THE
national republican,
OF AUGUSTA, GA.
SUBSCRIBE FOR IT.
The present Presidential campaign - in
volves more momentous consequences than
any previous political contest in the history
of the country. The people ot Georgia are
deeply interested in the result, and will
therefore, loot. forward to the developments
of the campaign with increasing interest.
The dissemination of reliable news, and of
sound constitutional views on the important
issues of the day are essential to the success
of the Republican party.
To supply in a measure this need, we wil
mail The National Republican fyr any
four months prior to January 1, 1869, at the
low rate of $1.50.
We appeal to the old supporters of the
Republican to aid us in extending its
circulation. We pledge ourselves to devote
all our energy and ability to the success of
the great cause in which the Union Repub
lican Party is embarked; and to spare
neither labor nor expense in making The
National Republican a useful and reliable
n ewspaper.

OUR ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1888.
Mr. Editor: Yesterday was at great day ;
a day long to be remembered in Georgia ;
a day fraught with weal or wOe to millions
of Georgian# yet unborn. To those who
accept the situation, who, believing in the
justice, humanity and clemency of a Govern
ment, which is rewarding the parricidal
ingratitude of' its pct sons, it was a great
day, a fit precursor of the scenes which
have been enacted to-day.
To-day saw the consummation of the fond
hopes of the most ardent Republican.—
Every genuine . Republican’s heart must
have swollen with honest pride as he saw
the noble standard bearer of Republicanism
in Georgia—the first fruits of the doctrine
of manhood suffrage—in presence of his
fellow-citizens, and before high Heaven,
pledge himself to . upport and defend the
Constitution of the United States, and of
the State of Georgia, from foes within and
enemies without. His inaugural was short,
terse and to the point. 1 forbear comment
as the document itself, will, by the time this
reaches you, be in the public prints, be
read by all, and the calm, sober judgment
of the people, will have approved or con
demned. Condemned ! did I say ? There is
no in it which will nqt meet a
hearty response from every true son of
Georgia.
Suffice it,to say, that all passed off hand
somely and in good order. The presence of
the military and the ladies added a zest and
interest to the occasion. The solemnity o*
the oath was deeply impressed upon every
beholder, as the venerable Judge Erskine,
in his judicial robes, pronounced, in em
phatic tones, the oath of office; and when
the dignified President of the Senate pro’
nounced the ‘ O yez, O yez, know ye, know
ye, that Rufus B. Bullock is Governor of
the State of Georgia,” the general outburst
of cheers, followed by the congratulations of
the distinguished gentlemen by whom he was
surrounded, was soon broken in upon by the
booming rd' cannon, which, in thuftder'tpnes’
reiterated the joyful news, that Georgia once
again bad a constitutional Governor.
In honor of the occasions, both Houses at
once adjourned.
There will be no session of either House
to-morrow.
The great Democratic meeting, for which
such huge preparations IniVe been making
for some lime, comes off to-morrow. The
cars ol ’every train come in loaded with
people—the streets are full of people—the
hotels are full, and the boarding houses
are overflowing with people. It behooves the
Republican party to be up and doing, for the
Democrats really seciu to be in earnest. 1
verily believe they think they can worry the
people into some enthusiasm for Seymour
and Blair, as if the verdict were not already
made up for Grant and Colfax. Stir-up the
people, then, and show tbe Democrat;, on the
4th of August next that there is another
party in Geor’ia. . Baldwin.
A
The law to prevent cattle from running in
the highway Las done some serving in ridding
the roads of the country of a great nuisance.
The expense of making and maintaining
road fences throughout tlie Stale is immense,
und even under the best management, cattle
that are allowed to. run al large, break
through into cultivated fields, doing datnags
to crops. A constant watchfulness is thus
entailed upon the farmer to protect his fields
against cattle, the owners of which take Tittle
or no interest whether damages be done or
not. As a rule, the nuisance did not come
of the poor man’s one cow, but from herds ot
young cattle belonging to rich farmers, whe
took the liberty of thus pasturing, indirectly,
ujion premises not their own.
There is another nuisance in the country
which we should be glad to gate abated ;
Dogs. The country is filled w.ith dogs, the
great majority of which arc miserable ears
of no use to the owners, while they are a
great annoyance to the public. Il is estimated
at the Department of Agriculture, that tho
annual damage done to sheep in tbe United
States by (jogs, is two millions of dollars.
We have alwaye insisted Jthut dogs are a
great injury affiong milch cows. Especially
when they are used in summer to bring the
cows from the pasture to the stable. We
have-known animals in hot wedther to be
seriously inqured iu milk by being dogged
from the pasture to the .table.
There are comparatively few instances
where dogs may be regarded as useful, or
where they add anything to the increase of
tlie farm. We believu, therefore, that a
reduction of their numbers would be of
advantage. This reduction can be best
brought about by assuming that the keep
ing of dogs is a luxury, aud imposing a
heavy tax on those indulging in it. We
should be in favor ot making a tax of $lO
per head on all dogs kept in the State, and
such a tax would be far more just and
equitable thaTf the tax imposed on many
useful artices which - the people can not
well do without.
Tho dog tax iu England is very heavy,
and it has had the effect of disposing es
this useless animal upon the farm and
among the poorer classes, the latter of
which seem to have a peculiar passion for
keeping some miserable specimen of a
cur to eat up the (bod needed in the family.
We can not but think that the agricultural
wealth of the country is greatly retarded
for want of fair and just laws in regard to
the keeping of dogs, and fho time must
come when the people will demand that
such laws be enucetd as shall protect their
property against the nuisance. We should
be glad to. see such laws enacted at once.
A <>eullc Hint,
At a concert which took place lately a
gentleman in the audience rose up just as tbe
third piece in the programme had been per
formed, and said : “Mr. Conductor, will you
oblige ine, sir, by requesting your vocalist to
sing louder, or to sing in whispers, as there
is a conversation going on near by where I
sit, that is conducted in such a loud tone as
to hindek my enjoyitient ot the music. I
prefer, certainly, to hear the concert; but if
I cannot be so privileged, J deeiro to he»r
the conversation.” There was an extremely
quiet and attentive audience in the hall
during the rest of the everting.

Southern Kallreadi,
The Secretary of War has inaugurated a
new policy regarding Southern railroads.
Many of these have been largely indebted
to tho Government for a long time on ac
count of material purchased at the dose of
the war, and most of them, though able,
have persistently neglected to make pay
ments. In all such cases it is in contem
plation to appoint government receivers to
take full possession of such roads, and con
trol and operate them until the debt is paid.
Several roads have already been taken
posession of in this manner, which is in
strict accordance with the terms of the con
tracts entered into when the government
material was purchased. Those roads
which are really unable to pay, will be as
leniently dealt with as justice to the Govern
meat will allow.

Congressional,
Washington, July 23.— Senate ; Wilson
introduced a bill (its character indicated in
the noon dispatch) for the provisional
government of Mississippi. Ordered
printed.
Howe introduced a bill additional to the
acts suppressing insurrection iu States ap
plying to those lately reconstructed, pro
viding federal assistance on application of
Governors or Legislatures created by the
Reconstruction Acts. Referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
A bill subsidizing a line- of steamers
hence to Europe passed.
The protection of Americans abroad was
r.Rumod disoußsed M recess.
Ifause After unimportant business, the
recess from Monday to the third Monday in
September was taken up.
The arming of the Southern States
monopolized the attention of the members,
and every speaker, after having ex
pressed his views briefly on the subject,
were called to order for speaking on a bill
pending when not before the House.
This movement is evidently prominent
in the mind of every member.
Garfield was unwilling to adjourn until
the party friends in the South were armed.
Washburn (recognized as Grant’s organ
in the House) said lie disapproves of the
measure on the grounds that within ten
days these arms would be in the hands of
rebels. Washburn favoring the reeess,
assured the House that the President
would sign or veto all bills pending.
The Speaker announced that the President
bad signed the Tax bill, with a protest.
Boyden, of North Carolina, protested
against sending arms there ; they were not
needed, and-would only tend to create strife
and excite passion, which, he thought, it was ,
the duty of Congress to assuage, and, it
possible, to- prevent.
Dewees, from North Carolina, made a wild
speech, appealing for arms, rising to bellig
erent language, saying, in effect, ‘‘Come on,
come on, the representatives of four millions
of people, though they had dark skins, wouH
be in the front.’’ Th'is speech created much
mirth on the floor of the House, but was
evidently deprecated by Ite Republicans. '
Finally, the Senate resolution for a reeess
was adopted, and a motion to reconsider the
vole to-morrow prevailed, which leaves the
question still open.
The House disposed of the Missouri
election case in favor of Pike, and then
adjourned.
Democratic Meet ng.
Atlanta, July 24.—The Democracy had
to day one of the most brilliant tutu outs
over known iti4jeorgia. There was a grand
mass meeting and procession. Addresses
werp made by Generals Toombs, Cobb, aud
Hon. Benjamin Hill, opposing the Recon
struction Acta as unconstitutional and hoping
for the success of Seymour and ’Blair;
pledging the South to support the Constitu
tion and Union-of the States as handed down
by our forefathers. The following was
adopted :
Resolved, That the Democracy of Georgia,
in mass meeting assembled, do hereby
heartily approve and endorse the principles
enunciated iu tbe platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention, held iu the
city of New York, July 4th, 1868, and that
to Horatio Seymour, of New York, and
Francis P. Blair, of Missouri, the iiouinees
of that Convention for the President and
Vice President, the Democracy of Georgia
wilt give a cordial and united support. ■
Washington Items-
Washington, July 22.—Before the Re
publican mueting adjourned, they passed
a resolution in favor o! impeachment, and
appointed a Committee to present <he reso
lution to the Reconstruction Committee.
A resolution regarding Mississippi was
offered, but Senator Wilson said he had a
bill prepared vacating all offices in Missis
sippi, and filling them from the persons
recently voted for who could take the test
oath. Militia commanders will be ordered’
to enforce the law without delay, and this
shall constitute Mississippi's government
until otherwise ordered.
A resolution conferring extraordinary
powers on the Virginia Convention was
adopted.
No action regarding Texas.
The feeling of the meeting is intensely
bitter.
Eggleston was present, and approved bl
Wilson’s Mississippi plan.
Louisiana Legislature,
New Orleans, July 23.—The bill appro
priating special funds in the State Treasury
to defraying the expenses of the Legisla
ture which was vetoed by tho Governor,
was passed yesterday, by both Houses, over
the veto.
Resolution calling On the Commander of
the army for military was adopted by both
Houses.
The printing bill, as finally passed, gives
the Governor, Lieut, Governor and Speaker
of the House entire control of state, muni
cipal and parochial printing, and virtually
empowers them to establish one republican
newspaper in each parish in the State
Senator .Jewell, of the Printing Commit
tee, speaking in opposition to the bill offer
ed to do the work defined for the official
journal of the State at half rates prescribed
and pay the State a bonus of $50,000 in
gold, yearly, and give bond in the sum of
SIOO,OOO.
Senator Poindexter (colored Republican)
spoke and voted against the bill on the
ground of the enormous taxation that it
would invoke.
O’Hara, another Republican, advocated
tho bill on the ground that it was to sup
port the Republican party.
When the final vote was taken the Dem
ocrats left the House.
Order from Gen. Meade.
Atlanta, July 23.—-General Meade issues
gpneral orders in substance the same as
Mstffid in regard to Florida, that tho Legisla
ture of Georgia, having complied with the
nets of Congress, the Commanding General
orders that civil officers holding by military
authority, or failure to have successors
qualified, shall yield their office aud turn
over to qualified successors, all public
property and archives, and the military must
abstain from interference or control over
civil authority. Writs of habeas corpus from
United* States courts must be respectfully'
obeyed aud their decisions conformed to.
Alabama Legislature.
Montgomery, July 23.—-The business
to-day was of a local character, except the
Senatorial election, winch resulted in 4be
choice of Millard Warner for term ending in
1871. General Warner is from Ohio, and
has been in the State since the close of the
