What Republican cannot answer this
question in the affirmative ? It you cannot,
register at once. Don’t procrastinate. Pro
crastination is the thief of time. You may
be sick to-morrow, or next week. Without
a certificate of registration, you can neither
vote for Mayor or member of Council. You
are all vitally interested in the municipal
election. A lot of hungry D aocratic ex
officials are now greedily waiting to get hold
of the city, so that they can crush every
Republican in the city, or who has ever
expressed any sympathy for our parly. 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 mast register.
Remember, that if yon have resided in the
State one year and in the city for six months,
you are a voter. You know whether or not
Augusta is your home- You may have been
temporarily away. There arc 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. Hut if you feel yourself
entitled to vote, the first step necessary is, to
register.

Wann Company.
Au old Frenchman lias just jlied and left
his young widow SIOO,OOO, on condition
that she passes the hours from 8 a. m. to 6
p. m. in his tomb, each day. If she misses
one hour, she loses the money. She worried
him while he was living, and thus he gels
even.
We don't think he gets even worth a cent.
If she is a good-looking widow, we will bet
a big apple that she don’t pass all those
tomb hours alone. At least she wouldn’t
it we knew her.

Atrocious.
Our friend Col. Hvlbeht, of the State
Railroad, was caned in Atlanta on the 14th
instant, by the combined forces employed in
the Southern Express Company of that
department. We regret that the paper con
taining the particulars of the affair has been
mislaid, as we desired to give them in full
to our readers; but we are gratified to learn
that the follows who perpetrated the outrage
upon Col. Hulbert paid dearly—some two
hundred and fifty dollars, we believe—for
their fun. No serious consequences, we are
pleased to learn, are likely to result from
the caning, although it is said there was an
immense quantity of champague drank im
mediately after the Colonel took the stick
from the hands of his assailants I
Public Evening: School.
Mr. Martin V. Calvin, Principal of the
Houghton Institute, certainly deserves the
thanks of the community for bis offer to open
a public (free) Evening School, at the
Institute, for the benefit of young men and
boys, whose circumstances deny them the
privivilego of attending the Day Schools,
aud who may desire to improve the time
now so precious. The school will be opened
on the first Monday evening in November
proximo, and continued regularly on Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday evenings there
after, beginning at 7} o’clock.
It is to be hoped that no one feeling the
want of an education will hrsitale promptly
to accept Mr. Calvin’s liberal offer to in
struct them. Boys and others desiring the
advantages of®lhis school will do well to
make immediate application to the Prin
cipal.

National Thanksgiving.
'I be President’s proclamation, recommend
ing the last Thursday in November as a
day of National Thanksgiving, has been
issued early enough to give all the States
time to unite upon one dpy for Thanksgiving
Day. Within tho last few years a number
of the States that previously had diverse
days have agreed to accept the dale ap
pointed by the President, and a number of
States that had no traditionary day of
thanks have adopted the custom of setting
apait for that purpose tho day which Presi
dent Lincoln tried to make national. It
would be well if the New England States
and the Southern States would all agree
with the Middle and Western States in
recognizing one National Thanksgiving.
Wc trust that the State and city officials
will call upon all our people to observe th»
day as a Thanksgiving for Pesce, Unity
and Prosperity. The Proclamation will be
found in another column.
Ameer al Cabool.
The most important news by cable irotu
Europe, last week, was the aniiouucenicut
that—
“Shere Ali has been crowned Ameer al
Cabool.”
This will be gratifying news to all of
Shore’s old friends in America. We are
sure we express the sentimeuts of a majority
of our readers when we congratulate the
Caboolers on their selection of a new Ameer
3Ve do not believe there is another man in
all Afghanistan that would make a better
Ameer than Ali. And if there is another
man in all Asia whose great services and
dist’nguished abilities more entitle him to
the Anieership than S. Ali, we confess we
have never heard of hitn. Shere should
have been crowned twenty-five years ago.

Auguata Water Work*.
Jfi. Editor-.-—1 regretted very much to
sea by your paper, and a note from the
Mayor this morning, that a merely technical
expression has been a source of some un
easiness to the patrons of the Augusta
Water Works. And I beg leave to assure
them that if they pay up promptly there
will not be any trouble whatever; otherwise,
the Ordinance must bo enforced, as indicated.
They know 1 cannot afford to dally in such
matters. W. P.
Augusta, October 17. 1868.
For Parental'
The following dialogue, handed down to
us by that distinguished teacher, Prof.
Fowls, is apropos, now that our schools
hare been reopened.
A mother in search of a school for her
child, accosted a young teacher as follows :
Mother.—Are you the mistress of ‘this
school, miss?
Teacljer. — ; I am, madam.
M.—Your school has been highly recom
mended to me, and 1 have concluded to
place ray only daughter under your care, if
we cm agree upon the subject of her’atiMiw,
Pray what do you teach ?
T.—What is usually taught in prepara
tory schools, madam. How old is your
little girl ?
M, —She is only five, but then she is a
child of remarkable capacity.
T—l should not think she studied many
branches at present,, madam, whatever she
may do hereafter.
M.—lndeed, she is not so backward as
you imagine. She has studied astronomy,
botany, and geometry, and her teacher was
preparing to put her into Latin, when ill
health obliged her to relinquish her school.
T. —Have you ever examined her in these
sciences, madam ?
M—O yes, indeed 1 Fraxiuclla, my dear,
tell the lady something of geometry and
astronomy. What is astronomy, In y dear ?
Ask her a question, miss ; jmy question you
please.
T. What planet do we inhabit, my dear ?
■ C. —lter?
T.—What do you live on, niv dear ?
C.—-On meat, ma’am; 1 did not; know
what you meant before.
.Al.—No, my dear; the lady wishes to
know what you stand on now ; on what do
you stand ?
C.—On my feet, mother; did she think 1
stood on my head ?
Al.—FraxineTla'*! dear, you have forgot
ten your astronomy the three days you have
staid at home. But do now say a Hue or
two of your last lesson to the lady ; now do,
dear—that's a darling.
C.—The equinoctial line .is the plane of
the equator extended in a straight line until
it surrounds the calyx or flower cup, for the
two sides of an isuckle triangle are always
equal to the hippopotamus-
Al.—There. Miss; I told you she had it in
her, only it requires a peculiar tact to draw
it out- I knew she would astonish you’
T.—She does, indeed, madam. You
speak of the plane of the equator, my dear;
will you be good enough to tell me the
meaning of the word plane f
. C.— Ugly, ma’am ; 1 thought everybody
knew that.
T.—How many are three times three, my
dear.?
C—Three times three?
T—-Yes, how many are they?
('.—l don’t know. Mrs. Flare never told
me that; she said everybody knows how to
count I
T.—-She taught you to read and spell, I
suppose ?
M.—No, I positively forbade that. I
wished to have her mind properly developed,
without having her intellect frittered away
upon the elements. But I see your schools
will not do for my daughter. I was airaid
you only taught the lower branches. Come,
Fraxy, dear, let us call on Miss Flourish ;
perhaps she is competent to estimate your
acquirements, and finish your education.
Moral: First principles first. “ First the
blade, then the ear, after that the full Corn

Prussia Bearing l.ibern! Pestimony.
The Medical College of Breslau, Prussia,
by command of the Government, instituted
enquiries in regard to the purity ol Dr. Rad
way’s Pills. The following is a copy ol the
report, after a thorough analysis, signed by
Professors of the College :
lb port of an Analysis of Uadwuy's Regu
lating Pills,
Instituted lor the satisfaction of the
Prussian Government and people. It ap
pears that the great popularity of the Pills
throughout Germany, as an aperient, anti
billions and alterative medicine, had pro
voked thq malice of the apothecaries, who
caused a report to be circulated that tho
ingredients were poisonous. Therefore a
scientific inquisition into their nature and
properties was ordered, the issues of which
was a most triumphant vindication of the
sanitary value of the Pills.
The Faculty of the College state in their
riqiorl that after a careful and minute ex
amination, they have the honor to state that
“ the Pills are not only tree from every sub
statice injurious Io health, but aid composed
wholly of substances and elements promotive
of digestion, at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system,”
etc., etc. They state, further, that the inju
rious rumors set afloat by the Prussian
apothecaries originated “in a mean spirit of
trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity
attained by the Pills within a very brief
period.”

Politics and Religion.—A correspond
ent objects to Rev. W. H. 8001, pastor of
the M. E. Church in Williamsburgh, preach
ing a political sermoi! from his pulpit on
Sunday, as he did on the 4th inst. Ob, let
him talk. He has no influence with Christ,
and none with the people. “Ye can not
serve God and Mammon.” Ye can not
preach religion and politics, for they will
not mix. Christ is all-ahsorbitig, and who
ever undertakes to convert’souls has all he
can do to succeed, and only then by atten
tion to Ins religious duties as teacher. If a
man wishes to preach politics on the Sab
bath, then cheer him or groan him down in
his pulpit, for he has made the house of
God but a caucus-room, and deserves no
respect. — Brick Pomeroy’s Democrat.
The New State Home.
The following, from the pen ot our clever
friend, Watson, of the Era, gives a pleasant
and gratifying view of the progress of the
New State House at Atlanta :
For the first time since it has been under
constructioa, we were in and through tho
Kimball Opera Hoose, from basement to
roof, on yesterday. The building having
arrived nt that stage of its progress when the
work done upon it makes veßy little outside
show, one is very apt to fancy that no very
great progress has been made ; and we were
really surprised when we entered and found
such progress had been and is still being
made. The roof is long ago completed, the
floors are all laid, and the plasterers are
pushing ahead their work. The first coat
has been laid entirely over the npper story,
and the men are at work upon the others.
The work of lathing tho building will soon
be completed. ’
No person who has not been inside this
building lias any correct conception of its
magnitude and capacity, as well as its adap
tation to the purpose to which it is to bo
applied. The room designated for the Sen
ate Chamber will be a magnificent one. It
is very large, with high ceiling, and with a
gallery upon three sides. The Representa
tives' Hall is much larger, with still higter
ceiling, and with abundant gallery room.
Both of these halls have ample ventilation,
abundant light and will be handsomely
fescocd and otherwise ornamented.
The rooms for the Governor, Secretary of
State, Attorney General, Supreme Court,
Chief Justice. Law and General Library,
Comptroller General and Treasurer, are
large, and well lighted and ventillated, and
easy of access. They are all arranged for
the Utmost convenience.
The building, as it Stands, is five stories
high. The cast end is surmounted by a tall
tower, in which the City Council has agreed
to put a fine clock, with a bell that can be
heard two milts.
Under the direction of the Messrs. Kim
ball the work is going forward rapidly.
Every department of the work is being
pushed vigorously, with tho determination to
have the entire building in readiness by the
next session of the Assembly. This, we
judge, will be done, for as many hands as
can work to advantage are employed upon
the work.
The first floor of the building will be
fitted up for six store rooms, each with a
basement, which will make admirable retail
business houses. The doors to each of these
s'ore-rooras will be ol a single glass plate,
seven feet by twelve—each plate costing not
less than one thousand dollars.
The negotiation between the City Council
and the Messrs. Kimball for this building,
to be used as a State House, was the
happiest arrangement that could have been
made. And we had as well state here tliat
the Messrs.- Kimball was very instrumental
in counteracting the disposition of the Legis
lature to remove the Capitol back to Mil
ledgeville. From the lime these gentlemen
took hold of the buil'ling, the people have
been satisfied that it would be completed.
They set to work upon it immediately, and
our citizens were soon relieved from the
spectacle of half completed walls. These
gentlemen will soon fulfill their contract
with the city, and the State will have a good
Capitol—one that will answer well for ten
years—the period for which the city agreed
to supply it.
The Republican Victokt in New
Jersey.—The vote on the general ticket is
too close and complicated with local ques
tions to decide as to the majority. Bigelow,
Democrat, has 10 majority for Water Com
missioner, and Poinier, Republican, 170 ma
jority for Tax Couiiuissioner. The aggre
gate vole for Aldermen gives the Republicans
282 majority. The Republicans elect given
Aldermen ami the Democrats six. The
Common Council will be composed of seven
teen Republicans to nine Democrats, being a
Democratic gain of one.— Newark Dispatch.

to rejoicing over Republican victories, they
now Ijxve a chance to go into eCstacies.

‘‘Whereas, by an act of Congress of the United
States, approved March 2, 1865, it is made the
duty of the military authority to preserve the
peace at Jhc polls at any election which may be
he,4 in any of tho States ; aud, whereas, this
duty liss become tho more imperative, from the
existing political excitement in tho public mind,
frohi tho recent'organization of Civil govern
ment, and from the fact that Congress has, by
. tatute, prohibited tho organization of military
forces iu the several States of this Department,
it is therefore ordered,
“That the several- District commanders will,
as soon as practicable, on the receipt of this
order, distribute the troops under their commands
as follows ;
* « ■» » « #
In tho District of Georgia :
One eompany 16th Infantry, to Albany.

“Tbo troops will be considered as in tiro field
aud supplied with tho necessary ciuup equipage
the men to bo furnished with cummou tents i
practicable, and if not practicable, with shelter
touts. Commanding officers are permitted to
hire quarters, temporarily, when it can be done
for reasonable rates ; but this will not preclude
the necessity us carrying touts, as the commands,
in al! eases, must be in readiness tu move at the
shortest notice, with a'l supplies required for
their efficiency.
‘‘District Commauder- will instruct Post Com
manders in their duties, aiul the relative position
of the civil a.nd military powers. They will
impress oii Post Cofiimaudera that they arc to
act iu aid and co-operation, >ind in subordination
to the civil authorities; that they are to exercis'o
discretion aud judgment, unbiased by political
or other piejudioeio; that their object ahonld he
exclusively to preserve the peace and uphold law
andzirdor, and they must bo'satisfied such is the
object of tho civil officer culling ou them for aid ;
that they must in all oases, where time will
permit, apply for instruction to superior au
thority, but they must at all hazards preserve
the poitee, and not be restrained by technical
points, when, iu their conscientious judgment,
under tho rules above set forth, it is their duty
tv act. Post Comiuauders ou being notified of
the proposed holding of political meetings, u»ay

rounding ap|-eala that (bey will co-uperute with
him aud tbcueivil authorities in sustaining law
and order, in preserving the peace, and in avoid
ing those scenes of riut and bloodshed, and the
wanton destruction of property aud life which
has already, in some instahees, been enacted in
this Department, He urses abstinence from all
inflammatory aud incendiary appeals to. thia
passioas ; diseouuteuauciug Um keeping open of
liquor shops on days of political meetings aud>i
oleeSion; the abstaining from earrying arms,
and ;is..citii:g the individual right of construing
Itiwe by force of arms. No just eautc is over ad
vanced by resort to violence. Let there be
charity and forbearance among political dfo-o
nents, whatever may be the result. Let each
good citizen dotermine that all who, undur the
aw, have tho right to tl;e ballot shall exercise il,
undisturbed. If there arc disputed points of
law, let them be referred to the Courts, anti let
not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsi

execute tho law. This appeal is made in the
earnest hope that the Major General Cvmmand
iug can rely on the good souse and correct
judgment ot the mass of tho people, and that ho
will not bo compelled to resort to the exercise of
the power,with which be is entrusted, and which
be will most reluctantly employ. But he thinks
it his duty to make known, that Sv far as the
power under bis command will admit, be will,
not permit the peace to bo broken, and tliat be
will not be restrained iu the eouseieutmiu dis
charge of his duty by techuiealitics of laws luado
when the present Snumatous condition of straits
were neither anticipated or provided for.”
