If they will do this, they will be held in grateful remembrance bv their sensitive fellow citizens whose nights are rendered sleepless by the incessant growlings of these worthless curs- * —, ♦ . A Hiul, Before the constituted authorities make another inspection of the “sinks,’' which in many quarters are very offensive, it is suggested that one pound of copperas and sulphate of iron, dissolved in one gallon of cold water (or, if the place be large, two pounds to two gallons of water), thrown in the sink, will purify or dispel all the effluvia in a few hours. And if this is repeated every few weeks, all unpleasant smells will be entirely dissipated from such sources. The remedy is cheap, and said to he effective. Holfl Your Horses. There are too many drivers who are lashing their horse3 into full speed during this very warm weather. Such drivers ought not to be entrusted with the manage uwntof horses. Many of these brutes, more | human than their drivers, fall to the ground, *hile making the most arduous exertions to tag along their vehicles. A little common sense ought to be exercised in this manner, j Ol the horses and drivers should be com pelled to change places for a few days, *hicb, we opine, would regulate the matter.

D«MB«r«n« UoMtuihiu. Counterfeit SIOO national bank notes nro in circulation. They are exceedingly woll executed, and will doceivo the majority of persons into whoso bands they fall. Tbo engraving is very fino, and the printing as perfect as it could bo done. These notes arc on tho Central National Bank of Now Vork, and on tho Ohio Nationul Bank of Cincinnati. Twenty dollar bills, altered from fives on lbs First National Bank of Boston, arc also in circulation. nm Chciip B‘ure«. Georgia has done much for tho railroads in our State, and wo think it is high tirao that tho railway companies should do something for the peoplo of Georgia. The rates of travel, on all our railways, are out of all proportion—they are exor bitant. Just think of it: if a man in our city has the occasion or inclination to visit Atlanta (less than one hundred and eighty miles distant), tho trip by rail thence and return, at present rate, will cost him seventeen dollars .' It seenrs clear to our mind that this high priced fare is short-sighted policy, for innumerable reasons obvious to the com prehension of even casual observers. And we venture tho assertion, that if tho fare alluded to above—simply by way of illus tration—were reduced say one half, the railway management would bo the gainer thereby. Wo all know with what avidity “excursion” tickets at a fair price arc purchased, when issued by any of our railroad companies—and wo have yet to learn of loss sustained in consequence by the road. Our people, generally, stay at home too much—not from choico, but from ncccssity i the necessity imposed by tho current rates of travel. Many families, for instance, in our city, would like to visit friends in Atlanta, and vice versa, if the cost of travel were reasonable, or even what it was in aide bcllum times. We may recur to this subject again. * The I-'asliioiia. The spring and summer toilettes are really quite charming this year. The mania for gold ornaments and 'tinsel, glass beads and false glitter, is on tho wane. Bad taste, like all vulgar things, soon fails, and we notico with pleasure a reaction in favor of greater simplicity of dress. Dresses and paletots aro fasbionod of the same material, and the trimmings, for those who love a toilet recherche, aro composed of either puffings or flounces, likewise of the same tissue as the dress wrapping. Some times the skirt of light brown, or lilac, or a shot silk, is covered with a peplum of black silk. The skirt is decorated at tho bottom with a narrow flounce, and the peplum trimmed all around the edges and sleeves with a narrow black flounce. A wide ribbon belt, with fringed ends of the same color on the garment, is always worn. The chapeau, although not increased in size, has gained in becomingness. The addition of the manlillc in Spanish, or Chantilly lace, adds grace to the coiffure . conceals the ravages of time when the face has lost its first bloom, and adds a charm to the beauty of eighteen summers. * A Word to Sign Painters, A few hints to those “men of letters,” our sign painters, may not come amiss. While the execution of many of our business signs, so far as lettering is concerned, compares favorably with that of those in any of our sister cities, we regret that there is so much need of improvement in the use of points and in the pluralization of nouns. It is quite common to perceive the Chris tian name of the proprietor of a store separated from his surname by a comma or by a period. This is incorrect. No punctuation is allowable except at the termination, and then a period should he used, unless there be a doable line on the sign. When that double line is introduced to designate the character or kind of the business, a comma is the point which should be introduced after the surname of the individual, and the second lino should be elosed with a picriod. Signs frequently read “grocery and pro duce.” Thu storekeeper means that ho lias groceries and produce for sale, lie does not contemplate selling (hegrocery, which moans the store wherein he places his goods for dis posal to his customers. Wc frequently per ceive upon signs, “Lumber, blinds, sash.” The last mentioned word should be in the plu ral, sashes. So of the word “harness” when combined with “saddles.” The latter word is in the plural, and the letters cs should be added to harness, so as to put both words in the plural. Will our sign painters reflect upon these matters, so that our signs may be in accordance with correct orthography and punctuation ? Swindling Schemes. There is a large number of persons in our greater cities who live by cheating their more honest fellow-citizens. The greenhorns in the country are their particular victims, whom they pluek most remorselessly. Mayor Hoffman, of New York, is daily in receipt of a large number of letters from persons who have been taken in by the contrivors of some captivating scheme to enrich the fools who embrace it. The most of these are bare-faced frauds. They do not have the grain of common sense that was contained in the advice of one of these swindlers, who promised to give, for a dollar, a rule which would insure a fortune to the persons who followed it. lie advised those who applied for the “golden rule,” to “work like the devil and not spend a cent.” Now, will not people learn that no man will give them a great prize of any kind for a small price ? In the nature of things it can not be done. What ever is done, the prize has been paid for by the money filched from other people’s purses by some process that sound morality would not sanction. People in the country will not find benefactors in the city, who advertise their willingness to do the verdant folks a great favor. Don't be captivated by the glittering baubles which are swung before your eyes in the columus of a city paper or a mailed circular. The nearer you get to them, the less valuable they appear. In one word, don’t be a fool. * l WOULD NOT LIVE ALWAY. IJ : I would nut live ulway; the oonflicU of life No weary my soul, I would reel from the strife; Midst scenes of contention no longer would rove; The hone pf my heart is the dwelling of lore. Here sorrows oppress ine; while friend after friend Has coased the sweet sid of nffeotlon to tend. O Death, they are thine ! mid I turn from their tomb; But luue is my soul in thy shadow o( gloom. 1 would noUive alwayk lilts earth osunot givo A rest for the spirit that evar mutt Too gross are its pleasures, too feeble its fires To furnish repast for immortal desires. Far, far o’er the limits of earth and of time, In infinite Impo, looks the spirit sublimo ; And rapt with the wonders tho vision reveals, Would fly for the glory whose earnest it fools. Children’ll Concerts. Especial efforts are being mode by churches in olher cities for tho entertainment of Sabbath School children on week days. We do uot pay sufficient attention to the little people. It is urged that it is all very well to teaqb children from the Word of God on one day ot the week,- and this is all the large majority arc taught. The question then is, can they not be led out of the wrong way into the right by placing before them, for their especial enjoy ment, an excellent class of amusements, real amu ements, none of that character which savor of long lec tures and prosy speeches by men in whom the milk of human kindness has long since dried and blown away in dust. Much attention is being given in some other localities of teaching Sabbath School child ren to sing and then appear in classes before their friends and members of the school. Such concerts arc said to exert the best influence, especially upon hoys. It assists in carrying them over that critical period in life when bashfulness and deviltry strive for the ascendancy. The restraint and discipline of music, and, above all, the placing of a boy in a responsible position where ho is expected to maintain himself creditably, lessens his natural awkwardness and cultivates ami refines his disposition. * -—~ -♦♦♦ ——— Tire War of ilioSkirls. There arc two camps in the world of Fashion-the fair belligerents contending over the very important question whether Long Skirts or Short Skirts shall carry the day. Lcs jupes courtes, or le baldes conrlcs jupcs— go it, ladios! Couldn’t a compromise be effected? Let the Shorts prevail for street wear, aud the Trains come in for home and evening costume. * A Card, A report is in circulation that I made an unsuccessful application to W. 11. Goodrich, Esq., to become surety on my bond as tho Sheriff elect of Richmond county. If is a falsehood. The Pillowing lines from Mr. Goodrich give the lie direct lo the contemptible falsi fier, whoever he may he—and he is hereby branded as such. A. G. RUFFIN. Augusta, June 20, 18G8- Mr. A. G.

Washington, June 20.—1n his veto message of the Arkansas Admission bill, the President says: The approval of this bill would be an admission that tho act for the moro efficient government of tho rebel States, and acts supplementary thereto, were proper and constitutional; whereas, the President’s opinion is unchanged in this respect, hut rather strengthened by results attending their execution, If Arkansas is not u State, this bill does not admit her ; if she is a State, no legislation is necessary to her representation in Congress. Each House, under the Constitution, judges the election returns and qualifications of its members, and nothing is necessary to restore Arkan sas hut a decision by each House of tho eligibility of those presenting credentials. This is a plain and eimplo plan of tho Constitution, had it been adopted in 18G5 instead of legislation of doubtful constitu tionality, and therefore unwise and dan gerous, long since have been accomplished. The President again recommends the adoption ol the Constitutional plan. The terms proposed ure scarcely applicable to a Territory, and certainly not to a State which has had an accepted place in the Union for over a quarter ol a century. Tho President is unable to find authority lor the conditions of the bill in the Federal Constitution. The elective franchise is reserved by tho Const! tutiou to the States themselves The bill fails to provide how Arkansas shall signify its acceptance ol the fundamental conditions, nor docs it prescribe penalties for their nullification. It is seriously questioned whether the Constitution has been ratified according to law, and it assumed to he in force before its adoption. The Arkansas Constitution restricted franchise on its ratification by tests unknown in the Reconstruction Acts. Among them is tho acceptance of political and civil rights of all men. It is well known that a largo portion, if not a largo majority of the electors, do not accept this test, and if applied to voters North there is reason to believe many of them would remain away from the polls rather than to comply with its degrading conditions. The President concludes : Should the people ol Arkansas, therefore, desiring to regulate tho elective franchise so as to make it conform to the Constitution of a large proportion of the States ol the North and West, modify the provisions referred to iu the fundamental condition, what is to be the consequence? Is it intended that a denial of representation shall follow?—and if so, may we not dread, at some tuturc day, a recurrence ol the troubles which have so long agitated the country ? Would it not be the part of wisdom to take for our guide the Federal Constitution rather than resort to measures which, looking only to the present, may in a few years renew, iu an aggravated form, the strife aud bitterness caused by legislation which has proved to be ill-timed and unfortunate. Congressional. Washington, June 20. — House: Tho House was occupied with unimportant mat ters until the veto of the Arkansas hill, which passed 110 to 31, the veto notwith standing.
