The last number of Harper’s Weekly
puts down the population of Augusta at
15 000. Thirty thousand would have been
nearer the mark.
Public Schools.
The exercises of the Public Schools were
resumed yesterday. The attendance is
tolerably fair. The usual number of pupils
will hardly be enrolled prior to the first
Monday in October.
Mrs. Jones, in charge of the female de
partment Augusta Free School, is at her
post. The boys department is closed, and
will so remain until a Principal is elected.
The Democratic Mob.
When a Democratic administration fur
nished arms to the South for treasonable
purposes, the •Democratic leaders saw
nothing wrong ih it. When a Republican
administration proposes to furnish arms to
the legal authorities for the purpose of
preserving order and enforcing the laws,
Democrats raise a great hue and cry. It
is their practice to elevate the mob aliove
the government.
•
Dismissal from Service.
The acting Recorder dismissed a police
man, yesterday, for conduct unbecoming an
officer. The commissioners have a standard
of morality and propriety for their men,
which, with them, is law. Tp disregard or
violate their rules or instructions is equiva
lent to forfeiture of place. The commis
sioners will adhere to this line of policy,
without fear or favor. Their object is to
have the best and most reliable police force
iu the country. It is thoroughly organized
at present, and as efficient as any in the
United States.
Pity and Contempt for Them.
Republicans have mingled feelings ofpity
and contempt for the unreconstructed
dupes who are so completely under the -in
fluence of a few bold leaders. These dupes
appear to have no minds or wills of their
own, but go at the order of command,
without questioning or argument. They
no more dare to disobey the edicts of their
leaders and clubs, than the fjjedmen used
to when slaves. Crack the whip, and they
march forward to their allotted political
work. Republicans have pity for them, in
view of their entire subjection of body and
soul to men who, through their rebellion,
well nigh ruined this country, and who
can never reinvigorate it. They hold them
in contempt in view of their importance to
stay the work of reconstruction, as well as
their .proscriptive intimidation toward
loyal people. We never knew a class so
much to be pitied, or whose doings so
much merited the contempt of the friends
of the Government.
End of the Jewish Year.
This is the last week of the year of the
world 5628, according to the Jewish com
putation. The Israelites (as wo gather
from an interesting account in the Charles
ton A’etcs) will celebrate their ‘ Rush As
hanah,’ or New Year, A. M., 5629, on
Thursday and Friday, the 17th and 18th
inst., but the observance of the solemn
occasion commences the evening previous,
it being their invariable custom to cole,
brate all their Sabbaths and festivals from
sunset to sunset, not alone because in some
of their ordinances the words are to be
Mund ‘ from evening to evening shall ye
celebrate,' etc., but in consequence of the
record 1 the evening and the morning were
one day,' they compute the day as com
mencing from evening, or whatis generally
termed 6 o’clock P. M.
Thcoriginof the New Year observance
is to be found in the twenty-third chapter
Leviticus: ‘ And the Lord spake unto
Moses saying, In the seventh month, in the
first day of the month, shall ye have a
Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trnm"
pets, a holy convocation.’ The term seventh
month is used because from the time of
the departure from Egypt the ecclesiastical
year was made lo begin at Nissan, to com
memorate the month wherein their glorious
deliverance had been wrought. Tishri,
although thus counted as the seventh month
in religious observances, is nevertheless the
first month of the year, and the anniversary
of the creation of the world.
The cornets or trumpets which were
sounded on the New Year were not those of
silver which had been made for use in the
Tabernacle, but were made of rams’ horns,
a memorial of the animal which was offered
instead of Isaac when Jehovah tested Abra
ham's faith, aud the anniversary of which
event is on the second day ofdhe New Year-
The day is also called a Day of Memorial,
because at the close of one year and the
commencement of the next all mankind
should bring to mind their actions of the
past, and after a solemn review of faults and
frailties enter, as it were, anew into a cove
nant with his Maker, the Great King of
Kings, Creator and Governor of the whole
L niverse.
The New Year also commences the ten
days of penitence, the last of which is called
Yoin Kipur, or the Day of Atonement, o
which we will give our readers an account
in due
The services are of the most solemn and

THIRD READINGS.
A bill to carry into effect the Constitution
relative to providing grand and petit jurors
for the Superior Courts of this Slate, for
which Mr. Duncau offered a substitute.
Mr. Bryant moved lo amend the substitute
by adding a clause that in the selection of
jurors nothing in this act or in Irwin’s Re
vised Code shall disqualify any person from
serving as a juror on account of race or
color.
Mr. Bryant spoke iu favor of his amend
ment, and was replied to by Mr. Scott.
The substitute was adopted and passed—
yeas 87, nays 24.
, Mr. O’Neal made the following remarks
upon the substitute of Mr. Duncan :
Mr. Speaker, this substitute adopts tbe
jury system contained in Irwin’s Code in
stead of inaugurating a new system, and to
this extent I favor it. The present system,
as matured by our ancestors through a long
term of years, atid being well understood by
the people, comes well recommended, and I
approve it, so far as the system is concerned.
But this substitute purports to make an ad
dition to Irwin’s Code by providing that
hereafter juries shall be composed of upright
and intelligent persons. This seems to me
to be tantamount to an assertion that here
tofore juries in Georgia were not composed
of intelligent and upright persons. 1
think this is a stigma aud slander upon our
old jury system. The next and main point
to be determined is as to whether this sub
stitute is obnoxious to the new Constitution ?
It is not denied that the intention and mean
ing of this substitute is to exclude each aud
every person of cjlor in the State. Whoever
votes for this substitute thereby declares
solemnly that there is not one upright and
intelligent colored man in this State. This
cannot be denied, unless it be done on tSc
idea that some may have, that Africans are
not “persons," but “beasts.’’ I think they
arc human beings ; hence, not “beasts," but
“persons.” I think the provision in the
Constitution that jurors shall hereafter be
“upright and intelligent’’ persons a good one.
I am opposed to any man sitting on a jury
who is not upright and intelligent. Whoever
knows my character, and asserts to the con
trary, is either a “knave or a fool."
The original bill introduced by the gentle
man from Talbot was, I am informed, drafted
by a learned Judge of this State (a Demo
crat), and 1 think the system therein inau
gurated a good one ; besides, it avoids any
constitutional objections, as it merely con
tains the language of the Constitution, and
leaves the selection of juries from upright
and intelligent persons to the presiding
judges and county officers. I therefore favor
the original bill.
To license faro deSiers. Lost.
To reduce the amounts of bonds of the
Sheriffs, Clerks, and County Treasuries Os
this State. Indefinitely postponed.
To incorporate the Georgia Fire and Ma
rine Company, of Georgia. Passed.
To incorporate Cherokee Manufacturing
Company, and' also the Etowah Manufac
turing Company. Passed.
House adjourned to 4 o’clock this after

WASHINGTON LETTER,
The Government Printing Eetabliehment —Hinck-
ley Come to Grief —The Tenneence Delegation—
Election in Rew Mexico and Colorado.
Washington, September 10, 1868.
One of the most interesting establish
ments in the city is the Government Print
ing office, on the corner of H and North
Capital streets. The building is built of
brick, four stories high, and throe hundred
feet in length, and thirty feet wide. The
first floor is used as a press room and
drying room ; The second floor is the com
posing room, the third floor the binding
and the fourth floor is the folding room’
In the composing room there are, on an
average, about two hundred mon employed;
here the immense number of Department
reports are put in type ; and here, too, all
the confidential work of the Government is
done. All confidential matter comes first
to the Superintendent, by whom it is trans
ferred, under a pledge of secrecy, to the
foreman of the composing room, who does
not allow the copy to leave his sight. As
many hands as arc necessary are at once
put upon the work, and they are not
allowed to leave the room until the job is
done, the type is distributed and proof
slips, etc., destroyed. The printed matter,
with the copy, is then returned to the
Superintendent, and the copies ordered
forwarded, under seal, to the proper parties,
and nothing remains in the office to show
that such a document exists.
Tbe business of this office is necessarily
done in a hurried manner, and yet the work
turned out will compare favorably with that
put forth from nny other office in the coun
try. More pages are printed in thia office
than in any half dozen private publishing
houses. The Agricultural Report for last
■year —200,000 copies—with it 692 pages,
including thirty-six full pages of illustrations,
engraved on wood, and numerous small en
gravings, efe , bound in cloth —was turned
out at a cost of eighty four cents per copy.
The compositors receive $ 1 per day for
eight hours’ work, or sixty cents per thousand
ema when on piece work.
The bindery occupies tbe entire third floor
where one hundred men aud a large number
of women are constantly employed. There
are in this room embossing machines, smash
ing machines, standing presses, cutting ma
chines, ruling and backing machines, and all
the machinery necessary for the binding of
books.
On the fourth floor are eleven perfect fold
ing machines. There is also on tbe premises
a stereotyping department and a complete
machine shop. Two engines, one of forty
five ami the other fifteen horse-power, run
the machinery. In the press-room there are
twenty-five Adams’ presses, six cylinder
Hoe’s, and other presses to the number of
fifty-two.
Poor Binckley, the Solicitor of Internal
Revenue, has come to grief again. In his
zeal for the Democratic party he attempted
to ferret out something upon which to base
charges against the (Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, with a view to secure his re
moval from office. Disappointed in the
character of the testimony, he abused every
body associated with him, and was finally
kicked out of New York. To-day he has
been a long time at the White House to
have his wounds bound up by the President.
The Tennessee delegation arrived here
yesterday, and will have an interview with
the President to-morrow, when they will
urge the sending of more Federal troops into
that State. ’
Attorney General Ashton, to day render
ed a decision affecting a class of South
ern people. There are claims on file in the
Quartermaster General’s Deptartment
amounting to more than $30,000,000 for the
rent of premises and property used by the
army during the war. The Attorney Gen
eral decides that these claims can aot be
legally paid.
Special dispatches received from Colora
do and New Mexico show Republican gains
at the recent elections ; in Colorado a dele
gate to Congress was elected, and in New
Mexico, a legislature. Thus the ball con
tinues to roll. Capital.

Escaped Convict.
We clip the following from the Charleston
News of yesterday:
“ Mayor Clark received a letter on Satur
day from the Mayor of Augusta, stating that
Ralfe Knight, a colored convict, sentenced
to twelve months in the chain gang.for
burglary, had escaped, and it was thought
gone to Charleston. Mayor Clark handed
the letter to Lieutenant Hendricks, and in
half an hour Knight was bagged. He was
identified by an officer from Augusta, and
will be taken to that city to-day.”

Toothache can be cured by the following
preparation of carbolic acid :
To one drachm of collodium add two
drachms of Calvert’s carbolic aeid. A
gelatinous mass is precipitated, a small
portion of which, inserted in the cavity of
the aching tooth, invariably gives immediate
relief. s

County Treasurers.
The Governor’s message, vetoing the
Augusta Municipal bill, was read. After
a short discussion, the vote was called, and
resulted: yeas 90, nays 45. Being just a,
tic vote, the Speaker voted “no.” So the
veto was sustained.
The committee to investigate the claims
of certain colored men reported Vyall in

negro blood. The testimony read con
sisted of Fyall’s oath, who testified that
his father and mother were French people.
The other witness, Ally, swore he knew his
father and mother before Fyall was born .
his mother was a mulatto.
Fyall addressed the House, aud, using
improper language, was called to order.
A motion to recommit the report was

The previous question was called, when
several members were excused from voting
and several granted the privilege of with

The resolution declaring Fyall ineligible
