In the store window, at 190 Broad street,
may be seen life-like representations of
the Saratoga Grecian Bend walking and

Pomeboy’s description of the Bend. It is
very readable.
New Haven Directory.
We are under obligations to the publish
ers for a copy ot a Business Directory of
New Haven, Connecticut, for 1868. It is
prepared and printed by Messrs. J. H. Ben
ham <fc Son, and seems to be perfect in all its
departments. The Directory contains 14,000
names, being 1,206 over those of 1867.
Mammoth Fashion Plate.
We have received Mme. Demorest's semi,
annual mammoth Bulletin of Ladies and
Children’s Fashions for the Fall and Win*
ter of 1868-9. It is the most superb Fash
ion Plate we have ever examined. It is one
yard Jong and three quarters high, and is
accompanied with a key containing careful
descriptions, and seems really invaluable
to dress-makers and those interested in
ladies’ and misses’ apparel. There are
fifty-five full-sized figures of ladies and
children. This beautiful aud valuable plate
is on exhibition at 190 Broad street.

Our Book. Tublc.
We are indebted to the publishers for a
copy of the A’ew Eclectic, for October. It
is published in Baltimore, by Messrs. Law.
hence Turnbull A Fridgz Murdoch, at
Si per annum. It is well worth the money.
Harper's Monthly, for October, is also
hero. This is one of our favorites. It is
the people’s favorite. We can safely say
we have never seen an article in this maga
zine that was not readable.
Lippincott, for tho same month, is also
here, charming, as ever, in its every depart
ment. It is a decided success. The pres
ent number possesses a local interest to the
citizens of Augusta—a poem by Paul H.
Hayne, entitled, “ Under the Pinos ; to the
memory ot Henry Timrod.” Messrs. J. B.
Lippincott & Co., 715 and 717 Market
street, Philadelphia, are tho publishers of
this magazine.
Harper's Weekly is brimful of high-toned
and instructive literay matter, splendid po
litical editorials and side-splitting carica

Judge Levy, in Reply to the Miay’eprc
sentatione of the Kn-Klnx Editor. J
The editor of the Ku-Klux organ having ’
cogitated a week in deciding whether he j
would do justice to Samuel Levy, Ordinary, (
whom he had grossly libelled, finally deter- I
mined to makenn apology as mean as his ’
slanders were infamous, but declined to pub
lish the Judge’s good-tempered vindication |
of his official conduct. Io his moan apology, ’
on Sunday, the editor goes out of his way to
intimate that Messrs. Sueron and Bohler,
because they were not on oath, would not
give as truthful and conscientious advice as 1
if they were sworn officers. These gentle
men are Democrats, but we feel constrained
to say that the Ku-Klux editor’s fling is as
unjust as it is uncalled for.
Ordinary's Office, It. C., 1
Augusta, Sept. 14th, 1868. )
To the Editor* of the Chronicled Sentinel:
Ju Sunday’s issue of the Chronicle <(’•
Sentinel, I am astonished to find an editorial,
under the heading, “Work for the Grand
Jury,” a most unjust and unfair article,
severely criticising my official acts as -Ordi
dinary, and preferring charges of the most
groundless character against me As a mat
ter of simple justice, I ask that this brief
communication may reach the public eye
through flic medium the charges arc made.
Your first charge is that the bond of the
Receiver of Tax Returns should be “in double
the amount of taxes due in this county,
taking the taxes of the previous year as a
basis.” This charge is unjust and incor
rect. I quote Irwin’s Revised Code of
Georgia, Section 921, which says: “He
(the Receiver of Tax Returns) shall give
bond and security in the sutn equal to
one half of the amount of State tax supposed
to be due from the county for the year in
which ho shall give bond; the amount of
said bond to be filled up by the Conrptrfillir-
General before being sent out to the several
counties from the Executive office.” Thus
your readers will see that I had nothing to
do with determining the amount of the,
bond, and instead of double, it is only one"
4al/ of the amount of tax due from the
county.
Your next charge is that I have accepted
twice as many securities ae the law allows.
The Code again sustains me. See Section
141, which reads, “ Such bonds shall not be
approved by the approving officer, unless
mey have at least two good and solvent
sureties, and not more than ten, all of whom
must be permanent residents of the State,
end two also of the county, and freeholders
thereof; when said approving officers do
not, of their own knowledge, know that the
surety is worth enough to accept him, they
shall not take him unless he swears to his
means, and it is satisfactory, of which
swearing they shall make a minute on the
bond.” This law was strictly complied
Yvith, and the oath which I required the
sureties to take as to their pecuniary re
sponsibility, was carefully prepared by one
of the most eminent lawyers of this city, or
'•f Georgia, I must say that if the author
i the editorial, to which this is a reply, had
I taken the same trouble To ascertain the
responsibility of the sureties that I did, he
would not have fallen into the error which
I he has.
1 Tou complain that I only required a bond
1 rom the Receiver of Tax Returns of twenty
i ‘housand dollars. Thia bond is for /ire
thousand dollars more than was required of
my friend Mathew Slieron, which vva* ap
proved by Justices Bishop, Russell arid
Bothwell. ■
In relation to your charges about the in
sufficiency of the bond required of tho Coun
ty Treasurer; I will at present only remark
that the bond, with tho sureties, was ap
proved after, consultation with Messrs. John
A. Bohler and Mathew Bhcron, and that I
reserved the right, in their presence, to in
crease the amount of their bond whenever
in my judgment the interest of tho county
demanded it.
I will only add that, according to the re
commendation of tho Grand Jury, the tax
will be' only onejourtli what it Was last year.

Radway’s Regulating Pills are composed
of vegetable extracts (prepared in vacuo),
free from all inert, crude, or irritating sub
stances. The first dose commences its work
of purifying the blood, regulating the liver,
cleansing the stomach and intestines, and
purging from the system all acrimonious
and corrupt humors. One pill, taken two
hours before dinner, will create a good appe
tite and insure a healthy digestion.
Bile.— Bile on the stomach will be elimi
nated by one dose of the pills—say from four
to six in number. When the liver is in a
torpid state, nothing can be better than Rad
way’s Regulating Pills. They purge easily,
are mild in operation, and when taken are
perfectly tasteless, being elegantly coated
with gum. They aro receinftiended tor the
cure of all disorders of the stomach, liver,
kidneys, nervous diseases, indigestion, dys
pepsia, biliousness, bilious fever, inflamma
tion of the bowels, piles, and symptoms"
resulting from .the disorders of the digestive
organs.
The Aged suffer from costiveness and
paralysis of the bowels, and may have to use
injections to keep the bowels open. Take
two to four of Radway’s Fills every night;
in a few weeks the bowels, liver, kidneys,
etc., will be restored to sound health and
strength—a regular discharge from the bow
els will be secured daily.
