie election of
Governor, members of the General Assem
bly, Representatives to the Congress of the
United States, and all other otiicers to be
elected as provided in this Constitution, and
said election to be kept open from day to day at
tbe discretion of the General commanding.
“At said election on the ratification of tbe
Constitution, and for Governor, Members of
Congress, Members of the General Assembly,
and lor all other civil officers, tbe qualifications
for voters shall bo tbe same a3 prescribed by
tbe Act ol Congress, known as the Sherman
bill, for voters at the election on the ratifica
tion of the Constitution, and at all elections
under the Provisional Government. And
Major General Meade is respectfully requested
to give the necessary orders to carry into
effect the foregoing provisions, and cause due
returns to be made aud certificates of election
to issue by tbe proper officers. But this
Ordinance shall not apply to tbe Justices
of tbe Peace, who shall be elected at such time
as shall bo provided for by the first General
Assembly until otherwise provided by law.”
11. As by tbe provisions of said Ordinance
the Commanding General is requested to cause
certificates of election to be issued to those per
sons who may be elected to said olfiecs, and
that lie may not be called upon to cause certifi
cates of election to be issued to persons ineligi
ble to bold office, bo calls the attention of all
concerned to the provisions of Sec. 3 of tlie
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, proposed by Congress and designated
as the 11th Article, which section be deems, un
der tbe reconstruction acts, applicable to the
election of officers provided lor by said Ord
inance, and is as follows:
"Sec. 3. No person shall be Senator or Repre
sentative in Congress, or elector of President and
Vice President, or bold any office, civil or mili
tary under the United States, or under any
State, who having previously taken an oath, as
a member of Congress, or as an officer of the
United States, or as a member ot any State
Legislature, or as any executive or judicial
officer of any State, to support the Constitution
of the United States, shall have engaged iu in
surrection or rebellion against the same, or
given aid or comfort to tlie enemies thereof.
But Congress may, by a vote of two thirds of
each House, remove such disability.”
Attention is also called to the 6th section of
tbe Supplementary Reconstruction Act of Con
gress, which passed July 19th, 1867, in which
it is declared that “the words ‘executive or
judicial office in any State’ shall be construed
to include all civil offices created by law for the
administration of any general law of a State, or
for the administration of justice.”
111. The following are the officers to bo
elected at tbe approaching election in the State
of Georgia, under the provisions of the forego
ing Ordinance and tbe Act of Congress author
izing tbe election, to-wit:
A Governor of the State, Senators and Repre
sentatives in the General Assembly, and for
each county in the State a Clerk of the Superior
Court, Ordinary, Sheriff, Tax Collector, Tax
Receiver, Treasurer, Coroner, and Surveyor.
Also, seven members of tlie House of Rep
resentatives of the United States Congress,

of violence as above referred to, resulting in
breaches of the peace and injury to persons or
property.

PROFESSOR ROBERTS, LATE OF NEW
Orleans and Memphis/the great Magnetic
Healer, will treat all manner of Diseases and
Afflictions, not incurable, at the AUGUSTA
HOTEL, Augusta, Ga., until Slay let, 1808.
By Animal Magnetism we claim that die die
eased and deranged action of the nervous and
yacular systems are restored to a perfect equilib
rium mucli more readily than by any other means
known to the medical world, either in the present
or the past ages. ‘ Nature must do tlie healing,”
is the saying of every sensible and honest physi
cian, ana that "all we can do in case of sickness
is to aid Nature.” This Prof. Roberts aims to do
by the great science of Animal Magnetism, and
that, too, without drugs ! It isthe only system of
the medication that has God as its authority and
example, or that can be sustained by science or
common sense.
Consultation free. Letters to be answered must
be accompanied with a stamp. For testimonials
see or send ior circular.
Prof. Roberts treats successfully tlie following
named diseases, together with many other forms
of human maladies not herein specified, viz:
All diseases of tlie Brain, Rheumatism, Nervous
Debility, Neuralgia, Weak Spine, Curvature of
the Spine, Inflamed Sore Eyep. Paralysis. Weak
Eyes, Partial Bliudness, Dropsical Tumors,Ulcers,
Scrofula in its varied forms, Consumption, Dia
betes, Weakness of the Limbs, Bronchitis, Los?of
Voice, Palpitation of the Heart, Discuses of tlie
Liver, Kidneys, aud lloweis, Dyspepsia, Falling
of tlie Womb, Suppressed Menses, Catarrh, all
kinds of Sexual Diseases, Impurities of tlie Blood,
etc., etc. Paralysis and Deafness are the most
uncertain of all 'diseases to cure, although patients
afflicted even with these terrible maladies will be
more or less beuefit-ted, if not cured, by Magnetic
Treatment.

beeu attended by different medical’Doctors of this
city, without deriving auy .benefit from their treat
ment, but on the contrary, seemed to grow worse.
When Professor Roberts arrived here I was ad
vised to visit him, at the Augusta Hotel, which I
did. It required tlie assistance of three men to
take me up the stairs of the Hotel to Dr. Roberts’
rooms. I have taken tlie twelfth treatment at the
hands of the Professor, and have been so far re
lieved as to he able to use my arm as well as I ever
did, and with as much power, and can walk a con
siderable distance with ease, and find my general
health very much improved. All this I ascribe to
the power of Animal Mionktis.m, tig practiced
by Prof Roberts.

Wo are personally acquainted with Mr. Sulli

self in his condition since he has been treated by
Professor Roberts. Andrew G. LaTaste,

Augusta, Ga., March 12,1808.
I hereby certify that I have been partially para
lyzed for four years. Four mouths of that time I
usis not able to make a step, or even so much as
mow one of my toes on either foot, and was en
tirely destitute of feeling in my legs.
I was examined by forty eight Confederate
Army Surgeons, all pronouncing me incurable—
having Curvature of the Spine, which produced
paralysis. I commenced taking treatment of Pro
fessor Roberts, March 4th, 1808, and now, after
taking nine treatments, by Animal Magnetism. I
teel like a “new creature!” I can now stand up,
and walk any desired distance, without crutches
or canes, which was utterly impossible for more
than four years before seeing Dr. Roberts.
For reputation and responsibility, I refer those
interested to Mr. W. A. Ramsey. Mr. Edward
Rodgers, Mr. John M. Clark. Mr. Nicholas Young
blood. and Mr. John Houston, all of Augusta, Ga.

This certifies that I have been a great sufferer
with Rheumatism for live years, my left ankle
being much swollen, very stiff and painful. I
was treated twice only bv Dr. Roberts, at the
Augusta Hotel, February 18th and ‘2oth, 1868, and
now have not one symptom of Rheumatism or
pain in my body. All the medicine I had taken
seemed to make me worse , and I never had
any relief until I was treated magnetically. People
may lough; but I have no more rheumatic
pams -that’s so.

In June, 1867, I was residing in Memphis,
Tenu. I have been suffering from Piles for
twenty-eight years, the last eight of which I had
been almostunlitted for business of any kind,
and had no hope of a cure. A nephew of mino
had suffered fifteen years with the same complaint;
he'we/it to Philadelphia, was four months under
Dr. Pancost; submitted to an operation with tho
knife, and was finally cured, for which he paid
one thousand dollars, besides his expenses to and
from Philadelphia. I called on Professor Roberts
and received three treatments, by Animal Mag
neticism, at his hands, and was entirely cured,
and am well; yet, for which I paid twenty dol
lars. I would not to-day be placed again in the
condition you found me ten months ago, and
with as little hope of a cure as I had before your

Sudden Colds, Coughs, Fecer and Ague,
Headache, Bilious Fever, Fains in the Side,

Pkrry Davis’ Pain Killer. —We have often
spoken of this great medicine in terms of very
high praise, and wc have as often felt that all we
could say in its favor would not do it full justice.
It is one of those medicines of which wc can
speak—and speak decisively—from experience ;
for we have repeatedly taken it, and invariably
with the best results and greatest satisfaction.
We always keep it on hand, ready for an emer
gency, and wc regard it not only as one of the
very best medicines in use for various ills, bu s
as one of the cheapest, also. Its cost, by the
way—that is, (he cost of the ingredients of which
it is composed—has been considerably increased,
but the price of tho medicine has been but very
little advanced. It is not likely that the popu
larity of Davis’ Pain Killer will in any measure
decrease, or that the demand for it will in tho
slightest degree decline, until some other specific
for allaying pain and curing various complaints
for which it is so generally used, shall bo dis
covered, of equal potency with it—of which
there seems to ho but, little probability. Asa
remedy for stomach complaints, such as dysen
tery, diarrhoea, etc., the Pain Killer is, without
doubt, unsurpassed, and evory where most de
servedly in demand. One, two, or three doses,
of a tcaspoonful each, in a wine glass of milk
and wator, with a little sugar, have repeatedly,
within our knowledge, effectually cured serious
trouble of this kind. Judgment should undoubt
edly be used in checking certain stages of diar
rhoea too suddenly; but taken at the proper
time, the Pain Killer will act like a charm, and
frequently cure when nothing else will.—Provi

HIGH ENDORSEMENT FROM THE
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF PRUSSIA.
DR. R ADWAY
Is in receipt of an important official docu*
ment, signed by the Professors of the
Medical College of Breslau, Prussia,
embodying the result of an
analysis of
RADWAY’S REGULATING PILLS.
“ The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after a careful and minute examina
tion, they have the honor to state that “the
pills are” not only free from every substance
injurious to health, but are composed wholly
of substances and elements promotive of
digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system, &c.,
die. They state, further, that the injurious
rumors set ajloat by the Prussian apothe
caries originated “in a mean spirit of trade
jealousy, excited by tbe great celebrity at
tained by the PiUs within a very brief
period.”
Signed on behalf of the College,
DR. PHIL. THEOBALD WERNF.R,
Director of the Polytechnic bureau.
DR. HESSE, First Assistant,
INDIGESTION !
In cases where natural evacuations are
difficult to secure, and a quick discharge is
essential, take six of Radway’s Pills and pul
verize them, —take tlie pill powder in water
or preserves,—in half an hour they will ope
rate. We have known the most distressing
pains of Gastritis, Bilious Cholic, Inflamma
tion. Congestion, Ac., stopped, and the re
tained irritating humors expelled from the
bowels in thirty minutes by this treatment.
It is however, better in chronic cases to take
the pills as they are, and let them gradually
dissolve in tlie stomach. These Pills possess
in liw Sigliest degree cathartic, aperient,
tonic, and' diapharetic properties. They do
do not weaken or debilitate the system or
anv of its organs, and will leave the bowels
regular and healthy. They purify and equal
ize Hie circulation of the blood. No conges
tion or inflammation will occur while th#
system is under their influence. Price 26
cents per box, or 6 boxes for one dollar.
