Beautiful ExPerimeut.
Here is a curious fact: Take a string
that will reach twice around the iiedk of a
young lady; let her hold the ends* in her
teeth, and then if the noose will slip over her ,
heap to the back of her neck, it is a certain
indication that she is married—Of wants

The elite ol some of our cities are enjoy
ing themselves at brilliant entertainments
denominated 1 matinees,' or day bulls. These
generally take place at. mid day, when the
shutters are closed, gas is lighted, the com
pany assemble; tvud cotillons, waltzes,
polkas and flirtations become the order of
the day.
Worth Knowing.
There is no safer protection against bur
glars, than to feed your baby, before going
to bed, with green apples. It will begin to
bellow before midnight—and it is a sure
thing that it can’t be stopped before morn
ing. A friend of ours (blessed with a baby)
has tried it, and recommends the remedy.

Meelihg of the Grant Club.
Grant Club, No. 1, held an enthusiastic
meeting on Monday night.
The fallowing persons were elected per
manent officers of the Club: Thomas 11.
Hankinson, President; Robert Battey,
Viee President; G. B. Snowden, Secretary
and Moses Gardner, Treasurer.
After the transaction of other business
the crowd assembled in front of the Court
House steps where Simeon P. Braird made
a most powerful and effective speech in
favor of Liberty, Grant and Peace. Few
white men speak so well as Mr. Braird.
W. J. White also addressed the meeting.
The Augusta (colored) Brass Band was
present, and played several patriotic airs.
Hint to Medical Meu.
A medical gentleman, down East, has
adopted the plan of fixing a gutta-percha
mouth-piece by the side’ of his bell handle
at the street door, attached to which is a
long gutta-percha tubing which reaches to
his bed. In the night, when the bell is
rung, the tube which hangs by the bedside
is immediately resorted to, aud a conversa
tion is carried on without the necessity of
the doctor ever rising from bis pillow. This
is a very great convenience.
Our City.
We can not refrain from congratulating
our people upon the unmistakable evidences
of our city’s progress in extent and popula
tion. So far as we can look into the future,
we see nothing which can retard the contin
ued and rapid advance of Augusta in a career
of high prosperity.
An inquiry into the causes of this increase
of population and wealth might be interest
ing. That the position, healthfulness and
other natural advantages of the city have
contributed to thia end, no one can doubt.
But we are fully of the opinion that the
extension of railways and the large invest
ments made in manufactures, both by pri
vate citizens and by the City Council, have
had much the greatest influence in the
development of our resources, and in gather
ing to this point an industrious class, which,
after all, contributes in the greatest degree
to advance the best interests of a city, by
bringing the internal interests of the section
into competition with those of other sections
and giving to Commercial enterprise an
extended influence. The prosperity and
wealth of a city depend much upon the
number and character of its Mechanics—
and we are pleased to know that this class
is largely upon the increase. The benefits
which would result to us by a liberal encour
agement of our home mechanics, we have
often touched upon in these columns. And
the fact that this part of our population has
so largely increased within the past five
years, is sufficient evidence of a growing
feeling among our citizens of patroaizing
domestic, manufacture, giving at the same
time encouragement to the mechanic to im
prove in his art, and to produce articles at
corresponding prices with Northern cities.

Editor Augutla Republican:
Dear Sir —The market for the Hog product is
in about the same position as at the date of toy
last circular. The demand has boon entirely
consumptive, and the orders were lor small
amounts—consumers generally restricting pur
chasers to immediate wants. Holders, however,
displayed no anxiety to sell, and were not in
clined to grant any concessions. IV hat effect
the cattle disease, which is now prevailing in
some localities, will have upon the market for the
hog product, it is impossible to say; but so far.
it has not hud any marked influence, though in
this immediate vicinity it has materially les
sened the demand for frosh Beef and increased
the consumption of salt moats.

The Young Men's Christian Association
of Washington have undertaken to prepay
all letters dropped into the Post Office of
that city without proper stamps. The
stamp they affix to a slip of paper which
bears the words: “This letter was dropped
in the Washington post office without the
proper stamp. To prevent it going to the
Dead Letter office the Yeung Men’s Chris
tian Association have furnished the stamp
and forwarded the letter. Please return a
stamp or any amount you may choose to
contribute. Address Young Men’s Chris
tian Association, Washington, D. C.”
This is an excellent and really philan
thropic idea, which should be imitated in
Augusta and other cities. Most of the un
paid letters dropped in the post office is the
result of accident, and the consequent
delay is often attended with serious incon
venience.
—During the past Summer Admiral Far
ragut has been entertaining half the
monarchs of Europe. The King of Italy,
the King of Belgium, the King of Prussia
(if we remember rightly), the Prince of
Wales, and we don’t know how many other
first-chop royalties have dined, and wined,
and danced, and hobnobbed with the great
naval hero of America. But now, most
wondertul of all, we hear by cable that the
Sultan has visited the Admiral pn board His
flag-ship, and has there been' entertained.'
The liberalism which Abul-Azziz has lately
manifested is truly shocking to all good
Mussulmans.
[From the Intelligencer.
The Georgia Legislature.
Atlanta, August 31, 1868.
SENATE.
Mr. Hnugcrfonl moved that the s|>ecial
order of the day lie on the table for the
present, which was a bill to organize a city
court of Atlanta, for the purpose of taking
up the bill iu reference to establishing a
municipal government of Augusta.
Mr. Winn opposed the motion, although
willing to vote for the Augusta bill, yet he
did uot wish action delayed, in order to give
the preference to another bill.
Air Gonley offered a bill, us a substitute,
with the same title.
Mr. Holcombe offered a substitute in lieu
of the original and substitute.
Mr, Hungerford said: Having resided
for years in the city of Augusta, he felt it
his duty to say something in regard to his
birthplace. It was impossible to get up a
quorum to transact any business there ; one
of the Council members is President of the
Senate, one is a member of the lower House,
aud one Governor. It is a duly wc owe to the
people there, to the Slate, that these people
should have an election, and it only remains
for us to say which of the bills should pass.
Being proud of my birthplace, I am proud
that it is in my power to do something for the
people. 1 know most of the people there, and
they simply wish a government there. The
last bill puts off the election till Decomber,
and I have been therfl and know it is their
desire to have an election now. Do we put
this election off lor a political purpose or for
their benefit ? They hold that those parties,
being appointed by the military, therefore
they demand another election, so that a
quorum can be had, and business done for
the welfare of the city. The citizens send
ing lifts petition bore complain of indifference
upon the part of present incumbents;
besides, they do not wish it put off. They
are fearful that something is behind the
curtain. This meeting was not held by a
few, but by thousands assembled at the City
Hail. Their bonds are going down, property
is becoming depreciated. As to registra
tion, we have plenty of time. One bill
claims that the registration should be at tlie
polls. Suppose a party loses his certificate
before the election, how can he vote? And
under the get of 1866, there was so much
fraud discovered, that even men could be
found who would sell their birthright for a
mess of pottage. What is it? ’A little
certificate which parties unprincipled took
advantage of by offering ss'fur it, and even
$lO. is this justice? If so, God deliver
me from such justice.
Let all vote, irrespective of certificates,
just so tlieir names are on the register books;
give us a free government- We know that
there are persons who will sell their votes,
and two years’ experience in 1856 convinced
them that such would continue under the
system. Let no temptation be thrown in the
■way of designing men to tnke advantage of
the necessities of the needy. If there were
men in the two years’ system who would sell
their votes, they ar* to be found there now.
Do wo come here to open the doors for
fraud, or to do away with it, to shut out
every avenue, so that it can not creep in ?
I am in favor of giving the people an elec
tion forthwith, being oppose# to a system
giving office two years. A good many cry
out that riots might occur, if it be brought
about before the Presidential election. I
think too well of my native city to believe
she has sunk so low us to excUe riots to
carry a measure of which so many are iden
tified with. Give them men who will stay
there, und uot, by their absence, look after
other affairs, thereby neglecting the interests
of the citv. Let the election be, therefore,
speedily.
Mr. Harris moved that the three bills be
printed.
The motion was agreed to und the same
made the special order for Wednesday next,
at II o’clock.
The Senate took up the special order,
which was the bill establishing a City Court
of Atlanta.
xhe bill was, on motion of Mr. Winn,
passed.
The bill sotting apart a homestead was
taken up aud made the special order for
Monday.
Mr. McArthur reported a resolution that
the Secretary inform the Governor that R.
E. Lester was seated in the place of A. A.
Bradley, and no vacancy now exists in that
district.
Mr. Candler offered a substitute in sub
stance that the proceedings in the ease of
Bradley by tbe Senate be transmitted, which
was agreed to.
Mr. Winn reported a resolution author
izing that free passes be given to Mrs. C. J.
Williams and Miss M. J. Greco over the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, they being
Trustees of the Memorial Association for
burying tbe dead.
Mr. Moore introduced a resolution au
thorizing the Governor to issue a proclama
"Won ordering the disbanding all armed as
sociations throughout the Stalo.
Mr. Brock moved to lay the same on the
table, whereupon the yeas and nays werv
required to be recorded, und are yeas 14,
nays 16. So the motion did not prevail.
Mr. Candler spoke in favor of the resolu
tion, reciting places were danger was im
minent.
Mr. Hungerford spoke agahiat tha passage
of the resolution, stating that the whole hue
aud cry was because the negroes were assem
bling for a political purpose.
Mr. Candler rose to ask a question, when
Mr. 11. said : 11 1 wish to answer your point,
sir, that you dodged just now.”
Mr. Candler. I did not intend to dodge it
if I did.
Mr. 11. further stated that if any one could
show him qvidence, ho would vote for it.
Mr. Burns—WlH you take a Senator’s
word for it on the floor? If so, I will prove
it now ; and he is a Republican, too.
Mr. Hungerford—lt depends upon how he
stands. There are many who call them
selves Republicans who have not tbe prin
ciple.
Mr. Nunnally followed, and replied to the
remarks offered, during which Mr. Hunger
ford said that no evidence had been offered
proving to him that armed bodies did exist.
Mr. Nunnally (excitedly)—Offer it to yon,
sir—to you? Sir, you have refused to be
lieve the evidence of a Senator on this floor.
Why not me? It is not for me to offer it
further.
Mr. Adkins offered a substitute, as a kind
of peace-offering.
Mr. Smith, of the 36th, saw no reason
why the Governor can not be requested to
act in the premises, when the proofs are
furnished. • ■
Mr. Brock said that if tbe resolution was
fixed so that it would cover plainly all the
facts as to color, etc., he would vote for it.
Mr. Merrell saw no reason why such a
resolution should pass. He believed that
the whole tiring was a fling at the Governor.
What could he do ? Has he a militia?—
The law says that every citizen has a right
to bear arms until they use them improper
ly. Has any proof been advanced to this
effect?
Mr. Nunnally stated that he would in
form him that iu one county armed men
had resisted the sheriff.
Mr. Merrell said then it was the duty of
the sheriff to summon tbe whole county as
posse, then inform the Governor of tbe fact.
Mr. Speer, offered an amendment that
the right of all citizens to peaceably assem
ble shall not be infringed upon, which was
agreed to. Yeas 33, nays 0.
The original resolution w unanimously
adopted.
The Senate adjourned;
house.
Mr. Siins (colored) resumed his argument
on the question under debate at the hour of
adjournment on Saturday last, vizf The
eligibility of negro members. He read a
protest, written with eare and precision, and
evidently the work of some wiser head than
his. He insisted it should bo entered on the
journal, lie spoke till ten o’clock, wheu it
was moved to take up the special order of
the day and hour: the bill to lend the aid of
the State to the Air-Line Railroad. A
motion was made to postpone the bill aud
make it the special order of Monday next,
10 o’clock; which motion prevailed by a
vote of 64 to 61.
Mr. Tumlin proposed to offer the following
resolution:
Whereas, The question of eligibility of
colored members to seats upon the floor is
one of more importance than any other that
has or will bo brought before this House ;
therefore, bo it
llcsolved, That wc bring no other matter
before this House until the question of
eligibil'ty, now pending, bo finally settled.
Mr. Porter (colored), who had risen,
refused to yield tho floor to allow it to be
taken up.
Mr. Porter proceeded to address tbe
House. He was pretty severe on lawyers,
saying “ if he were not conscious he had a
soul to save, ho might boa lawyer himself.”
Ho said this measure was infamous, aud the
introducer of it unfit to occupy a seat on
this floor. He was a traitor, a stirrer up of
strife—had cast a fire brand into this House.
Mr. Porter spoke of Thaddeus Stevens as a
sainted martyr. Thm drift of his remarks
was that Congress would rectify the matter.
He said that no doubt there were Republi
cans in the House who could be purchased
with a drink of whiskey, but there was not a
single black Republican here who could bo
so purchased.
Mr. Porter resumed, reading from the
State Constitution in refereneuce to qualifi
cations for members of the House of Repre
sentatives.. He was very much hurt by the
decision of tbe Chair, that members chal
lenged shall first be heard and then retire.
He said it had cost him filly dollars to vote
for the speaker elect. After having spoken
three ami a half hours, he moved to postpone
the ineligibility resolution! indefinitely. He
continued to speak for some time afterwards.
Bis motion was ruled out of order.
Mr. Sisson rose to a privileged question,
and offered this resolution :
Wheiieas, James Porter, a person of color
from Chatham county, occupying a seat
upon this floor, charges that it cost him the
sum of fifty dollars to cast a vote for the
present Speaker of this House, and as such
charge reflects upon the dignity and honor
of this body, and demands an explanation
ns to its falsity or truthfulness; be it, there
fore,
Hesolocl, That James Porter, the person
of color aforesaid, be required to establish
the serious charge he has maJe upon this
flooK against the presiding officer of this
House, or suffer tho odium which attaches
to calumniation.
Porter signified his willingness to explain.
Mr. Flournoy rose to move to extend the
session, in order that he might explain.
Mr. Bryant rose to tlie point that tho hour
of adjournment had arrived.
Porter refused to yield the floor for exten
sion of the time, and the House adjourned
till to-morrow, when Porter has the floor.
To be llcmembcred.
Tbe stagnation of business aud general
want of .employment, which have been so
complained of lately, are not to be regarded
as an unmixed evil. „ Thousands ot artisans
and laborers, perplexed with the difficulty of
securing employment in our Northern and
Eastern cities, have been induced to emi
grate to tbe West, where ample fields for
industry aud enterprise are open to them. In
this way the process of developing tbe vast
resources of the country is being greatly
facilitated, ami, ere long, results will bo
obtained that will amply compensate for the
depression now experienced by our commer
cial ami industrial interest. The hidden
wealth of the nation is brought to light, and
the general prosperity promoted by the dis
tribution ol population in sections which
need tbe busy hands of toil.
The Slate l.unaiic Asylum.
A report of the Trustees, Superintendent,
Resident Physician, and Treasurer of the
Lunatic Asylum of Georgia for the years
1866-’67, with a supplemental report to
Governor Roger, comes ti us from the
FcJc<al Union office, in Milledgeville. It
is a pamphlet of forty pages. Dr. GREEN
reports 211 male and 220 female patients
during the year Os these, 39 were dis
charged and 23 died. In the institution
October. 2, 1867 —males- 185, and females
184.
The'supplemental report, July 3, 1868>
reports 388 patients, of whom 52 were col
ored. Tho institution has been constantly
crowded to its utmost capacity for more than
a year past, with never less than ten to
twenty applicants for admission on hand*
This extraordinary increase in the number
of patients will accessary devolve upon the
Legislature the duly ol making a material*
increase in the appropriations for their sup
port. The expenses daring the year ending
October I, 1867, including $9,792 expendi
ture on account of building tor colored
insane, were $80,225.68. Os this nmeunt,
about $6,000 were received from pay

The Senate resumed the motion to recon
sider the Usury laws of the State. The de
bate was leugthy, but finally passed—yeas
20, nays 15. The bill was taken up imme
diately, and an amendment that the rate of
per cent, shall not exceed twelve and a half
was lost. An amendment that the rate do not

day why the election of Speaker cost him
fifty dollars. He said it was his expenses
from New York to Atlanta.
Several speakers, including Harrison and
Glower, were frequently called to order,
