The shooting: Caec.
We regret to announce that a personal
difficulty occurred between two of our citi
zens, yesterday afternoon, near the Christian
Church, on Reynolds street—in which one
of them was badly shot'by Ihv other. The
assailant immediately gave himself up to the
authorities, and was admitted to bail.
There are conflicting rumors as to the
origin of the difficulty, and as the affair will
probably undergo legal investigation, we re
frain at present from comment.
Men Wanted.
The great want of the age is mon, who
are not for sale; men who are honest, sound
from centre to circumference, true to the
heart's core ; men who will condemn wrong
in friend or foe, in themselves as well as
in others ; men who can the tell the truth,
and look the world and the devil right in
the eye ; men that neither brag nor run ;
men who have courage without whistling
for it, and joy without shouting to bring it;
mon in whom the current of everlasting life
runs still ?nd strong; men too large for
sectarian limits, and too strong for sectarian
bonds 5 men who do not shiver or cry, nor
cause their voices to bo hoard in the streets,
but who will not fail nor be discouraged
till judgement be set upon the earth ; men
who know their message and tell it; men
who know their duty and do it; men who
know their place and fill it; men that will
not lie ; men who arc not too lazy to work,
nor too proud to be poor; mon who are
willing to eat what they have earned, and
wear what they have paid for.

Political Truths.
No man can be an honest believer in
equal rights and equal suffrage, and yet
vote to place the Government in control of
the party which has so bitterly opposed
both. No man can honestly desire recon
struction, and yet vote to entrust the Gov
ernment io a party controlled by copper
heads and rebels. No man can honestly
desire the safety, peace and honor of the
nation, and yet vote to entrust the Govern
ment to a set of men whd demand a coun
ter revolution and are only restrained from
demanding repudiation by a fear of defeat.
In brief, the Republican who votes a
Democratic ticket, as mutters now stand,
simply gives the lie to all his past profes
sions, abjures all his avowed principles, and
admits that some personal motive —ambi-
tion, passion, or prejudice—has more weight
with him than any re sard for principle.
Prise Fighting.
The English police have lately been quite
successful in their efforts to suppress prize
fighting, while the reverse has generally
been the case in this country, and, as a con
sequence, there has been a regular exodus
of the fighting fraternity to America. The
business is entirely exotic here. There are
few Americans among the votaries of the
‘ring.’ At the present time, quite a number
of coming fights are being freely advertised
in the papers, and as they come off, one
after another, the most respectable journals
sully their columns with minute reports.
There can hardly be anything more corrupt
ing and demoralizing, especially to the
young. Il England can put down prize
fighting, America can do it, and the law
against it should be rigidly enforced.
Pickling 'i'omuloeo.
Select ripe tomatoes, with unbroken skins.
Smooth ones are preferable. Put them into
a weak brine, and let them remain in it
thirty-six or forty-eight hours. Then put
them into a pickle composed of one part of
vinegar and two parts of soft water. These
proportions are for good strong vinegar.
Keep them pressed under the liquor. A bad
smelling scum frequently collects on the
surface, but it will not taint or hurt the fruit.
To prepare for use —wash, skin and sweeten
to taste.
This has bee/tried for years, and haabeen
found reliable and satisfactory. The testi
mony of all who eat of the fruit so prepared
is: “They taste so much like fresh toma.
toes.”
Enterprise.
What does it mean? Does it mean to
expend an immense amount of money with
the view of obtaining the golden egg, and
afterwards make people pay a large per
centage on tbc investment, provided it suc
ceeds ? Does it mean to work for nothing
but glory, trusting to posterity td do justice
to the memory of the foolhardy man, who
had Enterprise on the brain, and hoping to
break down competition and thereby get tbc
field to himself, and when that is done make
others pay the deficiency that lias been ex
pended ? Now wc like to see enterprise,
properly directed. We like to see every
man and every woman successful. But that
success must not be predicated on the idea
of breaking down every thing and every
body opposed to them in the business; for
the enterprise would inure to the injury of
many and to the advantage of one. Not a
street cleaner, scavenger, huckster, butcher,
or merchant, that would not like to have the
say and the do in this particular business,
who would not take advantage of the ncces.
silies of the people to make his own business
large and remunerative. If this is enter
prise, throw it to the dogs. The people at
large would rather be without it. They will
make more by casting it overboard.

The Illustration and Warning.
‘ Reconstruction is a failure,’ say the
Democratic journals, and they point to floor
gia as an evidence. So they pronounced
the war fer the Union a failure; the South
ern Democrats pronounced the Union a
failure, and the enemies of freedom have
time and again pronounced republican insti
tutions a failure. Rut, are they? Is this
what Democrats mean when they pronounce
reconstruction a failure, simply because the
old enemies of the Union and of free institu
tions oppose it ? If so, it is but another
manifesto oftho mad folly that has possessed
them for the last ten years. Let them not
be too fast and hopeful of the worst. The
Republican party, sustained by the patriotic
masses everywhere, have successfully op
posed the hosts of treason for seven years.
With the same support, they arc competent
to finish what they have begun —restore
peace and harmony, and secure credit and
prosperity to the nation. They can take
care o£ Georgia and liberalize Kentucky. It
was necessary to have both of these, that the
people might see, by their example, what
modern Democracy meaiis, ’and thus be
wnrned in time to avert fatal disaster. The
lessons will be heeded.
Democratic Trick.
Prominent Republicans have spoken of
the annoyance they have received recently
from reports put in circulation that they
had declared their intentions of voting for
Seymour and Blair. It must be a des
perate cause whose advocates seek to make
c upital for it by such paltry means. It is
a course of conduct which must react and
hurt only the cause it is intended to sup
port. Horatio had better write a letter
forbiding such conduct, and recommending
his friends to “ push the debt and taxa
tion.” True, they have already pushed
them up by their disloyal conduct to a
pretty high figure ; but it. is possible that
they may be able to push them u little
higher. They can try.
The JewiihNow Year.
Bosh Ilashanah commenced yesterday
evening, and will continue for two days, t,
until the stars make their appearance to
morrow evening
The Hebrew year consisted of •twelve
unequal mouths, which, previously to the
exile, were lunar. The twelve solar months
made up only 354 days, constituting
a year, too short by eleven days. To
remedy this, a month was intercalated every
two or every three years. This supplementary
month was added at the termination ol the
sacred year; the twelfth mouth being Adurt
the thirteenth was called Vendar, or Adar
the second. The year began with the month
Nissau, according to an express direction
given by Moses (Exod. xii., 2, ami Numbers
ix., 1); but this the Jews consider only the
commencement of the ecclesiastical year,
and the month of Tishri as the beginning of
the eivil year.
From Chambers' Payers for Ike People,
we extract the following description :
The period of Rosh Ilashanah is the most
solemn of the whole year. Scripture and
tradition unite in impressing upon it the
character of profound awe. The latter de
signates it as the anniversary of the creation
of the universe, and as the day when the
Supreme Being judges mankind, and pro
nounces their doom for the year to come. It
is, therefore, a period of repentance, for
which a month’s previous preparation is
made by additional prayers, services per
formed before daybreak, and the blowing of
theshofar. This primitive musical instrument
consists of a ram’s horn cleaned, smoothed j
and made bright by the known processes;
having a tapering shape, and bent like s
hook in the lower part, with a narrow
opening at the top, and a wide one at the
bottom. The shrill sounds to be produced
by it have been arranged into various
classes, each of which is designated by a
special name ; and the party appointed to
blow the horn must know these names, so
as to be able to sound the particular tone
required. Sacred as this festival is, it is
yet only preparatory to that celebrated on the
tenth of the month, culled the Day of
Atonement. The whole of the ten days are
for this reason called the Ten Days of Peni
tence, and the holy days themselves the
Days of Awe. The religious Jew looks for
the avent of that period with feelings of
rejoicing, mingled winglcd with uncom
mon awe and reverence. He prepares
himself for the due celebration of these
festivals by a scrupulous self-examination,
by the endeavor to compensate for any
wrong he might have inflicted, to obtain
the pardon of those be might have offended,
and by fasting and penance for the purpose
of expatiating the sins committed, lie holds
that the Day of Atonement expatiates only
sins committed against God, but does not
affect offences committed against fellow
men, unless their pardon be previously ob
tained. Touching instances are recorded
of individuals high in station, and eminent
for learning, having at the approach of the
Days of Awe humbly and repeatedly craved
the pardon of persons in every reqpect
their inferiors for the use of an opprobrious
expression uttered in the heat of passion.
Before draybreak a public service is held
in the synagogue, and in the afternoon, be
fore the advent of the festival of the new
year, another is performed, after which the
religious bathe. The evening service is not
distinguished by any particular feature.—
At the evening meal, some rare fruit, com
ing in season, and an apple with new honey,
are always present. The eating of the
former is preceded by the solemn benedic
tion, ‘Blessed art thou, O Lord our God,
who has kept us alive, and preserved us,
and allowed us to attain to this period.’—
The eating of the latter is typical of a sweet
new year. The morning service begins at
daybreak : the faithful hasten to the syna
gogue before tasting food. The devotion
with which he implores divine mercy for
the forgiveness of hissins is most exemplary.
With his ample prayer-boolr before him, he
turns his face toward the wall, and wraps
himielf up so completely in his scarf that
nothing but his face remains uncovered.
The more scrupulously religious put on
the white robe mentioned above, and those
officiating in the service always appear in it.
The most sacred part of the service, as
mentioned before, is the blowing of tbc
shofar. It is the duty of each adult Israelite
to hear its son nd, and no one in good health
would venture to break bis fast before his
ear has caught the sounds of the shofar.
An awful stillness prevails before this part
of the service begins, during which every
one prepares himself in silence for the act,
while a special prayer is offered up by the
party appointed to blow the horn. At last
the solemn silence is interrupted by the bid
ding of the minister, “blow and" the sum
mons is obeyed. Thrice the minister bids,
and thrice the horn sounds, after which a
prayer is recited, when the same ceremony is
twice repeated.

[From the Atlanta Constitution.
The Georgia Legislature.
Atlawta, September 15.
SENATX.
Mr. Urock moved to reconsider so much
of the journal ol yesterday as related to the
action of the Senate on the rejection bf the
bill to amend the oath of grand jurors.
On motion to reconsider the yeas and nays
were taken. There being a tie, the Presi
dent voted yea, and the motion to reconsider
prevailed.
The House bill authorizing the Governor
to borrow money for the payment of officers
and members of the General Assembly,
which the Senate committee amended by
adding the words “and other expenses,” was
taken up.
Mr. Candler moved to amend the bill so
as the amount borrowed should not exceed
$200,000, and' the rate of discount uot to
exceed 7 per cent.
The amendment was lost, and the report
of the committee agreed to.
The bill, as amended by the committee,
was passed, and ordered to be transmitted.
Mr. Moore, of the joint committee ap
pointed to examine the books of the late
Comptroller General and Treasurer of tho
State, was read, taken up, and adopt
ed, and ordered to be transmitted to the
House.
The report proves that no money has been
misapplied.
Senate then took up the special order,
which was the House bill granting State aid
to the Air Line Railroad.
Mr. Holcombe spoke in favor of the bill.
Mr. Nunnally opposed it on the ground
that the Legislature had no right, under the
Constitution,To extend aid to any railroad,
until certain provisions shall have been com
plied with, of which, in the present instance,
no evidence had been shown.
Mr. Welborn argued that the bill complied
with tho requirements of the Constitution,
and was in harmony with the interests of
the people.
Mr. Brock followed iu favor of the bill.
He thought it would be one of the best pay
ing roads in the United States.
Pending the discussion of the bill the rules
were suspended, and House res dufion ex
pressing the sense of that body on the death
of Hou. W. A. Ballard, one ol its members,
was received and read.
The Senate concurred in the resolution,
and adjourned in respect to the deceased.
- House.
Mr. Bethune moved to reconsider the ac
tion of the House iu the passage of the sub
stitute offered by Mr. Duncan, providing the
manner of drawing juries—3-aid substitute
continuing in force the law as it now stands
in Irwin’s Code, with Constitutional provi
sions. He spoke in favor of the motion to
reconsider; said the substitute could never
become a law; it would never pass the
Senate and the Governor.
The motion to reconsider prevailed,
Mr. Williams, of Dooly, moved to recon
sider so much of the proceedings ol yester
day as relates to the bill to reduce the bonds
of county officers. This bill was indefinitely
postponed yesterday.
Mr. O’Neal spoke in favor of the motion to
reconsider, because the great bulk of the
property in the State had been destroyed, and
the people were not now able to give large
bonds. The Homestead protects so many
people that if it was necessary to get a good
bond in many counties it should be reduced.
The previous question was called, and the
yeas aud nays required, and were yeas 71,
nays G 4. So the motion to reconsider pre
vailed.
On motion of Mr. Shumate, the message
of his Excellency was taken up and read.
It was a veto of the Augusta Municipal bill.
The veto states that the objections to the bill
are of a Cunstitulioiml character.
Mr. Shumate called die previous question,
and the vote was taken on the bill to pass
over the Governor’s veto, and resulted as
follows: Yeas IW, nays 45. It being a tie,
the Chair voted in the negative, and the bill
failed to pass over the Governor’s veto.
The Committee appointed to investigate
the eligibility of the four remaining colored
members who claim to have less than one
eighth negro blood, report that Fyall, of
Macon county, has more than one eighth
negro blood iu his veins, and therefore they
recommend that he be declared ineligible to
a sent iu this House.
Mr. Bryant called for the evidence.
The Chair ruled that it was not neoes
sary to produce tho evidence, us the com
mittee was appointed for the purpose of
examining it.
Mr. Rawls then moved that the evi
dence be read, as it was short, to satisfy all
parties.
The evidence was read.
Fyall swore that his parents were French,
and came to South Carolina during the
days of nullification.
Mr. Alley swore that he knew Fyall well;
that his mother was a mulatto; that she
was half white and half negro, and that he
could produce three hundred persons that
would swear to these facts. Fyall was sold
to Judge Lochrane before the war, and also
to Dr. Thomson.
The yeas aud nays were required, and
resulted as follows: Yeas 22, nays 0—
Republicans refusing to vote.
Byall's seat was declared vacant.
A communication was read announcing
the death of the Hon. W. A. Ballard, of the
county of Monroe, a member of this
House.
Mr. Phillips offered resolutions on the
death of Mr. Ballard, and moved the House
do adjourn till to-morrow morning nt nine
o'clock in honor of the memory of this
gentleman.
A committee was appointed to accom
pany the remains to the family burying
ground in the county of Jasper, consisting
ofMessrs. Phillips, Lane and Glover.
Mr. Harper moved to take up the resolu
lution amended iu the Senate, authorizing
the Governor to borrow money to pay the
members of the Legislature, nnd called the
previous question. The vote was taken,
and the resolution, as amended, was
adopt ed.
Mr. Scott wanted the yeas and navs
called.
The motion to call the yeas and navs was
lost.
Mr. Shumate—There is a resolution to
give Mis’s Williams, of Cblumbus, and Miss
Green, of Ressaca, a free pass over theq
State Road, acted upon iu (he Senate,
move that we concur in this resolution- Con
curred in.
Mr. Dunean, from the committee to inves
tigate the books of the former Treasurer and
Comptroller-General, announced that the
report was ready, and moved that a suffi
cient number of copies be printed lor the
use of the House, and laid before the House
to-morrow, which motion prevailed.
On motion of Mr. Sanssy, the House ad
journed, in respect to the memory of Hon".
Mr. Ballard, till to-morrow morning, nine
o’clock.
