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.

They now say that if you do 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. Foster Blodgett, J. R. Parrott. 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. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL NOMI NA TING CON VENI’IONs Tlie undersigned, constituting the National Committee itesignated by the Convention held at Baltimore on the 7th of June, 1804, do appoint that a National Convention of the Union Republican party be held at the city of Chicago, 111., on Wednesday, the 20th day of May next, at 12 o’clock m., for the purpose of nominating candidates for the offices of' President and Vice President of the United States. Each State in the United States is authorized to be represented in said Convention by the number of delegates equal to twice the number of Senators and Repre sentatives to which each State is entitled in the National Congress. Wc invite the cooperation of all citizens who rejoice that oar great civil war has happily terminated in the discomfiture of the rebellion ; who would hold fast the unity and integrity of the Republic, and maintain its paramount right to defend to the utmost its own existence, whether im periled by secret conspiracy or grined force ; of all friends of an economical ad ministration of tlie public expenditure, of the completo extirpation of the principles and policy of slavery, and of the speedy reorganization of those States whose Gov ernments wero destroyed by the Rebellion, and their permanent restoration to their proper practical relations with the United States in accordance with the true princi ples of republican government.

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.

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.

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. Auousta.Ga., April Uth, 1808. This is to certify that I have been paralyzed in both my legs and left arm since July, 1860. I have 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. Signed. Michael, Sullivan. Wo are personally acquainted with Mr. Sulli van, and can vouch for the truth of the above statement. We have observed from time to time, the decided improvement which has manifested it self in his condition since he has been treated by Professor Roberts. Andrew G. LaTaste, J. D. O’Connell, Joseph B.

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 is to certify that I have been treated by Prof. Roberts for a dropsical tumor in the left side, with which I have been afflicted for the last seven years, and am confident that I am entirely cured, not having experienced any of the unpleasant symptoms wlii'-S I did before the treatment, and this by animal magnetism.

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.

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 threo treatments, for twenty thousand dollars.

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 dence Advertiser. by nil Medicine Dealers. > mb ll—2m Horse Power AND THRESHING MACHINES!

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. mu-1 —ry.
