Look out, gentlemen. only Twe Magistrates Acting. There are at present only two Justices of the Peace acting in this city, viz.: Justices Phinizy and Reynolds. Justice V. I Kerr continues confined to h.i's room, and it is feared will not recover. , To be Announced 'To-Day. The counsel for the State, and also for the defence, in the Bud affair, 'closed their arguments yesterday. Justices Puikizy and Reynolds reserved their decision until five o’clock this afternoon. The Kights of Newsboys. Have the newsboys of Augusta no rights? Complaints arc constantly made of inter ference by parlies about the different depots, with those industrious little trades men. So far as the boys peddling this paper are concerned, we intend to protect them in the future. Scathing- Speech. A gentleman informs the Charleston News that the recent meeting of Stock holders of the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad Company was very exciting, and that our fellow citizen, Hon. John P. King, “made a scathing speech, in which ho denounced the old Directors, and asserted that they had spent $3,000,000, of which they had given no satisfactory account.” Charleston was not allowed th vote her stock. Accident. At noon, yesterday, in that portion of the city known as ‘Dublin.’ Joseph Reynolds was examining a pistol in his room, when his little sister Sallie, seven years of age, ran in for her bonnet, to carry dinner to her father. The pistol fell, exploding, and the ball entered Sallie's left side, passed through her body, coming out under hor right arm. The wound, though painful, is not considered mortal. Fainter & Finch. We would direct attention to the card of Messrs. Painter & Finch, builders and contractors, and manufacturers of sashes, blinds and doors, whose hum of industry tray be heard daily in the Newton House building, Washington street.

Every one knows what Putnam’s Monthly is. Contrast of Colors. The following is a good rule for finding the contrast of any color: Cut out a circular piece of the petal of any flower and put it on white paper: look at it fixedly for a few seconds with one eye, then look off the color on to a piece of white phper, and you will see a bright ring of another color ; that ring or circle is the right complementary color or contrast to the color in the petal. —• ♦ • A “Sor*sls.” The ladies of some of the Eastern cities have established a “Sorosis,” and many members are being initiated into the mys. teries of the order. The Sorors meet weekly at different houses, drink tea, of course, and talk, most assuredly so! They go home happy in the consciousness that they are enjoying the right to do just as men do. It is said they are very independent, and wi!| not let their husbands or sweethearts £ive them protection home. Bed Buga. This is the Connecticut remedy for bed bugs: Shake them all down into the middle of the sheet and put a piece of ice among them. Pretty soon you will see the little fellows getting up on tjieir hind legs and beginning to thrash themselves to keep warm. After that you need not be afraid of their biting, but may go to bed and sleep secure from their attacks the rest of the night. - Looping-Up Dresses. The way of looping up dresses varies. You can, for instance, form folds at the sides and lifchind, if you have a short dress ora tunic, or at the sides only, if intended for a cassock open in front. On these plaits yon fasten a knot of the same material as the skirt, and you have what is called a sarmago costume. Other dresses are looped up below the waist, behind, by buttons and small buckles; hut the dress which has to be looped up that way must not be very wide ; the front is flat, the dress becomes gradually fuller at the sides, and concen trates its whole volume at the back. A bashful young man who was afraid to propose .to his sweetheart, induced her to fire at him with a pistol, which, he assured her, was loaded only with powder, and after she hud done so, fell down and pre tended to be dead. She threw herself wildly upon his body, calling him her uarhng and her beloved, whereupon he got I U P and married her. The Georgia Legislature. r 17,186a,- ’■ Mr. SmHh, of the 36th, stutwl that the resolution, as offered by Mr. Candler, in regard to compelling the attendance of members, should not appear upon the Journal. Mr. Campbell, iutvipg the fluor, rose and moved to lay the question of reconsideration in the Bradley case on the table without further debate, which was agreed to, and so ends this vexed question. A memorial from the City Council of Milledgeville iu fcfereope to the Capitol was read. t Mr. Ilolconibc moved to refer tfic'same to the Committee on the State of the Re public. Mr. Griffin, of the 21st, moved to refer it to a select committee of five. Mr. Harris wished For the memorial to receive a careful and respectful considera tion. It was due the citizens of Milledgeville, and he was in favor of referring it to a select committee. Mr. Speer favored the motion of Mr. Smith, and if the people of Atlanta do not come up to their contract, aud better accommodations be furnished us, although ho voted for the Capital to cpme here, he would vote for the Capital to go bqek.Ri the city of Milledgeville. Mr. Hungerford stated tlrnt tho City Council would fulfil the contract, and although he might be in favor of Milledge ville himself, yet it was due for the'sake of courtesy to wait on the city authorities of Atlanta. Mr. Winn said the city intended to fulfil the contract, and he moved to lay the memo rial on the table, which motion was lost. Mr. Holcombe said he had no idea that the people of Georgia desired the Capital to go back to Milledgeville. In order to do this, we would have to change the Constitution. He saw, therefore, no reason why this should be referred to a select committee. Mr. Griffin, of the 21st, hoped bis people in his section would hove a hearing. The gentleman last on the floor wished the Capital here because it was nearer to him, and his people wanted it to remain there, lienee he spoke in behalf of the constituency he rep resents, besides a largo portion of the people of Southwestern Georgia desired the Capital to be at Milledgeville. He hoped, therefore, that the memorial would be referred to a special committee. Mr. Welborn favored the motion to refer. Mr. Hinton, with the memorial beforediim, spoke in favor of the points contained in it. alluding to the action of the Convention, also to the locality of Milledgeville being more central. Railroad facilities were alluded to, besides the useless expenditure of money to be taken from the pockets of an over taxed people. The memorial was referred to a special committee. By Mr. Coleman—A fiill to incorporate the Turtle and Screven Railroad Company. By Mr. Brutton—A bill to incorporate the Marshall Hose Company of Savannah ; also, a bill to amend the 148‘Jth paragraph of the Code, and to allow sureties on administrators’ bonds to make returns in certain cases; also, a bill to fix the com pensation for the taking down in writing the evidence on charges of felony.

Atlanta, August 18.-—There was a grand Republican mass meeting in this city to-day, in honor of the nomination of Grant and Colfax. The procession was formed at the post office building, consisting of about seven hundred negroes Bud three white men. Near the bead of the procession was an express wagop, canopied with the United States flag, and ornamented with flags aud the names of Grant and Colfax. The wagon contained thirty-seven white girls, represent ing the several States, each dressed in white, and waving miniature flage. The procession marched through the prin cipal streets, with music and banners, to the City Hall SquftFr-,' and were addressed by cx-Governor Joseph E Browu, James John son, JoshuA Hill, and others- Johnson spoke of the rule of the Repub lican party for the past few years, and of the magnitude of tho work it had performed. He said the debt was created by the vanquished party, whose object was to perpetuate slavery and make it universal, and the conquered should be made to pay the debt. lie characterized the war as unmitigated and wrong ; but let those who inaugurated the war pay all the penalties: Southern people were hostile to the United States Government; be would rejoice to livo to see the day when not a slave remained in the United States; a poor white man who complained of the abolition of slavery should have thirty-nine lashes on his bare back. He defended the Govern ment in giving the black man the ballot; it was to secure them in their freedom ; the negro was ignorant and poor, and this was tho reason why they should be allowed to vole that they may be enabled to protect themselves. He then referred them, also, to the intention of the Democratic party to make this a white man’s Government. He said the choice was given the Southern States iu the Fourteenth Article to count the negro, aud have him represented iu the general government, or not. The Democratic public speakers were responsible foY the riot*, so frequent in the the country, and warned the people, if this was continued, they had not seen deep in the bucket. Tho Democrats proposed to underwork the executive and army—this meant war. To the blacks, he said : God has given you freedom ; you cannot unaided support yourself. Three months you owe to your deliverers—stand by the Republican party—wheu you go home, go through the country, talk to your friends, urge them to be true to their party, and come to the polls unaided by threats, Joshua Hill followed, and endorsed all said by the Ex-Governor, lie spoke of the good behavior of the masses, administered a report from President Johnson, threatening war over the of General Blair, eulogized Grant as no usurping tyrant, but as modest as a woman, distinguished among his soldiers for administrative ability, spoke of Gotfax in the same strain, and spoke of Seymour, although he had no personal acquaintance, as he had with the distinguished soldier asserted on the Demo cratic ticket. Chief Justice Joe Brown followed. He had not taken the oath of office, nor re oeived his commission, hence there was no impropriety in appearing on this occa sion. He made reference to the re-opening of hostilities if Grant and Colfax was elec ted. There was no danger of tho prestige of Grant.his determination and his will all pre cluded such event. He read from Seymour and Blair’s letters and speeches to show that war would ensure the carrying out of their views- He said the negro would not sur render the right of suffrage without blood shed. He did not the negroes would inaugurate bloodshed, but might be goaded into it by whites. (Loud Cheers.) Other speakers then followed. A. Alpeoria Bradley, expelled Senator, got up a side show during Brown’s speech and drew off a large crowd. One negro speaker said he had no con fluence in white men who say they are with us. He was for the negroes, and believed the white folks were for themselves. The whites who pretend to be for us will desert us in times of trouble. He advised the negroes to stand by and for themselves. The. crowd dispersed at 4 o’clock. ♦ From Atlanta. Atlanta, August 18.—The City Council of Atlanta have bargained for the opera building for tho State House for seven thousand dollars annually. The Republicans agreed in caucus to elect Electors by the General Assembly. Fire.

Bullcck Brothers also lost eight hundred sacks of fine meal, and Messrs. Claghorn a 10l of cotton. Washington Hems Washington, August 18.—Itwas rumored yesterday that the French and Prussian legations had receded. Warlike advices were pronounced in proper quarters too absurd for contradic tion. Berthemy Buys Franco had loaned largo sums to Austria and Italy for Railroad pur poses, and iu return this money accounts tor accumulation of bullion in tho bank of France. General Rosectans left this morning for the White Sulphur Springs. On the same train, and in social company with Gen. Rosecrons, were Generals Ewell, Longstreet and Hunter. Rosccrans returns on Thursday. General Lee is at the White Sulphur Springs. Tho Republican Congressional Committee have been sending out twenty-five thousand political documents per week, aud they expect to average fifty to one hundred thousand per week until the election. Tho recent riotous proceedings of tho Butler Zouaves has ventilated in the cir cumstances connected with the disbanding of tho militia companies in the District. Tho President ordered them disbanded. General Grant referred the order to General Emory, who returned it, with the endorse ment that there was no authority for such a proceeding, since martial law did not exist. The order was returned to the President, with his endorsement, and there the matter rested. Mr. Watts, Minister to Austria, is hero, waiting for instructions. The Cabinet meeting was full to day, with the exception of Welles. Revenue to-day $379,000, Letters from Kansas report repeated out rages by the Indians, who are beating men and outraging women in a shocking maimer. Farragut comes home in October. It is seriously stated that Rosenerauz’* visit to Virginia is for consultation with Gen. Lee regarding Mexican relations, aud tho Southwestern border interests. Other parties say that Rosenerauz desires to consult Gen. Lee with regard to the views, purposes and probable action of the Southern Democrats, as preliminary to a letter of advice which Rosenerauz intends addressing to the Ger mans before leaving this country. Nothing, however is positively known, beyond the fact that Rosenerauz goes to Virginia to see Gen. Lee, The Collector fur New Orleans has not yet been named. Cablegrams. London, August 18.—The London Herald has a long article on the life and past services of Thaddeus' Stevens. The writer thinks that many wiser and abler Americans than Mr. Stevens have lately been lost to the cause of the country, but the Republican party will long feel that they could have spared a better man. Bkrux, August 18.—It is officially an nounced that the Government of Switzerland will summarily reject any ptiqiosal of France looking to an alliance with that power. Havana, August 18.—Saluave intends coming here. A war vessel, with Salnave’s wife and Minister of War, has been captured. Salnavo had imprisoned a Prussian and threatened the British Minister.

Colonel Jcmmez and General Alatarrc are expected at Veru Cruz with reinforce ments. Louisiana Legislature. Ntw Orleans, August 18.—The lottery bill, against which tlie presiding officers of both Houses protested so strongly, became a law on Sunday, by the lapse of time for the Governor’s action. Not satisfied with the bill* passed some time since, vesting the control of polico affairs iu this city in a board of commissioners, inde pendent of the city authorities, another bill is now before the Senate creating a Metro politan Police District, comprising the city, parish of Orleans, Jefferson, and the parish of St. Bernard, providing that the powers and duties connected with and incident to the police government and discipline of said district be vested in a board of five commis sioners, of which the Lieutenant Governor is ex officio president; the board to appoint superintendent, inspectors, captains, sur geons, sergeants, patrolmen, clerks and doormen. The commissioners are to be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate The advocates of lhe Lili say it resembles, in most resjiecte, the Metropolitan Police bill, of New York. It contains the usual proviso: none can lidd even the most subordinate position created who is disquali fied to hold office under the Fourteenth Article or State Constitution. The Board is empowered to provide such accommoda tions for itself as it may deem requisite, awl appoint special Policemen, at the diservtion of its members, like the Metropolitan Police force, and empowered to discharge all constabulary powers, except civil process, in any part of this Si ate. The Board is to select one of their own members Treasurer, to control the disbursement fund provided by this bill., Order from General Stoneman.
