He honored our sanctum with his presence for a few minutes last night, and we were glad toa.c him look ing so well. —— proclamation and Official Order. Our readers will find in this morning a paper the Proclamation of Governor Bul lock and the official order of Gen. Meade, relative to the election in November. This document should be read by every man, woman aud child in the State. Bad «as. The light furnished this establishment and on the streets, for two or three nights past, by the Augusta Gas Company, has been of a very inferior quality. We hope the Superintendent of the Company will look to this matter, and sec that we are sup plied with a better quality and heavier pressure of gas in future. The WealJher. We enjoyed pleasant and beautiful whether on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday it became cloudy, and a slight shower of rain fell about noon. During Thursday night a strong north-easterly breeze sprung up and ushered in a cold, wet and very disa greeable “spell,” which continues up to the lime of putting our inside forms to press. An Intereatinv Report. We would call the especial attention of the public to the ably written report of Mr. Calvin, Superintendent of Public Schools for Richmond county, in this morning's paper. ‘•Now’, the Day and Now’s the Hour.’ Republicans I register. That is vour first duty. Lose no time. Register at once. Do not put it off longer. Delays arc dangerous. Remember t you cannot vote unless your name is duly registered. Every loyal vote will be needed in December. Lottery Swindle. Another lottery swindle, under the desig nation of the Soldier's Orphans’ Institute Scheme, has been unearthed in New York. We have taken the initial step in the effort to unearth a similar swindle here; and whether wc succeed or not, our expose of the institution will open the eyes of many of the uninitiated to its rascality. Sidewalk*. The New York Herald is very t< anxious to know whether the sidewalks of a that city belong to the old iron hucksters . and clam and oyster pedlers, or to the 11 public. The monopoly of the sidewalks and street crossings, in the vicinity of the market in this city, by hucksters, would lead a y stranger to suppose that they belong to the () said hucksters. Is it so ? If not, why arc they allowed to monopolize them ? v More Democracy. An amusing incident occurred, a few days ago, near the Upper Market, with one of the anti-negro-equality Democrats. Here t are the circumstances : A house was rented a by an ex-officer under the City Council, in t which he placed his companion. The wife t of the owner of the domicil found out that I the lady to occupy her beautiful new house j had coursing through her veins more than i nine-tenths African blood, whereupon she I repaired to the residence and demanded her io vacate, and did succeed in ousting the gentleman and lady, and being a Demoeratess 1 herself, made public her protest against the Democratic minister. i Bueincua- Our streets for several days past, and par- * ticularly on Thursday and Friday last, pre sented more the appearance of business than we have seen since the close of the war. Large numbers of wagons, laden with cotton and other produce, were everywhere to be seen; and merchants (of which there are quite a number doing business here, though but few have soul enough to advertise In a journal or do business with an office, con trolled by persons entertaining different politics from theirs), wore smiling and happy faces. We are glad to notice the fact/ It affords us sincere pleasure to mark the pro gress of our city’s prosperity, whether we keep pace with her in that respect or not. ■ ___ ■ Ila! Hal! Ha!!! We laugh at the impotent rage of the Atlanta and Augusta Radical organs, over a resolution passed by the good Democracy of the 153 d Militia District, of this county, offering cooperation with other districts in preventing Radicals and scalawags from making speeches for the purpose of creating strife between the race? —black and white. Yes, ye hirelings, we laugh. Manufacture capital for Grant out of that, if you can ; it will not deter men from duty to their wives and children.— Warrenton Clipper. We predict that, if there is sufficient force at the command of the officer of this Mili tary District—and we doubt not there is free speech and protection to all persons, whether known as Radicals and scalawags or Democrats, will hereafter be guaranteed, as well in “the 153 d Militia District’’ us elsewhere in Georgia. The “bully boy’ of the Clipper is a very Christian gentleman, and would not counsel strife under any cir cumstances. Not he! But wherein is the harm, pray, to prevent—even by assassina tion—those who honestly differ with him and his backers from expressing their political views ? Beautiful Fancy <-oa<la, In great variety, al 190 Broad street. J’auio.” Think—Reflect. Perhaps, at no former period in oue his fory, as a nation, have wc had stranger evi dences of the influence wielded over the masses by demagogues and bad men, whose only ambitiou is to advance their individual gains and elevate Io favor .md influence their own kith and kin. For lour long year* the sons and husbands of tho poor women of this land followed the wild teachings of Toombs, Cobb & Co., from the mountains to the seaboard, through snow and heat, rain and sunshine, marching faithfully on with bleeding foot, to the tune of starvation and death, hoping to realize the promises so sweetly sung by these men from high official positions. And, to-day, thousands of their orphans and widows are living monuments to the shame and disgrace of these same hungry politicians and enemies to the poor people of this country. What, now, have become ol the fair promises made by these false teachers, to induce the ignorant and unsuspecting to sanction secession ? Where are the fruits o! the four years of hardship and labor to be seen, except in the thou sands of destitute and lonely orphans and widows of your departed comrades, who roam this broad land in tatters and rags? And where, oh, where are those men who promised to give protection and care to these bereaved children ? Go lay those sufferings and wrongs before them, and ask, in the name of God and humanity, can they ever be relieved? Men of property, where'are the guarantees of protection promised for your four billion dollars of property now swept away and gone forever ? Poor men will you not take, one moment’s reflection before again assuming the responsibilities, hardships and cares to be again repeated by the strange and unreasonable teachings of these base and inhuman men? City Affairs. There is, at present, but. little interest manifested by the working men, merchants and tax payers of the city in the municipal election soon to take place. There is, however, considerable anxiety shown by disappointed office-seekers heavy tax payers, of course —and a few of the dandy gents who have heretofore been allowed to do pretty much as they please. Tho apathy among the merchants is owing to the fact that the taxes on their business have been considerably lightened by our present municipal authorities, and the real estate owners feel grateful that theirs have not been increased The good judgment dis. played in the management of the other departments of the city government give equal satisfaction. The only difficulty now in tho way of placing our finances in a healthy condition, is that quite a number of citizens have failed to pay their taxes. This state of tranquility will continue until the boss of the Ku-Klux organ, backed up by a mongrel horde of street corner pimps, begins to grind out thcr villainous notes of persecution and proscription against good citizens, many of whom will thereby, in self-defence, be forced to take an active part to gratify these little lords. r . —» —’ ‘ Wlio Want! to Het ?

The report concludes ’• “From what I could learn, the colored people and whites were peaceably disposed towards each other. In my investigation of this matter I was assisted by Major Howard, and upon my arrival at Camilla, the citizens of the place appeared desirous that the occur rences of the 19th instaut should be inves tigated. Up to the date of my visit here, no action had been taken by the civil authori ties of the county, nor had any inquest been held over the bodies of those killed.” General Howard endorses Sibley’s report to Schofield as follows; “'Sir — I have the honor to forward to you the affidavits sent me by General Sibley, with regard to the Camilla riot. The General says that no action whatever had been taken by the oivil authorities at this date, October Gth, toward bringing the guilty parties to punishment, and no inquest was held upon the bodies, j nor any investigation had been made, 1 except by this Bureau and Captain Mills, i by the order of the Commanding officer of. the District of Georgia, whose report hud ' been forwarded to the commanding officer of the Department of the South.” He further snys : “it is not believed pos sible to bring the guilty parties to punish ment through the civil authorities of Mitchell county, they beittg engaged in the affair and justifying it, and no unbiased jury could "be found in that county.” General Sibley makes no further remarks which relate to this riot, but simply submit the affidavits, together with a private letter 1 from an officer in that county, who makes a ' special request of him that it bo not pub- ; lished. 1 —• News from Washington.
