Trade in Griffiu has revived amazingly in the last few days. In fact it has increased 100 [>er cent., at least. A quantity of dried K peaches are being put upon the market at V from $6 to 87 per bushel, and a few bales of new cotton have already arrived, selling from 27 io 29e. The farmers are pretty free from new debts, and the prospects for a lajge fall trade are extremely favorable. [Griffin Star. The Hon. R. C. Surrency, member of the Lower House from Tatnall county, was rubbed at his boarding house on Tuesday night last. His room was entered, his trunk broken open, and money to the sum of $57 taken therefrom. We saw yesterday, at the office of Drs. Standford and Moses, a portion of the skull bones cut out from the head of Mrs. Ander son by her husband, in his murderous assault upon her on Sunday last The sight was a horrible one. The pieces of skull bone were ten or twelve in number, and the largest was about an inch wide by three inches in length. The cuts were made on top of the head, between the crown and the forehead, and the drawing-knife used must have been a very sharp instrument, for some of the edges of the bone were ent perfectly smootb. Nearly the whole of the skull on the upper and front part of the head was cut through in parallel or trans verse lines, and at least one of the euts was over an inch deep. All of them either went ’ entirely through the skull or drove it in fragments down into the brain, whence it was extracted by the doctors. The most remarkable part of the horrible idTair is that the poor woman was still alive on Monday night, was entirely sensible and actually appeared to be getting better. We say appeared, for the chance of her recovery would seem to be hopeless, the physicians being of the opinion that in mosycases only one of the numerous cuts that penetrated the skull would cause death. [ Columbus Enquirer. We noticed on the streets yesterday after norm two wagons, each loaded with three bales of new cotton. It is very dull among merchants, but if the cotton rolls in in that NiitionalUepnblicnn AUGUSTA.

The present Presidential campaign in volves more momentous consequences than any previous political contest in the history of the country. The people of Georgia are deeply interested in the result, and will therefore, look 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 iu a measure this deed, we will mail The National Republican from now to January 1, 1869, at the lew 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 newspaper. Specimen copies sent free to any address Notice.—We have several choice utter ances by Blustering Bob, at the Central Hotel, last week, and would be pleased to have more of the same sort. It is true, most of them are too vulgar for publication, but, nevertheless, we like to preserve such evi dences of the beasliality of the leader of the “ respectability” party. Republicans who may have chanced tc hear the harangue will please advise us. IMPORTANT NEWS. Our ample special dispatches this morn ing contain news of the very highest importance. It will be seen that the Senate has rejected all the bills before that body providing foT the election of muni cipal officers in this city. The trouble seems to be that the Democrats are un willing to .have an election Itcfore Decem ber, and desire to so shape the bill as to place working men in the power of unscrupulous moneyed men, while the Rejntblicans earnestly desire an immediate and fair election. The vote will probably be reconsidered to-day, and a compromise agreed upon. The public will lie startled at the an nouncement that the late Treasurer says he has no money belonging to the State. We deem it but just to suggest that out citizens should suspend judgment in the matter until the matter should be fully investigated. We are not of those who would render hasty judgment against a political opponent in a matter so serious. Our dispatches further state that the colored members of the House were ousted yesterday. This will take no one by sur prise. We were prepared for it. Indeed, since the key note of revolution was sound ed by Frank Blair, and reechoed by Cobb, Toombs and Hill, wc have been pre pared for any act of treason to the State or resolution against the Government. It will not suffice for gentlemen to say that negroes ought not to be permitted to hold office. The negro is confessedly a citizen, and the Constitution of Georgia makes him eligi ble to hold office. Therefore, we deliber ately assert that every member of the House—not a natural noodle—that voted to deprive members of seats to which they had been legally elected, because they had black skins, was recreant to his duty as a Representative, and violated the obliga tions which he assumed when he took an oath to support the new Constitution. It only remains for the Legislature to con summate its record of infamy by legis lating twenty-three Democrats, defeated before the people, into the seats which rightfully belong to men with whiter prin ciples, if they do have blacker skins, Hewitt.—Wherever one goes, whether Richmond, Raleigh, Wilmington, Louisville, Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, or any other city, one is confronted with an invita tion to stop at "Hewitt’s Globe Hotel,’’ in Augusta. The man possessing the energy to advertise his business as thoroughly as does Col. Hewitt certainly “knows how to keep a hotel." Boteven Hewitt is sometimes mis taken. For instance: he has an idea that he can kill off the editorial staff of the Rs* pcblican. That is a hard job, especially with such poison as the Colonel prescribes. Yesterday we received a black bottle marked “Poison!” We felt reckless and took a dose—found it to be No- 1 Old Rye. Our Democratic friend can never kill off this portion of the Republican party with such I poison. | . w WHO IS TO BLAME? Theeditorof the Atlanta Constitution, in noticing the determination of the lead ing mercantile firms to extend no further credit to Southern merchants until our political difficulties arc settled, says: Thit is one of the first fruits of Radical recon struction. New York merchants have no confi dence in negro carpet-bag governments. They are unwilling to sell their goods to merchants in the States where the law-making and the judicial power is placed in irresponsible hands. We must confers we have never seen an instance of more flagrant perversion of the controlling motives of men than that alleged to govern the New Y'ork merchants by our cotemporary of the Constitution. Tlic paper from which the Constitution acknowledges it obtained its information, states distinctly the cause of this extra ordinary action on the part of Northern busincs men to be their manifest determi nation, in the event of the success of Skymovb and Blair, to overturn all the reconstructed State Governments, and to use so much force as may be necessary to accomplish this purpose, even to the extent of involving the country in another civil war. No one understands better than the slashing editor of the Constitution that, even if it were possible to elect the Democratic ticket to the Presidency, and the policy of the Brodhead letter were attempted to be carried out, the Congress of the United States would never consent to such a course. No one knows better than the editor that neither Governor Bullock, Governor Holden, Governor Smith, Governor Scott, Governor Brown low, nor Governor Wakmouth, would consent to be “dispersed” at the bidding of Frank Blair. Ben. Hill may talk of th® Southern Union men “running like dogs,” but sensible men know better. No doubt some of then! would run. We believe we have heard men admit as much; but they are generaly similar in character to the blustering rebels during the war who managed to keep out of the fight. But the great mass would protect their State Government, its Constitutiort, and its laws. They have taken a through ticket to do this thing, and he who would get off the train is not only a traitor to his party but his country. He is neither a Republican nor a patriot. That the loyal State Gov ernments would be protected by the masses of the loyal people of the North, aided by nearly every Federal General of the late war, is unquestionable. We know that the Northern Democrats have promised great aid. All such promises are not worth tho paper on which they are written. We sub join the following timely warning to the Southern people from the Soldier's Friend, published nt New York : Wo wish to utter a word of warning against tho men who propose to reopen the drama of war and revolution. No graver mistake eau bo made by the people of tho South than to repose confidence in the “fire eaters” of other days, who now are using all their power to inflame and drive them on to certain ruin ; and, on the other hand, to trust the Northern Demagogues, who now make them promises of Northern rebellion and blood to regain “tho lost cause.” The leaders of tho South in 1860 taught the people that there would be no war—that “the North would not fight”—aWd that if there were any fighting in the North, it would bo done in New York, where tho workingmen would rise, and Yankee soldiers would be shot down in tho strrots. Even Jeffer son Davis said, in Washington, before he loft his seat, under the assurance of Northern allies, that “New York would give twenty thousand recruits to tho Southern army.” And now, jour nals like tho LaCrosse Democrat and Metropoli tan Record are broadcast over tho South, filled with promises of the alacrity with which the North will aid them in the use of the “bayonet.” We warn tho South tbat.tho leaders who thus address them are only hurrying them into a deep abyss. We warn the South against being be trayed by the political mock-auction-mon and pocket-book-druppers, who promise sueh im mense strength to their cause. It is nothingbut tho rabies of disappointed ambition. Not one in ten thousand of tho Northern people wont to the help of the South in 1860, and a smaller number will try it again. This refusal of credit is not one of the “ first fruits of Radical reconstruction,” but it is one of the first and smallest evils of Democratic reaction. The reconstructed State of North Carolina went into the market the other day as a borrower, and obtained all the money she desired at six per cent, per annum, that being as low as she obtained it before the war. This shows that the monied men in the Democratic city of New York are not alarmed about the permanency of Radical reconstruction; but they are not willing to risk men who stand pledged to forcibly attempt to over throw that kind of reconstruction. It our business men would only throttle the revolutionary politicians, “ accept the situation,” and talk business instead of politics, they could have as much credit as they eould wish. Until they learn this fact, and govern themselves accordingly, neither themselves or the country will prosper. THE PARTY OF PRIVILEGES. The Democrats of Delaware resolve that “ the elective franchise is a political privi lege, and not a natural right, and is to bo granted or withdrawn in the several States by their respective inhabitants ns •■the free, sound judgment and discretion of each shall be deemed best for the publie interest and welfare.’.’ This is a mild expression ot the Demo cratic idea of caste and a government of privileges. They have to go but a qtep far ther, to declare for a monarchy and privi leged aristocracy. They have no faith in popular, government, aud do not believe in making political rights harmonize with natural rights. The party which believe in the principle of master and black slave, also believe "in that of nabob and white 'pauper- They can not quite eouceal the cloven foot.i Give them the reigns of governmeet again and we may bid good-bye to popular govern ment. •The People.’—Put down a mob any where. by the strong arm of the law, and the Democrats call it oppressing the people and interfering with the popular will. ‘The people,’ in the Democratic creed, always means the riotous mob in opposi tion to the legal authorities—unless the government is in the handsof the mob, as in New York city. “The Wiukedkst Mail’*—As faithful chroniclers of current events, we publish this nteiing a somewhat extended account of thelnkaUempt at reformation of the “Wick edest in New York,” copied from the New York Tribune. THE VERMONT ELECTION. “ What news from Vermont ?” In reply we can only say that the Associated Press, being a Democratic concern, docs not elect • to send news discouraging to the rcvolu tionary clansmen. An election was held in the Green Mountain State on the Ist, and the Associated Press have only favored us with one dispatch. This augers well for Grant and Peace. If the Demo crats had made any gains, as their organs confidently asserted would be the case, or even held their own, the bulletin board of every Southern news paper would be covered with glowing dis patches, But we have made gains. The people of the North are determined to crush incipient treason in the bud. A wet blanket is spread on the hopes of the revo lutionists, and the news of the fact will be suppressed as long as possible. We do not pretend to predict what our majority in Vermont will be. It will not lie as large as Grant’s in November. We are not disposed to crow over our and the country’s enemies. We only con jure all good citizens to reflect and be convinced that there is no possible chance of Seymour’s election, if every Southern State should vote for him, and that same policy dictates the wisdom of discretion in the canvass and liberality to those differ, ing with them in opinion. The day will come when leading Democrats will desire favor at the bands of Republicans. DIFFICULTY WITH NEGROES. Oa last Tuesday, Mr Nathan Henry Bass, of this county, had occasion to correct some negro women in regard to their taking peaches that had been reserved for a special purpose. A quarrel ensued, and he whipped one of them. The negro mon camo in from the plantation, and some five or six, armed with guns and pistols, attempted •to redress what they claimed to be the wrongs perpetrated on the woman. Mr. Bass came to town and obtained a peace warrant for their arrest. Sheriff May went and arrested four without resistance. Tho leader of the mob is named Jesse Perrin, a negro of bad character, and most of the blame is attached to him.— Rome Courier. We publish the above, not only for the purpose of condemning the action of tlje colored men in attempting to revenge the outrage on the colored woman, but to de nounce the conduct of “Mr. Nathan Henry Bass,” who may be a very clever gentleman, for aught wc know. The Cour ier complacently states that Mr. Bass “whipped one of them.” What right had he to thus chastise a woman ? Thank God, the institution of slavery is dead, and there is no law in Georgia authorizing the casti gation of men or women. What would any community think, had this gentleman “whipped” a white woman, wc care not how lbw and degraded she may have been, socially ’ Would not white mon have felt indig nant ? And is but natural that negroes should feel outraged at seeing one of the daughters of their race flogged ? Alter all, who can say that a black woman does not possess to a certain degree the womanly instinct of white women. If Mr. Bass has a right to chastise a colored woman, every white man in the State has the privilege. If all have the right, what is the negroe’s freedom worth ? It is all well enough to lay all the blame on those negro men ; but from the Courier's own account, we are constrained to say that, if Mr. Bass had not flogged a woman —committed a gross violation of the law—there would have been no beligerent demonstrations by the negroes. Let all {parties take the blame whifh properly attaches to thejr conduct. The Democrats may contend tliat the “ negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect,” but Reconstructed Georgia will ultimately teach them better. —— - - ■ State Road Appointments.—The Atlanta Constitution fumes and froths muchly be cause Superintendent Hulbert manages the State Road in his own way, and selects sub ordinates in whose capacity be has confi dence, and who do not regard the State Gov ernment as a usurpation, as do the revolu tionists. If General Gordon had been elected Governor, how many Republicans would have received appointments under his ad ministration ? But he was not elected, and Democrats should not complain if they are dosed with the physic they would administer to their opponents, had they the power. The denunciation of disappointed aspirants, many of whom have grown rich off the patronage of tho State Road, is sweet music in the cars of Republicans. Tuiinino the Tables.—A day or two since a somewhat retired local Democratic politician, stopped an old cellared man, formerly his servant, when the following dialogue occurred: Democrat—Uncle Billy what have you against Was I not always kind to you ? • Uncle Billy— l’ve got nothin agin you. Ob course, you wus allers good to me. Democrat— Then why don’t you vote with me ? UtKle Billy— (Scratching his head) — M ars ; w hat you got agin me ? Wernt I allers a faithful servant? Democrat— Why, Billy, I have nothing in the world against yon. I am your friend. Uncle Billy—Then why don’t you vote with me. The *Whelmin« Tide ’ —Som« of the Democratic papers arc talking about the ‘whelming tide’ that is sweeping over the country—but they do not seem to be aware tliat it is sweeping away their party and augmenting the Republican. Every day wc receive announcements of leading men forsaking the rotten old Democratic organ ization and uniting with the new, vigorous and progressive Republican party. There are n<> accounts of changes the other way. This constant accession to our ranks shows plainly enough which way the ’whelming tide’ is setting. The undercurrent runs in thn same direction, irresistibly, though silently. -- Democratic Logic.—The Democrats oppose with tooth and nail the idea oS organizing local militia in the 45outh, or the distribution of arms, and then cry out that reconstruction is a failure liecause the local authorities with the aid of their own militia are unable to preserve the peace. They condemn men for not doing what they arc deprived the means of doing. THE WICKEDEST MAN IN NEW YORK. Allen closes his Dance-House—“ Will Carry a Hod Sooner than Open it Again"— Prayer-Meeting in the Old Den—The Wickedest Man's Maiden Speech—A Noon-Day Prayer-Meeting. Tlte “Wickedest Man in New York” shut up his dance-house on Saturday night. As the clock struck twelve, and the Sabbath crossed the verge of midnight, the infernal den was closed, nevermore, John Allen says, to be opened as a dauce-housq. Having heard it rumored that the Wickedest Man had actually and finally shut up shop on Saturday night, we went down there yester day to take ar. observation, and learn the exact facts of the case. Arriving at No. 304 Water street, we found the house closed and the following notice posted on the door: No gentlemen admitted, unless accompanied by their wives who wish to employ Magdalens as domestics. Jons Alles. There were groups of people in the street, talking about the Man’s unprece dented course, and some 'unfriendly feeling toward him was discoverable, although the balance of feeling was decidedly in his favor. We rapped at the door, and it was opened by a hale, clean-shaved and clean-shirted man, in his shirt-sleeves, of muscular pro portion, and rather good-looking. “Are you John Allen ?” I asked. “ Yes, sir,” he replied. “ Are you the Wickedest Man in New York?” “ Some sensation reporters have called mo so,” he responded,” “ but I don't consider myself such, and my neighbors don’t either. There isn’t anybody in the Ward that would call me so.” “ Will you answer a few plain questions?” we asked. “ To the best of my ability, I will,” replied the wickedest man ; and thereupon tho fol lowing dialogue ensued: Reporter —“Have you shut uy your dauce housa for good ?”$ Allen—“ Yes, sir ; I shut it up for good last night at 12 o’clock." Reporter—“ What made you quit the business ?” Allen—“ Because I have come to the con clusion that it is wrong to keep such a place ; and also to gratify my poor old father, who is tottering on the brink of the grave, and my brothers and sisters, who are all respect able people ; and also for the sake of my children, to whom I want to set a good example.” Reporter—“ Don’t you intend ever to keep a dance-house again ?” Allen—“ Not if I can help it.” Reporter—“ What do you mean by 'if you can help it?' ” Allen—“l mean, if I can find anything else to make a living at.” Reporter—“ But they say you are rich. What do you want employment for ?” Allen—“ Well, if lam rich, I can't be idle. I must do something. I like an active life.” Reporter—“ Then, if you can’t do better you’ll go back to keeping a dancing-house again ? Is that what you mean ? Allen—"No, sir. I’d carry a hod before I’d go into the dance-house business again. I’ve done evil enough, and now I’m going to try to do some good.” (Spoken with em phasis.) Reporter—“Hdw many dance-houses are there in this street ?” Allen—“About twenty, I should judge.” Reporter —“How many girls apiece do they average ?” Allen —“Five or six ; some have only two or three. Mine was larger—averaged about sixteen.” Reporter—“ How long do the girls live, as a general thing ?" Allen—“ They average about five years, but some are used up in one year. I’ve one girl that has been with me twelve years.” Reporter—“ What is the nationality of the girls ?” Allen—“ More than half are Irish ; the other half are divided up among nearly all nationalities.” Reporter—“ How has the recent notoriety, occasioned by Mr. Dyer’s articles, affected tli# business?” Allen—“lt has hurt it; caused us to be overrun with clergymen and other respecta ble people, and frightened off the cus tomers.” , Reporter—“ What are you going at, now that you’ve given up the dance-house busi ness ?” Allen—“ Can’t exactly say just now. Shall begin to look around after a while. Am in no hurry. Shall wait for things to quiet down.” His father, his brothers, and his sisters, who are all good Christian people, and of whom he seems to be proud and fond, on finding him out, sought by every means in their power to win him from his nefarious business, and they have clung to him and followed him with their tears aud their prayers during all those hopeless seventeen years—a remarkable instance of family affec tion and faithfulness. Allen would stop in the very riot and car nival of his dance-house to go out and help a poor child or a poor man in distress, and then return seven-fold more a child ot hell than before. One morning, a few weeks ago, he came rushing over to the Howard Mission to get somebody to go and read the Bible and pray with a dying tenant of his—for he is the owner of houses and lands. Finding Dr. Ward and Mr. Arnold, he said: “There’s a tenant of mine over here dying He’s S-’poor printer. He can’t live more than twenty-four hours ; and you know, gen tlemen, that when a man feels this world slipping out from under him, there’s only oue thing that’ll do, and that is the Saviour. I’ve been out of practice for twenty years, and can’t read and pray with the poor fellow, but you can. So come along. And he took them to the dying man’s bed side, and sat reverently by while they read the Bible and prayed with him ; and when the man died, he saw him to his funeral, and had him decently buried, and then went back to his dance-house and had a red-hot evening of it. There is many a Christian landlord in this city who would not took after a dying tenant like that, any more than he would keep a dance-house. Yesterday afternoon Allen attended re ligious services at the Howard Mission. At the close of the service it was announced that Allen had shut up his dance-house, and that he would make a few remarks. Coming forward, with diffidence and hesi tation, he said: the wickedest man’s maiden spkeck. “My Friends—Ladies and Gentlemen: I’m not accustomed to addressing audiences, and don’t intend to say much. I’ve been called the Wickedest Man in New Pork, and I have done a good deal of evil; but I am sorry for my past life, and intend to see if I can’t now do a little good. I suppose I shall have a hard time of it, and often get setback one way and another; but if my Christion friends will stand by me, I hope I shall hold out and do some good. I’m most obliged for your courtesy, and will do the best I can.” Allen, in conversation, said that he had “ cut the devil and intends hereafteFto do business with his boss.” —Genera! Wm. R, Smith, of Mineral Point, Wisconsin, died last Saturday, aged eighty-one. He was born in Pennsylvania, was a member of the treaty embassy to England iu 1803, and a Presidential elector for Van Buren, and Lincoln’s second term. He had also occupied several prominent positions in the Wisconsin State government, and the Masonic fraternity. SPECIAL NOTICES.
