Have you Itcgiatcred ?
What Republican cannot answer this
question in the affirmative? If you cannot,
register at once. Don’t procrastinate. Pro
crastination is the thief of time. You may
be sick to-morrow, or next week. Withou
a certificate of registration, you can neither
vote for Mayor or member of Council. You
are all vitally interested in the municipa
election. A lot of hungry D< .uocratic ex
officials are now greedily waiting to get hold
of the city, 30 that they can crush every
Republican in the city, or who has ever
expressed any sympathy for our party. They
may wheedle and talk smooth as oil, but
that is their ultimate object. You have the
power to defeat and destroy their mischievous
schemes; but to do that, you must register.
Remember, that if you have resided in the
State one year and in the city for six months,
you are a voter. You know whether or hot
Augusta is your home. You may have been
temporarily away. There are few persons
who have not been temporarily absent from
the city during the past year, under some
pretext or another. We do not desire any
Republican to attempt to register, who does
not feel himself fully entitled to register
under the law. But if. you feel yourself
entitled to vote, the first step necessary is, to
register.
“Jloni Soil qui nial y Penae.”
We learn that soon afier the appearance
of the Report of the Engineer of the City
Water Works, in yesterday’s Republican,
there was considerable anxiety manifested
by the ladies in regard to the payment of
their husband's taxes!
In a Horn !
Dr. Bard says “it has become a proverb
that the A’ra is the great moderator in
Georgia.’’ We would like to know with
whom (except the Doctor himself) has his
assertion become a proverb ? No one in
this part ot the country ever heard of it
before.
Hold Up.
The Era, which it cannot be denied Jra«
done more, perhaps, for the cause than'all
the papers of the South combined, is still
relied upon as the hope of Republicanism in
Georgia.— Atlanta Era.
Well, that is decidedly refreshing. The
Doctor has the happy faculty of always
keeping in good humor with himself! It
was for a long time in doubt which side the
Era would eventually espouse ; and even
now, its Republicanism is so fine spun that
it is difficult to distinguish its real char
acter.
Is it True !
“'We have heard it hinted—and would be
glad to get at the truth of the matter—that
the editor of a Democratic journal in At
lanta, not long since, proposed to advocate
the election of Grant and Colfax for a pe
cuniary consideration.’’
The Augusta National Republican of
the 14th instant contains the foregoing. We
opine “the truth of the matter' to be that
there is no truth at all in the charge "hinted”
at. What “Democratic journal in Atlanta”
does the Radical journal in Augusta refer
to? We pause for a reply.— Atlanta Intel
ligencer,
We opine that there is truth in the charge;
but as we are not at liberty to give our
authority, would refer our respected extem
porary to Col. Carey W. Styias, who ap.
pears to be well posted in regard to the
urmeuvers of Democratic politicians.
. . -e- •
Hu Hock Organ.
The Augusta Republican, the organ of
Bullock and Radicalism, is to be moved to
Atlanta. The grinder of the concern, old
Cutting. Secretary of State, lives in Atlanta,
and besides, Bard, of the Era, has not sense
or common honesty sufficient to grind an
organ, oven for a nigger party.
We copy the above from the Columbus
N««, of late date, for the purpose of saying
that the reported removal of this journal to
Atlanta has riot been determined upon, and
that “ ttld Cutting, Secretary of State,”
has not now, and has not for several months
past, been connected in any manner with
it, except in the relation of a subscriber.

No llnrbccuc.
The Committee appointed by the Demo
cratic Club of Newton comity to consider
the propriety of giving a barbecue in Cov
ington, at their meeting on Tuesday last,
decided that it was inexpedient, in view of
the present excited state of the public mind,
to hold mass meetings, or have any more
public speaking during the campaign.
Therefore, there will be no public barbecue
given, as was contemplated. All good citi
zens will seek to avoid excitement, rather
than to endanger the public peace by aggra
vating the already too bitter animosities of
the people. If there are any of our people not
yet decided as to how theywill vote, they
will do well to stay away from the polls, and
leave the voting to those who know the im
portance of the issues involved. — Covington
Enterprise.
Sensible conclusion, truly ; and one
which we hope will become wide-spread, if
not universal, at the South. Let the people
stay away from barbecues aud political
meetings, ami go to work with the determi
nation to better their own condition. Culti
vate kindly feelings,-one towards another,
and thus let each do his part to obliterate
the “ bitter animosities” which are fast sap
ping the foundation of security, and render
ing us but little better than savages.
Latest Style Hats and Bonnett.
Mrs. Pughb, 190 Broad street, has just
received an assortment of Hatsand Bonnets,
inedufing the “ Grecian Bend.’’
Beautiful fancy l.oodt.
In great variety, at 190 Broad street.
Muonic,
There are twenty-five Masonic bodies
which meet weekly in Boston, |ud almost
forty that meet in the villa'gen and cities ad
joining that great centre of New England,
in this connection, wc would earnestly en
treat our brethren hereabouts to banish from
their hearts and lodge-rooms every feeling
partaking of utikindness. Do not mention
I uliti.es within the sacred walls. Let Mas
ters make their Lodges attractive by socia
bility, and not mere machines. Let all have
more chances of social intercourse. Il will
weld anew the chains of friendship and
brotherly love.

A Curious Story.—Yesterday, a Ger
man named Cadell, was engaged to do some
work in a butcher shop in Market square.
While so engaged, a neighbor came in and
asked why he had not returned a hatchet
he had borrowed from- him a few days be
fore. Cadell replied that he had returned
it. This the neighbor denied, and notwith
standing Cadell’s protestation, insisted that
he had not done so. Cadell grew consider
ably excited over the accusation, and after
some words with the neighbor, said very
loudly, “1 did bring it back to you the very
night I got it, and 1 hope God will choke
me dead with this piece of meat if I didn’t.”
At the same time he placed in his mouth a
piece of raw beef, which without chewing
he bolted. The beef evidently lodged in
the man’s windpipe, for at once he began
to gasp as if for breath, and to grow black
in his face. A number of persons gathered
about, but none of them seemed able to
render the man any assistance, and it seem
ed as though he would surely die. Some
body had the presence of mind to run to
the police station, and officer McDonald
went down. He opened the man's mouth,
using considerable force to do so, and run
ning his fingers down his throat pulled out
the meat. 21 shower of cold water brought
Cadell to, but he had about as close an
escape from death as one would wish for.
As he came to his senses again, Cadell
looked at his neighbor and in a most sor
rowful tone said : “I did bring back your
hatchet.” The neighbor concluded by this
time he had done Milwaukee Paper, Oc
tober 8, 1868.

In all the riots and collisions between
blacks and whites in the Southern Slates,
growing out of politics, two facts are con
spicuous ; -first, the whites always seem to
be thoroughly prepared for a tight, and,
second, none but blacks are ever killed. Do
not these circumstances show pretty clearly
which side is responsible for these colli
sions?—A’. I'. Times.

Another Democratic Manifesto.
Atlanta. October 16.—The Democratic
Executive Committee o( Georgia issued the
following to-day :
It having been represented by Republican
speakers in the present canvass that the
Southern people favor the re-establishment of
slavery, by the respective States depriving
them of the right of suffrage, therefore, for
the purpose of meeting this allegation, and
giving it positive denial,
Itesolved by the Central Committee of the
Democratic Carty of Georgia, representing
the People of the State, That the charges are
unequivocally false, for evidence that they
do not desire the re-establishment of slavery,
and could not effect it if lliey would. They
refer to the fact that this Stale has assented
to and ratified the amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States forever abol
ishing slavery and involuntary servitude,
except for crimes, whereof the party shall
be legally convicted ; that we reiterate the
position taken bv this Committee in the
late address, and by the report of
of the committee on the state of the repub
lic, which was adopted by the House of
Representatives of this State on the 26th
ultimo; also endorse lhe address ot Gen.
Robert E. Lee and others in response to
the Idler of Gen. Rosencrauz ; that we sub
mit to the present status of the colored race
among us, and will protect them to th a ex
tent of our power, in the right of suffrage
secured to them by lhe Constitution of the
United States and Amendments thereto,
and by the Constitution awl Laws of this
State. Signed,
E. G. Cabaniss, Chairman.
News from Washington.
Washington, October 16.—Only four
Senators and eleven Representatives are
here.
Wade and Colfax adjourned both Houses
to the 10th of November.
Potent party leaders express themselves
regarding the proposed change of candidates
that it is unwise, impracticable, and equiva
lent to disbanding the Democratic forces.
If a change is made, it will be in obedience
to an absolute withdrawal by lhe candidates.
The Democratic Committee say the official
count is necessary to decide the Pennsylva
nia election.
The latest returns from Indiana give
Baker five hunered majority. Ono county
is unheard from, which went Republican
last year.
Voorhees' election is now doubtful. Ju
lian's district is also close. It is claimed
for the Democrats.
From Pennsylvania, there is no new
figures. The Republicans still claim it by
fifteen thousand.
From Ohio, there is nothing now.
Dispatches from Indiana indicate it almost
certain that Voorhees and Julian are elected,
and fix Baker’s majority at 1,000.
Hancock's headquarters have been r< ■
moved to New York.
The following is tbo answer to a dispatch
from lliis city, asking whether the proposition
for n change of candidates was prompted by
the New York Democracy:
New York, October 15.
Jonah D. Iloucer, Washington :
No authority ot probability to change
front. All our friends consider it totally im
practicable, mid equivalent to disbanding
our forces. We of New York are not panic
stricken. [Signed],

FROM NEW ORLEANS.
The Times in Eavor o/ a Withdrawal of
Candidates.
New Orleans, October 1G, —This morn
ing’s Times has a leader based on the tele
graphic report that the World recommends
the withdrawal of General Biair from the
ticket. It says: “Such a suggestion,
confined, as it is, to one of the Democratic
standard-bearers, presents an invidious
aspect. If there be good grounds for the
withdrawal of General Blair, there are
equally good grounds for the withdrawal of
Governor Seymour. Both of these gentle
men are more ambitious of making the cause
successful than of becoming themsrdves the
recipients of personal honors, and certainly
neither of them would like to be in any
manner associated with the organization of
defeat. We remember with what reluctance
Governor Seymour permitted himself to be
put in nomination for the Presidency, and
are satisfied that he would feel relieved it in
any honorable manner ho could transfer to
Other and broader shoulders the responsibil
ity under which lie now labors. Nor can we
imagine for a moment that the gallant and
patriotic Gen. Blair would present any obsta
cle to such n change in the political pro
gramme us would furnish new assurance of
success to the principles enumerated in the
Democratic platform. Harmouious and
effective nctiou is what is specially desired.
The West and South would be satisfied
with the withdrawal of General Blair if
Governor Seymour ware to remain on the
ticket. In order to satisfy all sections, and
at the same time show the undiminished
confidence of the Democratic chieftains in
the two gentlemen selected by the New
York (Convention to champion the cause of
the people in the approaching Presidential
contest, we suggest to the
Democracy of the land the propriety ot
leaving to Governor Seymour aud General
Blair the high honor of selecting their own
successors in the canvass.
The old Democratic battle cry has always
been ‘principles and* not mon,’’ and the
policy of adhering to that cry, as well in
letter as in spirit, was never more clearly
apparent than at present. Furthermore,
we beg leave to suggest that whatever is
done should be done quickly. Ihisis no
time to wrangle about forms, or to bring
together conventions from the exirentes of
the republic. The people can look forward
with confidence to the statesman of the
North and the hero of the West for a patri
otic solution of the existing difficulty. It
is the gordian knot which isnow presented ;
wc cannot wait to unravel it, it must be cut
by one swift sharp blow.

Great Britain.
Selocto'l Dispatch.]
London, October 11.—Mr. Gladstone’s
address to the electors of South Lancashire
is praised by the Liberal organs, who con
trast its frank and positive tone with .the
vague and negative utterances of Mr.
D’lsraeli. The Tory journals do not take
up the ‘‘No Popery” cry. of the Premier, but
rest the claims of their parly in the Parlia
mentary canvass on the brilliant foreign
policy of the Ministry, the success of the
Abyssinian war, the necessity for the defence
ol the Church of England troin the dangers
by which it is men iced, and the maintenance
ol the strictest economy in the public ex
penditures. On (he latter point, however,
they are sharply assailed by lhe Whigs, who
point out the wide inconsistency which
exists between lhe precepts ami practice of
the party in power.
The Chinese Embassy are making progress
in their preliminary arrangements for nego
tiation with the British Government. It is
reported that Mr. Burlingame finds that Lord
Stanley is not unfriendly to the policy pro
posed by China, and that he is ready to treat
the question on the broad founds of civi
lization, rather than from the purely English
point of view urged by the London limes.
It is understood that the Ambassadors will
be received by Queen Victoria on the 20th
of lhe present month. After their reception
by the Queen, the Embassy will make a visit
tis Paris.

“Whereas, by an act of Congress of the United

duty of tbo military authority to preserve the
peace at the polls at any election which mfiy be
held in any of the Stated; and,. whereas, tl*
duty hxs become the more imperative, from the
existing political excitement in tbo public mind,
from tbo rcccut organization of civil govern

statute, prohibited tbo organization of military
forces in the several Status of this Department,
it is therefore ordered,
“That the several District commanders will,

ing can rely on tbo good sense aud correct
judgment ot tho mass of the people, and that ho
will not bo compelled to resort to the exorcise of
the power with which he Js entrusted, and which
he will most reluctantly employ. But ho thinks
it his duty to make known, taat so far us tho
power under bis cuiuiHund will admit, he will
not permit the peace to bo broken, and that ho
will not be restrained in the conscientious dis
charge of his duty by feebuieslities of laws made
when tho present nnoma'.ou.' condition of affairs
were neither anticipated or provided for.”
