As this is the first of October—a general moving day—we would suggest to such of subscribers as may change their residence, to notify us of the fact at once, so that our carriers may be instructed v,' re to leave their papers. Augusta Methodist Union. The Board of Managers of the Augusta Methodist Union will meet at the Lecture Room of St. John’s Church, this afternoon. See notice in another column. City Keglstrution. The Commissioners of Registration desig nated by the act of the Legislature, ordering an election for municipal officers of Augusta, give notice through our advertising columns, this morning, that they will open the City Registry on Monday, the Sth instant, for the registration of all voters of the city. The oath which each voter will be required to take is given, so that, by reading the oath, each person can see for himself whether or not he is a voter. ? ♦ Collector and Treaiurer’c Notice. Dr. Garvin, Collector and Treasurer of the city, has an earnest and emphatic notice to tax payers in this morning’s Re publican. Wc have reason to know that the Doctor means business, and that delinquents will find the City Ordinances rigidly enforced. There has been a most shame ful persistence in non-payment of taxes by some of the people, which we hope, for our city credit, is now at an end. Accommodation for Democrats. In anticipation of the complete and over whelming destruction of the Democratic party on the 3d of November next, one of our enterprising liverymen has obtained a splendid hearse, evidently for the accommo dation of dead Democrats. “Not a drum was heard, nor a funeral note, As his corse to tho ramparts we hurried, Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot O’er tho grave of the hero wo buried.” ■*. Moving Day. This being the first day of October, every body and everybody else will be moving, or in some manner changing base. We notice in our perambulations, an Broad and other streets, that numerous stores and places of residence are being fitted up, remodelled ami in some manner altered to suit the taste of some new lessee or the requirements of a change ot business. Improvement seems to be the order of the day in Augusta, and we can boast of as fine stores as any city South. While on this subject, we would suggest to our merchants to adopt some other day to move beside the Ist of October. It seems to us that during the summer months, or some time outside the business season would be better to change the location than the very month when the heaviest trade in the year is done. We know that a vast deal of trade is lost by this very cause. The country people, in coming in for their Winter sup plies in the month ot October, are either compelled to seek the new place of the mer chant or get their goods elsewhere, thereby causing a loss to the merchant of a good customer. Reflect on this, merchant and property-owner. - 1 lie I.oderjr Case—Decision of Jus tice Flliuizy. As we stated would be the case in our [ast issue, the lottery affair came up before Justice Phiniry, at 9 o’clock yesterday morning. Tbe first case was that of Andrew Abels, the lad mentioned yesterday as being about thirteen years of age. The lottery dealers charged a criminal collusion be tween the holder of the prize tickets and a lad named Moore, who acted for the dealers in drawing the tickets from the wheel. Rcdler testified that he witnessed the drawing, but saw no foul'’play. Tbe de fence did not Cud it necessary to call any witness, as the prosecution bad made no case. The indictment against the other lad, Strobi.e, was abandoned. Athough the conduct of these young sters in purchasing lottery tickets is very reprehensible, we rejoice that tho demoral izing institution known as the Georgia State Lottery did not recover a dime from them. The boys are now ahead of this and all other gambling concerns, as we hope, and we earnestly advise them never to risk another cent on any game of chance. You are ahesd, boys. Now, keep ahead. This entire lottery system is a swindle. The so-called Georgia State Lottery is con ducted on false pretences, and obtains its principal receipts from those least able to lose a cent of their small earnings. It falsely claims to be intended to aid the Masonic Orphan's Home. The highly honorable and honest Masonic fraternity have repeatedly repudiated the concern and denounced its managers. Yet they impudently parade their charitable pur. poses befote an outraged public. All lotteries in Georgia are in palpable violation of the Constitution of Georgia. Ihe claim that this Georgia concern has vested rights above and beyond the Constitu tion is a most extraordinary assumptibn. A vested right to obtain a living off the credu. lous and illiterate in the name of Masonry, forsooth ! Wp hope some measures will be taken to effectually abate this open and no torious gambling. ®l«t Newapapera Can be had at this office for fifty cents per hundred. A Noted Thief Killed. For some mouths past, the citizens about the Falla Mills, on the Canal bunks, have been scarcely able to keep a fowl about their premises. Turkies, chickens and pigeons were constantly and mysteriously disappear ing, with no clue to the identity of the cun ning thief. Messrs. Nelson & Mcllwains, lost as many as fifty chickens and one hundred pigeons. The attention of tho Police was directed to these depredations, and although those offi cials made every exertiou, they could not discover the guilty parties. On Tuesday night, however, Mr. Mu- Ilwaine kept watch, thinking perhaps the thief may have run short of provisions, and attempt to replenish his ill-gotten supply. .Sure enough, late at night, the thief was observed noiselessly climbing up to the pigeon boxes. The report of a shot gun, and the death of the marauder oc curred at the sumo time. When a light was brought, the thief was discovered to be one R. A. Kuux, a well-known character in their community ever since 1840. We have not heard -whether Coroner RiiytiES held an inquest over the body, but presume he did. COMME R C I A L AUGUSTA MARKETS.

New York Cotton iteview. New York, Sept. 25, 1868. Our own market for tho week under review has been without activity, and tho tendency de cidedly in favor of the buyer. The bulk of the sales have been to spinners, who contiiiuu to buy from hand to uioulli, and find no encouragement in the goods market for more extensive pur chases ; some of the mills have reduced their consumption one-third, and stories of “short time" being generally adopted are freely circu lated. The decline in gold and sterling and rather higher freights havo restrained the opera tions of exporters in spite of the decline in cur rency prices. Tho stock here remains extremely small, and affords but a poor selection to buyers of any kind. Good Cottons have continued scarce, and commanded very full rates, tho grade of the new Cotton coining in being a disappoint ment to those who anticipated a repetition of last year’s early shipments. Tho bulk of the receipts at this point thus far class about Low Middlings. For Middling Cotton there has been some little inquiry, but the supply on sale has been remarkably small, and mostly in parcels to arrive. Low Middlings have sold close to quo tations, and are in fair demand ; Good Ordina ries are srarco and find a ready market at export prices, which holders seem willing to accept. Poor Cottons have mostly dissappoared, and the demand for them from spin ners has been irregular, and sates made cover a wide range of prices. Sales for delivery have been on a more limited scale than of late, and for December we hear of only one sale at 23c , basis of Middling. Offers to sell at 25c. for October are freely made without buyers, the irregularity of gold cutting off any foreign de mand. Dock cottons remain a feature of the market, and sales from tho pier have been, as a rule, about Jo. bclaw the currency of store delivery. Very large offerings of cotton “to arrive” have been made, and buyers have only been found at a reduction of one cent from spot prices. The interior markets seem extremely sensitive to tho fluctuations here, but from a variety of points we learn that planters held oil' as soon as prices went belovj 20c. for Middlings, and at that point tho spinners' limited orders were far in excess of the supply on sale. That Liverpool should decline on her present small stock seems rather surprising, if tho position of American cotton only be considered; but an immense quantity of Indian is now due, and no doubt its arrival would relieve that market to some extent, as it seems a well established fact that excessive arrivals are always over dis counted.

SENATE. The General Appropriation bill was read the second time and referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. Smith, ol the 36th, moved to recon sider so much of the Journal as relates to the action of the Senate on the bill to aid and encourage the enforcement of the laws. Senate refused. . The Committee on the Tax bill reported that they could not agree. A minority report from the Committee on the Western and Atlantic Railroad was read. On motion to take up the bill a great deal of discussion arose between the friends and opponents of the present administration. The Chair decided that the Senate being engaged in reading bills for the third time, this being a House bill on third reading, a simple majority was sufficient to take it up. Mr. Nunnally believed that as we are en gaged in reading Senate bills for the third time, a House bill cannot be taken up with out a suspension of the rules. He, there fore, appealed from the decision of the Chair. On the appeal the yeas and nays were taken and resulted—yeas 20, nays 18. So the decision of the Chair was sus tained. On the motion to take up the bill the yens and nays were required, ami resulted—yeas 29, nays 18. Those voting in the affirmative are Messrs. Adkins, Bowers, Brock, Colman, Corbitt, Dickey, Griffin of tho 6th, Harris, Higbee, Jones, Jordan, Merrill, McArthur, McWhor ter, Richardson, Sherman, Smith of the 7th, Speer, Stringer, Welch—2o. Those voting in the negative are Messrs. Adams, Bruton, Burns, Candler, Collier, Gignilliat, Griffin of the 21st, Hinton, Hol combe, Hungerford, Lester, MsCutchen, Moore, Nesbit, Nunnally, Welborn, Winn, Wooten—lß. So the bill was taken up and laid ou the table for the balance of the session. BILLS ON THIRD READING. A bill to change Ibe time of holding Su perior Courts of Coweta Circuit. Passed. The Committee of conference on the tax bill reported their inability to agree, and recommended the appointment of a new committee of conference. A motion to lay the report on the table was defeated. The report was then adopted. A bill to provide for the payment of teach ers for the year 1868. Laid on the tabic. A bill giving liens on saw-mills to persons furnishing limber to such mills. Passed. Senate adjourned to 3 o’clock. house. Mr. Morgan moved to reconsider so much of the proceedings of yesterday as related to the sale of lottery tickets. He spoke in favor of reconsideration. Mr. Caldwell spoke in opposition to the motion to reconsider. He called the pre vious question and was sustained. The yeas and nays were required and resulted —yeas 66, nays ft'J. Motion to reconsider was lost. Mr. Flournoy moved to reconsider the uctiou of the House in the passage of the bill to amend an act entitled an act to give liens to landlords and others, and tu extend the provisions of that act to farmers Motion prevailed. Mr. Kytle moved to reconsider the pro ceedings of yesterday, changing tbe lines between the counties of White and Haber sham. Motion prevailed. The new member, Thomas D. Wilcox, from the county of Irwin, jnst elected, was sworn in. j\ message from his Excellency, the Governor, stating that he had signed the resolution authorizing the payment of R. H. Fleming, late Clerk, deceased, from the commencement of his services, was received and read. The special order of the day was taken up and read, it was tbe bill to amend the charter of’the Atlanta Medical College. On motion, a memorial from the Faculty of this College was read. A memorial was presented from Dr. Thus. S. Powell. Mr. Scott, of Floyd, objected to the me morial, and thought as it was signed by one man it was not proper for him to come in and make a speech in the form of a memo rial to this House. This man too, a nr.au who had been ousted by the Faculty, he comes out here ten years after the passage of this bill, and asks that it be repealed. He acquiesced eight years in this law, and when the Faculty, for soma cause, removed him, he conies here and makes this com' plaint, that this law is a fraud. One of the Trustees was a member of tbe General As sembly when this law was passed. Motion was made to lay the memorial of Dr. Powell on the table, and was lost. Mr. Scott, of Floyd, made a point of order that Mr. Harper, of Terrell, had the floor, aud gave way to have the memorial of the Faculty read, and that he was entitled to the floor before the memorial from Dr. Powell was read. The Chair ruled that the gentleman from Terrell would have the floor after tbe memo rial of Dr. Powell was read. The memorial was read. Mr. Harper, of Torrell—We have nothing to do with this family quarrel among the doctors- It does appear that this man, who lias lust bis position, comes up bare and asks the Kcgislaturc to resolve itself into a court aud hear grievances. It appears to me that the Faculty is the proper power to say who shall or shall not fill chairs in this College. This is a proper ease fur the courts. Why should we take it in hand ? He moved to postpone the bill indefinitely. Mr. Scott, of Floyd, obtained the floor, but gave way for adjournment. SENATE—AFTERNOON SESSION. The rules were suspended for the purpose of reading certain House bills fur the first time. BILLS ON THIRD -READING. Bill to prescribe the mode of electing tbe Mayor and Members of Council of tbe city of Atlanta. Mr. Winn offered a substitute to this bill.

Mr. Scott, of Flayed, had the floor, and spoke at length on the motion to postpone the bill indefinitely. He called the pre vious question, which was not sustained. Mr. Crawford—l have taken pains to ask monos eminence about this matter. I had a conversation with a gentlemen as I came to this House this evening, and he stated that by all means this bill should pass. They talk about this matter being in tbe court. If Mr. Lewis’ statement is correct, this bill should pass, because the law as it is is a fraud. Mr. Barnum claimed the right to speak for the medical fraternity ; thought that it was necessary to repeal the law. 11$ read a manuscript speech at length on the subject. Mr. Fort spoke in favor of a repeal of the amendment. Mr. Maul was in favor of repeal, aud read n speech on the subject, reviewing the argu ments for and against the question. Previous question called, and vote taken ou the motion to postpone indefinitely. Mr. Sisson s.»id that he did not desire to espouse tbe cause of either side ; that it was his desire to see this matter settled, nnd he therefore offered ii substitute for the bill, adding Genetai John B. Gordon, General Howell Cobb, and other distinguished gen tlemen, to tho Board of Trustees. He thought this was the proper plan to settle this differ ence, and hoped that die House would adopt the substitute. The vole w.is then taken on tbe substitute, and it was lost. The vote was then taken on the bill, and it passed. Tho House adjourned till 10 o’clock to morrow. Advertisement. St. It. It. Radway’s Regulating Pills are composed of vegetable extracts (prepared in vacuo), free from all inert, crude, or irritating sub stances.

The Senate Committee on the investiga tion of the action of the Board of Regis trars, reported yesterday that the Board of Registrars of which William Baker is chair man has given instructions to various Boards of Supervisors throughout the State that they are •wholly unwarranted in the theory, and entirely beyond the law of registration ; that their action in refusing to recognize naturalization papers from the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh Dis trict CoOrts, was wrong, the Board having no power to pass judgment upon the validity of a judicial act; and these instructions de prive persons of the benefit of article ninety nine of the Constitution, which deprivation is unjust and clearly against the Constitu tion.
