ULYSSES S. tiKAIT.
support row friends.
It i* very evident that the rule of pro
scription laid <lo»n l.v Hun lliu. »«> «»io
Democratic party i« to Iw rigidly carried
out. So trade with Radical* -no social
intercourse; starve them out; ignore
them in every way possible thnt is the
programme.
We arc sorry that our people neglect
to practice the same rule. They are too
apt to trade with and to recognize those
who will not trade with and recognize
them. We Support our friends, and
if. by stepping a little out ot our way, we
i an give our patronage to a Republican,
wc should take the trouble for the sake
of retaliation, if for nothing else. If w c
find men persecuted for their Republican
principles, lot us uphold them.
Wc believe any enterprising man could
do a good business in this city by estab
lishing a Republican dry goods or grocery
store, or a butcher’s stall, and sticking up
the notice, “Democrats and their money
not wanted here.”
Wc detest political proscription—wc
abhor the carrying of politics into business
or society, but wc must defend ourselves
against the persecution which is inaugu
rated against us, ami wc can only do it
bv giving all the patronage, all the offices,
all the business, which' wc can command,
to our friends. Do by others as they do
by us.
IS TIItTCONSTITUTION OF FORCE?
Wc think that questions of considerable
gravity will arise from the wording of
General Meade’s order, which wc published
in yesterday's paper. The order declares
that in consequence of the majority given
for the Constitution at the last election
“the same is hereby ratified in accordance
with the provisions of the Act of Congress
which liecamca law Mar«h 12, 1868."
It may become an important question,
one involving important rights, when did
or docs the new Constitution go into effect !
It would appear from the military order
that its ratification by the people, and the
official announcement of the fact by the mil
itary authorities, were all that were neces
sary to give the Constitution vitality, so far
as the people of Georgia were concerned :
but that may be a subject of doubt, and it
may l>ccomc a question whether the ratifi
cation by Congress is necessary to give it
force and effect in the State. The other
item of the terms of reconstruction—the
adoption of the Constitutional Amendment
—has nothing to do with the validitv of
Constitution ; it is merely a condition pre
cedent to the restoration of the right of
representation in Congress.
Let us state the difficulty and tiie ques
tion in another form: is the new Constitu
tion valid ami landing upon the people of
Georgia from the time of the official decla
ration of its ratification by t lie people, or
not until it is accepted by Congress ' If
the first position is the true one, the Con
stitution is now the fundamental law of the
State, and its requirements are obligatory
upon the people and upon all officers elected
under it.
Wo foresee many ami ini|>ot'tant ilifficul
ties which will l>e certain t<> arise from tliis
question, and it should be authoritatively
decided at once. A period of uncertainty
a. to the validity of the Constitution will
l>c prolific in legal questions, and occasion
much trouble a> well as expense to tin?
people. Perhaps a declaration by the
Legislature ot the date when the Constitu
tion went into etfect may be sufficient, Imt
it is plain that a decision,from sonic authori
ty. is very necessary.
DEATH OF LOUD UJiOUOIL'. M.
The death of Lord 15roughaui, which
occurred at his country seat, Louise Eleo
note, near Cannes. France, on Saturday,
the 9th, signals the departure of a man
who, for three generations, has ranked
among the eminent citizens of the British
Empire, lie was born in 1778, at Edinr
burgh. At the age of eighteen, he wrote
a paper “on the refraction and reflection
of light,” which was published among
the transactions of the ltoyal Society. lie
became, in 1800, a member of the Edin
burgh Society of Advocates. He helped
start the Edinburgh IFricir in 1802. and
for twenty five years was a constant con
tributor to its pages, lie was called to
the English bar at London in 1808, and
entered Parliament in 1810. In 1820, lie
bernme Lord Chancellor under the minis
try of Karl Okkv, and with the dissolu
tion of this ministry in 1884. lie retired
from official life.
Lord Brougham was a man of wonder,
ful powers of lowly as of mind, and the
stories told of his feats of physical endur
ance rival in marvelousncss the well au
thenticated records, of his intellectual
achievements. Among the scientific men
England he maintains a proud position.
As an advocate he probably never met his
peer. Asa statesman his name is indisso
lubly linked with all tin 1 grand reforms
which have to a remarkable extent changed
the institutions of England within the
present century. As an orator he lots won
a foremost place, some of his best efforts
ranking among the classics of English
literature, and in the field of pure litera
ture he leaves a name not soon to be
forgotten.

advantage ol the provision* of the !*• &
Bankrupt Act:
AcuisT*, May 12th, 1868.
A. G. Fosticz. Register in Bankruptcy:
Mv Dkau Sir—As the time will soon
expire whon parties who wuh to nvatl them
selves of the benefit of the Bankrupt Act,
without having to par fifty cents on the
dollar on the amount of ibeir indebtedness,
will you, for their intorination, ho good
enough to state the sum, in cash, to he
deposited with the Clerk before their cases
can be entered, and any oilier particular
bearing on the subject, which you may
regard as being important lor them to know,
And oblige your friend,

OUiec No. 5, Griffin Building,
Entrance on Kllis street.
Auuusta, Ga., May 12ilt, 1868.
My Dear Colonel: Yours of this date has
been received. In reply to your inquiries,
l can only state : Persons availing them
selves of the benefits of the Bankrupt Act
are required to tarnish the necessary binds
lo defray the espouses as provided for by
the Act. These expenses vary in amount
according to the circumstances attending
each particular case, the average of which,
as far ns 1 have observed, in getting the
ease under way up to the first meeting ol
creditors and the appointment of nn as
signee, is about seventy five dollars. This
sum consists of the fifty dollars required to
be deposited with the Clerk under the Rule
of Court, together with the lees of the Clerk
and Marshal for the services to be rendered
by them, which, under the law, they require
paid ia advance. The exact sum necessary
to pay these expenses depends upon the
extent of the labor to be performed by these
officers, and varies in amount as the labor
to be performed varies. After the assignee
is appointed, if no nsscls eoine to his hands,
or ii the assets be insufficient to defray the
expenses necessary to the completion of his
duties, these expenses will be also required
from the In reference to the
action ol Congress as to the amendment
or change of the law, no opinion can be
worth anything; and would suggest that
any party interested can certainly lose
nothing by an immediate application for its
benefits of the law in its present form.
Yours, most respectlully,
A. G. Foster.

A Fertilizer ntosi the South—Wealth
uiiom tiik Palmetto State. —Yesterday,
two vessels arrived at Phillips’ Chemical
Works in Camden, laden with phosphates,
brought from the hanks of the Ashley
River, near Charleston, South Carolina.
The news of th ese i.ovcl arrivals soon spread
throughout Camden, and the phosphate
ships were besieged by a crowd eager to
see what South Carolina hud to send to
New Jersey. Visitors were permitted to
examine the cargoes, and a number of
sharks’ teeth and petrified verlchric of
marine monsters were found in the phos
phates. These curiosities were highly
prized hy their lucky finders. Hut there is
hidden in this South Carolina phosphate
something Inr more valuable than the re
mains of the finny inhabitants of the great
deep. A careful and thorough analysis liy
competent chemists has revealed the impor
tant fact that this phosphate contains prop
erties superior to those of all similar agents
known, and fully equal to the best guano.
This important discovery is verified beyond
peradvent use, and arrangements have been
made to bring full supplies of the phosphate
wherever it may he needed.
A revolution in agriculture is at hand,
file phosphate fields ol the Ashley liver are
very extensive, indeed, almost inexhaustible.
Thev aro in the hands of a number of prom
inent Philadelphians, who have invested
largely and judiciously in good and appro
priate' machinery, manufactured in this
State, for the purpose to which it is now
applied. With the aid of these apjdieaneics,
from three to five hundred ton ot thu'phos
phate can he excavated each day. Ihe vast
beds of this material are contiguous to
navigable water, and the previous earth can
he readily and economically shipped. There
is hut one other deposit of phosphate similar
to this of the Ashley river known to exist in
the world, and this is in the North of Eng
land, where it is found in what is technically
known to ininets as a “pocket.” This iin
portant discovery and its practical develop
ment will work untold good to the South, us
well ns benefit to the agricultural interest of
the North, East, and wAVest. Thu sunny
South is nearest to this restorer of weakened
arable lands, and her wide but billow fields
can easily be made to blossom as the rose,
by means of the phosphate, found in such
abundance near the city ol Charleston.—

THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.
A special cable dispatch from London
give* Sir Robert Napier’s report of tho
movements of the British army since tho
capture of Mugdala.
When the forces took possession they
immediately destroyed thirty large guns
and _ mortars. The gates end loopholcd
bastions were mined and blown up. The
towns and tho interior fortified points were
fired, and every building used as u dwelling
in the place, including the Royal Palace,
was burned. Tho church was spared. The
work of the Razzia was completed on tho
17th of April,
The widow of King Theodoras, and her
sow, were protected by General Napier and
escorted from bis camp to the Ttgrc
country. Having discharged hi* duty,
General Napier mustered his army us if on
parade, tho command “ 'bout face—march,”
was given, and the troops loft Magdala on
the 18th of April on their route in return
to the Red Sea coast.
Napier hoped to reach Zooulla by the last
day ot May, from which point the road is
comparatively easy lo Senafe and Ahncslcy
Bay. The wounded men are doing well;
most of them lire convalescent, aud the army
trains are kept well up.
Theodoras w.is buried in the church at
Magdala, official respect being shown to his
remains.
I’he young Prince Theodoras will be con
voyed to England and educated there.
Gabbaize, the friendly Chief who aided
the Queen’s army in its march through Tigrc,
will be duly crowned King of Abyssinia,
thus introducing anew dynasty.
The report conveys a very graphic picture
of the great battle which took p ace on the
10th of April, previous to the storming of
Magdala. Tho Abyssinians stood forth in
grand array. Theodoras opened at once
with his mortars. The British replied with
the same description ol guns.
Tiie fire from the defenses having been
endured for a short time, 3,500 warriors,
setting up loud shouts of joy and revenge
and chanting national songs of triumph
dashed with great ardor down tho sleep hill,
from the Palace Fortress, and charged the
British light batteries gallantly.
Napier’s men stood firm, and the Aliys*
sinians were repulsed, having 700 warriors,
including two prominent chiefs, killed during
the engagement. Tho tactics of Theodoras’
officers were judicious, nml the courage
displayed by his soldiers was excellent.
Aware ol his heavy loss, Theodoras for
warded n (lag of truce, inquiring on what
t rim the English would negotiate a peace.
Gen. Napier replied that, speaking in the
name ol the Queen, his terms were merely
and strictly an unconditional surrender.
Theodoras, through his envoy, immedi
ately said he would never accept such
arbitrary terms as that. Seeing, even, his
present defeat, he would fight to the end.
In conclusion the King requested General
Napier to take the British captives, whom
he would hand over tn him, and go away
hence.
When they had all been released, the
King refused positively a surrender of
himself, and the conference was broken off.
Magdala was consequently stormed by the
English a few days afterward.
During the latest moments of the lighting,
after the British assault, and when driven
to his last stand-point, Theodorus attempted
suicide on three separate occasions. He
was rendered perfectly furious by his
defeats. The released captives say that
they saw three hundred native prisoners
killed by the King's order on the 9th of
April.
Sad Calamity.—The Savannah Republi
can has the following distressing facts:
1 he schooner Walton sailed Irani Portland.
Me., on tho 26th of April last—had fine
weather generally during the voyage. At
eleven o’clock, on the night of the Ist inst.,
the captain, John J. Call, was missing from
the deck, and was supposed to have been
knocked overboard by the jibing of the
for.-homi. Efforts were at once made to
lower the small boat for the purpose of
searching for the captain the vessel being
immediately hove to and put on the other
io k. Two.seamen, Gnnrge Morton mid Fred
Gray, unfastened the bout. The moon was
up and the wind was blowing moderately,
the schooner only making six knots. In
lowering the boat the port davit was carried
away, and she filled half full of water. The
cries of the captain being heard some dis
tance astern, Morton and Gray rushed into
the boat and put off in the direction where
the captain was swimming. Lay to the
balance of the night and the following fore
noon, hut nothing was heard from the float
or the captain, and all are suppos and to have
been lost.
Captain Call was a native of Dresden, Me.,
and was about thirty five years of ag<—he
leaves a wife and child. Georje Morion
belonged to the same place; was about
eighteen years of ago. Fred Gray resided in
Bath, Me., and was about the same age.
How Got.ti Pens are Made. —Gold pens
arc lipped with iridium, making what are
commonly known as diamond points. The
iridium for this purpose is found in small
grains in planlinum, slightly alloyed with this
latter metal. Tn this form it is exceedingly
hard, and well adapted to the purpose of the
gold pen maker. The gold for pens is
alloyed with silver to about sixteen carats
fineness, rolled into thin strips, from which
the blanks aro struck. The underside ol the
point is notched by a small circular saw, to
receive the iridium point which is selected
with the aid of a microscope. A flux of
borax and a blow pipe secure it t,i its place.
The point is then ground on a copper wheel
with emery. The pen blank is then rolled to
the requisite thinness by means of the rollers
especially adapted to the purpose, and
tempered hy blows from a hammer, it is
then trimmed around the edges, stamped,
and formed in a powerful press. The slit is
mxt cut through the solid iridium point by
means of a thin copper wheel, fed with fine
emery, and a saw extends the aperture along
the pen itself. The inside edges of the slit
ay; smoothed and polished by the same
means of rapidly running wheels and emery,
and burnishing and hammering, to produce
the proper degree of elasticity, and finish
the work.— Sdenlific American.

IN MEMORIAM.
Drowned, on the sth inslant, wbilrt bathing iu
the river, FRANCIS, youngest son «f Jauks B.
and Maku L. Wii. ov, aged eight years, six
months and 29 days.
The destroyer came, as ho often dooj, without
warning. Little Frank left tho house about
half-post 1 o'clock, in perfect health, enticed by
a playmate to go to tho river to bathe; and
within one hour was brought back to his rad
parents —a corpse. *
Os cheetful temperament, kind and affection
ate disposition, bright with youthful intelligence,
ho was the prido and j.y of his home. How
hard to say, “Thy will be done.”
Sweet child, wo know thou art no more,
And gone with many a tear ;
For thou a favorite wa.it, indeed,
With all who knew tbeo here.
Rut yesterday tSiine eyes were bright
As rays that fringe tho early cloud ;
Now closed to life, to love and light,
Wrapped iu the winding sheet and shroud.
Tho light is from our household gone,
Tho voice wo loved is stilled;
A place is vacant 'round our hearth,
Which never can be filled.
A FRIEND.
