This cry comes from hungry, disappointed office seek ers, who, whenever it suits their purpose, put forth carpet baggers for office (sec their congressional candidate for the Ist district). It comes from those who have no power, wisdom or patriotism, and never will have cither. If we arc true to ourselves, our State is safe.

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 the whole people of our great State, with whom my lot has been so long and so pleasantly east, 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 tiie late Con vention is before you. It was my privilege 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 framedjit. My votes are recorded upon all its various branches, and it is therefore unnecessary for me to enter into any state ment of 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 votes to assume the exalted position of your Chief Executive, it will be my duty, and no less 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 thh perpe tuity of free, civil government throughout the land, I have the honor to be your fellow citizen, R.

Whereas, The Constitutional Convention of the State of Georgia, recently in session in this city, did, ou the 10th day of March, 1868, adopt an Ordinance entitled: “An Ordinance lo provide for the election of civil officers," which Ordinance, among ot her things, provides: “That an election he hold, beginning on the twentieth day of April, 1808, (at sued places as may be designated by the Commanding Gen eral of the District) for voting on the ratifica tion of tho Constitution, for the election of Governor, members of the General Assem bly, Representatives to the Congress of the United States, and all other officers to he elected as provided in this Constitution, and said election to be kept open from day to day at the discretion of flic Gcuergl commanding. “At said election on the ratification of tlio Constitution, and for Governor, Members of Congress, Members of the General Assembly, and for all other civil officers, the qualifications for voters shall be the same as prescribed by the Act of Congress, known as the Sherman bill, for voters at the election on the ratifica tion of tlio Constitution, aud at all elections under the Provisional Government.

As by the provisions of said Ordinance the Commanding General is requested localise certificates of election to be issued to those per sons who may be elected to said offices, and that he may not be called upon to cause certifi cates of election to be issued to persons ineligi ble to hold office, lie calls the attention of all concerned to the provisions of Sec. :! of the amendment to the Constitution of the United States, proposed by Congress and designated as the 14th Article, which section lie deems, un der tho reconstruction acts, applicable to the election of officers provided for by said Ord inance, and is as follows: “Sec.

But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove sucli disability.” Attention is also called to the Clh section of the Supplementary Reconstruction Act of Con gress, which passed July l'Jtli, 1867, iu which it is declared that “tlio 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.

PROFESSOR ROBERTS, LATE OF NEW Orleans and Memphis, tlio great Magnetic Healsr, will treat all maimer of Diseases aud Afflictions, not incnrable, at tiie AUGUSTA HOTEL, Augusta, Ga., until May Ist, 1868. By Animal Magnetism we claim that tiie dis eased aud deranged action of the nervous and vacular systems are restored to a perfect equilib rium much more readily than by any other means known to tiie medical world, either in the present or the past ages. ‘ Nature must do the healing •’ is the saving of every sensible and honest physi cian, and 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 is the only system of the medication that bus God as its authority and example, or that can be Bustaincd by science or common sense. Consultation tree. Letters to be answered must be accompanied with a stamp. For testimonials see or send lor circular. Prof. Roberts treats successfully the following named diseases, together with many other forms of human maladies not herein specified, viz : All diseases of the Brain, Rheumatism, Nervous Debility, Neuralgia, Weak Spine, Curvature of the Spine, Inflamed Sore Eyes, Paralysis. Weak Eyes, Partial Blindness, Dropsical Tumors,Ulcers, Scrofula in its varied forms, Consumption, Dia betes, Weakness of the Limbs, Bronchitis, Lossof Voice, Palpitation of the Heart, Diseases of tho Liver, Kidneys, aud Bowels, Dyspepsia, Falling ot the Womb, Suppressed Menses, Catarrh, all kinds ot Sexual Diseases, Impurities of the 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 benefitted, if Hot cured, by Magnetic Treatment..

Pkkry Davis’ Pain Killer. —We have often spoken of this great medicine in terms of very high praiso, and we have as often felt that all wo could say in its favor would not do it full justice. It is one of those medicines of which we can speak—and speak decisively—from experience ; for we have repeatedly taken it, aDd invariably with tkc best results and greatest satisfaction. Wo always keep it on hand, ready for an emer gency, and wo regard it not only as one of the very best medicines in use for various ills, but as oue of the cheapest, also. Its cost, by tho way—that is, the cost ol 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 the slightest degree decline, until some other speeifio for allaying pain and curing various complaints for which it is so generally used, shall be dis covered, of equal potency with it—of which there seems to be but little probability. Asa remedy for stomach complaints, such as dysen tery, diarrhoea, etc , the Pain Killer is, without doubt, unsurpassed, aud every where most do servedly in demand. One, two, or three doses, of a teaspoonful each, in a wine glass of milk and water, 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, tho Pain Killer will act like a charm, and frequently cure when nothing else will.— Provi dence Advertiser. by all Medicine Dealers. mb!

For forty years I have been afflicted with coativencss, and for tho last twenty was com pelled daily to resort to injections to secure an evacuation. In December last I com menced tho use of Radway’s Pills. After taking a few doses, my liver, stomach, and bowels were restored to their natural strength and duties.

RAD WA Y la iu 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 HAD WAY’S REGULATING PULS. “ The Faculty of the College state in their report that after a careful and minute examiner tiou , they have the honor to state that “the jiibs 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., &c. They state, further, that the injuriou* rumors set afloat by the Prussian apothe caries originated “in a mean spirit of trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity at tained‘by the Pills within a very brief period.” Signed on behalf of the College, DB. PHIL. THEOBALD WERNER, Director of the Polytechnic Bureau, DR. HESSE, Vint Auitimt. 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 the 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, &c., 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 the stomach. These Pills possess in Hie highest degree cathartic, aperiont, tonic, and diapharetic properties. They do do not weaken or debilitate the system or any of its organs, and will leave tho bowels regular and healthy. They purify and equal ize tho circulation of the blood. No conges tion or inflammation will occur while ths system is under their influence. Price 25 cents per box, or 5 boxes for one dollar. mh4—ly.
